Chapter 2

(Jasper's POV)

I kept what I learned to myself for the rest of the school day. Aside from Alice who kept quiet for the time being due to my pleas, my siblings were another story though. She was all they seemed to speak about. I could feel the jealousy from Rose as we stood by the car waiting for Edward who was no where to be seen.

As soon as Lilly who was walking with Isabella Swan passed by, all conversation stopped and looked her way. Both girls returned our stares, but Isabella was more curiosity with a tinge of fear that wasn't there before. I wondered what could have happened between now and lunch that warrented that fear.

My question was answered when Edward strode up to the car with purpose, radiating nothing but fear, panic and blood lust. The latter was really out of place for Edward and I knew it was brought on my Isabella's mouth watering sweet scent, rather than Lilly's beautiful, alluring one that produced no temptation from any of my family thus far. I heard Alice gasp before climbing into the car before me as Edward wasted no time on rushing those ridding with him into the car.

"Edward, you can't leave us. There must be another way! " Alice pleaded out of the blue during the quiet ride home.

What? He's leaving? Why?

"I have no choice Alice. If I stay, I'll just end up killing her like I almost did twice today." He argued back.

"What do you mean? Where are you going and what brought this on?" I asked anyone trying to get clued in.

"I'm thinking of spending some time up in Alaska. It's that new girl Bella. Her scent is like nothing I've ever smelled before." He admitted ashamed of his almost slip up.

'Hey, there's nothing to be ashamed of. You have the best control out of all of us aside from Carlisle. This girl's got to be your singer. I'm shocked you left her alive as soon as you got a whiff of her scent, let alone survive an entire class with her without attacking. You know that the singer never survives their meeting with the vampire they sing to. Remember Emmett? How long was his alive for before he killed him?' I thought to him as I clapped him on his shoulder as we turned into the hidden road that is our driveway. 'I'm proud of you brother.'

He sent me gratitude along with appreciation and smiled at me.

"At least wait until after the family meeting where you can tell Carlisle yourself. He's on his way home as we speak. Apparently Rose called him on their way home." Alice pleaded with our brother.

He nodded his head and turned off the car, before climbing out and racing into the forest. I looked at Alice in question for what he was doing.

"Hunting." She answered my unasked question. A moment of silence lapsed before she spoke. "I saw the whole thing you know. He was planning on killing the class to get to drink her in peace, to luring her away, to going to her house. Good thing he was so indicisive because the school bell snapped him out of it before he booked it out of that classroom. Then before we left school, he had a run in with her again in the office trying to get his schedule changed. He wanted to kill Miss Cope and take Bella then as well." Alice told me softly as to keep as much of the conversation to ourselves.

"What's going on?" Esme asked catching onto the tension from the four of us as we sat down at the dining room table waiting for Edward and Carlisle to appear.

"I think it's best if we wait until everyone is here rather than have yo explain everything over again." Alice answered nicely.

"What's to explain other than there are two new girls at school. One who seems to have the entire male and some of the female population at her feet, and has extra strong senses. And the other is nothing but a klutz who is too curious for her own good." Rose responded bitterly with a hint of jealousy and some...longing? That she seemed to be trying to cover up when she spoke of my Angel.

Esme looked on a little baffled but before she could say anything to that, the front door opened and in walked Carlisle with his arm around Edward's shoulder sending waves of sympathy and worry. It was silent as they both sat down at the large dining room table.

"It seems we have a lot to talk about." Carlisle said as he folded his hands properly on the table. "The first part of business I would like to address is this young lady who seems to have captured everyone's attention. I hope you don't mind Jasper, but I placed a call into your Mr. Jenks this morning when Emmett called this morning and had him dig up what he could about her. I assured him that you wouldn't be upset that he do this for us. Am I correct on this assumption?" He asked nervasly, knowing that Jenks was my contact who created any and all documents I needed, getting any information I required or if I needed a lawyer for whatever reason. His family has been doing this for decades for me and knew not to ask questions. Especially about my never aging and any other oddities he may have noticed. I learned over the years that instilling fear is the best way to get what you want when it comes to people like Jason Jenks.

"You are correct in your assumption Carlisle, however don't make going behind my back, with my contacts or for whatever reason a habit." I told him with the Major slipping through a bit. We had the same views when respect or this kind of situation came into play. Even more so when it had to do with our mate.

"Of course Jasper. I apologize and it will not happen again, son." He said sincerely.

"Tell us what you found darling." Esme coaxed, putting her hand on his forearm. She was obviously as anxious as the rest of us to discover the mystery that is Lillian McLean.

"Of course dear." Carlisle smiled at his wife lovingly. I couldn't help but to be envious of them. Having their mate here in their arms. "Lillian Rose McLean is 18 years old from Vancouver, Canada. She was adopted by Anna Michelle McLean and Johnathan Dale McLean at Bishop Shannahan Orphanage when she was 4. She was dropped off there by an anonymous male with some personal items.

"She was always an amazingly beautiful and girl it seems and had the nuns at the orphanage wrapped around her little finger. She was very smart and intelligent and had many couples and single parents pressing to adopt. Rumor has it, that the staff loved her so much, that they would constantly turn these people down, wanting to keep her for themselves, until John and Anna came along.

"The staff tried to deny their application to adopt Lilly even though they were the perfect applicants. John is a district attorney so he got all the paperwork put together and filled out himself, and had amazing references from Judges and Doctors that his wife worked with, so he knew they had no reason to turn him down and threatened to take them to court.

"They still fought tooth and nail with John himself at court, but in the end, the Judge couldn't find a reason not to award them Lilly's guardianship and forced the staff at Bishop Shannahan to push the odoption through." He explained, looking all of us in the eye as he began to pass photos around of the most beautiful little girl any of us have ever seen.

All the girls looked at the pictures whistfully and protectiveness began to arise not only in their emotions, but in their eyes. The men had the same fierce protectiveness along with adoration.

Carlisle studied our reactions with interest and he acted almost confused about this information. Edward was looking at him with his eyebrows raised as he listened to. Carlisle's thoughts.

"Something to share with the class?" Emmett questioned feeling left out.

"I was just thinking how much Lilly reminds me of an immortal child growing up. The Immortal Children were beautiful children who captivated all who laid eyes on them. Reguardless of their blood thirsty nature and how dangerous they were, armies would come together to protect them from anything and fought with the Volturi who at that point made them illegal creations.

"The children had no self control and would destroy towns before they were satisfied. Even their victims couldn't find it in them to harm these children. Now, aside from the bloodlust and violence, I was surprised to find how many similarities there were between Lilly and the Immortal Children." He explained scratching his chin in a very human gesture.

Everyone around the table nodded in confusion and a moment of silence passed its way around the table.

"What else did Jenks find?" I asked egar to learn as much as I could about my mate.

"Growing up, Lilly continued to be extremely bright, outshinning her classmates when it came to anything and everything. Her parents got offers from many prestigious schools egar to have her, but her parents turned them down, knowing that Lilly was happy at the school she was attending and with all of her friends.

"About a month ago, John put his notice into his firm and Anna gave her two weeks. They didn't give a reason other than wanting a change of scenery. John took the first job he was offered here in Forks as a District Attorney and will also be working with Seattle's office as well. Her mother Anna is a head nurse at the hospital I am working at and I have already met her today. Other than this information along with newspaper clippings about all of Lilly's achievements, a CD of her singing, pictures and report cards, that is all he was able to aquire." He finished as he passed around her school photos, report cards and the articles.

Some were about her musical tallents with singing and some compositions she wrote on the paino. One was about winning a Scholastic Decathlon. A couple were on charities she participated in. Overall, she was an amazing girl.

Carlisle walked over to the stereo in the corner of the room and inserted her CD and pressed play. Music filled the speakers and shortly after the voice of an Angel began to stream from the speakers. The songs were rock with a classical edge to them and you could tell that even Edward was thoroughly enjoying them.

"It says here that all of the instruments featured in her songs were played by her. Aparently, she is a musical genus." Esme said while skimming over the back of her CD.

"She is really good. I really like this CD." Rose said, shocking everyone with her compliment.

"I agree. The classical music she adds to it is quite brilliant." Edward praised. "If you don't mind, when we are finished here I would like to burn this for my collection Carlisle."

"Yeah, me too." Emmett added.

I felt pride well up in my emotions hearing all the praises of my Mate's CD from my family.

"Do you mind if I actually keep it Carlisle?" I asked him wanting to keep the origional CD rather than a burned copy.

"Of course son." He nodded. After the current song finished, Carlisle stopped the CD and popped it out of the player, putting it in it's case and handing it to me. "Just make sure to burn a copy for whoever wants one."

I nodded my head in understanding as he sat down at the head of the table.

"Now that we know alittle bit about her, is there anything anyone wants to add? I know Emmett called because he had some concerns about her and with that said, I am sure the rest of you do as well." He said.

"What was your concern Emmett?" I asked alarmed.

"Well, in English, do you remember me talking at vampire speed with you?" I nodded my head in understanding, recalling when he made a comment on Lilly's appearance and I growled at him in warning. "Well she heard me and looked back at me stunned. I asked her if she could understand me, again at vampire speed and she nodded her head yes. I was about to ask her 'How is it possible,' because though she has vampire traits, she also has some human as well, but Alice sent me a text telling me not to, so I just let it drop."

Everyone aside from Alice and myself looked stunned at hearing this information.

"Was there a reason why you didn't want him to ask her Alice?" Carlisle asked, as we all turned our attention towards her.

"Because she doesn't know what she is." Alice answered.

"What do you mean she doesn't know what she is? What is she?" Rose asked her.

"I don't know what she is exactly, nor do I know how she was changed, but I have seen visions of her in the future and she has all of our vampire abilities, so I know she is a vampire. But it seems that she is still part human as well." Alice disclosed.

"Yeah, I've seen her blush a couple times today." I added.

"Was there anything in her thoughts today Edward?" Carlisle asked, completely enthralled with the prospect of something new and unknown for him to learn about. To be honest, as much as I wanted to learn more about Lilly, this all kind of bothered me. She was a person, not an experiment for him to poke and prode at. I wanted to learn about her from her. Not researched or from an outside contact.

"Well, I only got to listen to her during lunch as I don't have any classes with her, but I know that she definately has some sort of power." Edward retorted.

"What makes you say that?" He inquired.

"The other new girl Bella Swan and her are friends and were sitting together while Bella was getting the 411 about all of us and she mentioned something about me not dating because none of the girls at the school were good enough for me. Lauren Mallory pipped in saying that Jasper doesn't either, while giving Lilly a pointed look so she started thinking to herself about how many times Jasper must have turned her down for her to say that. I spoke outloud to myself saying that she has been turned down once a week since we moved here.

"By this time, I had already heard what happened in English through Emmett's thoughts so I wasn't suprised when she looked over at me and questioned if I could hear her thoughts. I wasn't aware that she didn't know about vampires or what she was so I told her yeah I could. It was then I heard her think to herself that she wasn't the only one with an extra tallent. The lunch bell rang before I could say anything, but I did catch up with her quickly in the hall asking what she meant by that. She told me she didn't want to talk about it and wasn't sure if she ever would. I think our family has thrown her for a loop and has her questioning herself now." Edward interpreted.

"Do you have any idea what it could be?" Carlisle asked, turning his attention towards Alice who was scanning the future with the far-away look she had in her eyes.

"Not as of yet." She blinked coming back to the present. "But as soon as she decides to use her power or gift and it shows up in my visions, I will let you know."

"Does anyone else have anything else to add concerning Lilly before we move on to our next topic?" Carlisle questioned the table as a whole.

"She's Jasper's mate." Alice pointed out with a smile.

All eyes turned to me for clarification to which I just nodded with a small smile displayed on my face.

"That's so great honey! Congratulations! I'm so happy for you!" Esme beamed, coming around the table to envelope me in her arms.

"Thankyou." I said ducking my head with a small smile, embarassed of all the attention. I never liked being in the spot light. Even with Maria when I wasn't in Major mode, I just did what I had to do. For the most part, I stay to myself and observe the people around me and step up to the plate when the time calls for it.

"I'm happy for you son. She is a real beaut and a tallented one at that. I think she will be perfect for you." Carlisle praised me from his seat. I nodded my head in thanks to him in return and took my seat.

"My man! Your lucky you've got sexy ass mate! Welcome to the mate club!" He leaned accross the table and I pumped his fist.

"I'm real happy for you brother." Edward said with a small smile, but I could feel the tinge of jealousy in his emotions. I smiled back at him and nodded my thanks to him as well.

"You deserve to be happy after all these years. I'm happy you finally found a mate." Rose said to me and I knew she meant it from her emotions. Playing twins for as long as we have, we have grown close so it meant alot to me that she would say that.

"You should bring her over to the house. I would love to meet her." Esme said estatically. I could tell she was looking forward to having another daughter to spoil.

"Well, the first time I bring her over here is probibally going to be helping her learn what she is since she clearly isn't aware she is a vampire." I told her.

"Oh of course. I would like to speak with her as soon as you are able to bring her over. I would like to find out what makes her so human compared to others of our species." Carlisle interjected.

"Just make sure you treat her like a person, and not an experiment or research subject." I narrowed my eyes ar him knowing how he can get and wanting to make sure he knows off the bat that we do this at her pace.

"Of course son. I apologize. I just haven't seen or heard of anything like her before and I seem to be getting ahead of myself." He said bashfully. He then composed himself and got back to business. "Now for our second topic for discussion. Isabella Swan."

"She prefers Bella." Alice added.

"Bella." Carlisle corrected himself. "It has been brought to my attention that not only can Edward not seem to read her mind, but that she is Edwards singer as well, and there was almost an inncident in Edward's biology class."

"What?" Rose exclaimed sitting up in her seat.

"Calm down Rose, honey." Esme tried to sooth her. "Nothing happened, and we are going to do everything in our power to ensure that it doesn't."

"But what if it does in the future? I don't want to move again! I'm finally a senior and not to mention, Jasper just found his mate." She argued.

"There's not going to be a slip up because I am going to Alaska." Edward inturupted.

"What? For how long?" Esme gasped as venom began to tear in her eyes. She didn't want to see any of her children leave home and her maternal nature was becoming emotion at the idea.

"I'm not sure. But it's the only thing I can think of where I won't end up killing her in the end. I've already tried to switch out of that class, but Miss Cope was insisting that there are no other classes available for that period. To make matters worse. It turns out she is my lab partner. I have no choice." Edward explained forcefully.

"No! You shouldn't have to leave! It's not fair that our family has to be split up because of some human!" Rose ranted as Emmett tried to sooth her.

"Well if you have a different idea Rose, I'm sure we would all love to hear it and take it into consideration." Carlisle said looking at her pointedly, waiting for an answer.

She didn't say anything for a few moments when suddenly, Edward growled and Alice shreaked. "No Rose! You can't! She is going to become very important to Edward and my best friend!"

"What? Will someone fill the rest of us in?" Emmett looked back and forth between his mate, Edward and Alice.

"She is thinking of going and killing Bella!" Alice accused.

"Rose!" Esme gasped horrified as the rest of us looked on astonished.

"That's not going to happen Rose. Bella Swan is an innocent human being that did not do anything to directly provoke this family, nor is she a threat. You are going to leave her alone." Carlisle argued sternly.

"Oh come on! If Edward slips, it could end up exposing us all! Not to mention she is breaking up our family!" Rose slammed her palm on the table, nearly cracking the marble. She then looked in my direction. "Jasper, what do you think? You have an opinion in this as well. It's your mate at risk as well if the Volturi end up coming here because of her!"

I thought about it for a moment before I answered. "You do have a point. If the Volturi come and find out about Lilly, they are obviously going to be looking into her and that could very well be a bad thing. I just found my mate, I will not loose her."

"See! He agrees with me!" She pointed in my direction.

"Neither of you are to touch her! I made my decision and I am leaving for Alaska tonight!" Edward growled.

"While I can understand you reasoning Jasper and Rose, my decision still stands. Bella Swan will be left alone and that's the end of it. She is an innocent human being, and if Edward going to Alaska for awhile is the answer to this riddle, then so be it." Carlisle said laying down the goblet.

"He won't be gone long. He will be coming back. I just don't know when." Alice chirped, happy that this has all been solved but sad to see that her brother would have to leave for an amount of time.

"Then it's settled." Carlisle stated, effectively dismissing us from the table.

(Lilly's POV)

Bella and I were sitting on her bed doing homework in silence. Something was obviously wrong with her, and I was worried about what it could be.

"Hey." I said getting her attention from her math homework. "Are you ok? You've been really quiet ever since you came from dropping your slip off with Miss. Cope. Did something happen?" I asked concerned.

She thought a minute before answering. "You know the Cullen's?" I nodded. How could I forget. "Well, after lunch I went into my biology class and had Edward as a lab partner. The whole class he kept giving me this evil look. I hadn't even said a word to the guy and he just kept staring at me like he was getting ready to rip my throat out. Then, when I went into the office, he was in there trying to get out of our bio class. I don't know what I did wrong." She finished looking a mix between mad and hurt.

"I'm sure you didn't do anything wrong. I mean, you heard what the others said at lunch today. They're weird." I told her, trying to make her feel better, even if I didn't think there was anything weird about them compared to myself. I knew I wasn't much better. "Don't let it get to you. I'm sure he will apologize when he comes back in tomorrow."

"Yeah, I guess your right." She said with a small greatful smile.

I smiled back and took a deep breath, which I immediately regretted. It was time for me to hunt and Bella smelled extremely sweet.

"Hey, it's getting late and I need to go eat." I said collecting my things. I needed to get out of there before I ended up taking a snap at her. That thought just brought our previous conversation to the forefront of my mind and I realized how similar what I was thinking was to what happened with her and Edward in biology. Whatever we were, I guess I wasn't the only one who thought her blood smelled sweet. But I was at least able to compose myself in a positive manner.

"Are you sure you don't want to wait until dinner's ready and eat with Charlie and I?" She asked.

"Uh, yeah. I should be home when Anna and John get home. But thanks anyway. Maybe another night." I answered as we made our way down the stairs and towards the front door.

"Ok, I'll see you in the morning for school." She smiled.

"See you then." I winked and made my way accross the street and into my house.

It was around 11:45pm and finally safe for me to sneak out of the house and head up towards Seattle. I made sure my door was locked as per usual when I slept. I started doing that every night so my parents wouldn't get suspicious when I snuck out, they wouldn't notice a difference.

I dressed in jeans and a dark sweat shirt and opened my window, jumping into the tree just outside before turning around and closing it most of the way before jumping down and landing gracefully on the balls of my feet.

I raced through the trees towards Seattle, relishing the fact that I can do this without worrying about being spotted since this area was so dense with trees and bairly any people or cars on the road.

After about fifteen-twenty minutes later, I made it to a bad part of town and began looking for my prey for the week. I came accross many possibilities, but it wasn't until I heard a girl scream and a struggle before I knew I found the perfect subject.

I raced towards the direction I heard it coming from and shortly came upon a man holding a knife to a woman's neck in an alley way. You could tell she was scared out of her wits of what was to come and as soon as he began to unbuckle his belt, I knew what his intentions were.

I appeared behind him and wretched him away from the woman, grabbing the knife from his hand and pinning him to the wall with it in one fluid motion. I didn't really need to hold the knife to his neck, but that was just for show until I could get the woman to leave me alone with the scum bag. The man reaked of booze and cigarettes and was in shock at what just transpired.

I turned my attention to the petrified woman who was currently on the ground against the wall, looking on with wide eyes.

"If you know what's good for you, you'll go home and be more careful traveling on foot at this time of night." I told her, nodding towards the exit of the alley. She nodded profusely and gathered her things with a quick thank you and ran out of the alley.

I turned my attention to the pervert in my grip and tucked the knife in my pants, behind my back. I would get rid of it later.

Once he noticed the the knife was no longer at his throat, he tried to struggle out of my grip but to no avail.

"Wh-What are you?" He stuttered. His fear rose so high at this point and it only made his scent more enticing.

"Nothing you will need to know considering your not living beyond this moment." I whispered and snapped his neck before he could scream. I then latched my mouth to his jugular and began to suck the delicious red liquid down my throat.

Moments later, I was finished and proceeded to dump the body into the dumpster and light it up on fire, effectively burning the body and any evidence.

I was racing back towards Forks when I had the feeling that I was being followed. I stretched my senses out and could hear light footfalls in the close distance. I stopped in my tracks and took a deep breath in, attempting to identify who or what those sounds belonged to.

A/N: Cliff hanger! So who do you think it is that she is about to come face to face with? I'm sorry I had to end it here and with such a short chapter compared to what I usually write, but in order for the chapter not to be like 20K with what happens next, this was the place that I had to end. Review and give me your thoughts! I hope you all enjoyed this chapter!

Questions and Answers:

brownbey - Is Bella and Edward going to be together or is it going to be Bella and Alice? It is going to be Bella and Edward, just like in the story. It is going to be very close related to Twilight when it comes to pairings. The only differences are Jasper and Alice are not together.

Will this be a Jasper/OC? Yes it is! It's going to be Lilly and Jasper.

I will be updating this story again very shortly. I have actually already begun to write the next chapter. - Bella'Xo
