Chapter 7

Bella's point of view.

Carlisle had asked us all to leave Jasper's room so that he could rest and hopefully regain some of his memory as to what had happened earlier in the night. I sat down on the bed in the room Edward and I were staying in and watched as he peered out of the window.

"What's on your mind?" I asked.

"Hm?"

"I said what's on your mind? Your acting very distracted, and you never miss a word I say, and need me to repeat myself." I said accusingly.

Edward's hard face melted into a soothing smile as he got up from his chair and gracefully walked over to the bed to sit down next to me.

He put a hand on my leg and leaned in to kiss my cheek.

"Bella love, I promise there is nothing on my mind…I'm just worried about Jasper is all."

I got off the bed a shook his hand off my leg.

"I don't believe you. I can tell when you trying to keep something from me."

Edward sighed and closed his eyes. If vampires could get headaches from annoyance and persistence then I'm sure I'd be giving him a huge one right about now. But he knew he could never lie to me and get away with it.

"Bella…"

"No, stop it. I don't like being lied to and I have a feeling it has something to do with Jasper. If you know anything at all, Carlisle should know! He could be in danger, or hurt for we all know."

"Bella, it's not what you think. And it is nothing that Carlisle needs to know about right away."

"So there is something?"

"Yes, I read his mind before he blacked out."

There was a small pause in the room as we stared at each other.

"Was it important? What was he thinking about? Why did he freeze up before hand, and what in the world was he mumbling about?"

Edward chuckled lightly and came over to bring me back over to the bed.

"Playing 20 questions are we?" He smirked his crooked smile that I love.

"Well, if we are then answer them." I shot back.

Edward sigh again before he opened his mouth to speak.

"Jasper is going to kill me for this."

I tilted my head to the side for a moment confused.

"Kill you for what?"

"Telling you what was rushing through his mind at the moment it happened."

"I wont tell I promise."

Edward nodded and took my hand placing it on his lap.

"Before Jasper had been transformed centuries ago, there was someone before Alice."

"Like a girlfriend? Wife?"

Edward chuckled again.

"You wanted to know, let me tell you the story. And it was a girlfriend. Jasper's first love before he was transformed was with a girl that he met while doing military training. I remember he had told me, and only me the story once many years ago, and hasn't brought it up since. Since tonight that is, but he was only thinking it. He told me that she was one of the most beautiful, amazing, intelligent, understanding people that he had ever met in his life.

"They were together for a long while, and it was tough on their relationship on the count of Jasper always had to leave due to his military job, but their feelings for each other were so strong that it never left more then a tiny dent that was never hard to pop back out again.

"One day, she told Jasper that she had to go away for a week with her Family. Something to do with her fathers work. It pained him to have to be without her for that week, but he figured since he had to work it would make time fly by a lot faster.

"Jasper had told me when she had said her goodbyes to him before she left, something felt off. It was nothing she said or did, he couldn't put his finger on it. Something just felt strange. Jasper went to her house everyday and left an rose on her door step, so that she would receive them when she returned.

"He even started going more often to see if she had returned early. She never came back. He went back to her house for almost 2 years every day to see if she had returned. But she never did. Jasper eventually got the idea that she didn't love him anymore, and wanted nothing to do with him but was too afraid to let him know the truth. So she thought the easiest way was to just leave without telling him that she was going away forever."

I couldn't believe what Edward had just told me. Someone before Alice? I didn't know about this at all. I wonder if Alice had known.

"Bella you can't let him know that I told you, it would crush him."

"So there was someone before Alice?"

"Yes."

"What was her name?"

"Her name was Tayler."

"Tayler?"

"Yes."

I was so confused.

"But how did she have anything to do with what happened to Jasper tonight? And the mystery vampire girl?"

Edward looked down at the ground a small bit.

"Jasper…has reason to believe that the girl he saw tonight, was Tayler."

"What!?" I couldn't help but shout in his face.

"Yes, that's what I thought. It didn't make any sense. She would have died centuries ago, and the fact that this girl was a vampire, and in Forks. It's all too much of a coincidence but, Forks is a pretty crazy place when you think about it."

"So Jasper thinks this mystery vampire is his old love Tayler?"

"That's what I got from his mind, yes."

"But that's…that's crazy."

"It is. Unless, I have a theory. It's possible that she really did go with her family for that week, but then possibly wondered off by herself one night, and had an encounter with a vampire."

"So you think she was bitten and transformed?"

"It's a possibility. She could have gotten bitten, and then wasn't allowed to return to Jasper due to the way newborns are, she probably didn't want to put his life in danger. After she could control her thirst more, it's possible she was too ashamed of what she had become, and didn't want Jasper to have to witness her the way she was now."

I stopped to think about that for a second.

"That does make sense." I said putting my hand through my hair.

"Mhm." Edward mumbled standing up looking as though he was doing more thinking.

"If that was Tayler, then why is she looking for him? And why would she want to hurt him the way she did? If that was even her who made Jasper black out like that. Like Carlisle said, that ability is a rare one to be gifted with."

I thought about that for a second.

"Maybe she didn't come here looking for him, maybe it was by accident, all coincidences. Maybe as soon as she sensed more vampires she noticed Jasper and didn't want him to see her, or maybe she was so shocked that it was him she panicked and ran. She probably had the same reaction and thoughts running through her head just like Jasper's."

"It's a definite possibility." Edward said now looking at me.

"Exactly. Edward we need to talk to Jasper about this, or at least you do."

"I know Bella. I will in the morning, let him rest. He's had a long day."

I nodded and leaned back on the bed.
