Chapter 4

Persephone

"Perse! Persephone, get down here. You'll be late for school!" A beautifully aged mother called up her stairs.

A bright girl skipped down the stairs, golden hair trailing behind her and blue-gray eyes smiling.

"I'm ready!" She sang, kissed her mother and wished her well before heading out of the door, grabbing her worn jacket and rainbow school bag.

Walking across the street, the 5-minute warning bell screamed at the young girl.

She walked in class and sat next to her friend Dawn.

"Hiya Dawn!" She smiled.

"Hey, how're you?" Dawn scraped a piece of paper for her sketch book and threw in the trash. Dawn wiped her forehead looking as if she hadn't gotten any sleep.

"I'm good," She smiled, "You don't look so good, are you alright?"

"I didn't get much sleep last night. Too much homework." She lied. She really had been thinking about her encounter with Jasper.

"That sucks. Well, I hope you feel more energized now that I'm here!" She smiled and sat still and stared at her, giving her that same face that means hug time.

"Go ahead." Persephone squealed and hugged her friend, squeezing her life away.

"Your killing me Perse!" Persephone let go of her friend and patted her brunette head.

'I love you too much to kill you.'

"What ever you owl."

'Yeah, yeah... Shut up you mind reader.' Perse thought

XxXxX

After school Dawn and Persephone went to Dawn's house. In the living room Dawn was reading the ingredients list on Persephone granola bar. "Are you sure you can eat this?"

Perse sighed and grabbed the bar ripping it open and stuffing the whole thing in her mouth. "Yes, I'm sure. You don't need to baby me." she said with a full mouth.

"If I don't you'll die hunny-bun."

She finished her bar slowly, only getting glares from Dawn.

Perse grew a smile that fit her perfectly. Dawn grew one as well.

"So, Jasper brought me home yesterday, after that incident with Mike during lunch," Dawn said, moving to break their eye-contact. "The Cullens know my secret now."

"WHAT! Why did you tell them?"

Dawn hid the truth from Perse. She didn't need to know there was more then one super-natural being in Forks. She just wasn't ready for that.

"I accidentally answered a question Edward thought," She shot me a disapproving look. "I messed up. But they promised they wouldn't say anything."

"And you believed them?" Perse stood and started to full-out yell at Dawn. "How stupid could you be? You can't trust any of them!"

"Why not?" Dawn stood and yelled too.

"Because they are not the type of people you can trust!" Dawn felt the tears sting her eyes.

"You don't know anything about them, Perse! Don't you of all people tell me they can't be trusted!"

Perse went silent. She knew the Cullens weren't human. Though it would crush Dawn if she knew.

Perse grabbed her rainbow schoolbag and headed to the door.

"If you finally come to your senses, call me." She slammed the door behind her.

Dawn sat on the stairs, across from the doorway, tears covering her rosy cheeks.

The doorbell quickly rang and Jacob was there, "Hey Jake. Now isn't really a good time." She said wiping her tears away.

He stepped inside and wrapped his arms around her, "Aww, what happened?"

"Me and Perse had a fight." She choked out.

"What about this time?" We had been known the fight for two or three days then completely forget about then be the best of friends again.

"The Cullens."

"Dawn... You know hoe I fell about them. Please be careful. Whatever you get into with them, I don't want you hurt."

"Okay, I'll be careful..." Jacob went to leave, "Jake, if you see Perse..."

"Tell her sorry for you." He smiled and gave her a quick hug and was out the door.

She grabbed her music player and changed into her running clothes. Sweatpants and a big orange t-shirt.

She left the house soon after Jacob and went for a run in the woods.

She loved to run, it helped her and started running. She was only a few blocked form the edge of the woods, there was a trail she liked to follow. It leads to a spring by a huge tree and boulders.

When she made it to her spot, she sat staring at the view around her. A huge tree towered over everything like a skyscraper, there was a small spring beneath it, big enough for a small swim. A large group of boulders come form the clean water, grouping into the mountain beside it.

No voices. No noise. No distractions. It was definitely worth the hour run.

She breathes again, a slow deep breath.

"Well, you look lovely." She turns to see Jasper, smirking, looking absolutely breathtaking with the sun only hinting at the top of his hair and at the tips of his fingers.

"How'd you..." She stood and leaned against the cool mountains.

"This is where I go to relax. I was going for a run when I heard something over here," He smiled. "I didn't think to find a sweaty, panting version of my Dawn out here."

"Your Dawn?" She scoffed, "I didn't think I was owned by anyone." She smirked, tucking away her ear buds.

"So what brings you to my neck of the woods?" He smiled, inching closer.

"I was also going for a run. Wanted to go to my little getaway spot." My smile faded, "You don't smile much, when your not around me at least, do you?" She leaned closer, analyzing his every micro-expression on his perfect face. You'd think I'd be used to his magnificence the more I was around him, but I guess not.

"I have something to tell you, Dawn." She was confused, but until she heard 'La tua contante'.

"Your my la tua contante."

"Your singer? What the hell does that mean?"

"Your blood is extra special to me. It sings to me, taunts me." He stepped closer. "It makes me want you, want all of you. It's indescribable how you smell..."

"Like a pig?" She said looking down to her sweaty self.

"No, you smell like... like a fresh ocean shore and honey-crisp apples and sweet flowers, even those things could never life up to you," He got up so closer they were nearly touching, "It's amazing..."

"Are you going to kill me?" She asked calmly, like asking about the weather.

"No, I don't plan on it, but Alice has seen something that may interest you," He brushes a lock of hair behind her ear, "She saw you. You were like us, Dawn. You will be changed."

"I have to think Jasper," All she could think about was Perse and how it would kill her if she would be changed. She wouldn't, couldn't do that to her.

"I never expected you to say anything, Alice's visions can be a little... sketchy, if you know what I mean."

"Well, thanks, but I really should get going." She started to walk away from him but was caught by his cool hand.

"Don't go." He whispered to her.

He held his breath, not because of her but because he wanted to take in all of this moment. He was closer to Dawn then he had ever been before. She swallowed and slowly brushed her fingers along his jaw, tracing his bottom lip. He wrapped and arm around her waist, all happening at an alarmingly slow pace. She closed her eyes, trusting in him again.

The tip of his nose started at the top of her jaw closest to her ear, and moved down to her chin like a feather, "You're not scared?"

"Why should I be?" She answered quickly, "I trust you." She reached up and ran her fingers through his hair, his face moved closer to hers. Lips barely touching, She goes to the kiss when the pain came.

Haha cliffhanger!
