You, Me, Him, Her... Us? What?

(Chris' POV)

I got dressed and we both had to step over passed out bodies that litter the floor. We make it to his car, a nice little pickup and I direct him back to my place. It's nice and weird all at once being in the car with him, both of us sobered up.

We make it to my place and we say goodnight and we will see each other on Monday. I walk into my house, then watch him drive off. After a moment I can feel wind, "How was the party?" Rose asks.

"You know damn well," I say turning around, "I was raised by vampires I know you all were watching."

"And you still-"

I cut Em off, "I'm not going to be afraid to live my life. And I really don't care that you all were watching, I figured you would."

(Jasper's POV)

I got control back from the Major and I'm just looking at her, shocked. I feel the Major scratching, kicking and punching, my walls are still weak and he throws me back into his cage, "Hey, Chris?" I hear him ask.

"Yes?"

'Don't you dare!'

"Can we talk?"

"Sure," she says with a smile.

"Well, climb on," he smiles, she complies, "We'll be back."

"Major!" Rose and Em hiss lowly, knowing full well this isn't me, but let us go.

We run for a good fifteen minutes, making it to an empty field where he lets her down, "So, what did you want to talk about Jazz?"

'Don't you dare!'

"First, Da'lin', I ain't Jaspa."

"So you're the infamous Major, then?"

"You'd be correct in your assumption."

'I swear to God!'

"Where's Jasper, Major?"

He points to our head, "In here. He ain't too happy 'bout me bein' out here wit' ya."

"Why's that?" she asks turning away from us. She feels calm, content. She walks around, looking for something to sit on, this causes the Major to run up behind her, pick her up and run to a rock and sets her down, he sits next to her. She yelped, it was kind of cute.

"He doesn't like it when I'm out, thinks I'm a monster, all because of those people," he spits out.

"I don't think you're a monster, humans are your natural prey, why is that monstrous?"

'Told you,' he says triumphantly, "I don't know."

"So, what did you want to talk about?" she sounds so innocent.

"Jaspa really doesn't want ya to know, or want to have t'is conversation."

"Well, Jasper isn't out and about Major, you are."

'Please!'

'She needs to know!' we look her right in the eye, I'm fighting to get control back.

She looks at me, "Jasper, I know you can hear me, stop fighting and let the man speak."

I'm speechless, the Major is chuckling lowly, "That stopped his fighting."

"Now, if you please..."

"Right," he leans forward, towards her neck, her movements slow. Her heartbeat stays strong and steady. He moves slowly and finally makes it to her neck, placing our chin on her shoulder, breathing cool breath on her neck.

"Major?"

"Yes, Da'lin?"

"What doesn't Jasper want you to tell me?" her heartbeat is still steady.

"Mine."

"What?"

"Like I said. Mine."

"I don't follow Major."

'Don't. Please. I'm begging you! Don't!'

"My Mate."

Silence. Her heart stops, for just a second mind you, but stops none the less.

(Peter's POV)

I made it and Eleazar accepted and we are headed to my best friend and daughter.

My knower is going off, telling me that when we get there Chris will be royally pissed off at Char and I.

Fuck me.

(V's POV)

"Are you sure about this?"

"That Seer would be our downfall."

"But the human-?"

"Has a much greater purpose."

"She's a human!"

"She won't be for long."

"SILENCE! ALL OF YOU TALKING AT ONCE AND ARGUING WILL GET US NO WHERE!" I hiss, "The human is vital. You are dismissed."

"Are you positive this will work?" I am asked after they all leave.

"No, but she's our only shot."

(Chris' POV)

He didn't just say that.

Did he?

I turn to him quickly, "You're joking."

"No, mi Amor, mi Vida, mi Corazon, mi Tesoro, you are my destined Mate."

I can her the capital he places in that word, Mate. How could they not tell me? I stand, I have to remain calm, but I need to get my energy burst from making me run like hell. I accept a LOT of things, but I hate, no DESPISE surprises, and this takes the cake.

"Why wasn't I told immediately?"

"Jasper wanted to let you live your life until the end of high school," I sense no deceit.

I turn swiftly, "THAT DOESN'T GIVE HIM, YOU, OR ANYONE ELSE THE RIGHT TO KEEP THIS FROM ME! I CAN STILL LIVE MY LIFE AS THEY WISH, BUT I HAVE EVERY GOD FUCKING RIGHT TO KNOW!"

I can feel him trying to calm me, but I just stare him down, causing a slight whimper, "You need to relax, Chris."

"Shut up! You lying son of a bitch!" I growl, wind starts to pick up and it starts to get chilly out, but I pay it no mind, "Why wasn't I told?"

"I don't know."

Water starts to fall, in all its glory; hail, show, rain, sleet. How could they? I trusted them! They kept the biggest thing from me and they expect me to stay calm. They lied to me! "How dare you!" I scream, "I trusted you!"

I look to the sky, the vast openness of sky and space. I sink to the ground. Yes, I'm still pissed, but I need to attempt to relax.

I hate them, I hate them all. They should have told me the truth.

No. I should have figured it out. I knew something was off, but this wasn't what I was expecting.

"Listen," he says sitting next to me, "I fought with Jasper about telling you, I didn't want to hide this from you. Please, I apologize, but now that you know you can go and do what you wish."

"I wish I was told this earlier," I say into my hands. I sigh and lay down on the cold ground, "I'm not going to stop living my life because you told me this."

"That's what I told Jasper," he tells me, "I don't expect you to stop living, just know that I'll, we'll, always be here until you're ready to be changed. IF you want to be changed, that is."

I smile, "I just want to make it through high school as a human."

"Seems fair enough," he says laying next to me.

(Jasper's POV)

I can't believe that he hasn't tried to claim her. They've been talking for about a half hour now, actually he's been asking her questions about herself and she's been telling him. She's still upset, but keeping her mind off the whole Mate thing is helping.

We sit up sharply, "Major?"

A rush of wind, can only be a vampire.

There is more than one.

We smell the air.

We know who they are.

"What the fuck do you want?" we hiss.
