Hello Guys,

Another chapter updated! ;D You had a good Christmas?

CHAPTER FIVE

~Jasper Whitlock~

"... and that's why I'm here" I told him. "My sister and brother are here, to find a guy who can see my ability..."

While listening to my story - I had described what had happened to me in the last months in every little detail - he had changed his way on looking at me. "That's very... new," he mumbled, not really knowing what to say.

"So you see, I have to go there, Jane and Alec are there - please!?" I begged, I had to go. I couldn't just leave them. I couldn't just abandon them. "I'm sure I can make them go away!"

Jacob sighed but nodded. "Ok."

"Come on, hurry then!" I said and grabbed his hand. It was warm - probably too warm, but in that moment nothing could stop me. I dragged him with me out to the car.

"Let me drive," he said. When I hesitated he added, "You won't find it."

I nodded once, and jumped in on the other side. We sat there, both of us quiet. It took a while - but to me, that while seemed like forever. But then we got there, a big modern house. Partly built of wood.

A guy was standing outside. I recognized his features; pale and gorgeous. But there was something different with him. He didn't have red or black eyes, his eyes were golden. Pure gold, in a topaz color. I shivered pleasantly. As I looked into his eyes, I knew he had to be good.

"Jacob, why did you take this human with you?" he asked Jacob - He had an texas accent. His voice was soothing, making me want to touch him. - and crossed his arms. "I really don't want anyone getting hurt."

"Well, she claims she's their sister," Jacob told him. "We can use her, they won't hurt their own sister!"

Use me? Dammit, was I kidnapped? If I was... then I knew there was no chance I could escape! The vampire looked at me with new eyes. "Really?" he asked happily. "This is good news, go and tell Bella, please. She's too worried. You know, she believes they're after Renesmee - even though Edward tells her they're not!"

Jacob nodded and started walking but stopped. "Umm... you wi-"

"I won't hurt the girl," he said, looking at me - making me shiver again.

Jacob nodded again, and walked into the house leaving me with the vampire.

"Hello," he chuckled, amused by my sudden tongue-tiedness.

"You're a good vampire, right?" I choked out, just to be on the good side.

"What makes you think that?" he asked, his face suddenly blank - but I saw in his eyes that he was pleased of me thinking so.

"Your eyes... I have never seen anything like yours. They're beautiful-" I took a deep breath and whispered, "- When I look into your eyes, I know you can't be evil."

"I try," he said, answering my question.

Why would I think something else? Jacob would, I hope, never leave me with a vampire who is to kill me. "Tell me your name," I said smiling, suddenly feeling braver than usual. "And I'll tell you mine."

"I have many names, Jasper Hale, Jasper Cullen, Jasper Whitlock - I guess Jasper Whitlock is the most original one."

"Then it'll be Jasper Whitlock - though I'll probably just call you Jasper," I said and grinned. "I'm Katie Brown."

"Well, I'll probably just call you Katie," he said and laughed lightly.

"What will happen to my siblings, Jasper?" I asked him. "They don't want to hurt you!"

"They are close actually - I think they are hunting before coming to us," he mumbled. "Katie, we won't kill them!" he said in a higher tone, and looked me deeply in the eyes - and I must say that I got a bit dizzy. "We are more than them, they can't do us any harm - we won't let them come close to us."

"Yeah, but what if they by accident got close," I said. "What if they happened to trick one of you out and kill that person - two against one," I said, breaking away from his stare. "I know what would happen - you would kill them!" It was easier to say than I thought it would be. "Don't let it go that far - let me talk to them!"

"Katie - I don't know you so well, but I won't let anything happen to you!" he said, he held my chin up with his hand so he could look me in the eyes. "And as long as they know we've got you, they won't do anything!"

"What if they believe you've hurt me, or even worse, killed me," I said not flinching away by his touch - I found his cold fingers quite pleasent. "Do you think they would step away, let you go back to normal?" I said bitterly, holding his eyes. "My siblings are good, but they have been drawn in the wrong way - I don't like it, the Aro guy," I sighed. "I think... I think Alec and Jane doesn't want me to meet him, they don't trust him. I was there, in Volterra, for four months - and they never brought me to him. They respect him, but are at the same time terrified of him!"

"And your meaning?"

"They don't want this, they want to be like you - they want a family!" I said. "Jane told me about you, not eating humans, she believes you're crazy... I think you're doing the right way, could you just talk to them, make them a part of your family, please - they want to be different, they want to be good, nobody wants to be a monster!"

"You can't talk someone into changing their lifestyle - they have to choose it for themselves," he said quietly and I nodded, getting his point. "Hey, lets go inside - I believe Alice can't wait to meet you, she must see you now when you're not with Jacob - she can't see werewolves."

"Jacob is a werewolf?" I said, and to my happiness - I sounded suprised and not scared.

"Oh, I thought you knew." he said and gave me a smile, looking like he wanted me to be afraid. "Are you scared?"

"No..., I'm just surprised" I lied and took a deep breath, "I guess I shouldn't be - why wouldn't there be werewolves if there is vampires?" I said and quickly changed the subject "I'll come with you."

He shook his hand and laughed, I knew why; I would come with him whatever I liked it or not. He took my hand, pulling me with him. "You'll like the others," he said just before he pulled me inside.

A girl spinned around, looking worried. She was beautiful and pale - like all vampires, but just like Jasper her eyes were gold. She was cute and petite, her hair was black and stood in all different directions. But it was gorgeous - she was gorgeous. "I... didn't see you coming there," she mumbled and hurried forwards. She looked confused.

Jasper at once looked worried. "Alice, what's wrong - what have happened?" His arms went around her.

"Jasper - she... I can't see her" she whispered, looking like she was in pain. "All I can see is..." she stopped for a second, and then called out the last word, "- me!"

"What?" Jasper said, confused.

"I see myself," she said and pulled away. "I'm going to Carlisle, maybe he knows the answer to this, I really hope he does. Stay with the girl, Jasper. I'll be fine!" Then she was gone - vampire speed, I guess.

"Let's go to Bella," he mumbled, his grip around my arm had gotten harder the moment Alice had been disappearing. He pulled with me up the stairs and into the closest room from the stair. "Bella."

"Jasper, tell me about it," she mumbled, as she set her eyes on me, her voice warm and welcoming.

She was beautiful - more beautiful than any human and vampire I had ever seen. Her hair was brown and shiny, falling down on her back. When I looked into her eyes I could only compare her to a bird, flying were it's wings took her. Beautiful. She was holding a little girl, the girl was also very beautiful. Her hair was curly in a bronze color. She was pale but had a little blush on her cheeks. When I noticed her eyes I stopped breathing for a second; they were in a brown color, a chocolate brown color. Next to her was Jacob, he smiled to me quickly.

"It's Alice," he said. "Alice can't see her, I have to find her - just watch the girl a second for me, will you?"

Then he left the room, Jacob walked behind him after saying, "Bye Nessie, I'll see you later - then we can play with barbies just like you wanted to."

"You're Bella, right?" I finally said and she nodded, grinning widely.

"And you're Katie." I had never heard a voice that clear.

And that was the moment when finally someone could explain the Alice is 'seeing' part.

-------------------------------------

"You see, Alice can see the future, Edward can read thoughts, Jasper can manipulate others emotions and I'm... I'm a shield," Bella said, watching me. She had been telling me a lot about their family.

I was playing with her daughter. She was cute, giving me peasant pictures. "Catie." she said, smiling widely. That was what she called me; Catie. Like Cat but with ie after. I laughed - I liked her daughter. Bella had told me the story. While she was still human, she and Edward had made love, and then came Renesmee.

"And you think I have some sort of ability too?"

"Yes, but we're going to ask Eleazar to check you."

"So Eleazar is here?"

"Yes - he couldn't stay in Alaska when Aro was looking for him, so he came to the most powerful Coven beside The Volturi," she said, looking almost a bit worried. "That's why they're here, right?" she said quickly. "Because of Eleazar?"

"Yes - but mostly because of me," I told her. "They want him, so they can see if I've got a power."

Bella nodded, "If I know Aro right - he will come right down here when he gets to know that you're not with Jane or Alec." I shivered, my heart drumming faster than usually. "I'm sorry, I scared you," she pointed out. "It wasn't my intention, I didn't know you was afraid of him - I thought you had already met him. I should have remembered my fears from when I was a human; I apologize"

"It's ok," I said, embarrassed.

"The only thing I'm afraid of now, is if they would take Renesmee away from me," she whispered, her eyes sad.

"She's beautiful, you can see what she got from you, she has the same eyes as yours," I said, meaning the form of the girls eyes, not knowing that it was more than that.

Bella looked surprised. "That something I don't hear every day; well, it's correct. My eyes was brown just like hers," she said warmly. "Edward loves that about her, her eyes - I guess it's because it feels like a part of my human life still lives in her and that it doesn't feel like he pulled me away from everything that was once close to me." She smiled. "He was so hard on that, he didn't understand that I really chose it for myself - that I really wanted to be with him forever."

I smiled with her, she had been really lucky. Finding the one she loved, the one and with that gotten her happiness. If only I could be so lucky.

"You do not seem afraid of us," she said quietly. "How long have you known about the existence of vampires?" she wondered.

"A couple of months, four-five months," I told her. "But what is there to be afraid of, I mean, I can't be afraid of my siblings because I love them so much, and you guys - you're on the good side so I guess that's not necessary."

She smiled. "You remind me of myself when I was human - when I first descovered what Edward was."

"You must have been so beautiful when you were human," I mumbled, looking down on her daughter.

She laughed. "I was plain, looked just like any other girl - but paler, I made jokes about me being an albino. I had just a little bit more color than now." She and smiled. "And that Edward wanted me, was a surprise to me. I mean, he was gorgeous, kind and selfless and I was just a ordinary girl but selfish. Selfish in keeping him." She said and took a deep breath looking away. "Still now there is some times it feels like he needs someone better than... me."

"He sounds like the perfect guy," I mumbled, knowing I would never have anyone as good as the man she was talking about.

"Oh, he is!" she said and laughed. "He could never leave me - even to hunt. And when he did, he left all sorts of notes," she said, looking back at the time - she looked happy. "When he asked me to marry him for the first time, I thought he was joking - you see, my mom always said that you has to be at least thirty before you got married... I was scared of what my mom would think of me, so I said no. But now I'm the happiest woman in the world!"

"Momma," Renesmee called. "I'm hungry"

"Oh, Nessie, I'll just get something in the kitchen," Bella said quickly and turned to me. "You would like something? We've got all sorts of food - eggs and bacon, candy, kicken - whatever you like!"

I shook my head. "I just ate at Jacob's place."

She smiled to me, like she remembered something from the past. "How was Rachel and Rebecca, I don't meet them so often - maybe I'll ask Jacob if he could talk them into coming over," she said and picked up Renesmee from the floor.

"They seemed just fine, planning something, I think," I said, and followed her out of the room.

"Great - would you like something to drink?" she then asked.

I nodded. "Sure."

I followed her into the kitchen where she pulled out some eggs and a soda bottle. The kitchen was light, the walls painted in a beige color. It was a very modern kitchen, very pretty. Bella placed a glass and the soda bottle in front of me. "Help yourself," she said when she noticed me standing motionless looking at the bottle. When she started cooking the eggs, not looking at me, I took the bottle and pured some soda into my glass. It felt better to move when I wasn't followed by a pair of curious eyes.

"She eats human food?" I asked lightly and she nodded.

"Yes, she loves eggs - just like her mommy did," she said, playing with her daughters hair. "She can eat both human food and blood." I suddenly noticed that no vampire had ever talked to me about their diet. "She doesn't like animal food as much as human blood, but we can sertainly not let her eat human blood, so when she's hungry we let her eat human food - she does get hungry very often."

"She can survive on it?" I asked, amazed by the child. Even though her father was a vampire - she could choose not to be or, more correctly, she could partly choose not to be. She was something in between, human and vampire.

"Yes - she seems to be doing well on it, but she still likes animal more than human food - that's why we sometimes take her with us hunting so she can get some blood in her stomach," her mother said and laughed. "I'm distusting you with this conversation."

"No, it's fine," I said quickly. "I've had worse in Biology." But that only made her laugh more, I can understand why. She was talking about eating blood, how could it be worse in a Biology class?

"Here, sweetheart," she said, took a plate and lifted the eggs over, then handed the plate to her daugher.

"Thank you mom, I love you," the little girl mumbled with a smile, then sat down next to me.

"I love you too sweetheart," Bella said and smiled back.

"How old is she?"

"Physically or technically?"

"Technically?"

"A year," she told me. "You see, she grows up very fast but every day is slower than yesterday," she told me. "In six years she is to be full grown, around sixteen - then she will stay around sixteen forever."

"She's only one years old?" I was expecting around five.

"Yes, she's very smart for a one year old."

Jacob came in dancing a weird dance, holding an iPod in his hand, singing with the music, "You're way too beeeeeeeeeeautiful girls," he sang. "Thats why it'll never work, you'll have me suicidal, suicidal - when you say it's over." Then he noticed the three of us and stopped at once, with a shocked expression - staring at us, and I could hear the music still on from the earplugs.

It was a silent moment until Renesmee clapped her tiny hands and said; "Continue, please, you have a nice voice."

Bella and I burst out laughing; it was impossible not to. It was just too funny. He was just too wonderful.

"What's going on in here?" someone said, from the living room and opened the door - and in the next second Jacob was pushed into the wall by a huge man. His hair was curly brown and he had lots of muscles.

"Never. Touch. My. Ipod!" he roared. The man frightned me, he pushed Jacob once again into the wall that was now shaking and snatched the iPod, then turned around walking to us, "Hi, what's up - Bella?" he said. Like he had never done anything, like Jacob was not standing in the other side of the room shocked. "Who's your friend?"

Suddenly Jacob ran forwards, grinning, and hit the man in the head and the man turned around, ready to jump on Jacob.

"Heeeeey - boys, stop," a woman called, her voice hard and warm at the same time, and they stopped - looking on her. "I really don't want any broken furniture," she said, and I noticed at once she was looking especially on the man while speaking. The woman hurried forwards to me. "Katie, honey - I'm Esme, welcome to my home. I hope you like it here, and I hope Emmett here haven't scared you too much."

"He stole my iPod - I have the right to take it back. He wouldn't give it to me, so I had to fight for it."

"Well, it wasn't like you gave him time to give it back to you - and I'm sure you just waited for a fight, since Jasper have been gone with Alice and Edward busy with me and Nessie," Bella said softly, looking at him with compassion. "Emmett - it's okay to miss your family."

Emmett snorted, glaring at her. "I have Rosalie," he just said.

Bella giggled. "Even more reason to miss the rest of the family," she mumbled. Emmett shook his head and turned to me.

"Katie, it's a pleasure to meet you," he said, grinning. "You like sports, baseball?"

"Don't even think about baseball - while Jane and Alec is out there!" Esme said, and just as she looked away Bella gave him a push.

"I love baseball," I said quickly, flashing him a smile ignoring the rest of them. Maybe the giant and I had something in commen, and if it made him like me more - I would gladly play.

"You see - she loves baseball, they won't attack us when we're all together," he said. "Come on - what will happen?" he looked her in the eyes and started begging. "Please, please, please?" he begged. "We're ten against two!" he said. "We'll beat them up, come on! Just one game - have some nice family time!"

She stood quiet for a while.

"No - Esme, you seriously can't be considering this!" Bella commented, raising her eyebrows.

"But we have Alice..." she stood quiet for a while. "I'll talk to Carlisle, if something happens, we will go right back home and lock ourselves in," she said, then turned pointing on Emmett. "You will run - no stay and fight!" she said. "And you will have to give me your word on that."

"Promise, I will," he said grinning, and just as Esme turned around he pointed on Bella grinning victorious.

"Don't work your hopes up - I'm still going to talk to Carlisle about it and I really hope he thinks it's a bad idea, because you work me down way to easy!" she said and walked in human speed, not to scare me I guess, out of the room.

"Girl - I like you!" Emmett said, raised his hand and pushed my shoulder, what he thought was gently, with his fist, but too hard so I had to take a step back not to fall. "You're cool."

Bella shook her head and sighed. "Edward is not going to like this - exposing our family like this," she mumbled.

"Well, then you can get him on other thoughts, can't you!" Emmett said, grinning. "Just do what you do every night - the walls here are quite thin, you know." Bella just stepped forwards and hit him right in the face and he whimped taking a step back but as soon as the pain disappeared he grinned and said; "Oo, you like it rough."

She finally broke into laughter, shaking her head.

"See, there is the Bella I love - my beautiful sister!" he said and then turned to me, pointing at me. "I want you in my team when we play," he said, nodding. Then disappeared - using his vampire speed.

"I really hate it when you do that!" I said and sighed. "What's with him anyway?"

"Emmett is Emmett, you'll love him - I promise you." She said, pulled up Renesmee in her arms and then marched out of the kitchen and I followed her, of course. "Let's go - it's time for you too meet Carlisle."

She took me with her upstairs. On the wall I saw a cross. Vampires believe in god? It was something I at once wondered, but I knew I would never be able to ask that question. I looked away from the cross and followed Bella. She suddenly stopped and let Renesmee down on the floor and the girl immideatly crawled into the room, and I got a fast look at it; pink with lots of toys. Bella gave her daughter a last look, then took my hand and continued walking. She knocked at a door where clear voices was heard through. "She is special, Carlisle, I know it! I can feel it! Just do a-" I heard Alice say but then stopped as Bella's hand touched the door. "Come in."

Bella opened the door and pulled me in with her, there everybody stood. Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Esme and two men I didn't know and a boy.

One of them was blond and muscular, like all vampire males. He looked very welcoming and warm. He looked about twenty to twenty-five years old, but even if he looked so young he still had that old look, he looked like he knew everything. Or maybe it was just my mind that creeped away. He was very good looking but reminded me more of a dad.

The other one was tall and had dark hair, I couldn't deside if it was dark brown or just black. He was looked to be around twenty-five years old and had the same look as Carlisle, like he knew everything.

I knew it was impossible to know everything, to have an answer for everything. I knew that, but it still felt like they did.

The boy was beautiful, pale with golden eyes. His hair was bronze colored, reddish-brown colored. He looked the youngest of them, and as I set my eyes on him I knew who he was. Edward Cullen, Bella Cullens husband. The perfect man.

He came forwards, "Hello, Katie." He seemed happy to meet me, could it be possible that he had already known that much about me, known enough to make him like me? "Do you know who I am?" I simply nodded, it was easy to see who he was.

"Edward, it's nice to meet you - your daughter is beautiful and your wife stunning!" I mumled, I had realized that I had to say something and that was all I could say, it was not like I was lying. After saying that I knew, seeing it in his face, that he absolutly liked me.

Then he stepped passed me and walked to his wife, pulling her close to himself.

"Hello" the blond man said and stood up smiling to me. "I'm Carlisle, and you must be Katie" He walked around his desk and forwards to me, then he held his hand out for me to take. Of course I took it. It was cold, just like any other vampire. "You are welcome to stay in my home how long you want to"

"Eleazar" the dark-haired man introduced himself. "It's a pleasure to meet you" he said, pronouncing every word clearly, stepped forwards and took my hand, raised it to his mouth and kissed it very lightly, like it was made of glass and he was afraid to break it - I was for a second afraid that he was to bite me but it was stupid of me thinking that way, the others would not let him kill me, would they? - I looked into his black eyes and shivered, terrified of him. At the same time Jasper snarled from where he stood. I can at least count on Jasper - I thought to myself as he spoke.

"She's not a snack, Eleazar, don't do this to yourself, step away from her or I will kill you" Jasper said calm but his tone was so cold that I shivered. He seemed to noticed it and shot me an apologizing look.

"Sorry." The man stepped away from me and finally I was able to breathe.

I looked at Jasper, hoping that he would see my gaditude. He gave me a quick nod. "Do what you are here to do!" he said coldly to Eleazar.

"Jasper, you seem to be awfully concerned about this girl, you're planning to cheat?" Eleazar teased, looking from Jasper to me. "Or am I just imagioning things?"

"I do not want more death in my life - I have seen enough of it." Jasper hissed, glaring at him. "But if you are in my way, then what I want will not stop my actions."

"Eleazar. Jasper." Carlisle warned, "Eleazar, you are welcome in my home, but only if you stay nice to the people I love - we are all of us risking our lifes for you."

Eleazar looked away, nodding. "Yes, Carlisle."

"Do what you must." He said with his golden eyes on me.

Eleazar walked closer and at once my eyes found Jasper, standing between Emmett and Alice, shaking of anger. I was afraid, terrified. Seeking some comfort in his eyes, something that would say that it would be fine. That nothing would happen. He was the only one I trusted in there.

Eleazar got a strange expression, "She sure has an ability." He mumbled and closed his eyes. "She seemes to be just like me..." he said, speaking slowly. "But that can't be - two vampires cannot have the same ability!"

"When I try to see her future I can only see myself." Alice told them quietly.

"And when I try to read her thought, only my thoughts come to me" Edward said thoughtful.

"When I try to seek what she is feeling - I can only find feelings that are identical to my own." Jasper said, he was looking at me like he was trying to tear up an invisible wall that was beween them, "I think she is some kind of shield, like Bella, but a different one."

"She is a boomerang." Eleazar finally whispered.

"A what?" Esme said confused.

"A boomerang - everything that is thrown at her, goes right back to it's owner. Just like a boomerang." Eleazar concluded.

"Of course." Carlisle said, looking at her with a smile.

They had solved the puzzle. They had found out what I had of an ability. Great. Now they would only want to use me even more. If only I could escape from them - The thoughts both surprised me and confused me. They have been so nice to me, they have not done me any harm. Why would I want to escape? I like them, I can even think of them as my friends. And in that moment I realized I already was thinking of them as friends.

I was greatful that I could have my mind to myself.

Jasper took my hand, pulling me out of the office, away from the others stare. "Katie." Jasper said, watching every movement I made. "Do you need anything, it's late - you would like to sleep?" I swiftly looked out of the closest window and noticed how dark it was, how could the time have pass so quickly. I also noticed that I actually was sleepy.

"If it wouldn't bother you too much, yes, I am kind of tired." I told him.

"Bother?" he said and smiled. "You humans can never bother me, you are always so weird, I can never know what you're about to do."

"Thank you very much, it's very nice to be considered weird" I said, pretending to be hurt, and then laughed. I liked him - he was nice.

"Well then, would you like to sleep in my room?" he asked and started walking down the hall, pulling me with him. "You do look tired, I have a quite nice bed there - a very big and soft one, you would like it."

"Well, thank you." I murmured and yawned. It had been a very long day. I pressed his hand once. "Jasper, really - thank you... for everything!"

What do you say? Love the Cullens like I do? And Jasper?
Ok I've always loved Edward the most, but Jasper is soo damn hot! My sister is a Jasper fan (while I am a Edward fan), and she is trying to get me to the other side. I must say she has won the battle. I love Jasper more than ever. And Jackson Rathbone - drool - listen on YouTube to Orson Brown by 100monkeys. The first times I heard it, I didn't know what to think but now... now I'm lost in the Jackson Rathbone Charm. Though I will always choose Edward before Jasper. But now, I guess I'm a Edward fan and a Jasper fan.

Do you know - Robert Pattinson has a dog named Patty, that's so cute. I also have a dog, Rodna. She's a leonberger, quite big. That is another thing me and my Rob has in commen. XD

This chapter was long so... well see this as an excuse for the rest of the short chapters.

Review or I'll bite! ;D
