Chapter Eleven
Bella POV
Jasper explained that Alice had seen some other vampires coming to Forks on the way to school the next morning but told me not to worry about it for now. Some strange vampires were coming to Forks and I was supposed to not worry? Last time vampires came to Forks I ended up in hospital.
"Are you alright?" Jasper asked me as we left Spanish which was the last lesson of the day.
"Yeah, just over thinking." I smiled. "Let's go, I promised Emmett I'd play him on the Wii."
When we arrived at the house Alice was outside instantly and straight away Jasper looked worried, which in turn worried me.
"Where have you been?" she demanded. "You took ages to get home, I've been worried!"
"We stopped by the store to get Bella something for dinner, what did you see?" Jasper asked as we followed Alice inside.
"Two vampires at least, heading here, right now." Alice replied.
"When will they get here?" Jasper asked.
"We have minutes to decide if you want Bella here or not." Alice told him, then she looked at me. "And whether of course you want to be here."
"What are the choices?" Jasper asked.
"One of us can take Bella out of harm's way, I don't think they're here for her or even know about her." Alice told us. "But it can't be you Jasper, they're here to see you."
"No splitting up." I said firmly.
"Are you sure?" Jasper asked me. I bit my lip and nodded. "Alright. Emmett, Rosalie!" I looked at Jasper in surprise, his voice sounded like a command, like authority and Emmett's figure leapt over the stair banister moments later and appeared in front of us, Rosalie stood at the top of the stairs. "If something happens I need you to get Bella out." He told Rosalie. "Besides Edward and me you're the fastest so you take her and you run. Emmett you help me keep the enemy distracted so they can do that."
"We don't know that they're the enemy Jazz." Alice said softly.
"Just in case." Jasper said lowly. "All clear?" Everyone nodded, following his direction.
"Alright everyone any minute now." Alice told us, Esme and Carlisle joined us and we all stood in an awkward silence waiting. I clutched at Jasper's hand, he gave it a reassuring squeeze and then let me go, placing me next to Emmett and stepping to the front of the family next to Carlisle.
Then the door knocked. Carlisle opened it and everyone's gazes focused on the porch, I couldn't see anything yet.
"Good evening." Carlisle greeting. "Can we help you?"
"I've heard of you, you are the one that turned our Jasper into a domestic animal." Said a woman's voice.
"Savannah." Jasper's voice said curtly. "Cassidy." It was then that two female vampires stepped into the house. "Well, that explains a lot."
"Haven't you missed us?" the dark haired woman asked. "We've missed you, very much."
"Not one but two ex's bro, awkward!" Emmett's voice boomed with laughter. Was that true? We they old girlfriends?
"Not girlfriends." Jasper corrected. Carlisle seemed to stare at the two women a while before speaking again.
"They're his." He said quietly. The rest of the family looked at the two women perplexed until he elaborated. "He created them."
"Just two of many." The dark haired woman smiled.
I looked at the two women, they looked so very different; one dark haired and the other blonde. The blonde had long hair that fell on large loose ringlets spilling over her shoulders and down her back, her jeans clung tightly to her legs, she wore a white blouse and white shoes to match. If it weren't for the crimson eyes she would look almost angelic. The dark haired woman had shorter hair, straight and shoulder length, her jeans were black and her top blood red she looked like the gothic female vampires you see on TV. Both of the women had a necklace, a pedant that dangled around their necks...a Jasper pendant.
"But we were your favourites, weren't we Jasper?" the blonde one asked. She even sounded sweet and innocent.
"See, he can't deny it." The other woman smiled. "That never went down too well with Maria now did it?"
"Enough." Jasper barked, he turned to the dark haired one. "What do you want Savannah?"
"You." Savannah replied.
"Sorry, no can do." He retorted. "Try again, what do you want?"
"We're taking on Maria to defend our territory, we need to make an army and you major are the best person for that." She replied.
"She'll kill us Jasper." Cassidy added. "We don't have the numbers or the skills."
"You won't have any problems with numbers." Jasper shrugged.
"But training, you're the one." Savannah insisted.
"I'm sure you're quite capable of convincing newborns to listen to you." Jasper drawled.
"Excuse me, how about we all introduce ourselves?" Carlisle interrupted politely. "I'm Carlisle and this is my family."
"And I presume the human isn't dinner?" Savannah smirked.
"Bella is none of your business." Jasper growled. "She's part of the family."
"Shame, she smells divine." Savannah smiled sweetly. Jasper must have done or said something that I could see or hear because she huffed in defeat. "Fine, we'll play nice."
"I'm Cassidy, this is Savannah." The blonde smiled, shaking Carlisle's offered hand.
"This is my wife Esme, Emmett and Rosalie, Jasper you know and then Alice and Bella." Carlisle pointed gestured to each of us in turn. "Can I take your word that Bella being here won't be a problem?"
"They're both pretty controlled." Jasper answered for them. "Or at least they'd better be."
"I never thought I'd see you making nice with a human Major." Savannah commented. Cassidy stepped forward right in front of me.
"She wants to be one of them." She said quietly. "She wants it very badly, she wants to be a shining thing forever, with our Jasper." I felt myself flush under her gaze.
"We'll see about that." Savannah smirked, she stepped closer but then frowned. "I can't get in her head."
"No, you wouldn't be the first." Jasper said coolly. "Now can we play nice ladies?"
"Fine." They both pouted.
A short while later we were all in the living room. It turns out that both of the vampires had powers, Cassidy could see want people wanted most in the world and Savannah could persuade people to do almost anything she wanted but usually only humans and newborns. Apparently on older vampires she could be persuasive but it didn't necessarily mean that they'd do anything she wanted. As for me, she couldn't get in my head to persuade me either. They found it very frustrating that Cassidy's power worked on me but Savannah's didn't. Carlisle's theory was that anything directly aimed at my mind wouldn't work, Cassidy couldn't see everything the people wanted, just the thing their heart wants most Savannah needed to get in my head. The same way Jasper could influence my feelings but Edward couldn't read my mind.
"I can't help you." Jasper told them some time later.
"But Maria will destroy us Jasper." Savannah insisted. "You created us and you're going to leave us to die?"
"No, I'm saying I can't help you make a vampire army." Jasper said shaking his head. "I think you should run."
"You want us to leave our home? Permanently?" Cassidy gasped, Jasper nodded. "But there isn't any other territory safe in the south. I don't want to leave the sun behind."
"I know somewhere you can go." Jasper sighed. "But I'll have to call someone first and you have to behave yourselves."
"I hope you don't mean we have to eat animals because I would rather let Maria kill me." Savannah muttered.
"No, you wouldn't have to change your diet." Jasper sighed. "I mean don't start any wars or draw too much attention."
Jasper POV
It was surreal finding that the vampires Alice had warned us about were two of my own creations. I wasn't overly scared of them, but I would be an idiot not to be wary. They were manipulative and sneaky. Those two women could lure many a man to their deaths, usually via their beds. I smirked to myself; Maria hadn't liked finding them in my bed one bit.
I had never had a romantic relationship with either of them of course, purely physical and the only reason Maria didn't have me kill them like the others was because of their powers. Any of the newborns that had useful powers were allowed to live.
"Sooo...you're telling me you never-" Emmett left the rest hanging.
"Of course I did, a very long time ago." I replied honestly.
"Both of them?" he grinned. I didn't dignify this with a response. "You don't think they'd going to persuade me into their beds do you, because Rose would seriously kill me."
"I think you should be more worried about them persuading Rosalie into their beds." I replied, leaving the room. I passed Bella stood in the hallway, her mouth dropped.
"Seriously?" she asked.
"Yeah, I'd better spend all my time in your bed with you so that you're safe." I smirked. She smiled up at me and leant up to kiss me.
"Is that so?" she laughed. "So are they staying?"
"Not in the house they're not." I replied. "They're staying in a cottage on the outskirts of our property for now, once I get hold of my friend Peter they'll be on their way.
"What makes you so sure they'll leave you?" Bella asked.
"Because they won't be able to resist Peter and Charlotte." I chuckled. "They'll have plenty of fun believe me."
"I'm not sure I want to know." Bella murmured shaking her head.
"Right, bed for the human." I told her. "We have school tomorrow."
I left Bella in the bath while I finally got through to Peter, he'd been hunting all day so hadn't even checked his messages. Once hanging up with the promise that I would visit I returned to Bella in the en suite.
"That looks very comfortable." I told her.
"It is, but it's really really hot in here so I'm going to be a lobster when I get out." She grinned up at me. "Actually could you flick the cold tap on for a few seconds?"
"I've got a better idea." I told her, lifting my shirt over my head. "Scoot your butt forward beautiful and I'll join you in there." She laughed out loud but sat up and shuffled forward enough so that I could climb in the tub behind her and then rearrange her to lie back against me.
"You're freezing compared to this water." She gasped.
"In a minute I'll warm up and the water will cool down." I told her, kissing her temple. "I spoke to my friend Peter and he's agreed to take in Cassidy and Savannah."
"That's good; it's good that you're trying to help them." Bella replied lazily. "And that they haven't eaten me yet."
"I won't let them eat you, can't say the same for me though." I murmured, kissing and licking along her temple and down the side of her face until I bit at her ear. I felt her lust spike but stopped for now. "Do you really want to be one of us more than anything?"
"Only if I'm with you, you and the family." She replied. "What I want more than anything is to be with your family, part of your family not the human pet of the family."
"You're not a pet Bella; you just need a bit more looking after than we do." I chuckled.
We lazed in the bath for a while, I told Bella about my past with Maria and Cassidy and Savannah, I even told her all about Peter and Charlotte. Eventually the water started to grow cold so we got out and dried ourselves off. I leant forward and wrapped my damp arms around Bella, pulling her close enough to kiss her. I shook my hair, flicking the drips of water all over her and then darted to the bedroom.
"Hey!" she called out. "Mister Whitlock you get your naked butt back here!"
"Not something I needed to here Bells!" we heard Emmett shout loudly from downstairs, causing Bella flush with embarrassment and me to burst out laughing. I had to admit life with Bella and life with the Cullens...it was never boring.
Bella POV
The rolled over the next morning and lazily snuggled into Jasper's chest, he wasn't even cold when he'd spent the whole night under the covers with me. Perhaps his feet might be but since he was taller than me I could just keep away from those.
I suddenly realised that Jasper's eyes were closed and he wasn't breathing, I knew he didn't need to breathe but the Cullen's all did it automatically now as part of their charade so it was odd to see him not breathing.
"Jasper?" I called groggily. I only got a slight grunting noise in response which increased my curiosity. "Are you asleep?"
"Not now I'm not." He complained.
"Vampire's don't sleep." I said still trying to figure out what he meant. Sure enough Jasper looked as if he had just woken up from a nice long sleep.
"No, vampire's don't need to sleep. Actually it's nearly impossible for a vampire to sleep." He replied, wrapping his arms tightly around me and pulling me back against him. "But I am an empath and when you're asleep I could make everyone in the house sleep if I wanted to, or at least as close as a vampire can get to it anyways. 'course if I was concentrating on projecting you're sleeping on the others I wouldn't be able to myself so..."
"I made you sleep?" I asked incredulously.
"Nah, you didn't make me sleep." He replied. "But feeling all those calm, sleepily, dreamlike emotions was just too irresistible. If I just let myself feel your emotions, let them in, let them take over it's almost like sleep. It's kind of a shut down for us rather than a sleep where we can dream and let our body recover. It's very refreshing actually to literally not think for a few hours."
"Wow, well...sleepy Jasper looks adorable." I smiled, leaning up to kiss him quickly. "I'd better start getting ready."
Once we were all downstairs waiting to get in the cars I realised Alice was missing. I asked Carlisle and Esme where she was and they just said she'd be here in a minute, so I asked Emmett.
"With the ladies." Emmett grinned widely in response. I opened my mouth to respond but nothing came out, all I could do was form a kind of 'oh' sound. Emmett found my shock and embarrassment very entertaining.
"They're very persuasive." Jasper murmured in my ear, as if that explained everything. "Don't worry they're leaving tonight."
Author's Notes: I just thought I'd add on here that no I'm not turning Alice into a lesbian. She is the only single person in the house and the two females are supposed to be very persuasive and good at getting what they want so I thought I'd throw it in for fun.
