Chapter 1: Background

Jasper's POV

"Shh, it's okay Bella." I did not know coming to Forks Washington would mean living under a near constant cloud of rain (Meyer, 3). Besides the rain, Forks is a lovely place to raise a family. The people in this small town are nice and friendly. Thank God for finding this diner when I did. Coming into town today, it started out beautiful and sunny, but by noon it was overcastted and raining. If I had not found this diner, then along with Bella, we would be stuck out in the rain. "Thank you ma'ma."

"Oh I'm sorry, it's rude of me to not to introduce myself, I'm Jasper Whitlock and this little bundle of joy is my baby sister Isabella Marie Whitlock. We are both vampires, but before you go freaking out, we are not monsters. We are not monsters. We are just like everyone else except with a few minor differences. If it makes you feel any better, we only drink the blood of animals. NO EXCEPTIONS!"

Flashback -

Our life story is that I used to have a regular loving and caring family in Texas. Then I enlisted onto the Confederate Army when I was only at the tender age of 16. A lot of kids did that then, faking their age so that they could stand up for what they believed was right. I quickly moved up the ranks within the Confederate Army, and by the age of 18, I was the youngest to ever hold the title of being a Major. That all changed one summer evening, and so did my life.

I was out doing a patrol run to see if there were and remaining people that weren't evacuated and get them to safety. I could hear bombs going off to the north of our town when I saw three beautiful women standing together. I approached them and dismounted my horse to introduce myself as a Major in the Confederate Army and that I was here to move them to safety. They turned around and the three of them were truly breathtaking. The woman in the middle leaned in to whisper in my ear that I was going to make a valuable asset. With that, in seconds I felt a burning sensation and realized that she had bitten me on the side of my neck.

The pain had finally eased and I was able to wake up. When I did waken, I knew that I was no longer human. I didn't want to face the reality of the situation that I was in. I couldn't come to terms calling myself a vampire, but that is what Maria made me into.

Her coven owned land all over the southern regions. There are wars amongst vampire covens for territory. Maria's coven had the most territory in the south. My job within the coven was to train the newborns how to fight using strategies. I was very important to the coven. Not to boost my ego or anything, but without me, the coven wouldn't have been as successful without me. After a year, the newborns wouldn't be as strong, so Maria would tell me to kill them after their first year of life. I did as I was told and became a monster. For a long time, I thought Maria and I were mates, but I later found out that she was using me. One evening I left Maria's room like I did every night. She didn't know of my plans of leaving her and her coven for good. By morning, I had returned home to the small town in Texas where I had grown up. The last time I was here, our town was under attack from the north. Now, it is completely redone and modernized. It was absolutely beautiful. After walking throughout the town, I finally came to my home, though what waited for me inside was another story.

When I knocked on the door, a woman had answered, but it didn't look like my mother. She was younger and more beautiful. Now don't get me wrong, my mother was young and beautiful, but that was a long time ago. She looked at me like I looked at her. Because I am a vampire, we have heightened senses. I could tell when I stepped foot into this town, that vampires have been here for some time. I also know that my parents are too vampires. After standing there in a crouching position for a minute or two, I knew that fighting both was not an option. My father was now standing in front of my mother, both also in a crouching position ready to strike, the only way that I can get out of this was to tell them who I was and who I was looking for. After telling them who I was, they both welcomed me back home.

The lifestyle that my family had was like any other humans. The only thing that I didn't care for was that they killed humans. I guess being an empath and feeling people's emotions helped with not hurting humans. Now I cannot say for sure that this is the reason why, but the only thing that I know is I cannot hurt them. So I can up with an alternative, which is to prey on animals and drink their blood. Before I enlisted into the Confederate Army, my parents were loving and caring. Now that I live with them, they are disgusting, selfish, and rude.

Bella was unexpected. Ever since I came back to live with my parents, they have had a great sex life. Disgusting, but it is true. You see vampires are forever young, and that means that their sexual hormones are also heightened. One day my mother fell ill and we didn't know why until she started to grow a stomach. Theory says that vampires are unable to have children because the reproductive organs are dead from the venom. I was intrigued as to find out how this was possible and if there were any more children that were born to both vampire parents. Over the next few months, my research on the topic came up cold and so I gave up. It was a lovely summer evening with the temperature being like 80 with a nice cool breeze going. I was out sitting on the back porch enjoying the weather and the scenery when all of the sudden I hear a blood curling scream and it was coming from the inside of the house. I got into the house and I quickly found the source of the screaming. It had come from my mother and she was now lying down with my father (if I could call him that) by her side. It took about eight hours and a lot of pushing (on my mother's part) for my little sister to be born. She was so beautiful, all seven pounds and eight ounces. Once I cleaned her up, I tried giving her to both my mother and father, but neither wanted her. That is how the first month went. My father and mother would both complain when she cried, needing something. She would sleep in my room and I supplied everything that Bella needed. My parents didn't want her even when she was pregnant. So when she turned a month old is when I packed up all of Bella's belongings a long with my own and headed north until I came across a sign that said "welcome to Forks."
