Enjoy! Sorry For The Wait!
Chapter 7- To Find the Past Can be a hard thing.
I walked down the stairs my long wet hair hitting the small of my back, I yanked down the top the Charlotte let out borrow. It was off the shoulders and was a solid black with metallic paint splatters, and A piar of shorts. I felt bare and so not me, My legs where pale I felt awkward walking onto a room with some good lookin vamps.
I bucked it up and walked in as I smiled at Charlotte who nodded her head "Nice fit"She said I nodded "Yup..did you get the stains out of the dress?"I asked leaned against the counter, She smiled and nodded "Yup...The southern Coven is coming over in 30 minutes, They are bringing your things"She said I nodded it felt weird to hear there covens name it was like they should be feared or somthin.
"How do you know them?"asked Peter who was standing in the door, I jumped as I looked behind me I shruged "My mother before she died came here everyyear, And I would spend time with them...I guess"I said Peter frowned "You guess?"He asked I sighed "I don't really remember much of my childhood here"I said as I walked away not wanting to explain why I pushed everything away.
I was not ready to be treated like a pathetic child, Just because I saw my parents death. "Whats wrong darlin'?"Asked Jasper as I sat down on the couch he was relaxing against reading a book that looked like it was old."Nerves"I said I leaned into him, "Whatcha reading?"I asked as he had a smile on his face, His hair was in messy wet curls making him look stronger in a way.
My heart fluttered "Just some old war story"He said as he closed the book and thrown it into the other couch, It landed with a thump. I looked away a blush was finding its way onto my face "You are adorable"said Jasper as he touched my cheek forcing me head to turn back to him.
I was lost for words, All I could do was stare into those deep intense golden eyes, Jasper was staring at me with such intestinty it made me shiver. I leaned closer craving my lips on his, Then like a clap of thunder. The Southern Coven was here, "Merde(Shit)"I cussed as I pulled away standing up and forcing a smile as Remy busted through the corner and swept me into his arms "Oh Bebette!"He said as he twirled me around.
I let out a giggle as he put me down "Nice to see you Remy."I said as Nalla walked into the room, I smiled a warm feeling spred through me "Hey"I said she nodded her face set in a frown "We all have decided to have you finished the story."Said Charlotte as she moved gracefully around everyone. I nodded, I looked over at Jasper who was projecting confusion.
I walked over him and sat down resting my hand on his knee "Jasper"I said he snapped out of it, He smiled "Sorry I was projecting...right?"He asked I nodded he sighed. Everyone found a spot around me, I felt like the teacher who had a bunch of students around her waiting on a good story. I shifted nervousely gosh...I was so lost for words, Jasper laid a hand on my knee just like I did to him only 3 hours ago and I felt the words start to flow like water through a cloth.
"I would think that they filled everyone in?"I asked Nalla nodded "Your Jasper told us"She said I blushed and looked at him, He was blank did I do somthing wrong? I asked myself he didn't even react to her! I nodded and started the story again "After the mutt and Alice argued over what bella was going to to I told them that she had already made up her mind, Of course Alice had to put in her two cents but after Bella told us she was leaving."I said I rolled my eyes at the memory of Alice.
I didn't know why I disliked Alice more than before maybe it was because she hurt Jasper.." So I told her I would cover her and take a trip to New Orleans I...don't know why...I only knew I wanted to check up on Jasper"I said I could feel the gazes of all 8 vampires.I felt a wave of calm over me and I took my hand off of Jaspers knee and placed it on his hand that was on my knee.
I smiled "And then when they left I left leaving Charlie a message, When I got to New Orleans a walked around than I ran into Lovely Remy here and John."I said John raised and eyebrow "Lovely remy? and just John?"He said I sighed..."Yupp"I said.
John rolled his eyes and whispered a figure that I could hear, I still had a smile as I went on "After he droped me like a hot poker, He took me to Nalla"I said pointing at Remy, John let out a laugh "He was sure bebette was gunna put de gree gree on him"He said I smiled I loved Johns accent it was a mix between Southern and Cajun.
I shrugged "I don't know why"I said I could feel the air in the room get thick and I could sense the calm before the storm, Peter looked at Nalla with one of his tell all or else looks "We need to know why."He said I frowned why was I this big thing with these vamps?Nalla nodded "Yes I will tell ya'll"She said as she looked at me.
She raised her arm up and pointed at me "She is Silva Woodbanes great grand-daughter"She said I frowned I never heard of her "Who is that?"I asked Nalla looked a little taken back but said nothing "She, Silva was an powerful human, She came to me when I was becomin da leader of my coven."She said I nodded I felt to urge to know my great grandmother even if she was hundreds of years old.
"We heard of her..."said Charlotte I could see that it was apart of a past that was long ago, Somthing about all three of thems past was not nice "Ya I suppose Maria would have talked about her,Your grandmother was young and dangerous she was from an old witch Coven dat had died away years past."She said I kept a firm grasp on Jaspers hand.
"I have de gift dat every Newborn I changed after 3 days de where controlled as an 100 year old vampire, My daughter Scarlet was first."She said as she motioned to scarlet who nodded "I was changed when...I was dieing of de yellow fever epidemic in New Orleans in 1876." She said I watched as the girl who was so cold look so vulnerable at the moment. "I had watched her as she grew up and saved her many times but da yellow fever was somthin I couldn't protect her from."Said Nalla.
"My birth name tis Cora Ellis, I am 134 years old and not an day over 21."She added I frowned why did she feel compelled to changer her name? " I..."I was about to say I am sorry but I stoped myself...when my mother died and father I hated when people would tell me sorry..Sorry for what? did they murder them?
Scarlet smiled "Sorry for acten dat way to you, You just changed from dat cute little girl. You truly are like Silva.."She said I smiled I think I might like Scarlet. "Oh shush, Bebette needs to know mois storry to!"Said Remy hushing scarlet who was glaring at him "What story?"She said as she slapped him.I smiled "Lets your mate speak, Scarlet"Nalla said.
What a family they have, They are nothing like the Cullens, Scarlet was the one who reminded me of Rosalie with her long Black hair that shot off diffrent shades and her dark crimson eyes making you want to run. All of them where so...like me it was crazy."Fine."Said Scarlet as she motioned for Remy to speak, I smiled I wanted that close intimate bond with someone, "Tank you Scarlet, Now I was changed eh...1959 I was 19 year old, My Pere (Father) and Moi (me) worked on de Bayou"He said smiling he face was peaceful looking at he seemed to be stuck in a time long ago.
Remy was nothen like any vampire I had met, He was light and harsh at the same time, Remy had a stubble of hair I guess he never shaven off, His hair was a chestnut brown was held back with a string."Some Vampire bit me before my Pere could run he was her snack, She left me and I changed I was alone for many years, in 1861 I met dis women."He said while pointing at Scarlet who smiled "Yes you where a coo-yon (Fool)When I met yah, And you still are!"She said I could see and practically feel the love bouncing off of her.
"When I was still human, I would visit Remy who would always be on de Bayou."Said Scarlet I could practically feel the long love those to had and it made me want it more and more. "Thats nice"I said everyone looked and me and Scarlet nodded "Bebette you are right"Said John who took Sarah's hand, "My turn!"Said Sarah as she smiled and brung the attention to her.
"I was changed in 1930, I lived through de 1920 and when de 1930s hit...My Mamere (Grand-mother) was so ill that I worked in de fields, I was dieing of dust Pneumonia and Nalla changed me, My full name is Sarah Hall and I was 20 something!"She said, I could see her being a flapper with her short brown hair and the whole look at me attude she had, I smiled and Jasper laughed "You where a flapper?"He asked I looked at him his amusement was writen all over that cowboy face of his, My heart jumped as I watched him smiled and his eyes found mine.
"Matta of fact, yes I was"She said as if she was proud of her heritage, I nodded "I think that sounds fun"I said Jasper raised and eyebrow "Fun?"He asked I nodded "Call me modern but Flappers where the start of a womens independence"I said Jasper shook his head "I lived thought that time and it was...funky"He said I smirked "I would have loved to see it for myself"I said as I remember actually keeping awake for history when we where learning about 1020 and the Flappers.
"Bebette, You are nutts"Said John earning him a slap across his arms by Sarah who glared at him "Says the guy who got changed at woodstock"she said I laughed as I image of the clean cut John wear bell bottoms and those round sunglasses. "Woodstock?"I asked John nodded "I was changed 1969 de day of Woodstock, I was 24 and in love with a girl who jumped around with short skirts and talked about love and had dis accent from de bayou area."He said while looking at Sarah who was blushing "I didn' jump!"She said.
I smiled all of them found love like Bella did..."I was changed dat day by Nalla, I was an southern boy but I didn't beleve in de war unlike my father who was bound in determined for me to fight in dat war, To be another Harper killed in dat war."John said I nodded John was the opposite of Remy he had medium dark blonde hair that fell around him in a shaggy wavy, his face was welcoming but his eyes would change your mind, John Harper...his name fit him I thought.
"Thats stupid"I said quickly as I blushed "Yes it was"He said agreeing with me, Jasper, Charlotte, and Peter where all looking at Nalla who sat watching her coven. I knew what they wanted "Nalla what about you?"I asked my voice was soft but it got her attention "Yes Bebette I tink dat is a good way to fill in de gaps."She said I nodded I watched as her face softened the lines from her human face was still on her face.
She sighed "I was born 1654, in an small town in france I was 12 when my Parren(God-father) died leaving me alone, I was 19 when de french started to send women who where homeless to Qubec,Canada."She said as she shook her head "I was pulled along and married to a man who was an Capon(Coward)"She added I nodded I would have hated to have to marry someone just because I needed money.
"My name was Antoine Martin at de time of my death, I was changed by a man who called himself de Dracula of france I was 30 years old."She said I listened my hand gripped Jaspers like a life line "When I went to New Orleans 12 years later and saw a little girl with long black hair that to our eyes was like a kaleidoscope of colors with the darkness of black, I protected Scarlet from everything and when she got sick I had to try."Nalla said
I watched as her face curl in a very small wince, I had talk to Carlisle about the act of changing someone and I had found great respect for him and now I held great respect for Nalla "It was hard but I did it and now I have a wonderful family."She said she had a smile on her face that had a couple of small laugh lines that was barley visible and kinda weird thats she had them.
"Scarlet and Me joined a coven in the New orleans area it was de time of de Southern wars, The Voultri was letting it play out to a point and our leader moved farther into de Bayou...In the house we lived in had a escape door dat was bolted shut we all couldn't open it and we soon found out that we move in on Sliva after she came out and killed one of our men who tried to grabb her. "She said.
I felt something curling in my stomach was I going to be that uncaring? "How?"Asked Peter He sat on the chair with Charlotte pulled into his lap, Remy let out a unnecessary yawn and let it be a pass to put head in his mates lap "Woodbanes are known to be able to manipulate emotions and make you feel anything they want dat is why they all died except for Sliva who was de only one left."Nalla said Peter growled and I shot him a look "That doesn't explain how a human can be killin a Vampire"He said giving me a look back.
Jasper gave a light growl and Peter looked away from sizing me up like a piece of meat, I couldn't blame Peter I didn't even know how someone could kill using emotions? " I said she could make you feel anythin, She would implant de feeling of burning alive and de vampire would combust into a purple flame."She said her voice was like a distant memory to the three that snapped there looks to me.
The room went cold very cold, I looked down and moved out of Jaspers grip as I stood up and walked out the door. I needed some air and some quiet time I couldn't help but be afraid of what they would do. Should I have stayed in Forks? I shook my head I knew that I did right by coming here to Jasper but I never expected to be faced with this.
I knew I had a gift to know things but...I fiddled with the necklace as I walked past the dirt pile that me and Jasper played in it brought a smile to my face. I felt my phone vibrate on my thigh as I yanked it from my pocket "Hello?"I asked as I continued to walk away from the house "Violet?"Asked a person who I thought was Emmet "Yes who is this?"I asked The person on the other end shuffled around "This is Emmet have you heard from Alice?And Where are you?"He asked I could tell this hasn't been good for him he sounded less like the usual bear than normal.
"Yes...The last I heard was Bella and her made it to Italy but Bella got caught by them and Alice was going to help, And I am in New Orleans "I said as I sat down in a large field a good distance from the house and picked a daisy from the ground "Isn't Jasper in New Orleans?"He asked I could hear someone else with him "Yes he is...He is in the house right now"I said as I heard the buzzing again...Damn vampire talking.
"We are in Forks again"Said a female voice that was harsh "Hello to you Rosalie"I said as I twirled the daisy in my fingers "Why are you will him?"Emmet asked I sighed "Cause I needed to know he was alright since your sister crushed him when he needed her the most"I hissed out as I stood up and picked off the dirt from my legs.
I heard the buzzing again then "Come back New Orleans is not safe, Violet"Said Emmet I knew he was trying to be the protective brother but I could see Jasper saying something to Remy outside and humanly walking to be "Sorry have to go Major Empath is pissy I walked away from family chat time"I said quickly as I closed the phone as Jasper got to me.
We stood there I was looking around avoiding his gaze that seemed to burn through me "Why are you upset?"He asked I didn't answer what was I suppose to say that I felt like I should be walking around with a huge mole on my nose and a crackle voice like the witch from Snow White. Jasper sighed and ran his hand through his curly hair he seemed to be doing that a lot, "Tell me Violet"He said as his cold hand pulled my face to look at him.
He spread calm towards me and my body soaked it up greedily, I couldn't say anything but I pushed my feeling towards him the sadness, the fear, the guilt, and the love that seemed to slip through. Jaspers eyes went wide then his lips twitched "No Darlin' You are not like Silva, I was a vampire when your ancestor spread fear through all of the vampires...You are a beautiful feisty women who has a gift that could take you over"He stared into my eyes his eyes darkened slightly and I couldn't help but feel my heart give my body a tugg.
I took a step closer to him and his hand fell from my cheek and too my waist "I am scared that you, Char, and Peter will be afraid of me"I said quietly, I felt like a ticking time bomb that I might explode, Jasper let out a growl and pulled me into his arms I felt the warmth of love that wasn't met to slip out from Jasper.I sighed and laid my head on his chest "So...I am Beautiful?"I asked Jasper looked down at me that goofy smirk on his face "Of course Darlin'"He said I smiled and picked my head up, I placed my hand on his cold cheek and with a finger traced his jaw line "Why does Peter call you Major?"I asked
I felt the fear coming off of him as he took a step away from me, "Jasper...You don't have to tell me."I said he shook his head his hair catching the poor light in the sky just so...Gods he was beautiful."No I will...Just later tonight please, Darlin'"He said my heart lurch every time he darlin with that sexy accent that made me weak in the knees anyways. "Alright.."I said He looked kinda troubled and I closed the gap in-between us again as I wrapped my arms around his neck "I will still like you Jasper.."I said softly as I stepped away and walked towards the house leaving Jasper in his own memories...
