AN: I own nothing, except for Jareb, he's mine.… this is a threesome, if you don't like that then you may want to stop reading… I tried to reply to all of your reviews, but I'm sure I might have missed some, so if I did sorry and thank you :)
This chapter is more of a filler, but I hope you enjoy it. Sorry about the long wait, Jareb was having a hard time talking to me. Be warned many will not like what is in this chapter, you may need a tissue.
Chapter 7
Jareb POV-
If I was scared earlier about being around more vampires, I was now terrified. Edward knew the woman's name, and while he claimed to not be working with her, I just wasn't sure.
Our run back to the house was in silence.
I was being sure to stay close to Jacob when we entered the house, which was now dead silent. But I knew it wasn't empty, even before following Edward into the living room, where six vampires were sitting and had their eyes locked on us, on me.
"Jareb, this is my family. Carlisle and Esme are our parents; next to them in the chair are Rose and her mate Emmett. The pixies name is Alice and the man next to her is her mate Jasper." Jasper was closest to us and when I locked eyes with him I couldn't help backing up. He had an obvious scar on his left cheek, well obvious to other vampires.
The scar matched my own, and I could tell that this was no regular man. This Jasper was a fighter, unlike me, he was trained to fight, and this must be the brother Edward talked about, the one that knew Maria.
"Everyone I would like for you to meet Jareb, a new member of our family." A small smile formed on my face as Edward says that, Yeah so he didn't call me a mate, but he did include me as part of his family. That's something.
"Um... Hi, nice to meet all of you." I say, hoping I don't sound like a total fool.
"It's so nice to meet you Jareb." The pixy Alice girl says as she flings herself towards me. I could almost feel the tension in the air as the young blonde glared at me, apparently not liking me being close to his mate.
"Jasper calm down. He has stuff he needs to share with us." Edward almost demands before adding. "Maria changed him."
Even with Jacob and Edward so close to me I can't suppress the shiver of fear that ran down my spine.
"What? What do you know?" Jasper demanded as he stands, practically towering over me. "Did She send you here?" He's yelling and the atmosphere in the room was now swirling.
"Jasper you're projecting." Edward says before turning his attention to me. "Please Jareb, will you tell us your story?"
I was starting to doubt if I even should. Jacob doesn't even know everything and I wasn't sure how he would react.
"I was 18 when I was changed. Maria had found me after I was kicked out of a boy's home; I was living on the street, just trying to survive. I didn't have a choice when she came for me; she had two others with her, they made me go with them. I don't remember too much but I do remember that she bit me, and then there was pain, three long excruciating days of pain. When I awoke to this new life she was there, telling me that I was a vampire now, she fed me animal blood to keep me weak. She, um…" I started to stumble over my words and only continued when Jacob put his arm around me, followed closely by Edward, whose touch was also calming me. "They were all stronger than me, I couldn't fight them away. They bit me, they liked it when I would scar. She used me as a training tool." I paused, unsure what to say.
"She used you to train her army?" Jasper asked his voice calm and almost soft. My nod confirms it as I look at Edward, who had pulled me towards him while I was talking.
Edward POV-
Quietly I listened to Jareb as he told his story, with his thoughts and memories flowing from him.
"She fed me animal blood to keep me weak. She, um…" I listened intently as he stumbles over his words. That's when his memories grew more gruesome, and I stopped listening to the words he was saying.
Two male vampires held his arms as he lay on his stomach; they were laughing their red eyes darkening with lust. That's when his screams would start as a third pushed into him. The three male vampires would all take their turns with him, and even though we are vampires we can feel pain. The pain that Jareb had been put through was almost unbearable.
When I finally pull out of his memories I pull Jareb closer towards me. I had seen Jaspers memories of the Southern Wars, but they were nothing like the ones that Jareb had running through his head, and a small part of me was screaming at me to protect Jareb, that he was somehow mine and needed the protecting.
The thoughts of my family ranged from sorrow to distrust.
Rose didn't trust Jareb, she hated his scars, and to her he wasn't beautiful. Rosalie's curse was that she was vain, but not just about herself, but about those that surrounded her. She only wanted to be surrounded by beautiful beings.
Jaspers emotions ranged through many different things. He believed the story that Jareb had shared with us, but he hated that it was Maria that changed him. Jasper couldn't help worrying that Maria would come looking for Jareb and find him.
Alice was excited, though she was always excited, she didn't know who she was and had no memories of other family. We were her only family and she loved the thought of there being another member.
Emmett wanted to wrestle with him, though one warning look from me stopped my bonehead of a brother from making his challenge. Jareb had just told us he wasn't taught to fight, I wasn't about to let my brother scare him more.
Carlisle was worried about the emotional scars and wondered if it was possible for Jareb to fully heal from what he had gone through. Vampires don't change much, and he was worried that Jareb would never feel perfectly safe with any vampires.
Esme being the mother that she is wanted so much to hold Jareb, he had never had a family and she wanted to let him know that he now had a family. Though she was worried about Jareb, some of her fears were also for me. She was worried about me; though Carlisle and Esme tried to hide it they had always favored me. I was their first and oldest and before meeting Jacob I had spent many years alone.
Lastly Jacobs's thoughts, he wasn't thinking about Jareb, since he had already heard the story. No, Jacobs's thoughts were centered on me. While he could see I was coming to terms with Jareb, he wasn't sure what I would do, and I was saying nothing so far to ease his worry. He was sorry, I knew that. But there was no way I would let him off so easy.
I decided to go back home with them, knowing I couldn't fool myself any longer. It was difficult to be apart from Jacob, now with Jareb, I knew I needed to be there. But that didn't mean Jacob and I would pick up where we left off, no Jacob had a lot more groveling to do.
AN: Thanks for reading… I'm not too sure how much I liked this chapter so please tell me what you thought. Also let me know what you think Jacob will/should do…
