Chapter 6
Jasper's POV
Edward and I returned home talking cheerfully , in a way we knew that we would be getting rid of the obstacle that kept us from being together ,
I sniffed the air and was surprised to find not only Aro's scent but Marcus' and Jane's as well
I found the two brothers sitting on the couch facing Esme and Carlisle while Jane stood behind the couch with a sour look on her face .as I knew for fact that she hated flying and to return that quickly she must be furious .
"I have a way to cheer her up " I thought smugly . I leant and whispered in her ear "It worked , you owe me big time ."
Everyone looked at us confused . even Jane so I sent her a slightest bit of pain . Her eyes widened as realization dawned on her and I had to physically restrain her from bouncing up and down or sticking her tongue to Bella who was sitting in the far corner of the room .
"God we are so evil ,planning to torture the poor human girl ." I sent Edward along with our conversation on the plane
Bella was desperately trying to catch Edward's eye all evening but he was ignoring her then he exploded "What do you want ? didn't you get the news ? We are over O-V-E-R " I tried to defuse the fight so I directed Edward's attention to Aro who was speaking to me
"Well Jasper , I was surprised when you didn't return yesterday ." started Aro
"I had some business to attend to , personal business ." I replied vaguely .
"Edward ,Did he know about us ?"
Edward answered negatively to my utter surprise I mean I never really wanted him to see my deepest secrets but I've never intentionally shielded them
"What business would you have with the Cullens ?" he asked slyly looked at Edward's and my entwined hands
"I knew Edward before we were changed " I paused a second then added "we were lovers ."
Bella uttered a noise of disgust at that "Anything you want to say Bella ?" said Alice loudly from her position beside Jane to Bella who blushed hideously, She was really hurt to discover that her best friend was using her and her brother all that time .
"So you didn't know about Jasper and I ? Our memories were as clear as the day ." Edward told Aro who was feeling uncharacteristically nervous
"I don't know Edward .I've seen your memories but I saw nothing ."
"Well you have seen mine too numerous times .'' I commented
"Jasper , Aro was talking to me , in my mind ." replied Edward wearily
"Edward , I heard him loud and clear , he said that he have seen your memories and saw nothing " I said laughing nervously
"Well Jasper I said that , to Edward ."
Then the thoughts came crashing to me
"OMG , I didn't see it coming .'' Alice
"I'm so happy for Edward for finding his soul mate" Esme
"I've never seen any thing like that before "Carlisle
"I've never seen such a strong bond " Marcus
"A new power , interesting ."Aro
"Jazz baby , Focus on my voice ." Edward
"Stop it , stop it ." I shouted standing up "Control your thoughts . You are giving me a fucking headache "My eyes were pitch black and I was expecting sparks to fly all around me .
Suddenly Edward moaned in pain "Edward are you ok ?" I rushed to him
"No pain , anger ,confusion . I can feel them all , in my head , in my heart ." he said softly leaning against my chest
"Send these emotions to me , I'm used to them ."I said encouraging him ."They won't hurt me Edward "
"So let me get this straight ."said Jane who was strangely silent in both thoughts and emotions "Jasper now is an empath who can read minds and Edward is a mind reader that can feel emotions and they both kept their memories from Master Aro , Correct?"
"Well , that pretty much sums it up ."Carlisle answered as both Edward and I were shocked to reply
"I might have an explanation ." we all turned to look at Marcus, he rarely spoke "Your bond is so strong , almost unbreakable ad before you arrived Carlisle said that you could sense one another's pain . It's not unheard of ; the power sharing ." he stopped and inhaled deeply "I've had that type of bond with my mate before she died ."
"And for your memories ." started Aro ."Generally memories are thoughts and emotions and you could control both . So you unintentionally hid your thoughts from me ."He was so happy to know that it wasn't his power fading or something
"Welcome to my world, love ."
"Shut the hell up Edward . I can't hear my own thoughts ."
"And I can't feel my own emotions ."he said with a smug look on his face
"Smartass "
"You love it.''
"I'm getting used to that mind reading crap . ''
"Think of all the possibilities of what he can do ." he whispered sensuously
I decided to tease him a little "Cheat in exams ?"
Edward punched my shoulder which brought be back to the conversation going around in the room , Aro was talking to Bella about her desire to return to Italy with him and he readily agreed .
Jane looked as if she might vomit.
Bella stirred the conversation in my direction again when she asked Aro oh so sweetly "Would Jasper come to Italy with us ?"
"NO , I wouldn't Bella . Rest assured ." I smiled showing my teeth
"So there is no chance that you may change you mind ?" Aro tried again . He was very disappointed that I wouldn't return especially with my new power.
"In the very very far future ." Edward replied for me apparently reading Aro's thoughts .
"Wait , Can I come with you ?" asked Alice suddenly .Carlisle and Esme looked surprised but didn't object . I admired how they respected their children's wishes .
"That would be a honor , young Alice but what changed your mind ?''
"I was thinking lately about going to Fashion School in Italy and I thought I could stay in the castle ."she replied shyly , looking between Aro and Marcus with an angelic smile .
"That wouldn't be a problem ."
"What was that all about ? I demanded
"Alice has found her mate ."
"Who ?"I asked curiously
"Jane."
"WHAT ?'' I said loudly " I meant congratulation "I told Alice who had moved closer to me until she was sitting between be and Edward .
"Keep her in line ." I whispered in her ear softly .
She nodded smiling happily before rushing to her room to pack , Jane running after the enthusiastic vampire .
The visit quickly came to an end but not before Edward called Rose, Emmett and Bree to say good bye to Alice .
Edward and I returned to his room , I closed the door and leant against it "Our future starts now . " I thought
