Murphy Should Be Shot

Olympic National Park

[Jasper's POV]

The chopper is getting too close. The pilot spotted me and is curious about my kill. They will be too close in ninety seconds. I need something to distract them. I don't have my hunting rifle with me. Their timing sucks I didn't get to feed for longer than a minute on the Elk.

I feel energy coursing through my body a smalls clouds combine into a fast storm that forms on the mountain; I feel the electrical current as a lightning flash hits the trees just above where I am standing next to my kill. I feel the pilots fear of the freak storm. The chopper veers away. Within three minutes there are small puffy clouds where the storm appeared. I bury the body of the Elk I partially fed on.

I usually take a rifle with me when I hunt, so if I'm spotted I look like a normal hunter or poacher. I would have been exposed if not for the freak storm. I was so aggravated at Alice, I didn't follow procedure. I love her but she is so determined to make a production of Bella's birthday.

Heading down the mountain my phone chimes with Charlotte's ring. "Charlotte what can I help you with?"

"Just listen and don't make any decisions yet: Bella's birthday party will not end well."

"You are correct in your assessment of the Seattle situation: Victoria is forming a newborn army there. You need to bypass the Seattle area when you return to Texas. The Volturi are monitoring all of the cold one activity in the Seattle and Tacoma area."

"Remember you will be able to control yourself around Bella. It will not be easy, her blood is potent. Bella is very important to all of us. Bella must live. After her botched birthday party your arguments with the Cullens to stay in Forks to protect her from Victoria's army will fall on deaf ears. They are all still under Alice's influence. She has her own agenda. The Cullens are going to implement their exit plan to leave Forks for Rochester."

"I need you to stock a hunting cabin in the woods today. I have sent all the information you will need to your PO Box in Port Angeles. I will have Pete contact your old friend Damon Salvatore. He will rescue Bella when Edward abandons her in the woods. They are 'true' mates. Edward was influenced by Alice to believe he was Bella's mate, he isn't. He could not leave her, if he was her 'true' mate."

"Jasper, be very careful. Alice's visions are not able to pick up on the decisions you make from now on. You are a Leylock. I will explain more when you arrive at the ranch in a few days. Get your ass here as soon as you can." She hangs up.

I find the backpack I've hidden in the trees and change clothes. It looks like I need to check my PO Box.

Port Angeles WA

I retrieve a next day package from Charlotte addressed to my PO Box. I open it to find a note on top of several items.

Jasper,

Charlie Swan, Damon Salvatore, Peter and I are also Leylocks. You have the ability to utilize Leyline energy with the affinity for electricity. That is the reason why you experienced the small storm on the mountain. Bella will come into her powers soon.

Within the next twenty four hours, you will receive a Washington Driver's license with Damon's picture on it and with his 'human' age from J. Jenks. He also will send the title of a Black Ferrari 812 with Damon's name on it. Just call he will courier it to where you are. The car will be waiting at the airport in Seattle when Damon lands. It will be the perfect bribe and reward for his care of Bella while you are here in Texas.

To be safe you need to include the 30K bundle with the delivery of the title, and a handwritten message on a piece of notebook paper: The money is to purchase what you will need to get the job done. JW.

I have included photos and instruction notes for Damon interspersed in the bundles of one hundred dollar bills in sequence of events that need to happen via my note in this package. The package to the Salvatore Boarding House needs to be hand delivered to Damon by courier.

You need to deliver the other items included, in the box to Charlie Swan's hunting cabin in the woods before you leave for Texas. Put the items on the shelf in the bathroom.

Just be careful, Alice can't see your decisions. Pack what personal possessions that you can't live without and send them by courier to the ranch. Alice is distracted with Edward and not paying attention to your future or decisions. Pete will help out with Damon so you don't need to contact him personally; try not to kill Pete when you get here.

Be cautious and take care of yourself.

Charlotte

I get in line to purchase the shipping items that I will need to send Damon's package. I wish I could be a fly on the wall to see his reaction to all this. Pete is going to exacerbate the shit out of him. Edward doesn't deserve Bella's affections. Damon will treasure her. I am so glad that Charlotte is able to see future events for people she cares about.

Forks WA: Cullen Residence

Everyone is gathered in the living room by Edward's piano. Alice is handing out the elaborately wrapped birthday gift packages to Bella. She starts to open one of them and I catch the scent of her blood from the paper cut. Carlisle and Emmett are holding me back. I didn't get to feed properly yesterday. The fresh scent of human blood is triggering the hunt and feed response. Then I get hit with everyone's bloodlust. I know they wouldn't have been able to hold me back, if I wasn't warned ahead of time this would happen. Yes, the bloodlust is driving me crazy, but I'm working hard not pull out of their restraining grasp. Thank God for Charlotte's warning.

Emmett and Edward pull me away to go hunting. Emmett is silent as he is keeping watch several feet away. I bring down a moose drinking by a stream. Edward is as far away from me as he can get, without Emmett noticing. He is brooding. I feel pain, regret, determination and loss from him. Charlotte is right; he will invoke the 'move' rule. I will slip away after the family meeting. I will remind Carlisle about the threat of exposure in Seattle. It will make the family want to complete the move faster. They won't notice when I slip away later tonight.

Hunting Cabin in the Woods

I place the items Charlotte sent for Damon and Bella on a shelf in the bathroom. Charlie has a nice hunting cabin. Maybe sometime in the future I will be able to join him for 'human' style hunting.

I catch the scent of a shapeshifter nearby. They are supposed to only patrol their land not ours. Something is going on and I'm not sticking around for the fallout. I speed away to a chopper waiting for me in Port Angeles. It will take me to SeaTac so I can board a private jet waiting there for my flight to Texas.
