Previously…
I stepped on a twig causing it to snap under my foot. She gasped and whipped her head around as she jumped up to her feet. I felt my eyes widen as I realized that the creature in front of me was none other than the new girl, Isabella Swan, herself.
Chapter 3
(Jasper's POV)
In that moment, it felt as if the entire world had stopped – as if the air particles had frozen mid-air and the chirping birds had quietened for just a moment. Her stormy bright blue eyes shined, daring me to look into her soul. I felt the Major stirring inside of me as distant memories from my human life began to tickle the back at the back of my head.
Purity… Power…Unconditional love… beautiful eyes… falling… searching… lost…
Pain and regret bled from Isabella before her emotions suddenly cut off. It was a sudden change that left me reeling. For as long as I could remember, no one, absolutely no one had been able to cut off their feelings from my gift. It felt different… nice.
A small, traitorous tear escaped her eyes.
"Jasper," She whispered hesitantly. My name was whispered tenderly, almost as though it harboured a deep dark secret that only Isabella knew.
"Isabella… I… You aren't human, are you?" I whispered hesitantly before mentally cursing myself. Why did I find it so hard to talk to her? I was Jasper Whitlock, the God of War! The Satan of the South! Yet, I sounded like such a stuttering blunt idiot for asking if she was human when it was clear as day that she wasn't! I mean, it was obvious! Humans don't go around sprouting gigantic feathery wings or have sparkling halo's levitating above their heads that send rainbows in every direction in a far worse manner than even us vampires do!
"No, I'm not." She laughed bitterly and somewhat uncomfortably.
"I… I guess there's no harm in telling you that I'm a vampire, right?" I fumbled. Fumbled? Good God, what was wrong with me?
"There's a lot of harm that could be done by you telling me that. If I were human, I'd be running for the hills. But I knew that you were a vampire long before you told me." She admitted somewhat shyly as her lips quirked somewhat it a nervous smile.
"So… what are you then?" I asked stupidly. Duh!
'You're a vampire. You've been on this world for 169 years! You've seen war, bloodshed and whatever else and you still can't connect the dots? Pity…'
Well, the Major was on my side. At least Peter wasn't here to whack me over the head for not being able to connect the dots.
"What do you think I am, Jasper?" She inquired as she smirked and quirked a delicate eyebrow. "A talking chipmunk that just happens to be able to sprout white feathery wings?"
"An angel," I said softly.
"Congratulations Jasper. What do you want me to give you, an award? A round of applause? I'm an angel and you're a vampire. You're happily in love with the black haired pixie and I love Peter." I suspected that she was being sarcastic, although there was nothing to confirm it as such.
"Peter?" My stomach dropped and I felt a spark of jealousy echo throughout my body and I knew instantly that it was my own emotion. But why was I feeling this way? Why was my body reacting in such a way to this exquisite creature, aside from the obvious?
"Peter," she repeated the name and looked for a spark of recognition to appear in my features. "The annoying guy that has a thing for giving me nicknames like 'cupcake' and 'kitten'?"
"You're in love with him? Do I know him?" I couldn't help the envy that filled my voice against my will.
I love Alice, my mate. My fashion obsessed pixie. I don't care if Isabella Swan is in love with a guy. I love Al-
"I never said I was in love with him Jasper. I just said that I love him." Relief waved over me. "And yes, I believe that you should remember your captain from the Southern Wars."
"Oh, yeah," I immediately felt guilty for not remembering someone that I considered my brother, but decided to change the subject. "Well, why don't you come and meet the family? I'm sure they'd be happy to meet you, now that-"
"Now that there's less of a chance of me being served as dinner or a reason that we can be in each other's lives without fear of punishment?" Isabella suggested.
"Kind of…" I mumbled rubbing the back of my neck.
"Sure," she sighed, "I suppose I'd better go meet the rest of your family." She shrugged, "As long as I won't have to worry about being locked up in a dark basement where I'll be used for experiments and an infinite blood supply."
"Don't worry, my family isn't like that. We won't lock you up and experi- okay, so Carlisle might ask a few questions, but he won't do anything unless you're willing." I admitted.
"Awesome. I find that it's easier to set the rules first," Isabella tapped her head knowingly. "It saves me the trouble of having to break out of the basement later. It can be quite bothersome finding a way to escape your captors." She sighed.
I nodded whilst attempting to be sympathetic. She spoke as if she had already been captured by vampires which made me question what history she and vampires shared.
"Okay, well, do you want to follow me or…?" I trailed off, unsure of what to say or how she travelled.
"Just run home and I'll follow you from above." She pointed towards the sky and laughed at a joke that only she seemed to get before she gestured for me to start running.
._.-:'~The Chronicles of the Fallen~':-._.
As I ran, an old, long forgotten memory - for I knew that that was what it was - flashed to mind.
I looked into her eyes. The shadows covered most of her face, but I could still see her eyes, her beautiful, soulful eyes. They glimpsed into the pain and suffering beneath her strong smile. I wondered what I must have looked like. My blonde curls matted across my face, whilst blood, sweat and tears stuck to my clothes and face. I must have looked like a savage as I lay across her feet, too tired to even try to stand.
"Don't cry." I whisper, "Everything is going to be okay…"
Except, we both knew that it wouldn't be okay. We both knew that this would be the end. That no matter what, by the time the sun set and the stars peeked behind the clouds, I'd be gone. And the chances of us ever being together were bleak.
I had long accepted that this would be the end - that I would have to leave her to continue on without me. I had been forced to come to the fact that life would go on for her and that it was most likely that one day, she would find someone else. That she would move on. No matter how many times she told me that there would be no one else for her and that we were made to be together, I knew that eventually, I would be nothing more than an old memory, a small cloud compared to the glorious sun.
"Jasper… they've decided." She whispered. I could see the tears fill her eyes as she kneeled beside me. She wrapped her arms around my torso as she helped me stand. Oh, what a pitiful sight I must have been. But I didn't care. In that moment, all that mattered was that I knew that everything I had worked towards was about to be crushed into the dust.
…
She whispered, "I love you. Please! Don't leave me Jasper! PLEASE!" Faceless men were holding her arms as she cried. Her entire body shook as she screamed and thrashed against them as she tried to get to me.
And then I was falling. The pain. Nothing, absolutely nothing could compare to the pain I felt as I fell. It was followed by the hollowness and broken despair as I cried. My entire body shook as I felt the shock wear off only to be replaced by more pain. I could only hope that she would forget – that she would one day find someone else that would deserve her unconditional love. I guess I was never meant to be that guy regardless of what we were told and what we felt.
The memory left me confused. I had no idea where I would have gotten that memory and I had no idea who that girl in my memories was. It was obvious that she had meant a lot to me in my past life. And I couldn't help but feel that whoever she was, she held all of the answers to my past life, wherever that was.
If only I could meet her.
