A/N: So now we are in the Amazon mm?
I loved the Amazon clan so I thought it was a good idea to include them. Tell me in a review if you agree. Well I really have delayed this chapter – It has been in the drafts for a long time now. I just lost passion for the story when I thought people wouldn't enjoy it. Although my friend has told me that she wants me to continue so I will. I was thinking about writing An Alice and Jasper in the future, or Jasper and another Vampire. Not really sure, but I'm going to fix this Story first.
Sorry about the wait, hopefully this chapter is good enough!
DISCLAIMER: I do not own twilight, or its characters – Although a girl can dream!
MoonPhase-
We reached the Amazon forest in about 3 hours. Of course it could have only taken half an hour if there weren't humans everywhere, but there was. We had crossed thousands of miles apparently, according to Jasper.
We ran holding hands the whole time. Jasper said that it was a symbol to him that we were forever joined, especially in his heart. I couldn't help but understand where he was coming from.
"Jazz, can you smell that?! Can you Can you Can you!?" I was jumping up and down, dancing around. He chuckled and smiled.
"Jaazzzzzzz! That's a panther, I can smell it!" I started darting to my prey.
Growling as I played with it, then bit into its throat. Draining it dry, the taste was absolutely delicious. The best I've ever tasted.
I grinned as Jasper tried the same. He looked amazed; it must have been the same to him also.
Good. I wandered around the area, smelling new things and feeling the new breeze of a different continent. It was mesmerising. I could tell that there was a sun above me, but it didn't shimmer over my skin, it was blocked by the rich foliage.
I played with ferns and plants – It was so different to back home. To go from one breed to another was astonishing. It all changed so fast! One minute you're in dry areas, the next you're in the dense thick rainforest. Of course no humans had seen what I was seeing; I was strolling into the middle of the Amazon.
Most humans had only breached the crust of this amazing forest. It was too tedious for their human needs. Food, Water, Storage, Money and even the weather! It kept them away from these amazing new trees and shrubs – even the animals.
I was scooting through my human memories; it was so hard to see them clearly. They were so jaded, and unclear, especially baring in mind my new eyesight and memory.
I searched, looking at every tree and shrub I'd touched. This one had no matched – one of a kind.
I went searching through more; I knew Jasper was behind me somewhere, because I could smell him. But I wanted to search around me and consume my surroundings.
The place had an aura of home.
Home?
The next thing happened; I could smell another vampire coming towards us.
One directly north, and now it came closer I could tell there were 3 behind it.
I didn't stiffen, I knew who it was.
I cleaned myself up, and stood next to Jasper in anticipation, our hosts had arrived.
The amazons stood in a line of 3.
The one in the middle was taller than the others, and farine. All three looked as if they had been stretched – long arms and legs, long fingers, long black braids, and long faces with long noses. They wore nothing but animal skins – hide vests and tight fitting pants that laced on the sides with leather ties. It wasn't just their eccentric clothes that made them seem wild, but everything about them, from their restless crimson eyes to their sudden darting movements. I've never met any vampires less civilized.
"Jasper," The middle woman spoke, her voice was rough and deep. It matched her wild appearance.
"We received your message that you were coming, we are very pleased that you thought to warn us. We normally do not take strangers in our forest lightly." I felt the infliction on her words, and was instantly thanking Jasper in my head.
"Why of course, Dear Zafrina! We could not intrude on your hospitality. Greetings to you also Senna and Kachiri." Jasper bowed, and the women giggled, in that weird rumbling of theirs.
I guessed we were aiming at charm these days, I sighed internally.
"This is Isabella, she is a new vampire but with amazing control over her thirst. You are in no danger of her endangering your surrounding tribes, I assure you." Jasper courted around me and slid his hand into my open fingers.
I smiled at the women, they were amazing people, I could tell. But even though I would never admit it – the wild women scared me to death. Their jerky sudden movements scared me, even though I knew that they wouldn't hurt me. Zafrina did all the talking, but that did not make her the leader. In this coven I could tell that they were all one organism, and Zafrina just happened to be the mouth piece.
Zafrina told us that we were allowed into their "place", they didn't say home, because they felt more like the whole rainforest was their home. It probably was and I most certainly wasn't going to argue with them.
Jasper felt my discomfort and held me tighter, which made the girls giggle again of course. I felt comfort straight away; he always played with my emotions these days. He felt as if it was his way of doing everything for me. I understood.
The binds between Jasper and I were unbreakable, everything in the world didn't matter unless he was by my side. I could lose everything, but as long as I could see his perfect face, I would be content. It wasn't just because he was like a God, Or because of his pretty words, or because he loved me – all of me. It was because of him, that bit of heat inside of him. That intertwined energy that made up his soul; I knew it was there because I could feel it.
There was no questioning existence, no wonder when I was with his arms. They held me together – deep inside. It wasn't always physical, either. He was deep inside my very thought, we were forever joined. Not just soul mates, but two pieces that only fit together. No other could fill those pieces, no matter how hard they tried. I was his, and he was mine. I knew that, and understood it.
He loved me, all of me. All of my faults were just bonuses to him, they weren't downsides. I loved him, every piece of him. Downsides? I used to think he was moody, but now I understood, he never needed words to explain what he wanted you to hear.
We broke into a run, with the Amazons in front of us, and History behind us – Hands joined every step of the way.
We came to a small village like place. Things were made from old skins, woods, sticks and stones – yet it looked so perfect, so homey and so strong. It didn't look like it was Stone Age; it looked as if it was natural to look this way.
We sat at the edge of a makeshift fire. It was covered with pretty stones that threw colour in every direction. Everything was so graceful, being surrounded by a group of vampires.
It made me think back to my human days; I was always so clumsy. I shook my head.
I turned my mind to the objects around me – so many old vase-like objects, Aztec looking. I was intrigued.
Kachiri followed my gaze and smiled – it was a vampire smile, something that would scare humans.
"I was there when they crucified my Lord, I held the scabbard when the soldier drew his sword," She said in a whisper. There was a violently big grin on her face now.
I laughed with her, not understanding. Jasper took my hand and looked around – he knew a story would entail. So I waited.
(A/N I'm not really sure about the Amazon's past – So I'm making it up)
Kachiri almost seemed to be singling her emotions – Sorting through her memories. It looked completely magnificent. She looked up and smiled.
"I am lucky to have my power, it is only small, but it is something I really love. Because now I can remember our past – all the moments we had. I can remember all my human memories, although they are still hazy due to the difference in sight etc.
I was born Centuries ago, along with my Coven. We were part of the Aztecs great fight, little soldiers? No, we were the goddesses of that time. Since our Vampire looks and strengths shined to these people.
Tribes around the Amazon already know about the Goddesses in the Forest, but can never prove it. We all moved here after the great fight, since we wanted the quiet life, and to protect our, 'Food' as you wish. We have a great respect for our people – even as they have died out and are in small numbers.
There are other vampires we know such as the Obsidian Butterfly. She considers herself a God! We saw the ending of the Aztecs, and went into Retirement. The Amazon was always our home – We all were part of tribes around the outskirts. But other than that, we can't be sure of whether we are related or not – It looks and feels like it. But our past doesn't show anything." She shook her head.
Obviously they could not describe much of their past, It must hurt to look into all the people you lost, and all the people you would outlive.
Senna looked at me then, and stared at me straight in the eyes.
"Zafrina was changed by the Obsidian Butterfly – as she knew the great power she would possess. Although she gave her the option to go home, and visit her from time to time. She was on her way back to her tribe, knowing well that she wasn't strong enough to be with them – but just to see them," Senna looked at Zafrina and smiled.
"She stumbled across my tribe, and stayed clear. But she sensed a great danger on the crust of the forest. She heard me crying. I was dying, I knew it. I had tried for children but they had all failed. I was worthless to my tribe and felt it. Zafrina made me see light, and changed me into one of the Vampires. They went looking for me, but declared me dead. I was so angry,"
She looked like she was about to cry – if she could.
"And so the story tumbled, my tribe was corrupt, and believed that all the children must be elder born, which meant a form of rape by the head of the tribe – Although It's just the way it was back in our time. I refused and was beaten. Kachiri had a similar fate – It made us so much stronger a coven. We made peace within our forest. It was our home – and still is.
We visit other places in the world – but this will always be home. After so many years in the Aztecs, and in communities, we began to train our thirst and only hunt when we are thirsty."
She finally nodded, and let it go.
Her stories seemed painful – yet forgotten. Normally vampires had perfect images of their past lives, but the wild women respected their lives now and enjoyed them.
It was disorientating, after being with Edward for so long – Who hated his existence.
I shuddered internally at the thought of Edward. He had finally lost his mind, He still called. Sometimes I answered and asked to talk to someone else, sometimes Jasper answered, sometimes I just ignored him. Whatever I felt like.
We spent a lot of time with the Amazons; I became good friends with them. We told them about our gifts, and they told us theirs. Kachiri just had an amazing memory, Senna didn't really have one, but Zafrina had an amazing one.
We were in the thick forest; they were sitting yoga style on the forest floor, whilst I was sitting on Jaspers lap. They seemed so at home and so much a part of their forest – You could tell that they belonged here.
Zafrina made a comical face, and Jasper stiffened. I immediately worried, what was she doing to him?! Jasper smiled and hugged me closer.
"Zafrina's talent is imagery – she works with pictures that she can put in your head – like an illusion. Right now it looks like I'm alone in the forest, and the only way I can tell that I'm not, is because I can feel you in my arms." Jasper smiled, looking impressed.
"Wow Zafrina that is an amazing talent! I wish you could show me, stupid shield," I muttered. I sounded so immature.
"I was wondering about that young Bella," She said, her wild voice rumbling through the air. "You said that Eleazar felt you had a shield, well surely you must have so much more than that. I think that with practise you will be able to stretch your shield over your skin and move it so it covers others." She looked wistfully at me, I knew why. I had the ability to protect everyone I cared about, and more. Even if it was only mental attack, I could fight even Jane.
"Focus on your shield, after your change you should be able to feel it," Now she said it, I could feel it. It was like elastic covering my body, coating me. "I want you to try and move it away from yourself, try and cover Jasper. Jasper when you get your sight back, tell us."
Her face went blank, and so did Jaspers. I struggled with the fact that she might not be showing him very nice things at all. This made me just a bit pissy, I did not like the fact she was able to do this to Jasper and I could protect him.
I felt my shield constrict, and move over Jaspers skin. Immediately, I could feel his life force under my skin. His eyes focused again, and he grinned. Zafrina nodded to herself, and gave her wild version of a smile.
After a few weeks, the Amazons were my best friends. Surprisingly they had a jungle like telephone, so I could talk to them all the time. We bought a cottage at the edge of the Amazon, with the Covens permission. We emptied our clothes there, filled the house with furniture and connected it to a security camera circuit, so that we could visit it all the time from home – or we could have video conversations with the Amazons. Cool huh.
We connected a phone, and then called Esme to tell her the news of this house. We promised that she could come and renovate it whenever she wanted, she was ecstatic. She said that she would come in a few weeks, because there wasn't much to do at home. I was pleased, now that I had gotten used to money being spent on me, it was always nice to see Esmes work and an honour to have it in our home.
Jasper and I spent a lot of time together in that house; he said it needed to be christened. I agreed.
It was the afternoon, and Jasper and I were travelling through the forestry for a hunt. The Amazon coven tried this out the other week, and discovered that they would be able to sacrifice their thirst to animals if they had to. It was amazing that they would do that, although they didn't have the same motives as our Coven.
The forest is so thick here; it was like a sea of crowded people at a concert. There was always turns left and right. My eyes were still adjusting to the new animals and species of plants that I could see. It was so odd seeing new things that your human memories couldn't identify. Eerie even.
I stopped with Jasper as we stumbled across an oasis in the forest. A brief clearing that let in a dazzling sunlight.
He looked into my eyes with a smile on his face. He leaned into my body until I fell gracefully on the cool ground. His hands slid to my face as he looked deep into my Golden eyes. Laying practically on top of me, Jasper drank in me. My eyes, my lips, my Nose, my whole face felt drunk with only the attention of his gaze. I felt him close the distance to my lips, and we kissed.
Sweet at first, then turning to something rougher – more urgent.
We kissed for an endless amount of time. Drinking in the presence of each other, soul mates, forever.
"Belle," He whispered, singing slightly, with a slight husk to his voice – as the unmasked need was clear in his throat.
"I love you so much Isabella, You are my one and true soul mate. The meaning to life. The reason that I love who I am, because it means forever with someone like you at my side. Every day is another lesson with you, constantly missing you even though you're only a few metres away. I could never live without you Miss Swan, I never will. "
I gasped as he sat up, and then pulled me to a sitting position also.
The sun hit his skin then, illuming him in a splash of sparkles.
He got down on one knee and pulled something silver out of his pocket and into his hand, it threw rainbows of white light onto the near area – only like a diamond can, I gasped.
It was so beautiful, I could see tiny images of light inside the diamonds that reflected tiny images of Jasper and I together. It was impossible to see with human eyes.
If I was Human – I wouldn't have cried.
I wouldn't have shed a tear for this moment.
Not because I didn't feel for it – I sure did.
The emotions were like a thousand splintering suns hitting my chest and making it beat.
It was that nothing in this world could ever make me smile brighter.
"Yes," I whispered, letting the sound rattle through my teeth. "Yes, Jasper, Forever." I startled stumbling on words, choking on my happiness.
'Inside this ancient heart, you'll always be a part of me," He spoke into my collar bone, leaving an icy – but hot – breath skimming around my skin.
He slipped the beautiful ring onto my wedding finger, and kissed each fingertip, then reached to my face for an everlasting kiss.
I felt the triumph in his kiss; he joined us together so tightly I knew that we would be forever joined. He was my piece of the puzzle, my everything.
I slid my hands under his shirt and caressed his skin, the skin that kept me tied to this earth.
I kissed along his collar bones, the structure of my life and meaning.
I slid across his muscles and knew that I was held here in stone.
I felt a fire inside me, a true fire of love.
My Jasper, My love.
My everything.
Just then the wind changed, and hit me with a new scent.
I didn't know how I didn't notice.
I didn't know why I didn't know.
But as I looked into black coal eyes,
I knew one thing.
This moment might just turn from Triumph to tragedy.
Fast.
A/N: I love reviews so much, yet I never really get any! I really like feedback – I know there are a few edgy parts in this chapter – like the Amazons Story. But I was trying to get this out to Fan Fiction ASAP.
Please please please; Can we get to 60 for the next chapter?
*puppy face.
