OK, this is a REALLY long chapter, but its worth reading. Promise!
The night was gray. Clouds swarmed the atmosphere, concealing the luminous feature of the moon. I walked onto land, drenched from top to bottom in ocean water. After I was done wringing the heavy amount of water in my hair, I inspected the land.
Tall, multitudes of trees stood among me. The soil around me was rich in a chocolate color aspect. Mountains rose in a perspective of abnormality. Or was it just me? This place was so much different from Italy-I studied more of of the wilderness-and most of Europe. (And definitely, Texas) I wasn't used to it. This was another world compared to Europe. (I guess the humans weren't kidding when they said this was the New World. )
That's when the sound a growl echoed.
I froze, immediately searching for the source of the noise. I glanced among the multitude of trees, and found the direction of the sound to come from the side. I waited, listening intently to the animal approaching. Eww, the horrible smell entered my system. My instincts reacted, instantly, to the scent. I braced myself, waiting for the animal to show itself.
Then, there it was. It came exactly where my instincts told me it would be. The beasts was a giant. It was twice the size of a bear, but had features similar to a wolf. Brown shaggy hair coated the animal. Its eyes glared dangerously upon me, probably threatening me to leave its land.
It continued growling, this time showing its teeth.
I sneered. I wasn't a coward, and though it wanted me to go back from where I came I stayed where I was, ready to fight. I didn't care if it was a werewolf! The thing was made to kill me! And, though it did have the ability to do so I had a slick advantage.
All of sudden, two more werewolves appeared out of the woods, moving up to the one werewolfs' flank. They weren't nearly as big as the first one, which made me stick closer to the brown wolf for when we would fight. It didn't concern me that they outnumbered me by two. I still depended on my advantage.
Being playful, I sneered again at them, then moved a step forward closer to the woods. It was clear this was their land and they wanted me to crawl right back into the water and leave. But, that wasn't going to that. And for that, someone was going to die.
The bigger werewolf attacked me first, heading for me straight-on. Remaining calm, I extracted all my muscles. Then, not looking at the animal, I closed my eyes. . .
It was a beautiful night. The wind blew a brisk breeze, the slim trees swayed gently. The air was magnificent; so clean so fresh.
I took her small pale hand beside me. She smiled at me, the same bright smile I fell in love with. We stood on the porch behind the house. It was midnight, of course.
My brother and sister were also on the porch, besides them we were alone. I barely payed attention to Edward and Bella, but had noticed them earlier sitting together in an outside chair, staying as quiet as Alice and I. The others of my family were probably inside watching tv or something other to occupy themselves. It was at times like this I wished I could sleep like most other mortals.
Suddenly, Alice's hand went stiff.
"Alice?" I said, turning to her concerned. "What is it?" She was having a vision.
After a moment of silence, she reopened her eyes, looking at me sadly. "I don't know," she answered. "It's all blurry." She set her gaze off to the side, where we began to hear the incessant howling of the wolves. . .
It didn't take long for Edward to appear by our side. His face was engraved into a frown. But he wasn't looking at us, instead he looked out over the forest.
He turned to us. "They need help," he said tersely. His tone of voice was serious.
"The werewolves?" Bella asking unsure and confused.
He nodded. "Yes. Now."
"Why?" I asked. "What's happening?"
He didn't look at me. "Get Carlisle, Jasper. We need him. Alice, Bella, you come with me." He gripped the rail of the balcony, about to spring over. "It's important," he told me. Then, in a flash he jumped over the ten foot balcony porch and onto the ground easily. Bella was second to proceed, leaving me both Alice and me even more confused. Just a minute ago everything was simple and easygoing. Now, it seemed, we had a whole situation on our hands.
"Alice?" I asked, hoping she saw something in her vision.
She looked at me, then at the floor below. "I have to go, Jazz. Edward's right, something is wrong."
I flexed my jaw. "Okay," I said, reassuringly. "But be careful."
"Of course," she told me with a small smile. "And you two."
We stared into each others eyes until she was first to break it. She went over the rail, and followed Edward and Bella out into the woods.
In only a matter of minutes, I had the rest of our family following me in the direction that Edward, Bella, and Alice had howling of the wolves was still continuing. It almost sounded kind of sad-the howling-as if something had gone terribly wrong.
"Are you sure Edward didn't say anything?" Carlisle asked, beside me.
I shook my head, slightly irritated. "No, he just told me to get you."
He nodded. "I see. . ." he was quiet.
"What is it?" Perhaps, he had an idea of what was going on.
His voice was somber. "Remember the night when we were allied with the werewolves, against the newborns?"
I nodded.
"Well," he said. "when one of the werewolves was badly injured from a newborn, there was howling as sorrowful as this very one at the moment-"
I didn't need to say anything else, already knowing what he meant by. Now I knew why there was such melancholy in the air.
Suddenly, we could all hear the violent noise ahead. My instincts immediately responded to the noise, running as fast as I could toward the noise. All I could think of, was my family, but most importantly Alice. I couldn't her picture in this fight, her small self fending off whatever it was that was against us. It nearly killed me the first time she was in a fight like this.
I stopped in perfect perspective of what was going on. My family must have followed me at the same speed, as well, because they were right there beside me taking in all that was happening.
The first thing I saw was my two siblings and my love, Alice, there in good condition. Then, I noticed two large dogs in the field, as well. Something got me wondering if this problem had something to do with the werewolves. They were our allies, no longer our enemies. If so, than why were they fighting against us?
I watched as Bella snarled at something in front of her. But when I glanced to see what it was, it was nothing. Did it disappear? She whirled around, fury in her eyes searching for whatever it was. I turned to Alice who was nowhere to be found. I felt sick inside at her disappearance. She was there just a second ago. . .Suddenly, out of nowhere, two beings appeared attached together. One of them I caught being Alice. The second was smaller, but I didn't get a good view of who it was. Then instantly, I watched at the two struggled against each other. Then, very instantly, the small figure shoved Alice back. The force was strong, as she fell back several feet.
I didn't think twice. I went after Alice making sure she was alright. (And, if she could give me some better detail to what we were dealing with)
"Alice!" I hollered, about to kneel by her side when she immediately got back up.
She glanced at me. "You're here!" she cheered, not happily, but relieved.
"You have to stop her!" she then mentioned, answering my unsaid question.
"Who is she?" I asked, turning back over to the field, looking out for the unknown person.
"We're doing everything we can," she said. "But, she's too strong. Even against us, we're unable to get a hold of her."
"Its just one?" I asked in disbelief. It was hard to imagine just one person powerful enough to take us all on.
"Yes, one!"
"A vampire?"
"Of course!"
I studied the field where everyone was fighting. The werewolves were fighting it; two tried to take it on, ramming straight for it each time. But each time, they were too late, as its once self had disappeared. One werewolf ran toward it. It looked like it knew exactly where this vampire was, heading straight for it. I looked further ahead, seeing a small figure, but also a giant boulder right behind it. Just when the werewolf was within very few short inches of the figure, it suddenly disappeared, and the werewolf rammed itself into the boulder.
I would've gotten myself in the middle of the fight, but I couldn't seem to find myself in the right position to fight this thing. It seemed like you had to wait for it to appear near you, instead of the other way around.
Finally, after maybe only five minutes, I found the werewolves were all distraught. I could tell the vampire had exhausted them with all their tricks. The Cullen's were grouped together trying to remain united.
I noticed Edward on the other side of the field. He was walking swiftly back and forth, staring at something. I moved nearer, trying to get a better view. And then, I saw her. She was just a girl. Just a young girl of maybe thirteen or so. Her blond hair glowed yellow in the dark, lengthening down below shoulder reaching her waist. She was just a girl. . .
"Why are you here?" he questioned her coldly. This duel, I hoped, was going to end our way. Edward had the ability of reading minds. This wouldn't last long, I thought.
I moved near more of my family, watching the the two walk slowly around in a circle. The small girl sneered at Edward, appearing eager, and all the while evil. In a way, she almost reminded me of Jane.
"Why do you want me?" Edward growled.
Suddenly, the girl stopped short, a shocked expression shaping her young face. Clearly, Edward's ability had surprised her. Pulling herself back together, she made a frown and shot a glare in his direction. "So you are talented," she said in a crystal-clear tone of voice, almost too mature to belong to her.
"What do you want with us?!" Edward snarled viciously, baring his arms, prepared to fight.
She made an irritated expression. "What do you think?" And just like that, she disappeared again.
Edward snarled, at her leave. But, she appeared again gone no longer than a second. She was right behind Edward, then behind him, then in front of him. Each time he was too late to acknowledge her presence, and each time she was somewhere near him hitting or striking him with her knees and elbows.
He didn't complain, but tried each time to fend off her offense.
She must have gotten bored with him because she moved on after Emmett, who was beside me. She appeared right in front of him, trusting her fist straight up striking him right under his chin. Dazed, he fell back, and the girl had immediately disappeared again, only to continue striking him like some kind of serpent.
Then, just at that second I realized my opportunity. She was right there, no more than a few feet away.
Then, I went in after her. Her back was to me, so that gave me a a good chance of surprising her. But just when I was right about to touch her, she was gone. Instantly, I felt a hundred punches hitting me from all different directions at the same time. It hurt, but not severely. She must have pushed me because I was on the ground. I caught a glimpse of her in front of me, then to the left, and then to the right. She was going from one spot to another using her ability. She was moving closer to me, each time she disappeared then reappeared again. I got back up as quick as I could, so that she wouldn't tackle me any further. But, that didn't seem to be much of a concern when she suddenly. . .Stopped.
She stopped using her ability and stood there, staring up at me with wide eyes. It was quiet, all that moved was the wind and her golden colored hair as it swayed over to the side. Her coal black eyes were fixed on me the entire time of the moment. Her pale face blank. If there was just one second where she would be caught off guard, now was the time.
"Jasper?" My eyes widened, shocked, by the sound of my name being called by her. If that wasn't enough, her voice was. . .gentle. "Jasper Whitlock?"
Fortunately, Emmett took the chance of attacking her. He got her in his grasp. But, only for a matter of seconds. Closing, her eyes, she instantly disappeared yet again, Emmett attached.
I snapped out of my brief shock and confusion once they disappeared. I looked around hoping to find them not far off.
Pttttp, and just like that Emmett was face-down on the ground, from which he had fallen quiet away's down.
The vampire was no where to be found.
Like i said, long. But, hopefully you liked it. I'll try updating soon and if I can't I hope to see at least a few reviews on the chapter.
Sneak Peak:
"Jasper?" I asked, my voice trembling.
He looked at me, his fresh golden eyes solid. "Yes?" I could hear the unsureness in his voice.
It had to be him! It had to be! His face, his voice. "Is it really you?"
