Chapter Three- A Tale of Two Siblings
Stephenie's POV
I was still going through my closet when I heard people moving around downstairs.
"Bella, where's that annoying little Steph?" Viktor asked.
"I HEARD THAT," I shouted.
"I'll go get her."
I heard two pairs of footsteps coming up the stairs. Then stop at my closet door.
"Now this is a closet." A familiar voice said.
"Alice?" I asked spinning around.
"Hey Stephenie! I didn't know you were—"
I didn't let her finish her sentence. I rushed past Bella and down the hall. Ignoring the two following me, I vaulted over the banister and landed on the first floor. There were seven vampire's looking at me like I was crazy, one being Viktor.
"JASPER!!!!!" I screamed, tackling him.
"Steph?" Jasper was shocked.
"No duh," He laughed and hugged me.
I could hear his family wondering why Alice wasn't pulling me off or trying to snap my neck.
I pulled away, "So Alice is the jealous type is she?"
They looked shocked and I laughed. Jasper just shook his head.
"Everyone, I'd like to introduce you to my sister." He said.
I smiled and waved.
"Were you changed by Maria too?"
"No, I'm his actual sister. I was changed while he was off fighting the war. You have no idea how surprised I was when I saw him again.
Bella was glaring at me, Why didn't you tell me about this?
"I'm sorry Bella. I didn't know the Edward you knew was the Edward Jasper knew!" I defended.
She continued to glare at me but it was more joking.
"It's nice to meet you," Rosalie said, "But why haven't we met sooner?"
"When I met Jasper again he and Alice were on their way to a coven she had seen living off animal blood. I can only guess it was yours. Me and Viktor were living together off animal blood already. I love my brother more than anyone on the planet but I don't belong in his family. Besides," I smiled mischeviously at Jasper and he smirked, "It was easier to learn how to beat him without him there with me."
"You think you could beat me now?" Jasper challenged.
"I know I could," I said with a smirk.
"Let's find out."
"I wouldn't do that," Viktor warned, "She's going to win."
"I doubt it," Jasper said.
"Outside, now! Viktor get the box for me?"
Me and Jasper went out back and stood staring at each other. Our families followed. Alice and Bella had amused expressions. Viktor was last out, caring a long black case.
"I got a new set." I explained, "The Volturi sent them as a thank-you for finally changing Bella."
Before Jasper could respond I was knocked to the ground by Edward.
"IT WAS YOU THAT DAMNED HER TO THIS!!!" He yelled.
Viktor and Jasper stepped forward to help but I told them to stop. I hit Edward with a kick that threw him off me and crouched next to him.
"Listen up, it was me that changed her, but it was also me that helped her stop beating herself up about you. I was me that taught her how to survive in our world. It was me that convinced her to live and it was me that wouldn't let her jump off the damn cliff in the first place!!!! But it was you that "damned" her to this because you made her aware of our world. The Volturi were going to kill her because she knew too much. And you know as well as I that they wouldn't have killed her painlessly."
I twisted him to face Bella, "She is happy and in love because of me. Her and Viktor would never leave each other like you did. So don't you dare speak to me like that!!!"
I wonder if I should help her or him? Jasper thought, I always though exactly what she's saying but he is my family.
That's when it really hit hard. The truth I'd been denying. This was Jasper's family. I faced Jasper now.
"I'm sorry. I'll just leave now," and I took off.
Jasper's POV
I watched my sister chew out Edward. I knew she had a right too, he had attacked her and she was just saying what we'd all been thinking. But at the same time Edwards was in my family now.
As soon as I thought that her mood changed for the worse. She stepped back and looked at me sadly.
"I'm sorry. I'll just leave now." She said.
"Can you wait here?" I asked my family. Carlisle nodded and I raced after her.
As I followed her trail I thought about Steph.
I had always been protective of her and afraid something might happen. When we were human she wasn't allowed to leave the house, only when she had to get me to come in for supper. I was afraid something might happen to her so I began teaching her swordplay when our parents weren't home.
She got really good, real fast but I was always bigger and stronger so I always won. I remember how sad she was when I left for war. The thing I remember most from when I was a human was the pain I felt the day I got the letter about her death. That was the day before I was changed.
Then I recognized it. The pain I had felt as a human was the same pain Stephenie had been feeling all day. Then after she was fighting Edward it had been multiplied a thousand times.
Suddenly she stopped running. I was so lost in thought that I crashed into her. She kept me from falling. When I looked around I saw we were somewhere in Utah. She was sobbing.
"Aren't you mad at me?" she cried tearlessly.
"Why would I be mad at you? Edward shouldn't have attacked you. I just want to know why you are so sad."
"I miss how it used to be." She sighed falling over so she was sitting on her knees. I sat next to her.
"You mean when we were human?"
"Yes. It was just you and me. We were a family. Back at the house I realized something I've been denying for a long time."
"And that would be?" I pressed gently. Knowing she would tell me everything if I was patient.
"I'm not your family anymore. They are."
I brushed the hair, which was the exact shade as mine, out of her face.
