All In The Family
Chapter 3-I Know What You Are
AN: Sorry about the way-slow update ('specially you, Kiah) I've been working on school and other stories and my defective Twitter and...well yeah. Anyway, I'm updating now. I'm also currently reading Like Last Tuesday Except With Zombies by Angel-Dawes on here. Check that out if you want. It's amazingsauce :)
Also, please excuse any possible typos in this chapter.
Jasper's POV
I sat down on our large couch, studying Tasha's face. She looked confused, and justifiably so, as she had been wondering what she was since Day 1. I smiled at her, trying to make her feel more comfortable here, and launched into my story.
"Okay, Tasha. You came up here to find out what you are, yes?" She nodded. "Well, that's going to take some explanation." I paused, and decided to just come out and say it. "I'm a vampire. So is Alice, and pretty much our entire family." Tasha just blinked. She didn't seem shocked or scared or...anything. It was sort of disconcerting. "But we're not like other vampires," I continued, ignoring Tasha's apathy. "See, we don't drink human blood. We live off of the blood of animals." I paused again, giving Tasha a chance to speak.
"So...am I a vampire, too?"
I smiled. "No. You would remember transforming, in that case." I remembered Alice, and added, "Most likely. But you are sort of right.
"You're what we call a half vampire. Female vampires do not have the ability to reproduce, but it seems that male ones do. A male vampire in Brazil-your and Nahuel's father-discovered this, and fathered about a dozen creatures like yourself. The young baby vampires..." I thought about what I was about to say, and edited the story, telling of Renesmee's unique experience instead. "...were born as humans, and their father stole them away at birth. He wanted to create an army."
"I noticed on the phone that you knew Nahuel was my brother before I even said it," she commented."
"Yeah, all the half-vamps have the same father," confirmed Alice.
"And my aunt took me in before he could find me," Tasha thought aloud, sounding distant.
"The same happened to Nahuel," I explained.
Tasha snapped back to the present. "So...then I'm a half-vampire?"
"Yes," I replied.
"And I drink blood?"
"You can," Alice explained. "You probably know that you can also survive on human food."
"But I can drink blood?"
"Yes," I repeated.
"Sweet!" exclaimed Tasha, smiling.
"What?" I asked, disbelieving.
