Chapter Five

Part Two

Jasper POV

Talk about sensory overload, it was times like these that I wish that I could have been given any other gift besides then gift of empathy. I mean what is so important about feeling how someone else feels? Yes, of course it comes in handy when you get that feeling like someone is lying to you or when you want to know what your girlfriend is feeling when you just "know" she is hiding something. But at times like this it was when I hated my gift.

First off I had the heart covens emotions of indifference with a little apprehension from the leader and from our side well that's where most of the emotional turmoil was coming from, first I had Esme worried about if the new coven was likely going to attack us then I had Carlisle's feelings of curiosity, my lovely Alice with her bubbly nature no doubt wondering if we would be friends with them or not, Rosalie's hate towards a new coven being in our territory, Emmett's eagerness to fight, Bella's curiosity, Edwards protectiveness and Nessies…Well I'm not sure what Nessie was feeling. Her emotions were all over the place, at first you felt panic on seeing the new coven, and then relief, then she felt sad, almost like she was feeling sorry for someone and then the she felt confused. Man and I thought human teenage girls were confusing with all the emotions they felt. Maybe it's a universal thing that all girls feel whether you're human or one of the un-dead or in Nessies case half and half.

Just as I was pondering the workings of the female heart (ill leave the female mind to Edward) I noticed the mind reader himself trying to get my attention without any of both covens noticing. Ha! Goodluck with that, and just I knew he would he failed at not getting himself noticed, practically everyone member of the Heart coven noticed his not so discreet attempt at trying to talk to me and any chance he had of not being over heard was very slim to maybe even nil.

…..

So Edwards attempt to get my attention was a fail, but honestly he was bound to be heard by one of the Heart coven, even if it looked like they weren't paying attention to a word he said they most probably would have been. The Heart Coven was a very interesting coven, especially from an emotional prospective. Quite unlike ours, I mean even though we view ourselves as a "family" and not just like another coven we still had that idea that we aren't family. Where as the Heart coven…eh well family act and emotionally feel like a family, and I'm not quite sure why that is, I mean they are just like us, well they appear to be. Apart from the fact that their coven leader is mate less and they seem like your everyday run of the mill vampires. But I guess I shouldn't judge them either they will speak for themselves or their emotions will speak for them. It doesn't really matter to me which one comes first, because in the end if they lie to us or try to hide something from us either Edward, Nessie, Alice or I should pick it up and if even then we can't maybe there is something from this coven to fear and maybe we should start our attack strategy. But for now all emotions are neutral so all is well and only tell will tell the true nature of our "friends" and whether they are actually our enemies.
