By time the Gala arrived my adoptive family had decided they where going to go as well. They where all interested in seeing something from my past, though I think my wife Alice was more interested and excited at having the opportunity at dressing everyone up. We had bought our tickets back to Washington and where going to stay in our old home just out side Forks. This also gave Bella an excuse to see her father. We found out through research this Gala was being put on by the Owner because she had sold it to someone else and was moving, the Civil War art that was going to be displayed was going to be taken with her to a new Gallery she was opening up of all place here in Hanover New Hampshire.
Everyone was in the middle of getting ready each in their perspective rooms. Bella was currently talking to Nessie on the phone as she got dressed. Jacob and Nessie had stayed behind as to not to get anyone questioning things if we where to run into someone we knew while our short visit back. I was pulling my jacket of my tux on when my wife’s cheery voice broke the silence in our room.
"Do you think this owner could possibly be a relative of yours she dose have your last name" Alice said walking out in her long black gown.
"It's possibly I guess, if she is I would assume she is a cosine when I left I didn’t have any brothers but my father had two younger brothers who had sons so it’s possible." I answered turning to her.
"Well your parents could have had another child after you left couldn’t they" She asked
"Yeah I suppose they could have" I said walking out of the room to head down stairs.
Rosalie was down stairs straighten Emmett’s bow tie as he complained.
"Oh come on Rose do I really have to wear this monkey suit?" Emmett groaned.
"Stop complaining Emmett we don’t get to go to things like this very often and it’s for Jasper" Rosalie said stepping back from her husband.
It was shortly there after we where in the crowded rooms of the Gallery looking at paintings and drawings. Alice, Rosalie, Esme, and Bella where admiring a modern painting of a field during a sunny day. My Brothers where discussing a baseball game they had recently watched on the TV. I wondered threw the people until I came to the exhibit that I was looking for. I recognized people in the drawings. There where pictures of her Father and mother as well as her brothers. I heard people commenting on how beautifully the pictures where drawn and how happy the scenes where.
I came to some drawings the stopped me in my tracks, they where drawings of me. Pictures of me in the field or in the Library with a book in my hand, there was even one that I assume she probably did from memory it was a portrait of me smiling.
"That’s something we don’t see enough of" Esme's voice rang.
I looked behind me and found my family gathered there.
"It looks like she cared for you deeply" Carlisle said softly
"What makes you think that" I asked looking at my adoptive father.
"The great detail she put in the pictures that you’re in. In her others she doses enough details to make it pop but with yours you can tell she took great care to get every single detail to get it correct." Carlisle answered.
"I like this one" I heard Bella call.
She had walked away from the group and was now standing in front of a rather large painting. We all walked over and my heart would have stopped if it still beat in my chest. There I sat in my military uniform surrounded by other soldiers resting on logs and the ground I sat on a log with a book resting next to me and a hard portable writing desk on my lap as I was writing a letter. A small sign under it read 'A Majors Last Good Bye'.
"That’s now how it looked." I whispered
"What do you mean" I heard Edward asked.
"This is a picture of me writing the last letter I ever wrote to her mere week’s before I turned. I told her I loved her it was the first time I confessed how I felt for her. Took me three years after she told me how she felt. We had grown up together and I don’t know when we first fell in love but we where scared to tell one another. She must have drawn this after they declared me dead" I explained.
"It was her first and only painting" The voice froze me it was the same one the haunted me but that couldn’t be she was dead.
Is stood there frozen as my family turned to talk to the person he voice belonged to.
"Hello I’m Carlisle Cullen this is my family, you have really stumbled on a wondrous find with these drawings. Someone who experienced it first hand an innocent young woman." Carlisle said
"It’s a Pleasure to meet you I’m Lily Whitlock I'm the owner well was the owner of this Gallery. This painting you’re admiring is my favorite you can tell that she was so in love with this man even after he died her heart still only beat for him." My angel’s voice sang.
I clutched my fist how could someone steal the voice of my Angel the voice that was silenced so many years ago. I turned to see the woman who dared have her voice and I was struck another blow. Carlisle was introducing the others as I turned around.
"And this is my oldest son Jasper; it was his idea to come the civil war has always interested him." Carlisle said
The woman that stood in front of me was my angel with out her peachy skin it was replaced with pale alabaster and her once blue eyes where now a liquid gold. The look of shock and surprised on my face was mirrored on hers. The brutal and ugly truth slapped me in the face my angel has not been murdered she was turned. The beautiful tune of her heart that I heart that night I and snuck in had disappeared. Her beautiful figure and features where still that same her slim curvy body was being hugged by a long black dress that had black chiffon spilling down from her bust line and had a braided strap over her left shoulder that held the dress up. Her curly chestnut hair was pined up and she had her decorative combs that she must have kept secured in her hair.
She cleared the shock and gave a soft smile reaching out her hand to shake mine. "Hello Jasper I’m so happy to hear you took such an interest in this exhibit I was worried her art work wouldn’t be appreciated."
I took her hand gently in mine and it wasn’t warm the last piece I need to confirm everything. "It's my pleasure Miss. Whitlock, A girl who lost her life so tragically with out her love and during the time when this nation was starting to put itself back together deserves to have something that is as personal as a journal being displayed so people could see the truth."
"Here is a neat little coincidence Miss Whitlock, my husband has tracked his ancestry back to the civil war and found he has Whitlocks in his family, imagine if you two are distant cousins." Alice beamed linking her arm with in mine.
I saw the smile on Lily's face fade for a split second and then return as she turned to Alice.
"That is a coincidence it would certainly be something interesting to look into now wouldn’t it." Lily chimed.
"I hate to be rude but I must excuse my self" Lily said politely and lifting her dress up slightly so she could walk with out stepping on her dress.
My fist unclenched and I took my arm gently from Alice's "I need some air" I spoke softly and began to walk out of the room.
The cool night air was a welcomed relief. My head was spinning I had just found out the love for a girl that I had carried with me from my human life to this one shrouded in darkness was dead and her art she had kept a secret from everyone now was laid out for the world to see, to only come to find out it was her that has released it to the world because my Angel had now become a demon like me.
It was my brother’s voice that broke me from my thoughts. "You should tell the others especially Alice."
"How? How do I explain that the girl I have loved for over one hundred fifty years who I thought was dead is actually alive and a vampire." I asked gritting my teeth.
"I don’t know but she is as shocked to see you here as well, a little heart broken too to find out your married." Edward said
"I should go speak with her in private invite her back and we can get everything squared away. Lines set since she will be moving to Hanover I don’t want things to be awkward for her or for us." I said running my hand threw my hair.
"That might work out it would be good she had boundary lines so she knows you are with Alice and she doesn’t try anything." Edward said
"Edward! She is not like that she would not try to take something that wasn’t hers no matter how much she wanted something." I growled
"Okay, okay sorry Jasper calm down." Edward put is hands up.
"Jasper...." Alice voice caught both of us.
"Hey Alice I was just heading back in" Edward said walking off.
Alice walked closer looking up at me "Jasper If you still want her and love her I won’t stand in the way of that"
"Alice..." My voice was soft I loved Alice I cared for her deeply she was my best friend I wouldn’t of ever dreamed of leaving her after everything we had been threw.
"I've seen the possibilities Jasper I cant hold what you feel against you, I’m sure if either of you had known what had really happen to each other we would not have met, I am glad we have though and who ever you choose I want you to be happy Jazz" Alice said with a soft smile on her face.
I nodded she had seen multiple outcomes so she didn’t even know what would really happen but she wanted me to be happy what ever happened.
I placed a soft kiss on her tender cheek. "I should go talk to her, I want to invite her back to the house will you be okay with that?"
Alice gave a small nod "Even if the feelings where no longer there for you two you guys deserve to catch up"
"Thank you Alice" I whispered before heading back into the Gallery.
I walked around looking for my angel. It didn’t take long I walked over to her as she was getting a glass of whine it was a prop I’m sure. I cleared my throat some to get her attention. She turned around slowly and gave me a soft smiled with a hint of sadness.
"Oh Mr. Cullen" Her voice sang
"Actually its Hale, Miss. Whitlock could I possibly have a word with you some place private?" I asked
She simply nodded and began to walk out of the rooms down a hallway before opening and entering a rather large room that I assumed was her Office. She turned on the lights as I walked threw the door closing it behind me.
"It’s been a long time Jasper" She spoke softly as she kept her back to me.
"It has Lily" I agreed.
"Have you been alone all this time" I asked
She gave her head a nod "yes like I said in the book I can’t love in halves, so my heart already belonged to you weather you where dead or alive"
"How did this happen to you...you where suppose to get married grow old have a family be happy" I asked clutching my fist wanting to tear apart there creature who turned my Angel into a monster.
"Beau Weatherington...He took a more active interest in me after you left and it only escaladed after you did not return I had been visiting Caitlyn and had lost track of time it was dark by time I hit the field. That’s where I ran into Beau he said he had just been at my house his mother had baked a few pies and asked him to bring us one. Since it was dark out he offered to escort me home. I didn’t see any harm in it. We didn’t walk long before he pulled me into the forest acting like he was going to try and kiss me it seemed like it was harmless play but then he grabbed my shoulders and pinned me to the tree. That’s when he bit me I let out a scream that pain was like a fire ripping through my body. He stopped when he heard my father and the dogs calling for me. I knew when he bit me what he was, on of those monsters that where only suppose to exist in books. I dragged myself into a small cave trying not to scream or cry out in pain knowing if my father found me this way my life would surely end for good. Though I had wished for death several times when you did not return I still held on to some kind of hope that you might still be out there so I had to live incase you came back." Lily explained to me
"Your eyes they are golden you drink animal blood" I said
"Yes I stayed put in that cave until the pain went away I didn’t dare venture out of the forest afraid someone might see me after I was supposedly dead. So when I got thirsty I leapt on the first thing that I smelled it was small deer. I saw that I could drink from the animals and not have to harm any humans and make them into the creature I had become."
"Why my name?" I asked I had so many questions I wanted answer too.
"I stayed close to home watching over my family for a while. Liam took over the cattle. Daddy grew old and died in the house. After Liam’s first child was born I left. I traveled around finally able to interact with humans again. I didn’t dare use my last name not wanting it to get back to my family so I took the only other name I was willing to take yours." She answered she never turned to face me.
We stood there in silence as I was taking it all it. She had lived by herself all this time; I felt responsible for that thought I had nothing to do with it. Even after turning she had refused to harm anyone for herself to survive her kind heart still live in side her body though it not longer beat that was a relief she hadn’t changed.
"Your wife is very beautiful" She whispered breaking the silence
"Thank you, I would like it if tomorrow you came to our house down in Forks we are only staying there until tomorrow evening we have a flight back to New Hampshire and I would like to talk to you more, and see if there is any way we could still possibly be friends Lily" I said taking a step towards her.
She finally turned toward me with her sweet smile back in its rightful place "that would be nice; I would like very much to be friends again Jasper"
"I’ve missed you Lily out of all my memories from being human yours are the only ones who didn’t get clouded or fade." I confessed
"The same goes for me Jasper, you should really go join your family again I’m sure they will be wondering where you ran off too." She said her smile fading some.
I nodded and went over to her desk and wrote down the address of our house for her. I gave her a soft kiss on the cheek before I left her alone in the room.
