AN: Ok, just five reviews this time….

A week has pasted since Maria started creating her newborns. This past week had been harder. I have been trying not to hunt, but the burn is getting bad now. Killing a human seems so wrong. Alice's happiness may be worth it. Although she didn't agree. Her words repeated in my head. "You must not know me then." She had said. I had gone over that conversation millions of times now, and I still came back to one thing. Maybe I was wrong.

"Jasper!" Maria barked behind me. "Go check on the newborns." I left the relative peace of the room I shared with Maria. Not like we slept or anything. We just had a couch, a TV, and a few other things the newborns weren't given.

I entered the room where the newborns stayed during the day. We had 13 now. By tomorrow we hoped four more would wake up.

"How is it in here?" I asked. A relatively clam newborn named Zac spoke up.

"Fine. We almost had a fight, but I ended it before it started." He was trying to get on my good side.

"When did I give you that job. If they can't restrain themselves then they can rip each other to shreds. It gives you a reason not to fight."

"We're sorry." Suzanne spoke up as she sat down her book and threw her long brown hair over her sholder. She was a natural leader, who would hopefully help me later when our numbers were higher. She rarely started fights and had led a hunt two days ago that didn't end in disaster.

Her sister, Sarah, was a problem. She was her sister's opposite and Maria's favorite, mostly because of her gift. She had a gift for changing humans. When she went at a human she could clear her mind enough to stop the intake of blood and therefore create a unplanned for newborn. It wasn't like she had shed the newborn bloodlust. It was more like her body just rejected the blood when a chance to change a young victim was near.

Sarah's first victim was Hannah. She was tiny and only 14 years old with long black hair. She was changed, but not doing to well. She was sickly and weak. I knew she wouldn't make it through a fight and was trying to make Maria leave her at home. I crossed the room to crouch in front of Hannah.

"How are you today?" I asked her quietly.

"They tried to eat me." She said eyeing Sarah and one of her cronies named Mark.

"I'm sure they wouldn't eat you." I said with a smile.

"Zanne and Zac pulled them off. They bit me." She said. She small girl was curled up in a ball on the floor with her head down. Waves of fear rolled off her. I sent her calming waves.

"I'm sure they did. Where did they bite you?" I asked. She showed me a hole on her T-shirt right above her collarbone. The bite wasn't deep.

"It's not too bad." I said.

"I'm the only one here with bites."

"Not really. All older fighters have bites. Maria has some. So do I." I motioned to my neck. I was wearing long sleeves to cover my arms so the newborns didn't fear me. I was trying to make this girl think bites were normal and okay when I, myself was ashamed of them. Hannah kept her head down.

"Well. Try to keep out of their way." I though I heard her mutter a "What do you think I'm doing" but I was already halfway out of the room.

I returned to Maria. As usual she was laying on the couch watching the news. A muffled scream could be heard above us.

"You have to leave Hannah out of the fight." I said.

"Your right." she said causally.

"Good." I expected this to be a hard fight.

"She would be much more useful if we practiced on her."

"WHAT!" I screamed.

"You know you are getting attached because she is the size of your lovely wife." Maria fixed her coal black eyes on me.

"Just leave Alice out of this, Maria. I feel for the girl because one of your newborns changed her when she is still a child."

"Sarah has a talent. Unlike any of the other worthless newborns." I then felt the amusement coming off Maria.

"You want her to die for sport." I scoffed, much calmer then before. "That's sick."

"It's life here Jasper. Or have you gone soft?" Her eyes narrowed.

"I never go soft." I growled.

"Then you have no problem with killing the girl?" Maria said with a sick smile. She knew she had me cornered.

AN: OMGz! Will Jasper kill the Hannah? What will happen to Suzanne and Sarah? 5 reviews gets you the answer….
