Hey guys, sorry it has been a while but i have been busy. I have finally finished my first year in University! yaay :) that is the good news, the bad news is that my laptop decided that it needed to break again, so my laptop has been sent away to be repaired and that means that i will be limited to when and how much i can write because my brother is currently sitting some important exams and needs the computer to revise :( so updates maybe few and far between for all my stories for a while. Oh well, at least i was able to update this one :P.
We havent heard from Jasper in a while, so i thought it would be a good idea to see his POV about some of the stuff that is going on. I'm going to shut up now, and let you get on with reading the chapter :) enjoy!
Jaspers POV
Peter and I watched the girls leave the house. I couldn't believe that he and Charlotte were thinking seriously about changing their diet. I knew only too well how hard it would be, but I knew Peter would never give up on something if he wanted it bad enough, and his only aim in life was to make Charlotte happy and after today's events, Charlottes happiness was top of his and now Bella's list.
"How are you dealing with all this Jazz?" Peter asked from beside me.
"What do you mean how am I dealing with this. Its you who has just gained a mother-in-law." I told him smirking.
"Its cool. I'm sure Bella isn't as bad as some of them. Is she?" he asked suddenly looking worried.
"I don't know. I really wouldn't piss her off if I were you. that women has some serious power up her sleeve. I would hate for you to be on the receiving end of it if you did anything to hurt Charlotte." I said.
"Come on man, if I haven't done anything to hurt Charlotte now after all these years, what is it that I could possibly do to hurt her now. I love her and I would never do anything to hurt her." he told me with sincerity in his eyes.
I knew that he was telling the truth. After being together as long as these too have been, there isn't a lot that they don't know about each other. And I'm pretty sure that Charlotte knew that Peter would never hurt her.
"I guess your right, but just keep your eyes open from now on ok, because there is no way I am standing in the way of Bella when she gets pissed." I told him.
"Oh thanks. Let your closest friend die, and by the hand of your own mate none the less." Peter smirked at me.
I had missed spending time with Peter. I know that I have Emmett and Edward back at the house, but they didn't know me before I met them. Peter has been with me almost from the beginning of everything and sometimes he knew me better than I knew myself.
"Come on. if you are serious about changing your lifestyle, then I suggest we get some practise in. How thirsty are you?" I asked him.
"I wouldn't say no to food right now." he said moving towards me.
"Ok then, lets go. We'll find something nice and easy for you as it is your first time." I said, grabbing my car keys and heading for the door.
"Don't patronise me Whitlock." Was all he said before he followed me out of the door.
Just like I said before we left the house, I found something nice and easy for his first try at this. There was a small group of deer were in a clearing a short distance into the forest grazing happily on the grass. I knew what I was doing, so I told Peter to watch me and then copy when I had caught something.
"It doesn't smell that appetising" Peter said from behind me.
"You get use too it. Actually, thinking about it now I should have found some meat eaters. They smell more like humans do, but for this purpose, blood is blood, so get use to it." I told him.
I heard him grumble behind me but I didn't head any more complaints from him. I listened to the forest around me as I stalked the small herd. They had no idea that I was near them. I began to stalk one of the deer that had moved away from the group and into the thick forest next to the clearing. I could not have been luckier. Now Peter wouldn't have to chase the herd very far, if I could catch this one while it was alone. I quickly caught the animal around the neck and dragged it too the ground. It didn't have chance to make a sound before I bit into its neck. Even though I didn't need to hunt right now, I drained the animal dry of its blood. I glanced back at the herd to see that they had taken no notice of what had just happened. I looked over my shoulder to see Peter watching.
"Right, its your turn now." I told him as I pushed the dead deer away from me and motioned for Peter to have a go.
It was obvious that Peter was not use to this life style. I would have to ask Bella if Charlotte was the same as her mate. Watching Peter chase a deer was like watching a toddler trying to feed its self. Very very messy and very very amusing. I couldn't help but laugh while I watched Peter going after the largest buck in the group, which was obviously too much for him on his first time hunting animals. And since he didn't necessarily need to hunt I thought it would have made more sense for him to go after a smaller animal. Eventually, peter caught the animal and he drained it. Once he was finished, he threw the body off him and came over to stand by me.
"Now I see why you have trouble living the way you do." Peter said making faces of disgust.
"I know it is different. I wonder how Charlotte did with this change. I hope she had a little more dignity that you did." I told him.
Peter kicked me lightly, but when I looked up at him he was smiling.
"It's a lot different to hunting humans. They don't fight so much." Peter said as if it was a proper excuse.
We continued hunting so that Peter would getting the hang of it.
"Jasper!" i heard someone calling me from somewhere in the forest. I knew who it was instantly, and turned around to look for him. Before I could even call back to him, I was tackled to the ground. I jumped up and was instinctively into a crouch and looked around for my brother. I heard his smug laughter up in the air somewhere. Edward was there sitting on one of the branches of the tree above me.
"You're really easy to attack when you are pre-occupied Jazz" Edward said jumping down from the tree.
"Well I'm sorry, I will be more aware of surprise attacks from you lot." I said getting up from the crouch that I was still in.
Edward walked over to peter and said hello to him.
"Where is Charlotte?" Edward asked.
"She is out with Bella. I assume your Alice has filled you in on the latest scandal." Peter smirked.
"Of course she did. If fact I wouldn't be surprised if the whole state heard her when she found out." Edward said rubbing the back of his neck.
"That honestly doesn't surprise me." Peter said.
"Where is Alice by the way?" I asked looking around me, expecting the little pixie to jump out at me soon.
"She went with Emmett looking for Bella." Edward said.
So they were all here. I had no doubt in my mind that Alice would assault Bella with questions about Charlotte as soon as she was given half a chance.
"Maybe I should at least attempt to save Bella from Alice and her questions." I sad as I turned around running into the forest looking for Bella. It didn't take me long at all to find Bella.
She was leaning against her car with Alice and Emmett on either side of her. Once she saw me her face lit up and she smiled.
"Alice, I do hope you are not making too much of a pain of yourself." I asked her.
"Of course not Jasper. Well not yet anyway, we are waiting till we go back to the house for Bella to explain everything." Alice said.
I sighed and walked over to Bella.
"I think everything is pretty much self explanatory Alice." I told my sister as I pulled Bella into my chest.
"Yes i know, but i want to know what happened when Charlotte realised. That i didn't see." Alice told me.
Bella moved closer into my chest as I held her tighter to me.
"Alice, if Bella doesn't want to tell you this story, then you really shouldn't make her." I told her.
Alice looked disappointed and hung her head.
"No Jasper its fine. I'll tell her if she wants to know. Which she obviously does." Bella told me.
I knew that Alice would get this out of Bella eventually, i just didn't want her to feel uncomfortable with it.
Soon we all decided to head back to the house so that we would be a little more comfortable.
"Mama, do you mind if Peter and I go off for a while. I don't think i want to face everyones questions when my own haven't been answered yet." Charlotte asked Bella.
"Of course you can. Just come back to the house when you are ready." Bella said allowing her daughter and Peter to go off on their own.
We all ran back to the house and sat down and waited for Bella to tell her story again.
Bella's POV
I would always be happy to see Alice and everyone else, but sometimes that damn pixies visions were a pain. Ok, I know I would have had to tell her everything sometime, but I didn't expect that she would turn up so soon after I had found out and accepted it myself.
As soon as we got back to the house, everyone sat down on the sofas next to their partners and waiting for me to start.
I told them about how Peter and Charlotte had ended up in the house and then what actually happened after we had both realised who we were. I spared some of the shouting that went on between us. After I had finished with the details I opened the floors to questions that I knew everyone was trying so hard to keep in. Of course Alice was the first one to ask something.
"So what you going to do now?" She asked me.
"What do you mean?"
"Well obviously I know you are going to keep you are going to keep your relationship up with her, but how are you going to do it with your diets so different?"
Obviously Alice hadn't been keeping track when she had seen us two in the forest.
"Well, Peter and Charlotte have both decided that they would like to try our way of life for a while, just to see if they are able to do it. I would never make Charlotte change who she is just because of how I live." I told her.
She seemed to accept that as a suitable answer because after that she was quiet.
Emmett asked questions like 'how did I never know that she was still alive?'
"Well I don't know Em. Maybe because I left for over 130 years. I never expected one of my children to turn into a vampire now did I?"
"Yeah I know, but surly a mother would know something like that?" he asked.
I didn't know how to answer him about that, because I knew that if there was any chance that I had known my daughter was still around in the last 130 years, then I would have gone looking for her.
We had been sitting in my living room for a while before I realised that Carlisle and Esme were not with the rest of the group.
"Where is Carlisle?" I asked Alice.
"Oh, he and Esme went out of town for a few days." Alice explained.
I asked how Carlisle and Esme were since I hadn't seen or spoken to them since the last time they came to my house.
Suddenly there was a loud knocking on the door. I excused myself from everyone and went to get it.
Jason was at the door panting, looking like he had just run a marathon.
"Jason! What's the matter?" I asked him.
"Bella, I need your help?" he asked me, still panting.
What has happened :/. Well you are going to have to wait until i actully write it to find out. You know what to do to make me update faster. Reviews people. they show me how much you love the story and well, im not going to let you down if you enjoy it so much.
