Chapter 4
Tara's POV
I pulled into Forks High School, realising this was probably a terrible idea, one of their students from 25 years ago suddenly appears unchanged. However, Alice had altered my hair and had reassured me that if anyone was to ask I merely had to say that I was my and Jasper's daughter, simple. In theory anyway. Stepping into reception little layout wise had actually changed.
"Hello." I smiled at the receptionist, "I need to collect Jonathon Black from school, his sister was in an accident this morning and he needs to be with his family right now."
"Have you any identification? Or proof that you are related to him?" The woman demanded. This woman was the kind of person I could not simply smile at and dazzle, she looked annoyed.
"Well, no, not really." I shrugged my shoulders, "I'm a family friend."
"Then you cannot collect him."
"He's 16." I raised my voice slightly, "I'm not going to run off with him."
"You barely look older than 18 yourself, I'm afraid I cannot help."
"I'm 21."
"How convenient." I really didn't want to have to use mind control.
"What's the problem?" a voice asked as Angela Webber and a man stepped into view.
"This young girl wants to collect a young boy from school to take him to his family." The woman explained, "Jonathon Black apparently something has happened to his twin Jasmine."
"Tara Jones?" Angela questioned, it appeared she had recognised me.
"Not quite. Her daughter, Laura." I smiled at Angela. "You knew my mother, Tara and my father, Jasper?
"Of course." She clapped her hands together delighted, "They married, oh how fabulous."
"Yes." I grinned.
"You look so like Tara, but you have your father's eyes and complexion."
"Yes."
"So you know this young lady then?" The man asked.
"Her mother and father briefly attended this school." Angela explained, I smiled at the man. "This is David Woodstone, the Principal."
"Delighted to meet you." I smiled at him and hoped he wouldn't want to shake hands.
"Do you have ID?" David asked.
"Yes." I produced the appropriate reserve driver's license, one from our collection at home. "You can ring Bella and ask her. If you like?"
"Well Sophie." David clapped his hands at the receptionist, "Ring his mother, check that Laura can take Jonathon out of school. Let's not delay the young woman any longer. Would you like to wait in my office?" I was thankful that this man was being so helpful but I almost certainly did not want to step into his office.
"No, I'm fine out here." It was several minutes after Bella was contacted until I actually got to see Jonathon, he was in the Cafeteria.
Tara's POV
"Call me Laura." I hissed as I pulled him into a welcoming hug.
"Woah. Who's this Jonathon?" one of his friends.
"I'm kind of his Aunt." I explained grabbing Jonathon by the arm, "I need to get you home."
"His Aunt." One of the boys repeated.
"Yes and my name is Laura." I grinned and instantly regretted that decision as I swear I saw one of the boys visibly dribble, "The cars out front." I explained to Jonatho
"Did you come in the Porsche? Jonathon asked extremely loudly.
"No." I glared at him.
"You have a Porsche?" another boy asked.
"I'm in the Volvo."
"They're got a Vanquish too." Jonathon boasted.
"Jonathon, come on." I grabbed his arm and began to drag him away.
"You should collect me from school more often." He grinned as he realised everyone was staring.
"Get in the car." He jumped inside as I drove him back to the Quiluette border, I was unable to drive inside but Bella was waiting. I watched as he climbed into their car, not knowing when I'd next see him.
Tara's POV
"You're a vampire." Jonathon shouted as he climbed out of his truck, he ran towards me, his face red with anger. Jasper protectively stood in front of me.
"Honestly, I imagine that Jacob informed you." I pushed Jasper aside, Jonathon would hardly hurt me, "I won't deny it."
"Yes he did. Vampire." He repeated.
"Yet here you stand."
"Do you eat humans?" he asked bluntly.
"No, which is fortunate since you're standing right there." Emmett answered chuckling away.
"Animals?"
"Bear's my favourite." Emmett answered. Jonathon took a step backwards.
"How did you know my mother?" He was changing the subject, perhaps Emmett had intimidated him a little.
"I met her at school. I'd been a vampire for 10 years. She was the first human after Bella that I truly got to know. She left me with you and Jasmine. However, there are others of our kind that don't think a coven of 10 vampires should really care for 2 human babies. So I gave you to Bella."
"My mother died?" Jonathon asked.
"Yes."
"My father."
"Is still alive. However, unfortunately, he is not aware of your existence."
"Bite me." Jonathon ordered holding out his hand. "Make me one of you. I don't want to die." Emmett began to laugh.
"Emmett inside!" Esme ordered taking everyone else away apart from me and Jasper.
"Jonathon come and sit down." I indicated towards the bench at the edge of the garden. "Maybe Carlisle should explain this?" That question was directed more at Jasper than Jonathon
"No." I expected Jasper to intervene but it was Jonathon, "I want to hear it from you. Don't go getting someone else to do the awkward stuff." He had no idea at that point who Carlisle was.
"None of us chose this lifestyle. We were either bit against our will or because we were dying." I instantly began to reveal.
"I don't want to get old and die. Jasmine is dead. If you had bit her on our birthday, she'd still be here." Jonathon admitted.
"Jasmine already knew what we were. She expressed no desire to become one of us." I revealed.
"She had no idea."
"Her thoughts revealed she did."
"Her thoughts. How would you know what she was thinking?"
"I heard them."
"Wait." he frowned, "You read minds. Vampires can read minds."
"Not all vampires, no. I get a rough outline of thoughts and can manipulate them, Edward can completely read minds. Jasper can sense and manipulate emotions and Alice can see the future."
"That's insane."
"It is a little isn't it." Jasper said, Jonathon looked shocked to find Jasper sitting there.
"So you know I'm angry?" Jonathon spoke to Jasper.
"I know that you're angry, confused, mourning the loss of your sister, lost, feeling helpless, I also know that you love your family, including myself and Tara, regardless of how much you yell at us."
"I'm feeling all that?" Jonathon asked raising his eyebrows.
" Now you're shocked." Jasper smiled.
"You reckon. This is like a freak show."
"Try and refrain from calling us freaks, please." I answered.
"You think. Can I meet everyone?" Jonathon asked.
"Of course." And I led him to the house.
