Chapter Two: Family
Jasper lay out on the great lawn behind the Cullen's house, shirt bunched up under his head to act as a makeshift pillow. The vampire's eyes were closed, ocher orbs veiled by thin, translucent lids. The sun was out today, a rare moment made even more so by his leisure to enjoy it, rather than hunting with the family. He had begged off going along this time, saying that he wanted to see how long he could last, how long he could go and still resist.
Maybe that was true- but so was the peace, the quiet when he was alone. With super-sensitive hearing in a family of eight, it wasn't common that he could truly be ensconced by silence, privacy.
Not to mention that one of his brothers knew every thought that passed through your mind.
“I'm sorry if we're distracting.” Jasper's eyes flew open as he started up, staring into the warm, butterscotch eyes of his “youngest” brother. Edward was posed a few few away, sitting on the ground with his legs stretched out before him. “You know that there's nothing we can do about it.”
The blond rolled over on his side, contemplating Edward as he glimmered in the warm, mid-afternoon light. “Just because we can't change things doesn't mean we won't wish otherwise.”
Edward nodded slightly at this, lifting his chin a fraction. “Would you really? Wish otherwise?”
He didn't have to be a mind-reader to read the cause of the sudden black hunger in his brother's eyes.
