Chapter 3: Rose Petals

Jasper awoke laying in a bed in an unrecognizable room. He could smell his family near by and feel their emotions as well, so he assumed that he must still be in the Cullen Manor. He looked at his surroundings from his position on the bed shockingly unable to move from weakness. His view was limited; all he could see was the large floor to ceiling window on his right, a bookcase in front of him on the opposing wall, and a beautiful vase filled with some of Esme's cream colored roses on a table at the foot of his bed. Jasper couldn't see to his left because of a surgical curtain blocking his left view. He huffed as he tried to reposition himself more comfortably.

Jasper was baffled at the thought of awaking. "I was…asleep?" He thought furrowing his brows in order to contemplate what he remembered last. However, he gave up because the tumultuous sea of emotions inside the household which made him feel physically ill and caused a pounding in his head. Jasper winced massaging his temples methodically.

Jasper sighed and cleared his mind so that he could establish what his family was feeling. He felt: fear, worry, concern, anger, love and above all pain…and Jasper knew it was his fault. Or at least, he convinced himself that his family's suffering was his fault. "No control over my emotions! My shaky abstinence for human blood! Being so weak and helpless and…human!" Jasper thought angrily taking the blame for everything that was hurting his family.

Jasper was so overwhelmed, that he felt the ache in his heart grow stronger causing something wet to roll down his cheeks. Jasper reached up to feel what it was, and he realized that he was crying! The tears were quickly rolling down his cheeks causing his emotions to run wild in fright. "WHAT'S HAPPENING TO ME!?" Jasper thought wiping away all the human tears hastily as he heard the door open. "How can I cry when I'm a vampire? I must be fading…back into a human? That makes no sense," Jasper thought as he heard someone approach his bed.

"You're a vampire, Jasper." It was Edward who had come to stand by Jasper. Obviously, Edward had heard Jasper's thoughts.

"Of course he is, Edward," Carlisle said walking over to Jasper as well leaning over Jasper to do a check up, "Now, back away so I can get a look at him, Edward."

Edward backed away from the table but not out of Jasper's line of sight which, surprisingly for Jasper, made him feel at ease, happy. Others also had walked into the room because Jasper could feel more emotions spilling into the relatively small room. By the likes of it, Jasper thought it was Rosalie, Emmett, and Esme who entered based on the emotions and their emotional habits. He was right; he could see them standing next to Edward now.

Jasper began to feel the pounding in his head again squirming under Carlisle's grip as Carlisle checked Jasper's ears, eyes, nostrils and mouth with a little white flashlight. Jasper involuntarily cried out in pain as the emotions in the room overwhelmed him to his breaking point. His simple cry of pain caused everyone to jump around his bed to see what was wrong layering the tension, worry, and pain thickly on Jasper, and no longer could he hold it in.

Jasper screamed.

He screamed a high pitch scream of utter tortuous pain and suffering feeling all their worry heightening causing him to scream louder. The roses began to wilt and whither away; their petals falling off the buds and the buds and stems shriveling up into black twigs. Edward, Emmett, Rosalie, Esme and Carlisle felt a warmness flowing through their veins, and the pounding of their long silent hearts.

Edward read Jasper's thoughts and saw the flowers wilting and felt his heart-rate beating rhythmically in his chest. He knew that Jasper was the one causing this to happen, but he didn't understand how. Edward knew how to make Jasper stop screaming, but it took him a second to step into action from his utter bafflement at feeling warmth and a heart beating in his chest.

"Everyone, calm down! Our emotions are causing him pain!" Edward called out calming himself, "Calm yourselves so that he won't feel what we are feeling."

The others did not question Edward, only nodded. They went silent and meditated, clearing their thoughts. Jasper's screams subsided until he was just in an emotional heap on the bed from writhing about. He was panting, yet he was still a cold, dead, blood-thirsting vampire. Tears were pouring down his cheeks and he tried to wipe them away, but his arms were too weak.

The others' warmness and heartbeats vanished and they became cold and marble-like once more. They looked at each other and then down at Jasper disbelievingly all the while keeping their emotions in check. The roses were returning to life, bearing new, green buds that blossomed into beautiful, dew-speckled cream roses.

Everyone was in such shock and confusion at what had just occurred that they stood there in silence for two minutes or so.

Finally, Carlisle asked, "Welcome back to the conscious world, Jasper, how are you feeling now?"

"Weak…"Jasper responded meekly, "Where's Alice?"

"We sent her hunting," Carlisle said softly, "She stayed by your bedside for all three days while you were unconscious. She was starving herself to see you awake because she couldn't look into your future for all she saw was darkness. She patiently waited beside you for all three days until we forced her to go hunting. She should be back in two hours or so."

Jasper nodded and thought Edward looked aggravated while the others looked worried, but surprisingly they all held in their emotions keeping a calm and pleasant atmosphere. Edward quickly smiled at him meaning that he had heard Jasper's thoughts and now he was trying to pull off an "I'm-not-worried-or-upset" look. Edward heard that and his face fell acknowledging that his emotions were discovered by the empath. With Carlisle's help, Jasper sat up in his bed leaning back against his pillows.

"What's the diagnosis, Carlisle?" Esme asked her voice eloquent, yet Jasper could detect worry in it.

"Well," Carlisle began, "It seems to me that Jasper is experiencing emotional trauma, and apparently new abilities. It seems as though he can give life to the lifeless and take it away from the living temporarily. However, I do not believe that this ability is his own…I think he might be feeling someone or something else's emotions and subsequently, his or her or its powers. The power to control life and death, even if it is only temporary, is dangerous and neither common for humans nor vampires."

"So what does this mean?" Edward asked a bit protectively and looking quite frustrated.

"I'm not sure," Carlisle said in contemplation.

"What do you mean you don't know?" Rosalie snapped finally losing control of the anger she had been bottling up. Jasper winced slightly closing his eyes and gasping in pain.

"Rose, keep it down," Edward said threateningly staring straight at Jasper, completely rigid. Edward was so tempted to go over to Jasper's bedside, caress his cheek, and stroke his blonde lochs. That was when Edward realized that he had to feel something for Jasper, and if he were human, he would be blushing a deep red then. Jasper calmed down and felt a wave of embarrassment from Edward and something else, something Jasper was determined to interprete as brotherly affection and nothing more. {Dauphine: ROFL! Sorry I started laughing as I wrote this!!! LOL}

"Well now, Rosalie, Edward," Carlisle said admonishingly, "If you must know, I feel as if either something is affecting Jasper for the first time, or, forgive my lack of better words Jasper, that Jasper is hiding something from us."

Jasper heard the screaming coming back again and subsequently, so did Edward. Jasper fell back into the darkness from whence he had awoken from. Edward was over by his bed holding onto the sheets to keep him standing. Edward could feel himself being pulled into the dark pit that he saw Jasper falling through endlessly. Edward called out in his mind, "JASPER!" and began to fall reaching out for Jasper.
