Chapter 3: Accepted
Jasper's POV
Walking through the woods, I start thinking that for the first time in my life that I'm truly alone. While serving in the Confederate Army and in Maria's coven, I had friends. After surrendering Bella to Mr. and Mrs. Cullen, I feel alone. Though I guess that is the definition of being a nomad.
I eventually found a place to rest my eyes for a little. It isn't safe to be a single nomadic vampire in the world. Other vampires and covens a long with werewolves will hunt you down and kill you.
Ah morning, nice out today even though it's cloudy. Well, with the money that I have left, I'm going to the store to buy some formula. Alright, now all that I need to do is get it back to the Cullen's house and drop it off. I felt bad not leaving a lot of formula for them, so this was the least that I can do since they took in Bella. Now I know that it sounds weird that she would drink formula, but she also does have a healthy diet of blood as well. The formula just helps with her growth.
Once I got to the Cullen house, Emmett of all people answered the door and pretty much demands to know why I was there. Luckily Mrs. Cullen walked in and invited me into their house. Not wanting to be rude, I took the invite graciously, having to squeeze past Emmett in the process. "Mrs. Cullen, last night I didn't leave you with a lot of formula for Bella. So as a thank you for taking her in, I thought I would go pick some up for you." She looked at me and said "thank you, it is very kind of you, but you didn't have to use your own money." I handed her the container and I started for the door when she asked me where I would be going from here. I knew before I turned around that Carlisle was standing beside Esme. "Um…I don't really know ma'ma. I know that you and your family pretty much control this area, so maybe I'll head back down south." Truth be told, I didn't know what to tell her. I felt pain and sadness radiating from a number of people. When I turned around I saw the whole family standing there. I hate manipulating people's emotions, but I don't want pity from them. It's not their fault with what I'm faced with. So I send out wave after wave of calm to them, hoping it would work. It seemed to help a bit. "I want to thank you all again from the bottom of my heart. I can go on knowing that Bella is with people who really love her." I left after that, not knowing where I'm going.
So I find myself back at the diner where I have been coming for a few days now; thinking where I'm going to go. After thinking all day, I decided to leave this rainy town to see where life takes me. As I was walking through the woods; I got so caught up in my thoughts that I didn't detect the dangers that were lurking behind the shadowed tress until it was too late. I was hit full force by the stench coming from the werewolves. I stopped and turned around knowing that there were more of them and it was going to be an unfair fight.
"I know that you're there; so show yourselves instead of being cowards." Knowing from all the fight training that I have acquired over my life, they want to ambush me; the cold hearted cowards that they are. Then out comes from the shadows eight monstrous wolves ready to fight. I wouldn't and won't back down from them; it wasn't in my nature. I would fight till they ripped me limb from limb and burned my remains. The black wolf attacked me first and I did fine fending him off. Then without a silent call to the other pack members, they all joined into the effort to kill me. I was taken down from behind and now I was at their mercy. I was ignorant as to what else was lying within those same shadows.
I knew I was about to die when they knocked me unconscious. When I finally did start to come around, I saw that I now found myself in a new environment. I quickly got up and got into a defensive crouch. I then became light headed and was quickly caught by around the waist. I remember someone telling me to rest; that I was in no harm. Then with that, darkness took over every part of my body and mind.
I started moving around and I heard an angel's voice tell me that everything is going to be okay. I wanted to believe my angel, but I was still in an unidentifiable environment and hurting. I was able to wake up and this time, when I opened my eyes, I was met by my angel. The beautiful Alice Cullen was sitting by my side. As I was looking up at her…God she is so beautiful, that I forgot what I was saying. I believe I found my mate; my true love.
Once I'm fully awake, Alice told me that I was going to be okay and that I was at their house recovering. She also told me that they were the ones that fought off those retched; disgusting creatures (the werewolves). She came back into the room from the hallway and told me to get up; that I needed to move around. She walked downstairs and I slowly followed in suit. I was afraid of what the others would say and do; right now I was not in the condition to take on another vampire. I was still sore and my whole body was aching from the damage left by the wolves. Alice led me to the living room where her family sat. Once we were seated, her father Carlisle turned the TV program off. He looked at the two of us, like almost studying us in a way. Carlisle said that they (meaning the whole family) were talked and made a decision. He said "we were talking more heavily about letting you join our coven. Now we have both reasons why we should let you join our coven, and then why we shouldn't let you in. Though through much persuasion on some parts and conviction, we decided as a family that you have a place permanently in our family. We also agree that your attentions are good, and everything that our family for." Wow, hearing that, I think my jaw hit the floor because Esme came to me and asked if I was ok. I nodded my head to let her know I was just fine. Alice was holding my hand, Emmett and Edward were laughing, and Rosalie said "So yes or no?" I didn't have to think twice about my answer, but it took a minute or two to form the words "yes." So I accepted their offer to be part of their amazing family. It seemed like everyone was fine with the fact that I'm now a brother and a son.
I hope that you all enjoy this chapter. I know it brought me a little comfort after the horrible first two chapters that Jasper had to go through. I also wanted to mention that I am too a Kristen Stewart fan. I think that she is awesome. Well Enjoy Everyone! (#3)
