AN: Hello all! Though I don't have many readers those of you who take the time to read this...

I LOVE YOU!! I've wanted to write a story for some time, but I was a bit nervous with how it would be perceived in the world of fanfiction. Plus there are already sooo many stories out there I wanted it to be original, so I hope I captured that.

This story remains without a beta so be ready for errors! Sorry

Anyway…on with the story!

Chapter 4

EPOV

There in front of me stood the most enchanting creature that has ever possessed this damned existence.

Beautiful did not even cover it.

She looked to be around twenty years of age, and if her car wasn't enough, she had the hottest body I had ever seen in my entire one hundred and eight years. She stood at around 5'10" with legs that went on and on. Just looking at her made my body react in a foreign way.

Once I was done openly gaping and the Goddess that stood in front of me, I noticed that I could not read her mind, just like I could not read Jasper's.

And her eyes…

Her eyes were the most brilliant Violet I had ever seen; similar to Jasper's yet more vibrant.

Hmmmm…I wonder if she knows Jasper.

That's when she spoke, in a sultry and sexy voice, the one word that made my mind come crashing down from its thoughts and caused untainted jealousy to rip through me.

"Jasper…"

I couldn't contain myself anymore. Jasper always seemed to have and take what I wanted. All beginning with Alice.

Flashback

We heard them in the distance, light footfalls coming from the south. From the sound there was at least one, but perhaps another. Whoever they were, they were silent and stealthy.

When they broke through the pines of our backyard I immediately heard my name reverberating in my head.

'Edward, we mean you and your family no harm. We want to join you' her tinker-like voice was beautiful. My eyes then fell upon her. Standing at around 5' though she carried herself very proudly, as though she were taller. She had short black hair that was windswept from their run, and though I may be no empathy, she was radiating pure love and her thoughts were very curious, not at all harmful or vicious.

Her crimson eyes told me that she was a human drinker, but her thoughts conveyed her newborn status.

How could this be? She was far too controlled.

Someone clearing their throat brought me out of my reverie.

"Hello. My name is Jasper Whitlock, and this young one is Alice." There stood a tall man who made my 6'3" look weak and brittle. He had an air around him that demanded power and respect. From his voice I could tell he was from the south…hmmm…the south, it's dangerous down there.

And Oh his eyes! Violet depths that went on and on. One glance at them and I could tell that the air he carried around was not just for show. He was powerful how very powerful I could not be certain. Surely not above the Volturi right?

But what captivated me more than anything about this foreign man was not his powerful air, or his distinct eyes. I could not read his mind.

This has never happened to me before, and it frustrated me to no end. I pushed harder trying to get the smallest glimpse into his psyche, but the minute I pushed his intense gaze fell on me and made me recoil from my attempt.

Was this beautiful Pixie his mate? The attraction was definitely there on her part which made me uncomfortable in the oddest of ways, but from him? I could not be certain. Then he spoke, in a velvet voice that demanded respect and attention.

"Alice told me of a family that lived of the blood of animals that lived here. We come to you from Texas where Alice found me wandering alone. I am not a stranger to this diet; in fact I have practiced it for quite some time. We seek refuge and if you'll have us, we would like to become a part of this dynamic." Esme stared at him for a few seconds before she spoke, no doubt wondering how he captivated everyone so thoroughly with only a few words.

"Of course my dears come in!"

"Thank you" the beautiful Pixie, Alice, spoke

From that moment I knew that I wanted her. She made me feel again. Something that was so lost to me before. From just a few spoken words, she gave me a glimpse of hope that I had thought I lost after Carlisle damned me to this life.

End Flashback

That's right, I want Alice. I had to hide my true feelings from Jasper in fear that he would think I wanted to steal her.

Even after fifty years, Jasper remains in the background of our family. I've always been jealous of him but I was able to turn that into unhappiness which I believe made him think that I was unhappy with this existence. Which I am, but not nearly as much from before Alice.

Everyone in the family knows that Jasper does not hold any interest in Alice and this angers me. She follows him around like a puppy, and he hardly even spares her a second glance. We still know relatively nothing about him; he refuses to talk about his past. All that we know is that he is very very old and even more powerful.

After about a year, Carlisle called Aro of the Volturi to ask him if he knew of Jasper Whitlock.

Flashback

Carlisle and I were hunting on the border of Canada when he brought Jasper up.

"Have you been able to read anything from him yet, Edward?"

"No, and I don't even bother trying. Not after the first time. Carlisle, he knows when I am trying to get into his head." I said in an exasperated tone

"Maybe I should call Aro. Don't get me wrong, if Alice trusts him then so do I, I just wish he would incorporate himself into the family more."

"Yes, I know. You should call Aro then. But I'm not sure if you should wait. If you call Aro anywhere near Jasper and he hears he might become suspicious."

"You're right, son" With that we ran to the nearest telephone and Carlisle called Aro.

"Hello?"

"Aro, this is Carlisle."

"Ah Carlisle, my dear friend! It's been too long! What can I do for you today?" Aro spoke in an excited voice. He really did like Carlisle, the feelings were mutual.

"I was hoping for some answers, Aro"

"And what is it that you would like to know my dear friend?"

"Have you ever heard of a vampire called, Jasper Whitlock?

There was a long pause on the other end and when Aro answered his voice was shaky and scared. Odd…Aro was never scared.

"Where have you heard that name, Carlisle?" Aro asked in a nervous voice

I mouthed to Carlisle to not tell him that Jasper is living with us and he nodded slightly in acknowledgment.

"I just heard it from some rogue vampires we ran across while playing baseball." Carlisle responded.

"Oh. Well in that case, he is just another vampire, Carlisle. Nothing that should concern you or your family."

"Well then it was nice speaking to you, Aro. I'll make sure not this much time passes before we speak again."

"Good bye, Carlisle" With that the line went dead.

End Flashback

There was a tug on my shirt which brought me back from my thoughts. When I focused my mind both Jasper and the unknown Goddess were gone. Alice was also wondering where they went and she looked a little put out.

Now's your chance to talk to her you idiot. My mind was all over the place today so I decided not to chance talking to her on the chance that I might make a fool of myself.

"Alice, we should be getting to class" I said

"Yeah I guess we should" she responded

AnonymousPOV

The state of Washington.

A wet and dreary state. In this state was a small town called Forks, where the weather was even more dismal than the rest of the state put together.

I don't know why I had to be sent here, we all know it's a lost cause.

The God and Goddess of War cannot be defeated. They probably already know that I am here, which would not end well for me, that was for sure.

But my leader is greedy and though I hate to admit it she does have a small advantage that no other has had the opportunity to have.

She worked with the God of War himself.

Maria.

She spent sixty years with the Warlord, fighting with him until he turned against her for her heinous crimes.

This gave her an unneeded ego boost and somehow in that non-existent brain of hers, she believes that she is now untouchable. I guess being the only vampire to ever be spared for the wrath of the God of War himself would do that to you though. That is why no one argues with her.

The God and his Queen were not known to be the forgiving type so this was just grand.

I, however, know the real reason why she was spared.

The God was not himself. He was empty, missing his Queen. This made him even more lethal than he already was. He was ruthless and killed without thought at times. For this reason, he spared Maria. He saw how empty she was and he sympathized with her.

Maria's evil saved her once, but to think that it would save her a second time is pure stupidity.

So here I am, here to gather information on the infamous God of War himself, also known as Jasper Hale.

AN: So I know that this is the second time I ended a chapter with Jasper's name but if I didn't end it here, it would go on for another six pages. Please review!

I love you all!!
