Jasper's P.O.V.:
One of Nina's shows said without Passion, we'd truly be dead. That is probably true, sure we might know some sort of peace, but we would be hollow like empty rooms. We would never know the joy of love, passion is the source of our finest moments. But it hurts us sometimes when we feel the ecstasy of grief or the clarity of hatred.
Love I love my sisters, I love seeing them smile I have as long as I could remember. I love Rosalie my beautiful rose and the rest of my wayward family. I still grieve for friends and family lost and I hate Edward and his accomplices. I didn't really enjoy being separated from my sisters either but they are safe I think. Rose grabbed my hand and took me to eat. She isn't happy about all of this either. I was unsure if Nina dealing with Chelsea so soon was a good idea. It made me anxious and I must have started projecting since Rose was now on edge.
"My stone you are projecting again. I know you worry about Hazelnut but she will be fine. She's your sister after all." Rose reassured me. I took a few deep breaths and calmed down. I started thinking that there was something in the water people were drinking since Charlie adapted quickly to being a vampire. Even Julia took to it well. Victoria and Charlie just came back from a hunt when I noticed a motorcycle nearby. I didn't think the property near ours got sold until an middle aged couple came down the dirt path. "Hello there I'm Mae Tuck and this is my Husband Angus." The woman introduced herself and the man to me since everyone else went inside to do whatever they wanted. They were looking at me strangely as if they wanted to ask me something. I sent the woman some confidence to ask me what she wanted to. "You wouldn't happen to be related to Nina Whitlock would you? Since you look like a carbon copy of her she was a sweet girl." Mae said and I smiled.
"I'm Jasper ma'am Jasper Whitlock if you met Nina I'm sure she mentioned me and our sister Carmen. Anyway if y'all lookin' for her she had to leave suddenly I'll let her know when she gets back you were looking for her." I told them and they nodded before turning around and walking off. I did text Nina telling her that some people came looking for her a mentioned the names and she responded with a zipper over the mouth emoji when I asked what their deal was but she said it was nice to know they are near by and that she would see them when she gets home. I doubt I could change her mind about it.
Nina's P.O.V.:
Once Jasper texted me about Mae and Angus Tuck it reminded me I had to ask Marcus about what to do with them since they can't die. I also don't want to ignore them anymore well I already talked to the boys I just need to talk to Winnie alone. So I decided to send her a text. That told her if she was in L.A. I would be happy to talk to her about the incident with Jesse.
"Who are you and how did you get my number? Never mind delete this number and leave my family alone Nina Whitlock is probably dead by now. So I will not be meeting you anywhere." She replied and I sighed just as Esme and Felix arrived with a letter for me.
I walked out to a beach and opened the letter "Dear Jessie Whitlock: I know it wasn't your sister who wrote the letter I found on your grave. I also know that it wasn't your kids who were leaving letters after you left town. I haven't told the family or Winnie about the possibility of you still being alive. I'm sure if you wanted us to know you would have found us by now. I went to Australia for a while it was beautiful you would have loved it. I also got Winnie to walk to the top of the Effiel tower like I said I would. Until the next time I write- Jesse Tuck." I was surprised at the date 1980. There was a second more recent letter in the envelope as well. "Dear Jessie Whitlock: I know you're still out there I noticed you around a few times. I know that blonde hair anywhere it got lighter you must be enjoying the sun often enough. Anyway I hope it's you I'm writing to if it's one of your descendants that finds these and they look like you that's why I see you here and there, now and then that would be fine two. If it is you please reach out to me here's a list of places the family owns houses in. Hope to hear from you soon. -Jesse Tuck" that was only from last year I seen him since then. I grabbed my phone out of my pocket and sent a text to Jesse.
"I'm reaching out like you asked I apologize it took me so long. I'm in L.A. at the moment my siblings and I are in some rough water I don't want to worry you too much just try to get Winnie open to seeing me please. I got your numbers off Miles after he and I met up in Vegas but Winnie doesn't believe it's me. Anyway Thanks for your letters and I'll keep in touch when I can this time." I sent the text off signing it with my initials before going back to Lux and meeting everyone who was with me. Once I got back I kissed Riley and told him everything was okay. I then asked Marcus to talk to him in private.
Lucifer let us talk in the garage for now. "What is this about miss Whitlock?" Marcus questioned me. I explained that I didn't want to stay away from my friends anymore but I can't kill them for finding out about vampires since they are immortal theirselves. Marcus thought about it for a second before telling me that I could keep the Tucks in my life since no rules are being broken. I was happy that I don't have to keep my communication with the Tucks to letters and texts.
I was to head off alone the next morning by this point my family has been separated for a month. Player has visited us a few times but stayed with Carmen saying that he didn't want to interfere with his dad's new relationship with Ella. I respect that.
I called Aro before I left to ask him kindly to call Chelsea off. He refused saying that Carmen needed to pay for ending his money scheme. I grinned widely. "That wasn't Carmen Sandiego. Milord that would have been me. They took my stuff I generously donated to a museum for a limited time and I wanted it back. And you weren't careful one of the teachers were working on something to make vampires human for a short time. Now call off Chelsea or I tell the other kings about this discovery." I threatened and I heard him talking to someone who wasn't Caius or Marcus but he still refused me before asking me how my siblings were.
"I wouldn't know my mate and I are catching up with a friend of mine. Anyway thanks for your time Aro I'll be in New Zealand if you need me." I hung up and went to tell Marcus about the whole human Carmen incident and how it happened. He agreed that stuff in the wrong hands would be dangerous. I then told him that any information on it that survived is with Carlisle and that I blew up any samples V.I.L.E. may have had. I kissed Riley goodbye and went on my way to New Zealand.
On my way there I sent Jesse a text "I need back up think you, Miles and Winnie can meet me in New Zealand in a few days things could get heavy and I think I'm being followed." I sent the text off only to get a reply saying to meet them at the hobbiton set from the lord of the rings. I was also right about being followed Riley followed me.
"You are crazy if you think I would let you do this alone. We're a team remember. like Danny and Sam." He pointed out and we started running again. When we got there a few days later I needed to eat it wasn't long for me to find something. Riley and I then met up with Jesse, Winnie and Miles who also had food waiting for me while Riley was a Robin on my shoulder. I didn't know he could do that.
"Hey boys. Winnie long time no see, sorry but I wasn't sure if I would be breaking any rules if I contacted you guys. I asked someone about it and the answer was no. so I'm here now thanks for calling Jasper when I got sick Jesse. Now I know you guys have two other family members who didn't drink from the spring they are immortal as well now one followed me would you like to meet him?" I asked as I noticed Riley wasn't on my shoulder anymore but I kept my voice down not wanting to draw attention to us. Riley came walking over to us and kissed my hand.
"Friends of yours my bird? I've been meeting all your friends recently." He asked me and I grinned.
"Actually my cityboy they are family of yours two you asked about them on my birthday remember? These are Jesse, Miles, and Winnie Tuck. Jess, Winnie, Miles this is my boyfriend and mate for life Riley I met him when Jasper sent me to Forks Washington after Carmen sent me to Australia and I met Graham. Riley and Graham are related to you guys. They are Vampires though I didn't do this to them I sware." I told them before Riley was pulled into a hug by Jesse who said Riley looks like him which Miles added so did Graham. Winnie hugged Riley before hugging me.
"You won't ignore us anymore?" She asked me.
"I think that's hard to do now. Miles has my number and Mae and Angus bought the property next to my family's in Canada at least once. Jasper said they came asking about me when they saw him because we look alike. I have to go see them once I get back to my brother." I told her.
"Don't you mean Brothers?" Winnie asked and I shuddered before Riley explained what happened to Peter. The five of us kept talking about what four of us have been up to since we last seen each other over a century ago.
"You worked at a night club no way." Miles said surprised before Jesse joked about how I ran away from my brother again.
"you would two if Miles tried to control your life." I said as we went outside
Carmen's P.O.V.:
After we got the house all set up Player still looking like a 13 year old called a house meeting. He looked nervous for some reason he has hardly been seen since turning part of the barn into a workshop for himself. Leah would being him food and stay with him most days. by the time we were all in the living room he was pacing. "My name isn't Player it's Eli. My full name is Eli Shane Bouchard Volturi ." He stated and Zack started laughing.
"Want me to beat the red head up Eli?" Leah offered but I asked him if it was okay for me to keep calling him Player for now. Eli told me to do what ever made me comfortable he then made himself look like a 15 year old since Zack kept teasing him about his name. Eli must have hit a growth spurt between 13 and 15 since he was tall now and proceeded to teach Zack a lesson. Zack has to keep calling him Player Ivy preferred Shane and asked if that was okay. Gray took it well until Riley sent him a text on Nina not thinking about things again.
I asked Nina what she was doing. "Baiting a trap don't worry I'm not alone I got Riley and some friends with me. Aro is predictable he will think I'm breaking rules I'm not I got him off your back for now just let me handle Chelsea I sent the others back to Jasper already." She responded and put me on mute. I was still having trouble wrapping my head around Player's name. He went back to the barn to work on his project. I saw him in the field later with a modified dart gun and what looked like empty containers across his chest. "Leah ready to see if this blaster works?" He asked as Leah set up a target and told him she was ready. He then shoved one of the containers into the gun before firing it. The container slid out the side and on to the ground as a ice shards went flying around the target. He loaded another container and fired this time a sticky rope came out. The last one he tried turned his gun sorry blaster into a flamethrower. I knew he was smart but not this smart. I wonder what else this blaster of his can do. he was happy with the results and grabbed the containers from the ground before noticing I was there.
"Hi Red. Did you need something?" He asked before Gray dragged me off. I started to kiss Gray once we were deep in the woods.
