Chapter.4: Discovery.

Normal P.O.V.

The sunlight slightly penetrated through the curtain's and gently seemed to cares Bella's face, it seemed that staring was all Jasper could do, she would have stolen his breath away if he needed to breathe, she was truly one of the most beautiful thing's he has had the pleasure of laying his eyes on. It felt calming and soothing, and just plain right as he laid in the bed curled up against her, he was gently running his fingers through her hair, he'd found that after her second nightmare, that by doing this, she remained calm enough to sleep. When they had kissed early that morning, it was magical, from that moment on he knew, she was his true mate and he was not only happy, but he also became worried at what Edward might try to do if and when he found out.

Once more Bella began to stir, she slowly opened her eyes and let out a yawn, when she looked up at Jasper she smiled at him and he smiled back. "How are you feeling?" he asked her quietly, letting out another yawn as she stretched, she took a moment to quickly look around the room before once more settling her gaze upon him.

"I feel great, the worst of the pain is gone, and it's more like a dull ache now." She replied.

"That's good, would you like something to eat?" He asked as her stomach let out a rumbling noise, her cheeks became blushed from her embarrassment, and she nodded her head lightly in response. Jasper chuckled at her cute behavior, before he carefully got up and out of the bed and gently helped Bella out of the bed, paying extra attention to not jar her arm and cause her any unwanted pain.

"Well let's get you some grub shall we." He said softly, slightly teasing her, and she once more blushed. They then made their way downstairs to the kitchen, and Jasper proceeded to gather specific ingredient's, before starting to make Bella breakfast. She was completely blown away that he knew how to cook, seeing as how he was a vampire, she figured that he had forgotten how to since he no longer required that form of food as sustenance. It didn't take long for him to prepare and make her, her breakfast, and when he placed it in front of her, she was dumb founded, the omelet not only looked amazing, but it tasted amazing as well, and after taking her first bite, the omelet was gone in like three minutes.

"that was incredible Jasper thank you. Where'd you learn to cook like that?" Bella asked after she finished, putting her dirty dishes into the kitchen sink, she then followed him into the living room and sat down on the couch. Jasper took a moment to choose a movie and popped it into the dvd player, before he answered her.

"My mother loved to cook, and ever since I was a little boy I absolutely loved to help my mother cook. When I was old enough and tall enough to reach the stove top, I began to cook as well having learnt most of my recipes from my mother, I guess it just kind of stuck with me." Jasper said, he face seemed to light up at the thoughts of his mother continued to enter his mind. She was, other than Bella, one of the most caring, and compassionate people that he knew, he found himself truly happy. Bella was excited that he was opening up to her and talking to her about his past, she didn't quite know exactly what had happened, but she wasn't about to pressure him into anything or talking about something that made him uncomfortable, but at the same time was glad that he was sharing things with her.

Bella's P.O.V.

I didn't push the subject any further since I could see it made him uncomfortable talking about his pat, although seeing as how I'm a very curious person that after a few minutes I couldn't resist but to ask the one question that's been plaguing my mind.

"Um, Jasper, can I ask you something?" my voice came out in a small whisper, I was nervous that he'd get upset or angry, but at the same time I really needed to satisfy my curiosity. He turned his head to look at me, his face held a look of confusion.

"Sure, ask away" he replied.

"What was your life like before you were changed?" I saw him physically flinch at the question, and was instantly overcome with grief.

"I'm sorry, that was an inappropriate question." I quickly replied, ashamed that I had asked him such a personal question right of the bat.

"Bella, what no, it's perfectly fine, I was just surprised that you actually wanted to know, that's all." He said, which in turn surprised me, I didn't think that he would willing want to talk about, but also at the same time I was thrilled at the fact that he was going to tell me.

"I was born Jasper Whitlock in the year 1844 in Houston Texas, I don't really remember much about my father, and any of the remaining memories I have left of him are very veg, my mother was a petite woman, very slender, she had long golden-blond hair that stopped just at her waist, and her eyes, her eyes shined like glorious sapphires, and the held so much emotion and life. She was always cooking or baking either or, and the kitchen would always smell so wonderful it made your mouth water, as I grew old I concluded that she cooked to distract herself, in order to not think about my father on a regular bases. I did whatever I could to look after the place, fixing' whatever needed fixing', or chopping the wood for the fire in the winter, the usual farm life, but that all changed…It was spring of 1861, when my mother became ill, her health declined fast and by the start of summer, she was gone …..I was seventeen when I joined Confederate States Army, and it didn't take me long to advance in the ranks, it seemed I had a knack for killing people. After becoming a major, I was set upon by the vampire Maria, who preceded to change me, that was in 1863, I was only nineteen." He released a breathy chuckle almost like even he still couldn't believe that it had actually happened to him, I felt bad, it seemed he had to grow up fast at such a young age, and then having to lose his mother, and then surround himself by death on almost a daily bases, it seemed too much.

"After the Transformation, I aided Maria with her creation of a newborn army, one that would allow us to claim the feeding grounds of Texas, it seemed almost unlikely to me, but we somehow did it. We successfully conquered the feeding grounds, however over the years of having to constantly feel what my victim's felt made me become tired of all the violence and bloodlust, it made me feel uncomfortable, and eventually I became a nomad. It wasn't until a long while into being with Maria that I realized she was just using me, I first noticed it when one night Maria had overheard Lucy and Nettie, whom she said were whispering about killing her, and taking over command, so she had me destroy them. It was difficult to see it at first since we we're kind of romantically involved, it only lasted a decade or so, but she'd never truly gotten over the death of her first mate, and it got worse over time. I was in command of Maria's newborn army, and since she didn't keep vampires that proved to be useless after their first year, I was also responsible to dispose of them, in which I did feel remorse in doing so, but this one time while in the army, I befriended a newborn by the name of Peter, and I then persuaded Maria to keep him, which she did." The more and more I listened to what had actually happened to Jasper, the more and more I fell in love with him, he truly was a strong and courageous soul to have went through all that and still had the strength to not only make it through but too have lied for over a hundred year's.

"When Peter ran off with Charlotte, a newborn we we're supposed to kill, I let them go, he was my best friend, my only friend, and he was in love, I didn't think twice about my decision, after a few years living as nomads in the northern U.S, Peter and Charlotte came back and told me about how our kind, could coexist with humans in the North, and I left with them. A few years later I left the company of Peter and Charlotte, for I was still depressed since I could feel everything my human victims were feeling while I killed them, I tried to kill less often, but the thirst always grew more and more overwhelming, as it would seem, I was also reeling from my years with Maria, which had almost turned me into a savage." When jasper finished, I was completely blown away, emotion after emotion wiped over me, he went through this pretty much all on his own, yet even with other's that he resided with that he laid claim to by saying they were family, he was still technically alone, none of them could understand, having never been their themselves.

I finally notice I had tear's running down my face, when his hand reach up and cupped my left cheek, I leaned into his cool touch, which became soothing to me, and he used his thumb to brush away my tears. It broke my heart at how much he was truly suffering an not letting anyone help him, even though I knew their probably wasn't much that could be done, but also that there was hope, he deserved to be truly accepted and I decided that I was going to do it myself, I'd be damned if I was about to let anyone treat him with this ungodly behavior, it was time for a wakeup call, and that included not just the Cullen's but me as well. I knew, with all my heart that I was really in love with him, the recognition, and knowledge of this, not only excited me but made me nervous, but in a good way.
