DEATHLESS

01

YEAR: 2005.

Daisy didn't know how much her life would change when she went to school with her siblings and her mate Jasper on January 18, 2005. She believed that the day would be just like any other day, it would pass without any accidents.

How wrong she was.

As soon as she and her family stepped a foot on the school's ground, they heard about the new student. From what Daisy had heard, the girl's name was Isabella —though she preferred Bella— and she was Charlie Swan's daughter, the chief of police. Daisy didn't care about the news of the new girl, just like her siblings didn't.

After having four classes without Jasper in any of them, you could say that Daisy was anxious to see him. Ever since 1918, after she turned into a vampire, there wasn't a day where Daisy wasn't with Jasper and vice versa. Back in the time where they were still part of Maria's army, Daisy and Jasper didn't spend nearly as much time together seeing that there was the fear —by Daisy's part— that Maria would find out and kill her. However, they did spend some quality time together when Jasper took her to feed as a reward after she won the fights in training.

Edward, having heard Daisy's thoughts, caressed her arm, trying to help her overcome the anxiety. It was something that he would always do seeing as he was the one who shared almost all of her classes with her. Edward, in all of his years as a vampire, had never seen someone of his kind with that kind of anxiety.

That was until he met Daisy and Jasper.

From what Carlisle had explained, and from what he had seen, Daisy and Jasper couldn't be many hours away from each other because of the Southern Vampire Wars. It seemed like the wars had traumatized them in a way that they would get distressed —hence the anxiety— about the other's safety. Yes, they could be away from each other, but it wasn't something that they liked, and it wasn't something pretty, too. Jasper gets reckless when he hasn't seen Daisy in a long time.

Hearing the sound of chatter coming cafeteria, Daisy started to walk faster —but not as fast as she wanted, or the humans would question it. Stepping into the long room, she couldn't but smile when her eyes found Jasper sitting at the usual table —the one where they always sat, far from the students— with their adoptive siblings and a vacant chair by his side.

Feeling the usual intense feeling of happiness and love from his mate, Jasper looked at her. Even though his face was hard and void of any emotion, Daisy always knew what Jasper was feeling; all she needed to do was look in his eyes. Topaz colored eyes that could make anyone —vampire or human— freeze in terror if he wanted, and that always softened when he looked at Daisy. Giving her a small yet loving smile, Jasper tilted his head towards the vacant chair next to him, calling her to sit. He didn't need to ask since Daisy always sat next to him, but Jasper was a good Southern gentleman; each time Jasper does something, from hunting to making love, he asks permission. It's one of the things that makes Daisy fall in love with him every day.

Daisy practically skipped in her family's direction, leaving Edward to walk slower behind her as she got close to the table. The cafeteria wasn't full of students yet, so it was easy for her to get to the table where her family was sitting. Giving her adoptive siblings a gentle smile, Daisy finally sat down —not that she got tired from walking from the classroom to here —vampires never get tired. Jasper moved his body so he could approach Daisy, greeting her with a gentle but firm kiss.

As more students began to get in the cafeteria, Jasper and Daisy started to get tense, at least more Jasper than Daisy. It was harder for them due to the fact that they spent decades in a place where all they ever did was fight and feed on humans; at least until Peter and Charlotte rescued them. Nevertheless to say that being a school was a constant fight for them, even more now since the last hunting trip they went was two weeks ago. So, it was pretty sure to say that, at that moment, both of them were the most dangerous ones sitting at the table.

If they weren't cursed enough with having to endure all the scents from the humans, a girl decided to stop at the end of the closest table to theirs. To their despair, she tossed her hair, running her fingers through it; and then the heaters blew her scent in their direction. What they felt next was something that they couldn't avoid: the dry ache in their throats, the excess of venom pooling in their mouths, the automatic tightening of their muscles signalizing that they were ready to pounce right onto the victim, the excess flow of venom in their mouths...

When her eyes landed on the girl, Daisy couldn't help but let her imagination run free, forgetting that Edward could read her mind and that he certainly would see what she wanted to do. First, she would take the girl —the one who tossed her hair. Daisy would have a few seconds, maybe a full minute, before anyone noticed, and then chaos would reign free. Jasper wouldn't let the others humans get away; he would feed on them without thinking. Their siblings would certainly help them; they couldn't leave the school without killing everyone that saw what happened. Daisy could see herself enjoying the havoc, especially will all the blood involved.

Bam.

There wasn't much pain from the kick that both Daisy and Jasper received from Edward, but it did help them snap out of their dangerous thoughts. Jasper met Edward's gaze for a minute then looked down while Daisy preferred to not look at her brother. She knew that he had seen the scene on her head, and she was ashamed of that; it was a moment of weakness, and Daisy was determined not to let it happen again.

"Sorry," Jasper muttered.

Daisy knew that Jasper got rather guilty and regretful when he has his moments of weakness.

"You two weren't going to do anything," Alice murmured to them, putting her hand on top of Daisy's, caressing it. "I could see that."
Her statement was enough to make Daisy a little calmer, but it wasn't sufficient to make her less tense.

"It helps a little if you think of them as people," Alice suggested, her high, musical voice too fast to any human to understand if they were dumb enough to be close to them. "Her name is Whitney. She has a baby sister she adores. Her mother invited Esme to that garden party, do you remember?"

"I know who she is," Jasper said curtly. He then turned to look out one of the small windows of the place.

Daisy sighed; she knew that by his tone that the conversation was over. She turned around so she could kiss him on the neck, one of his favorites places to be kissed though Daisy was the only one who could get close to that particular area; any other vampire would probably have their head ripped off.

Sending him waves of love to calm him down, Daisy didn't need to say the words for Jasper to know that she loved him with all her heart. Holding her hand and caressing the back of it, Jasper didn't need the words for her to know that he loved her as well and that he would always be grateful for her love for him.

Alice sighed quietly and stood, taking her tray with her as well. She knew when to stop her encouragement, at least with Jasper. She was the one who had introduced Daisy and Jasper to the Cullens and to their way of living —by being a 'vegetarian,'— and was the one who helped them the most back when they were still trying to regulate their bloodlust.

They would need to hunt tonight. It couldn't be pushed away anymore; they needed it. Daisy and Jasper were always the last ones to go hunting because they tried to test their strength, to build endurance against the blood. It didn't work, of course, but they still tried; even though that by doing that, they would be putting the humans —and their secret— at risk.

"Jessica Stanley is giving the new Swan girl all the dirty laundry on the Cullen clan," Edward murmured to Emmett, but the comment he made drew Daisy's attention from Jasper to him.

"Is she at least making it good?" Daisy gave her adoptive siblings a humorous smirk. "Is she talking about Jasper and me? Everybody knows how she loves gossiping about us,"

"Rather unimaginative, actually. Just the barest hint of scandal. Not an ounce of horror. I'm a little disappointed." Edward answered the first question. He then moved his eyes to Daisy's petite form. He shook his head, slightly. "She hasn't spoken about the two of you. Yet,"

Daisy gazed at the table where Jessica Stanley was sitting with her friends. She recognized everyone at the table, but one. Pale complexion, long and straight dark brown hair, and chocolate-brown eyes set in a heart-shaped face. That must be the new student, Isabella Swan. Bella.

Their eyes had met for a second before Bella dropped her eyes to the table, blushing like mad. Daisy looked away from her, tensing from seeing her blood rushing to her cheeks as she blushed, but she concentrated enough to listen to their conversation.

"They are… very nice-looking," Bella struggled to said.

"Yes!" Jessica agreed with a giggle. "They're all together though —Emmett and Rosalie, and Jasper and Daisy, I mean. And they live together."

Two years later and the fact that they dated and lived together was still a shock to the population of Forks. It was a small town, after all.

Daisy stopped listening after Jessica made her opinion public. Again.

Although Daisy was one of the calmest of their coven, she still gets infuriated when people, like Jessica Stanley and Lauren Mallory, talked about her family. The first time it happened, just after they moved to Forks, Daisy had to leave the school for the day because she wanted to use her gift on both girls because of the ways that they had spoken about her family, especially Jasper. She got reprimanded by Carlisle when she got home, but she couldn't stop that part of herself from being angered by people like them.

"Shall we?" Rosalie murmured.

"So, is the new one afraid of us yet?" Emmett asked, still waiting for Edward's response to his mental question.

Edward shrugged.

They got up from the table and left the cafeteria.
