A/N: Alright everyone... sorry for the e-mail saying their was a new chapter. I accidentally posted the non-editted version. Here's the revised one. Enjoy.
Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight
"I'm ready." she answered. I was trembling. If I were human, I'd probably have crapped my pants. Part of me wanted to never see Ed or Alice again and just run away, and another just wanted them to burst through the door and kill me here and now.
"That can be arranged." Edward said, walking through the door. Alice was beside him but she was absolutely quiet. Her eyes were empty. It was as if someone had made a sculpture of her. I saw her here and now but it was like she was dead. It felt like my stomach was in knots. If I were human, I'd most likely run to the bathroom and puke. 'I don't know what to say Ed...' I thought in my head. The most raw fierce kind of anger radiated off of him. I knew he was mad but what did he want me to say?
"How about why this room is filled with the smell of Bella?" he shouted. "How about how I see the image of Bella naked in your head as me and Alice are pulling up the drive! Not only did you have sex with my girlfriend but do you realize how dangerous that was for her!"
"We didn't have sex Edward." Bella chided. "And I was never in danger. He had excellent control Edward."
"Oh did he Bella?" he sneered. "You do realize how dangerous that was right?"
"He's more experienced." she plainly answered.
"More experienced?" he yelled.
"Yes Edward." she defended. I couldn't help but smile. "He has a lot of physical control."
"Okay, yeah Bella. He's more experienced physically." he agreed. "But he's only been with Alice! He has never been with a human girl! Their is a large difference between vampire girls and human girls! When humans get aroused their heart beats faster! When humans get turned on their blood pumps faster. There is a reason I haven't gone far with you!"
"Well my blood doesn't effect him the way it does for you." she interrupted.
"That's because every human is like that for him right now!" he shouted. Alright, I understand he's worried about my control but it was still incredibly insulting for him to be saying this not only in front of everyone here but also acting like I wasn't even here. I was older than him. I was older than him by a good 80 years. The only person who I would take this type of continual criticism from was Carlisle, as he truly is like a father to me. He didn't know physically what it was like for me. Sure he could hear my thoughts but that didn't mean all of a sudden he was an expert on knowing my self control. I could feel how difficult it was for him.
"Okay Jasper..." he directed at me. "I don't know how it feels for you. Have you completely forgotten about her birthday? About how a simple paper cut made you lose it."
"Well you know what!" I yelled back. "You weren't looking that good yourself buddy! Remember? You were holding your breath the entire time!"
God I wish Alice would say something. She was completely silent, verbally and emotionally. It was as if she wasn't alive. She was breathing so surely she smelled what had gone on, but she had no emotion. I tried to look her in the eyes but it was as if she was staring right through me. 'What is she thinking?' I thought looking at Edward.
"You want to know what Alice is thinking? Tell me what Bella's emotion is right now." he said. Holding her soft warm hand, I absorbed her emotions. She was stressed and frustrated. But there were still hints of happiness and confidence in her.
"Now tell me what she is thinking." I ordered.
"She isn't thinking much." he answered. "Just reading me and you. Now back to what we had been talking about. How you slept with Bella!" I was really getting tired of him saying that. He was acting as juvenile and possessive as that mutt he hated from La Push.
"Don't you dare compare me to him." he growled, rage coursing through him. "And I have a right to be protective of Bella."
"Because I have zero self control and will bite any human who gets close to me?" I replied sarcastically. "Tell me then Edward. How is it that I did all I did and Bella is still human? How is it that my mouth kissed near all her major arteries and she's still human?" Suddenly his eyes went wide. 'Yes Edward, even femoral.' I thought with a smirk, licking my lips. His lips pulled back and he bared his teeth.
And then I felt it. Pure anger. Looking at Alice, she had the same face, but the anger I felt was definitely coming off of her. Shit. She must've realized where I meant when I said all arteries. I looked in her eyes but she wasn't looking at me. Her eyes were glued on Bella. Her gold eyes had quickly turned to almost pitch black. This was not good. Almost instinctively, I moved back, holding Bella, pulling her close to my body. 'She's realized what I meant hasn't she.'I asked looking at Edward.
"Yes." Edward answered with one work. "To both of you." Wait a second... What had Alice asked him?
"What did you ask him Alice." I gulped, looking at her.
"Are you thinking about the taste of her." she answered, seemingly void of emotion. But her aura definitely said otherwise. "And what did you ask him?" Shoot... I should've known she would ask that.
"If you realized what he meant by all arteries." Edward answered.
"Thanks Edward." I thanked sarcastically.
"Well when you licked your lips I think even Bella could tell what you had meant." he replied back with just as much sarcasm. Breathing in, I realized that this was getting us nowhere. I also realized that the room was still filled with the scent of me and Bella's fun.
"Your fun?" Edward screamed, finally snapping. Grabbing Bella and tossing her onto the bed, I then moved to tackle Edward. Leaping to his feet, I bit my lip. I had to stop this now. Please don't fail me now powers. I pushed out as much calming vibes into the bedroom. I could see exactly when it hit everyone. It was like they had been running, fast and full steam, and then they hit into a wall of water, or better yet, some sort of thick gas. Their eyes stayed black, minus Bella, but they all looked as if they had just smoked the biggest joint in the world. Slowly pulling back the cloud of calmness, I saw each of them breathe a bit and come to their senses.
"Fighting isn't going to help anyone." I finally said, walking back over to Bella and getting her off the bed. As she stood up, I wrapped my arms around her. "I'm incredibly sorry Edward alright. But I promise you this will be the only time."
"No it won't." he refuted, still a bit angry. God damn it why didn't he believe me.
"Edward, don't just blatantly say that to him." Alice said. "He's trying to calm us down. Lets not get riled up. What Edward meant to say was that even though you say it'll be a one time thing it won't."
"Alice." I pleaded. "Please... not you too."
"I can see it Jasper." she answered, not even sounding upset. "And so can he."
"Alice," I said exasperated. "Look, I'll decide right now. I'm not going to be with Bella." Suddenly Edward stiffened up, his mood changing to sheer fear. Wait a second... what did he see? Looking at Alice, I saw her expression change as well.
"What?" I asked, getting scared myself.
"You see what will happen if he chooses not to be with her?" Alice said as I began getting angry. I hated being out of the loop. What happened in her vision?
"You go crazy." Edward said simply. "You are addicted to her body. If you get cut off, you snap. You like the warmth of her skin. Being with Alice won't be enough. Its either you snap and end up trying to find another human and kill them or you kill Bella."
"What are you talking about Edward!" I half laughed. "I love Alice. My body naturally reacts to her." Closing my eyes, I replayed memories of Alice and me. However, to my surprise it seemed duller now. No, he couldn't be right. I tried recalling the most arousing memory I could of her. Of her on her knees, her small wet mouth wrapping around...
"Enough Jasper." Edward cringed interrupting my thoughts. "Look at yourself. Are you getting turned on?" He was right. I wasn't. Taking a small breath in though, my entire body shuddered. The smell of her was still thick in the room. I fought to keep the memories from coming back, for Edward's sake, but my body couldn't help but react to the sweet delicious scent as I felt my shaft stiffen and heard Bella blush. I guess I was holding her closer to me than I had thought.
"So then what happens now?" Bella asked.
"Do you want to try being with him more Bella?" Edward asked, pain clear in his voice.
"Are you alright with me dating him?" she asked. I knew it was just me, but I swear when I heard that, I felt something beat in my chest.
"I know him better than I know that mutt who likes you." he answered. "I can watch him more than I can watch Jacob... So yeah." Grinning from ear to ear, I took another deep breath, quickly regretting it. God... Just smelling her made me want to do so many things to her. No... this was not the time or place for those kinds of thoughts. Maybe I should go for a hunt...
"Yes." Edward and Alice said in unison. "Go hunting now."
"Bella, you should go home." Edward said. Letting go of her, I backed away, looking at her.
"We can talk later." I said to Bella. Taking one last breath, I walked over to the window and opened it. Perching myself on the ledge, I dove off, and landing gently on the ground beneath me. Taking a large breath in, I noticed that about six miles away, there was a small herd of deer. I guess it wasn't as good as something like a carnivore, but it was far enough away that I could be alone with my thoughts.
Bolting through the woods, I took in the fresh April air. I was getting closer to the deer. Closer... closer... I sprung through a bush and, like some sort of mountain cat, tackled the deer with ease. Breaking its spine, I sank my teeth into its neck, drinking as much as I could. I'd definitely tasted better blood before but blood was blood. If it meant I could see Bella again it was worth it.
Sniffing the air to make sure Edward's scent was no where nearby, I finally let out all the thoughts I'd been holding in while with him. Had this really just happened? Had I gone from going out with Alice, my girlfriend of about 50 years, to my brother's human girlfriend I'd known all of about a year? Although everything in me said that this was crazy, I was calm with it. I accepted this new life. The only question would be how would the others react? How would other members of our family take it? How would people at school respond? How would the werewolves react? Especially Jacob... He would most likely get pissed. How would Charlie take it? I knew he didn't like Edward but would he be alright with me dating Bella? He loved Alice. Would he be mad at me for leaving Alice for Bella?
Growling, I smelled the air yet again as I smelled some sort of carnivore off in the distance. Taking a deeper breath, I disserned that it was a coyote. A devious smile spread across my lips. Just what the doctor ordered. Bolting through the forest, I leaped up into the trees, the branches whisking by me. Climbing higher into each tree I jumped into, I was soon leaping from treetop to treetop, as the scent of the coyote got closer. Stopping just short of a clearing, I spotted the coyote, as I crouched down. Venom began to well up in my mouth and, when the coyote turned away from me, I sprung. The thing I enjoy about carnivores is that they tend to fight back against their attacker. They aren't just something you kill within seconds. They make you work a bit before they go out. When I landed near it, the coyote spun around and made a gnarling noise at me. Jumping at it, I pinned it to the ground, as it tried to bite my arm. Hardly even leaving a scratch on my arm, I bit down into its neck, enjoying the taste of coyote a lot more than those watered down deer. I continued drinking, surprised just how thirsty I had been.
Looking at my hands and clothing, I realized I was also being quite the messy eater. I could take a shower once I got home, but I didn't feel like going back their so soon after leaving. I could go eat something else... But I didn't want another mule deer and I couldn't drink too many carnivores as most carnivores who lived here were uncommon or rare and I didn't feel like being responsible for a species becoming endangered. Perhaps I could find some river to bathe in. It would also allow me to alleviate a certain strain I still seemed to have. Closing my eyes, I opened my ears to take in all the sounds of the wilderness.
I mainly heard the fast rapid heartbeat of the small animals hiding in the trees around me. Probably after seeing me attack this coyote their not sure whether to be happy that predator is gone or scared that a new predator, me, has arrived. If only I could tell them they didn't smell appetizing and were far to small for me to drink. Tuning them out, I listened farther, hearing the gentle rush of water against rocks. It seemed to be about eight miles or so south of where I now was.
As I began to walk, this time going at a casual pace, I stopped to take in and enjoy the nature around me. I wasn't in a hurry to go bathe. Not like I had been just a few minutes ago to get out of the house, and then to go get something to eat and then to go get the coyote. No... If anything I would try and draw out this hunt as long as I could. I didn't want to go back to the house. What would happen if I just ran away right now? No, I couldn't do that... Alice would see and stop me. Or would she? I couldn't just leave this family though. Especially not leave Bella. To leave her after this would be worse that what Edward did to her when we all left. She was my girlfriend now. Stopping for a second I felt the words truly sink in. She was now my girlfriend.
"Bella Swan is my girlfriend." I said out loud, knowing no one else was listening. Continuing to walk, I jumped up into a tree and began leaping from branch to branch. Forks was a lot different than where I grew up. For one, it actually had sun during the day. There also weren't so many mountains and forests. Just wide open plains and canyons. I loved this family and being here but every now and then I do get homesick. Maybe one weekend I could take Bella down to Texas. I had always wanted to go and hunt a feral hog. I could have myself some ham and catch and kill one for her. Did she like ham? Most humans seemed to love bacon. If I was going to actually take her, I'd have to learn how to cook and cut the meats of animals. Maybe I could teach her how to use a rifle and have her shoot a hog herself. That would be fun telling everyone. Telling Edward I took her hunting with me, even after he knew I meant with a gun, would make him nearly lose it. Maybe sometime this summer.
Looking up, I saw the large river in front of me. Unbuttoning my shirt, I tossed it to the side, moving to then unbutton my jeans. Pulling down my pants and boxers, I tossed them over to where I tossed my shirt. Taking a few steps back, I ran and dove into the water, glad that the river was pretty deep. Maybe I could take Bella here one time as well... Thinking about her again, my body instantly reacted. Elated that I was finally alone, my hand went down into the water, as it wrapped around my length. Closing my eyes, I pictured how warm she had felt when I slipped my fingers in her. A deep wanton moan escaped my lips. I recalled how tight and wet she had been, beginning to pump my hand back and forth. To be honest, it felt incredibly strange touching myself. Their were only a select few times in the past 200 years that I had to relieve myself, seeing as Alice was almost always there to help me out. Shaking my head, I gripped my length tighter, trying to mimick and guess how tight she would be if I did go inside her. I pumped my hand faster and faster, as I felt the tell tale signs of the build up. Closing my eyes, I imagined the look on Bella's face and the sound of her whimpers and moans as I pushed her over the edge. Moaning at the top of my lungs, my long needed climax ripped through me as I was glad I was in the water.
Taking a deep breath in, I enjoyed the smell of the Douglas fir and White pine trees. Although at times I missed Texas, this environment is what kept me at peace. Though I didn't grow up with large mountains and wet rainforests, it was the flora and fauna that seemed to thrive here that made me happy to live here. Submerging myself underwater, I looked around, holding my breath, seeing the different fish. Seeing a steelhead salmon, I cocked a smile, becoming slightly curious. Salmon was a fish humans could eat raw. A part of me wondered if vampires could consume sushi then. The rice, seaweed, and vegetables probably wouldn't taste so good for us, but raw fish did still have blood in it, didn't it?
Springing at the fish, I quickly grabbed it with my hands, as it thrashed and squirmed to get free. Little bugger was slippery, But I kept a good grip on it. Bringing it close to me, I stopped for a moment to try and gauge where on its body would be equivalent to the mammalian jugular. It seemed to run right along the upper spine of the fish. Biting down, I drank the blood, the blood tasting quite different than a mammals. It seemed to have a smoother creamier taste. Snapping the fish in half, I let it sink to the bottom of the river, as I scanned for another salmon.
Maybe I could use it to get on Mr. Swan's good side. I could offer to make sushi for them. That way I could eat it and not have Charlie be suspicious. Which made me wonder, did Edward ever eat human food while around Charlie? He didn't really eat anything when hanging with Bella's friends, but her dad was a whole other thing. He was a big man. And come to think of it, if me and Edward were human, I would eat more than he would. If I didn't eat anything would he become suspicious? Spotting another fish, I sprung at it, grabbing it with ease, this time however not biting it. Coming up out of the water, I started walking toward shore when I stopped for a moment. Something felt off.
Taking one long deep breath, I could've sworn I smelt just the faintest trace of another, unknown, vampire. Where exactly was I? Hurrying to shore and tossing the fish on the rocks, I quickly got my clothing on, pulling my phone out of my jeans pocket. Pressing the "My Location" widget, the coordinates 47°53'12.66"N, 123°57'37.38"W showed up. (A/N: you can search this location if you'd like) Just over the mountain in front of me was the Hoh River... Could the vampire be over there? Taking another long deep breath in, the scent was now completely gone. Whoever I had smelled moments ago was now out of range for me to find. I felt just a tad bit uneasy about it, seeing as their seemed to be a lot of people being turned by the reports in Seattle, but I wasn't super worried. If something were to happen to our family, we'd all be prepared with Alice and Edward in our family. Picking up the salmon, I plugged in the coordinates to our house. I had wondered a good 20 miles from our house.
Deciding I had been out long enough, I bit my lip as I jogged back to our house. Hopefully my time out hunting had given Edward and Alice time to calm down, although to be totally honest Alice hardly showed any emotion. I guess she had been communicating to Edward telepathically. What I still couldn't understand though was how she was so calm about me going with Bella. It felt almost as if she was trying to have me be with Bella. Continuing to look at my phone for direction, I wondered if Edward would be calm enough for me to ask him a couple questions about Bella and her father. I knew that her mom and dad were divorced and that her mom was now married to some baseball player. I would really have to learn about everything Edward knew. Realizing I was nearing the house, I took a few deep breathes, clearing my head. Crossing over the river behind our house, I tried to read Edward and Alice's emotions. They definitely seemed to have calmed down. Stopping for a moment however, I realized their was a third person their, and it couldn't be Bella. As I breathed in and couldn't detect their scent, I ran into the house not sure who exactly to expect.
A/N: Hmmmm... so who could this mystery vampire and mystery guest at the Cullen house be? Leave your suggestions and tell me what you think of chapter two ^_^.
