When I woke up Jasper was gone. I looked around my bed touching my ripped sheets from last night. After a few minutes I decided it was time to do my morning routine. Shower, hair and makeup, and pick out an outfit. Today I decided on a gray t-shirt and dark blue jeans. I threw on a black cardigan and walked downstairs.
I poured myself a bowl of cereal while my father and brother watch the news. Buzz buzz. I got a text from Jasper.
"My family and I are playing baseball today, care to join us?" Baseball? I wasn't good at sports, but baseball I could probably do.
"On one condition. You have to officially meet my brother." I text back. I glanced over at Brandon who was glued to his phone.
"Deal. I'll see you in ten." I got up and walked over to my dad and Brandon.
"Bran, could you go put some clothes on?" I asked.
"What's wrong with my PJ's?" He asked defensively.
"Jasper's coming over. I think it's time you two meet." I say he grinned an evil grin and went to change. When he came back down he was in a blue t-shirt that exposed his muscles, and cargo shorts. I heard Jasper's car pull into our driveway so I went out to meet him. Before I walked out I turned and looked at Brandon. "Please behave, Bran." I say.
"Howdy, ma'am." Jasper says while sliding an arm around my waist kissing my cheek. He looked so cute in his baseball t-shirt and tight pants. I couldn't help but get turned on. "Whoa now, let's calm down." I forget he can read my emotions. Before you know it my brother opens the door for us.
"Come on in you two!" He says. I glare at him while walking with Jasper to the sofa.
"Dad you remember Jasper." I say to my father, he nods and smiles to the best of his ability.
"Jasper, how are you today?" He asks politely.
"Very well, thank you sir. Yourself?" Jasper responds. My father nods back at him. Brandon sits in between Jasper and I putting an arm around each of us.
"So, you two kids sure are cute. Now let's talk about the important stuff. Are you having safe sex?" Brandon asks looking at Jasper.
"Dad." I say trying to get my father's attention
"Brandon, that's enough." He says.
"Alright, alright. Seriously, Jasper. If you ever hurt her in any way shape or form, just know I'll kill you." Brandon says shrugging.
"That won't happen." Jasper says sternly to Brandon. I stood up and walked over to Jasper.
"Well we should be going." I said. Jasper stood up, shook my father's hand and waved to Brandon. I flipped Bran off as I left.
We arrived at the field where we would be playing baseball. Bella was there too, I walked up to her and Esme while Jasper was swinging the bat around with Rosalie.
"Jane! I'm so glad you came. You can help Bella and I be umpires." Esme said hugging me. I loved how maternal Esme was, it reminded me of my mother whom I missed dearly.
I jumped at the sound of brash thunder. "It's time" Alice said. Rosalie was up to bat first, you couldn't see the baseball after Alice threw it, just a blur of white in the air. When Rose hit the ball it made the same noise as the thunder.
"I see why you need the thunder." Bella said to Esme. We watched as Edward ran for the ball. I could see her twist her brown curly hair around her index finger. I nudged her and chuckled. "What? He's hot." She said. Carlisle was up at bat, he hit the ball up in the air, when Emmett and Edward tried catching it their bodies collided, making a similar thunder noise. Carlisle ran a homerun.
"Jasper you're up." Esme says patting him on the shoulder. My attention perked up. He rolled his sleeves up and licked his lips, glancing towards me. I wanted to kiss him so bad. Run my fingers through his hair, take his shirt off.
"Hey!" I hear a voice yell towards me. I look over, it was Edward. "Keep your thoughts to yourself, Jane." He says. I laugh because as Edward's focus was on me Jasper hit a homerun in his direction.
"Stop!" Alice exclaimed. She had a vision. Whatever it was it was bad because Edward ran over and grabbed Bella and me by the arms and pulled us towards the cars. Jasper ran over to us.
"Edward what happened, what did Alice see?" He asked.
"It's too late, they're here." Alice said. Who was here? Just then three vampires came out of the fog in the trees towards us. Jasper put his body in front of me. Edward did the same to Bella.
The vampires were beautiful. One had white blonde hair, with muscles gleaming through his jacket. The other had dark skin and long dreadlocks for hair. The last was a girl, skinny and paler than the rest, with bright red wild hair. They wanted to play with us. The wind blew towards them, drafting my scent right into their noses.
They leapt forward towards us. Emmett shoved the blonde one back while Rosalie stared into the eyes of the redhead. I heard a growl escape from Jasper's lips.
"I can see that the game is over now, we'll leave." The dark one states. Jasper pulled me roughly towards the car. Edward drove with Bella in the front seat while Jasper and I were in the back. Jasper's eyes turned black as he thought about the events that just occurred.
"Where are we going?" Bella asks.
"We have to get out of here, James is a tracker, I read his mind. We just made this the most interesting game of his life."
Bella and I packed overnight bags. I told my father that Alice was taking me on a trip to see my grandparents in Jacksonville. When we arrived at the Cullen's Rosalie was wearing Bella's clothing, Esme was wearing my blue long sleeve shirt and black leggings. Jasper and Alice took Bella and me to Jacksonville. We arrived to the hotel, one bed in the room. I didn't mind sharing with Bella but I can't say I hadn't hoped for some alone time with Jasper. Alice and Bella went to the hotel restaurant while Jasper and I sat on the couch.
"I think it's right time I told you." Jasper said, his southern twang coming out in his voice.
"Tell me what?" I asked brushing a piece of hair behind my ear.
"How I was turned." He said. "Carlisle didn't do it like he did the others." He took my hand in his and looked at me with his beautiful golden eyes. "I was the youngest major in the Texas Calvary in 1863. I used my charm and persuasion to enter the army when I was seventeen. I was on my way to Galveston when I spotted her, Maria." He paused. "She changed me in the cover of night. She was building an army, I trained her newborns, with that I was also in charge of disposing her newborns that weren't strong enough. I thought what we had was love, but I was her puppet. I felt everything they felt. It wasn't until I met Alice at a diner in 1948 I decided to join the Cullen's and become a vegetarian."
I was overwhelmed with the story I had heard. Jealous and livid at the same time. Who was Maria to just hurt Jasper like that? I felt a small kiss on my cheek flooding me with calmness and understanding. He put his hand on my chin and leaned in to kiss me.
"Bella's gone" Alice proclaimed as she ran into the room. Jasper leapt up towards her.
"Where did she go?" Jasper asked.
"I don't know. I was having a vision and couldn't stop her." She said sadly. "The tracker changed course, I don't know what I saw but I drew a room full of mirrors." She said handing Jasper a drawing.
"A ballet studio?" I asked. Alice looked at me.
"Do you know where this is?" She asked.
"Yeah, I remember seeing a picture of Bella when she was little here. Mimi's dance studio. It's here in Jacksonville." I said. Jasper collected and packed our things, we rushed down to the car. Alice called Edward as Jasper drove.
