Chapter 7: Tell me A Story

~Can't Fight my Mind…keeps on coming on back to you…Always back to you~

Saturday came way to slow in my opinion. I spent the latter part of the previous night trying to convince Edward to help me find Jasper. I had no idea where he lived and I knew that he did. He was just messing with my head. Of course, he wasn't very happy about the fact that he was helping me find him. It meant I was going against everything he told me not to do.

I stood in my room staring at myself in the large vanity mirror. I think I had changed my outfit like five times before settling on the first one I had on originally. I didn't know why I was so worried about what I was wearing. There was a loud knock at my door as I was grabbing my sweater.

"Let's go Natalia. Jasper isn't going to care what you're wearing." He smirked and I frowned. For some reason, there felt like there was double meaning to that statement. I opened the door and attempted to walk out of the hallway but he grabbed he back.

"But you are not going like that."

"And why not? I think I look perfectly fine…" I looked down at the tank top and jeans as I slipped my sweater on over my shoulders.

"Yes, if you want someone to be eyeing you the entire time." I just laughed at that statement.

"Can we just go please?" I pleaded with him. Giving up, we made our way towards the car. I didn't have to ask him if he knew where he was going, he just drove. He drove a good twenty minutes before he pulled into another long driveway. What were the chances that there would be two houses here that were hidden from everyone?

"Very likely apparently." Edward answered me as we drove down the way until we came to the house. It wasn't big like ours. Where our home had a more vintage quality about it, this house was more modern.

"I think maybe I should stay with you?" he suggested as we both got out of the car.

"Oh no you don't." I placed a hand against him as we made our way to the door and rang the doorbell.

"Precautions Natalia." He whispered as the door opened and one of Jasper's sisters opened the door. The one with the beautiful blonde hair. She looked a little surprised to see me but, she smiled.

"Natalia." She smiled, saying my name. "What brings you to our part of the woods?" she laughed lightly.

"I um…well, I was wondering if maybe Jasper was home?" I saw her breathe a sigh of relief and heard Edward smirk. She must have thought something that didn't make him very happy.

"Yes, yes…why don't you come in?" she looked at me. I looked over at my brother and raised my eyes at him. As if to tell him that he could leave now.

"Cuidado Natalia…todo el tiempo." He frowned at me as he began to leave. Sometimes I wished I would have never told them that I spoke Spanish…

"Shall we?" the Blonde girl called me back to her attention as she held the door open for me.

"I'll go get Jasper. Make yourself at home." She said.

"Thanks….um, I'm sorry I didn't catch your name?"

"Rosalie…it's nice to officially meet you." She gave me a hug and went on her way to find Jasper. She seemed nice enough…not like she would rip me shreds.

"She won't…but I might." I heard a voice call me and I turned around to see his other sister leaning against a doorway. This one was Bella, I remember her…the way she was staring at me when I hit my head.

"Yes, thank God Rosalie has such a soft spot for you…or she probably wouldn't have stopped me." She winked.

"You…um, can hear what people are thinking too?" I said softly, hearing people coming down the stairs.

"Too?" she eyed me "who else do you know that reads minds?"

"My brother." I looked at her. I saw her eyes wander off into thought as she just left the room.

"Don't mind Bella…she's just a little weird." I heard his voice say and I turned around, a smile plastered on my face. Finally…

"Rose told me we had a guest but I wasn't expecting to see you here."

"Yes, well um…I figured that since I had only heard one side of the story…it was only fair that I hear yours."

"Well, I'll leave you two to talking…I hope to see you more of you Natalia." Rosalie smiled before making her way upstairs.

"How did you find our house?" he asked, motioning me to follow him to his backyard I guess you can say.

"Edward found it…I don't know how you guys do it but here I am." I shrugged as we stopped in the middle of the lawn and he told me to sit.

"I should have known. But, I'm glad that he actually brought you here."

"It wasn't his idea I assure you." I laughed and looked around "do you guys live here alone?"

"Yes, it's just the three of us."

"No parents?" he looked at me.

"I mean…well you know…how like Carlisle and Esme are Edward's parents…but not really?" I rambled and I felt like I wasn't making any sense.

"Maybe I should tell you my story…" he suggested.

"Yea, I think I would like that." He went on for the next half an hour or so telling me his story. He told me that he and Rosalie were in fact brother and sister. That, they were originally from Texas and that when he was nineteen and she was eighteen, she disappeared one evening and they never heard from her again. Everyone assuming that she had been kidnapped and killed. He was so distraught that within a few months, he joined the army and fought in the civil war. Yes, the civil war…and then one night, he met some people and they changed him and used him to their advantage. He explained in maybe it little bit too much detail the things he had to do and what he endured. After many years of being this killing machine, he decided to leave that life behind and just began to wander. And then, about twenty or so years after everything, Jasper and Rosalie stumbled upon one another. Although their appearances had changed somewhat, they knew who one another were instantly. It turned out that the night Rosalie disappeared, she was taken by a vampire who was so taken by her beauty that he changed her so she would be his wife for all eternity. But, she didn't want that and she fought many years to get away from him.

"It really was a miracle in disguise." He said softly "I never thought that I would see my sister again…and then, she just popped up one day out of the blue…having endured the same fate as me. So, we stuck together and began to travel…living in one place for a few years before it was time to move on. It was Rosalie that helped me control myself around humans. After everything I had done before, I was so simple for me to kill a human without second thoughts." He said and my heart skipped a beat.

"But, no worries Natalia…those days have long gone by…I am so much better now." He reassured me.

"What about Bella?" I suddenly remembered his other sister.

"Oh yes. Well, Bella is not really our sister. We found her one night when we were living in Italy. Someone had viciously attacked her, having tried to force themselves upon her. But, even back then, Bella was a strong fighter. She was able to fight him off long enough for us to hear her screaming. But, when we reached her, her body was so bruised and battered beyond recognition that we knew there was no way she would survive. And so, being as Rosalie had always wanted a sister…she changed Bella. She knew I couldn't do it…I was still working on things. And when Bella woke up, she was actually glad that we had changed her. But, as time went on, she started to resent the fact that she would no longer be able to do any more human things…that she would stay exactly the way she was forever."

"Is that why she's so mean?" I blurted and he just chuckled.

"Well, I suppose that could be a reason. But, I'm pretty sure Bella has always had that tough exterior...even when she was human."

"So, it seems like things all worked out for you Jasper. You found your sister…gained a new one and you get to live forever."

"Well, I wouldn't go that far. There are still things I've yet to find."

"Like?"

"There'll be time for that later on." He changed the subject "now, I know you didn't just come here to learn my history. There's something a little more specific you had in mind?"

"Um..yea…I want to know just what happened? Like…why you what is it? Oh yea...why you imprinted on me?"

"Well, there is no way to know just why it happened to be you. It just happens."

"That's not a very good answer." I smirked.

"Well, I'm sure that you heard that imprinting isn't something that happens with vampires…but, there are stories that it has happened before in the past. It's just a legend that people don't really believe happened. But, the moment I saw you…I knew that it wasn't just some story. That it was actually possible. There was no other way that I could explain what happened to me that day I saw you for the first time."

"Which was?"

"Pretty much everything around me drifted into the back of my mind…and all I saw was you. You were all I thought about…and that first day in the cafeteria and I saw your face and your bruise, I wanted nothing more than to rip your brother away so that I could make you feel better. I have never experienced such a thing in my existence. You sort of became the center of my universe that day." I felt my breath hitch in my throat. How could he feel like that by simply looking into my eyes?

"What does it mean exactly to imprint on someone?" I asked nervously.

"It means that your entire world shifts onto this one person. That you want nothing more than to be with them at all times. You would do anything for them…sort of like an obsession, but a good one."

"And, the person you imprint on…they fall in love?"

"I'm not really exactly sure. It would be my guess."

"What exactly do you feel? Towards me I mean?"

"Every time I look into those brown eyes of yours" he grabbed my hand and this time, I just let him hold it "I see my whole reason for existing. And I don't ever want to let you go." He whispered. I stood and tried to answer him with something but nothing was coming out. As I attempted to try again, I heard a loud sound of thunder that I was startled so much so that I grabbed onto his hand and he obviously took use of the moment to pull me against him. Under normal circumstances, I would have been mad that he used my weak moment to his advantage. But, I hated the thunder…it scared me tremendously and being near him made me feel safe.

"Let's get out inside." He smiled as rain started to fall on us. I just nodded, my vision being blinded by all the rain. We reached the house in a few moments and I let myself detach from him.

"Was that a little too much?" he said.

"Yea, just a little…given" I took in a deep breath, my heart still racing "everything you just told me." I laughed nervously.

"Jasper what have you done!" Rosalie gasped as she flew down the stairs and was in front of me.

"It was just thunder Rose."

"She looks like she's about to have a heart attack…and she's all wet!" she shook her head.

"I'm really afraid of thunder…" I blushed. It was stupid I know.

"Oh you poor thing…here let me get you some dry clothes." She left my side and went back up the stairs. I just stood there in their living room, feeling bad that I was getting water on their floor. I looked up to find him staring at me again. It was so intense the way he stared at me that I was scared…no one should look at someone with that much intensity…like ever. But, even though he was still staring at me like that, I began to wonder what would happen if we were to have a movie moment? Like, just have him come up and wrap his arms around me and kiss me…I knew he wanted to, it was me who didn't want it. Right?

"Here Natalia. Put these one quickly…your brother just pulled into the driveway." She pushed the clothes at me and I just looked at her. She wanted me to change right here?

"I'll turn around." Jasper laughed. I quickly changed the clothes and into the beautiful designer clothes she let me borrow of hers.

"here, put your clothes in this." He held out a large bag…no doubt another expensive designer.

"But, it'll ruin the purse…"

"This old thing? She laughed "I have plenty of those."

"Oh, okay then." I laughed. The doorbell rang not a minute after that. I saw Jasper dash by us to open the door for Edward.

"Hello." He said in a friendly tone. But, Edward's expression was anything but friendly.

"Natalia…are you ready?" He looked around Jasper and looked at my clothes funny.

"What happened? What did you do to her?" he stared back at Jasper.

"We just got caught in the rain…" he smirked and I could see my brother get even more upset. Jasper just stood there with a smug smile on his face. As if he was wishing that we had been caught…doing something in the rain.

"Thanks Rosalie." I said quickly before rushing to the door before Edward started breaking things. Jasper's hand caught mine before I stepped out of the house.

"Thank you for coming Natalia…" he said, his face not very far from mine.

"Mmhm, sure." I nodded nervously.

"Natalia." Edward said, his jaw clenched. I let go of his hand and followed him to the car.

"It's fine Edward…nothing happened." I whispered to him as we got into the car. Jasper just stood there and waved until I finally waved back as Edward sped down the path.

"Yes, but he wished that something had happened." He smirked as we kept driving.

"Really?" I frowned. I mean, just because he finally explained himself to me…he was still a mystery to me. I didn't know how to feel about him…though, I'm pretty sure I now knew how he felt about me.

"Natalia…stop it." His head shaking the thoughts of his head "I don't need you to remind me about how he feels for you."

So…it was true. What was I going to do now?

*How was it??*
