Chapter 8:- Hunting Conversations
Disclaimer:- I don't own Twilight. All rights to Stephanie Meyer.
A/N: Sorry I haven't updated in a while. I've been busy finishing off my other story, 'Fighting For Everything We're Worth.' I have also started to write the sequel.. Also hospital appointments... Thanks to Samantha for beta-ing this for me.
Jasper's POV
I love Bella. The date last night was absolutely amazing. When we kissed, it was perfect. I could feel the love, lust, and happiness floating off Bella towards me. It was magical.
At the moment, she's with Charlie. I love the fact that she can still see her dad. She has had amazing control over humans, even when she was a newborn she never snapped. Not like me. I will never forgive myself for what happened at Bella's 18th birthday. I know that Bella has forgiven me, but it will always be my fault that Bella spent those months alone when Edward left her for her own protection.
It's funny, Bella and I were never close when she was human but now she's more 'durable' we're the best of friends. I can't help but think that if I was her friend when she was human that we would have been together sooner. But there's no point in dwelling in the past, is there?
I know that Bella and I have started dating, but I wonder if we would become man and wife. I love her so much already. More then I loved Alice. I know for a fact she loves me more then she loved Edward. I can feel her emotions after all.
It's 8 PM now, Bella's been out all day. I miss her, is it so strange to miss someone so much after only been dating for a short time? Or is it because of the amount I love her that I miss her so? I wonder if she'll be home soon.
Renesmee knocked on my bedroom door.
"Come in Nessie," I said to her.
She walked in.
"Hey Uncle J," she said. She started calling me J when she was 2 years old. She's always been a bright, amazing girl. This family is so lucky to have her. She brightens up the room as well as our lives. She's just like Bella, the glue that holds this family together.
"Hey, Ness. What's up?"
"I was wondering if I could talk to you about Mom?" She said.
"Sure, what?" I said.
"You love her don't you?" She asked.
"Yeah I do," I said.
"I'm glad." That statement threw me. She must have seen the look on my face.
"I'm glad you love her, because she loves you too, and I think my mom deserves to be loved, right? She needs someone to love her for eternity. To be honest, if it wasn't daddy that loves her, I'm glad it's you. I'm just sorry that it had to be this way and not a different way," she said.
"What do you mean Ness?"
"Well Mom deserves to be loved. I don't want her to be lonely for eternity so I'm glad she has you. And I'm sorry that Auntie Alice and Daddy cheated on you and Mommy before you got together." She said.
"Oh, thank you Ness."
"It's okay uncle J. But I don't want you to hurt mom in any way. I'll get Uncle Em to hurt you if you do." She said, with a menacing glare.
I can tell she's not joking, I wouldn't dream of hurting Bella. She's been hurt so much already. I don't want to add to that hurt in any way.
"Ness, look, I would never hurt your mom intentionally okay? If I do hurt her you have my permission to get Uncle Em to hurt me okay?"
"Ok, thanks Uncle J. Love you." She said, hugged me and left the room.
I heard Bella's car coming up the driveway.
I ran downstairs at vampire speed and waited outside for her.
When she stopped the car she jumped out and ran towards me. When she reached me she jumped up and wrapped her legs around my waist and hugged me close, kissing on my neck.
"I missed you," she whispered in my ear.
"Missed you too, Darlin'." I said to her quietly.
I kissed her forehead and held her close to me.
"How's Charlie?" I asked her.
"He's fine. He helped me through some stuff. It's nice I can still go and see my dad. We never had a close relationship when I was human. Now I can talk to him about everything. He's still a man of a few words, but he's there for me when I need him. I just don't know what I'll do when he's gone. He's looking really old and rough now. It's hard to see him wasting away and I'm not," she said to me, her eyes shining with sadness.
"We'll help you through it Bella." I said to her.
"Thank you Jasper. I love you." She said.
"I love you too." I told her. I can feel the love pouring off her. How can someone so amazing love someone like me? I don't understand it, and quite frankly I don't want to either.
We walked back into the house and sat in the front room watching movies with the rest of the family until morning.
Bella's POV
The next morning, Jasper and I decided to go for a quick hunt, the burning at the back of my throat getting to me. Jasper's eyes were still golden, he must have hunted recently.
I don't know why he decided to hunt with me, but it was nice to have the company.
Renesmee not needing to hunt more than a couple of times a month was still fine, and she ate human food.
The smell of human food still smelt delicious. I tried some food a while ago, and never tried it again. It was disgusting and revolting. How anyone can eat human food is beyond me, but then I remembered I used to be human, so therefore I had to eat. It was so long ago though.
I still cook now and again for Charlie. It's nice to know I can still look after my father, even when I don't need to.
When I told him what I was, it was funny.
-flashback-
It was 3 years after I was changed, I had golden eyes like the rest of the family. We were about to move away from Forks to Alaska.
I went to see Charlie for the last time before we moved.
He opened the door and I walked in with Edward and Renesmee in tow.
"Hey Bells, Edward. Hey Nessie!" he said to us.
"Hey, Dad." I said.
"Hey, Charlie." Edward replied.
"Hey Pops!" Nessie said.
We moved to the front room and sat down.
"We're moving to Alaska dad," I said to him, after a couple of minutes silence.
"Why?"
"It's just time, we've been here too long. People are starting to get curious on how we're not ageing. Carlisle is supposed to be 33 and he looks nothing like it." I said to Charlie.
"What do you mean you're not ageing?" Charlie asked.
"Dad, I'm going to tell you something that I shouldn't be telling you, but thankfully, Aro's given me permission to tell you and mom that way I can still see you."
"Who's Aro? Why do you need permission to tell us anything? Bella just tell me already." Charlie said.
"We're vampires dad," I said to him.
"Vampires?"
"Yeah."
He looked over to Edward.
"You mean I've had a vampire dating my daughter?!" he shouted.
"Yes." Edward replied.
"Aren't vampires supposed to drink from humans?" Charlie asked.
"Yes, but my family drink animal blood that is why our eyes are golden." I said to him.
"When did you get turned Bella?"
"Right after Renesmee was born. I was going to die, and I had already asked Edward to change me, but he wouldn't until I was dying."
"Why wouldn't you change her when she asked?" Charlie asked Edward.
"Because, I've always thought of us as having no souls. I didn't want that for Bella no matter how much she wanted it. I only changed her in the end because she begged me, plus I didn't want her to die." Edward replied.
"Okay, so you're vampires. Why did you need permission from this Aro fellow?" Charlie asked.
"There is a vampire family in Italy called the Volturi, they are the rulers of the vampire world. There is only one rule. No humans must know of our existence. But Jacob told me, and then we got married and had Renesmee. Another vampire, Irina, saw Renesmee and thought of her as an immortal child, which she isn't, and told the Volturi. We ended up having to find many other vampires to prove that Renesmee was born like this, half human, half vampire, there are only another 6 half-breeds in existence. Aro gave us permission to tell you, his way of saying sorry I think. I just want you to know for a fact that I'm not dead. Technically I am, but still, I'm the living dead." I told him.
"So your vampires, and the 'head' of the vampire world has told you that you can tell me that you are one?" Charlie asked.
"Yup. I thought you'd rather know I'm happy then I'm dead. Wouldn't you?" I asked him.
"Yeah I would rather know that. I'm glad you told me Bells."
"Thanks, dad."
"One question though. How did Jacob know?"
"He's a werewolf. You saw Seth change, remember?"
"Oh yeah, I just didn't know what he was." Charlie replied.
"Ah, yeah, well Vampires and Werewolves exist. It's the only way. Werewolves are human protectors, they exist because we do." Edward explained.
-end of flashback-
"Bella?" Jasper was asking.
"Yeah?"
"Are you okay? You looked like you were off somewhere else." he asked.
"Yeah I'm fine, I was just remembering when Edward and I told Charlie I was a vampire." I laughed.
"Oh. I remember that, you came home and were laughing with Edward, back when everything was normal."
"Yeah but what's life when it's normal? Its better when something happens, it keeps us from getting bored." I said.
"Yeah I know, but still. I'm glad things have happened this way. I wouldn't be standing here with you would I?"
"No, I guess not. I'm glad things have worked out, I'm glad I found you."
"Me too, Bella. Me too," Jasper said.
"You ready to go back home?"
"Yeah I am, ready?"
"Let's go."
We ran home.
A/N: Please review. Also if anyone has any ideas for titles for my sequel of Fighting For Everything We're Worth, it would be much appreciated.
