Carlisle pulled open the front door and I had to jump back as a tiny, dark haired girl jumped into Carlisle's arms

"Carlisle! It's so wonderful to finally meet you!"

I started to walk forward, ready to protect my father, when the girl let go of him. She turned to me and a wide grin swept across her face.

"Christian!" she exclaimed and wrapped her arms around my neck. She was maybe an inch or two shorter then me, but she hugged me tight, pulling me close. "You are so adorable, even more than I thought!"

My eyes bugged out as I tried to pull away from her.

"Who the bloody hell are you!" I hissed, "lemme go!" looking at my father for help, but Carlisle was just as shocked as I.

The girl let me go and tapped my nose, still grinning wide.

"I knew I was going to love your accent! But you still should watch your language." She turned to my mother and sister "right Esme?" She started walking towards them and I quickly recovered from my shock and darted in front of them, blocking this nutter from my sister and mother.

By this point I didn't care if I looked defensive, I was not going to let her anywhere near Esme or Rosalie.

"Um, young lady…" Carlisle spoke up as the girl pouted and crossed her arms, she seemed unhappy that I wouldn't get out of her way, but she didn't look like she would force me to move.

"Oh…OH! I am so sorry. I should have introduced myself…I was just so excited to see you all in person I got ahead of myself." I looked at Carlisle and he shrugged "my name is Alice, your Carlisle," she said looking at my father, "that's Christian, and Rosalie and Esme. Edward and Emmett aren't back huh? Darn, I was hoping to meet them."

My eyes bugged out again.

"How the bloody hell do you know our names!" I exclaimed, Esme reached out and grabbed my shoulder. Alice didn't answer; instead she turned to the door and darted back to it. Carlisle moved away from it, standing closer to us, "she's not alone" I hissed to my father, reminding him.

We looked where Alice had gone as she came back in holding a tall blonde fellow by the hand leading him into the house.

He studied us as I studied him, when our eyes met I shrank back…war… this guy had seen more wars than anyone I had ever met.

He had seen cruelty that not many humans, nor many vampires had ever seen. He had participated in such cruelty. He had caused pain and suffering on others. Both human and vampire alike, he was dangerous because of that.

Physically he was just about the same age as Emmett, but I could read his body language, in years on this earth, he's much, much older than Emmett, he's older than Edward and older than Esme and he's been on this earth longer than any of us excluding Carlisle, but even my father hadn't seen what this vampire had.

We stared each other down and as we did I felt suddenly calm and try as I could, I couldn't fight it.

I narrowed my eyes and he did the same. He was doing this, I couldn't explain it, but somehow he was toying with my emotions.

My eyes went wide; he was doing to me what I can do to the animals we share the world with

Bloody hell so that's what it feels like.

"Everyone this is Jasper." Alice introduced, Jasper remained tense, he continued to stare at me, waiting for me to look away, he was sizing me up.

Like Alec from the Volturi he was trying to stare me down, make me submit to defeat and his authority, he was trying to make me feel inferior and I wouldn't let that happen, especially not in my own home.

I could tell he didn't see Carlisle as a threat, and though at first glance he didn't consider me a threat, something about me must have made him reconsider that, because he narrowed his eyes at me.

Before I could react, Rosalie stepped forward, and I heard her growl quietly at him, which he returned.

I didn't like this at all, this Jasper bloke is dangerous, he cant be trusted. He bared his teeth at my sister and I forgot about Carlisle's instructions to back off and not instigate as I started to move forward. I would protect my sister and my mother.

When he growled at Rosalie I growled right back and crouched a bit, my body tensing and ready for a fight, just as Emmett had taught me to do when we wrestled.

I know how to defend myself and I know how to fight, my brothers had taught me well and my profiling ability protected me just as well.

Jasper's body tensed, he hadn't expected me, this puny not much bigger than his companion kid to be a threat, but he had quickly changed his mind 'bout that.

"Chris no," Carlisle whispered

"That's enough both of you!" Alice scolded, catching me off guard. I stared at her and quickly looked at Jasper as he humbly put his head down. She controlled him…whatever temper he had, however dangerous this Jasper was, Alice kept him under control. She looked over at Carlisle and Esme "boys." She replied rolling her eyes at us as if we were just two children getting into a pissing contest. "Jasper, remember what I said they are not going to hurt us."

"Says who…" I muttered. Japer heard me and growled again, I growled right back and was ready to spring at him, but before I could Jasper made his move, ready to attack me. But Alice stopped him, she put her hand on his shoulder.

"No Jasper." Alice warned gently.

I could see it in Jasper's eyes and I could read it on his body language…he didn't like me, nor did he trust me.

Whatever was written in his past was pushed by the knowledge not to trust our kind, and especially do not trust those who appear innocent, who appear harmless.

Not since the Volturi had I seen a look like that in someone's eyes…it wasn't satisfaction like Aro had, his look of usefulness when he looked at me, the look of my existence being beneficial.

It was the look I had seen in Demtri and Felix's eyes…FEAR, not just fear of the colour of my eyes, but fear of the dangers someone who looks so young could be capable of.

I could see the wheels in his mind turning, what other purpose besides a deceptive one, could someone have for turning a child into a vampire.

Jasper could not comprehend that it wasn't alternative motives that had led to my entering this life, but family and love.

Carlisle stepped in, making sure that nothing else would erupt. He could tell I was getting protective and it was only a matter of moments before a fight broke out.

Something caught my father's attention and I leaned closer to see what that something was.

"You hunt animals." He stated and I looked to Alice's eyes and I couldn't help but blink in shock. Her eyes were yellow, like the rest of our family.

"Yes, and we owe it all to you."

"I apologize, but I am certain we have never met" Carlisle replied, just as confused as the rest of us

"Oh, we haven't." She paused giving the room a once over "what a beautiful house, Esme you have a real talent for interior decorating."

"Is she a lunatic?" Rosalie hissed, looking down at me for confirmation and Jasper growled at her. I growled back, just reminding him that I was there and would not hesitate to defend my sister. To most I may look harmless, but Jasper was quickly learning that I am anything but.

"Jasper, its ok, stop!" Alice reprimanded him, and I stopped too surprised that he not only listened to her, but actually complied.

"Why don't we sit down?" Esme offered.

I straightened up and uncrossed my arms before I looked at Esme in shock. I started walking towards her, but again a look from Carlisle stopped me. I opened my mouth to protest and he shook his head, Carlisle was pulling rank here and as his son I was expected to obey, didn't mean I had to be happy 'bout it.

I watched as everyone moved to the sitting room, I stayed still, my eyes locked in a glare at Jasper. But Rosalie took hold of my arm and dragged me over to the sofa, she sat down slowly and pulled on my arm trying to get me to do the same but I wouldn't sit.

Everything in me screamed not to relax I couldn't take my eyes off of Jasper he's dangerous I have to protect my family by any means necessary, if Carlisle was going to insist on giving them a chance I was going to insist on protecting my family from them.

Carlisle looked over at me, begging me with his eyes to calm down. He had moved past ordering me, at realizing he would get me to comply only on certain commands, but not everything. He was now at the point where he wanted to push those other commands, but he stopped when he saw what I had profiled in the beginning: Jasper's scars, his mark of war.

My father now saw my concern, my hesitation to relax around Jasper, more than that he understood it.

"Alice I think you need to explain things, you are confusing them." Jasper spoke up.

"I'm getting to it." she replied

I saw Jasper smile for a quick second at her

"A little quicker and a little less vague please."

My mind quickly sorted out my initial profile of both newcomers. Jasper was a tougher, but it was as if Alice wanted me to understand her, wanted me to come to a conclusion about her and her hints. It took a moment or so, but I soon realized what was going on with Alice… she was psychic, she had to be. The way she carried herself, the way she spoke.

My eyes went wide, but I couldn't convey it to my family, I was trying to figure out how I could use my ability to combat it.

"Well, I have visions…of the future I mean. It isnt always accurate, after all when someone changes their mind, their future changes."

"And us?" Carlisle asked

"I found myself regretting killing humans, I would see the future without that person and it was painful to know that I caused that. When I decided I wouldn't hunt humans any longer I had visions of your family and the way you live and I felt comforted by that. I wanted to be a part of it, I knew we belonged here."

"So you're psychic?" Carlisle asked and I was thankful that he managed to conclude that himself.

"Yes. I had one vision that brought us to you."

I squeaked out a gasp and Rosalie took hold of my shoulder as she growled at Alice. To my surprise Jasper didn't growl back, instead he just glared.

"You want to join the family?" Esme asked and when Alice looked at her, despite her hopeful look, I felt torn between protecting Rosalie and getting over to my mother to protect her. But then again she had Carlisle by her side, but Carlisle is more trusting than I am.

"Yes please." Alice replied. She suddenly looked uncomfortable and looked at me desperately and I studied her to understand why, then I realized If she truly is psychic which I believe she is, she must have seen my ability and possibly seen how it works, she was hoping that I would profile something on not only her, but the rest of the family to give her confirmation that her and Jasper WOULD become a part of the family. But she would not get any of that information from me and I think she realized that and accepted it though she did appear disappointed. I also connected with what she said earlier, about her visions not being 100%. If Carlisle said no to them staying, then the future she had seen with them joining the family would change.

"Why don't you both tell us a little more about yourselves, before we make it to that decision." Carlisle said gently, my eyes went wide again and I shot my father a look, I couldn't believe he was allowing this. To my surprise he gave me warning look telling me to calm down.

"Where would you like us to start?" Alice asked

"When were you both turned?"

"1864." Jasper answered short, military like.

"I don't know," Alice said softly and I stared at her, how could she not know when she became a vampire.

I studied her more closely and I could see, just by her discomfort with Carlisle's simple question there was more to it than that. Not only did she have no idea when she entered this life, she also had no idea who she really was, her past was a mystery to her and not the good kind.

She was completely unaware of her life before being turned and despite all the distrust I had for Jasper I suddenly felt sympathy for Alice, something I hadn't felt for a stranger in a long time.

"How is that possible?" I looked over at Carlisle for an explanation, he gave me a simple shrug and the look on his face told me that I was right to feel sympathy for Alice's predicament and he was pleased that I did.

"I don't remember anything, being human, the change. It is all a blank. The only thing I remember is having a vision, of Jasper," again I looked over at Carlisle for an explanation. I had profiled this on Alice, but was still surprised for it to actually be correct.

I just couldn't understand how she could not remember being changed, nor how she couldn't remember her life before hand, unless she was older than my siblings and I, we all remember our lives before this life, Carlisle it's harder for him even with our excellent memory, after all that's three nearly four hundred years of history to remember.

But the more I looked at Alice, I began to conclude that she is nowhere near as old as Carlisle, nor Jasper, nor Esme; she might just come close to Edward, but only just. There had to be another reason for her amnesia.

I stared at Alice trying to profile her a bit more and out of the corner of my eye I saw Jasper glare at me a little for looking at her to long.

I can't be certain, but I think Alice had foreseen Edward and I's abilities and had forewarned Jasper (and I'm not sure why I felt betrayed about that.) there is no way she could know the specifics of how my ability works, but she knew enough to inform Jasper who seemed to see my profiling as a threat.

I was so busy concentrating on what I had managed to profile on the pair of them, I was completely oblivious to the conversation that was continuing without me, until Carlisle confirmed the one thing about Jasper I had profiled straight on, what I had feared the most.

"You fought in the wars?" my father asked

"Yes." Jasper answered swiftly and I felt my body stiffen. Rosalie, feeling this, gave my hand a squeeze to keep me calm.

I didn't care what war Carlisle was talking about, mainly because I'm certain he wasn't talking about any war that humans had fought in. Was it possible that there had been vampire wars?

I looked at Jasper again, his scars seemed more prominent now and again he glared at me his burnt orange eyes darkening. It had to be true, only our kind can do that kind of damage to us.

I felt sick to my stomach and no amount of comforting from Rosalie helped to calm me, I didn't even listen to the rest of the conversation.

In my mind I knew enough about Jasper to know I was afraid and I do not make it a habit to admit my fears or weaknesses.

"Can we keep them?" I heard Esme whisper to Carlisle and I felt my stomach drop as I looked at my parents, a pleading look in my eye, to which Esme was oblivious to and Carlisle shrugged.

"So our room, upstairs and to the left?" Alice spoke up a wide smile on her face and I couldn't help but groan, as my protest went unheard.

To my horror, my parents stood up and gestured for Alice and Jasper to follow giving them a tour of the house. I looked over at Rosalie who looked just as shocked as I did.

"What the bloody hell just happened?" I exclaimed, she shook her head unable to answer.

"Christian Aiden, Language!" I heard Esme call from upstairs and I groaned again all this going on, a psychotic psychic pixie and a dangerous former vampire soldier in our house and she was more concerned about my language?

I looked at Rosalie again who shook her head, still dumbfounded by the situation, we both had the same look on our face.

A feeling hit me as Alice chose a room and I looked back at Rosalie, there was hope, she saw my mouth twitch into a sly grin.

"What?" she hissed "what could you possibly be smiling at!"

"Edward's going to kill them."

"Why?"

"That little pixie picked his room."
