Chapter 2
Cataleya's POV
When I got back home with Damien, I was not feeling well. We have been discussing how we will introduce ourselves to the Cullens. Damien gave me my elixir and I retreated to my bedroom. I let down my shield since I wasn't around the mind reader and keeping that thing up all day was also trying on my essence. Damien suggested that later we go train in the woods later tonight. So I decided to go to bed and he would wake me up at sundown. I have a dreamless sleep and woke up feeling groggy, ahh something isn't right, I never felt so drained. I also was noticing a nagging pain in my chest.
I change into a long sleeved shirt and yoga pants with gym shoes and pulled my long hair into a messy bun on top of my head for training and heard the doorbell ring. We have had several neighbors stop by to introduce themselves since we came and since the days are shorter here it was still early in the evening. I walk up to the door and look out the peephole and I'm taken back by who is on the other side. As I open the door my grogginess seems to disappear, so did that pain in my chest and I felt more energized.
"Jasper what are you doing here?"
"I got your message from Edward."
"Oh, yeah about that…"
I didn't get a chance to finish; he takes a step closer to me and places a hand on my cheek. "May I kiss you?" I just nodded my approval and he takes me into his arms and places a passionate but gentle kiss on my lips. I start feeling more energized and I deepen the kiss. My hands are instantly in his hair. I hear a low growl escape his chest. He pushes me up against the door pane. I place my hands on his arms and feel the hard muscles underneath his shirt. I know that vampires are supposed to be cold but he feels normal, almost warm to me. His tongue dances on my lips as I give him entry into my mouth. I hear another low growl escape from Jasper as he grabs my waist and pulls me close to him with his hand on the small of my back. I can't help but moan as I feel my body temperature rise to molten lava!
Then we hear a cough. Damien is standing in the hall with his arms crossed and a huge smile on his face. I'm at a loss for words as I stare at my curly blond god standing in front of me. His pale skin was chiseled by his muscles; he was tall and slender build.
"I um...thought I would see you at school tomorrow." I say as I straighten my shirt and try to regain my composure.
"I couldn't wait until then." Jasper says in almost a whisper.
I couldn't fight the pull that I seemed to have towards this man; it was as if my body needed to be near him. Then I feel embarrassed as I shake off my thoughts "I'm sorry where are my manners! Jasper this is my um…brother Damien, Damien this is Jasper. ""Nice to meet ya Jasper. " Damien still had that smirk on his face, oh dear he is going to never let me live this one down! "Nice to meet ya too." Jasper shook Damien's hand. "Well Jasper right now isn't a great time; Cataleya and I are about to go out for a bit," Damien said as I remember the training session that we agreed to earlier. I could think of so many things I would rather do now other than train with Damien.
He nods "ok, I was just seeing if you were ok, so I guess I'll see you tomorrow." He looks discourage but he smiles and gives me a chaste kiss on the lips. He then turns to walk away and I suddenly feel weak, weaker than before, my legs give out on me and I slump down to the floor in the doorway. Jasper is instantly beside me.
"Whoa darlin' you ok?" Jasper's eyes went from his golden hue to glistening black.
"No" I respond weakly he instantly swoops me up and carries me to the couch. Damien then appears with another dose of my elixir, at this time I feel myself about to lose consciousness.
Jasper's POV
I hold Leya's hand rubbing small circles on her hand. Damien just had to force feed her some liquid; it was dark like black coffee, but smelled herbal. I just couldn't place the herbs though. I'm more worried about the fact that she hasn't woken up and it's been thirty minutes. Damien has been pacing a muttering to himself. Suddenly, Leya eyes open. Her eyes are completely metallic gold and then they fade to her beautiful grey. She took a deep breath and sits up. She looks confused and bewildered. The bun on top of her head has started to unravel. She stares at me as if I'm a mirage.
"Hey, I thought you left?" She whispers. I kiss her on her forehead, "no, you collapsed and I brought you in and Damien had to force you to drink some herbal tea.
"OH! I had to take a double dose today?" She points this question to Damien who has stopped pacing and was leaning on the wall.
"Yeah, Cat you did, what's going on with you today? You seem to have been running on E since you came home from school."
"I dunno, I felt so tired and worn out until Jasper..." She stares at me again and jumps up and at a speed that even I haven't seen a vampire go, she disappears upstairs. We follow her and she is in a room that is lined with bookshelves. The shelves are filled with books that look older than Carlisle and jars and bags of everything. She is standing over a table flipping through a large book. Her red hair has fallen from its ponytail and is just flowing down to the small of her back. I couldn't help but take in this goddess of a woman in front of me. She had curves in the right places. Her top showed a bit of her stomach, there was a scare that showed, it wasn't big but it was deep. Her Caramel skin glowed under her hair. Before I can get a word out of my mouth, she turns and smiles. "It's you! I finally found you!" She runs and jumps into my arms and I can't help but to smile into her shoulder as I hold her close.
"Yes finally, so can we please go meet the rest of the family, now?" Damien said exasperated.
"Yes let me gather some things they are going to have tons of questions, right Jasper?" I stand astounded by the room I'm in; it's much too big to be a part of the house originally. There are no windows and there is a scent of herbs, old leather, and another strange scent but I can't figure out what it is.
"Jasper, I know it's a lot but I will let you and your family know all about me and Damien tonight. Damien grabs my book and let's go." Damien picks up the book and puts his hand on Cataleya's shoulder. Cataleya grabs my hand and I feel a gust of wind and before I know it we have made it to my house.
A/N: How do you think the family will react to meeting Cataleya and Damien? In the next chapter you will see what they can do and why Cataleya isn't a full vampire!
