Chapter 12
Fusedtwilight: So first off HAPPY NEW YEAR!!!!!!!
Embry P.O.V
I ran as fast as I could. One of the benefits of being a wolf is our near infinite stamina, we are hard to tire when in this form. I didn't stop, I didn't slow. I had to get to Sara as soon as possible. I felt the minds of the other members of my pack, I heard there thoughts. They tried to hide there doubts but it was all there to see, some were supportive of my decision, others believed it was a result of her power calling me all the way from Alaska. I quickly let them know my thoughts on that.
"Listen all of you I’m going to Alaska to help her because she's in danger. And the next time anyone of you start talking about me or her to anyone else I swear I’ll beat you myself" I threatened.
"Embry" Jake called through the wolf minds, "Me, Quill, and Leah are on our way. As soon as Leah and Quill take care of a few things we'll be right there."
"I meet you there Jake, I have to be there for her."
"Why?"
"What?"
"Why are you so protective of her Embry? You barely know her and she's a vampire. Why are you so compelled to protect her?" he asked.
I wondered why Jake was asking this now. He was always supportive of us and there was kind of a crowed. But I knew why I had to protect her, it wasn't because of some freaky power or guilt over failing to protect her.
"I love her" I answered simply.
I opened up my mind so everyone and anyone listening could hear and feel my feelings for her. In that moment all in there wolf form could sense my love for this girl. I felt Jakes approval of my answer and me showing everyone my true feelings to the rest of the pack.
"You all hear that?" Jake asked the others, "Let there be no more talk of him being possessed or under anyone's thrall, it is love that compels these two not obsession." he told the rest of the pack.
I felt them all as they accepted the act I wanted Sara because I loved her not because I was obsessed.
"We'll be there soon, don't get into trouble ok?" Jake said.
He phased back into human. The others decided they needed to do something that required them being human and one by one they all turned human. I was alone now. No thoughts but my own. I enjoyed the peace and quite. The isolation that was so rare for one of us to find, it was a blessing. But I had no time to enjoy it, I continued my relentless run. My destination: Denali, Alaska. To Sara.
Sara P.O.V
We decided to take a break from training while Carlisle, Eleazar, Jasper, Alice, and Edward discussed what to do for the upcoming battle. While they did that Esme, Carmen, and Tanya began fixing the wall.
Emmett, Rose, Garrett, and Kate were watching TV; I was trying to get the girls to let me help them.
"Please let me help, it's my fault it broke." I said as they picked up the debris.
"It's fine, it's just a wall." Tanya said with a smile.
"But I should at least help…" I said.
"It's fine, we should have done this outside anyway." Carmen said.
"If you want to help go watch TV, get to know Kate and Garrett. They’re a lot like Rose and Emmett." Esme said with a smile.
I sighed and went to sit between the two couples. Truth be told I wanted to help the girls because I didn't want to sit with the happy couples. It was weird but it was like there was this weird tension in the air. They all looked happy enough. Garrett and Kate were holding hands and Rose was patting Emmett’s head while he rested it on her lap.
The scene itself looked innocent but this pressure weighing down on my chest.
"Pretty annoying huh?" a voice said in my ear.
I jumped a little, it was Jasper.
Emmett let out a little laugh but for him it seemed to have an echo. Rose playfully slapped him on the top of his head and grinned at me and I smiled in thanks.
"You’re sensing their lust" Jasper said getting my attention
I thought I must of misheard him.
"Lu-Lust?" I stuttered.
He smiled a mischievous smile.
"That tension you feel in the air, I feel it too." he said.
"How can I feel it?" I asked.
"Well since you can manipulate Desires, it would make sense you could sense desire as well" he explained "The stronger the desire the easier you can sense it. The same thing happens with me and emotions, the stronger they are the easier I can feel them".
"So how do you handle it?" I asked. If this was as much lust they put out being tame I don't want to know what it's like when they really let loose.
"It's not easy, but I think of the emotions as being a different kind of smell. I try and ignore the smells and focus on the hear and now, but sometimes the smells get overwhelming"
"What do you do then?"
"I make it so the smells aren’t so bad"
"You manipulate them to feel something different"
"Yes, not all the time but when I find myself unable to deal with all the feelings. I make them all smell alike so there aren’t so many smells distracting me".
"So could I make them not so...intense?" I asked.
"Sure with enough practice, you could make them desire each other more or less" he said.
"Please no one could make me desire my Rose less" Emmett said smiling at Rose.
"I agree" Garrett said pecking Kate on the cheek "Kate is the only one who can make me want her more."
"I think you mean love" Kate said grabbing him by the chin.
The air was becoming thick with the feel of desire, I felt like a peeping tom. Even though there was nothing inappropriate going on.
"Make you a deal Jasper" Emmett said grinning "If you can get her to make me not want Rose I’ll give you my car".
"I'll give you my Harley" Garrett said sweetening the deal.
I felt a pulse that came from Jasper. I felt he was more interested in the Harley then he was in Emmett’s car .
"And if I lose?" he asked.
"Then I get your motorcycle" Garrett said. I felt a similar pulse from him, apparently him and Jasper had a similar guilty pleasure.
I felt a pair of arms wrap around my waist, I turned and saw it was Alice with her usual smile.
"This is going to be good" she said.
"Who wins?" I asked.
"Don't know, it's all up to you, you have to decide weather you want to do this or not" she said.
"Come on Sara" Emmett begged "It will be good practice"
"I don’t want to make you do something you don’t want to" I said.
"What’s wrong scared" he teased.
"What’s in it for Sara?" I asked smirking at him, accepting his challenge.
"That’s my girl" Rose said approvingly.
"Give me 24 hours to train her and then kiss your rides goodbye" Jasper said.
I could sense from his desire he was hell-bent on wining that Harley.
"Alice, Tanya, come with me. You to Sara" he said.
"Where are we going?" I asked.
"To start your training" he said.
Jasper P.O.V
We ran into the mountains. Me, Tanya, Alice, and Sara. Once we were a far enough distance from the house I stopped and the others followed.
"This is so weird" Sara said looking at her legs in amazement, "I mean few minutes ago we were there and now were miles and miles away, this is so amazing" she said laughing.
"Ah newborns so full of thrill and exhilaration, when they’re not trying to tear your throat out" Tanya said. "Why is she so calm? I mean besides her little episode she seems so normal".
"Should I be different?" I asked confused.
"Newborn vampires are very wild, and damn near uncontrollable" I explained "They have trouble controlling there new instincts and blood lust, it can take years to gain full control."
"So why am I so...nice?" she asked.
"When we are turned it's not just our physical characteristics that are enhanced, but our characteristics as well" Tanya explained, "Jasper was very charismatic as a human and that was turned into his empathy."
"Rose was the most beautiful woman of her hometown, due to her upbringing she was very....tenacious, and that was enhanced making her more headstrong and iron willed" I said.
"Iron willed?"
"She is extremely confident, to a fault" I said.
"And sense you were so shy and well mannered as a human that was enhanced were it gives you a measure of control. Basically you’re just super modest that it makes you civilized" Tanya said.
"And were here now to help you train, and get me those vehicles...especially that Harley." I said. Out of the corner of my eye I saw Alice roll her eyes.
"What are we going to do?" she asked.
"First were going to help you learn how to sense desires" I reached into the bag I brought and pulled out a bag of blood and a blind fold and looked at Alice she knew my plain but she wasn't happy about it.
"All this for a Harley" she said shaking her head grabbing the blindfold
"A soft-tail heritage" I corrected.
"What are we doing?" Sara asked.
"Here's the plan, were going to blindfold you and then were going to smear this blood on my face" I explained "I want you to sense my blood lust and try and turn it into a different kind of desire" I explained.
"Won't I be tempted by the blood?" she asked and I could feel her growing thirst. Her eyes followed the bag of blood and slowly darkened.
"Here" I said tossing her a bag "We brought extra just in case".
"Do you have any scissors?" she asked.
"Just use your teeth" I said.
"Don't want to make a mess" she said.
"Here you go." Alice said handing her a silly straw.
Sara took the straw and looked at Alice. "Its easier then ripping the bag open and you won't get any blood on your clothes" she said.
Sara stuck the straw in the bag, she didn't look too thrilled.
"This is wrong on so many levels" she said scrunching up her nose. She put her lips to the straw and began to suck gingerly but once the blood reached her tongue she threw all decency out the window and drained the pack like a man would suck on bottled water in the desert.
"Alright wait a few minutes then we'll begin" I said.
"Why are you doing this?" She asked. "I mean shouldn't you stay sane what with your empathy?"
"Of all the Cullens Jasper has the most difficulty controlling his thirst", Tanya explained, "Weather he smears it on his face or not makes little difference".
"That is why I brought Alice and Tanya. Tanya is older then all of us, she's better then Carlisle at controlling her thirst, and Alice has better control then me" I explained.
Alice strolled up to me and gave me a peck on the cheek and I smiled at her.
"Alright let’s begin"
Sara P.O.V
They put the blindfold on. One of the benefits of being a vampire was all your sense's are enhanced, I wasn't able to see them but I could here them even more clearly. I heard the bag rip, smelt the salty smell of blood, heard as one of the girls smeared it on Jaspers face. "Alright now focus" Jasper said huskily.
I tried to focus but the smell. That sweet, sweet coppery smell of blood. It wasn't human blood in my mind which was a much tastier thing but it was blood none the less. I felt a wave of calm and peace.
"Thanks Jasper" I said.
"Focus." Tanya said "Feel his desire, open your mind to the world around you. Let yourself see the world that only you can see".
I did as she said and did my best to ignore the desire to find the source of that smell. Even with Jasper’s help it was still tough to ignore the smell. I realized that once I ignored my own desire I could sense Jaspers growing bloodlust. I sensed Tanya and Alice too; they were vampires to so they were still affected. Alice felt a strong pull but was able to resist. Tanya, her resolve was like an iron fortress, centuries of eating only animals gave her a resistance stronger then Carlisle’s. But Jasper, his desire to just like a drop of this blood on his face, it was painful trying to resist actually hurt him.
"Good now imagine the desire as a lens. Do what you want with it, make it stronger or focus it on something else" Jasper said through clenched teeth.
I wanted to get rid of this desire. To relieve him of this pain. I imagined his desire as a roaring flame that needed air to thrive. I imagined I took away all that air, and suddenly there was no fire.
"No...freaken....way!" Tanya said stunned.
I took my blindfold of and saw Alice and Tanya staring at Jasper in disbelief. He looked amazed beyond description.
"Its gone." he said wiping some of the blood on his face and licking it "It still tastes good but I don't feel crazed".
"I can't believe it" Tanya said looking at me amazed. "This is impossible".
"What?" I asked confused.
"Sara, even with Jaspers power we still feel the desire for blood, but you've taken that desire away. He has no desire what so ever to take blood, human or animal." Alice said shocked.
We all stood there for a while each lost in there own thoughts about this new situation. After a while longer Jasper decided it was time to return to the house. It was time to win him a Motorcycle.
We returned to the mansion. We had been silent not saying anything. I was new so I had yet to realize the full impact this little experiment had caused. When we arrived at the mansion Everyone was watching TV. Except Edward who was staring at us with a shocked expression.
"Oh my" Esme said seeing the blood still on Jaspers face.
"What’s going on?" Carlisle asked seeing Jaspers normal face despite there was blood on it.
"Sara took away my blood lust" Jasper said.
Besides the TV it was quiet as a mouse. Everyone was looking shocked.
"That's impossible" Edward said.
"Well I have blood on my and I have no desire to even lick it off my face" Jasper said calmly.
Everyone turned to look at me with faces full of shock.
"Were going to have to put this on hold." Alice said.
"Embry is here." Edward said.
Fusedtwilight: Next chapter Embry comes to Alaska and a plane to protect Sara is made. And Jasper gets his due. Jasper is still a vampire and still has the thirst for blood as long as he is next to Sara it just doesn’t bother him. He'll get it back tho.
