Alice carried Jessie outside. Still no sign of life from her.
Chapter
Two
Jessie's POV
I felt like I was being moved, but why? How? What just happened?
Wait, something was coming back. Oh yeah. Anthony. He touched me. I was overwhelmed by his past.
My power is seeing the past of a person when I touch them. It doesn't work with Jake or Renesmee. And with vampires I can only see little bits, fragments of their life. I've never touched a human before, and what happened was strange. I saw everything. His whole life--all of it. It shocked me, and I was knocked off my feet. I decided to stay down to hopefully get away from Anthony. I guess I did…
"She'll stop faking in two seconds." Alice said brightly. She looked at Jasper.
"I wasn't faking!" I opened my eyes. "I had an overload, or something. I don't really know. Where is that boy and how dare he touch me?"
Jasper looked away from me. "I saw you go down. I wasn't thinking. I punched him. Not as hard as I could, but still, I hope I did some damage."
"Good. Thanks, Jasper."
"Thanks?"
"I don't like him."
Alice suddenly went blank. She gasped.
"Alice?" Jasper grabbed her shoulders. "Alice?" He called again.
Alice opened her eyes and looked at me. "I see one of us running," she said, "Far away, not stopping."
"Why?" I asked.
"I don't know."
"When?" I kept pressing her for information.
"I don't know."
"Do you know who?" I was getting a tad bit scared.
"I don't know!" Alice screamed.
"Sorry," I said, "I'm just really worried. I mean, what if it's me?"
"We'll help you." Jasper answered.
"Sure as hell is hot." Emmett said brightly. "Unless of course hell is cold. You know, they never really say… It could be icy…"
Edward and Bella came running outside. Bella had been helping the Newton twerp for some reason. Probably because she has the best control around blood, right after Carlisle, that is.
"He's out cold. Carlisle is coming to check him out. We got him moved before any of the other humans noticed what had happened. We want to keep it quiet."
"Good." Emmett said. "What's Carlisle going to tell him when he wakes up?"
"That he took Jessie's hand, then she slipped and took him down with her. He landed on his face and broke his nose." Edward answered. He then looked at me. "It's a good thing you were overloaded. You might have attacked him if you had really been faking the whole time."
"Where is the twerp now, and who's with him?" I asked.
"Jake and Nessie are with him on the roof."
"The roof? Really?" I asked.
"We don't want the humans to see."
"Oh. Right." Duh. I still had a lot to learn about being a Cullen. Or Whitlock, I guess. Carlisle, Esme, Jasper, Rosalie and Bella were the Cullens. And Edward and Renesmee went by Mason. Jacob was still a Black.
The wind shifted. I caught a beautiful scent. "Jasper. Help." Was what I said before I started to run after it. I didn't get very far before Jasper had me in a headlock. I knew I shouldn't fight it, but I did. If I had any control left, I would have stopped fighting it. But I wasn't in control, so I kept trying—and failing—to fight him. Thankfully, another cross breeze blew the scent away and allowed me to clear my head. Now that I wasn't going crazy, I could see that the whole time I had been getting past flickers from touching Jasper. It was the strangest thing I'd ever seen. I think it happened before Alice and Jasper found the Cullens…
"Alice love, I don't know how you talked me into this." I was a bit annoyed.
"That's what you get when you call me short. I warned you." She came at me with a navy blue scarf.
"No! No way! At all! Ever!" I was already dressed like a fool. For calling her short, she had dressed me in scarves of all colors. And a pair of heels. Not to mention her tight blouse. I would rip them off and to shreds, but I didn't want to hurt Alice's feelings.
"Ok. Last thing. Pose!" She got an evil glint in her eyes. And a camera in her hands.
"Alice!" I groaned.
"Pose!"
"Fine." I posed in all my girlish gear. At least no one would see this. Alice took the picture. I kicked off the heels and threw all the scarves on the floor. At least Alice had let me wear my pants and not wear a skirt or anything like that. I got the blouse off in just a few seconds. Alice was now staring at my shirtless body. I pounced at her. She jumped out of the way just in time, giggling. I pounced at her again. I tackled her into the bed.
"Stop!" I screamed at Jasper. "Let go of me, I can't take it anymore!" He let go of me and I scrambled out of his reach, horrified. Edward was laughing at me. He sounded like a dying cow.
Jasper looked confused. "What just happened?" He suddenly understood. "What did you see?"
"Um," I wasn't sure where to start. "Blouse. Scarves. Heels. Bed. Camera. Scarring. Disturbing." He looked shocked.
"You. Saw. THAT!?"
I became very uncomfortable. "Um, sorry." I gave off a nervous laugh. "Uh, just, just remember, I can't control what I see." I stuttered out. If vampire's faces could turn purple, Jasper's would have been.
Alice began to giggle uncontrollably. "I remember that." She purred. "How much did you see?" She asked, turning to me.
"Um, you. Bed. Tackle."
"Ok, good. You didn't see the fun part."
"Whoa now." Emmett boomed. "What are you not telling me? I can guess what you saw, Jessie. But it sounds like there's more."
I shook my head. "No way am I repeating that."
"Edward?"
"I agree with Jessie." Edward said.
"Fine." Emmett grumbled. He then looked right at Edward. He was thought-talking to him. Emmett started smirking. Edward snarled then ran off somewhere.
"What was that about?" I asked.
"Well, you see," Emmett looked at me, "I was just thinking, what are Jake and Nessie doing now that they're alone with only an out-cold human. What do you think they're doing?" He smirked again.
"Ew. That's gross." I thought that all that love being made around me all the time was gross. Rosalie said it was because I was the only one not doing it. Once I found my man—vampire—I wouldn't think it was gross anymore. Probably true, but until then, it's gross.
"To you." Alice said to me she then giggled and looked at Jasper.
"Um, even more ew. Can I go back inside? Please? It is my first prom, you know."
"Sure," Alice said, "We all should."
"Ok. But no more giggling like that. Please."
"Whatever."
We all walked inside except for Bella. She went to keep Edward from hurting Jacob. I don't know why Edward had a problem with them doing that. He and Bella did it all the time. Ew, now that is a gross image I didn't want to implant in my brain.
Once we all got
inside Alice, Jasper, Emmett and Rosalie went to dance after I told
them I would be just fine on my own. I leaned against on of the walls
next to the dance floor. It had only been forty-five seconds from
when I started leaning when a boy walked over to me. He looked about
my age, well, sixteen. Maybe a bit older. His was about six foot
even. Five inches taller than me. He looked lean, but very well
built. He was kinda cute, for a human. He had beautiful blue eyes and
kinda tan skin. He looked at me and smiled—he had the cutest
dimples!—then ducked his head in shyness.
He stopped about a
foot away from me. I turned to look at him. He blushed and ducked his
head again.
When he recovered, he looked at me again. "Ma'am?" He asked. "Would you like to dance?"
A human asked me to
dance… "Sure." And I said yes. The human boy held out his hand.
I took it, this time prepared. As he led me to the floor, I saw his
life. He led a hard life.
He had no brothers or sisters. When he
was younger his dad would beat him and his mom. Then his dad left
when he was eight. His mom died last year. His apartment lease ended
two weeks ago, so he was checked into a hotel. And he only had it
until tomorrow. He was seventeen last week. He spent his last, small,
bit of money to pay for prom. He was alone. My unbeating heart went
out to him.
Once the song was over, he leaned over and kissed my hand. He didn't even seem to mind the coldness.
"Will you bless me with one more?" He asked.
"I'll bless you with as many as you wish." I answered. It was then that his life stopped flashing before my eyes. I smelled him. Oh, he smelled like heaven! It was earthy and like sunflowers. It was hard not to attack him then and there. But I didn't, thank goodness.
I noticed that Emmett and Rosalie had stepped out. To do what, I didn't want to know.
We danced three more dances before I said I needed to sit. I didn't, of course, but most normal humans would. He led me to a table. Then he went to get me a bottle of water. While he was gone, Edward slipped into the chair next to me.
"Dancing with a human boy? Take risks much?" I couldn't tell if he was joking or not.
"I'm sorry." I said, looking him in the eyes. "He asked me to dance and I couldn't refuse. Are you mad at me?" I hoped not.
"No, I'm not. Just be careful. Please." He slipped off just as quiet as he had slipped in. The boy returned with my water. I was trying to figure out a way to pretend to drink it. So I just kinda opened it up and played with it.
"What's your name?" He asked me.
"Jessie Whitlock. What's your?"
"Jessie, that's a nice name. My name is A.J. Ellis."
"What does A.J. stand for?"
"Alexander James. It's my first name. Or names, I should say."
"I like it." I was trying to find something good to say.
"Want to go for a walk? They have great gardens here."
"Um, sure." I couldn't believe I was going for a walk with a human in the dark. It felt so wrong. But, then again, so very right. Oh, great. Was I falling for a human? Edward did, and it turned out great. But what if I killed him? I couldn't live with myself if I did.
As we walked through the gardens, I thought I heard Emmett and Rosalie. I guess they went to the garden. A.J. led me to the middle of the garden. We were one hundred yards away from the school. And any other humans.
Then, something happened that twisted the wonderful night into a horrid terrible shape. The wind blew from the direction of the school. Towards Emmett and Rosalie.
Suddenly Emmett shoved me out of the way. And he lunged. Me and Rose both slammed him into the ground. But he hit both of us. Our strength was nothing compared to his. I slammed into the sidewalk, crushing it a foot lower. Rose knocked down three lampposts and shattered a stone seat to dust. I watched Emmett.
He sunk his teeth into Alexander's neck and began sucking his blood.
