Hello!(:
Next chapter! Yay! I have just come up with more drama so no worries this story will have more than five more chapters, maybe eight. If I'm lucky(;
I haven't gotten any reviews but I have gotten adds to favourites and followers so that's what's making this get posted. I'm feeling discouraged and questioning if any of you are bothering to read, don't like the story line or what not. I seriously have thought about keeping it here and waiting until someone sacrafices 30 seconds of their time to review, even anonymously. I really do wish to continue because my account on wattpad already has 13 chapters posted and is currently being commented alot. So if you wish to continue seeing more of this I ask you to please take the short amount of time to review. Thank you very much!
Who's Raphael? What will Jasper choose? What will happen to Alice, will she stay human? Well only one of those questions are answered below, but which one? O.o Hmmmm...
Alrighty, Spanish translations are at the end.
Don't forget to review! Thank you! Enjoy! :D
Disclaimer: I do not own The Twilight Saga. Wish I did. Unfortunately Stephenie Meyer was the genius that brought that energetic pixie and quite Texan major into this large world. I only brought uh the forgotten brother and the blonde nobody likes xD
Enjoy!
Chapter Ten
Alice's POV
Images assaulted my mind.
Part of me knew I was still asleep.
I saw a man. He had dirty blonde hair that was pulled back into a pony tail. He had blood-red eyes and strong defined features. Wait, was that Jasper? He had the same nose and eye shape, tall and lean too. The only difference would be the eye colour, hair length and slight height difference.
Who is he?
But as I was assessing the man, another image slipped into my mind. Memories. When I was human and vampire, my human family, my vampire family, my angel, my soulmate, and little insignificant details to my life, past and present.
I was shaken awake roughly.
"Despiértese mi patito feo," a voice hissed.
I groaned and opened my eyes lazily.
Ugh, I did not want to have to put up with her right now.
Maria smirked. "Get up! Let's get this show on the road!"
I blinked in the harsh light. Oh, I was outside.
"Corte chuleta, hurry up, you chica sin valor estúpida!"
I felt a sharp pain in my side and my mouth opened, letting out a sharp yelp.
"Up, now!"
I snapped my eyes open and shot up, wincing from the ache of my rib. Maria laughed and shoved a brown paper bag at me.
"Eat," she commanded.
I slowly opened the bag and took out a bruised apple, a can of ginger ale and a row of salted crackers. My stomach rumbled. I was starving. It took me all of 50 seconds to finish the apple to the core, the 12 crackers, and the flat ginger ale.
"Good job, now get up! We have work to do," Maria reminded me.
I stood unwillingly. My side felt like it was on fire, the pain throbbed along my ribs.
Despite my wincing, Maria pushed me forward and I stumbled into a pair of strong pale arms. I twisted my head to look up at the face of my capturer but something was put over my head, cutting off my sight.
Where are we going? This isn't good.
Jasper's POV
The scent was getting stronger. We had been traveling south for 40 minutes. I slowed as a crumbling stone church showed itself between the trees.
She was here.
"Wait," I cautioned, as my family slowed down behind me.
I smelt others. Jamie and… NO! I snarled and slammed my fist into a tree trunk, snapping it.
"There's another trail leading west," Edward called.
I whirled and shot after him. The other's followed.
"We'll get her back Jasper," Carlisle promised me.
I didn't say anything. Maria had Alice, you can't be sure of anything.
We ran for another 30 minutes until a figure appeared between the vegetation.
Jamie.
I saw red. She's a dead girl.
"Jasper, she wants to speak," Edward explained.
I restrained myself, barely.
"She asks for Jasper to come only. No one else or the midget gets hurt," Jamie warned. "Come now."
Keep the others here and don't listen in. I'll be fine, I told Edward through my thoughts.
I followed Jamie deeper into the trees. We walked for another 15 minutes until we turned the corner of a large pine tree and saw them. In the shadows stood three figures, a tall masculine figure, Maria and a tiny shaking female who I recognized as my wife.
I let out a quiet growl when Maria roughly grabbed Alice by the hair and lifted her off of the ground. Alice winced and grabbed at her side.
"Hello Major," Maria purred and stepped forward, still clutching Alice's hair.
"What do you want Maria?" I hissed.
"I want to negotiate her release for your rejoining."
"What are the options and consequences?" I asked, crossing my arms over my chest.
"You join my army again, help me gain back Monterrey, maybe a couple of your nights here and there." Maria shrugged and smirked. "If you agree, she goes back to her "family", safe and sound. If you disagree then I'll gladly drain her while you stand there paralyzed, your choice."
"No! Jasper, she's bluffing! She's nothing more than a greedy whore. Don't listen to her, please," Alice pleaded, catching my gaze.
Maria growled and back handed her across her cheek. Alice's head snapped to the side and she fell to the ground.
I snarled and dashed forward, ready to kill.
But I never made it. The male figure darted out and grabbed me by the arm, yanking me backward while this weird feeling crept up my arm. I was knelt on my knees, my wrist locked behind my back.
"I'll give you another chance," Maria offered.
I looked up at her. "Go to hell."
The figure holding my arms yanked my head back so I was forced to look up. Then I saw his face.
It can't be.
"Raphael?" I asked.
My brother.
Jamie's POV
This isn't right, my mind kept screaming at me.
"Raphael?" I heard Jasper ask.
He knew the mystery guy? I still haven't seen his face, only the back of his head.
"Isn't it a shock?" Maria spoke up.
"How is this possible? You're supposed to be dead, they said you died in the war, this isn't possible," Jasper muttered.
Maria laughed. "They said the same thing about you, Jasper. Why can't it be true for all of your family?"
What? Family?
Raphael's head was moving up and down between Maria and Jasper. His back was to me and I could see Maria's smug look and Alice's confused expression.
"I found him wandering around Texas, already changed. I believe he faintly remembered home but couldn't remember any of his human life. He's been a nice replacement but I miss the real one," Maria whispered and walked towards Jasper with a seductive smile on her face.
"What's going on?" Alice asked, still holding her red cheek.
"This is my brother, Raphael." Jasper answered.
Raphael's back went rigid. "Jasper?" he asked in a voice, which was deep and soft like Jasper's.
"It's been a while, hasn't it?"
Raphael let go of Jasper and stumbled back a bit. "I remember."
Maria flicked her gaze cautiously between Jasper and Raphael.
"I remember Ma and Pa and Ginny. I remember goin' to war and sayin' goodbye to my seven year old brother and two year old sister. I remember the gunfire and the explosions. I remember it." Raphael took another step back, looking down.
Jasper was on his feet and facing his brother.
"Why didn't you tell me you had a brother?" Alice questioned, her gaze centered on Jasper.
"Because I forgot, I was so young when he left. They said he died the day of my ninth birthday." Jasper's eyes didn't leave Raphael's face.
"I didn't though. I was changed by some random vampire," Raphael explained.
"I've missed you, brother," Jasper whispered and hugged Raphael.
"Me too, Jazz, me too."
At that exact moment everything seemed to slow down.
Maria snarled and whirled reaching for Alice.
Jasper tensed and twisted out of his brother's arms.
I gasped and Raphael growled.
Maria's teeth sunk into Alice's neck and a soft whimper sounded.
Then silence.
I have 3 other chapters typed out so if any of you wish to find out what happens next... well you know what to do.
