Chapter 3

NPOV

It is the night the fates, it seems, have decided they are going to try my patience and my control. Kira is meeting me at my place tonight to help me get ready; I am so nervous that I can't figure out what to wear.

I am standing in my closet when I hear Kira's yelling from downstairs, "Hey babe, you up there?" Where else would I be?

"Duh, I'm in the walk-in," I yell.

She runs up the stairs and bounds though my door. "Hiya, hun."

"Hi," I grumble, as I look over her outfit. She looks hot in her tight jeans and leather bodice.

Walking into my closet, she pushes me out, "Hey," I protest, as she proceeds to flip through my collection of club gear.

She comes out holding a pair of my black leather pants and a glitter, drop back halter neck top in emerald green. She lays them on the bed and goes back in coming out with a pair of, lucky for her, my more comfortable knee-high platform heels.

She looks at me, daring me to question her. "That is what you are wearing, so get dressed or we will be late, and you know how Emma gets when we are late."

Oh do I ever. She is one of my best friends, but she is a terror on heels if kept waiting. I am dressed, made up and hair done in twenty minutes. We are out the door and in Kira's car in five more.

We park the car downtown, walk to the club with five minutes to spare and join Raell, Fiona, and Emma outside Gel. It turns out that we have all dressed in similar outfits for the night. All in black pants with jewel tone tops, me in Emerald, Fiona in Garnet, Kira in Amethyst, Raell in Topaz and Emma in Sapphire. We are all looking really good, so if anything, we are going to have a good time just keeping off the dance floor. We will have plenty of invitations to dance.

It is Wednesday, so it's Ladies Night, and that means we get in free and Raell will have a larger choice of ladies to dance with, not that it is ever a problem for him. The guy is gorgeous, and if I didn't think of him as a brother, I'd consider him for myself.

We make our way in and walk over to the bar to grab a couple drinks and some waters, and then we head over to a table near the dance floor to set up for the night ahead. We have a good view of both the floor and of the door so we can scope out the dancers and Kira can keep an eye out to see if Emmett arrives or not. I swear she's whipped.

As we are watching the dancers, I am chatting with Fiona and Emma letting them in on what has Kira so distracted. While I talk to them a couple of regulars in the club have already pulled Raell to the dance floor.

"So Kira met this guy a week and a half ago and is this smitten already?" Fiona asks.

"Yep, and now she is dragging us into it."

"What do you mean?" Emma asks.

"Emmett and his sibs are supposed to be here tonight to ‘meet' us."

They both stare at me like I've just grown a third head and Fiona grumbles, "You've got to be kidding me."

"Nope. There are five of them and five of us," I tell them. "Maybe she thinks we will all hit it off or something." We all just shake our heads as we look at Kira, who is staring at the door, like it will make him show up faster.

As "Single" by New Kids on the Block Ft Ne-Yo comes on over the speakers, I grab my girls and we head out to the dance floor to get the night started and to maybe forget for a bit what the night may have in store.

JPOV

We pile into two cars to make the drive into Manchester, yet again, so Emmett can see Kira. But this time we have Eleazar and Carmen with us, so he can get a look at Nasreen. He is going to see if he can get a read on her and maybe give us a clue as to what is going on and why she glowed.

Emmett has told us that not only will Kira's friends from the other night be there, but two others will be as well. Isn't this just turning into the night from hell for us? Great, now we had to make ‘nice' with five strangers, three of which could possibly bring danger to us all and one that made me think of home every time I inhaled.

We get into downtown and park the cars. We walk to the club, pay the covers needed and go in. I am surprised to see it so crowded, and I'm thankful I had hunted earlier in the day. Making our way over to the corner of the room nearest to the door, we start scanning the room. I immediately was hit with the smell of gardenia and jasmine and know Nasreen is somewhere in the club.

"She is here," I whisper.

"So is Kira," says Emmett.

"Raell, too," Rose purrs.

Suddenly I hear "Damn" from Edward and Alice simultaneously. I look over at them questioningly.

"What?" I ask.

"Roses and leather," Alice sighs dreamily.

"Opium and oranges," Edward groans.

"Well shit," I say. "Now we're really screwed aren't we?" Laughing at our situation.

Eleazar and Carmen just look at each other and smile shaking their heads as if to say only us. We have done just about everything together since we were ‘adopted' by Carlisle and Esme, why not find our singers, too.

"I'm going to go see if I can find Kira and her friends," Emmett tells us.

"Okay," I say as he walks into the crowd.

NPOV

We were dancing and having a good time when Emmett walks up behind Kira, places his large hands on her hips and pulls her close.

"Hey there, baby." Emmett leans in kissing her cheek.

"Hi, gorgeous," Kira sighs.

"Hey guys. How's it shakin'?"

"Hey, Emmett," I reply.

We all move off the dance floor so we can properly introduce Emmett to the others. Once back at our table we introduce Fiona and Emma to Emmett, and he makes his hellos.

"So, Nasreen tells us that you and Kira started seeing each other a little over a week ago. What are your intentions with our girl?" Fiona asks, and Kira huffs and blushes. Fiona is our interrogator.

"Get right to the point don't you?" Emmett laughs as he pulls Kira closer. "Well, I like her a lot, and I want to get to know her better and see where it goes from there. But I don't intend to hurt her."

Fiona looks around to all of us and nods her head. "Ok, I believe you. But if you do hurt her, you will not like the pain we will bring upon you."

"Understood."

"Now about the real reason we are here for the ‘charade' of a meeting," I say sarcastically. "I'm assuming the rest of your family is here somewhere just waiting for your signal that it is safe to come over?"

"Yeah, kinda," he says looking at Kira.

"Well, we might as well get this out of the way then. Go get them Emmett," I tell him.

He walks away, and I turn and look at my friends and give them all a small smile. At this point, they have all been informed of my reaction to Emmett's brother Jasper and they are prepared to help me if needed.

A few minutes later, Emmett walks back over and stands by Kira. The rest of his family seems to line up around the table almost pairing off with us, which seems odd to me, but I pay little attention as I try to keep myself in control being so near to Jasper.
Emmett clears his throat to get our attention and begins the introductions.

"Everyone these are my siblings: Edward, Alice, Rosalie, and Jasper. Guys, these are Kira's friends; Emma, Fiona, Raell, and Nasreen."

"Hello, Emma," Edward says, with reverence in his voice.

"Hello, Edward." Emma blushes.

"Hi Fiona!" Alice nearly screams. She is bouncing so much.

"Hey there, Alice," Fiona purrs leaning towards her.

Raell looks at Rosalie dumbfounded, like the earth had just stopped and takes her by both hands and utters, "Welcome to my life."

She is looking at him with almost a mirrored expression of awe on her face and just replies, "Thank you."

I look at the two of them, then at the others, as if to ask what the hell just happened.

Finally, I look at Jasper and murmur, "Hello Jasper, it is nice to meet you." I can feel my energy flaring up and I am trying to keep it under control, but it is difficult.

Then he does something completely unexpected, he takes my right hand in his and says with a slight southern drawl, "The pleasure is all mine, Nasreen." And then places a soft kiss to the back of my hand.

At that point, my control goes to hell and my energy flares. I am standing next to the table and on top are a couple glasses and bottles. The glass closest to where I am standing all of a sudden shatters from the force of the energy being forced out of me. Shitshitshit. Everyone turns their eyes to me and I sink into the chair and blush clear through to my toes.

"Nasreen, are you ok?" Jasper asks.

"I...I'm fine," I stutter.

"What happened?" Kira asks.

"What do you think happened, Kira?" I say pointedly, looking from the table to Jasper.

"Oh..."

"What's going on?" Emmett asks.

"Don't worry, baby," Kira tells him.

We spend the next hour just chatting and getting to know each other a bit more. Rosalie and Raell have not said anything to anyone but each other in the entire time, which is very odd for him. I'm going to have to talk to him later about what happened. While we are talking, I spend a lot of time watching Jasper trying to get a read on him. He seems to be separate from the group almost like he is trying to control his interactions. My gut is telling me I need to know more, it isn't like my spirit to react so actively to someone. Maybe Nona was right and I am meant to help him. So I decide to try to get a read on his aura, to see what he looks like on a spirit level - maybe something is going on deeper than he lets on.

As I concentrate, I see him looking at me with the same look of concentration. I try to ignore his piercing caramel eyes and focus on my task. Centering myself, I begin to sort out the colors surrounding him and what I see would have brought me to my knees had I not been sitting. His center aura is beautiful and clear blue - that of someone compassionate caring and sensitive. But the colors that layered around it that block his full potential bring tears to my eyes. Surrounding him were dark green, bright lemon yellow and dirty grays.

"Nasreen are you ok?" I hear Kira ask.

"I need to talk now."

"Sure, excuse us."

She leads us down the hall to the ladies room and locks the door behind us.

"What's up? I saw you reading Jasper."

"I read his aura, and it just made me so...god, Kira he has been so hurt."

"What did you see?" She asks concerned.

"Dark green, bright lemon, and dirty gray, layered over the most beautiful blue. Typically I would say he blames himself for something in his past, struggles for control of something that he cannot help, and is very guarded because of it all. And the blue well, he is very compassionate, caring, sensitive, and beneath it all, a beautiful soul."

"And does that change how you feel?"

"No, it only makes me want to get closer."

"Well, I guess you know what you need to do."

"Learn how to be close to him and not blow up glassware." I laugh.

She laughs as well. "Let's go."

As we walk out of the ladies room, I tell Kira to head back to the table and I will join them in a moment and I want us all on the dance floor by the table when I return. I am about to do something I have never done before. I am about to dedicate a song to someone I have just met and hope he understands what it means. Handing the DJ a slip of paper, I head back to the table.

JPOV

Emmett walks over to us and tells us that he has found Kira and her friends and that they are waiting at a table on the other side of the club for us right now.

"Eleazar, Carmen, why don't you go around the outside wall and get a good view point of where we will be sitting close enough for you to get a read if possible on Nasreen. If you want to stay the night you can or you can head back to the house with Carlisle and Esme," I suggest.

"That sounds like a plan Jasper," Eleazar agrees. Taking his mate by the hand, he walks to the other side of the club ahead of us.

We walk over to the table where Kira is waiting with four other people and we somehow seem to line up in pairs with our singers.

"Everyone, these are my siblings; Edward, Alice, Rosalie, and Jasper. Guys, these are Kira's friends; Emma, Fiona, Raell, and Nasreen."

Edward and Alice introduce themselves to their respective singers, and when it is Rosalie's turn, Raell welcomes her to his life and she thanks him.

Damn, I think, don't tell me I just witnessed an imprinting in New Hampshire. He can't be a Quileute.

I look at the two of them, then at my siblings, as if to say what the hell.

Finally, I look at Nasreen and she almost whispers, "Hello Jasper, it is nice to meet you." She is glowing that lovely golden red color again.

I don't know what makes me take her right hand in mine and drawl, "The pleasure is all mine, Nasreen," and place a soft kiss to the back of her hand.

At the point I kiss her hand the red glow starts to expand. We are standing next to the table and on top are a couple glasses and bottles. The glass closest to us all of a sudden shatters as the red glow from her body hits it. Everyone turns their eyes to us as she sinks into a chair and blushes beautifully.

"Nasreen, are you ok?"

"I...I'm fine."

Kira checks in with her as well and the exchange is a little odd, but I let it go for now. We spend the next hour just chatting and getting to know each other a bit more, though Rosalie and Raell have not said anything to anyone but each other in the entire time. While we are talking, I spend a lot of time watching Nasreen, trying to make sure she is ok. As I watch, I see her looking at me with the same look of concentration. Then I notice a tear slip down her cheek. I look toward Edward to see if he maybe he had heard her thoughts. He quickly says, "Later."

"Nasreen are you ok?" I hear Kira ask.

"I need to talk now," Nasreen tells her, and they excuse themselves.

Kira leads them down a hall. As much as I want to hear their conversation, I block it. A few minutes later Kira comes back to the table without Nasreen.

"Is everything ok?" I ask, worried that Nasreen is not with her. "Where is Nasreen?"

"Don't worry Jasper," Kira tells me. "She'll be fine. ‘And so will you if you let her'." She whispers this last part. "She said she'd be right back, and she wants us all on the dance floor when she gets back."

"And what Mistress wants Mistress gets," Fiona replies and gets up to get ready to go the dance floor.

I see Nasreen heading back over to the table still glowing, but it seems to have calmed slightly. She is moving to the music as she walks over to us moving her hips sensually to "Buttons" by The Pussycat Dolls.

"Come on, Bitches," Nasreen orders. "I said on the dance floor when I got back."

I have never seen people move so fast for humans in my life. They nearly jumped the railing to get on the floor with her. We figure "when in Rome" as it were and join them as well. I normally wouldn't have joined them but Kira's comment had me intrigued ‘if you let her'... what? I have to say this girl definitely knows how to move, and I find myself wanting to move in closer to Nasreen the way that the others are dancing but I don't want to scare her so I keep a respectable distance.

We are still dancing and the next song to play is "Promiscuous Girl" by Nelly Furtado ft Timberland. She is moving so beautifully, her body entrancing me, and I am not ashamed to say that I was glad I had chosen to wear a looser fit jean tonight. I have been so fixated that I didn't notice that she has moved in closer to me until I feel her hands take mine and place them on her hips. If my heart was still beating I think it would have skipped a few beats. I look over her head to see Emmett grinning from ear to ear at me. Managing to compose myself and take my cues from her, I begin to move with her. At one point in the song, I manage to take her hand and spin her around so that she is facing me. I can see that the red glow around her body is getting more intense the closer our bodies are in contact. We keep dancing this way through the song, with her facing me, our legs intertwined with each other.

When the song comes to an end the DJ's voice comes over the speaker.

"How are you all doing this evening?" he yells in the mic. He is greeted with screams and cheers.

"We are doing something a bit different right now. Now if this didn't come from one of our regulars I wouldn't be doing it, and well it helps that she looks smokin' tonight, too," he says. "She asked that I play a song for someone here tonight. She wants to hear "Undisclosed Desires" by Muse for her Undisclosed Desire. So here you go."

I recognize the group but haven't heard the song before and wasn't sure if a Muse song is something a dance club would usually play, but it is upbeat and something easy to dance to. Nasreen had moved to face away from me as the DJ had started speaking so I place my hands on her hips again without prompting and start dancing again. I listen to the lyrics as we are dancing and find them oddly telling, as if they are for me.

I know you've suffered,
But I don't want you to hide,
It's cold and loveless,
I won't let you be denied

Soothing,
I'll make you feel pure,
Trust me,
You can be sure

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart
I want to recognize your beauty's not just a mask,
I want to exorcise the demons from your past,
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart
You trick your lovers,
That you're wicked and divine,
You may be a sinner,
But your innocence is mine

Please me,
Show me how it's done,
Tease me,
You are the one

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart,
I want to recognize your beauty's not just a mask,
I want to exorcise the demons from your past,
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

Please me,
Show me how it's done,
Trust me,
You are the one

I want to reconcile the violence in your heart,
I want to recognize your beauty's not just a mask,
I want to exorcise the demons from your past,
I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart

As the song comes to an end, I hadn't realized that Nasreen had turned and is looking up at me as if to see what I thought of the song. The lights in the club are coming up and the DJ is wishing everyone a safe ride home. I look down at Nasreen and it feels as if I was coming home for the first time in over 140 years.

We say our goodbyes to our new found friends and hopefully more. Before Nasreen leaves, I take a chance and give her a quick kiss on the cheek then I ask "May I call you sometime?"

She blushes. "I would like that very much."

We exchange phones, enter in our numbers and hand them back. I noticed my siblings doing the same, and with that we take our leave of each other.

As we climb into Emmett's Jeep, I scroll through my contacts coming across Nasreen White. Eleazar and Carmen had left while we were dancing; I am guessing he had gotten all he had needed.

We drive home in silence, each of us thinking of what had happened during the night. We pull up in front of the house and park the Jeep next to Eleazar's car and walk inside. Our parents and Eleazar and Carmen greet us.

"I gather the rest of the night was uneventful," Eleazar chuckles.

"If you mean did anything else blow up, then no, the rest of the night was quiet," I comment. "On the other hand, we may have a Quileute on our hands."

At that, my family burst into screaming and cursing I had only heard in the most seasoned of soldiers.

"What do you mean we may have a Quileute?" Carlisle asks.

"Well when Rose was introduced to Raell, he looked at her like the earth had stopped and welcomed her to his life," I explain. "And he does fit the look of the boys from the rez."

"But what would he be doing here?" Carlisle wonders. "Ahh... well a question for another time. Right now we need to figure out what happened with Nasreen. Did a glass really shatter?"

"Yes, it did. And I notice that every time I get closer to her, the red glow she gives off tends to expand exponentially."

"And the more intimate, the faster it grows." Emmett laughs. I throw a pillow at him, knowing it will do nothing but it makes me feel better.

"When did you leave Eleazar?" I ask.

"Shortly after the glass incident, why?" he asks.

"As we were talking, she became very focused and started to cry a bit, then needed to leave. When she came back it was like nothing had happened and we spent the rest of the night dancing. Did you manage to get a read on her at all?"

"I think I may have an idea as to what the glow is that we are seeing around her. I believe it is her aura. In her belief, the aura of a person can help determine how a person feels and whether or not they are in need of healing or are good or evil."

"Did you happen to find out anything about her colors?"

"Knowing that you would ask, I did. The golden color that seems to be her base color is typically the color of enlightenment and divine protection, a person who is guided by the highest good. The green you saw that night is the sign of a healer, someone who is very compassionate. And the reds, that seemed to be in an over-abundance whenever you are near her dear boy, is typically associated with passion, sensuality, love, and affection."

"That does seem to fit in with the scattering of thoughts I was able to pick up from her," Edward tells us. "Is it possible she is able to read auras as well, Eleazar?"

"I believe that she can, given that a lot of witches trained as healers tend to be, why do you ask?"

"When we were talking after you left, Nasreen was focusing on Jasper and I could hear her thoughts going from beautiful soul, to who hurt him so badly that he blames himself and why does he struggle and if he would just let his guard down and let someone in, maybe me... and that is when she started to cry."

"She picked that song didn't she?" I ask Edward.

"Yes she did. She walked back to the table thinking about what she had just done and how she never requested songs for virtual stranger before, but it just seemed right."

"What was the song Jasper?" Carlisle asks.

"It was ‘Undisclosed Desires' by Muse. The chorus is ‘I want to reconcile the violence in your heart, I want to recognize your beauty's not just a mask, I want to exorcise the demons from your past, I want to satisfy the undisclosed desires in your heart'."

"That's beautiful," Esme sighs.

"Now knowing what she saw looking at me, I can see what she thought by the song. So, now we know what the glow is, but do we know what caused the glass to shatter?"

"I believe that she has the ability the manipulate energy similar in how she would use Reiki, but on a higher level," Eleazar explains.

"Along similar lines to Benjamin in Egypt?" Carlisle asks. Benjamin is a vampire in Egypt who has the ability to bend the elements to his will.

"Yes, but not to the same extent. But if I were still with the Volturi let's just say Aro would have a new pet." At those words a growl escapes my throat.

"Thank you, Eleazar, for all your help. You have given us much to think about." And with that Carmen and Eleazar say their goodbyes and leave for their home in Alaska.

"Well, this certainly is an interesting turn of events, now isn't it?" Emmett asks.

"It most certainly is," Carlisle agrees.

"I think I am going to go and try to clear my thoughts, but I will see every one later." I say as I head up the stairs to my room and head out to the balcony to stare up at the sky and wonder if Nasreen is looking at the same stars. As I stand there, my phone goes off with a text message.

I open my phone and see that it is from Nasreen. It is only two words, but it touches me as nothing has in decades.

Sleep Well.
