The Crimson Eyed Drifter: Distance between Hearts
Chapter Twenty-Six

London, Ontario (Canada) – Venturi Residence
Casey McDonald

Life is very strange.

One day, you think everything is going a-ok and the next, you have vampires coming into your life, saving both you and your step-sibling in the same night from a vampire that has picked off our little group of friends one by one.

So many of them gone…

I curled up into the bed with tears falling from my eyes, trying to calm down but I couldn't. If Jasper hadn't been there, Derek would have been killed. Just the thought of it alone crippled me.

Why did it though? Derek is a crass, arrogant, annoying hockey player that doesn't care for anyone except for Marti, his princess of a sister. To be fair, we all love her though but my comment still stands.

And yet my heart feels like its tearing in two at the mere thought of being without him…Damn it, things are never easy when it comes to him.

Unable to sleep, I slid off the bed and opened my door, careful to not wake Liz, and shut it slowly before I turned around to face Derek's room but to my surprise, it was open and he wasn't inside of it.

It was then I heard talking coming from downstairs and silently, I began to creep down only to hear Derek say "I want you to make me a vampire."

"Wow…You just came right out and said it, color me impressed," I said with an amused tone in my voice.

I had just finished a little chat with my darling wife when Derek decided to come down and throw this question in my face. No hesitation, no warning, just BAM, make me a vampire! I must admit, I am very impressed by his jib.

But despite that, I'm going to need to cut this idea down swiftly. "Hmm…And why should I?" I asked him.

Derek looked down and said "I'm not going to sugar coat it, I want to be able to protect Casey and my family without relying on you guys…Also, I want revenge against Victoria. That simple enough?"

"Ah, the classic protect and revenge," I said with a wide grin. "That makes my answer so much easier. No."

"No?" Derek repeated with surprise.

"No," I confirmed.

"Why?" Derek asked.

"Derek…I'm going to level with you. Being a vampire may be all cool and we get all these awesome powers and shit but trust me, this isn't a road you should want to travel," I explained. "The process alone is brutal. We would have to pump a shit ton of venom into you to make the process quick and there is a chance that it could fail and you would die."

"Your memories of your human life would slip through your hands like sand, things you can easily recall now becoming a distant fog. You would crave blood day in and day out to the point that you would lose your sanity. Add to that having to retrain yourself to do even the most basic things like opening a door can take weeks."

I then let out a small sigh. "But even if you were alright with all of it, dying for revenge is never the answer. Sure, your main objective is to protect Casey and your family, you wouldn't be able to do that forever. Eventually, they will all die and you will be alone to drift, with only your regret to accompany you."

I could hear another set of breathing coming from up the stairs, which told me someone was awake but was trying not to be found out due to how muffled it was and I inwardly grinned.

Oh Casey, you think you're so slick…But I'll deal with that shortly. I looked to Derek and finished with "If you could come to terms with all of that, then I will change you right here, right now. But take it from me, someone that didn't have a choice, you need to take this choice very seriously because you only got one shot at life. Don't throw it away for something that will end."

"Well…shit," Derek summed up. "That's really heavy. I'm honestly surprised. I thought Vampires were all about changing people."

"I mean, a few are. Victoria is one of them but unlike her and a few others, we do have morals and like to give the pros and cons of things but most of all, we like to give a choice," I replied with a smile.

"That's pretty awesome," Derek replied. "Man, you and Jasper have been great to me and my family since jump and I bet those other two vampires are just as awesome. You guys didn't have to do any of this and yet you did. Thanks."

"You don't have to thank us. Our souls are damned to hell for cheating death. Might as well do some good deeds before our time comes," I replied with a small laugh. "But to add onto my already lengthy answer, if I did say yes and change you, how do you think your family would feel about knowing you're a vampire?"

"Edwin and Liz would be stoked. Marti would be afraid at first but would start to be the little weirdo I adore," Derek began with a warm smile on his face. "My folks would be upset that I rushed into such a life ending choice but would be okay with it as long as I was…"

"And what about Casey?" I asked.

Derek leaned his back against the wall and slide down it to ease himself into sitting and said "Honestly? She'd be pissed at me for doing it."

"You think so?" I asked.

"I know so. She tends to think the bigger picture while I'm more of the "In the now" kind of guy," Derek explained. "Everything that you said, she would have said as well but more in her keener way. It annoys me just thinking about it."

"Because you value what she thinks," I stated.

Derek was quiet for a moment, his face taking on a conflicted expression before he said "I do…."

I noticed that the muffled breathing had hitched and it made me grin.

Time to go in for the kill.

"How long have you been in love with her Derek?" I asked.

Derek's eyes snapped up in alarm while a muffled gasp was heard. That gasp was so loud that it was enough for Derek to begin to turn his head but in effort to save Casey from that confrontation, I said "Don't try to weasel yourself out of this one, Derek."

"I-I'm not!" Derek exclaimed, looking back at me with flushed cheeks. "H-How did you know?"

"Come on, it's pretty obvious that you love her. The fact that you've been taking what nearly happened to her really hard. The fact that her name was first before your family or revenge for your friends. Along with the silent looks I saw you give her a few times. I'm pretty sure anyone could see it."

"Doesn't mean you gotta sat it out loud," Derek said with a grimace. "Damn vampires and your attentiveness."

"Already hating on vampires? That didn't take long," I retorted good naturedly.

"It's easier when they are nosy," Derek replied with a grin, letting me know he was joking. His tone then became somber as he said "Since the day my dad married her mom. We met at the actually wedding, as fucked up as that was. I just remember going "Holy shit, that girl is beautiful" in my head several times. And we talked and man, there was an immediate connection between us."

"What happened?" I asked.

"Our folks happened," Derek said bitterly. "They saw us dancing together and broke the news, never have I felt so devastated…Until Victoria happened and killed all my friends."

"Understandable," I said.

"I decided that I needed to distance myself from her and in short, became a huge dick. From pranking or just saying cruel things to her but even that didn't dull my feelings. If anything, it made them grow more…" Derek said. "Just my luck. I find the person I'm in love with and she's my step-sister who hates me."

"Sounds like us," I said after a moment. "I found out I loved Charlotte the day she was sentenced to die and Jasper has no idea he loves this girl and he's running away because he fears he's going to hurt her because she's human and he's not."

"Heh, wow, lucky in love we are," Derek said with a chuckle. "But at least you have Charlotte. Jasper and I are a long ways away from those that we love."

I merely smiled at him and said "Don't speak so soon about you two. I have an inkling things will pick up in the future for you both." I looked down at my watch and said "And with that said, I have to get Embry and Jessamine. Their watch is over and mine is just about to start. You get some rest and like I said, think carefully about what you want to do with this life."

I could hear footsteps slowly going into a room before the door slowly closed as Derek smiled at me and nodded. "I will and thanks again Peter," Derek said before he rushed up the stairs.

I gave a small grin as I watched him depart and shook my head.

Heh, it seems my first plan is working successfully, time to see if Embry and Jessamine are working…

London, Ontario (Canada) – Venturi Residence
Embry Call

I've always been different from the pack.

Everyone knows it, from my mother to my friends knows that I'm not like them and I like that about me.

Everyone in the pack are basically hot-blooded shonen anime protagonists but me? I'm mistaken for being shy but really, I'm calm and calculating. I observe everyone and everything around me and come to my own conclusions about the world and those that reside in it.

It's why everyone at the reserve enjoys my presence although in Sam's case, I bet it's more due to us being possible brothers.

So when the Vampires told us about what was going on Canada and what happened in Vegas, the evidence that was provided during my time in Vegas and here told me that this was all true. If it wasn't, I would have attacked them in an instant and potentially killed one or be killed by one.

So here I was, sitting on the roof with Jessamine, a vampire. From the scent alone, I could tell she was a new vampire. They still have that…Faint scent of fire to them where the long time bloodsuckers smelled like snow.

But there was something else in that scent that pleased me and that was the scent of peppermint.

It was nice.

But what is bizarre is how at peace I feel with her. Despite us being sworn enemies, I feel one hundred percent comfortable with her in my presence.

How peculiar.

"How long have you been a vampire?" I asked Jessamine

"Not too long," she replied softly. "A few weeks maybe…It doesn't feel like it though. It all seemed to blur together." Jessamine then turned to me and asked "What about you? When did you become a…Werewolf?"

"Not a werewolf, a shapeshifter," I corrected. "Werewolves…They don't exist. At least not anymore. As for me, it's been a little while. Still not used to some of the aspects but the body morphing is part has gotten much easier to deal with."

"I see…What does it feel like?" Jessamine asked me curiously.

I chuckled and looked out at the starry sky and replied "It may last a moment but the process is very dreadful. What about you? Do you remember when you changed? How did it feel?"

"It felt like molten lava was going through my veins but like your transformation, it went quick though and I'm glad it did because If it didn't, those assholes would have succeeded in beaten me to death," Jessamine said, her right hand clutched at her left forearm.

For a moment, there was a burst of this…Primal anger that went through my veins as the image of her beaten body popped into my mind but as quickly as it appeared, it vanished.

What was that?

I couldn't contemplate this for long because Jessamine suddenly asked "You got really pissed there for a second."

"I did…I can't tell you why though," I told her.

Why did I get so angry?

Wait…How did she feel that?

"How did you know?" I asked her.

"I have a similar gift to Jasper. Both of us are empaths but while we both can sense how others feel, only he can force another emotion onto others. Me? I don't exactly know what my gift does yet," Jessamine explained.

"Do all vampires have gifts?" I then asked.

She shrugged and that made me nearly face palm. She's a new vampire, you idiot. Of course she wouldn't know about other vampires and their gifts!

"Now you're embarrassed," Jessamine noted with amusement before she looked away and said "This is nice…Uncle Jasper, Peter and Charlotte are great but it feels nice to talk to someone else for once."

"I…agree. I never figured a vampire would be so pleasant," I replied.

"I kinda got the feeling vampires and your kind don't get along," Jessamine said. "Just from the general air of disbelief from the three of you showed that. Why is that?"

"Well…It's hard to really explain but I'll try. Before the vampires came to our city, we were normal. We didn't have the abilities we do now but when they came, it triggered our transformation into these large wolves. Each time someone triggered their change, someone got hurt. Me and two others managed to do it with little harm but others, like Leah and Seth, lost a loved one due to that trigger."

"That's terrible," Jessamine said with a frown. "So the vampires caused this ability of yours just by being nearby?"

"Yes…Although it's not all bad. I feel closer to my friends than I did before all of this started. So I got that going for me…" I admitted.

"Which is nice," Jessamine finished.

"Okay calm down Bill Murray," I replied before we both laughed.

"Caddyshack is a national treasure," Jessamine defended.

I turned to her to say something but found myself staring at her rather beautiful face, which had a lopsided grin on it, revealing a dimple.

It was then that I felt this sharp pulling sensation in my chest and the world around me seemed to darken, with only her image shining through like a diamond in the sky but just as quick as it arrived, it left, leaving me breathless.

"Are you alright?" Jessamine asked as she placed a hand on my shoulder, snapping me out of my daze.

She looked so worried. Was she worried about me? I'm fine. But staring up at her ruby like eyes made my heart skip a beat.

Were her eyes always so stunning?

"My eyes is stunning?" Jessamine asked, her voice amused but flustered.

I blinked. "Did I say that out loud?" I asked her.

"You did..." Jessamine replied with a slight giggle. "Well, thanks for the compliment.

"Well, you make it so easy," I responded with a grin.

"Do I?" Jessamine asked teasingly.

"Oh you most certainly do," I replied.

Jessamine chuckled and looked at the sky. "It's funny…I was struggling so hard down in the Venturi house because of the scent of blood but out here, with you, all I smell is blueberries and what I feel is peace. I don't even have that burning in my throat, something I've had nonstop…"

"I do have that calming effect," I responded with a grin.

Jessamine snorted and turned to look at me and said "If that's the case, I'll have to keep you close."

I smiled. "Likewise."

"So…I smell like blueberries?" I asked with cheeky grin.

She rolled her eyes but gave me a smile and said "Yeah. You first smelled like wet dog but then wild blueberries took its place…I guess that's due to my human family…"

"Your human family…" I said.

"Yeah, we used to pick wild blueberries when I was younger. My mom thought it would be a good bonding exercise since we were all adopted." Jessamine explained as her voice became excited. "Me and my siblings hated it at the time and we bonded over that hatred of blueberry picking so it kinda worked in the end."

"I bet your mom secretly enjoyed it," I said.

"You kidding? My mom hated the fact we bonded because we all caused all kinds of shit…" she then grew quiet and it was then that I noticed that there was something pooling in her eyes.

Was those tears?

No, Vampire didn't have tears but they had venom but looking at her face, I saw the subtle look of anguish and it made my own heart clench up.

"I miss them so much…" she whispered with pain in her voice as these blue wisps began to flow from her body. "And I can't even cry for them because it's not possible…It's such bullshit…"

I don't know why I did what I did but I gingerly pulled her into hug. She stiffened up for a brief moment before she seemingly relaxed and returned the hug as she dry sobbed.

I frowned as I heard Jessamine's dry sobs from the backyard.

As much as I don't like hearing the sound of her distress, I knew it had to be done.

I knew she had been holding back on grieving due to the whirlwind that is our life and I knew that Embry would be the one to fix that.

I had a feeling when the two locked eyes very briefly when we all met that they would be connected but how much so, who knows but your resident Vampire-Wizard?

Now with Casey and Derek, along with Jessamine and Embry taking the right first steps, it's time for me to get Leah and Alice to take another step forward. I walked back into the house to see Leah, who was dozing comfortably on the couch with her little brother Seth leaning up against her fast asleep and smirked.

I have a feeling she would murder my ass if I took this picture…Ah well. After taking a quick picture of the sleeping duo, I walked over to the sleeping Leah and shook her gently and said "Hey, it's our turn for a watch."

Leah grumbled sleepily and looked at the clock. "Wow…It's already three in the morning. Alright, let's get going then."

She let out a loud yawn and carefully placed Seth on the couch and rubbed her eyes with a grumble. "Well let's get going."

The two of us walked outside, careful in not waking up anyone on our way out and climbed up the ladder and paused when I heard Jessamine speak.

"I-I'm sorry…I didn't mean to get upset like that," Jessamine said.

"Don't worry about it. It's okay to mourn what you lost," Embry's calm voice replied. "That's what makes us human…Vampire…Um…"

"Idiot," Jessamine's voice said but I could hear the smile in it.

"I haven't slept well. Give me time and I'll make better sense," Embry joked, causing Jessamine to snort in response.

"Thanks," she said genuinely.

"Anytime," Embry replied.

"What's the hold up?" Leah asked irritably.

I looked down to see Leah glowering up at me and shushed her but then I heard Jessamine's voice from directly above me ask "So I guess our watch is up?"

I looked up and saw both Embry and Jessamine looking down on me and Leah.

"Yeah…" I replied lamely.

After Leah and I got on the roof, I handed Jessamine our hotel key and said "Call me as soon as you get there. If I don't hear from you in ten minutes, I will come find you."

"Yes dad," Jessamine said with a roll of her eyes, a playful smile on her lips, which made me smile as well.

Embry looked to Jessamine and said "Come on. Let's get down from here. I need some sleep."

She nodded and the two climbed down the ladder to the ground where I heard Jessamine speak. "I just wanted to say…Thanks again for that." I happened to peak down to see Jessamine placing a small peck on Embry's cheek before she dashed away from him and ran in the direction where our hotel would be, leaving Embry standing there, looking dumbfounded.

Beside me, Leah had that exact same look.

"Okay…What the fuck did I miss?" Leah asked me.

"Who knows," I replied cheekily before I leaned back and began to dial Alice's number with a smirk on my face.

But you're about to find out…

But before I could press the "Call" button, I saw that Charlotte was calling me.

"Hello, Peter in full eff-"

"You need to get down here now!" Charlotte yelled, interrupting me. In the background, I could hear the sounds of fighting and felt my venom run cold.

"Leah! We need to jet now! Wake up Seth and Embry to guard the family!" I told her. Leah nodded and leapt off of the roof and darted into the house.

"What the hell happened?" I asked.

"No time, get here now!" Charlotte shouted before she hung up. I leapt off the roof and landed on the ground as Leah ran out the house and said "They are up and guarding."

"Good, let's get the fuck out of here, Shit is going down," I told her before we both ran off, my hand dialing Jessamine's cell number.

Shit is about to hit the fan.

Unknown Realm
Bella Swan

"Jasper."

His name leaves my throat before I could stop it.

I could see his back stiffen at the sound of my voice before he slowly turned around to face me. His eyes were the first thing that caught my attention. Those ruby red eyes. The eyes of a blood drinker and yet, those eyes were the most beautiful thing I had ever seen.

More beautiful than the amber gold that I was used to see in his eyes.

"I…" I began, unable to continue due to stopping the various emotions that wanted to free themselves from my chest. "I…I've waited for so long for this…To see you again…" I told him as I took a step forward. "I raged…I've cried, I've longed…and now I have you in front of me again…," I told him tenderly.

"Bella…I…" Jasper began but before he could say another word, I immediately leaned up and smacked his face as hard as I could and while I knew it wouldn't hurt, the shock on his face was worth it.

"W-What the hell was that for?!" Jasper exclaimed in surprise

"That's for making me cry when you left asshole!" I responded but I then leaned up hugged him for all that he was worth, tears streaming down my face. "And this is for making me miss you!"

I felt him instantly return my hug and whisper into my ears "Give me a little warning before rapidly switching moods there Bella."

"Ass," I responded tearfully but with a small laugh as he pulled me away lightly and frowned, most likely feeling seeing my tears.

He leaned forward and wiped my tears away and said "I truly am sorry that I hurt you so much…"

His hand felt so warm against my cheek that when he tried to pull away and grabbed his wrist gentle and leaned into his touch and whispered "You thought you were doing what was right. I just wish you would have stayed long enough for me to discover what I did…"

"Discover? Discover what?" Jasper asked me.

"That I need you with me. I need to be able to see you and touch you. That I can't breathe without you…I want you in my life for good Jasper," I told him softly, my hands reaching up to touch his cheeks but he pulled away, a frown on his face.

"Bella…You don't need someone like me in your life," Jasper told me firmly. "Look at me…Look at my eyes…I'm not someone you want to be ar-"

I didn't even wait to slap him in the face again as I shouted "No!"

"Bella…" Jasper growled out and I'm not afraid to admit it, I was really turned on by that growl but my anger superseded my attraction.

"No! I'm tired of the men in my life that I care about trying to decide what is good for me and what isn't. Edward did it and I sure as hell won't put up with it from you Jasper Hale," I told him as I pulled him down so we were eye to eye.

"So listen up and listen very clearly because I will only say this once. You can run as far and as fast as you want but I will catch up to you each and every time and you want to know why? Because you're fucking worth it to me so shut the fuck up!"

As I panted out, Jasper had this smile that had I not been angry, it would have left me in a puddle.

"How long have you had all of this in your system?" He asked me with amusement.

"Since the moment you rode of into the sunset. You ass," I replied softly.

"But why? We barely spoke to each other up until Phoenix and then your birthday…Why do you want me so badly?" Jasper asked.

"In the few minutes that we talked before you left…You told me all about who you are. You were willing to sacrifice your family, someone you've been with for decades, for me, someone they've known for a blink of an eye to not only try and keep me "safe" from you but to keep the others in Forks…" I told him with a small smile.

"You knew that I loved them and that they loved me too and you left to keep them from Edward's plan of leaving, knowing that would shatter me. On that day, you also told me how strong you were to make a choice that I couldn't make at that time. Even when you were upset at leaving, you were trying to cheer me up that day by saying how important I was to them…You gave me the strength to prove you wrong and to better myself as well because a wilting flower will not be able to bring you back to Forks."

I shut my eyes and wrapped my arms around him in a tight hug and said "So to sum up, You showed me that you are a strong, selfless, loyal and caring man that knows how to light a fire in me and at the end of the day, that is a man I want to give my all too."

I felt his arms wrap around me as he whispered "Well damn…You know how to make a guy feel special…"

"I do try my best," I replied.

We sat together, just soaking in the silence before I heard Jasper let out a small breath and said "When you got that papercut on your birthday, I went out of control…I was in a frenzy to get to you. If I hadn't been stopped, I could have hurt you. Leaving seemed so easy to do. What I didn't expect was for you to hurt as much as you did…I just wanted you to be safe."

"I know you did but all I want is you back in my bizarre life. Don't you understand that?" I asked him.

"I do now," Jasper responded with a small smile. "I don't know what it is about you Bella but I haven't been able to get you out of my mind since I left Forks. I don't know if this some sort of sign or something that is meant to be but whatever it is, it led me to this place and to you and I can't ignore that because of my own fears…"

"So…No more running from me then?" I asked him with a hopeful tone.

"No more running," he confirmed with a smile. "With that being said, I have a feeling that the wind will bring you my way sooner rather than later so just promise something…"

"Sure," I replied but inwardly, I was panicking.

Does he know about my trip there?!

I mean, there has been times his voice has been in my mind but can he actually read it?

"What am I thinking?" I asked suddenly.

"Hmmm…How incredibly sexy I am," Jasper joked.

"You certainly aren't wrong there," I said with a blush but mentally, I sighed in relief. He doesn't know…Good…Maybe this place shields out thoughts or something. "S-So, you wanted me to promise something?" I asked him.

Jasper nodded and his face became serious, prompting me to be serious as well. "I don't know what is going on between us. From this place to hearing your voice in my head but I do know this. If anything were to happen to you, I don't know what monster would awaken in me as a result and I don't want to find that out so If things get bad, I want you to run as far away as possible, alright?" Jasper asked.

"I promise," I replied softly. "And in return, promise me that you won't run from me ever again. No matter how tough things get between us."

"You kidding me? I'm afraid you'll stop using your hand and search out the Vampire Killer to kill me if I refused so consider that promise kept," Jasper replied cheekily, which caused me to hit his chest.

"Good because I'm tired of hitting you," I responded with a grin, which caused him to grin back at me. "Wait…Vampire Killer? Like from Castlevania? That's real?!"

Jasper smirked down at me, which only made me pout and smack his chest. "Hey, I thought you were tired of hitting me," Jasper said with a laugh.

"I was until you withheld information, Mr. Hale," I replied as I poked his chest.

"Hey, it's a trade secret," Jasper replied. "Only the higher ups know where Vampire Killer and by "Higher Ups" I mean god because no one knows where that is."

I snorted but then leaned up and pecked his cheek, which caused his grin to melt into a look of surprise. "I know you don't have a lot of faith in yourself when it comes to me and my life but have a little faith in me, alright? I would never put myself at risk if I didn't feel safe and if I can't be safe with my mate, who can I be safe with?"

"Wait…Ma-" Jasper was interrupted by the sky above us starting crack like broken glass, sending pieces of the sky to fall around us.

"W-What's going on?" I stammered out.

"I don't know," Jasper responded as he gripped me tighter. The sky then shattered completely and I felt a sharp tug from behind and was sent flying backwards, while Jasper did the same.

"Jasper!" I screamed out as his image faded from my view and moments later, I was in my room, sweating heavily.

I looked around at my surroundings before I gritted my teeth to bite back the yell of frustration.

Damn it!

What the hell happened?!

London, Ontario (Canada) – Nightwalker's Base
Jasper Hale Whitlock

My eyes snapped open in alarm as the coffin opened, sending water pouring everywhere to reveal a panicked Charlotte. She was speaking to me but my mind feels so cloudy. The only thing that is on my mind was what Bella had told me.

"If I can't be safe with my mate, who can I be safe with?"

She called me her mate…Was I her mate?

The cloudiness in mind my mind cleared away as Charlotte's voice shouted "Get out of the fucking Coffin Jasper. We're being attacked!"

Charlotte pulled me out from the coffin and I took a step forward but I fell to one knee.

Why do I feel so exhausted?

"This is no time for jelly legs Major," Charlotte said with a serious tone. She hoisted me up to my feet and said "Deacon Frost's vampires attacked us suddenly. Eric and his team are fighting them but they are getting slaughtered. I called Peter and he and Leah are on the way to help."

I found the strength in my legs and nodded but as I opened my mouth to speak, the wall with the various security screens shattered and Eric flew from it slammed into a coffin beside us back first before falling to the ground.

"Eric!" both Charlotte and I shouted but as we took a step forward, I heard a familiar voice.

"Ah…So she was correct after all. The God of War is in my sights…"

I turned my head to see Carlisle step through the Vampire made hole but I can also tell that it really wasn't him. This Carlisle was wearing a dark black suit with a blood red tie with blood red gloves, his crimson red eyes staring right at my direction.

"God of War, Lord Frost demands your immediate attention," he said calmly. "Come with us and we will spare the lives of those you care about."

Jasper:….Fuck

Leah: Fuck

Seth: That is some bad news right there guys!

Embry: What a turn of events…
