Chapter 8 – Newbie
JASPERPOV
Edwin stood panting in a corner. Alice was crouched a few feet away on my left, and Carlisle on my right. Emmett and Rose were poised by the giant window. Esme at the door.
"Give it up newbie." I growled.
"I'm not a newbie. Nor was I ever."
Everybody in the room was confused.
"Whatever." I said angrily. "Just give it up. You won't win this battle. Nor will you ever win one against us."
"Yes, I am aware of what you, as a group and as individuals, have accomplished in the past. Every decade of it." he grinned. "Apparently your right. This battle is lost," he stood straight. "But as the saying goes, I haven't lost the war." And with that he jumped over Rose, feet right over her head, and out the window. From where I stood I could see him land gracefully and sprint into the forest.
Everyone waited a few moments, then I raised a hand, and they relaxed.
Alice fell in a heap. She was exhausted.
"You okay?" I asked.
"Fine, fine." She waved me away. "Just need to breathe." She waited another moment before springing lightly to her feet. "Bella." She said suddenly. "She's changing isn't she Carlisle."
The rest of us turned to Carlisle.
He nodded.
"She will soon be one of us."
