AN: Thank you Mrs. Carlisle McDreamy Hawkes and Cullendaughter45…to being the first two reviewers for my story. *tears up* I thought that you guys loved me… anyway, welcome to my next chapter, ENJOY and REVIEW!

Jasper's POV

It was scaring me, the fact that Raven wasn't responding to any of my attempts to keep her awake. The sight of her, pale and in Shadow's embrace is forever burned in my memory.

"Son," Carlisle called from the front seat. "How's she doing?" he turned onto Billy's driveway, which, half a mile down, forked off, our house to the east, and Billy's house to the north.

"I can't get her to awaken. She isn't responding to anything, but I can hear her siblings moaning behind us." I said, brushing a hand through her brown tresses, which, when I look at them closer, had streaks of red in them. She was sweating up a storm, and her white t-shirt was soaked through, and I felt the relief coming off of her in waves whenever she drew closer to me. She still moaned, but it only happened once every three minutes.

"Maybe being close to you helps, you just might be her imprint." Esme said softly, gripping the hand closest to her, rubbing soft circles in her palm. "Put a hand on the back of her neck, maybe that'll help with the overheating issue." I nodded, and the moment my bare flesh touched hers, her eyes opened, which surprised me when almost amber eyes stared back at me.

"Jazzy-Purr," she whimpered, and I cupped her face with my free hand. "I feel like I'm going to puke, are we close to a bathroom?"

"We're going to Jacob's house, Darlin', it'll be over soon," I said, and she nodded, but a sharp spike of fear caused her to grip my shirt tightly.

"Jazzy-Purr? Can you tell Alice that I won't be able to go shopping with her tomorrow? I don't think I will be fit to walk around after tonight." She whispered, and I chuckled softly.

"Of course, Darlin', the big bad Pixie won't steal you away tomorrow. Promise." I said, chuckling again when Alice growled from three cars away.

She nodded, and burrowed her way into the crook of my neck. "Thank you Jazzy-Purr," she said, and said softly, "You smell like honey and hay…" Before she closed her eyes and just rested against my chest like a kitten.

We arrived at Billy's house, I was the first into the small mansion, since all the pack and their imprints lived here as well as Billy and Shadow, and, since Raven wouldn't let go of my shirt, I sat down on the couch, with her still in my lap, and she started to shake, all the while, I heard Shadow run into the house top-speed.

By the sounds of it, Sparrow, Raven's sister, had run in, and slammed into Paul, while she started to shake…right next to Shadow's collection. "Paul, she's shifting, GET HER AWAY FROM MY CHINA!"

When she yelled the last part, Raven started to lengthen, her brown hair turning black and lengthening, going down to around her knees and curling around the extension of her spine that ended up being her tail, her face turned to that of a big jungle cat, and her back legs cracked, making me wince, and all her clothes were destroyed.

The end result—my Raven shifted into a beautiful puma, deep rosettes embedded into her fur, and she was about the same size as one of the members of the pack, maybe slightly bigger. "Raven?" I said, gently grazing my fingers through the fur at her neck.

She turned to look at me and yowled, placing her left forepaw and placed it on my hip, shoving her face into my neck and breathing in deep, sending shivers of awareness down my spine, knowing she was masking my scent with hers.

Then a feminine voice came through my head: Pretty, pretty mate, all mine, ONLY mine. I snapped to Edward, whom had a similar expression on his face, and he ended up shrugging in shock.

"Everyone see that? WHY ARE THEY CATS INSTEAD OF WOLVES?" Embry yelled, which earned him a smack in the back of the head by Shadow, and he quickly uttered an apology.

"It's actually easy to explain, the Crispen family was always rumored to have an ability to shift, like you guys but with different circumstances, but same reason, vampires." Carlisle said, while eyeing me and Raven on the couch. "They also have a similar imprint theory, except a key difference, the imprinted can hear the beast's thoughts.

Raven snapped to look at Carlisle, toying with my hair up until that point. Then, seeing nothing of interest went back to toying with my hair. "Do they do that a lot, 'cause, I don't think I can handle watching that whenever Raven feels overly-friendly." Emmett said, watching Raven and pretending to look ill, which earned him smack number four of the night by Rosalie and a low growl by Raven, vibrating against my chest where her own lay against mine.

Then I heard the feminine voice again: Big, threat to mate, protect, minemineminemineminemine! I shushed her, and Raven purred, while laying her head on my shoulder.

"Carlisle, I think that that part about the 'imprinted hearing the beast's thoughts' is more accurate than you think." Edward said, eyeing me and Raven, causing a quiet growl to erupt from deep in my chest.

Carlisle looked from Edward to me and Raven, then realization struck him, "Jasper, son, can you hear her thoughts?"

I paused, before answering with a nod. "But only the Beast's, not Raven's."

Run…the call is too much to ignore any longer…freedom…run, stretch my legs…run with mate…mine. The Beast said, and I went to stand up, Raven going with me. Billy caught the sight of Raven's face, and jolted, surprised.

"Carlisle, they will be wanting to run, I just didn't tell you because with the pack it took longer, boys, go with them." He turned to the pack, and they nodded, following me and Raven when we lead the way through the back door.

Raven's POV

The cool contact of a hand touching my neck brought me back around, and I looked up to see Jasper Whitlock staring back at me. "Jazzy-Purr," I whimpered, and he cupped my face with his free hand. "I feel like I'm going to puke, are we close to a bathroom?"

"We're going to Jacob's house, Darlin', it'll be over soon," he said, and I nodded, then a sharp spike of fear washed through me when I thought about what Alice had asked of me earlier, which caused me to grip his shirt tightly.

"Jazzy-Purr? Can you tell Alice that I won't be able to go shopping with her tomorrow? I don't think I will be fit to walk around after tonight." I whispered, and he chuckled softly.

"Of course, Darlin', the big bad Pixie won't steal you away tomorrow. Promise." he said, chuckling again a short time later.

I nodded, and burrowed my way into the crook of his neck. "Thank you Jazzy-Purr," I said, and then, losing my grip on reality, muttered softly, "You smell like honey and hay…" Before I closed my eyes and just rested against his chest, savoring the comfort his presence and touch provided.

Soon, we were out of the car we were in before, and were now in what looked to be a living-room. Jasper tried to lay me on a small, deep purple couch, but when I refused to release the hold I had on his shirt, he sat down on the couch with me in his embrace.

Then all of a sudden the creature inside me decided now was the time to explode, causing me to shake and the pain to escalade to unimaginable heights, and I felt ligaments snap and reattach, and bones to pop and reform to that closer to a cat, until I was looking down to two huge, black paws and my senses went haywire, smell, sight, hearing, and touch had skyrocketed to the point where the feel of Jasper's hand going through my fur sent shivers through my whole frame.

"Raven?" He asked, and I turned to call him back, but all that came out was a yowl, and I moved my left forepaw and placed it on his hip, not knowing what I was doing until I had shoved my face into the crook of his neck and breathing in deep, making Jasper's frame to shiver in awareness.

Then the animal's voice came through my head: Pretty, pretty mate, all mine, ONLY mine. Causing Jasper to snap over to look at Edward in shock. Edward had a similar expression on his face, and he ended up shrugging in agreement to the situation.

"Everyone see that? WHY ARE THEY CATS INSTEAD OF WOLVES?" A stranger yelled from the kitchen, which earned him a smack in the back of the head by the woman from before, and he quickly uttered an apology.

After that, Jasper's curly hair caught the attention of the animal, and I started to play with it with my paws, not paying attention to anything except for the words that came out of Carlisle's mouth.

"It's actually easy to explain, the Crispen family was always rumored to have an ability to shift, like you guys but with different circumstances, but same reason, vampires." Carlisle said, pausing before continuing. "They also have a similar imprint theory, except a key difference, the imprinted can hear the beast's thoughts.

I snapped to look at Carlisle, but after that information, it got kind of bland and I went back to playing with Jasper's curls. "Do they do that a lot, 'cause, I don't think I can handle watching that whenever Raven feels overly-friendly." Emmett said, which earned him a smack by Rosalie and a low growl by me, vibrating against Jasper's chest where mine laid against his.

Then the animal made itself known again: Big, threat to mate, protect, minemineminemineminemine! Jasper shushed her, and I purred, while laying my head on his shoulder.

"Carlisle, I think that that part about the 'imprinted hearing the beast's thoughts' is more accurate than you think." Edward said, eyeing me and Jasper, causing a quiet growl to erupt from deep in Jasper's chest.

Carlisle looked from Edward to me and Jasper, then realization struck him, "Jasper, son, can you hear her thoughts?"

He paused, before he answered with a nod. "But only the Beast's, not Raven's."

Run…the call is too much to ignore any longer…freedom…run, stretch my legs…run with mate…mine. The animal said, and Jasper went to stand up, with me not far behind. Jacob Black's dad caught the sight of my face, and jolted, surprised.

"Carlisle, they will want to run, I just didn't tell you because with the pack it took longer, boys, go with them." He turned to the pack, and they nodded, following Jasper and I when we lead the way through the back door.

AN: I liked the ideas of this chapter. GO and SEE Eclipse! It was fantastic and Jasper was a dream!
