Promise Me All Your Tomorrows

Jasper

I watched and followed this beautiful blue eyed creature as she made her way down to the ponds. Silently I followed behind her. I had so many questions. Biggest question I had was Bella okay? She walked out to the little prier as the sun was setting. Across from the ponds the sky was bathed in colors of purples. blues, yellows, red and oranges. This is my favorite place in the world. Something inside me swelled with pride watching her admire it. I watched as she bended down and touched the pond and run her hand through the water. I swear if I didn't know better I would have thought the water looked more blue now than it did before she touched it. "Jasper I know you have a ton of questions. And I will answer them to the best of my ability but I need to ask some things of you first." She said without looking at me till she finished then those eyes bore through me. I know these eyes from somewhere.

I just looked at her. What could she possible want with me. I just looked at her and nodded my head.

"I need you to remain as calm as you can. We are attached you and I." She heisted lingering for a moment. Why was she hesitating? Was she waiting to see my reaction? I tried my best to remain as calm as I could. "Through Bella. And I promise you, I am just as protective of her as you are. Her safety is the reason I am here at the moment. There are things you will understand shortly that will enlighten you about how Bella's safety effects all of our entire future." She turned to face the pond again.

How was Bella going to effect our entire future? Where was Bella anyway? Who is the woman standing before me if she isn't Bella? Relax Jasper remember to breath.

"Finally some of the things I tell you must be kept from everyone including Bella until the time is right. Can you promise me that Jasper?"

Something made me feel like I would promise her anything. I smiled at her and shook my head. The mate bond is so tight that I couldn't say no to her even if I wanted to. She smiled then laughed. "Jasper I can hear you?" Wait! What did she say? Did I say something out loud? "No Jasper I can hear your thoughts." How? Who are you? She smiled and said " Let's try something I will think my name. You say it out loud when you hear it."

With that she got a serious look on her face and looked me straight in the eye. I stared back at her. What was her game? Who was she? Think Major! Then I heard this musical voice say inside my head. Man do you ever give it a rest. A girl can't get a word in edgewise. I give her a questioning look . Bingo! I think we have a winner. Major! I kind a of like that actually. Now I am not playing games I am trying to help. I promise. Now I actually have many names but the one you know me by is…..Gaia. The last sounded like a whisper but my heart told me it was Gaia. She had said Gaia. How was she her and where was Bella? I whispered back, "Gaia you are Gaia. But how I don't understand. How are you here now?"

"Well some pesky Major had to push Bella with using fire and she was at the point where she could not handle using fire and it sent her into my world. So I met her and we talked a little. I tried to explain things to her without overwhelming her. I stressed for her to stop fire training. I know you think that it will solve your problems but let me be honest here. Fire is destructive and it is not something Bella can do even when she is changed. Fire is a strong element that is true but my magic was never meant to be destroy everything. Gosh so much to explain to you Jasper. But much of what I tell you and show you cannot be repeated especially to Bella. Jasper let's sit and I will tell you my story. The story of my life."

We walked to the closest bench and sit down. I was feeling great sorrow and sadness coming from her. "It is hard to explain where I am from it is best to just say I was born in another place and time. Somewhere magic is admired and sought out. Not always by good people for good reasons. My father was a good kind man that wanted to make his only daughter happy and encouraged her magical ability and he paid dearly for that encouragement." Her heart was racing. I had to relax her a little. I sent calm waves her ways. "Thank you. I needed that." Did she really just let me help her?

She smiled weakly, nodded slightly and said, "Where to begin?" She stopped I sent her some strength and encouragement I knew since we were linked mentally I would need to be silent and just listen for now. " My father was a powerful wizard. He was one of the senior wizards to the king. But he grew tried of the destruction he was causing in the name of honor and walked away from the governing establishment when I was born. This didn't make him an enemy of the king. But it upset other wizards that he had worked with their secrets. I have 2 older bothers Ichneutae, and Doron . My father said a son has your heart but a daughter captures your soul. We had all inherited my father's gifts of magical abilities with my abilities being the strongest of us three He became concerned that we would be snapped up if we did magic out in the open. So he created a safe place for us to go practice skills without fear. He give us a place to practice our skills and grew up without fear of retaliation. One day he heard they were looking for fire starters. He panic because he knew my fire magic was strong and decided to limit my fire ability. 'Too Dangerous' he said then laughed while patting me on the head." She rolled her eyes before continuing. Now to explain this next part she thought and looked at me for help. I smiled and said straight forward always works for me darling. I sent her more calm and encouragement. I needed to hear this story.

"Now it wasn't always just me and my brothers, my bothers had a good friend named Ares. He went everywhere we went. We all grew up together. We would spend hours inside this magic bubble thinking and building this fantastic world. Days exploring this wonderful new world. Made from love and magic. All the different animals and creatures that was made. My bothers loved them all. Ares was all about the land, the mountains and the lakes. I can still hear them say Gaia make this animal or that river. Can you move that mountain. It was endless hours of fun for all of us. I was better at creating things then them. Creating and making things was my specialty. And they especially loved it when I would develop something new. And I loved making them happy." She stopped for a moment and looked me directly in the eye before continuing.

"Ares and me grew closer over time. Much to my brothers objections at first, we fell in love. Ares asked me to marry him." she looked at me and smiled. "The day of our wedding my father gave my fire ability to Ares as a gift and told him to protect me and cherish me as he had. Dad always put a hard twist to things though what should be easy never was. For Ares to use fire, he needed to be near me, we had to touch for it to work, and say this weird magical spell together. Dad thought two heads would be better than one in what could be a dangerous situation. He said if you ever use fire it was always a dangerous situation. When it came to the fire ability, he was super cautious and wanted us to be as well." She looked at me again pleading like. Did she want me to hear her in my head? Or did I need to remember something?

"Dad kept the magical space and all that was inside after the wedding. We continued to go there to create and explore. Dad said strongest user was a well practiced user. We lived through all we created. We were free there. The ability to be ones true self is so very intoxicating. To be young and in love and happy." she said as the feeling and memory moved across her mind. They seemed to move across mine. How do I know these memories? "We were so very happy but you know what they say. Complete total happiness doesn't last And it didn't. Fate is a cruel mistress. And she was here there to collect and then some. See some of my healing abilities in my village had caught the attention of a very powerful black wizard named Magapenthes."

She paused and I could see her eyes were now filled with tears. I sent her courage so she could to go on. I knew this was important and I wanted to help her to finish. She sent me a knowing smile before she went on. "He became obsessed with me and vowed to make me his. My father helped hide me out in the magical space he made for us as children. He was hoping the black wizard would lose interest and leave us alone after awhile. But the black wizard did not lose interest and he figured out where I was hiding eventually. He surprised Ares, Ichneutae and me there one day. The wizard was very angry. He banded our hands with magical ties and covered our mouths as soon as he entered the space. He didn't want us to say spells or use any other abilities to get away. Before we knew what had happened we were cornered and could not escape. He just laughed at the "pitiful little world" we had created. He looked around our world and then announced that the most powerful predator was not there. Then he created vampyre as he called it and placed it on the earth. He then placed a spell on his creation so that the only thing able to destroy it was for the pieces of its body to be separated and burned. He stood back and smiled at what he created. Proud of himself. "After all, there is only the strong in the end." He said. Then he turned his evil attentions to me. He told me that my father was dead. My heart felt that it had to be true or he would never have gotten in here. I watched in horror as he trapped my bother inside one of the "stupid little monkeys". Humans is what my father called them. They were one of the few things my father created for this world. My brother loved them so much. And the black wizard placed him inside one of them with out blinking an eye. We were going to be trapped in a world I had created. I felt sick. Then the wizard turned back to Ares and me. He said a spell that would keep us separated unless certain conditions were met. He refused to tell us what the conditions were. We watched as he created this magical book that would hold all the secrets to undoing the spells he had placed on my family. He made this into a game. It broke my heart. Then he spoke some language I didn't know over the book, I think it was a spell, and then he locked the book with this special key. After he locked the book he took the book and key and threw them in different directions onto the earth.

Ares fought hard and grew very angry. The wizard just laughed and told him to hold on to his angrier that he would need that angry and hatred in the next world if he was to become the mighty General when the conditions were right. He then trapped Ares in a limbo like place where he would wait to be reborn.

This was all my fault. I had to remain calm. I would figure out someway to help those I loved. I thought quick and hard. I come up with a spell to say if I got the chance. Finally the wizard took off the restraint to my mouth when he wanted to ask me something. I had to keep him talking and wait for a moment to say my spell. I prayed that it worked. My spell was simple but complicated. I wanted my family to remember me when they met me again and to keep their own unique gifts. You see we all had been born with our own individual talents. Shall we say? I didn't want us to lose them because I knew keeping them would be important. I knew we needed a protection spell added in as well. I also wanted to be heard by the people that would be important to me in finding my brother and husband. I just need for them to be able to hear the sound of my voice and stay alive. Because the crazy black wizard told me he was creating this place, this void, where I was to remain for eternity if the conditions were not met. So being able to communicate was important for our survival. My spell only contained 08 words Know me, protect me, hear me, and keep me. I eventually said them when I thought I could get away with it. Oh the wizard heard me, but he laughed and called me a spoiled self centered child. After all prayers were not going to work. He told me. He took my spell and laughed it off as a pray for someone to help me. Then he placed me in the void. Where I have remained till today."

She stopped and looked at me. She was giving me time to digest things. Letting me connect the dots. Suddenly as if I had been propelled out of a cannon. I knew what she wasn't saying out loud but wanted me to know. I was Ares. I was her Ares. She reached and took my hand. "Yes Jasper." In a second, my eyes went blue for a moment and everything rushed at me, every feeling, every taste, every smell, every touch and every sound. I knew the whole story through her touch. I was Ares reborn. He had loved Gaia so much so completely. They were connected with such a bond. It was even stronger bond than the vampire mating bond. Gosh feeling their love was like feeling a universe burst inside of me.

We sit there for a moment not saying a word just letting feelings flow between us. I was projecting to her and she was projecting towards me. This was bliss on levels I didn't know before. She suddenly shifted like she knew something was happening. "Jasper if I ask you to trust me will you." Of course I thought back. "Jasper there is something only you can know now and it is important. Jasper you can not be damaged by fire. Because of Ares fire ability it can never destroy you. To die your body must be grinded to dust, even then you will be reborn. You vowed to always come looking for me. For all of eternity, if it took it. I thought for a moment. So I can do fire? She smiled and shook her head. "Jasper see that log. Give me your hand." We stood and turned to face the log. She grabbed my hand and whispered in my ear in a musical voice. "My songs know what you did in the dark." I looked at her strangely. I knew this. Where had I heard this? She said it again and this time I repeated what she had said to her. She then said "Light em up." I looked at my hands they were glowing hot blue red from the fire coming off of them. I ignited the log with only a thought. Holy shit that was wild! With that Gaia dropped my hand and the connection with her was lost I looked at my hands and they had returned to normal. Jasper this power is why we must tell no one about it. At least not yet. It is also why Bella must let go of the hatred that burns inside her. You know the anger that swells in you when you become the Major. We would destroy the world with our anger and regret if I enter Bella's body permanently with her heart full of anger and revenge. No matter what we feel. The people of this world deserve to live. I understood what she was saying. I had to help Bella let go of the anger and the revenge. If we were to all to survive, helping Bella to become who I needed her to be was very important. She was my conscious. Both of us couldn't go crazy with revenge and set the world to flame.

I looked at Gaia longingly. I was still feeling some of Ares thoughts and he wanted to hold her and feel her next to me. Wait I know feeling, this was the major. Was the Major, Ares? I looked at. She nodded. I reached for her hoping to silence the Major. "Jasper we must not do this because of Bella's human state. I do not want Bella hurt no matter what." I dropped her and stepped away putting some distance between us but staying close to her if she needed me. "sorry I know it was a lot to drop on you." She suddenly went ridged on alert.

"Jasper someone is coming." I jumped up and stood in front of her. It was only Carlisle coming to tell me he had asked Dannie to go to her parents for the night. Apparently Alice had left Aro's and was coming home with one of the guard and the book. He wanted Dannie safe until we figured out what was going on. Gaia and I looked at each other when he mentioned a book. Could this be our book?

I turned and looked at her. Blue eyed beauty she was. How could I hide her from the guard with these haunting blue eyes smiling at them? How would Aro not see this and not know she was different. Aro didn't need to know about Gaia. Its will be ok Jasper. Trust me. She thought. I smiled at her and thought with my life love. With my life. I knew it was true when I had touched her hand I saw everything through her eyes. Right now all I wanted to do was to take her in my arms and hold her. It had been a millennium since Ares had held Gaia and he so wanted to hold her. So bad he could taste it. We will have time for that.

"Carlisle I know you have questions and I promise to answer them to the best of my ability once our guest arrive." Gaia told him. He looked at the burning log and then at me curiously. He wanted me to give him a sign some how about what was going on and if it was going to be ok. I smiled, nodded, and reached for Gaia hand without thinking. My eyes turned blue in front of him as soon as I touched her. Carlisle jumped back and shouted "What the holy hell Jasper?" Gaia dropped my hand instantly and Carlisle looked back and forth between us confused. As the connection was lost between us, Carlisle watched in amazement as my eyes went back to the normal amber color. In all of the confusion, we didn't here the dark black Lincoln pulled in the driveway. Alice came bouncing out of the car. I stepped in front of Gaia to shield her if need be. Then I watched in horror as it wasn't just any member of the guard it was Demetri. Shit this was bad! It was really bad!

An author note: I do not own Twilight or the characters: I just like to play in their world from time to time. Gosh this was a hard chapter to write. Not because no thoughts came to me. Only because I wanted to get this chapter right. I hope I did. I didn't put Alice and Demetri or what Bella is doing in this chapter because I felt like this needed to be on its on and in Jaspers POV. Hope I didn't disappoint. I listen to music when I write. Each song goes with its own character or a certain scene or feeling. I hear a song sometimes and it helps me write. Sometimes I know when I will need the song sometimes I just know it is for the story. Like the Major song is most definitely My songs know what you did in the dark. If you look at the lyrics it fits this story and what I want to do with the story. Leave me some ideas of what you think is going on with Demetri why did he help Alice and what is Bella doing and if you know where is she in the time system? Thanks for reading my story. Will write soon. Much love Dena
