BPOV
*About to have a meeting with the Cullen's and Whitlock's while waiting for the rest to arrive she reminisces how she got here*
I knew Jasper would eventually catch up with me. I wanted him to; I could have easily altered my appearance if I wanted my identity to stay hidden. But I thought that my gift well Peter Whitlock's gift would give me a heads up. My natural vampire gift is a shield, but I also have the ability to absorb other supernatural beings powers as well. Seeing how I'm a hybrid of a Shape-shifter and a Vampire, I can only use my powers in my Vampire state which I can switch to and from. Shape shifters and Vampires are natural born enemies they cannot co-exist without self destructing. The last time I tried to be both a shifter and a vamp at the same time I passed out and went into a coma for weeks, I'm lucky I am still alive. But there is a catch when I'm in the stage where I'm both vampire and shifter that's when I'm my most powerful. I prefer being in my vampire state because of all the gifts that come along. Anyway, a couple days ago, Sunday, Jasper walked into my bar. I really thought my gift would give me a chance to at least know when he was coming.
Sunday the bar is close I usually come in to the inventory with my staff; Rose, Alice, Garrett and my little brother Eric. Eric is a hybrid like me and the others are Vampires. We were all joking around, fixing up the place when Jasper walked into this scene…
FLASHBACK
"Eric, can you bring up the last box?" I yelled from behind the bar I was currently stocking up. "Yes, ma'am" he answered mockingly raising from his spot on one of the tables. "It's not my fault you're a lazy bum and all you want to do is text all your little girlfriends." I snapped at him. "Go easy on him, he's only a kid" Gar said, Al & Rose agreeing with him. "Well you all know he's going to have to grow up real fast" I said bringing up our purpose here, making the room suddenly tense. That's when Jasper decides to stroll in; we all look up at him in shock, seeing how neither Alice nor I saw him coming. Just when he was about to say something Eric comes back looking right at me and saying "Mom, there's actually two more boxes down there"
Jasper looks from me to Eric in confusion repeating "Mom?" Eric looks at us and asks "Who are you?" rudely. Jasper makes a face of disgust probably finally smelling his wolf stench retorts "Who are you?" I can tell this will end badly so I bark out orders "Alice, Garrett take Eric home. Eric go home, don't argue & don't ask. Rose take a drive I'll call you when I need you. Jasper have a seat." Everyone stares for a minute then spur into action. Except Jasper he just stands by the door watching everyone gather their things and leave. "Good luck buddy" Gar says as he pats Jasper on the back while leaving with the crowd.
"Are you going to sit? Or you can stand whatever floats your boat" I question him as I walk around the bar taking a seat at one of the bar stools. He takes a second looking around I use this time to fully look at him. He has short blonde hair that's a little longer in the front that you could tell would curl if grown out, piercing blue gray eyes and full pink lips. He makes me feel underdressed in his tailored black suit that hugs his broad shoulders. He looks good while I probably look like a bum in my jeans and UF hoodie and green converse. I'll tell myself its Sunday and I don't need to look good for him anyway.
He finally sits at a table close to where I'm sitting and makes eye contact which causes another tense silence as we stare into each other's eyes. It's like there's an electrical cord holding our gazes to each other. It's one of my powers to daze people but it feels weird having it done to me. He breaks the silence with an awkward "Sooo how about them Gators?" he jokes gesturing towards my jacket. I laugh and shake my head then say "I know you didn't come here for that, soo how about you just ask what you want to know and I might give you an answer." I retort with a playful smile on my face. He rubs a hand across his stubble while answering truthfully "I actually didn't come here to interrogate you, I came to invite you to dinner via Carlisle, but know I do have one question now…" I raise an eyebrow motioning for him to ask away, fully knowing what he is going to ask about. "Mom?" he questions again, doubting that I'll give a truthful answer. "He's my little brother, but our mom was never in the picture so he sometimes calls me mom or ma" I answer truthfully. "But he's a wolf how is he your little brother, you guys look so much alike" he continues. "That's more than one question" I point out but continue to answer "We are hybrids we can switch from our werewolf and vampire states, and that is all I am going to say on the subject for now it will be best to tell all your family at once" I conclude. "Ok" he agrees "That's fair". A couple more moments of silence happen.
"Want a drink?" I ask suggestively while pulling out a bourbon bottle and using my full speed to appear in front of him, standing in between his outstretched legs. I open the bottle and take a long swing while keeping eye contact with him.
"Yes ma'am" he drawls in that's southern accent. He pulls me down by my neck roughly pressing his lips to mine.
Not what I was exactly thinking, but it works.
Cliffhanger I know, I just didn't want to go anywhere with it yet. Like I said the story is writing itself. You got some background on Bella and you should get the rest in the next two chapters … hopefully lol. But please tell me how you like it and any ideas you have for the future. Anyone want a teaser? Let me know. Bye loves J
