《The Banshee (Jasper Hale x OC)》Chapter 27
Advertisement
Jacob came to sniff out the strangers scent at our house. He had been in my room as well...
"Whoever it was, he left his stink behind" said Jacob. Edward stood outside the house, he didn't trust Jacob. "It'll be hard to miss when we cross it again. We'll handle it from here"
"We don't need you to handle anything or anyone" said Edward and I looked angry at him.
"I could care less what you need" said Jacob.
"All right, we're done here" said Edward.
"No, you're done here" said Jacob.
"Stop!" shouted Bella. "I'm tired of this. From now on, I'm Switzerland, okay?"
I chuckled and walked back inside, I was so done with the drama.
Every day, the Cullens and the wolves at least tried to work together. The wolves took over when the Cullens needed to hunt.
Jasper was gone most of the time, and he didn't let me help as much as I wanted.
So most nights, I was alone again.
I stayed up late, since I noticed I only needed two hours of sleep these days.
Bella was in a bigger danger than me, so she often stayed with the wolves so Edward could hunt.
While I always stayed with the Cullens.
One night, I sensed Victoria again and Jasper and I went to check it out together with Alice and Lewis.
"Do you sense her?" asked Jasper and I closed my eyes so I could focus.
"She's going away again... on the right" I said and we began to run.
I saw Victoria's red hair, but she was faster than me. And she got away again.
"Damn it" I said and Jasper took me in his arms. "I hate this. I just want us to go back to normal"
"I know, darling" he whispered and kissed my hair. "Come on, I'll take you home, before Charlie notices that you're gone"

"Will you stay with me tonight?" I asked him and he nodded.
"I know we haven't been spending much time together lately" he said and I kissed his lips.
"That's not your fault" I whispered and he kissed me softly back.
"Emma" he suddenly said and he touched my face. "When we're graduated. What do you think about living together? Just you and me, in a little home. You having your own room to make art" he whispered and I smiled.
"That does sound perfect" I said and my eyes began to glow.
'Seattle, people dying...' I closed my eyes and they stopped glowing.
"I would love to live with you when we graduate" I said and he smiled.

The next day, Seattle was on the news again. It was about the feeling I had the night before.
I sat on the edge of the couch and Jasper's hand was on my leg.
"Seattle is in a state of terror. Police are baffled by the escalating murders and disappearances. Theories range from a vicious new gang to a wildly active serial killer. Reporting live..." said the news lady when Carlisle turned it off.
"It's getting worse. We're going to have to do something" he said.
"Every day, more people are getting brutally murdered in Seattle" I whispered, I could feel them die, it wasn't easy not to overwhelm myself.
"It takes more than one of our kind to cause the damage they're reporting" said Jasper. "Quite a few more. And they're undisciplined, conspicuous"
"It's newborns" said Edward.
I laid my hand around Jasper's shoulder and he looked up at me with his golden eyes.
"What, like new vampires?" asked Bella.
"In the first few months after the change" said Edward.
"That's when we're at our most uncontrollable. Vicious. Insane with thirst" said Jasper.

"Something to look forward to" said Emmett.
"No one's trained these newborns, but this isn't random" said Jasper.
"Someone's creating an army" said Carlisle.
'Jasper has been in a situation like this before, when he first turned. When Maria turned him...'
"Well, now we're definitely going to Seattle" said Emmett.
"An army of vampires?" said Bella.
"And they've been created to fight someone" said Jasper.
"We're the only clan even close to Seattle" said Edward.
"Regardless of why they were made, if we don't put a stop to them, the Volturi will" said Carlisle. "I'm surprised they've let it go on this long"
"Maybe they're behind it" said Edward. "In Italy, I read Aro's mind. He wants me, Alice and Emma to join him, but he knows we'll never choose him as long as our family's still alive"
'He wants me to join him? First I'm hearing about this...'
"An army could solve that for him" said Jasper and I felt him tense up.
I took his hand and intertwined our fingers. I knew he was worried about me, but I just wished he trusted me a bit more, I could protect myself.

One evening Bella and I found Charlie looking over the missing person's poster of Riley Biers. He went missing a year ago...
"Hey" said Bella. "Did you eat dinner yet?"
"Uh, no, I haven't" said Charlie and he sighed. "This kid, Riley Biers, disappeared over a year ago, and his poor parents have been papering Seattle with these things ever since"
"You think they should just give up?" asked Bella.
I focussed on Riley's face, but I could only sense death. He was long gone...
"Well, I wouldn't if it were either of you" said Charlie. "Not ever"
I smiled, I was happy to know that Charlie considered me part of the family.
But it also made me realise that one day I would have to leave this family, since I won't age anymore...
~
"Emma, are you okay?" Jasper asked when he sensed my sadness.
"Not really" I sighed and snuggled into his chest. "I was just realising something"
"What?" he asked.
"That one day I would have to leave this family. I won't age anymore, people will find that strange" I sighed. "I guess it's starting to hit me, that's all"
"I know it's hard, darling. But, in a few decades everyone you know will be gone" he said and I nodded.
"I know, doesn't make it easier" I said and he kissed my hair.
"I have found a nice little house for us. It's close to the woods, not too big" he whispered and I smiled.
"Room for a dog?" I asked and he chuckled.
"Yes, darling. Room for a dog" he whispered. "Now, try to get some sleep. I promise I won't go away"

Humanity's End
Given a year to prepare by the mysterious ‘system’ for contact with the wider galaxy, humanity must work to ensure the Earth’s defense is ready to meet any challenge. Sadly, most of the world seems dedicated to tearing itself apart as the year-end deadline gets closer. The west is in barely contained Chaos, while the east descends into internal conflict and war. The Pillar Forts, one of the few successful projects of the United Nations headed by the United States, stand ready to defend humanity against any invasion that may come through the strange Connection Pillars that appeared on each continent. Massive steel and stone walls that surround the Connection Pillars. They are filled with deadly men and women trained in all manner of warfare, each trained in the newly acquired System with skills and magical abilities that they put to deadly purpose. Beside these brave warriors, tanks, helicopters, artillery and more stand ready to defend humanity at each of these powerful installations. But, can they overcome the disparity in levels and experience between themselves and the forces that threaten them and the rest of humanity? Main Characters Jessica Brown- A young African American girl. Her 18th birthday in Detroit was the same day the systems message appeared. She discovered she was Level 7, much higher than most of the rest of the world. Why she is blessed, or cursed, with the power she doesn’t know. But what she does know is that she rather likes the feeling that comes with manipulating magic. The week after her birthday, government workers started testing every person in the US in a massive census effort of skills and abilities. Jessica Brown found herself conscripted into the US Magical Corp, a new branch of the US Military, and shipped off to a Pillar Fort. Somewhere hot and muggy in her ancestors’ home of Africa. As she grows stronger, she finds she has some connection to the pillars. While everyone else sees beauty or danger when they look at the pillars, after connection is made all Jessica can see is a Tree. A tree the size of the entire universe. Isaka Smith - is a third generation American and farmer who just wants to be left alone. But she is dragged into the situation by events beyond her control. When people in her small town had to deal with rioters and looters after the system announcement, she rallied them to defend themselves, earning her a trait that the government found extraordinarily useful. After a visit to a local reservation, she finds herself conscripted to lead one of the many small support towns erected around the great pillar forts. Not near her old home, but in far-flung Africa. John McIntire, the “Fighting Bull” -The commander of the African Fort, but because of circumstances beyond his ability to contend with shortly after taking command after being re-activated from retirement, he finds communication with his chain of command increasingly difficult. The US government, hell, even the United Nations, seems to have fallen into complete and utter chaos. The African Union is embroiled in a bitter civil war just outside his door, and supposedly, most of the world governments are in similar situations. Meanwhile, John must do his best to be ready to facilitate diplomacy, or to match the hostile argument of whatever force might come through the pillar of light when the year timer finishes counting down. Can our heros defend Earth from outside threats, while it tares itself apart? Or will they need to rebuild from the ground up? DEDICATION: This story is dedicated to my father who passed away recently. Jim Holloway, you’ll be missed you old silverback gorilla. Love you dad. Always have, always will.
