Read and Review.
Chapter 4
Jasper's POV
We were driving home when I felt a blast of emotions hit me all at once. I groaned, my head starting pounding. Agony. Was one of the most powerful emotions that I felt when we were closer to the house I realized that it was coming from the backyard.
When the car stopped I ran to the back following the emotions. There Esme was sitting, sobbing unshed tears. I ran over to her and wrapped her into my arms. I felt something wet seeping through my shirt.
I realized that Esme had started crying. What the hell? Vampires don't cry but Esme was crying venom. The gray tears had fallen down her cheeks but the venom seemed to be harmless. I wiped the tears from her eyes and picked her up.
Everyone was at the entrance of the garden staring at me. I smiled at them and they understood that Esme was defiantly in an emotional crisis. I would be the only one who could fix her but she needed to rest and so did I before I could help her I needed to hunt.
I handed Esme over to Emmett I would have handed her over to Carlisle but when I was about to put her in his arms her emotions began to overload. I may not be a doctor but I knew that, that wasn't good at all.
Without even looking at Carlisle I knew that he felt guilty. Good. He should, cheating on Esme like that and to think he would have thought that she would never be able to find out about Bella.
I ran into the woods trying to relax my muscles that felt like they were locked in place. Woah, all that tension was coming from the house. I hunted for about an hour and felt quenched afterwards. I took in a deep breath and headed to the house.
This was going to be a long night. I didn't need Alice to tell me that. I came closer to the house and began to hear noises. It sounded like objects smashing. I quickened my pace and in less than a minute I was at the house.
I opened the door and saw glass shattered everywhere on the floor. Esme held a glass plate in her hand aiming it at Carlisle. "Where is Bella?" I asked cautiously my hands in the air in defense.
"Everyone's up here, Jasper." I heard my Alice say, her voice cracking. I nodded even thought she couldn't see me. I took cautious steps towards Esme. "Esme put the plate down." Esme shook her head sobbing.
I ran up to her using my vampire speed and grabbed her arm, taking the plate away from her. Esme fell to her knees holding the envelope that came with Bella. I took the envelope from her hand, taking out a letter.
Dear Carlisle,
I know you're wondering why Isabella is here. I need you to take care of her. I've gotten myself into a lot of trouble and don't know if I'll be able to get myself out. If you're wondering how I found you, I thank the Volturi. Please take care of her and let her know that I love her with all my heart.
Tiffany
I opened the envelope to see if anything else was in it. There was a picture and a locket. I looked at the picture confused. Was this Tiffany?
"Is…is this Tiffany?" I asked Carlisle. He nodded.
"Her name isn't Tiffany, its Rebecca and she's my sister." Esme screamed. Esme curled herself into a ball, glass surrounding her. Carlisle stiffened. "Esme, that's impossible. For your sister to be alive and be that age she'd have to be a vampire."
Esme shook her head. "She's not a vampire. She's something else way more complicated than that." She mumbled under her breath. I picked her up and brought her to the kitchen opening a canteen of blood. I brought it towards esme's mouth and waited for her to drink some. Esme gagged.
"No, I don't want that." I took a step back shocked. The way she said it was so venomous. Esme went to the tap turning the cold water on, and gulping water down with her hand.
Carlisle stepped in the kitchen. "Esme, what's wrong? Why are you drinking water?" Esme turned to Carlisle and burst out crying. "I can't believe you slept with my sister!" I heard the steps creak. Everyone was coming down now. Carlisle would now have to explain everything to us. And Esme as well, what the hell did she mean her sister was something more complicated than a vampire. I need to know what I'm dealing with right now. My head started to pound into my skull. I took the blood from the canteen I was holding and gulped it down. The pressure in my head was now calmer. I could think.
Everyone gathered around in the living room. The glass had been cleaned up. Carlisle sat alone on the single chair, where Edward usually sat. Everyone looked at Carlisle…well everyone was more like glaring at him wanting him to explain himself. Esme had her head in between her knees. Carlisle looked at nobody else but her.
I was right. This would be a very long night.
