Previously in Jasper's P.O.V.: ….
"When we leave why don't you three come with us, your sister two we have room at our place." I suggested to Sam before I heard Seth shouting with excitement. But those died down quickly when my phone rang, and it was Charlie's number on the screen.
Now on with the story
Jasper's P.O.V.:
I picked up the phone quickly. Since Charlie never called me when he was visiting Harry and Sue Clearwater who were Leah and Seth's parents. "Jasper are Leah and Seth with you? Something happened and no one can find them." Charlie sounded worried. Man was I happy that Bella and Victoria were out for the day in Seattle. I handed the phone to Leah with out thinking about it.
"Charlie? What happened?" Leah questioned and I heard Charlie breathe a sigh of relief from the other end of the phone.
"Leah thank goodness you and Seth are safe. Billy and Jacob have completely lost their minds over this. Since I came to say goodbye to your parents today. The Blacks showed up and started yelling at them. Something about since they supported Bella and my choice to leave, they were a thereat for the res. Then the blacks killed them I'm sorry, but you'll have to stay with Jasper for now." Charlie spoke He was so close to retirement, and this happened. I also guess that the Clearwater kids will be stayin' with me now. Leah talked to Charlie for a bit longer before hangin' up the phone. Seth made himself comfortable on the couch, but Leah made her way to the home gym to blow off steam after handin' me my phone.
I called Eleazar he must be worryin' about Tanya and Kate anyway since they haven't called him since New years. After he answered and I told him that the girls were fine they met their mates that's why they didn't return he calmed down. I told him that a friend and I were going to need some help and my siblings are busy cleanin' up after Edward. Thankfully he said to give him a few days. Unfortunately, when I considered callin' Maggie from Ireland Peter texted me sayin' Nina has her watchin' some newborns to help with the separation anxiety she's been gettin' and I knew which ones Nina had Maggie lookin' after. Carmen was being foolish with this plan of hers since no one other than Peter and Char and Emmett and Rose have completed the mating bond so of course my little sister is havin' separation anxiety, wouldn't surprise me if Jane and I forgot the other girl's name were sufferin' two. Carmen got out of this by havin' Graham with her. And those other two boys also get out of it because they are together. Sure, Niamh can block out her emotions when she feels like it, she's been doing it since she met Maria that bitch.
I remember it like it was yesterday. Back in the newborn army days a few weeks after I came back with Niamh, Carmen, and Peter. The bitch that was Maria thought it was a good idea for me to read them after she attacked them. Peter and Carmen were mad and protective of Nina and each other while Nina hummed, and I couldn't feel a Fuckin' thing off her. She was on auto pilot I think but I was proven wrong as the longer I looked at her I got hungry even though I just ate. Again, when we were human Nina didn't always give the correct emotional responses for example Peter fell off his horse once and Nina just focused on hers instead of askin' Peter if he was alright. Over the years livin' with Carlisle, I learned that while talkin' about Nina to him that She showed signs of what is known now as Autism. So, it makes sense that over the past hundred years she has gotten better at what was that word Carlisle used again masking I think it was. Carlisle also warned me about this Nina's stress and anxiety levels could rise, she could also become depressed, she could become exhausted more often, there was also something about lost identity but what scared me the worst was an increased rick of suicidal thoughts on top of all that there was the possibility of Autistic burnout. Did I really change that much that she felt that she had to hide from me and asked Carmen, Peter, and Char that she's doing it? No, I must be over thinkin' this right?
Sorry I have no idea how my mind went there and if Nina ever reads this, I'm sure she'll go after me for thinkin' she's autistic and just maskin'. So, after my mind wondered off, I went to get rooms ready for Leah and Seth. Just a few more weeks than we'll get out of this town. I don't know if we will come back here eventually, I mean with all the problems we had here I wouldn't be surprised if they didn't wat to come back for a while if ever. Also, I have some of the same mannerisms as my sister when something bothers me, I start runnin' my hand through my hair this has been increasin' since Carmen told me back in February what her plan was. On top of the mess that was Jacob Black if I had been human, I would be losin' hair by how much my hand has been runnin' through my hair. I think this is why I decided to learn guitar so I couldn't do it as often and why Niamh likes to learn a whole lot of musical instruments and languages. But my mind is still fractured thanks to that bitch the voice was back I've been good at ignoring it and I haven't needed to be my other side since January but he's stirrin' up trouble and he has a list. I also made a room for Sam just to keep my hands busy and it was gettin' late. Maybe I should try those breathin' exercises Nina uses to keep her mind clear when things get too much for her. It's subconscious I know it is, but she normally sets some calming music from a game on her phone and does that for a while. I might go with nature sounds and guitar while I try. "Sam why don't you call your ma and ask her if you can stay here tonight, and we'll think of a plan in the mornin"." I told him handing him my phone before showing Seth his room. Seth unfortunately was observant and noticed something was off with me.
"Thank you, Jasper. But I think you need some time alone you look like you're going to snap. "Seth yawned out before getting into the bed, so I said goodnight to him and went to my room. I sat on my bed for hours tryin' that breathin' exercise. But of course, it didn't work.
Once Seth and Leah were up, we went over to Bella's only to find out that she wasn't there, but Victoria was. Sam came over before long the poor boy ran here. Victoria made enough food for the three of them and there was still no sign of Bella or Charlie. "Bella went to pick Charlie up when we got back and didn't return, I have no clue why." Victoria said sadly. This must be hard for her she hasn't heard from her friend in months and now her boyfriend and his daughter go missin'. My expression was grim and hard. I nodded before getting some pencils and paper and started planning. I have officially snapped the major was out to play again since Bella and Charlie were threated. And since Nina isn't around to burst my ears or has a phone to talk me down the Blacks will pay for killin' Harry and Sue Clearwater then holdin' Bella and Charlie hostage.
Nina's P.O.V.:
Fucking Ifreann, sorry I'll translate from Irish fuckin hell. Carmen ratted us out and our plans to the other members of the faculty, so they sent me to Greece to have Paper star kill me. Merda sorry I'll translate again when my plans go sideways, I start cursing and I have a large library of them in multiple languages. Merda is Italian for Shit. And they want to use me as an example to the boys and Sheena, so the fuckers have them watching this. I'm so lucky that I thought of this possibility, so I had the jacket on, my hair braided out of my face, and I was grinning like the motherfucking Cheshire cat. We planned this during breakfast since We went hunting to make sure I was at full strength.
Time for my acting skills to come in handy. I'm going to lose then use my power the entire way back. The stuff I "stole" was moved to Riley and Bree's since Dash texted Maggie last night saying that I wanted it out of there if something happened to me. I would then silently kill go-go boots paper star and frame the mime before taking Sonia. But I might also kill a few others like an invisible ninja. A vampire ninja any way I can't make this easy for go-go boots. Her last shot will just be lucky, and I will hold my breath. Temporally of course since I can disappear and run in the matter of seconds. So just to be a Perra sorry Maria called me that once and I found out when I actually to the time to learn Spanish that she was calling me a bitch. Takes one to know one but she was way worse than I could be. Back to go-go boots since they apparently never made language a requirement, I decided to mess with her.
"Hey go- go boots, tu es une pute. Un désastre de la mode, et n'avez aucun talent puisque vous laissez un gâchis partout où vous volez. Pendant que je suis calme comme un fantôme et belle. "I stated and that set her off since she had no idea what I said to her in French. To put it simply I bashed her outfit, called her talentless, and a bitch before bosting about myself. I heard John-Paul laughing at what I said, and He translated for the others before they started laughing as well. I pretended to be distracted as Paper star attacked me first with one of her paper throwing stars, she cut my cheek and I grinned. I started humming as I caught the next one and made it look like I cut my hand on it accidently.
My plan was working perfectly every time I caught one of those throwing stars, I hurt myself some how or I would miss and would get hurt some how. I took Jasper's jacket off when I insulted her, I knew that if I ruined this, he would rip into me. I started singing in French as I started kneeling over. "I'm coming Grandpa Alexander and grandpa Wesley. Je suis désolé mes frères et soeur je vous ai laissé tomber. Adios mis amigos."I said falling to my side taking one deep breath I didn't close my eyes just held my breath. But I could hear the boys and Sheena dry sobbing on the other side of the phone since I made an emotional goodbye and had Jean-Paul and Antonio translate. So let me translate for you the French part was I'm sorry my brothers and sister I've failed you. While the Spanish part meant goodbye my friends. I did a good enough damage to go-go boots while we were fighting but I had to lose. The good news about them thinking that I was dead was I could break the radio silence and call Victoria and Jasper. Jessie was dead but here's the problem with ghost they haunt their place of death or their killers, or an object that belonged to them. And what do you know Paper star took my well Jasper's jacket. Time to haunt her. The ghostly phoenix siren is coming after V.I.L.E. for Killing Jessie but again Jessie wasn't real to begin with was she.
I was loaded on to the helicopter where I didn't move the entire trip back, but Paper star kept barraging to the others that she killed me. They were wearing masks showing anger and acceptance. They closed my eyes I felt the contacts dissolve I know what color my eyes will be when I open them simple hazel, but one would appear more brown and the other would appear more green. Sheena changed me into something more comfortable when she could, and she hand me her phone. I called Riley to tell him I was fine and would see him soon. Sonia was brought down by Gray, and she hugged me. She had her bag and was ready to leave.
"Your eyes are interesting but let's go." Sonia pointed out offering her arm to me. I covered our group and Jean-Paul lifted Sonia while Antonio lifted me much to my protests. When we got to Where Riley, Bree, Jane, Maggie, and Ben were I was falling asleep I needed food and blood. I uncovered us after making sure we weren't followed. "Nina how are you doing my beautiful girl?" Riley asked as he took me from Antonio.
"Honestly like shit I haven't eaten all day and I lost enough blood to last me about a month and a half." I sighed as he took me inside and invited Sonia with us. Riley got me some blood and put it in a smoothie cup, so I wasn't asked about it. I sat on the couch and looked at my stuff thinking about what to do with it first I'm going to need clothes. And preferably white dresses to pull off the whole ghost thing. I was defo going back to blonde after I get my sister back and no dark blue ever again in my hair.
"Sonia this is Riley my boyfriend who my brothers and sister approve of very much, those are, Jane she is Sheena's girlfriend, Bree who is dating Dash, Maggie is a family friend from Ireland, and Ben is a friend of hers from Egypt. Now I'm sure you have lots of questions and Jane, Maggie, Ben and I will do our best to answer them." I explained as my phone went off it was probably Aro making sure I was dead, so I handed the phone to Jane. She pretended to be upset over this before hanging up. She then took Sheena and went into the kitchen to make Sonia and I something to eat.
"Food for the human and Minerva… sorry Nina I was trying to find a nickname for you I thought the roman goddess of Wisdom would suit you but not quite, so I'll keep thinking." Jane spoke as she placed food in front of Sonia and I, but did it smell better than anything I had to eat in the last few months other than my Birthday of course. Sonia raised an eyebrow at the human comment though. We ate in silence I stopped with the I don't care attitude those creeps still had my sister after all.
"First thing you should know is that my real name is Nina, Jessie is my middle name so we thought it would be a smart move to use that to go with my plan. Second thing you should know is that I lied about not getting along with my brothers, I was mad at them for something before I got here. The last thing is that I never mentioned my sister because you already met her it's the lady in red and I need to get her back." I explained after we ate before we got to the questions though my eyes were both more green now that I ate and had blood.
"Okay, I want the truth since you have hazel eyes that change color, your boyfriend has orange ones, some of the others have golden ones and the others have red while your sister has grey ones why?" Sonia asked well at least she started with those and not something else. Like what's going to happen to her now?
"We aren't human… Maggie and I haven't been for a while years. Same goes with Jane. But I think Nina's family history is hers to tell. But Bree, Riley, the boys, and Shenna only a few months November, I think. Nina is just special one of the few we've met who kept a human eye color. Her sister has this power to appear normal so why not go with gray eyes, our eyes our just reflections of our diets, red eyes are the meat eaters, gold eyes are the vegetarians, and orange eyes like Riley are the ones who do both veggie and meat diets." Ben Explained for me but I had to add one thing.
"My eyes also change dependin' on how I'm feelin' for example now they look more green because I'm happy but when I get sad, they appear more blue or when I get mad, they appear more brown. But if I feel two emotions strong enough, they would appear two different colors." I added after the fact Riley sighed remembering this. Sonia nodded.
"What's your story Nina? Will you tell me?" Sonia asked me and I felt Riley grip me harder. He didn't like this story since it was traumatizing for me. But I know I'm more than that sure I find it hard to talk about, but I should talk about my family's time with her. I ran a hand through my hair and sighed.
"Riley I'll be fine Uncle Carlisle said I should talk about it eventually sweety and she's gone she can't hurt me anymore. So can you get me some tea with sugar ask Ben if you need help okay." I told him tryin' to get him to calm down and we sat as he got up to get me my drink. Ben asked Sonia if she wanted anything to drink, she replied with just water.
"So, my story isn't a pretty one did you want me to sugar coat it for you or tell you straight? Since I told Riley straight and he's not happy at the bitch who is the villain of this story. And he had the unpleasant experience of meeting her in fact. She was the one who did this to Dash and Bree and almost everyone in this room has met her." I ran my hand through my hair again and started fidgeting with my shirt sleeve after speaking.
"Tell me straight. How bad could it be? Did she sleep with your brothers or something?" Sonia told me as Riley sat next to me again handing me my tea. I took a deep breath of the floral aroma of roses, Jasmine, and Lavender. I let out a sigh because I actually walked in on them once needless to say that things were awkward between Jasper and I for a while. Maybe that's why he was nice to me.
"One of them and there's or something bit trust me." Dash blurted out and Bree smacked his arm for that. I took a sip of my tea I guess she still talked about my brother. Sonia looked like she wanted to laugh and ask for details but that wasn't what we were talking about.
"Thank you kindly Dash I already knew that… Anyway, I'm guessin' they don't teach ya about American history down in Mexico." I said questionly and Sonia shook her head. I told her a bit about the civil war what it was about. She of course didn't understand why I was explaining this to her.
"Well let's just say the lady in scarlet and I are older than we look. The only one of us out of my siblings and I who remember our birth year is the brother who dragged my sister, other brother, and I into this. And he was born in 1844 and he was three years older than I was, so we believe I was born in 1847, our other brother we think was born in 1839, and our sister was born 1840. Again, other than the one born in 1844 we're just guessin' based off our ages compared to him. So, the four of us were born and raised in Huston, Texas. My brothers Peter the oldest and Jasper who was born in 1844 were sweet and would do anythin' to get my sister and I to smile. But that's not what I was talkin' about was it? When the war broke out our pa died before then, Peter who is in his twenties got sick and couldn't fight. So, it was up to Jasper who was only Seventeen to go fight. Over two years we got letters and a few visits from him but that changed shortly before his twentieth birthday.
Officers returned his horse telling us he died with the rank of Major. I was hopeful that my brother would return to us…." I started telling my story and my eyes started going to look more blue in color so I took a sip of tea trying to change my thoughts.
"What happened then?" Sonia questioned and I took a deep breath to sort out my thoughts.
"He did but he was different. But I'm gettin' ahead of myself. Our ma wasn't takin' it well I tried to my best to stay positive but later on in the year ma got sick. So, Peter, my sister and I did everythin' to keep ourselves busy I spent most of my time in the kitchen while the other two worked outside they occasionally asked for help. I slept on the couch most nights by the door hoping Jasper would come home. Well, he did eventually after Ma passed of course. Peter and our sister were worried about my safety since the first thing I did when I saw him was try to hug him…" I paused as Dash started laughing at the thought of the major hugging anyone.
"Anyway, as I was sayin' before I was interrupted, I tried to hug my brother. That didn't go they way I thought it would because the next thing I knew I was in bed with a fever for three days, I think it was only three days. When I walked out of my room all my siblings were lookin' at me funny and I didn't like it. Then they were wonderin' how I did somethin' I went into the kitchen to eat while they went into town.
They came back once they ate, and we packed to meet the bitch. 'What you did in the house do not do that in front of Maria' Jasper warned me I had no idea why though, but his face slid into a mask similar to the one I was wearin' in the school. I copied his. And he learned Spanish excuse my language, but Maria was a Puta." I had to pause and calm down I broke my mug and went to clean up the spilt tea and glass.
"That's putting it mildly Carmen two." Dash spoke as I started cleaning up my mess and Sonia looked like someone just lit my ass on fire.
"Carmen Sandiego is your sister? It makes much more sense why you want to help her now." Sonia worked out the pieces and I nodded as I continue cleaning stuff up. I started humming as I ran a hand through my hair.
"Are you sure you want to keep hearin' this it's gonna get dark now." I pointed out after I finished cleaning up my broken mug and sitting back down. I was hoping Sonia decided she didn't want to know and would be happy with what I told her already but that would be too easy. Because she told me to continue.
"Anyways after we met the bitch, she said we are now her playthings, and our lives are expendable to her that she would most likely kill us after the first year. She would starve us and make us fight. She took Jasper from one war and got us all into a worse one. The months flew by I stole that jacket I brought with me to school from the bitch it was Jasper's how I got away with it let's just say she was preoccupied…." I paused again to rub the thought from my mind.
"Fucking her brother Jasper who helped her lead at the time." Dash added. And Riley growled. If I didn't like the hat wearing man like a brother, I would have let Riley at him, but I just thanked him and told him that I didn't need to be reminded of that.
"Anyway, I don't know how but Peter became Jasper's second in command so while they were talkin' to Maria when the year was comin' to a close, I grabbed Carmen and the jacket before I ran. We stayed in the forest in Texas since we couldn't exactly go home, they would look there first if they wanted to. I did the thing I was told not to do in front of Maria to keep me hidden while Carmen just changed her looks. Well, the years came and went we haven't heard from our brothers then Peter found us with his now wife Charlotte. 'Jasper let us go but Maria was not happy' Peter told me after hugging me and introducin' us to Charlotte.
About five years later Peter told us that we had to go back and save our brother. So, we did after that the five of us found a place to call home for a while. Jasper was depressed and Carmen wanted to do things. Jasper left us around 1940 with some girl named Alice, Carmen has been workin' on this for a long time only recently tryin' the take it down from the inside approach she found out about this in the seventies and that left m third wheelin' Peter and Charlotte. That was how it was until recently." I finished telling my story and sighed I was glad Maria wouldn't be seen again but I felt like other problems were looming on the horizon.
My phone went off again and I picked it up. "Hello Peter pan nice of you to call." I joked with him, and I saw Sonia's jaw drop. Ben was smiling at her.
"Angel dove what the actual fuck were you thinkin' fakin' your death and let Aro believe you're dead he called us and Jasper in a few minutes after Jane answered your phone." Peter started ranting.
"They got Carmen and she was on to us, so it was all part of my plan. Time to use the ghost part of my name." I said to him before he started telling me off again. "Peter, you know there's no changin' my mind once I made it up." I added and I smiled like the Cheshire cat before hangin' up to call Jasper to explain myself. Thankfully that didn't take as long as it could have, he said it was smart of me to do that.
Wait a minute Jasper would be tellin' me not to do that again. "Why howdy there major, what got you comin' out to play? Did somethin' happen to Bella? I could always put this on the back burner or send help if ya need it." I offered before he explained what happened and I was told to worry about savin' Carmen. Then he hung up.
"Those were your brothers? Why doesn't the major do what you're doing?" Sonia asked and I explained that he has his own problems right now. We started planning out everything Sonia was going to stay here with Bree, Jane, Maggie, Riley, and Ben while the rest of us go back and try to have this over with by September, October at the latest.
We stayed the night before leaving back for the school. When we got closer, I hid myself from the security and ran in as the door opened for Dash, taking his hat with me in the process as if it blew off. They fond out Sonia left after my death what they didn't know was that I planned it. I was to sabotage things while the others acted like normal sad and angry but normal. I helped with this by following them where I could and blocking their emotions. I saw Carmen and tripped her when no one was around. Before breaking into her room when she was going in and wound up both snow globes. The room was cold enough for me to fog up her mirror, so I did and wrote. Why did you rat me out Carmen? Why did you have me killed? I left the note on the mirror unsigned, and I messed a few things up in her room before leaving. After whispering to her "You made my list of unfinished business."
Paper star has been finding herself out of paper. More often than when I was alive, I might add. Man, it felt good not having to hold back on my speed. I spent weeks just messin' around, the Major and Bella should have graduated by now that's assuming that the mess with the wolves was sorted out. I hope it was, I started killing the older operatives so like one that was simply called the driver. What a stupid name she was easy to kill as well in a car accident. I made a plan with Graham we were going to get him arrested and hope A.C.M.E can help Carmen. The two of us were in the forest since the others were on missions from the lady in red. The only reason I suggested this is because Carlisle told me that Julia joined up again after Carmen started acting off.
"So, when am I doing this? You know this is a good plan Thorn. But where am I goin' to get arrested and how? Better question, who would I talk to?" Gray asked me after eating. I explained that the only people I he should trust to was Julia and the crazy French man who is obsessed with Carmen named Chase Devineaux. I explained that Julia would help us if he said it, was my idea. We also decided that he would get caught during his next assignment. We knew that He would be next. Then it would be for phase two. I asked Peter to lone some of my stuff from when we were human. I knew countess Cleo wouldn't be able to resist a complete collection of family journals. I say that because the only two that took the time to write were Jasper and I. So, I wrote Carmen's and Peter's journals and when Jasper died well when we thought he did I got his. What Cleo has now is a memory book I made for Jasper when he signed up for the war at least a forged copy of it. I wonder how my brothers are doing.
