I am soooo sorry for the long update. I know that it's a terrible excuse but every time I get home from school I am just so damn tired. But today I got some fresh air to properly wake me up so I can show you guys the next chapter.
Also, I think I should start noting down the ages of the characters because I find them very helpful.
Esme: 33 Carlisle: 31 Rosalie: 18 Edward: 17 Emmett: 17 Jasper: 16 Alice: 14
Disclaimer: I don't own twilight. If I did, I would kill Bella whereas Jasper would be the main character. (I apologise for the Bella fans but I really hate her).
Alice's POV
It was about 3 in the morning and I was woken up by what appeared to be the sound of a wolf howling in the moonlight. We did get the occasional wolf howl in the middle of the night since we were in the middle of a forest but this one sounded awfully close.
I got out of my bed to investigate as I rubbed my eyes to force them to wake up. I opened my bedroom door quietly and the howling got louder. It was definitely somewhere in the house and it actually only sounded a few doors away. I walked closer to where the noise was coming from and of course it was leading me to the room that Jasper was sleeping in; or was supposed to be sleeping.
I wasn't sure if it was just a coincidence or if he could actually sense me but the closer I got, the quieter he got until they eventually turned into whimpers as he scratched at the door. It was strange how he couldn't figure out how to open the door but at least I was here now to help him.
I quietly opened the door; not wanting mom or dad to wake up otherwise they'll make him stay in his room; perhaps if I give him what he wanted, he would begin to like me again. It was sad how he had been close by Rosalie's side since he noticed her. I knew that they were siblings but it still upset me to see him treat me like he hardly knew me.
The second the door had opened, Jasper had suddenly rubbed his head against my shoulder, neck and then my cheek. He then began to make some strange noise which sounded very similar to a cats purr. How he managed to make that sound, I had no idea but at least that meant he was happy with me.
I noticed that he was topless yet again. I doubt dad would be too happy about that but we had to be patient with him.
"Come on, Jazz" I whispered.
I walked back to my room while he cautiously followed. I think it was kind of cute how he seemed to look in every direction before moving a single step before doing the same action. He was a wary one, wasn't he?
Once I opened my bedroom door again, Jasper bolted into my room and jumped onto the bed as he curled up like a cat would. I had to smile at that. It was just so adorable. As I walked towards to bed, Jasper's head suddenly lifted up to meet my gaze but didn't move. A small growl formed in his throat before he jumped off and went underneath it. I rolled my eyes as I got back into my bed before turning off my lamp. It was about another few minutes before I began to hear him pant. Why was he doing that? Dogs do it as a method to cool down but that doesn't work on humans. Besides, it wasn't even hot in here. Because the house was so quite at this time of night, the panting seemed so loud that it was actually rather annoying.
"Jazz" I complained.
He stopped almost immediately but he then jumped back onto my bed as he began to whimper, rubbing his forehead into my neck again.
"What do you want, Jazz?" I questioned.
He tilted his head like he usually does when somebody speaks to him but this time he really focused on my eyes. He just kind of stared into them. One of his hands was leaning on the left side of me whereas the rest of his body was on the right side but despite that, it felt like I was underneath him. His face was getting closer to mine which made me very unsure about what he was doing. I just waited for the moment to pass but then things began to get weirder. His leg then moved to my left side so he was literally above me.
I began to feel a little nervous at the awkward position but I doubt that Jasper was realising what he was doing. He broke my gaze and hid his face in my neck once again, whimpering a little more before his head shot up as he stared at the door, growling but the position remained.
He continued to stare at the closed exit for what seemed like a good five minutes but it was only when I shifted my body a little when Jasper suddenly freaked out and jumped off my bed and ran round my room like a complete lunatic. What the hell was he doing? He jumped up on the window sill and began to bang his head on it and then ran to the other side of the room to the door as he smashed his head against that. He went in the repetitive circle but I was surprised that nobody had walked in yet to figure out what the noise was. He was clearly desperate for a way out. He didn't want to be in here.
"Shhh, Jazz calm down" I whispered as I walked towards the door.
"Shhhh" he replied before licking his lips and scratching at the door.
His nails could definitely do with a trim. Well at least they weren't strong enough to mark the doors when he begged his way out. Maybe he just didn't like being locked in a room unless he was with Rose. I yawned, realising that it was now 3:30 and I still had a many hours to sleep. I hope we didn't have to put up with this every night.
As soon as I opened the door, he bolted out and darted down the stairs without a further sound. With a sigh, I returned to my bed to catch up on some of my sleep, leaving the rest of the family to discover whatever mess Jasper decides to make in the next couple of hours.
Carlisle's POV
"Oh you gotta be fucking kidding me!" Emmett's voice yelled from the kitchen as I make my way down the stairs.
"Language, Emmett" I warned him.
I walked into the kitchen to explore the reason of why Emmett was complaining. My son rarely complains because he is naturally a really happy guy so I wasn't looking forward to what I was about to see.
When I had first woken up, I went to check on Jasper but his door was open. Maybe he had finally figured out how to open it. Anyway, this was evidence that Jasper was involved with whatever damage I was about to discover.
My eyes widened as I noticed that all the food cupboards had pretty much been emptied and scattered all over the floor. I heard Jasper before I saw him. He was in the corner baring his teeth at me with a low growl. He had a box of cheerio's in his hand while his other hand was digging in for another handful. He still glared as he opened his mouth to eat what was in his other hand.
I wasn't surprised when I realised that he wasn't wearing a shirt. How many attempts will it take for him to keep one on throughout the whole day?
I crouched down to his level and moved a little closer to him but he noticed this and threw the cereal box half way across the room to let me know he felt threatened.
"Shhh. It's alright Jasper. Shhhh"
"Shhhh" he said before running past me and grabbed a few rich tea biscuit that were also all over the kitchen tiles.
He jumped up onto the sides as he watched me cautiously but he stopped growling. In fact, he kept up with the 'shhh' before he took another bite of the biscuit. I heard a burst of laughter as Rosalie joined me in the kitchen. As soon as Jasper spotted her, he dropped the biscuits and rushed to her side doing his usual gesture of rubbing his head against her shoulder. The more he did that, the more curious I got of what it actually meant.
"Well, at least I know he had his breakfast" I sighed as I began to clear up.
It did seem that he pretty much intended to trash the kitchen and if he hadn't eaten in front of me, I wouldn't have been convinced that he had eaten at all because the majority of the food that was supposed to be in the cupboards were all over the floor.
Jasper's ears twitched and looked up at the ceiling as if he could see through walls. Rose and I watched him curiously but it wasn't long until he escaped her side and ran back up the stairs.
"Jasper?" Rose called.
I had a bad feeling about the way he had just run off; especially being at Rosalie's side. Something had attracted his attention. I headed up the stairs to see what he was up to when I suddenly noticed Edward standing as still as possible with so much fear in his eyes as he stared at the crouching and snarling boy in front of him.
Edward had been brushing his teeth but obviously when he had noticed Jasper, it had froze him with the tap still running. Of course.
"Edward, stand to the side. As near as the wall as you can" I spoke quietly.
Jasper didn't even respond to the sound of my voice. His eyes were glued to the water that was falling from the tap. Edward does what I say which satisfied the feral child as he rushed to the sink and held his hand underneath the water before he lowered his lips to his wet palm and began to drink. His eyes didn't leave Edward just like Edward's didn't leave his.
After noticing the amount of water he was consuming, I realised that I hadn't given him anything to drink the day before. He had probably drunk some of the bath water although the soap would have made the taste a little disgusting. But then again, Jasper has lived in the wild for most of his life so it didn't matter how disgusting the water was, as long as it kept him hydrated.
Once he had enough to drink, he began to hold his head under the tap; getting his hair wet. After giving his head a bit of a shake; flicking water everywhere, he ran straight past me and let himself into Alice's room by pushing his head against the door since it wasn't fully closed.
"Dad, I...I don't think I can handle that. He freaks me out" Edward admitted.
I understand Edward's view on Jasper, especially because none of us are used to seeing such behaviour. To me, Jasper was incredibly unusual but to be honest, I thought it was amazing about the way he acted. He seemed to have adapted to a life of an animal; or several different animals for that matter.
"You'll get use to it. Besides, we'll teach him how to act..." I stopped, trying to think of a suitable word.
"Normal?" Edward finished.
It sounded harsh but true. Jasper couldn't grow up making animal noises while thinking that biting was the right thing to do. His eating habits would also need to be worked on but thankfully there are methods for that. I just hope that they would work. I nodded in reply to his questioned answer.
"Go get yourself something to eat but excuse the mess in the kitchen" I warned him before heading towards Alice's room.
I didn't want him to be causing her any trouble. I went into her bedroom to find Alice still sleeping in her bed. Jasper was lying with her but his chin was lying on her stomach as his eyes were watching mine. It wasn't a cautious watch or a glare, it was more of a 'I'm relaxing, don't disturb me' look.
I wasn't sure whether I should leave him be because of how calm he appeared or if I should call him out of there because I wasn't too keen on the way he was with Alice. Jasper's eyes then began to close which may have meant he was awake a lot longer than I first thought.
With a sigh, I turned around and left the room but I kept the door open to keep an eye on him.
Sorry for any mistakes. I have a feeling that there were quite a few.
Hopefully the next update will be quicker.
Also, I'm going to warn you that in a couple of chapters I am going to be evil to Jasper. Let's just say he still has so much to explore...even the dangerous stuff.
PLEASE REVIEW GUYS!
