All you who reviewed… THANK YOU!
Chapter 14
Luke POV-
The fighting had ended minutes ago. James body was in the fire, his now cold dead eyes staring out of it, accusing me, reminding me of the monster I had become. I killed him. My thoughts ring in my head as I stare at the man who had made my life hell. I killed him with my power, how could I do that? How could I have that much hate? I wonder, thankful no one seemed to be taking notice of the dilemma I was currently feeling.
I don't look up as the family begins to move back towards home. Never in this second life had I allowed myself to kill with my power. I had worked so hard with Edward to be able to control it, and now that's ruined. I killed…
"You killed for your family" Alice says slightly startling me since I thought I was alone. "Please don't blame yourself for what you did. He was a danger to us all, if he had lived he would have killed us all later."
I don't question Alice's words as she leads me home, through the front door, past Emmett and Rose on the couch washing Emmett's 'battle' scars, past Edward and Jasper at Edwards piano, up the stairs and into what is now our room.
"Thank you for everything Alice." I say pulling her into my arms once we are alone in our room with the door tightly closed. "I love you so much."
"I love you too Luke." She says with a smile before standing on her tip toes and kissing me.
Jasper POV-
"Did you get hurt at all?" I ask Edward once we get home and I notice a few bite marks on Emmett, Carlisle, and myself.
"No love." Edward says also noticing the three fresh scars I would now have. "Come I want to play the piano for you."
His fingers moved expertly as Edward stared into my eyes. The song was soft reminding me of days we would spend in the sun. Time seemed to stand still as Edward played, the music filling the house and eventually calling everyone to stand somewhere behind me and listen. In my old life, the knowledge of having vampires behind me would have unnerved me. But now in this new life all it did was comfort me. My family wouldn't harm me, no, we're meant to protect each other.
All too soon the song ends and the family disperse back into other parts of the house.
"I wrote that long ago, when I would think of you." Edward says standing and walking towards me until we are almost standing nose to nose. "I still fear that you are some sort of dream." He says, his cool breath washing over me. "And if you are a dream I pray to never wake."
Our kiss is gentle, full purely of love.
I have the same fears too Edward. I say to him in my thoughts, not wanting to break the beautiful, wonderful kiss we were currently sharing.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~TIME PASS~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It had been five wonderful years since joining Edward and forming new bonds with a new family. Sometimes I was still in awe to the fact that my perfect angel was there with me, always by my side with promises of never leaving.
I still remember my "hell years" with Maria, but Edward is always there to wrap his arms around me and remind me that that is in the past and that I had nothing to fear.
"Jasper!" Alice's voice yells from the entryway. "Let's go, Luke and Edward are in the car already waiting for us."
I take one last look around the house I had called home for five years. It was the first true home I had since my change.
"I'm coming Alice." I say as I walk out the door, locking it behind me.
Edward sat in the driver's seat of his Volvo; Luke sat in back and Alice was soon joining him, leaving shotgun for me.
"Don't worry love, the next house will feel like home in no time. It's actually a house Carlisle and I occupied a long time ago. I think you will like it, it's completely surrounded by the woods." Edward reassured me as he started to speed off towards our destination. "And this house will always be here, I promise if you ever want, we can come visit it."
The drive for the most part is a quiet one. Alice and Luke spent most of it talking quietly to one another as Edward filled me in on everything I would need to know about this new town.
The City of Forks Welcoms You
The raggedy old welcome sign read as we entered the town of our new home. After driving for hours. A smaller sign next to it showed that the current population was 3,532 people. I almost laughed when I saw it thinking that they will now have to add 8 vampires to their population. WOW a total of 3,540.
Edward I'm worried, what if I slip. You told me about that treaty you have with shifters in the area. If I slip the consequences will be bad. I think to Edward, trying to ignore the thought of 3,532 people being unaware of the danger they will be in, now that I had come to town.
"Jasper, please don't worry so much. You'll be fine." Edward says as our new home comes into view. "Welcome home love." I was at least thankful that we lived a little ways out of town and far away from the area Edward and Carlisle had first met the shifters.
I had nothing to say to his words as he leads me inside and towards what I would assume was to be our room. The bedroom I found was decorated much like our last, since Esme and Carlisle had come here three weeks before I assumed Esme must have done this.
"Eddie, how are you so sure that I won't mess this up?" I say as he pulls me over and down onto a new bed, completely ignoring the big red bow and card that read 'Thought you could put this to good use- Em and Rose' The pair of them had arrived a few days before us and apparently figured we needed a new bed.
"Jazz you haven't slipped since joining our family. We all think that you are ready to join the rest of the family in high school. Jasper I know you are nervous about this, but I also know you want this. Your human life didn't provide you with the education you deserve. Jasper you have always been smart, I know that you will enjoy this opportunity and I will be by your side forever."
Forever. I agree to his last statement as I lean into him and kiss him.
AN: Let me know what you think! ;) PS this is not the end… The first time I posted this it did end here… BUT there will be more. ;)
