I threw my sleep schedule out of whack, so I hope you all forgive me, for any errors. Anyway, enjoy! ^-^
Riding up to the treaty line with Edward and Bella, Jasper and I are in the back seat, his arm around my shoulders, my head on his chest, with my one of my knees held to my chest, I lean up to him, pressing a kiss to his cheek, causing Jasper to chuckle. I catch Edward smiling as he looks up at us, in his rearview mirror, before school his features as I catch him staring, and he pulls off to the side of the road, following Bella as she climbs out. I stay behind to give Bella and Edward time to say goodbyes, while I sit up from Jasper's hold, and he sighs. "I don't enjoy leaving you here, with these mutts."
"These mutts are my friends." I taunt, pressing a finger to his chest. "Don't forget, they kept Bella and I safe, and sane, while you and Edward were off, god knows where, trying to forget about us." I lean forward, pressing my forehead to his. "Besides, think about it this way. I'm not hanging out with the mutts, I'm here to hang out with Rainn, and Seth, and Bella." I had told Jasper about Rainn, he'd taken an instant liking to her, and we've had her over to our house a few times since then.
"Alright, that makes me feel a bit better." He rumbles, before leaning forward, and pressing a kiss to my lips.
"Besides, you need to take your time," I murmur as I pull back a bit. "feed yourself. You know I'll be fine." He smirks, before pulling me closer, kissing me again as he threads his fingers through my hair, and I curl my fingers, of my uninjured hand, in his hair. He kisses a trail down my neck, causing me to let out a whimper as he latches onto my sweet spot, sucking gently, but enough to leave a mark as I cling to him, before he chuckles, pulling away as I shoot him a dirty look. "Make hurry a little." I state, our night in the hotel room flickering across my mind.
"Something to think of me by." He states, smirking at me as I roll my eyes, shrugging my backpack up my back, and climb out of the car, walking over to Jacob as Bella and Edward stop kissing.
"Really didn't need to know all that." Edward taunts me, causing me to turn around, smirking.
"Bite me, Eddywort." I taunt as I walk backwards, crossing the treaty line with a triumphant smirk. Jacob sweeps me into a hug, before hugging Bella, smirking at Edward over her shoulder, who in turn, stalks over to the car, climbing in, and rushing off. We walk over to the car, where I sling myself into the backseat, Jacob smiles at us.
"So, what do you guys want to do today? Bike, hike, just hang? Your call. But, tonight we're going to a party." With that, he climbs in the car, while Bella and I exchange confused glances, climb in too. A few hours later, we're all walking toward a firepit, when Seth rushes us, Rainn's hand clasped in his own, and I smile as I hug her.
"Jake, about time you all got here. Paul's been hooverin' the grub, but I saved you some burgers." Seth greets.
"Good lookin' out bro." Jacob greets. "Bella, this is Seth Clearwater, and his imprint Rainn. Seth's the newest member of the pack."
"Newest. Brightest. Bestest." Seth flaunts.
"Dorkest." Rainn adds.
"And slowest." Jacob puts Seth into a headlock, when Quil Senior whistles, drawing our attention, all of us sitting before the flames, as Billy Black starts in on the stories, of the tribe's histories.
"The Quileutes have been a small tribe from the beginning, but we've always had magic in our were great spirit warriors... Shape shifters, that transform into the powerful wolf. This enabled us to scare off our enemies, and protect our tribe. One day, our warriors came across a creature… It looked like a man, but it was hard like stone, and cold as ice, our warriors' sharp teeth, finally tore it apart... But only fire would completely destroy lived in fear, the Cold Man was not alone. And they were right." I could see Bella becoming enamored with this story, causing me to swallow thickly, flipping open my phone after it vibrates in my pocket, causing me to sigh as Jasper's names pops up in a text.
-Soulmate
Just finished hunting, be there soon. Promise.
~Darlin
Edward's not gonna be happy. We're learning the Quileute history. Two words. Third Wife.
-Soulmate
He's already mad. He just broke a tree trunk.
~Darlin
Figured as much.
I flip my phone shut, just as the story gets wrapped up, and Jacob drives us back to the border, where Edward and Jasper are a few minutes later, waiting as Bella and I cross the line, and climb in the car, almost right off the bat, Jasper presses his lips to mine, while Edward puts the car in reverse, flipping it around, and we start towards the house once more. Walking inside, the tv is on, a pretty New anchor is reporting on the mass killing spree going on in Seattle, Carlisle watches in concern as Jasper pulls me into his lap on the couch, watching as well, Emmett lounges over the back of the couch watching, while Edward and Bella finally join us.
"It's getting worse." Carlisle states. "We're going to have to do something."
"It take more than one of our kind to cause the damage they're reporting. Quite a few more. They're undisciplined, conspicuous…" Jasper shakes his head, glancing up at Edward.
"Newborns." Edward states, confirming what Jasper and I talked about, months ago.
"What, like new vampire?" Bella asks in confusion.
"In their first few months, after their change." Edward answers.
"That's when we're at our most uncontrollable, vicious, insane with thirst." Jasper states, rubbing my leg, soothing me.
"Something to look forward to." Emmett taunts Bella.
"No one has trained these newborns, but this isn't random." Jasper adds, causing my stomach to flip.
"Someone's creating an army." Carlisle states, causing my heart to thunder, echoing against my chest as Jasper hugs me softly.
"Oh, now we definitely going to Seattle." Emmett smirks, causing me to roll my eyes.
"An Army of vampires?" Bella asks, her tone is worried.
"And they've been created to fight someone." Jasper states, his breath brushing across the back of my neck.
"We're the only clan even close to Seattle." Edward says, his throat constricting.
"Regardless, of who are they were may, if we don't put a stop to them, the Volturi will. I'm surprised they've let it go on this long." Carlisle says, softly.
"Maybe they're behind it. In Italy, I read Aro's mind," Edward looks down. "He wants me and Alice to join him... Our gifts would shore up his power." He glances at me. "He wants Lilith too, he knows she's a witch." He pauses. "But, he knows that we'll never join him, as long as our family is alive." He glance at Carlisle again. "An army would fix that for him."
"Even if that is true, I would never join them!" I hiss.
"We can't wait two weeks for graduation; you need to change me now-" Jasper cuts Bella off.
"You'd be a liability as a newborn. Unable to control your instincts. An easy target." Carlisle nods to Jasper, settling a hand on her shoulder, causing her to look up at him.
"There's also your father to consider. And your mother. How terrible would it be for them if you suddenly disappeared?" Bella looks like she wants to argue, but doesn't as Edward, Jasper, and I stand.
"I think it's time to get these two back to Bella's for the night." Edward states.
"Good night." I bid, following them out the door, and before long we are in Bella's room, myself on the airbed, and Bella on her bed, both of us falling fast asleep, Edward beside Bella, and Jasper beside me. The next day, I am hanging out behind Bella and Jacob, walking along the sand in a marsh, Jacob seemingly distracted as I look out, across the marsh, which seems to be so beautiful, it draws me in, and by the time I turn back around, my eyes widen as my jaw drops. Jacob is forcefully pressing his lips to Bella's, who is able to pull back, my eyes widening as I recognize the look in her eyes as she reels back, striking Jacob across the face, before she cries out, and I rush across the marsh area, grabbing her as I glare at Jacob, who winces as he hurries us to the car, driving us toward Charlie's house. I flip open my phone, shoot Jasper a text, and two seconds after we pull up to the curb, Edward's Volvo appears in the drive, he crosses to Jacob, shoving him, and Jacob pushes back against him. I climb out of Jacob's Rabbit, going to interrupt the fight, when an arm wraps around my middle, pulling me against the person's chest, despite my struggling- I know that it's Jasper, I'm just worried about Bella, luckily Charlie comes, and breaks up the fight, so I relax.
"You two okay, over there?" Charlie asks.
"Great Charlie," I give him a thumbs up. "I was just gonna smack those two's heads together, but Jasper stopped me." Charlie lets out a laugh, nodding as I turn around in Jasper's arms, smiling up at him.
"You're reckless." Jasper breathes, pressing his forehead to my own, causing me to let out a laugh, pecking him lightly on the lips.
"I think we've already proven that." I tease, pulling back with a wink, he gestures to the bike behind him, causing me to hoot, climbing on the as I strap my helmet on, and Jasper chuckles, climbing on the front.
"Better catch up to Bella and Edward, at the house." Jasper says, causing me to let out a laugh.
"A bit busy." I answer, before he chuckles, starting the bike up, and I wrap my arms around him, once we pull up to the house, gliding between the Jeep and Porsche, where he stops the bike, and I hop of the back, removing my helmet, before we enter the house, our hands clasped as Emmett taunts Bella.
"Trying to walk, and chew gum at the same time, Bella?" Emmett asks.
"Punched a werewolf in the face." Bella answers.
"Lilith beat you to that excuse." Emmett taunts, causing Bella to look at me, waving my splitted wrist.
"No, but she totally did, Em." I answer.
"You two spend too much time together, doing badass shit the same." Emmett grins at Bella. "But you're gonna be one, tough, little newborn."
"Tough enough to take you on." Bella answers, Rosalie slaps down the newspaper in her hands, crossing the room, and slips out, scowling angrily. Bella glances at me, then stands, walking out as I keep quiet.
"Don't worry about it." Emmett directs at me.
"I already know." Rosalie had told me why she was so against Bella turning into a vampire.
"Any leads?" Edward asks.
"No sign of the intruder. But Victoria continues to make appearances." Jasper answers, wrapping his arms around my waist.
"She's toying with us. Keeping us distracted." Carlisle states, causing me to sigh, leaning back into Jasper's hold.
"From Seattle?" Emmett asks.
"Or the intruder. Or something else." Carlisle answers.
"Alice can keep tracking her decisions but we have to track her on the ground." Edward states.
"We've already cover the entire southern peninsula down to Quinault." Jasper answers, causing me to look up at him, tugging at the ends of my hair.
"We'll search the northwestern trail." Edward says, I turn around in Jasper's grasp, touching his chest as he smirks, looking down at me.
"Right, well I'm gonna put her to bed. I'm fine for the night, with feeding- I'll stay with her." Jasper lifts me into his arms, causing me to squeak, and he climbs the stairs, into our bedroom, where he lets me down to change, and I climb into bed, he wraps his arms around my waist, nuzzling me softly. "I love you." He breathes. "I haven't said that, in a while." I let out a laugh.
"I love you too." I answer, curling against him as I close my eyes, falling fast asleep to rest for tomorrow.
Sitting in my cap and gown, I look over at Jasper, who shoots me a wink, before look up at Jessica Stanley walks across the stage, taking her place before to podem, pulling out notecards from her sleeve, drawing a light chuckle from the crowd. "When we were five, they asked us what we wanted to be when we grew up." She tosses a card over her shoulder, drawing another laugh from the crowd. "Our answers were things like, astronaut, president, or in my case, a princess." That draws another laugh, along with the one that follows as she throws another card over her shoulder. "When we were ten, they asked again and we answered – rock star, cowboy, or in my case, gold medalist." Another laugh, another card. "But now that we've grown up, they want a serious answer. Well, how 'bout this: who the hell knows?!" This draws a large laugh from the crowd. "This isn't the time to make hard and fast decisions, it's the time to make mistakes. Take the wrong train, and get stuck somewhere chill. Fall in love – a lot." Another card, this time a few cheers. "Major in philosophy because there's no way to make a career out of that. Change your mind. Then change it again, because nothing is permanent." She smiles at everyone, and even I feel inspired by her speech. "So make as many mistakes as you can. That way, someday, when they ask again what we want to be... we won't have to guess. We'll know." Applause erupts from crowd, then people start across the stage, getting their diplomas, sadly it's just like seat, it goes by last name, so Esme and Carlisle softly clap for each other their kids, Charlie stands, cheering and hooting for Bella, and when I walk across the stage, Carlisle, Esme, and Charlie all stand, cheering, hooting and hollering, and to my surprise, Sheryl's in the crowd as well, cheering and clapping too.
Walking out of the gym, I shrug off my graduation gown, handing my hat to Jasper, who chuckles once he's folded the gown, and placed it on the table beside the door to the gym, only to stop as his eyes land on me, in my party dress. It's a strapless violet number, with beads down the front, which ends just above my knees, the back travels further down, ending at the tops of my high top, converse all star shoes, and my hair, which had been tucked up in my cap, falls town my shoulders in waves, the tips, which had returned to black for the longest time, are a purple color to match my dress, and all of my piercings are in place once again, save for the snakebite, because they had closed forever ago. "Darlin," Jasper leans in close, bringing his lips towards my ear. "are you trying to get me to ravish you in front of everyone?" He asks, I blush as I hurriedly walk away, starting around the school as he follows.
"This is my outfit for the party." I state as we round the side of the building, on our walk, he pauses mid step, looking me over as his eyes trail down, to the promise ring that sits on it's chain, around my neck, and he presses me to the side of the building, arms on either side of me, before kissing me passionately. One hand cupping the back of my head, the other on my waist to bring me closer to him, my eyes slip closed as I wind my fingers through his hair, tugging him closer as I continue the kiss, before pulling away so that I can breath, to my surprise, though not much, he latches onto my neck, sucking and nipping gently at the skin, just enough to leave a mark, and I only know that, because when he pulls away, he smirks down at me. "You didn't!" I gape.
"At least I waited until after you walked across the stage." He teases, causing me to frown, rubbing my legs together a bit, before sighing.
"Come on, Alice will be annoyed if we are late for a party, especially if it's at our own house." I state, grabbing his arm once I've slipped past him, and the two of us hurry back to the parking lot, where others are still congratulating, and some are saying goodbye to family they haven't seen in awhile. Jasper purposely helps me avoid Sheryl, who is speaking with another student's parents, climbing in the Jaguar, we quickly drive away, and down the road, starting towards the house.
Also, sorry the chapters are so short. Anyway, review, please. ^-^
