Robyn

It was already November nearly time for Thanksgiving. Glancing behind me, I saw Peter pacing yet again. The human contact so far had given us so many different Jasper names across the United States it was becoming impossible to check every one. Most of the names we searched on social media sites. Images seen turned out to be yet another dead end. It was becoming increasingly obvious the more we thought about it, we were going to have to go vampire.

Peter was pretty much against that idea.

"I don't want to risk it," he said, "most are too afraid of him and that puts you in danger. We can't have the Volturi knowing about this."

Peter had managed to tell me about the vampire coven in Italy that governed the vampires with an iron fist. Apparently our mating of a triad was dangerous to the Volturi. They couldn't find out about me still being human and knowing about vampires. It just creates a bigger risk for all three of us. Jasper could be oblivious to this whole situation but that didn't take away the risk on his part.

"Peter, stop pacing," I say returning to staring out the window. It was raining and sliding down the windows at an alarming rate. Yet again a cloud of thunder could be heard practically right on top of us.

"I can't help it, Robyn. We need to find Jasper yet every lead we get is a damn dead end," he says throwing up his hands in annoyance.

I glance at him with a raised eyebrow, "I've said what we need to do countless times yet you won't hear me. I'm the incompetent human who can't come up with good ideas. This is Jasper we're talking about! Regardless if he wants either of us, I'm still going to be changed. Being human is a mute point right now. We both know this why the delay I haven't understood yet."

Peter rolls his eyes, "We aren't having this discussion again."

I groan turning back to the window as he leaves the room. Peter wants to wait for my transformation until after we find Jasper. Unfortunately, it might not be that simple. He constantly says my being human puts me at risk, yet he won't change me. While I care immensely for Jasper, I don't have high faith that he will accept me. Peter would be a different story because according to him, Jasper has the ability to feel others and control their emotions. He could have easily figured out what Peter is to him. I always worry that they will love each other and I will be left alone once again.

I push up from the couch turning toward the fireplace. The wood is beginning to get low and I know I'll have to employ Peter's help. The stack pile of wood is in the barn a few distance from the house. Peter stored most of the wood for the fireplaces in the barn before the two day storms. Suddenly I hear the start of water from upstairs and realize that Peter has once again decided to take a shower. He's not exactly dirty but he knows that I won't bother him in the shower.

I shrug my shoulders and walk to the door. Peter doesn't exactly listen very well in the shower for my presence. I can easily grab a couple of logs for the fireplace myself and hopefully be back before he steps out of the shower. At the back door, I grab my rain boots and Peter's water resistant coat shrugging both on and pulling up the zipper. Stepping outside after I grab my key, I move down the steps in the direction of the barn. I can only hope that I make it back to the house before he gets out of the shower. Peter is over protective, it's more than a little annoying most of the time.
