Chapter 2: You did What??
*Jasper's POV*
It had been a relatively normal, boring morning today. Just another start of another year. Things like these were simply routine to me now. I drove with my sisters to our school…our small school I might add. Nothing every exciting ever happened here to these people. Little did they know that they had three vampires lurking around, fighting the urge to attack them whenever they got too close. I silently had my way to my first class, which was history. I hated history class because they never taught it right! Whatever the case, I made my way into the room and while I was searching for an empty seat, I didn't notice someone turn and bump into me.
"Ow, that's going to leave a bruise." I heard an embarrassed voice say as this person leaned down to get their books. I bent down at the same time and it's then that I quickly caught a glance of her face. I must have been staring at her too much because she eyed me funny.
"Sorry about that." I apologized. She just nodded and made her way to her seat. I couldn't keep my eyes off of her as she sat down and for the rest of the class. She didn't see me staring at her obviously. I was too quick to let anyone catch on. My other two classes passed but, I could stop thinking about this girl. Who was she? Clearly she was new? But, what intrigued me the most was the fact that even though she was inches away from me, her scent did not burn my throat the way that every single human I have ever encountered in my existence as a vampire has done to me. I was dumbfounded. By the time lunch came around, I was so desperate. I wanted to desperately see this girl again. She had to be in the lunch room right? Where else would she be? I scanned the room quickly as I sat with my sisters at our usual table. If they were staring at me funny, I didn't care…I didn't have time for that right now. And then, I found her…she was walking across the room to another empty table along with some guy with her. She was looking at him funny, and he had his eyes locked on something…as if he was looking for someone. But, it was his appearance that threw me off. He looked awfully similar…to me. Same pale color skin…same stare on his face when we think about something.
"Impossible." I muttered and not a moment too soon, I heard it. A low hiss coming from across the room. Both of my sister's heads turned towards me and followed my gaze. Without thinking, I stood.
"Where are you going?" I heard one of them ask me. I didn't answer. I just kept walking. Walking towards her like she was pulling with some sort of force. I got to the table and before I could finish my sentence, the guy was standing in front of her…a low growl coming from his chest. I let the same happen to me. He was one of us. I tried to look around him but he wouldn't budge.
"Leave her alone." The guy said harshly. I was a little confused. Was she with this guy? Why was he acting so protective of her?
"I didn't know she was taken." I said, a hint of disappointment I'm sure rolling of my tounge.
"She is my sister…and I swear if you come near her again." I didn't pay attention to his threat. His sister? How was that possible? She was not like him at all. She was perfectly human…I could sense it. At the same time, I was relieved that he was her brother and not anything else.
"Edward stop it!" I heard the sweet voice call again but this time, it was laced with fear.
"We don't mean any harm…" she looked up at me and I froze. Everything around me just blurred and all I saw was her. Her eyes pierced through mine and I felt something. Something that didn't make sense. It was a feeling of protection. I didn't understand? Why would I want to protect this human? I caught glimpse of her arm as she moved a little and I saw the bruise forming on her wrist. Anger flowed thru me. I had hurt her! I longed to reach out and just hold her against me, assuring her that everything would be okay. But, her brother was in the way of me doing any of that. I stared at her, wanting nothing more than to rip this Edward guy away from her and be next to her. Before I could do anything, the bell rang and she was instantly taken away from me. I watched her as they left…his arm grasping hers tightly. If he hurt her…
"Don't even think about it." I heard him whisper. What was she thinking? Did she want to look back at me? Was she curious? Had I terrified her completely?
"Jasper…outside, now!" I heard someone snarl at me and I turned around and saw my sisters opening the door that lead towards the parking lot. I walked outside and we went to the car.
"What was all that! Are you trying to get us exposed!" my sister Isabella snapped.
"Bella, calm down. I'm sure he has a perfectly reasonable explanation for his actions." My other sister, Rosalie said calmly.
"Jasper, can you please explain to us what was going on over there with those two people."
"The boy…he's like us." I breathed out and they looked stunned "but not the girl…she's completely human. They're brother and sister."
"That's ridiculous Jasper! That isn't possible." Bella shook her head, still visibly upset.
"It is…I could sense it. The only emotion he had radiating towards her were of protection and it's clear that she is his sibling..somehow."
"But I saw you Jasper…you were staring at her…so intensely. You don't think she is your…." Rosalie stopped talking when I caught drift of what she was suggesting.
"No, she isn't my singer…"
"Oh thank God!" she sighed, relieved "I couldn't stand knowing that poor girl was in danger from us."
"It's so confusing. Because, not only did I stand so close to her earlier but, her scent did nothing to me…absolutely nothing…like there was no way I could ever hurt her."
"Oh! You've got to be kidding me…" Bella laughed coldly as she stared at me. She had heard my thoughts!
"I think that's what this is…what else could explain it?" I looked at her.
"That is just stuff of legends Jasper. No one has ever actually experienced it."
"What? What is it?" Rosalie joined back in the conversation.
"I think…" I eyed the two of them "I think I might have imprinted on this girl…" I sighed and both of their faces dropped. Bella's out of complete anger and Rosalie's out of sympathy.
This was unbelievable. This wasn't supposed to happen. How could this girl…this girl who I knew nothing about be the one who was destined to be my soul mate? She was a human for god sakes! Then, as if on cue, I saw them come out of the building. He had somehow gotten them released early from class. My eyes instantly connected with hers from across the parking lot and her face froze. Her brother had her back towards me but that quickly changed. He looked as if he wanted to lunge at me and I was more than prepared to fight him. But, she grabbed him gently and he stared back at her.
"Don't Edward…let's just go home." She whispered but I could see her face was marked with tears. What did he say to her? Why was she crying? I was about to walk towards her when suddenly Bella was in front of me.
"Get in the car." She hissed, pushing me back. I just obliged and got into the car and I watched her every moment until she was out of sight. I knew that this wasn't the end. I would see her again…
Did you guys like it? For this story, I decided to change it up a bit. I wanted Rosalie to actually be the compassionate one for once because personally, I like her character and I thought it'd be nice to have her be the nice one. And, I threw Bella in there as the mean on because…she's always portrayed as the sweet, innocent one. So, hopefully you enjoyed it! PLEASE tell me what you thought…I want to continue the story but I have to know what you thought.
