My Dark Angel
A/N: I'm so sorry this took so log to get out, I've been busy with real life stuff and had a very bad case of writers block. I own nothing.
Chapter 7:
(Jasper's P.O.V)
I decided to make a pit stop about a hour away from Peter's to hunt, I found a coyote and a deer; then I stopped at a near by liquor store to buy a bunch of my favorite whiskey and cigarettes thankfully it was already late into the night by the time I arrived in the city so I didn't have to worry about the sun.
As I was walking back to my truck I passed by a clothes store so I decided to drop my stuff off in the back seat of the truck and headed to the store so I could get some more comfortable clothing, thankfully before I left the Cullen's house I had already changed into a button down shirt and some blue jeans instead of wearing those crappy shit Alice use to force me to wear
'Man what the hell was I thinking ever letting that bitch change me so much I am the most feared vampire in the world, I will never again allow someone to change me into a fucking pansy ever again' I thought to myself as I paid for my stuff and headed to the truck again. When I arrived at the house I found Peter sitting on the porch smoking a cigarette waiting for me
"Well howdy stranger its about time you finally came home where you belong" he said as he came over to me and we hugged, I realized then that the pull that I've been feeling since I left the Cullen's has finally dispersed when Peter hugged me
"It's great to finally be home again, I missed you and Charlotte I'm so sorry I never kept in touch as much as I should have, and I'm so sorry I let that controlling manipulating pixie control me so much I don't deserve either of your forgiveness" I said looking at him straight in the eye like a man, he smiled at me as he placed his hand on my shoulder
"Jas my man you don't have to beat yourself up anymore all is forgiven just as long as you promise never to let your self me manipulate again"
"That I can easily promise, I am Major Jasper Whitlock and I will never let anyone control me ever again" I said as I stood up straight like the solider I was, Peter nodded happily
"Glad to have you back at least Major" he said saluting me.
We decided to relax on the porch a little longer both enjoying the warm summer weather for once, it was then that I realized that when I was with the Cullen's I never had the chance to just relax and star gaze I was always busy doing whatever Alice wanted contently going on shopping trips that I never wanted to go on or traveling all across the world just to go to some stupid fashion shows or something stupid like that, I never had time to just be me and do the things that I liked to do because she used to always say that it was too country for me and didn't fit into her image.
"Well fuck that" I said causing Peter to laugh
"Thanking about that psychotic fairy again" I nodded before sighing
"Yeah, I can't help but realize exactly what I was becoming being with them I was never myself"
"I would be very careful if they try to contact you again, my knower is saying that they are up to something but I have yet to figure out what exactly is going on at the moment"
"I had a feeling something fishy was going on cause when I left after giving Alice the divorce papers her and Edward we're up in her room arguing over something but they were talking so low that I couldn't make it out even being close to the door"
"Do you have a copy of the paper's, I might be able to figure out their motives if I can see what all she is getting and not"
"There's not much really I gave her all the houses we bought together, the only thing I decided to keep was all of my stuff that is now in the truck; thankfully I kept all of my assets that I made from Maria in a separate account that she never had access too"
"That was a good ideal, that pixie would have bankrupted you in no time"
"Yeah that's why I kept it hidden from her even to this day, if you want to be technical I'm actually richer than all of the Cullen's put together I just wanted them to think that I wasn't" Peter threw his head back and laughed even harder
"Oh man that was a good one, who knew you could be so devious; what are your plans now that your free" I thought for a moment before I turned back to the sky looking at the stars
"I haven't really thought about it, I figured I would stay with you until I can either find a place of my own or figure out what I really want to do"
"Well brother your always welcome to stay here, it gets kind of lonely being here all by myself" I thanked him before I pulled out a cigarette to smoke it, but before I could light it I heard the sound of horses coming from what looked like a barn
"Did you happen to get some horses" he nodded before he beckoned me to follow him.
He introduced me to all of the horses but he stopped at the last stale before he turned to me smiling
"I bought this here boy just for you Major, he's only 3 years old" he said as I looked into the stale, when I saw the horse I could have sworn I was looking at my old horse Lighting from back in my human days they looked exactly a like.
The horse must have scenes something in me because as soon as I walked up to the gate it meet me there and it nudged my hand like it was begging to be petted just like Lighting use to do
"Well I'll be damned no one has ever been allowed to pet this beast except me, it wouldn't even allow Char or her mate anywhere near him" I smiled as I continued to pet the horse
"Does he have a name" Peter nodded
"Yeah I decided to name him Thunder since he kind of reminded me about the stories you use to tell me about your war horse" I nodded before kissing Thunder's head
"Thank you Peter, you don't know how much this means to me"
"No problem, oh by the way Thunder's mates name is Lily she's the white filly in the pin right beside his" I turned to see Lily looking at me nodding her head like she was agreeing with him
"Well there boy you have some good taste then" I said laughing and I could have sworn I heard Peter say that 'he wasn't the only one' but I wasn't sure.
I spent the next hour getting to know the horses while Peter ran back to the house saying that he had a surprise for me and I wasn't allowed to come back to the main house until he called for me
"I wonder what that old dog is up to this time" I said as I patted Lily on her neck, she nudged me with her head before nodding; just then I heard Peter call for me so I said a quick goodbye before I took off towards the house.
I was amazed that when I walked into the living room I found Peter standing beside the couch holding a very large present in his hands
"I found this while I was out and I figured you might need it" he said handing it to me, I sat down on the couch before I opened it; inside was the most beautiful guitar I have ever seen sitting nicely inside a see through case
"Peter this is amazing thank you so much, Alice destroyed my old one shortly after we got together" I gently took it out of the case and I started strumming it
"I kind of figured that witch would do something like that, I'm surprised she allowed you to keep your 'hillbilly' clothes as she puts it" he said gesturing to the clothes I was wearing
"I hid all my clothes shortly after we got together after I saw what she did to my guitar, Esme bless her soul hid them in her closet until I got my own room then she put them in my closet and forbid Alice from coming into my personal space unless invited" He smiled at that
"Esme, Emmett, and his wife are the only ones in that family I could stand; the doc isn't too bad he just too much of a push over for my liking, he basically allows Edweird and the pixie bitch to run the family and they never get in trouble for putting the others down all the time" I nodded in agreement, we spent the rest of the night just talking and hanging out while I played with my new toy.
(Peter's P.O.V)
When morning came my ranch hands by and Dave one of my horse handlers brought his 4 year old daughter Gracie for him, of course all my works think that during the day I stay inside for my other job so none of them ever ask any questions plus they were just happy to have a place to stay, food in their stomachs, and they earn some money before it was time for them to move on
"Hey boss is it okay if my daughter stays in here while I'm working, her usual sitter took off last night and no one has seen her so I was forced to bring her to work with me" I nodded happily
"Of course Dave you know I love having Gracie here, hey Gracie are you hungry sweety" I asked as I crouched down so we were eye leveled she nodded happily as she followed me into the kitchen, I noticed that she was very shy but she was extremely bright for her age; what her father didn't know is that every time she would come over I would secretly teach her how to read and write since she couldn't go to school due to how much her father had to travel to find work.
Dave thanked me and kissed his daughters head before he took off to work, I was just starting on some pancakes when Jasper came down the stairs stopping short when he saw the little girl
"Jasper I would like you to meet Gracie, Gracie this is my brother Jasper he just moved in with me after being away for a long time" he smiled at he as he stuck his hand out for her to shake, at first she kind of flinched back from him until she looked into his eyes and she must have saw something in them because she reached over and hugged him causing both of us to stare in shock
"Well I'll be I don't know if I should be proud or jealous it took almost a whole week before she gave me a hug and Jasper gets one right away, I see how it is" I said pretending to be upset before I turned continuing what I was doing, I almost laughed when I felt tiny hands wrap around my leg
"Don't be mad uncle Pete I love you" I smiled down at her as I placed her pancakes on a plate for her
"I know you do little one I was just kidding, hop to your spot its time to eat" I said laughing as she giggled before going to her spot at the table. While she ate I explained to Jasper about why I hired ranch hands and my plan for Dave and Gracie
"That's a great ideal, I forgot we had a smaller house at the other end of the property if you hired Dave on then we can have him sign some papers saying he's renting the house and Gracie would be able to go to school"
"That's exactly what I was thinking, its just getting him to agree is the hardest part he doesn't even like asking me to watch his kid unless its absolutely necessary"
"Leave the convincing up to me, you know I'm a expert at that kid of thing" he said laughing, I shook my head just as Gracie came into the living room where we were
"Uncle Pete are you going to teach me some more" she said as she sat at the little table I had in front of the couch
"You bet sweety but why don't you watch some TV first while I run to my office to get some work books and stuff you will need" she nodded happily as she reached for the remote and turned on a cartoon station, Jasper decided to sit with her while I went to get the stuff but just as I reached my office my cell phone began to ring the caller ID said it was Esme so I answered
"Hey momma Cullen, what's up beautiful are you ready to leave the hubby and come be with me" I said in my normal flirty voice I always use for her, she laughed happily
"Sorry Peter not this time, I was just calling to make sure Jasper got to you okay and to see how he was doing"
"Awe Esme how you hurt this poor soul, your not calling to see how I'm doing or see how I am, I see how it is" I said playfully
"Naw but in all seriousness he arrived last night and he seems to be doing alright now that the mating pull has finally went away, but I think he's worried like I am though"
"Worried about what" she asked sounded worried
"Are you alone right now, and can you keep this information from the mind fucker"
"I've learned how to keep that brat out of my mind years ago, and I'm at work at the moment while the others are at school so yes I'm alone now what's wrong with my boys" I sighed
"It seems that before Jasper left he over heard Alice and Fuckword arguing about there divorce papers but since the rooms there are sound proof he couldn't tell what they were saying he just saw them holding the papers and yelling, then on his way here he felt not only one mating pull but like me he felt three, two of them were very faint pulling him in opposite direction"
"Wow that means that you guys are part of a Quad, that's very rare for our kind but since you and Jasper are two of strongest vampires I'm not really surprised that you guys would have another mate, if I remember correctly the legends say that the vampires who are part of a quad will have the strongest bond that no one can ever come between once they become one and I also remember Marcus letting me read a old scroll that says that the sign of quad will signal the coming of a new rule within our race, that's why Aro is always keeping his eyes on everyone cause if you and your mates ever come together then you four will signal the end of the Volturi's rule weather you mean too or not so be very careful Peter"
"Thank you Esme for all that information, I'll keep it to myself for the time being and when I feel like its close to time for us to head towards our other mates I'll tell Jasper then I'll find a way to get a message to you as well"
"Thank you Peter no matter what anyone says you and Jasper are my family and I will never turn my back on either of you, if I hear anything about whats going on around here I promise you let you know no matter what"
"Thanks momma C, I'll talk to you later then love you"
"I love you too Peter, and give Jasper my love as well" he said before we hung up, I used my vampire speed to gather everything I would need and I grabbed my laptop as well before I went back to the living room. I'm so glad I had my office sound proof when I had it built other wise Jasper would have heard everything that was said plus it seems little Gracie had him distracted anyways by having him help her with a kids book I bought a few months back, I wish everything could always remain this peaceful but after what Esme told me that future seemed more like a far off dream but I'll be damn if I didn't give it my all to try and make it a reality.
