A Witch Thing

4️⃣

Jasper, Elizabet, Cole, and Alice arrived at school together. She looked at the school she'd visited one time and sighed. Alice threw her arm over Elizabet's shoulder and told her, "Come on."

Jasper chuckled and had her walked with him while Alice walked with Cole's hand in hers. Once inside, Jasper helped get Elizabet's schedule so she knew where her classes were.

Cole asked, "You sure it's the best idea to start school again with all advanced classes?"

Elizabet shook her head, "Nope, but hopefully I've studied enough to be able to handle it... at least a little."

He shrugged, "Okay." He looked down at his schedule and said, "I gotta head out. I'll see you in third." She nodded at him as he walked away with Alice, who had class with him.

"What's your first?" Elizabet asked.

Jasper said, "Same as you. We'll have most classes together."

She eyed him suspiciously, "Did you arrange that?"

He slowly responded, a smirk on his face "Maybe a little." She chuckled and they both headed off to class.

Finally, lunch had rolled around. Elizabet sat next to Jasper at the Cullen table, looking uncomfortably around her as people stared. "Why are there so many eyes on us?" She asked.

Jasper glanced around and sighed. Emmett spoke, "You're the new kid sitting at the Cullen's table."

Edward added, "People are surprised... and confused."

Rosalie shook her head, "Don't worry about them. It'll wear off soon."

Elizabet nodded and shifted uncomfortably in her seat, slowly eating her food. Cole asked, "How was class?"

Elizabet shrugged, "Kind of boring."

Jasper chuckled a little, "She says she studied too much. She already knew what they were teaching."

Alice smiled, "Does that mean no more study group? I love hanging out with you, Elizabet, but I'm tired of studying."

She rolled her eyes and told her, "No more study groups...for now."

Alice fake pouted and Elizabet kept eating. Or maybe "picking at her food" was a better word for it. Jasper nudged her shoulder, "Something on your mind?"

The others pretending not to listen, having their own conversations to but out of theirs. She shrugged, "Well, it isn't just a dream. It was vision..."

Jasper asked, "What kind?"

She looked up at him, recalling the vision she had. The witches were hurting him, using a spell to stop him...or worse.

Elizabet shrugged again, "Not a good one, I can tell you that... You're in it."

He gave a concerned look and said, "Is there anyway to avoid it?"

"Don't think so. I do know that, based on how it goes, we live. I think, I'm not certain." She said, digging in her mind for any clues. "Witch visions are weird." She muttered, rubbing her temples.

"Well, in the meantime, you need to eat." He said, moving her plate over. She smiled and started eating. She did need to if she was going to drag through her next classes.

Back at home, she threw her bag in her room and went downstairs. Carlisle smiled at her, "How was your first day?"

She shrugged, "Long. I knew everything."

He chuckled and Esme told her, "Well, you did study for hours beforehand. Come eat."

She set a plate down for her and she thanked Esme. Jasper sat next to her while she ate, making sure she actually ate. She still wasn't used to eating so much, James used to have her on two meals a day.

But she ate, nonetheless, and then went to her room to practice her magic. Jasper joined her there, too. He was a great help and she enjoyed having him around. Elizabet also had a sneaking suspicion he was still on edge from Victoria's last visit before summer started. So as she practice, Jasper worked as a practice dummy since none of them were lethal spells.

After she practiced, she had a nap and Jasper left her to it. He closed the door softly behind him, and she slowly drifted off.

The witches from before were crouched over Jasper, their hands outstretched as they chanted. He yelled as the spell made its way to him, actually hurting him. Elizabet yelled and stuck her hand out as well, pushing them away from him. They went flying into the wall, their backs hitting it hard before they fell to the ground in pain.

She rushed to Jasper while he tried to fix himself, still recovering from the spell those witches had been using on him. She quickly put a shield around the two of them so the witches couldn't hurt them. They slowly stood, rubbing the backs of their heads. They turned to them both and brought up their hands again. Elizabet snarled, "Do it and I'll hurt you."

The witches stopped and a new anger seemed to rise in their faces. The redheaded witch in the front sent a bright ball of magic toward the two of them.

Elizabet woke up quickly from the dream...or the vision, gasping for air as she tried to calm again. Jasper came through the door, coming to her side and pushing calm toward her. She let it in and allowed his gift to work over her.

He asked, "Hey, it's okay. Calm down, calm down." He told her softly, a hand on her cheek. Elizabet's eyes locked with his as she caught her breath. When she was calm again, she spoke quietly, "The vision, there's more."

"How much more?" He asked.

Elizabet bit her lip, "I have no idea. I need to train, I need to make sure I have the magic." You got out of the bed to grab your grimoire.

His eyes followed her when she started moving, "To do what?"

"To protect you."

"From what?"

She stopped her movements, slowly looking back up at him, "I don't know yet."
