Last chapter Jack departed, the wolves trust in the Cullen's is broken and now Jack is going to run with Maria, has Jack gone down a path he can never come back from? Keep reading to find out.

Jasper P.OV

I wanted to chase after him too keep him here. But Alice stopped me. “Don't Jasper.”

“But Alice.”

“He would only fight you, trust me. We need to get back and find out what is going on with the others,” she said.

I knew I should trust her, but I really wanted to chase after him. He was still so young in so many ways, how could he hope to survive on his own? What if he attracts the attention of the Volturi? What if he gets killed by some coven of vampires?

“Jasper come on.” she tugged on my arm, pulling me back to the house. I looked over my shoulder one more time, hoping to see Jack standing there. Of course he wasn't, but it was nice too hope.

Jasper's Diary

It has been three days since Jack has left. Alice and I have moved out of the house, we rented ourselves a nice room at an apartment complex. We wanted to be close to home in case something with the wolves came up.

Nessie is no longer allowed to come to La Push. She cried about that but Jake is still allowed to visit her. She misses Jack terribly, as do we all. Sure he was annoying, brash and foul mouthed but when he allowed himself to open up to us he truly was a member of this family. Whether he was with Carlisle learning history and biology, helping Esme in her garden, watching Rose work on her car, playing video games with Emmett, playing hide and seek with Nessie, learning how to play piano with Edward, going shopping with Alice helping Bella tidy up her house or learning how to fight from me.

I still remember the lessons I gave him for driving a motorcycle. I still remember the look on his face as I taught him how to work it, like a child learning how to drive a bike for the first time without their training wheels. I had also taught him how to fight. I figured it would be a good way to work out his anger and frustrations. It was good father/son bonding time.

Yes I said father son, because in the last six months we had gone beyond the maker and fledgling relationship, I truly thought as him as a son. I do miss him and worry for him. Every second I wonder if he is safe, I wonder if he is eating right, I wonder if he is lonely. I try not to let the others know how worried I am, but I cannot fool Alice.

I know she is keeping an eye on him, I have asked her where he is and all she says is he is somewhere safe. I can sense her lie of course, but I won't call her out on it. I have a good idea where he is going.

The wolves have left us alone; we talked with the elders over the phone. They decided to forget the whole incident provided we never again keep such a secret from them. However they did ask that we think about leaving some time very soon. Fine by me, there is nothing in Forks for me. I'd like to go out and look for Jack but I know where ever he is it is where he wants to be, so for now I will respect his need for isolation and hope he comes back to me and his family...for now.

Jack P.O.V

Jesus Christ! When did finding Mexico get so fucking hard!

It took me three fucking days to find it, yes I know it shouldn't take three days when you are a vampire but I had no idea where the fuck I was going. I had to make pit stops every once in a while to find some critter too eat or to ask directions. I tried to be as inconspicuous as possible. Some of the human adults I was around seemed too think I was a runaway and tried to convince me to go home.

It was tough to be around humans. Even after I drank animal blood I still had a strong desire to taste me some human blood. But I resisted. I may not be living with the Cullen's but that doesn't mean I have to go to being some wild and crazy man eater.

Finally after three days I made it too the border. Finding Maria wasn't going to be easy. Good thing I had learned how to track with my power, which would make it easier. I had also learned to improve my Spanish so if I met any non-English speaking vampires I would know what they were saying.

I waited until nighttime to cross. I mean sure I could run like a hundred and ninety miles per hour but I was trying to be unseen, I found that fence they used to keep out the illegals. I cannot believe they wasted our country's money to build that thing. I walked up to it, keeping an ear out for any of the border patrol.

I froze when I heard the sound of urgent whispering in Spanish. The sweet human smell hit me and I held my breath. I walked over to where I heard the sounds. A man, a woman a small boy and a baby held by the woman stood by the fence. From what I understood they were trying to find a weak spot on the fence so they could get through.

The little boy was clutching his father’s leg, looking scared and hungry. I remember those news reports about how some illegals travel many miles through the desert. Some don't make it, dying from the heat or from hunger. I had to wonder how long and far this family had to travel. They all looked worn out.

I walked up to them. They spotted me and thought I was border patrol because they began to flee. “Wait!” I called out.

I walked up to where they were on the fence, once they got a good look at me they calmed down. “You speak English?” I asked the man.

“A little,” he said with a thick accent.

“Where are you going?” I asked.

“America.”

“I know that, but where?”

“New Mexico.” he made Mexico sound like Me-hi-co.

I looked at the boy who seemed so thin. “How long have you been traveling?” I asked.

“Many days, we have some family in New Mexico who we hope can help us. We have to make it, we have too few rations too go back now, and we’ll never make it. Please help us,” he begged.

He gently patted his son's head and wrapped an arm around his wife. You could tell she had been pretty once, but a hard life had worn down that beauty. Had I been a human I would assume she was old, maybe a little too old to be having kids, but with the sharpness of my vampire eyes I could see she was in her thirty's.

She said something to her husband and he said something back, I think they were arguing about me. “My wife wants to know where your parents are. She is worried you will get in trouble for helping us,” the man said.

I smiled at the woman and she gave me a gentle smile back, I was reminded of Esme and I wished she was here. I know she would take one look at these people and drive them to New Mexico herself.

“My parents are...gone. But I assure you I can take care of myself; I am heading for Mexico trying to find a....very distant relation.”

The man's eyes bugged. “You cannot mean to travel the dessert alone? It is terribly cold at night and horribly hot in the day, you would not make it, and there is nothing for you in Mexico child, turn back please.”

“I'll be fine; I am more worried about you....quick a car is coming, get down!”

“But I hear nothing.”

“Trust me get down!”

I hid behind some bushes and the family quickly hid behind some giant rocks a few minutes later the sound of a Jeep could be heard then I saw it drive past slowly with a light shining out, trying to spot anyone too close to the fence. I could see rifles in the jeep and tried not to think what they did with them if they spotted someone trying to sneak in. Once it drove off I got out from behind the bush.

“All clear,” I called.

The family came from behind the rocks. “How did you know they were coming?” the man asked.

“Really good ears,” I said.

The child said something too his father, his hand was rubbing his tummy; I think he was saying he was hungry. “We have had to save most of our food for our little girl,” he said nodding to his wife and their daughter.

I looked too the little boy. “You hungry?”

His father translated and the boy nodded. “Well then.” I placed my hands on the fence. “We'll have to do something about that.”

I know what I was about to do was a big no, no. But how could I just leave them like this? Gripping the fence I ripped it down the center. The metal screeched horribly as I bent it apart. They looked at me stunned. I pulled the fence back, holding it open for them. “Quickly!” I said.

They grabbed their belongings and came through the opening I had made. “That was amazing how did you do that?” the man asked.

“I drink a lot of milk,” I said with a light laugh.

“Thank you, may God bless you for this.”

“Yeah, I wish.”

The woman said something to the man. “You could come with us; my wife does not wish to leave you alone.”

“Thanks but I am heading for Mexico, thank you for your worry, I appreciate it. Look before you go let me gives you something.” I pulled out my wallet and handed him my credit card. “You know how to work these?” I asked.

“Yes.”

“The pin number is 8807; there is ten thousand dollars on that card. Find a nice hotel, get some food and take a few days too rest and buy some cloths, you kind of stick out.”

“I cannot take this, this is too much.” he tried to hand me the card back.

“Look where I am going I won't need money, just take it and in return do me a favor.”

“Anything.”

“Love your family. Always be there for them. And as your children grow up, never make them feel like they are different or freaks. Love and cherish them and treat every day with them as if it was you're last day with them. Because you never know if it might be.”

“I will thank you.”

He went to his wife and they ran off. They looked behind at me and I waved them off. Once they were gone I decided to do all the other illegals a favor and ripped as much of the fence apart as I could make a huge gap in the fence. Wish I could stay and see the look on the patrol men's faces when they saw the fence torn to hell.

I ran on off into the night. Maybe I shouldn't have helped them; I probably shouldn't have made that tear in the fence. But how could I not? So what they are from a foreign country, they are just people trying to survive. Like anyone else, all I did was giving them something I really needed. A chance.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Three hours I found myself in some town whose name I can't even pronounce. All I know was there was a vampire here. Three actually. I got a lot of strange looks, I was the only white kid around, and I was dressed a little too nice to blend in.

I was making my way too what appeared to be a bar when a man walked up to me, he was fat and ugly and smelled horrible. He smelled of alcohol and I held my breath. I don't like the smell of alcohol. Over the years with my mother I built a defense mechanism. Every time I smell beer of any kind I knew it was going to be a bad night. So when the fat ugly man walked up to me and I smelled the alcohol the memories came flooding forward.

Like I said my Spanish was a little rusty but I knew enough to know he was offering me money for sexual favors. I told him I was twelve years old but he said he liked them young. Fighting back the urge to kill him I simply did the next best thing. When he brought his hand up and began too caress my face I grabbed his hand and gave enough of a squeeze that I was one hundred percent sure I had broken his wrist.

I left him there screaming in pain clutching his wrist, throwing curse after curse at me. I continued on my way too the bar. I paused; the smell of human blood was coming from the bar. Holding my breath (which was very uncomfortable) I walked up to the bar door and knocked.

A slide on the door opened and a single red eye glared at me. “Were closed, go away.”

The slide shut and I sighed. I knocked again and the slide opened again. “I told you scram kid, this is no place for children.”

“Look jerk off I know what you are and I know this because I am what you are.”

His eyes narrowed.

“Take a big whiff fella, or listen real close, you hear a heart beat?”

I heard him sniff the air. Then the slide closed and I heard a latch move. The door opened and I steeped in, still careful not to breath. The door closed behind me the vampire smiled. “Sorry, never seen a vamp with golden eyes, they contacts or something?”

“No.”

“Heh, weird, go on in, afraid you missed the fun.”

Steeling myself for what the fun may have been I made my way into the bar. It was real dark, barely any light, but with my vampires senses I had no problem seeing in the dark. There were no heart beats, but I could hear the sounds of people talking, laughing, up ahead.

I walked through a doorway and froze. Five vampires were in the room. Human bodies were everywhere. All of them bloody, some were covered in blood; others had no blood except for on their necks. Some were torn apart, missing heads or limbs, but they all had one thing in common, the looks of pure terror on their faces.

The five vampires were playing a game of ball, using a severed human head. I was so shocked at this scene. It was like something from hell, but these five guys were hanging out having fun like a bunch of high schooler's on a football field.

They stopped when they saw me, I heard the vampire from before walk up behind me. “One of us boss,” he said.

The vampire holding the head tossed it too one of his comrades and walked forward. “Does he look like one of us?” he asked.

“Well he is a vampire.”

“Let me rephrase that question. Is he one of us? From his skin tone does he look like he is of our coven?”

The vampire looked at me, then his eyebrows shot up in understanding, I could tell he was not the brightest crayon in the box. “Oops, sorry boss.”

“If only the venom increases intelligence.” the leader looked at me. “My name is Pedro.”

Pedro? How common.

“If you came for a snack I am afraid you missed the fun.”

“Yeah fun,” I said looking around. I was not breathing, which was uncomfortable. Some human instincts can't be erased even by the venom. I knew if I inhaled it would be a lot harder to think. But just the sight of all this blood made it tough to think. I kept on imagining myself going too one of the bodies and licking the still dripping blood from the bodies

“You're eyes are very interesting, tell me how did you make them like that?” Pedro asked.

“It's from my diet. I only drink animal blood; it is what causes my eyes too turn yellow instead of red.” I never understood that. Animal blood is red too, so why do our eyes turn gold and not stay red.

All the vampires started to laugh. “Animal blood? That is rich, tell me boy what brings you too the south, I am afraid there is a bit of a war going on, if you're not careful you might get caught up in it.”

“Actually I am looking for someone, you guys know a vampire by the name of Maria?”

The air in the room tensed, the vampires stood straighter and Pedro's eyes became sharp and focused. I saw his eyes move to the guy behind me and before I could stop him he wrapped his arms around me and lifted me up in the. “Let me go!” I growled.

Pedro and his cronies walked forward. “And why would you be seeking that bitch?” he asked.

“Too join her of course,” I said.

Pedro laughed. “Well then, I am afraid you are in the wrong place. See when I said there was a war going on I meant to say I am involved in this war. See me and my group got tired of the old covens hogging all the humans too themselves. So we killed one of the covens and took their territory for ourselves. Well that pissed the other covens off, made them scared too. They thought we wanted their turf. But they actually got greedy; they wanted to kill us to claim the turf for themselves. It was only a matter of time before they turned on each other as well, now every damn coven in the country is fighting, every day vampires are killed and new ones are made. So if you wish to join Maria then that makes us enemies.”

“You don't want me as your enemy,” I said.

“Funny I was about to say that.”

“Well allow me to demonstrate.”

Using my still newborn strength I spread my captor’s arms enough to loosen my arm to grab his face. Letting my power out I began to drain him. I felt his life flow into me; I embraced the familiar feeling of satisfaction. It had been so long since I had done this.

I heard him make a strange sound, between a shriek and a whimper. I saw his comrades’ step back and hiss in fear. I felt his body shrink and wither, it wasn't until he evaporated and there was nothing left save some dust and his cloths I stopped.

I took a step forward and they stepped back. “Now where is Maria?” I asked, “Tell me or I will drain every last one of you fuckers until nothing is left but dust.”

I would do it. I would feel nothing. Not because I was in my quiet place, but because the sight of them killing so many people and using their body parts to play ball pissed me off.

“Head south east of here, you'll find her,” Pedro said.

“Thank you.”

I backed up from them, not daring too give them my back. I was fast but I wasn't cocky or dumb enough to do such a thing. My power wasn't automatic, if I didn't hear them come at me in time, even for a second my head would be rolling on the ground.

I backed down the hallway and when I reached the door I reached behind and opened it. Running out and making sure I closed it, so no poor soul would wonder in thinking it was open then I ran. It was tough too just huff it human but once I was sure I was out of human sight I ran. Hopefully south east.

Maria P.O.V

I was with Alejandro going over reports of the patrols around our turf when Nikki came in accompanied by her handler. She was only little over two months old but she was too valuable for me to allow her to mingle with the others alone. I could not risk her getting into a skirmish with the other newborns and getting herself killed not with her ability.

Which explains why she is here. “What is it? Danger?” I asked.

She stepped forward. “I am not sure. A few minutes ago I got this feeling like...I don't know something is coming, it’s dangerous but not exactly like it wants to kill us, it’s just really mean and nasty,” she said.

“Well that helpful,” Alejandro scoffed.

“Silence Alejandro, you know better than too mock her power.” I walked over to her and placed my finger under her chin and made her look at me. “Nikki is this thing coming too hurt us?”

“No, if it was I would be getting a stronger feeling. I think it is dangerous, but it means no harm,” she said.

“Good girl, I think we'll let you have a whole meal too yourself,” I said.

She jerked her face away like I had slapped her. “Still not used to the idea?”

“I just don't like doing it,” she said.

“Nikki we have talked about this, you are a vampire, and you need to feed on blood. Otherwise you will go insane with hunger, it cannot be avoided my dear.”

“It's just so hard, listening to them cries and moans,” she said her face falling.

“If you like we will knock them out don't starve yourself over any echoes of your old human life you may have, you are a vampire and this is what we do. Your choice Nikki, a few moments of pain for them and pleasure for you or weeks of excruciating agony, because I promise you will cave, men and women better than me have tried and failed.”

“Alright I get it, but I don't have too like it,” she growled.

“Good girl.” I kissed her on the forehead, “any idea where this thing is coming from?”

“North west.”

“Hm. Alejandro, send a few of ours too seek out this mystery person, escort him here,” I said.

“What?”

“You heard me.”

“Why? She says he is dangerous.”

“Yes, but he or she bears us no ill will. I would see he or she on our side, seeing how they are dangerous and all.”

“As you wish Maria.” he left to go send some of ours off too find me this weapon. I confess even after what happened six months ago I still had a small bit of hope it was Jasper. I need someone dangerous in my group now. Someone like Jasper who would bring this country under my thumb like he had.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jack P.O.V

I continued on what I thought was North West about an hour later I was discovered by three vampires. They asked me what I wanted and I told them I was seeking Maria. I was surprised when they told me I was expected.

I followed them as they led me to where she was. I don't know what I expected, but an old run down church was not on the list. The church was surrounded by a large circular wall. A few houses and small huts were here and there. There were a lot of vampires, more then I have seen so far.

I got a lot of looks. Weary, cautious, aggressive. My newborn instincts were screaming at me to run, too many vampires, too much danger. But I staid resolved and followed the vampires to the church.

The pews had been removed, tables and chairs were scattered about. I saw Maria at the place where the alter should be, I was surprised they had kept a cross of Jesus on the wall. She looked up as we entered and her eyes widened in surprise, then she smiled. Like she had just received a million dollars.

“Well I guess being a Cullen wasn't as great as you thought it would be,” she said.

“You'd guess right,” I said.

“Well I knew it wouldn't last, you struck me as someone who preferred to stick to their roots.”

“Don't think just because I am team Maria now that I am going to be forgetting everything that the Cullen's taught me. I will help you protect you're turf but I am not going to kill any humans,” I said.

She smiled. “Of course, whatever floats your boat.” she beckoned me forth. I walked forward and was surprised when she gave me a hug. “Welcome to the family little solider.”
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Nikki P.O.V

It never gets easy. No matter what Maria says?

Sure when I give myself over to the instincts I enjoy drinking human blood. But afterwards the guilt settles in and I hate myself for killing them. But the thirst is too powerful, I had tried to resist at first, but it was pointless. Besides I needed my wits about me. My power is useful too Maria but I know if I push her too far she will kill me. She may act all motherly and concerned for me but she has limits.

If I starve myself and go crazy she'll have to put me down, a rabid new born is not good to have around. Plus I needed her protection, the other newborns resent me. Everyone knew Maria favored me, that she wasn't as hard on me as she was on the others. So I had to be careful I didn't piss off Maria. She had made it clear to the others she would be most displeased if they did anything to hurt me, even accidentally.

She always made sure I had someone to watch over me. Too make sure I didn't runaway and too make sure no one tried to mess with me. The doors to the church opened and Alejandro called everyone in. We all hurried in, knowing how Maria didn't like to be kept waiting.

There were over twenty of us, and judging from the look of triumph on her face we just got a new member. Imagine my surprise when I saw it was a kid about my age. I was taller by him by about an inch, he was somewhere between ten and thirteen. Four foot 3 he had auburn colored hair. In the dark it seemed more brown but when the light from the torches caught his hair you could see the red.

His hair was very wavy, it was very messy looking like he never combed it. Which had too be a crime because it was wonderful hair. Most guys would need to spend over an hour and a lot of money to get it that color of auburn and make it that wavy. I instantly imagined running my hands over that hair, my fingers feeling all that wavy goodness flowing through my fingers.

His face was round and a bit plump. Not from being overweight, he looked very fit. But he still had some left over baby fat that gave him a very cute edge. He reminded me of a younger Haley Joel Osmen. That kid from the sixth sense and A.I. Only with wavy auburn hair and the round baby face and he was very good looking.

Now there were plenty of guys who were beautiful here in Maria's coven, but there was something about his kid. He had a strong boy next door look, had he been allowed to grow older he would have been the king of all the boy next door types out there. I could see him being a star basketball player or maybe even a swimmer. A soccer ball player definitely or baseball even, something that involved a lot of running. He looked like he had the build for running.

But what was really interesting was his eyes. Instead of being red or black they were gold. Well more amber like actually. They were gorgeous. I really liked them.

Maria began to talk. “Good news people, we have a new member too add to our ranks,” she said.

No one said anything, but I could tell from many faces they were thinking big freaking deal, more meat for the grinder.

“This is Jack; he will be our new weapon.”

Jack? It’s a nice name for him, it suits him. Nothing fancy or anything, a nice simple name. But a secret weapon? Come on. He doesn't look like he is dangerous. But I know better. He is the one I sensed. My power told me. It told me of all the vampires in the church right now he was the most dangerous. Even as I admired him I was weary of him.

“Whets up?” he asked.

His voice was thick with non-concealed humor. It poured off him like an aura. Another thing I just learned was that this kid had major attitude, you could see it in those wonderful yellow eyes of his. The humor in them made them seem more warm.

“Maria, he's just a kid, how can he be a weapon?” one of the vampire's asked.

“Don't let his appearance fool you; Jack is one of the most dangerous vampires alive. He was turned and trained by Jasper Whitlock.”

A stunned silence filled the room, some had astonished and awed looks on their faces but others looked confused. I had to wonder who this Jasper Whitlock was? Must be famous too make such a reaction.

“What can he do that makes him such a threat?” another vampire in the crowd asked.

I was wondering that myself, there were little over twenty vampires here and only a few of us have a special gift. Me being one of them. Whatever this kid can do must be pretty impressive.

“I am glad you asked, Diego come forward.”

Diego lumbered forward. Like all vampire men he had been inhumanly beautiful once. But a few weeks ago there had been a fight. He had won but his face had been horribly disfigured. The vampire he had fought had bitten chunks out of his face and since vampire venom is the only thing that can scar us. Poor Diego has a face that is missing bits and is horribly scared.

“Jack, you know what to do,” Maria said.

Jack nodded and stepped forward. He placed his hands on Diego's face. Diego snarled softly at him, only because of how misshapen his face was it came out sounding weird.

Jack ignored him and gripped his face tightly in his hands. Then a miracle happened. Diego's face began to heal. We all watched fascinated as his face began to fill out, the scars seemed to be absorbed by his skin. It was a little morbid, watching his face reform like that but I could not help but look. Had my stomach still worked right I would have been sick.

Within a minute Diego's face was returned too it's once glorious state.

Jack let go and Diego turned to look at our stunned faces. “What?” he asked. “Alright I get it I'm ugly now. Don't have too rub it in, bunch of ungrateful bastards.”

He touched his face with his hand. Then paused. His eyes grew wide; he brought his other hand up and began feeling his face. “What then?”

He ran his hands over his face. He checked every little detail of his face. Not a single thing was out of place. It was fully restored.

“That's right Diego, Jack has healed you,” Maria said.

“A healer would be very useful, but how does that make him a threat?” the same vampire from before asked. I didn't know very many people’s names. Seemed kind of pointless as people were dying all the time defending Maria's turf from the invading covens. That was part of the reason why I was hated by many of the newborns. Maria never let me leave the church because my power was too useful.

“Because he doesn't just heal, he can kill with his power as well. Just ask Alejandro, over six months ago he had a run in with Jack. Jack killed one of the vamps I sent with Alejandro and reduced Alejandro too such a weakened state he was no better than a human.”

Alejandro had a sour look on his face, he obviously did not like everyone finding out he had been nearly killed by a kid.

“With Jack helping us out as both a killer and a healer we will win this war,” Maria said, “with him we can go into a fight, he can drain our enemies then use that same energy to heal us, we will be invincible!”

Everyone cheered and clapped, the sound of them slamming their hands together sounded like thunder. I polity clapped, while the others cheered and roared. Mexico was a big place and with all the other covens gone then all the blood of the land would be ours. The fighting would stop.

What would happen to me then? I was an accident; I wasn't even supposed to be here. I still had a family but I could not go back to them. I was a monster now. Revealing myself too them would be a catastrophically bad thing. So if we did win the war what would happen to me? Maria would no longer have need of me and I doubt she will want to keep such a large coven around.

Maybe she will kill the others and keep me; my power was a useful tool so it gave me an edge over the others. Maybe Maria would let us all go. Let us do our own thing. I could travel, I don't need to sleep, eat (except blood) I don't grow tired and I am very strong and fast. Plus add my power and it would be easy as pie for me to survive.

But alone and having too drain innocent people of blood. Some life. If the war did end and Maria did let me leave I wasn't going to stay here, nor would I go back to Nevada, I would travel. Anywhere but here.

I stopped clapping as I felt someone looking at me. I looked and saw it was Jack. I shivered. They were inquiring and curious. He seemed surprised to see me. I wanted to look away but I could not. The gaze was so intense, or maybe it just seemed that way because of how yellow his eyes were.

I wondered how he got them that way; I had only ever seen vampires with red eyes or black. Newborns have vivid scarlet because of how much human blood is left over from when we were human, black is when we are hungry and our need to feed is strong. Those few vampires who are not newborns like Maria and Alejandro have burgundy red eyes. Maybe the fact he feeds on life juice has something to do with it.

No wonder he hits my power so hard, one single touch and he could kill even a vampire. Alejandro is looking at him with a look that made all the other vampires cringe. All the newborns were petrified of Alejandro. Maria used him as her personal newborn disposal boy. He had a few bite marks on him from where some vamps left a farewell gift.

Another reason he was so feared was...well I have never seen it before myself but rumor has it he was an Aztec warrior before Columbus or the Spanish conquistadors showed up. I heard...horror stories that some of the newborns that he would take out in the desert too kill on Maria's orders once they reached they're one year mark. Well rumor has it he likes to bind them then rip open their chests and tear out they're heart like how the Aztecs did.

These were just rumors, some say they were fueled too help keep the newborns in check. Too make them behave better or else Alejandro would take them out to the dessert and rip out their hearts too the gods his people worshiped all those years ago. Immortality may sound good on paper but when you are human you die from having your heart ripped out. A vampire? Nope. Losing the heart doesn't kill you, just hurts like hell.

Alejandro was dangerous; I didn't need my power to tell me that, the bite marks on his face was a clear sign. I know one thing, if I were Jack and I had Alejandro looking at me like that, I would watch my back. And my front.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jack P.O.V

If this church had windows they would have shattered. The sound of all the vampires clapping and cheering was like thunder. I didn't cheer or clap. The only reason I came too this fucking place was too fight in this war, hopefully it wouldn't end too soon or else I would have no reason to stay here.

I sure as hell wasn't going back to the Cullen's, that ship has set sail. I'll miss them, all of them. Hell I'll even miss Seth and Collin. But I wasn't fit to be around people like them. Good honest people. I was too dangerous and I had too many issues to be around them. It wasn't so bad; I mean I probably see them again. Maybe even visit them a few times. Not in Forks, I wasn't going anywhere near that shit hole.

I noticed one of the vampires weren't cheering or clapping as hard as the others. I stared at her shocked. She was a kid! Like me, she was an inch smaller than me, but she had to be about as old as I am. Her eyes were a vivid scarlet so I knew she had to be a newborn. I still had another six months to go before I was no longer a newborn.

She and me were the only kid vampires I had seen. She was...cute. Her hair was a dark brown and her cheeks were round. She had two dimples, one on each cheek. You could only see them if she smiled which I was sure to make her look more cute, I saw them thanks to my vamp-o-vision. I wonder how she got roped into this mess. Why would Maria turn a kid? She didn't look like she was happy to be here.

She noticed I was looking at her and stopped clapping. We just stared into one another’s eyes. She was good looking, he hair went past her ears and she styled it so the front hair bits were kept behind her ears.

“Hard to believe such a little kid has such a big power,” one of the vampires in the crowd said, he was just joking but my temper flared.

“Fuck you,” I said.

Might as well interact with my new coven members the best way I know how. By being a foul mouthed brat.

Fusedtwilight: And so it begins, next chap we see how Jack is assimilating with the southern vamps and him and Nikki start to bond. And speaking of Nikki we learn how she got stuck with Maria and what makes her so special.
