Chapter Nineteen
Just as soon as I went under, I surfaced again. The light was so bright it blinded me. So strange.
" I'm fine." I muttered, mostly to myself. I didn't know where I was. Something was nagging at the back of my mind, something that was itching to be known.
" Bella. Darling, are you alright?" I heard Jaspers honey southern accented voice. I smiled and squinted my eyes open so I could see his handsome face. " Are you alright?" He asked, seeing my eyes.
" I'm fine." I repeated, trying to be patient with him.
" Thank goodness." He sighed with relief. " You're not dizzy? Or shaken?" I felt him shift.
" No. I told you, Jasper. I'm fine."
" Ok." Then I was attacked with his lips. I smiled and kissed him back. I closed my eyes, falling into his love, letting it fold over me like a blanket.
Of course the nagging would catch up to me and make me remember it.
I gasped with the shock of the fresh memory.
We were still at the Cullens. I opened my eyes, and ignored the bright light. They, the Cullens not including Alice, stood around Jasper and me on the couch. They all wore a worried expression.
" How often does this happen?" Carlisle asked, he had slipped into doctor mode.
" Not often." I said sitting up.
" No. It's been happening more frequent lately. Ever since we fought that one time." Jasper corrected me lovingly. That matter, the fight that is, is still tender to us.
" Do you have an idea what's behind it?" Carlisle asked, staring into my eyes.
" No." Jasper said.
" Actually," I cut him off. " I think it happens when I'm angry. See… when I get angry I have an intense blood lust. I'm guessing that if I don't get the needed blood… I'll faint." This was the first I told Jasper of this. He seemed to think about it for a moment before looking at me. I sent him an apology, and he smiled, telling me he wasn't mad at me.
" Hmm. Could be. It seems that you are quite the vampire Bella." Carlisle said. It seemed he was apologizing to me with his kind words. I didn't know how to react. Was it pity he felt for me, or was it just curiosity? His aura was just a blinding white- as a matter of fact everyone's was a blinding white. Perhaps that is what hurt my eyes.
"Thank you- all of you- for allowing us into your home." I smiled kindly- trying to make up for what had happened earlier. I didn't need to be fainting again. "But I really should hunt. Then… I think Jasper and I should leave it get back to our coven."
"Oh! But Bella do you really need to leave?" Esme cried out.
"Exile is exile. Isn't that correct Carlisle? And we've got a small family waiting for our return." I stood up and wobbled a little.
"Bella really needs to hunt. This is good bye till we can meet up again." Jasper backed me up. He helped to support me with his arms around my waist as I wobbled more.
"Take care of her Jasper." Rosalie spoke up. Jasper nodded to his once twin sister.
"Give us your number dear- we'll call and keep in touch." Esme handed me a piece of paper and a pen. I wrote our number down and our address.
"Call anytime. The kids are still going to school- so if you want to talk to them- call after three." I smiled and kissed Esme cheek. "I love you, mom."
After all the good byes' were complete and done with Jasper and I left.
Epilogue
Though I've had a hard life- and my mate has had a hard life- we've got each other. And really- when it boils down to the essential- that's all that is needed. I've got my Jasper and he's got me.
Since that day with the Cullen's we've visited and they've visited. The boys absolutely love them- Emmett and Esme the most though.
Alice went missing after Carlisle and the others exiled her. We think she went to the Volturi and joined them- finally taking up their invitation. We haven't heard from her- or the vampire royalty.
So though this is a story that is filled with so much hate and torture and just a far out there plot line… it all ends happily. You see… you can read and see what will happen next in this story. But when I was living it… I didn't see any of this happening. I couldn't even picture it. But I guess that's why I chose this name- Unseen Love.
I hope you all enjoyed my little life story- and with one final thing to say to you;
This is not the end of my story.
I leave you with that- and hope to all see you're beautiful words again. Have a wondrous life and don't forget to leave your mind open to things like love- because you never know when it will sneak up on you. (o_O)
