Chapter 32
"Again." Emmett ordered after he had been thrown back onto his ass, ten feet from where we were standing.
Jasper and Emmett were training. I had to admit that I couldn't see much of anything, because they moved too quickly. I did know that Jasper was winning.
Soon the wolves would be here and I knew Jasper would have a tough time concentrating on training his family while the wolves were here. He didn't like them at all. He didn't like that he was showing the "enemy" how he fights either.
I sat on the hood of the SUV. I brought a water bottle with me and a candy bar. I tapped my black boots together on the tips while I watched Emmett and Jasper fight.
Everyone stopped practicing and Jasper looked over at me. He held out his hand and that was my cue for me to go over to him.
Edward and Bella drove up to where we were and got out of the Jeep. Bella stood to my left while Jasper was on my right. Jasper had his arm wrapped around my waist and I looked up to where the vampires were looking towards.
On top of a hill, between the trees, out came a pack of wolves. I spotted a black wolf who led the pack. He must be Sam.
"They don't trust us enough to be in their human forms." Edward spoke. He must be able to read their minds too.
"They came and that's what matters." Carlisle said and walked in front of us, facing the wolves. "Will you translate?" He asked Edward. "Welcome." Carlisle gestured his hand over to Jasper as he spoke about him. "Jasper has experience with newborns. He'll teach us how to defeat them."
The black wolf stepped a paw down on the ground as Edward translated his thoughts.
"They want to know how the newborns differ from us."
Carlisle looked towards Sam, giving him a kind facial expression. "They're a great deal stronger than us because their own human blood lingers in their tissues."
Alice walked over to me as Jasper walked forward, standing by Carlisle. I felt a small sense of panic when I didn't feel him touch me anymore.
A tug at my emotions started to happen and slowly I calmed down. Jasper must be trying to calm me.
"Our kind is never more powerful than in our first several months of this life." Carlisle continued and took a step back so Jasper could speak.
"Carlisle's right." Jasper agreed. "That's why they are created. A newborn army doesn't need thousands like a human army." The wolves started to rumble our small growls. The black wolf made a barking noise, quieting down his pack. "And no human army could stand against them. The two most important things to remember are, first…" Jasper put his hands behind his back as he paced back and forth, telling the wolves what they need to hear. "Never let them get their arms around you. They will crush you instantly. The second, never go for the obvious kill. They'll be expecting that and you will lose."
You know that feeling you get when you hear a dangerous man speaking words of wisdom? Your heart beats quickly and you can feel the hair on your arms stand up. That's what was happening to me. I knew Jasper had a dangerous side to him, he's told me his past and what he has done. Did that mean I was scared of him? Not in the slightest.
"Emmett?" Jasper said and stood into an open area, where he and Emmett were practicing before.
Emmett got into a position as we all stood back from the two men, giving them room to fight. Alice was still by my side, holding my arm so I didn't feel as lonely.
"Don't hold back." Jasper teased.
"Not in my nature." Emmett replied with a small smirk.
Their faces changed from a playful expression to serious. Emmett charged after Jasper, knocking into his chest. Jasper's serious face turned into a cocky expression as he was being pushed back.
Jasper's feet slid on the ground, bringing up the dirt from the ground. He threw Jasper up in the air, making him land on the ground.
Jasper rolled onto his feet and darted towards Emmett. He still had a cocky expression on his face. He must know that he will win against Emmett.
Emmett ran towards Jasper and threw a punch to him. Jasper dodged, swiping his arm on Emmett's legs, and making him flip in the air. Emmett laid flat on his back, throwing dirt in the air when he flipped.
"Never lose focus." Jasper said, ending the fight between him and Emmett.
I thought Jasper was going to come back to me, but he paced back and forth, watching Edward and Carlisle intently. He's concentrating hard on training his family.
I looked over at Alice. Would she be okay fighting? She's so small. Her powers would help her though, because she can see when things are coming. She would be able to anticipate their moves and win.
"One more thing…" Edward was flipped onto his back once Carlisle got back up and took him down. "Never turn your back on your enemy."
Jasper and Rose stood on the training grounds. He put two fingers up, wiggling them to have her come forward.
Oh, those fingers…
I heard a deep sigh from Edward and I looked over at him. He gave me a 'really' look. I shrugged at him and pointed to Jasper.
Hello, he's hot as fuck!
Edward chuckled as if he was having an inside joke running in his head. I smiled, knowing that we were good.
When everyone was done for the day, I ran over to Jasper and pounced onto his back. My arms and legs were wrapped around him and I was smiling wide.
"I won." I said.
"We were fighting?" He asked and turned his head to look at me.
"In my mind, yes." I gave him a cheeky grin.
He made a thinking face and then took me off his back. "Try to get me."
I fixed my hoodie and stood there like an idiot. "You're joking right? One, I'm human. Two, you're a foot taller than me!"
"You admitting your defeat?" He challenged with his cocky smirk.
That fueled my emotions. I squinted my eyes at him. Honestly, I wasn't going to win. What was the harm in play fighting?
I remember back when my brother and I watched wrestling together. It got us in the mood to play fight each other. I could use my experience in that to help me, but that wouldn't be enough.
I got into a stance and readied myself. I felt all eyes on me, even the wolves. Would they be okay with me doing this?
I took a swing at Jasper; he successfully dodged it. He wasn't using his vampire speed, but I still sucked. After a few moves, I found myself in Jasper's arms. He was grinning down at me.
Asshole.
I moved my elbow to hit him in the face. He ducked, picked me up, and tossed me in the air. I felt my body floating and I knew I was in the air.
Soon, a pair of arms caught me and was holding me bridal style. I gave Jasper a pouty frown and stuck my tongue out at him.
"Shut up." I said in a small pouty tone.
"I didn't say anything." He replied as he sat me on my feet.
"You were thinking and it was annoying." I brushed off the dirt that ended up on the bottom of my pants.
I saw that my family had huge smiles on their faces or, in Emmett and Bella's case, laughing at me. The wolves looked tense, except for Jake. He was on his side, letting our wolf huffs. I think he was laughing at me too.
I thought I did pretty well for someone with no skills at all.
