A/N:
Here is the next chapter! Enjoy and please review!
Chapter 9: Change
I'm sure everyone could hear my heartbeat was off, but I couldn't control it. It had a mind of its own.
"Bella, this is Jason," Jasper said, motioning towards the unknown vampire.
"Nice to meet you, Bella," he said.
I looked up to meet his eyes, but stopped when I noticed the color.
Red.
I didn't know what to do.
So I ran. I turned around, and ran.
I ran to the sliding glass door, but tripped on my way out. But it wasn't Edward's strong, cold arms that caught me. It was Jason's.
"Let me go," I said.
Something in my voice must have tipped him off as to what I was feeling because he let me go.
I tried to run outside, but Jasper stopped me.
"Bella, it's okay," he said.
"No, it's not," I said, trying to keep my voice from cracking. "His eyes are red, Jasper."
"They aren't, Bella. Look closer," he urged.
I looked at Jason's eyes. Jasper was right. His eyes weren't exactly red. But they weren't the golden color all of the Cullens had due to their "vegetarian" diet. His eyes were a color without a name. They were between the red of human blood drinking vampires and vegetarian vampires.
"Oh," I said.
"He's trying to change, Bella," Jasper told me, "And we know that because of his eyes. He won't hurt you, Bella. He's changing."
Jasper was right. If people were able to change, then vampires can change, too.
