Chapter Six: The Redheaded Stalker

I woke up in the Cullen's living room at seven o'clock in the morning. Seven o'clock in the morning! "Oh my god!" I screamed flipped myself off the sofa with a thud. Bella sat up looking startled. Alice barged into the living room and said, "Bella, I called Charlie and told him you are hear. Jasmine I called you parents and told them you were here, too". I let out a sigh of relief and stood up. I looked down to find I was in a pair of pink and fluffy pyjamas. Bella was wearing blue pyjamas. "You two look amazing in those pyjamas!" Alice exclaimed jumping. "Okay, so Jasmine you can shower in my room. Bella, you can shower in Edward's bathroom" she said thrusting an unfamiliar outfit into my arms.

I drove to school with Edward, Bella, Alice and Jasper in Edward's silver Volvo. We arrived at the school to be gawked by several boys. Mike Newton came towards me grinning. "Ugh, someone get rid of him!" I moaned. Bella laughed and said "Mike moved on to you. Good luck, he doesn't give up, easy". Mike came over and said, "So babe, you wanna see a movie and then put on a move or two?" Just before I could respond Matt wrapped an arm around me, causing me to feel dizzy and weak in the knees. My heart raced and my face was probably crimson from blushing. "Play along!" he hissed in my ear. I giggled without warning. "So you're the one that has been flirting with my girlfriend. You know I don't like it when over hormonal guys flirt with her" he said sounding angry. Mike gulped and stuttered, "Y-your g-girlfriend. Sir, did not know. I am so sorry. I'll just leave your girlfriend alone". With that he ran away, tripping over his own feet. Once he was out of earshot Matt lifted his arm off my shoulder. It felt almost wrong to have his arm gone from my shoulder. Edward, Alice, Jasper and Bella burst into laughter. Matt and I joined in on the laughter. I looked Matt in the eyes and said, "thank you so much for chasing the Newt, Mike Newton away". He looked at me with his intense gold eyes and said, "I felt like it was the right thing to do". My heart picked up just a little bit more.

After school, I walked into the woods to get some fresh air. I promised Doug and Clair I would meet them at home. I got a bit far into the woods before I heard the shuffling of someone approaching. I looked up in time to see two pale people coming from somewhere in the woods. They were both as pale as the Cullen's. The female had wild red hair; the other was a male with crazy brown hair. They were cleary vampires, too. Only they have red eyes, not gold. I think that meant they drank human blood. Oh man, I shouldn't have came into the woods on me own. "Victoria, this one has a very powerful gift of mind control" the boy with crazy brown hair said excitedly. I gulped how he knew that. The female, Victoria, walked forward and said, "oh, yes, such a gift. You would be a nice edition to my group of little friends". She traced her finger along my jaw line and said, "don't worry, this will be the worst pain you will ever feel, but you won't die and the pain will end eventually". I gulped as she lowered her mouth to my neck. Just as I felt her teeth against my neck she was pushed a hundred feet away from me. I caught a quick glimpse at Matt as he threw me over his shoulder and ran at a speed I thought was impossible. I heard Victoria scream "she will be part of my army, if it's the last thing I do!" However as I inhaled Matt's scent and held onto Matt's neck I felt safe.

We arrived at the Cullen manor to find the Cullen's arriving home from school. Matt stopped right in front of Edward's car. He set me down, but the dizziness was intense. My stomach churned from dizziness and fear. I clutched Matt's arm for support. He pulled me to his chest for support and steered me to the steps. He sat down with me practically in his lap. Edward, Bella, Jasper and Alice came over to us, looking honestly freaked. Alice's face went blank and she started murmuring, "oh my god" over and over. Edward's face was a mask of horror, just like Alice's. Jasper walked over to me, I felt unbelievably calm. "He's an empath," Matt murmured rubbing my hair out of my face. But to my surprise, it made me feel a lot more comfortable. I felt my cheeks warm. "What happened to you?" he asked taking grabbing my hand. "Some girl, I think she was a vampire, too. She and a boy t-they, I don't know what they tried to do. I thought she was going to kill me, but she said I wouldn't die" I said quickly. Jasper looked like he paled. Bella looked almost horrified. She stepped forward and said, "did she have red hair?" I nodded and said, "her name was Victoria". All of the Cullen's gasped. Then Matt said something that made them all gasp again. "She wants Jasmine to be part of her army".

"Are you sure?" Jasper asked sounding horrified at the idea. Matt nodded. "I got there about a Milo-second before Victoria could bit Jasmine. She was going to change her right then and there. If I hadn't pushed Victoria off of her, she would be trashing on the forest floor right now. Then she screamed, ' she will be part of my army, if it's the last thing I do!' after us". Bella walked over to me and sat down beside me. "Are you okay?" she asked. I nodded and said, "Yeah, I'm fine". I realized Matt had his arm around my shoulder, but I didn't want him to move. Matt looked at Edward and said, "Let's get the girls inside and get them something to eat". Matt helped me up and guided me into the house. His arm was wrapped around my waist. I leaned my head into his shoulder. Edward and Bella followed, not far behind.

Once in the kitchen Matt and Edward disappeared into the cupboards. After a while Matt disappeared out the door and right away I started missing him. "So you and Matt seemed to be getting close" Bella whispered, knowing Edward could hear her whispering and my thoughts. I grinned stupidly at the sound of his name. "Yeah, he's pretty amazing" I said without my knowledge, almost in a sigh. "So you love him, right?" she asked. Love as in I am totally in love with him, yes. "No" I lied quickly. "Liar!" Edward accused. "Hey, get out of my head! Fine, I love him" I said quietly. "Well, I just happen to know, he was thinking about how much he loves you, too" Edward confessed causing my heart to soar. Now I just needed to figure out what to do about my new redheaded stalker.

Please review, but please be kind. I am also starting a House of Night and Twilight crossover.

Also PirateTink brought up the time line. I have it set that Jasper left 18 years ago, and served the newborn army for only five years. This is an A/U. I need ideas. Help me decided what to do next. Pretty please with Edward on top.
