Chapter 28
I tossed and turned in bed. My mind started to wonder about the night I went to that werewolf party. Jasper told me he killed someone. Who? Why? Well, shit.
I picked up my phone and dialed his number. He answered on the second ring.
"Hey, can't sleep?" He asked me when he answered the phone.
"Not really. I kind of started thinking about things." I mentioned with a sigh.
"What is it?"
"Can you tell me why you killed that guy?" I asked and rolled over onto my belly.
"It was just…out of anger and missing you." He sighed. "He was walking down the street with a young woman that reminded me of you. He was treating her like dirt, calling her names, and accusing her of things that she didn't do. I know she didn't because I could feel like she was telling the truth. Anyway, he hit her a few times, which angered me even more. When she ran off…" Jasper's voice trailed off.
"He was alone and you killed him?" I asked, trying to finish the story.
"To skip to the point, yes. I didn't think about killing him. I was just walking behind him when it was happening. The man turned around and saw that I was walking and mentioned how women are worthless. I tried to ignore him, but he continued to aggravate me."
Jasper's POV –Flashback–
"Hey, kid. Are you even listening to me?" Dumbass grabbed my arm.
Don't touch me. "What do you want?" I asked in a low voice.
I took a sniff of the air. He was drunk, figures.
"Take my advice, Kid. When you find a woman, teach her who the boss is." He patted my back, making the rage inside me increase.
It had been days since I saw Lori. She always kept me calm and in control. I missed her. I missed my girl and this fucker wasn't helping me. Beat my woman?
"A good looking guy like you probably already has one." He thumped my chest with the back of his hand. "Is she good in bed? Nice tight pussy?"
The fire inside of me burst out. I saw nothing but red and a soon to be dead man. No one was there to stop me. No one could stop me if they tried. Major was in control and he knew what he wanted to do to this piece of shit.
I silenced the man with my hand over his mouth, taking him into an ally. I held him up against the wall, my hand was around his throat, and I dragged his body up the brick wall.
His pulse was beating under my hand. I could taste the venom in my mouth. I wanted this man to die. How dare he speak of Lori that way!
He couldn't speak or breathe. My hand was crushing his throat. It was so easy to kill humans. Just a slight movement of my fingers would break his bones. A slight movement of my hand and his neck would break.
I watched as he started to lose consciousness. This was no man. This was no human. Here I thought I was a monster when, in fact, it's people like this. Worthless asshole's who treat woman like dirt.
I felt the anger in me rise more and I started to bash him into the wall over and over again. Blood splattered against the wall and myself. Blood.
The thought of Lori popped into my mind. She wouldn't want me like this.
I quickly let go of the body of this, now dead, worthless piece of shit. I took off in my vampire speed, running to the nearest bathroom. I saw I was alone. Good. I need to wash the blood off of me before I get this urge to kill again. I need to get the blood off of me before someone sees me. I need this off of me before I realize that monsters come in many different shapes and forms. I was just a different one.
Lori's POV
I was now sat up in bed. I listened to everything Jasper said to me. What bothered me the most wasn't him killing someone, but that he thought of himself as a monster.
"Jasper…you're not a monster." I said softly into the phone.
"You're still innocent, Lori. One day it'll show and you'll see me how I was when I became what I am. You'll see the monster." Jasper's voice couldn't be anymore monotone.
"When you come back, you'll be kissing my ass. You're making me mad, saying you're a monster. If you're a monster then I'm one too. You can't say things like that and expect me to be okay with it, Jazz." I couldn't contain the rage inside me. "You better be scared when you come back, Whitlock." I warned him.
"So, you're angry at me?" Jasper's voice showed how amused he was at this.
"Don't find this funny!" I scolded.
"You've never really have been ad at me before."
I paused in my rage. When have I ever been mad at him? A smile grew on my face.
"Damn you." I said. "Nope. No. I'm mad." I mentally prepared myself to be angry at him.
"Okay, I'll never come home then. I don't want to end up headless." His tone was playful.
"Oh, no. I like your head. I don't want that to be damaged in my rage."
"Yeah, I like my head too." Jasper chuckled in the phone. "I like both heads on me."
"No, no! Don't make me smile, Whitlock. You're in trouble. I'll see you when you get here." I tried so hard to not smile. "Actually, can you stay on the phone with me until I fall asleep?"
Jasper let out a teasing sigh. "If it makes you happy."
It didn't take long for me to fall asleep. Jasper sang softly into the phone. It was our song. The way he has been acting the past week has been wonderful. The more he acts this way, the more I want to hurry up and become a vampire.
A/N: What did you think of Jasper's POV? Did I do okay with the Major's POV too? :D Please let me know if I am being too…horrible with Major and Jasper….or both.
