Don't be annoyed at me; I know Edward was supposed to be the only one of the Cullens who knew the singer term but I find it more than plausible that Carlisle, who'd spent so much time with Aro's coven, would have heard it before. There's tiny little deviations from canon like that here and there (Now that I think about it, no one might have noticed unless I said something) but just roll with it, okay? Also don't know how to play chess, so I might have gotten some of the moves wrong. If you want to complain about it, however, feel free to do so in the reviews. I love reviews, even the complainy ones.
Oh, and on a less disturbing note, there's some gore in this chapter.
Jasper's POV
Esme ran towards us, and while they wouldn't have been enough to stop me, it was enough to bring me to my senses.
Surprisingly, the rest of the family didn't rush home from school. We waited for them in the living room, though I was thinking about bailing before they came back. This didn't look so bad right now; I had come home when I felt I couldn't handle myself, showed self control. Carlisle and Esme both seemed proud, but shaken. It was definitely a close call.
It was going to be a different story when the others came home. If they didn't already know somehow, Edward would read my thoughts. He'd realize that the girl saw me, maybe even saw me move too fast to be a human. More so, he'd realize I was going insane.
"You don't have to go back yet," Esme said soothingly as she sat down in the chair across from me. I was grateful for the space.
I nodded. I almost told her that the circumstances weren't normal, that if that girl hadn't shown up, I'd have been fine.
"Was there anything in particular that gave you trouble?" Carlisle was still standing behind me, but he was giving me space too. He sounded compassionate, as he usually did, but I still hesitated to say anything. I wasn't ashamed, but it was strange for me to explain myself. I never was much one for words or expression and I was getting uncomfortable, but I decided not saying anything at all would just make them more insistent. I sighed.
I used my ability to show them how I'd felt when I caught her scent this time. How I'd never wanted anything more. I wasn't going to tell him that I had experienced this before. I definitely wasn't going to tell him what happened then. If anyone would understand, it would be Carlisle, but reliving that memory would push me over the edge. I'd repressed it, along with many others, and unleashing it would in turn release Major Whitlock. I instantly shook the thought.
"Oh." Carlisle looked surprised once I let go of his emotions, which was rare for him. He exchanged a concerned glance with his wife.
"What?"
"Carlisle thinks you may have found…well, we call it La Tua Cantante. I guess it doesn't happen often enough to have a proper term."
"That doesn't explain much."
"I'm not positive that's what it was, Esme. It'd be nearly impossible, if not outright so, for him to control himself if that were the case." He looked annoyed at himself, "I don't mean you personally, Jasper. I meant anyone."
"I can't say I understand."
"It's not unheard of, Carlisle." She gave him a meaningful look before looking over at me again, "La Tua Cantante—your 'singer'—it means a human who smells particularly wonderful to a certain vampire, irresistible even."
I actually thought I'd heard of something like that before. I hadn't thought about it being the case with me, though. I only thought that her scent was so amazing to me because of how I'd felt for her.
"It's probably a simple case of chemistry." Carlisle clarified, "but this is a very serious issue. We can't risk—"
"I'll find some way to deal with it." I got up; despite the tug of emotion I felt from Esme, and headed upstairs.

I'm not sure why I still played chess. Occasionally, I'd use a chessboard to help me think of strategies for combat. It wasn't exactly the best way to stop thinking about the past.
I was playing both sides this time. White always moved first.
His newborn army rushed at us from across the field, impossibly fast and ravenous. Their eyes reflected the flames all around us, highlighting their insanity. I smirked at the fear emanating from both sides; I was long immune to that feeling.
I pushed a black knight into position.
The head of the attack didn't expect me to come at him from the side. I felt horror dawn on him only when it was too late. I'd leaped over his defenses and my hand was already around his neck, followed soon by my teeth.
Venom rushed through my mouth as I tore his throat from his neck, flinging the flammable liquid everywhere. Even the crazed newborns were stunned by my savagery as I tore him to pieces. They probably hadn't known that they still had some hint of their human organs left; stone, petrified but still there. His were everywhere.
By the time I was finished, there was no need to burn his remains.
"Holy shit." Emmett exclaimed from the doorway, "you look awful, man."
"Thanks." I smirked, already knowing what he meant. My eyes were probably darker than he'd never seen them, and the marks under my eyes probably gave some hint to how much of a monster I really was now.
"So, uh." I liked Emmett because he wasn't too sentimental, but I could tell by his awkwardness that this was going to be some form of 'heart-to-heart' thing. He sat down across from me, putting the chess pieces back into place so he could play, "Carlisle and Esme are…you know, worried. Because of the singing thing."
"Yeah." I couldn't imagine why they sent Emmett to talk about this.
"I just figured I should let you know that…you know, I know what that's like." His brow furrowed for a moment as he thought of the best move for a white rook, carefully picking it up and putting it into place.
"It happened to you?" I absentmindedly pushed a piece in return.
"Yeah. Twice, actually."
I watched him. That was another thing I liked about Emmett, my expression, or lack of it, didn't both him. I seemed cold and intimidating to most vampires and not just because of the scars, but Emmett didn't seem to notice. I wasn't going to ask him to tell me anything else, but I knew he was going to so I waited.
"I killed them both. Well…her." He sighed and sat back in his chair, "you're going to think I'm batshit crazy but she was exactly the same both times."
Remorse, hunger, confusion, exhilaration. I could read the emotions pouring from his memories, but apparently he hadn't been in love with her. Apparently, I just had the worst damn luck.
"No. I don't." I told him, calming him, but his eyes grew darker, "we'd better get something to eat."
Bella's POV
The sand felt warm and soft as I walked untiringly through the long expanse of desert. I'd been walking for days, but I wasn't thirsty or aching; just... lonely. There were no beautiful plants here, no exotic looking wildlife, but I knew everything would be alright soon as I walked towards the setting sun. Rays of dying color bid farewell to me as the sky darkened into the deepest velvet blue, but I could still see a dot of incredibly bright light at the base of a far off mountain. I hadn't seen that before...
That wasn't what I came here for…I'd been looking for something else, but this bright golden-white aura distracted me and I drew closer, hypnotized. At this distance, he looked like a fallen star and despite being miles away I reached out to him gingerly.
The halo of light suddenly turned into a dark, blood red flame. He was coming at me, too fast and too strong and I was terrified.
I woke with a start, confused at the sudden appearance of the ceiling above me. I sat up, taking a moment to realize where I was. Forks. Charlie's home. My new bedroom. I wrapped my arms around myself...I was safe.
