A/N Guess what? I'm kind of back. First of all I need to say a huge thanks to my awesome friend who's encouraged me and helped to make this chapter better, as well as my pre-reader sinfulroad69 love you both. I have finally moved, but still have stuff to get from the old place and still am trying to get the new place organized, but right now the ground is covered in ice and we are stuck at the new place. This chapter is much shorter than I normally post but I wanted to get something out to all of my readers. This is just kind of a filler anyway. Hope you guys enjoy.
I do not own Twilight or any of the characters.
Jasper's POV
I can't believe that it's been a year since our sons were born and two years since the ladies came into our lives. If you would have told me that I would be the father of five wonderful kids before I had remarried my wife I would have thought you to be crazy.
I have done my best to instill my personal values or morals if you will, into my sons. With the ladies bein' older it was a challenge at times, but I wouldn't have done it any differently. My sons would understand that the most important thing in our family was to take care of each other and have respect for the weaker sex.
Of course my mate and my ladies would argue that point. They were not weak by any means. All four of them were formidable at being smart, able to take down any foe, and I knew that they could easily take care of themselves. Of that I made sure of.
The boys now looked to be about six or seven years old. The girls are, becomin' lil' ladies. They appeared to be about twelve or thirteen and were starting to mature the way females do. That's why I now refer to them as ladies. At least the two older ones were. Little Adara was a little behind and hadn't started to develop yet, but it wouldn't be long before she would join her sisters in becomin' a lady.
The boys had been taught to open doors for females as well as everything else that was important in my day as a human. When they spoke to their mother or any other female they always said, "yes ma'am or no ma'am." They were taught to be polite and use the terms please and thank you.
They were also becomin' more and more protective of their sisters and mother. They wouldn't even join Em and Peter at trying to pull a prank on them. They were girls and therefore they were off limits for pranks even though the girls still did their own pranks. Personally I think they just liked watching their uncles get bested by three young ladies.
Things got really interestin' when Donahue's gift showed itself. Actually its more like gifts as in plural. Yep my son is awesome and is provin' to live up to his name, dark warrior. We found out about one gift by accident and the other one was easier to know and understand.
Its a good thing that he's more like me, quiet, laid back, almost shy. He rarely speaks, but when he does it's with confidence and even authority. The easy gift was that he can sense a person's worst fear. Doesn't matter if its human or vampire. He can send that fear to the person and well just imagine if you are bein' faced with your worst fear magnified a hundred times or more.
The second gift like I said was found by accident. It was kind of embarrassing, for my mate anyway. We were just sittin' around talkin' and my wife was in one of her "take me to hunt and then fuck me moods," but before I could take her I was feelin' very lustful towards her.
Suddenly the whole room was feelin' the lust comin' from me. I was yelled at by Peter to "knock the projectin' shit off" and yet I know I wasn't projectin'. I have enough control of my gift not to do that.
Donahue didn't understand what I was feelin' just that I had a smile on my face and had wished that everyone could feel the way I apparently was. It wasn't until the second thing that happened that we figured out he had a second gift.
It was his uncle Edward that got the next clue. He usually had the ability to try not to focus on the thoughts he heard and it was usual that he could only hear one person at a time. He would focus on one person and would hear their thoughts mainly.
Not when Donahue's gift kicked in. First he could suddenly hear everyone's thoughts all at once and it was overwhelmin'. Then it was as if a loudspeaker had been placed inside of Edward's head and everyone could hear his thoughts.
It was similar but not exactly like Renee's ability to "use" the gift of another vampire to either use it to do something or use it against the vampire. He had no control over how he used it, although he could use it against the vampire.
Rhett on the other hand was just the opposite, he was loud and a prankster just like his uncles. He also had two gifts, but one wasn't actually anything special and it wasn't even a gift really. He just had the ability to talk, he had a way with words and could easily be a motivational speaker. He could talk anyone into anything just about.
His real gift though was just the opposite of his sister Avyanna. She could draw people to her, Rhett on the other hand could repel people not only from himself but others as well. The little stinker had actually used it on me when I was tryin' to get his momma to give me some of her "special alone time attention".
We weren't alone yet, but apparently he didn't want us to leave so he made me feel repulsed towards my wife. I couldn't believe that I wanted no part of even bein' around her at the time. Donahue had projected my gift and his momma caught on to what was really going on.
We had to sit down with him and explain that he was to never use it on any member of the family unless he was told to directly by me or his momma. We told him that some gifts just cannot be used except on those who are trying to hurt our family. Next time he would be punished.
The one fact about the boys is that they went out of their way to make sure that their sisters and momma were safe. Like I said they were extremely protective of them. I was so fuckin' proud of them and loved that they were wanting to make sure no one hurt them.
They were even more protective of lil' Adara. She was very small and I think that everyone felt more protective of her. She was so quiet and shy that it seemed to endear her to everyone she met. She still has a hard time with huntin'.
At least until the boys started goin' with us. They are both naturals at huntin' and so they usually take down a small cat like a lynx or a fox or like a couple of times a bear and then take it to her to feed from. They both have helped her to understand that she needs to feed. The animal is dead and she closes her eyes and then sinks her teeth into the neck. I still throw thirst her way to help make it easier for her.
When we trained with the kids now, we did it differently. The boys were still trainin' with their gifts. The girls had already been trained for the most part on controllin' their gifts. Now we would be trainin' them a different way.
They needed to know how to use their gifts in the midst of battle. There was a way that they could be distracted and therefore caught off guard. They needed to know how to fight and use their gifts at the same time.
My wife has taken to being a vampire with ease. Of course being raised around vampires probably had a lot to do with it. She was of course even more beautiful than ever and it took us a few months to finally get out of the bedroom for any longer than a few minutes.
We did spend time with our children, but it was so fucking hard on her as all she wanted to do was hunt and have sex. Its what our basic instincts drive us to do as newborns. Of course havin' the family around made it so much easier to have time alone and I'm so fuckin' grateful to them for everything, but now we had another problem.
We had planned on trying to wait another year before heading to Volterra and takin' down the monsters that were supposed to be the leaders of the vampire world. Unfortunately we started hearing things that were now happening in Italy and it made our venom run cold, or colder than it normally was.
Seems now the leaders had taken to experimentin' on humans. Some were cruel and beyond bein' acceptable even for vampires. Some of the humans had to watch as their loved ones were tortured and eventually killed. Some of the torture had nothing to do with experiments.
Mothers and fathers were forced to watch as their daughters were raped and beaten over and over again. The girls ranged in ages of four to eighteen. Yeah, the assholes were allowing the rape of very young girls by the sadistic guard members. We decided that we could no longer wait to stop these monsters.
So in a week's time we would be headin' to Volterra. Carlisle had arranged for two very large private planes to fly everyone over. At this point we had about forty-seven vampires ready to take down the Volturi scum.
We had the others that were still there in Volterra. In total we had about seventy vampires willin' to side with us to take them down. I could only hope it was enough. . .
A/N Please let me know what you think. For those who follow my other stories I will be working on Seattle Nights today and if I'm lucky I might have it done in time to post tomorrow. Not making any promises, its hard to get back into writing after being away so long. Next chapter we just might see some of the battle. Thanks to everyone who reviewed and added this story to their favorites and alerts, love you guys.
