Previously...

He grabbed my hair forcing me up to him, "You want me to show you what it's really like to let loose with a vampire?"

"God yes." I was already breathing heavy. He chuckled ripping my shirt from my body, "Oh darlin' you are in for it now and I promise you that you will enjoy every single minute."

"I can't wait."

I loved every wonderful moment we spent together, that was until something drew my attention elsewhere. I couldn't explain what I saw, but I felt my body began to convulse. Jasper must have felt it because he was quickly on his feet slipping his pants on and holding me down, "No darlin' listen to me focus on my voice."

It is an amazing feeling to feel such power roaring in your veins. I don't know what any of it is. The feeling of ice crashing down a mountainside is an odd way to describe it, but it is the most appropriate. I feel my love holding me with all of his strength calming me with his voice yet it is not enough, something calls to me, speaks to me with a beautiful voice he could never understand because to him it doesn't exist. It is half of who I am. It is my magic.

I rose easily so I did not hurt him and grabbed a sheer gown that lay nearby. It was meant for me, it was nightfall and no one would be in the woods anyway. He was grabbed my hand, "Arelise please, it's not safe."

Slipping the gown over my head I turned kissing him softly, "I will be fine. I love you." He again attempted to follow, but this time he found he was unable for he could not move his feet. I saw him look down in shock. 'Thank you Tillie for giving me a little something here.' I thought briefly before taking a final look at him and jumping out the window.

I took off quickly knowing the family would be on the way back. I knew where I was supposed to go. I can't explain how odd it was to find myself in the middle of a swamp years after Tillie passed in her old broken down house. I can remember when I came here all the time. All the kids thought it was spooky, but me I just thought it was fantastic. I loved Tillie.

This was my own little utopia. I used to pretend I was a princess and this was a magical land with fairies and unicorns, there were so many wonderful memories here. I forced open the door with a loud scraping noise as it drug the floor and walked inside the decaying house. I could still feel her presence there, overwhelming me. So many memories.

"To know the unknown you must unlock the door and let her in." I heard from behind me. I didn't turn, there was no need. Instead I walked forward lifting a strange looking bottle. "Why did he not kill my mother?"

"He was using smell, when I mated with her it changed her smell. As with you, you do not smell the same. He was unable to trace you although you do look like Tillie. You were able to remain hidden until you stumbled upon your sister that night."

"Is that why she did it?"

"She wanted you safe, she knew you would be. She knew that I would protect you. I was always close. I could not tell you until the time was right. You must understand you are not like us, you are very different."

I turned meeting his caramel eyes, "How?"

He moved closer caressing my cheek, "You are my daughter, you were born into this life then bitten. You already had the characteristics in you. Faster, stronger, there were other things. You were more graceful, you danced like I did."

"You danced?" I asked shocked. He smirked, "I did." He looked away, "Your skin is smooth as ivory and Tillie had freckles." I had noticed that part long ago. He turned touching my long hair, "Your hair is impossibly beautiful yet straight. She had curly hair. You do have a lot of me in you."

"I thought maybe I lucked out." I shrugged looking him over closer. He really was beautiful. He noticed me looking but didn't seem to mind, I guess he knew this was something I needed to do. He was my father, my real father. All those times when I confused the feelings he felt for Tillie with me. I wasn't all wrong yes he loved me, but not like that. I was his daughter.

He smiled running his hand through his hair as Edward sometimes does. "I had a time with Edward. He knew nothing. When he came to school here and saw you he felt you were related to her. He also knew there were a few differences he couldn't pinpoint. He also knew the smell was off."

"Did he smell it was you?" I asked in wonder.

He laughed now, "No, he had no idea." He walked past me to look out the window, "It was so hard to do. I do not regret you young one. It did hurt me so to do that to Tillie. I felt like I was betraying her. She was so kind and her heart so big."

"Why not just keep you for her self?"

He inhaled deeply. "She was not a selfish person, she lived for others. Not many people do that. You were meant to be here my daughter. One can't change destiny. You can't change your fate and the life you will be tied to. You will never be fully like me."

"What do you mean?" I asked confused.

He smiled touching my heart, "I can say it won't be long for you to fully change and I can wait forever and hope. Yet listen, really listen with an ear only a vampire can hear with. You will never move beyond what you are now."

I stood looking at him confused by his words. He felt my arm, "No pulse unless you really feel yet your heart it beats does it not?"

"What?" I took a few steps back in shock. He smiled, "Do not worry, you are a vampire and you are the best of both of both worlds could there be such a thing. Your heart beats little one faint, but beating. She wanted it so. It is why you were made to be part of me to begin with. Jasper could not take your life away he could only bring you close to him."

"I will crave blood though."

"Will you? Do you?"

I had not really thought about it, the only thing I ever wanted was Jasper. I craved his blood. He smiled, "You tied yourself to him and in that you are as one."

"I don't....what does that mean?" His words were riddles, I don't like riddles and mind games.

"It mean's Jasper should have asked what he was getting into."

I moved closer growing angry, "I don't understand!" He smiled, "It's ok sweet one relax. Tillie wanted your true love and you to be very close and to have a bond as no other. To be able to feel things and sense things like no other. It comes with a price. You only crave one person's blood and I am afraid that person is Jasper."

"You can't be serious!" I answered irate. I turned away, "This is that bad D movie again and I will wake up any second." I tapped my foot. He tried to calm me ignoring my outburst. "Arelise, you will not crave all of the time. You must feed though and he must be your source. You will claim no other. I am sorry. I would have told you, I did not know he would turn you so soon. I thought he would wait. His control was....lacking. I did not realize the strength of your pull towards each other."

I tensed smelling the most wonderful smell and forcing myself to the wall grabbing the wood there hearing it splinter. Carlisle fought a smile as Jasper walked in, "Is she ok?"

"She's hungry."

"Jasper moved closer, "Gabby, are you hungry?" I wanted him as far away from me as he could be and backed deeper into the corner, turning to face him.

I shook my head, "Please stay back, this isn't right." I closed my eyes shaking my head back and forth, chanting a mantra to myself "Just a bad movie Gabby you'll wake up any time now, just a dream, just a dream." When I opened my eyes his big chestnut eyes fell saddened, "Love, it is what it is. Esme spoke with me. She told me what is to be. I love you, it doesn't matter to me how you feed as long as you do." I hated to see him look this way. He was way to beautiful to ever be sad.

"Just a dream...a bad movie." I repeated.

He sighed, "I am not a movie, when I was a child I thought vampires were a bad movie, but here I stand. Arelise you can't rationalize this away. We need each other it is what we must to do survive. If it is what I need to do to be with you then I will gladly do it."

"It's disgusting. You said it was only the one time."

"I thought it was, and it's not disgusting, think of it as erotic."

I frowned, "Jasper, please."

He knelt on one knee looking handsome as he held out one hand, such a calm intimate gesture. I looked at his hand then back to his face. He met my eyes. "I love you. I don't know what more I can say. I turned you to be with me. I want us to be together and whatever form that takes so be it. It's no worse than killing a mountain lion or something when you think about it. Technically it's better, I smell better and..." He winked, "I'm better looking." I watched the way a blonde curl cascaded down his cheek, he had no idea.

I looked behind him and noticed Carlisle had slipped out. He moved closer starting to slowly unbutton his shirt then stopped far enough to leave me plenty of space so I would remain comfortable. I watched him as he slowly unfastened every button then slid his shirt down his muscular, but lean arms. I noticed my breathing increasing. Why did he have to be so damn handsome? His snowy marble chest was begging for me to run my hands over the sculpted muscles there.

He smiled sitting back on his knees, curling a sexy finger at me. "Come to me little angel, come and drink from me." Talk about your perfect temptation....

I gasped thrashing my head back and forth as the hunger began to build. I can not do this. I don't want to do this again. Why does he have to make it seem so easy? He bit his lip leaning forward in the most seductive way I have ever seen. I swear I am going to pounce on him in a minute. He was like a lithe jaguar moving in for the kill knowing his prey was giving in. He stalked me silently keeping his distance.

He licked his lips and grinned wickedly, "Come on little kitty, quench your thirst I know you want to." He ran his right hand down his chest and hooked his thumb on the waist band of his jeans with a wink. The look in his eyes is what got me, the deep, dark, sinful passion and lust. He had no idea how true that statement was. He was definitely a predator I don't know that I have ever seen him in quite this light. I could almost feel his move before he made it.

He moved closer, "It doesn't hurt me, when you bite me if that is what you are afraid of."

I watched his lips moved entranced. Noticing my preoccupation he moved closer again then took my hand placing it on his neck, "No venom when you bite me....maybe something to do with the bonding thing. I feel the bite, but it's not the burning pain of an attack." My eyes finally met his as he again moved closer.

He was definitely in my comfort zone now. I inched up but he didn't move. "Look in my eyes Gabby, tell me you don't want me."

"I can't."

He smiled tilting his head, "Feed my love bring us closer." Something in what he said made perfect since. I knew in my head each time I fed from him I would grow closer to him in some way, our bond would be strengthened. It should scare me but it didn't. I was living in a nightmare that I should only see on a movie screen and yet it was real and this beautiful creature was in front of me asking me to be with him forever.

He met my curious eyes, "Arelisle?" I smiled cupping his handsome face in my hands and kissing him gently. He responded in kind pulling flush against him. I don't know who was holding who tighter, but I remember burying my fingers in his long curly locks and sighing. I could stay like this for a lifetime and be happy.

His deep moan vibrated into my own chest and my lips made a trail down his jaw to neck and I found myself focusing on the one place I needed most. I knew he was aware it was coming, he grasped the boards beneath us and I heard them give way. I tried to be gentle as I sank my teeth into his tender flesh. I could feel his rigidity for only a moment until he released the ground and moaned my name pulling me closer to him as his hands wound into my hair.

I don't know what he was feeling, but I was feeling euphoric. Like I was floating and we were the only two people on this deserted planet and were intertwined by love and passion. He gasped gripping my waist, "Gabby, you have to stop."

I immediately released him meeting his eyes. They were still golden but he looked worried. I felt a sudden chill overcome me. He attempted to stand but fell back momentarily. I assume my feeding left him momentarily weakened. "Listen to me love, someone is coming you have to go."

I felt a flash of remembrance and looked around then shook my head, "No."

"You are not ready Gabby. You are a newborn you can't be here."

"Jazz, you are weak because of me." I stood helping him into a dark corner, "Rest, regain your strength." This was all entirely my fault, I made him weak. I felt what he did, what he failed to realize is we connected, his knowledge was also now my own. I looked around the house judging the exits and how long we had before our guest arrived.

"You should run." He said again.

I turned looking across the room at him, "We are not without our own bag of tricks Jazz my love." I turned and ran outside the door and away from the cabin just in time to meet him as I expected. His arm went across my chest and pinned me to the tree. I pretended this was a surprise.

"I've been waiting for you." I would say I didn't care but I do realize this would just agitate him.

"Demetrius, you haven't changed." I took in his dark hair, sharp cheekbones and pale handsome features.

He leaned closer to me, his eyes assessing the color change in mine. "Hmmm....but I see you have." He smirked inhaling deeply. "You smell of lavender and spring, just as Tillie always did."

"What do you want?" I pretended as if I didn't know, probably because I really didn't care.

"I would think that would be obvious." His eyes roamed over my body appreciatively.

"I am not Tillie. She is dead. I am Arelise." I stood my ground hoping to get across I was not afraid of him even though in some way I was. He killed my sister and who knows how many other innocent people. He shrugged, "Yes, she chose poorly, old age. She could have had youth eternal. I will never understand her decision, or her choice in men. You however, are an entirely different matter. You are not quite what you seem are you. Not quite human and yet not quite vampire either but....a little of both."

He inhaled my neck deeply, "You are also mated that could prove to be a problem. I shall have to remedy it." I pushed him away, "You will not touch him!"

"How will you stop me little one? The same way you saved your sister? Will you stand by and watch as I drain the life out of him to?"

I heard my family approaching but I wasn't paying attention, I didn't care. I was beyond angry. He would not hurt my beloved. I pressed my hand on his chest and forced him back, "You will not touch Jasper."

I did not realize the anger was radiating off of me in waves and into him. It was almost as if I was surrounded by a red haze that was pulsing into him. He was suffocating with it, grabbing his neck as if he couldn't breathe. I didn't care I wanted him gone, to disappear and never be seen or heard from again.

I saw my father try and approach me but he shook his head speaking with the others though I did not listen to what he said. I simply watched Demetrius crumble to the ground before me begging me to stop and knowing I did not want to.

"I heard Carlisle then, "Arelise, you must stop. This is not our way."

"He will hurt Jasper."

"No he won't, we won't let him. Arelise you must not do this." He pleaded. I listened but my thoughts were so consumed with anger I didn't listen. I wondered why no one came close until I felt familiar hands on my waist and a smooth cheek against my face, "Release him love, it is enough." His voice smooth and calming.

"Jasper." I whispered closing my eyes and reaching to touch his face, all other thoughts gone. I ignored Demetrius who struggled for air as Carlisle checked on him and I turned to Jasper who pulled me into his strong arms. "You are quite strong, beautiful." As he brushed the stray hair off of my shoulders he whispered in my ear, "Remind me not to make you angry."

"I would never hurt you." I whispered into his neck as I buried my face there inhaling deeply. It felt so good to be close to him again.

I did not hear Demetrius leave although I am sure we were not finished. Carlisle rested his hand on my back, "Are you ok daughter?"

"Yes."

He nodded, "You can channel each others energy, part of the connection you have. He squeezed my shoulder, "You must learn to control it. It will take practice. Jasper will help you."

"So since Jasper is empathic what do I do exactly?" I asked in wonder. Edward chuckled slipping his arm around my shoulder, "Ah baby sister, you focus that as you just saw you can bring someone to their knees. He feels it and you can make someone feel it tenfold understand? Very useful thing...pain can feel very overwhelming when it is pushed to the extreme you can take it to."

I looked at Jasper silently and he passed me a lopsided grin, "I'll meet you guys back at the house." I noticed no one questioned him when he left. Edward pulled me closer whispering, "He will have to feed more often now you are a newborn." He didn't need to explain I got the picture.

"Carlisle said..."

"He was right, but you will still feed more than us." He stopped allowing everyone to pass by and lifted my chin, "Listen to me don't be ashamed to be special. All of us are special in our own way. It makes us unique and you are no different."

"Did you know?" I didn't have to finish my question he read my mind. He sighed and slid his hands into his pockets falling into step beside me, "No. Carlisle kept you hidden very well. He is a good man, and a great father. You are very lucky."

I smiled knowingly, "He seems nice, genuine."

"He is." He stopped his hand bracing my stomach.

"What?"

He grinned as Emmett jumped out running after him. Boys will always be boys. I guess you can never take that away from them no matter what species they are. When I looked around I realized I was alone and I kind of liked it. This was all so new and yet I belonged to this place, to these wonderful people who surrounded me, and most of all to Jasper.

I didn't know what would happen with Demetrius, but I knew he was going to be trouble and I better be ready. Next time would not be so easy I was sure. I felt warm fingers so sure and safe as they ran down my arms. I loved those fingers. I moaned when they caressed my shoulders and ran across my chest lightly to my ribs then came to rest on my waist.

I felt his cool lips on my neck sucking lightly as my eyes closed and I memorized his smell, it was always so perfect. God how I love him, I can already feel fire building in my veins and he has hardly touched me. How can one man make me like this? So vulnerable and helpless to his every need all he has to do is ask.

"Jazz." I whispered as I bit my lip hard when I felt his hand slide under the waistband of my jeans and pushed back into him. He always made me feel so amazing. It was then he spoke, "I love you."

"I love you too." I answered back turning my face to the right to meet his lips. He met mine hungrily then pulled back with a smile tilting his head. I knew what he was doing and he knew I couldn't resist, not now, not like this. It was cruel, and mean, and oh my god I couldn't resist. I heard him moan as soon as I bit him and my world came crashing down in more ways than one. He is the devil reincarnated and I love him. I felt him pull me close and my world was Jasper.

So I like to play in a little different "Danger Zone" I have to get my kicks somewhere :)
