HIS RIDDLE | JASPER HALE

The Weeknd

The week went by quickly. Edward hadn't returned to school and Bella kept asking questions. Jasper and I became an official couple. Today is the shopping trip with the girls. We were in Rosalie's red convertible, heading to Seattle. 

"I want to go to Chanel first and then maybe head to Gucci," Alice said

"Okay, then let's head to Versace. I want a new dress for date nights with Emmett," Rosalie replied

"And I want to go to Armani and Prada," I responded

We continued driving to Seattle. Alice cut a 4-hour drive down to a 2-hour drive so we were there soon enough.

We went to all of the stores and spent a ton of money. Alice outshopped both me and Rosalie. We had to make several trips back to the car. We were currently at the last store. Alice was trying on a dress while Rosalie and I were sitting on a couch.

Alice walked out, modeling the dress, "So, Elara, what's going on with Jasper"

"He's so gentlemanly. He knows exactly what to say," I gushed

"When's the wedding?" Alice teased

"Alice!" I laughed

"Seriously though, how do you feel about him?" Rosalie asked

"Like he completes me. He can take the pain of the past away without even using his gift," I reminisced, "I think I'm falling for him."

Alice and Rosalie glanced at each other, smirking slightly. "So, I was right asking when the wedding is?" Alice inquired

"Maybe. In the future. We're still in high school," I replied

Alice squealed and pulled me in a hug. Rose laughed at us and joined in. 

"Come on, let's go home. We can finish girl's day off with movies," Rosalie stated

We paid for Alice's dress and headed to the car. Alice put her bags in the back and we got in the car. We began our 2-hour journey back home. When we got there, we headed to their rooms to put their bags down. We changed into comfortable pajamas, I borrowed some of Rose's. I took my shirt off, not thinking about it.

"Oh my god! Elara, what is that?" Alice screamed. I looked down and saw 'bloodtraitor' carved into my stomach. Courtesy of my mother.

"It's just a scar," I shrugged

"That's not just a scar. What happened?" Rosalie asked, concerned

"I suppose I should tell you since you've seen it," I said defeatedly, "Sit down, you'll want to." 

They sat down on Alice's bed and I began, "Last year, the wizarding world was fighting a war. I was in the middle of it since my father was the cause of it and it was my destiny to help defeat him.

He had these things called Horcruxes. Fragments of his soul that he split to keep himself alive. He had this weird fear of death. 

So, a few friends and I went searching for them. There were seven in total. We had to find them and destroy them. One day, we were captured. We had this old relic, the sword of Godric Gryffindor. When we were captured, we were taken back to my old home, the Malfoy Manor.

When my mother saw the sword, she believed we took it from her vault. She had the fake version in her possession. We told her we didn't break into it, she didn't believe us.

She tortured me and my friend Hermione. She tortured her because she was a muggle-born, she was impure of blood. She tortured me because she wanted revenge. She wanted revenge from me betraying the dark side.
