You get a bit more of the puzzle piece in regards to the CHOSEN thing in this chapter, but not all is explained just yet. Next chapter will be interesting in that regard. Hope you like. Review please. I love review. They are my life blood. Do it. DOOOOOOO IT!
The next morning Eberle was awoken by a scream of surprise. She groggily opened her eyes to see her brother staring at her from the doorway, his expression going from surprised to devious within seconds.
"What do you want?" She asked him, annoyed that she had been woken so early considering it was a Saturday.
"I'm so telling Mum that you let a boy sleep over." He teased, his voice dramatic and melodic. Only then did Eberle realised that she had arms around her, and Jasper's face buried in her neck, a smile against her skin as he tried not to laugh at the younger Grace.
"Yeah and if you tell her that, I'll tell her about that time you snuck out to a kegger and had to call me for a ride home at three in the morning because you were too drunk to get yourself home." She said and William raised his hands in defeat, a shit eating grin on his annoying face as he back out of the room and closed the door with a loud slam.
"I like your brother." Jasper whispered and Eberle smiled slightly as she snuggled closer back into him. He was cold, but she didn't mind so much, with her heater blasting so hot she liked the cool relief that he supplied.
"My brother is a little shit." She told him as she closed her eyes once more, wanting to go back to
"I should go." Jasper said though his actions spoke of staying as he kissed her shoulder tenderly, starting a slow trail up her neck.
"If you keep that up, I'm going to have nickies all over." She told him though she leaned her head to the side to give him more room. Suddenly he had flipped her over onto her back and he was hovering over her, cradled between her thighs. Eberle couldn't help but blush at the intimate position as he went lower over her collar bones and down towards her breasts.
"Jesus Christ." She swore and Jasper chuckled at the curse, sucking harder against her skin in response, leaving a litany of flowery marks over her chest.
"There's certainly no Jesus here." He told her with a smirk and Eberle rolled her eyes at him as she ran a hand through his hair.
"You should stop before we get carried away." She told him, punctuated with a startled gasp as he moved even lower still and nuzzled a breast, moving to kiss a nipple.
"Is this too much?" He asked, but didn't wait for an answer as he sucked her nipple into his mouth through her flimsy shirt.
"Fuck." Eberle swore again as she pulled at his hair harder, the sensation so foreign yet so fucking good. All too soon he pulled away, resting his chin on her stomach as he looked up at her with a lazy grin.
"For future references, I'm totally okay with you doing that, any time you want." She told him and he raised an eyebrow at her, a mischievous smile forming on his handsome face and Eberle only just now realised that saying that may get her into some trouble.
"I'll hold you to that darlin'." He drawled and Eberle sighed, resigned to her fate.
"Is it weird for you? I mean, you're over a hundred years old, how odd is it to be with someone my age?" She asked him and his brow furrowed as his arms moved to play with the fabric of her top, just below her breasts.
"It sounds off putting when you say it like that, but when we're turned, we retain the mentality of the age we were when it happened. So, I'll always be nineteen years old. That's why it's so easy for us to immerse ourselves in high school culture, because we're all around this age anyway." He told her and Eberle thought that it sounded painful, to be a teenager forever. She had always wanted to be older, the older she got the older she wanted to be. It was a vicious cycle. She felt like things could only get better, but so far they had gotten worse. She tried to be optimistic.
"That's horrible. I'm so sorry." She told him honestly and he buried his face against her stomach as he laughed, his body moving against her as he did so. Eberle found that she liked being under him a whole lot more that was necessary.
"Stop that." She said and whacked his shoulder lightly, a dark blush colouring her cheeks as she tried not to feel aroused by his weight and cool presence all around her. He looked up at her, giving her a knowing smile, and she remembered that he could feel what she felt, smell what she was going through and it made her blush all the harder.
"I wonder if that blush goes all the way down?" He asked her with a cheeky smile, pulling at the hem of her shirt playfully and Eberle couldn't help but laugh as a tickle fight ensued, where in Jasper won and she ended up a terrible laughing mess. He let her get the upper hand eventually, as she rolled them over, straddling him. She grabbed his wrists and held them down against the bed near his head as she leaned over him, breathless and excited. Just as she was about to lean down and kiss him, a phone buzzed and she was on her back again as Jasper leaned over her, reaching to the bed side table to answer his phone.
"Hello?" He asked as he answered. There was some fast paced talking on the other side and Jasper's face went from happy and open back to closed off and hard.
"Alright. I'll be there soon." He told them. There was a pause as he listened to the other side once more.
"I'll bring her with me." He said and then he hung up.
"They've got some more news on what's been happening in Seattle. It's vampire attacks and Carlisle wants to do something about them before the Volturi decide to step in." He told her and Eberle was overloaded with all the information he just gave her.
"Okay two questions. One, who are the Volturi?" She asked him.
"They're a sort of vampire governing body, they enforce the rules of our kind. We only really have one; Don't reveal ourselves to humans." He told her and she could already see how that would be a problem considering she and Bella were in the know.
"Second question, why are the vampires attacking people so obviously if they know that these Volturi people would crack down on them." She asked.
"I have a variance of theories. I will tell you with the others when we get back to the house." He told her and Eberle sighed.
"What's the point of having a boyfriend, if he won't tell her his secret vampire theories?" She whined as he moved to get up. Eberle wrapped her arms around his neck and pulled him back to her, knowing that he let her do so but still feeling some triumph at the movement.
"Tell me." She whined once more. Jasper just looked at her for a moment, before placing a lingering, soft, simple kiss on her lips before getting up and whizzing around. He had successfully put his jumper and shoes back on before she could even sit up.
"I wish I could do that." She told him with a sigh as she made to stand up, stretching her back as a yawn danced out of her mouth.
"Give me half an hour to get decent, yeah?" She asked him and he kissed her forehead before settling back down on her bed to wait.
Eberle emerged from the bathroom fresh and happy, wearing a comfy pair of black jeans and a grey top under a shirt that she stole from her brother, along with a pair of lined boots that were toasty warm. She finished the ensemble with a big fluffy black jacket. She would have worn leg warmers too but sadly they were not in fashion anymore. She put on fingerless gloves and a beanie, before going back into her room, having taken all of this into the bathroom with her because she didn't want to get changed in front of Jasper. When she walked into the room Jasper took one look at her and laughed.
"Oh Sugar, you're cute as a button." He told her as he stood and walked over, poking her nose teasingly.
"What? I don't want to be cold." She told him.
"We do have heating at the house you know." He told her and Eberle blushed.
"I just thought that, since you don't feel the cold, that you wouldn't…." She trailed off, feeling silly.
"Last time you were there, did it seem really cold to you?" He asked as he placed his hands on her hips, pulling her closer. She reluctantly let him hold her as she admitted that it had actually been nice and warm.
"So how about we peel off some of these layers and maybe get you a lighter jacket." He told her, undoing the buttons on the jacket and sliding it over her shoulders, letting it hit the floor. His eyes narrowed as he saw the shirt, taking a deep breath in through his nose as his eyes darkened.
"Whose shirt is that?" He asked.
"William's, why?" She asked, pulling at the collar self-consciously.
"I don't like you wearing other people's clothing." He told her, pulling it off her shoulders and kissing her deeply. Eberle was taken aback by the strong response though willingly submitted to the kiss. He pulled her flush against him and Eberle could feel his arousal pressing against her stomach, making hers do little flips of excitement and nervousness.
"Why?" She whispered against his lips as the kiss cooled down and he gripped her tighter to him as he explained.
"Because then you smell like them. Vampires are very territorial creatures and you smelling like someone else just sets me off. I don't like it. I want you to smell like me so that other's will know that you're mine." He told her and she raised an eyebrow at him, ready to lay into him about feminism and equal rights.
"I know that it's archaic and sexist, but it's more of an instinctual reaction that anything else. I can't help it. Just like you can't help the fact that you talk in your sleep Darlin." He told her and she sighed.
"Can I at least wear your clothes? Half my wardrobe is made up of stolen shirts and jumpers. I'm going to have to do some shopping." She said and he growled as he kissed her again. Obviously, she had said something right.
"The idea of you in my clothes…" he groaned against her lips and he delve back into an intense kiss, his tongue exploring her mouth eagerly and gods did he know how to kiss.
"We're going to be late if we keep this up." Eberle told him, their foreheads pressed together as they caught their breath.
They left soon after, taking Eberle's car. She had refused to let Jasper drive, as she insisted that she was perfectly capable of driving her own car. She ended up missing the turn off to his driveway. As he told her she would. She claimed it was a learning curve, that it would never happen again.
"And here we are." Eberle said as she stopped the car just outside the house, getting out.
"Finally." They heard someone yell from inside and Eberle laughed as she made her way up to the front door, Jasper trailing behind her. She could feel his eyes on her back side and she stopped abruptly, turning around to face him. His eyes raised, travelling up the rest of her body until they reached her eyes, an appreciative look on his face. He closed the space between them and kissed her cheek.
"I love these jeans." He said tugging on a belt loop and Eberle couldn't help but kiss him back as he took hold of her hand, dragging her inside.
"Get a fucking room." Someone said from inside and Eberle laughed once more, turning to see who had said it as they made their way into the dining room where everyone was gathered. She sat down next to Jasper and everyone ceased chatting as Carlisle stood at the head of the table, calling for silence.
"Alice has recently had some concerning visions in regards to the attacks in Seattle. It seems that someone is building a newborn army." He told them with a grave voice, looking at Jasper specifically.
"That certainly isn't good news." Rosalie voiced and there were murmurs of agreement.
"What do we do?" Emmett asked.
"We may have to go to Seattle and talk to their leader, see what's happening but in all likely hood it may end with taking them out." Carlisle said with a wince. Eberle could tell that he hated the idea of hurting another being, even if they were hurting others.
"Why would they do that though? There must be some purpose other than to kill people." Bella spoke and Eberle only just noticed that she was present. She supposed that if she was here, her cousin certainly should be as well.
"I haven't been able to discern their purpose. Their leader is getting vague instructions from another and I can't place them yet." Alice told everyone.
"Can't we just kill them all and get it over with?" Someone said and Eberle didn't know who it was. No one responded to the question as they kept discussing options. Soon enough, Eberle's eyes fell on Edward and his thoughts filtered into her brain.
"I should just lock her up in a tower somewhere where she couldn't get into any trouble." He mused.
"Knowing her, she'd probably fall out the window." Eberle thought and Edward snapped his attention to her.
"Are you reading my mind?" He asked her.
"I suppose I am?" She told him and he looked utterly bewildered. Their attention was diverted as a commotion played out. Alice was having another vision.
"She's one of the chosen." She told them in awe. Eberle was still half paying attention to Edwards mind, and through him she saw Alice's vision. A Vision on her, throwing a vampire twice her size over her shoulder and breaking his neck.
"Holy fucking shit." She said as the vision ended and Alice and Edward were staring at her.
"Eberle and Jasper are Chosen." Edward informed the others. There were gasps around the table as everyone took in the new information.
"What does that mean?" Bella asked, looking at her with large worried eyes.
"It means that she's special. It explains the dreams of Jasper. And how she could read my mind just now. It's quite extraordinary." Edward told them as he watched, her fascinated.
"Stop staring at me." She told him silently. He only nodded in accent.
"This is remarkable. There hasn't been a pair of Chosen since…" Carlisle trailed off.
"Oh this may be bad. What if Aro takes an interest in them and decides to make a house call? What if he summons them to him? We'd all have to go. Bella would have to go and they'd see that she was still human." Esme said and there was silence for a moment as everyone absorbed that possibility.
"So we keep it quiet. Don't tell anyone else. Easy done." Emmett said.
"For now." Carlisle agreed.
"What about when they do find out? What then?" Eberle asked.
"We'll figure it out if it comes to that. Now, we have more immediate worries." Carlisle told her. Throughout the entire exchange, Jasper had remained silent. He seemed to be in shock. Eberle tightened her grip on his hand and leaned closer into him, resting her chin on his shoulder.
"Are you alright?" She asked him and he jumped slightly as his hand moved, threading their fingers together.
"I'm just glad that I found you is all. My mate. I knew that our bond was strong, but to be Chosen is an honour. Especially to be chosen by you." He told her and Eberle was still unsure exactly what that meant.
