Chapter 6
Jasper's POVHarmony slept on the ride to Seattle. She had actually been planning to stay up the whole ride, so I wouldn't have to carry her into the motel. She was falling asleep when I told her that it would be okay and to just sleep. That girl was more of mystery then any of us can understand and we're, I mean I am, risking my life for her. Of course she would do the same if it came to that. And it wasn't just because she had promised Alice. She trusted me, almost as much as Alexander. She trusted Carlisle as well, compared to the others.
I made sure that the hotel was far from any Vampire activity. While Harmony slept, I made my way around the city. The Vampires were asleep, so I wouldn't run into any of them. The city reeked of them. I went out of the city to do my hunting.
When I returned, I settled into the bed text to Harmony, watching her sleep.
Edward was right; nothing was more magical then watching someone sleep. I took the information Carlisle had given me about bone cancer. Not that it would be much help. She wasn't having normal symptoms because she was an Elemental. But I looked it over and made sure I understood everything about it. Her bones were fading and nothing could stop it. Except maybe changing or death. One or the other was going to happen.
Harmony's POV
Jasper woke me once sun had gone down. He told me to take and shower and put on different clothes. After that, he would not touch me. He was keeping his vampire scent off of me.
"Are you sure soap can cover your scent off?" I asked as I leaned against the door, ready to leave.
"No, but what other options do we have?" Jasper asked.
"Not many, and I'd rather not have a ban from you touching me," I imagined him trying to save me without touching me. It wouldn't work.
Jasper nodded.
"Okay, well I'd better go," I opened the door, "See you when the sun comes up."
"See you outside," Jasper smirked.
I giggled as I shut the door. I walked out of the building, taking in the scent of the air.
Spirit, want to give me a hand? Where I can find myself a Newborn?
Silence. Great.
I found an alley with no one visible anywhere around. I knelt down and placed my hand on the ground. I used Earth to feel the vibrations of Vampire footsteps in Seattle and other towns that were miles away from me. I could feel quick and almost undetectable vampire footsteps far out of Seattle.
Jasper was on a building above me. There was a vampire in a cabin miles of outside of Seattle. But the only thing I could think about was the vampire turning the corner of the alley I was hiding in.
I stood straight and walked out of the alley, walking in the direction the vampire was coming from. I saw him; yes it was a male, across the street. He had short dark brown hair. It was chin length and hid his face well. If I was human, I wouldn't have been able to take my eyes off him; he was drop dead gorgeous with his leather black jacket and ripped blue jeans near his knees. His piercing deep red eyes told me that he was a newborn. The kind I had seen in Spirit's visions.
Speaking of Spirit. How come it wasn't saying a word to me? It reminded me of
Alexander. Spirit kept silent about him too. What the heck was up with that?
Well I had to get the Vampire to notice me. I wondered if it would be as easy as simply walking up to him. Well, I shrugged; it was worth a try.
I walked across the street, getting ready to cut the Vampire off. He stopped at the sight of me. He had a puzzled look on his face the moment his eyes met mine. He was probably curious as to why he didn't recognize my scent. Not to mention he could not smell my blood, but could heard it and see it pumping through my body.
"Hello," I said in a kind voice.
He said nothing has his eyes took me in. I rolled my eyes. Vampires.
"Stop that," I snapped my fingers in front of my face causing Wind to blow, "Talk to me, jeez."
"Why?" He had a very dreamy voice that even drew me in.
"Because I want you too," I shook my head, "And I don't want you looking at me like it's your right. Because it is not."
He tilted his head, peering at me.
"I told you to stop that," I made a fist and heat flowed around us.
Heat? Normally Wind comes in a situation like this.
The Vampire had stiffened, not knowing what was going on.
"What's you name, Vampire?" I asked.
He glared at me, "Vampire?"
"Or would you prefer the term Newborn? Either way, you're both," I stated.
He looked across the street at an old lady in a shop.
"Hey, I'm talking to you," I said, trying to keep my voice light.
"I don't care," He said, in a bored tone.
His eyes were slipping into black. He was either hungry or we was getting there quickly.
"Don't you dare," I ordered, "That is an innocent lady in there and won't let you hurt her."
He turned toward me, "Would you rather I hurt you instead?"
"Idiot," I said under my breath, forgetting I was talking to a Vampire.
He was inches away from me in a second, hands moving toward me at Vampire speed. He stopped short when Wind blocked him from touching me. He just tried to hurt me? Well that was really understandable. He was Newborn. He was hungry. I had just irritated him. I would have normally taken this lightly. So why was I getting angry?
"Step away from me," I ordered, as the heat around us inflamed.
The man took a step back, eyes flickering around us.
"You nor any other vampire will treat me like something you can do whatever you want with," The heat around us grew, "And I won't stand for you hurting innocent people."
"Well, now, isn't this new?" An unknown voice said from beside me.
I turned to see a boy, that couldn't have been but a year or two younger then me. Not that being seventeen was something I would call better. He had short brown hair that curved around his head, falling along the right side of his face. His light silver eyes almost seemed white. He wore light blue jeans and gold t-shirt.
I was just about to ask who he was, because again, Spirit wasn't telling me, when he spoke.
"Calm your butt down, Harmony, it's me, Spirit," He nodded to me, "And since you're the only one who can see and hear me, I'd suggest you refrain from talking to me."
Highly confused, I looked at the Vampire in front of me. The heat had transferred around him, keeping him there.
"Don't you think your being a little harsh on him?" Spirit asked.
NO! I noticed how the Vampire kept his head down, not looking at me. He was listening to me?
"What are you?" The Vampire asked, not looking at me.
"Um... You can look at me while your talking to me," I told him as he lifted his head, "And I can't tell you."
"Why not?" He asked, "You know what I am."
I noticed that there was no hint of anger in his voice or anything like what I've seen in the visions Spirit has shown me.
"Maybe that's because your theory is correct?" Spirit asked.
Are you asking or telling me?
"You tell me," Spirit said, shrugging indifferently.
I liked the old Spirit better.
"Of course you do," Spirit came and stood next to me, "He's cute, isn't he?"
I didn't answer, "Your secret is safe with me," I told him, "Mine wouldn't be with you."
"And how do you know that?" He asked.
"A little birdy told me," I said at the exact same time Spirit said it.
I looked at him, confused. He pointed to the Vampire, "Eyes on the prize, sweetheart."
I was so far beyond confused.
"Well, why is it that I feel that I can trust you when there is no proof that
I can?" The Vampire asked.
"That would be my work," Spirit told the Vampire.
You mean, you're making him trust me? I asked.
"No," He looked at me, "People trust me so they feel the need to trust you."
"I don't think you want to think too much about that," I told the Vampire, "Unless you want a headache."
"Sorry about that," Spirit nodded to himself.
"I don't get headaches," The Vampire smirked.
"Lucky you," I smiled back.
"Oooo, you're smiling," Spirit chuckled softly.
I bit my lip, "Harmony," I held out my hand.
"Blaise," But he did not shake my hand, "What do you want with me?"
I opened my mouth to answer him, but Spirit spoke, "Someone's coming."
