Chapter 10
Jasper was sitting in the basement, playing video games, when he heard someone come down the stairs. Instinctively, he looked over to see who it was. Emmett.
"Hey, Jasper, you want to go hunting?" he asked, walking over.
"Right now?" asked Jasper, not turning his eyes away from the screen.
"Yah. Oh, and, uh, by the way-" he snatched the game controller out of Jasper's hands. "You suck crap at this game."
Emmett finished the game. And won, obviously.
Within a few minutes, the brothers were already gone.
Jenicca came downstairs about an hour later, looking beautiful, as always. Rosalie, looking just as beautiful, was already sitting on the couch, legs crossed, watching TV.
"Where's Jasper?" asked Jenicca, trying to sound casual.
Rosalie sighed.
"Jasper went on some big hunting trip or whatever with Em. They could be gone for a while." Explain, grabbing some nail polish off the coffee table and beginning to paint her nails.
Jenicca frowned, wondering how long 'a while' would be.
"Oh, ok. I'll be upstairs." Jenicca said, walking upstairs with a bit more speed than necessary.
In the basement, Alice was talking to Melrose.
"Alice, I've noticed that Jasper and Jenicca have been spending…well, a lot of time together." Melrose said.
"Well," said Alice, clearly annoyed, "I've asked Jenicca to keep an eye on him for me."
"What?!" exclaimed Melrose in disbelief. "But- why would you- she-"
"Melrose, shut up. No one wants you here, anyway. Even Emmett doesn't talk to you anymore" Alice told her harshly.
Melrose bit her lip, tears stinging her eyes.
"Fine." she snapped, and ran up the stairs.
About a week had passed, and Jenicca had a thirst for energy. She needed Jasper, and couldn't stand that he was gone. Her eyes were no longer blue, but an endless black. There was no way to express how much she wanted him now.
But there was one good thing.
Melrose was back with the Vulturi. She had completed her mission. But she would need the energy to make it back to the Vulturi.
She considered her options.
She could leave now, but she may run out of energy along the way. She could drain a human's energy, but if the Cullens found out they wouldn't trust her anymore.
Jasper was going to be gone for another week- and she knew she wouldn't have that long.
She decided she would make her way back to the Vulturi, one way or another. So she grabbed a few things, and left.
Melrose was in Italy, and had at last returned to the coven she was running away from. As she was walking in, someone caught her eye- Felix; her former lover. Oh yes, this would be quite the homecoming.
