His freezing lips cooled my burning pink cheek, he gently withdrew and dropped one my hands. I gently caressed my cheek before looking up at the man…..Jasper with shock. I knew he had watched over me for years but I'd only just meet him.
I was pulled from any thought when I felt someone throw themselves at me, sending me stumbling back. As the person pulled away I saw it was the woman from the field. She was gorgeous, bleach blond straight hair, porcelain skin and she was just a little shorter than me.
I knew she was a vampire just like Jasper, I wasn't scared...yet. Neither had taken a bite out of me and so far they only showed kindness to me. The woman eyes were a beautiful crimson red that shone in the light. Standing next to her made me feel slightly self conscious but I kept reminding myself "of course she's beautiful, she's a vampire."
The woman grabbed my face and squished my cheeks together while she squealed.
"You're gorgeous Bella! Sorry about knocking you out at the field but it had to be done. By the way I'm Charlotte! Ahhhh! We're going to be the best of friends!" She let go of my cheeks and gave me a tight hug which lifted me off the ground.
I heard light laughter coming from the doorway.
"Sweetheart, put Bella down before you crush her." I saw it was the man with golden-brown hair from the field.
Charlotte set me back on my feet before flashing over to the man; I shut my eyes and shook my head to make sure my head didn't rush. I saw her pouting at the man before lightly hitting his arm.
"I wasn't and wouldn't hurt Bella, Peter! Was I hurting you Bella?" I shook my head and Charlotte gave him a smug look before sticking out her tongue. Peter rolled his eyes at her before taking her in his arms and kissing her forehead. He rested his chin on the top of her head and smiled at me. They pulled apart and kissed each other; they waved at me and Jasper before zipping out of the room.
I looked down at my arm when I saw Jasper's hand. I looked up at him and he smiled before guiding me out of the room. He walked me down the hallway and into the kitchen which held so many appliances that I couldn't even count. There was a screen door on the side of the room which led out to the gardens and forest.
He opened the sliding door and offered me a plush chair, I sat down and looked out at the garden and forest it was magnificent,; the sun shone down and the wind lightly blew. I looked over at Jasper and saw him staring at me.
"You say you've been watching me since I was a baby. Why?" He looked away from me and cleared his throat.
"When a vampire learns of his mate he or she will go out of their way to find them. When I found you I wanted to scoop you up and take you away from your parents, but you were so young and it didn't feel right taking you away from them."
"You said you overthrew the humans and are in control now, is it only you or do Charlotte and Peter rule alongside you?"
"No, Peter and Charlotte control my armies. I've always ruled alone…..until now." I give a confused expression before it suddenly dawns on me.
"You want me….to rule with you?"Jasper got up from his seat and kneeled in front of my and he wrapped his hands around my calf's.
"It would be an honor for you to rule alongside me." I stared at him, his eyes pleading for me to accept.
I sighed before standing up, shaking his hands away. I walked over to the metal railing and looked at the forest. The wind blew a heavy gust of wind sending my hair flying back. I looked over at him when he stood next to me.
"Jasper you know everything about me, but I know close to nothing about you. Maybe once I begin to learn more about you I can accept but, as of right now…..I can't." I saw his shoulders slump and it broke my heart.
"I understand Bella, but I must warn you…you're going to fall in love with me!" I heard the playfulness in his voice and laughed along with him. When suddenly my stomach growled, he laughed at me before pushing off the railing.
"Come on Bella let's get you something to eat." He held out his pale hand which I firmly grasped. His hand was freezing but something about how he strongly held onto it felt warm.
