I sucked all the blood I could and chugged it down without tasting it. When I finally stopped I had to force myself to keep it down. I felt the bile burn my throat but it stayed down.
Uh, that felt horrible. I took a deep breath and tried for one more elk.
I waited until finally I heard one a bit far off. It was farther than I was used to but still teleported next to it before snapping its neck.
"What the hell?" I heard someone say.
I looked up and saw one of the Cullens. The same one that caused a scene at the cafeteria.
"Oh fuck." I said looking up.
"Jasper?" I heard a girl say. I needed to get out of here so I teleported back to the house.
"You're back early." Wren said.
"We have a problem." I said.
"What? Got to full on elk and don't think you can finish that burger?" He said with a smirk.
"Someone saw me hunt." I blurted out.
"What?! How?"
"It was one of the Cullens. I smelled an elk a bit far off and I teleported next to it and killed it. One of them was apparently there and saw me. Someone else showed up and I zapped back here." I explained.
"Fuck." He said. "Are you sure he saw you?"
"He was like eight feet away from me Wren. He definitely saw." I answered.
"Oh great. We need to do damage control. Chances are he told his parents and they told everyone else. Probably need to leave town, heard Vancouver's nice this time of…"
"We are not moving again!" I said.
"Then what? We wait for them to run you out of town with pitchforks and torches?!" He yelled.
"It's the twenty first century not the dark ages!" I yelled back.
"So what we wait and see?" He said.
"For now yes. We don't know if he said anything. We don't know what he was doing in the forest to begin with. And I have a feeling we're not the only ones keeping secrets." I said.
"Are you seriously willing to take that chance? It's not just your ass on the line it's mine." Wren said glaring at me.
"I won't let it come to that. If worse comes to worse I'll take the fall. I'm a princess, the worse that'll happen to me is a slap across the face and being locked in a tower for a year." I said.
"Kara you know that's not all your father will do to you." Wren said.
"It won't happen okay. One step at a time okay?" I said hugging him.
"What am I going to do with you?" Wren said.
"You're job is to put up with me, you're doing great. You do have to admit this is better than reaping." I said.
"Yes except with demons all you do is stab and break their necks, with you I have to deal with keeping you in line." Wren said.
"I'm a saint compared to your previous ward." I said.
"Jack tearing bodies apart in London was a hassle." Wren said. "But then again it was London not a small town in the middle of nowhere."
"Are you still hung up on that? We can teleport anywhere in the world Wren, we just happen to sleep in a house that happens to be in a small town." I argued.
"Aren't we lucky for that?" He said sarcastically.
"I'm gonna shower then we can head out. Hey if we're lucky we can catch a show on the strip." I offered.
"Yeah it'll be our last night of freedom before we're sent to the stake." He said.
"Don't be so melodramatic, it'll probably be a hanging or beheading if father's feeling merciful." I said before zapping myself upstairs.
"I'm a dead man walking." Wren said to himself.
Third Person's POV-
Jasper had taken it upon himself to make sure he wouldn't have any close calls like he had the previous days. He couldn't put his family in danger of exposure like he has the previous day.
He and Alice had gotten back from school and went straight to the forest. There wasn't a lot of variety in what to eat but there were plenty of elk to hunt. He closed his eyes and took a deep breath to smell if there were any elk close by. He smelled one and just as he was about to leap for it. Something appeared out of thin air and snapped its neck.
He saw the same girl from school, the one that had caused him to almost lose control.
"What the hell?" He said.
She looked up and saw him. "Oh fuck." She said.
"Jasper?" Alice said coming up to him. When he looked back the girl was gone. "I couldn't see you?" She said.
"The girl, did you see her?" He asked.
"Girl? What girl?" She asked confused.
"The girl from school? Kara. She was standing right there over the elk." Jasper said.
"Which way did she go?" Alice said.
"I don't know she appeared out of thin air." Jasper said.
"That's impossible." Alice said.
"Is it?" Jasper asked making Alice doubt what she previously believed.
"We need to talk to Edward and see if he learned anything from her." Alice said.
"Let's go." He said. They ran back to the house. They were greeted by Esme tending to her garden.
"You're back early." She said.
"Jasper ran into someone during his hunt." Alice answered.
"Did you? Are they?" Esme asked concerned.
"I didn't attack her, it was Edward's soulmate. She was hunting Elk." Jasper answered.
"What?!" Edward said running outside to meet them. "She was hunting?"
"Did a really good job of snapping that elk's neck with her bare hands. Oh and she appeared out of thin air." Jasper said.
"How?" Edward asked.
"We don't know. I turned around and when I looked back she was gone." Jasper said.
"Did you find out anything when you talked to her?" Alice asked.
"I got the same story everyone else did. Only thing I did get that caught my attention was when she started talking about her family." Edward said.
"What about them?" Esme asked.
"She just said it was complicated." Edward said.
"I want to talk to her." Alice asked.
"I don't; think that's a good idea darling." Jasper said.
"Well Edward won't talk to her." Alice complained.
"What am I supposed to say Alice, Kara we're soulmates by the way I know you're not human but that's okay cuz I'm a vampire."
"Keep your mouth shut." Rosalie said running out of the house, having heard the entire conversation. "That girl is more trouble than she's worth. We need to get rid of her."
Edward let out a growl. "Don't you dare get close to her."
"No one is going to hurt anyone." Carlisle said walking toward them having just arrived.
"Carlisle…" Rosalie started but quickly shut up when Emmett put a hand on her shoulder and shook his head.
"As much as we have to lose, it's pretty clear Kara has secrets of her own. She's entitled to them just like we are and we'll keep hers just like we would like her to keep ours." Carlisle said.
"She's putting us in danger." Rosalie nagged.
"Which is why we'll invite her over." Carlisle said.
"That's a wonderful idea!" Alice said cheerfully.
"There's just the slight problem that none of us talk to her." Emmett pointed out.
"I talked to her…" Edward said.
"After you ignored her." Alice said. "Lucky for you, Mr. Banner is assigning group projects tomorrow and judging by the fact I can't see anything past that I'm sure you two get paired together."
"Tomorrow then." Carlisle said.
"Great." Edward said with a grimace.
