Well here's the next chapter. I know it's kind of short but, I've been really busy. I'll try to write you an epic and long next chapter. Hope you enjoy!
Just
one fix
To keep me in the mix
And I'm still strung out on
you
Drove all night
I'm a deer in your headlights
What's
left of me you'll swallow soon
Too much of you is never enough
-- Holly would you turn me on, All time low
I try desperately to clear my head so that I may answer this magnificent creature standing before me. But it was a futile attempt for right when I was about to answer her she smiled again. This time though the smile was different. It was full of pure joy and happiness with not a trace of malice in it. The effect of that small change was unbelievable. Her beauty was surreal. I was dazzled. But, like the idiot that I am I tried to answer her.
"H-h-el-lo. Hello. How do you k-know my name?" I stammered out to her.
Oh great I must be the only vampire to ever stutter. How cruel this world is to me. Then she laughs a beautiful tinkling sound. Even her laugh is familiar. Who is this angel?
"Oh I know everything about you and your family. My name is Ghost by the way." Another seductive smile was directed towards me. What kind of name is Ghost?
" And how did you get this information if I may ask?" No stuttering that time.
"That's easy. Almost every vampire knows about the Cullen's. There's Carlisle the enemy of all evil vampires. And his mate the beautiful and loving Esme. Then there's Emmett one of the strongest vampires of all time and also Rosalie. Gorgeous and vain. Tragic human life if I remember but, then again most of our kind did have tragic ends. There's Alice who is able to tell the future. Edward a bronze haired lovely who reads minds. That half breed Renesmee who looks like both her parents if my information was correct. And then Jacob the shape-shifter. And then there's you. Jasper the empathetic vampire. Tell me can you read my emotions?" Ghost asked.
My mind was still reeling from her knowing so much about her but I did try to read her feelings and I got nothing.
"I can't feel anything from you. Not a single emotion. And now would you please tell me where you found out you information." I asked still in shock.
"Good. And to answer your question I got the information when I worked with the Volturi for awhile. And you know things do get around. Especially since most vampires are gossips."
The Volturi. Wow. Just who is this Ghost and why is she here? Perhaps she's on some sort of mission. Then a question popped out of my lips before I could stop it.
"If you worked with the Volturi then maybe you know what happened to Isabella Swan. If you do please tell me."
A shadow passed across Ghosts features. Her eyes darkened and a scowl graced her face.
"Oh yes. I know what happened to the late Mrs. Swan. Tragic ending indeed if I do remember. I was there. Poor little Bella came to us one day after massacring a whole town. Quite the bloodlust indeed that one had. She begged us to kill her but, we refused. We thought perhaps she might join us as her powers were great. She was the most powerful vampire in history. There will never be one like her again. Oh yes Bella could have been great. She declined the invitation most rudely. We still did not kill her. In her rage she turned on us. Like a starving tiger put into a field full of sheep. She slaughtered us. The whole time she was murdering though she kept saying end me. We had no choice. Once we fought back it was too easy. She gave up instantly. She is nothing but ashes now. Isabella Swan is dead." Ghost told the story in a mocking bitter tone. But, something in her eyes told me that she was keeping something from me.
I didn't want to push though so I kept quiet. Sadness must have shown in my eyes though for suddenly Ghosts face was happy again.
"Don't worry Jasper she died in a noble way. How many vampires are brave enough to take on so many? And she never fled from punishment. In fact she welcomed it."
Wanting to change the subject I asked abruptly:
"Do you still work for the Volturi?"
"Nope. I left them a few years ago. I still visit from time to time though."
"What type of diet do you follow? Since I've never seen eyes like yours before?"
"What is this, the Spanish inquisition? And I drink from humans. Good eating there." Ghost answered proudly.
"Well Ghost if you're going to be staying around here then please refrain from drinking in the immediate area. Well actually since there's no humans here anyways drink all the human blood you can find."
"I plan on it." Again the breathtaking melody of a laugh.
"Would you like to come back to the house? Or do you have somewhere else that your staying?" I asked her politely hoping that she'd come with me.
"Uhmm. I'd like to go with you if that's not too much trouble." She asked shyly.
"None at all. Follow me." I was euphoric. Maybe she'd stay with us permanently. Even though she drinks humans.
I sped past her into the thick forest. I couldn't sense her following me so I looked back. She was right there seeming to lope. I could sense that she was much faster than I was. She followed me so silently that I was sure that she wasn't there. But when I slowed to a stop there she was. A wicked smile on her face. We were almost there just a few more steps and the house would come into view.
"Before you meet the rest of my family would you tell me why you're called Ghost?" I asked her truly curious.
"Well I suspect that you'll find that out soon enough but, I can just sense the curiosity eating you alive. Well old jazzy dear I'm called Ghost simply because of how I ended up once I was turned. No vampire powers work on me at all and as you noticed before if you can't see me straight on then I don't exist. Even my smell disappears if I'm not right in front of you. I'm like a ghost. So when I was part of the Volturi that's what they called me Ghost. And I also couldn't remember my human name. Has your curiosity been satisfied?" Ghost asked me a slight edge to her voice.
"Very much so. Shall we continue? The mansion will be coming into view shortly."
"Let's go cowboy." She answered.
Slowly we walked the rest of the short distance and then intruding our vision was the Cullen mansion. Still beautiful despite it's age. I see that Esme was working on it in my absence. It's fairly clean. I glanced at Ghost and she had an impassive look on her face.
"Just like I remember it." I thought I heard her whisper.
We walked through the door and Jacobs's stench hit our noses. Ghost gagged and I smiled.
"You get used to it after awhile." I told her.
"Oh god I hope so." She said her nose still wrinkled.
If my heart could beat it would have been flying. Did that mean that she was going to stay here? Oh how I hoped so.
There you have it. I bet you're wondering who this mysterious Ghost is. I might tell you next chapter or you might have to wait a few but, don't worry the mystery will be revealed shortly. Hope you enjoyed. Review please.
