A Thousand Years

Chapter III

(Jasmine's 'DJ' POV)

It was the day before the confrontation with the Volturi. Jacob and I had brought back some wood, I placed my arm load down, then him, and then Benjamin lit it on fire.

"That's what I'm talking about." Jacob said, as the crackle of fire could be herd. He sat down next to Benjamin, and I sat down next to Jacob. "A little pre-battle bonfire, telling war stories." He then looked up at the others who stood still. "Or standing there like freakin statues." I laughed, as did Benjamin.

"Name any American battle," Garrett zoomed over, sitting on the log next to me, "I was there."

"Little Big Horn." Jacob stated.

"I came this close to biting Custer, but the Indians got him first." Garrett motioned with his fingers as to how close he was to biting Custer. I zoned out, I just watched the fire burn, until Jacob lightly pushed me, I looked at him.

"What's your story, DJ?" He asked, I smiled, my blood eyes meeting Garrett's.

"Three years ago I was walking home from a pub, in London. My friends had invited me out, since I didn't have to work the next day, I went. It was nearly two in the morning when I was walking home. I turned a corner and saw three men bugging someone, I went to turn away, but a fourth came up behind me. He was touching me, I slapped him, he slapped me, then a gun went off." I lifted up my shirt and showed them my gun wound on my stomach. "Garrett then found me, choking on my own blood. He turned me, ever since then he's been my third father and my best friend."

"What do you mean, 'third father'?" Liam asked.

"I never knew my birth father, I was adopted by a Scottish couple, where I was born. They raised me and my younger brother; Dylan. Don't get me wrong, I love my adoptive parents, but Garrett's definitely been the fun dad." Garrett kissed my forehead and held me close.

"How did you get that scar?" Vladimir asked.

"My very first boyfriend. I was 17, it was our one year anniversary and he had surprised me by taking me to a beautiful restaurant and to a inn after. We were kissing and his hands started to roam. He wanted to have sex, but I didn't. I wasn't ready. He got angry, smashed a wine bottle and used the shards to cut my face." I explained, lightly tracing my scar.

"I hope you got your revenge?" Stefan stated/asked.

"I did, when Garrett turned me, he asked what I wanted to do first. I told him I wanted to find the four arses who shot me, then go to my ex. Let's just say all five of them won't be having children. Ever." I smirked.

"Remind me not to make you mad." Jacob said, we laughed at his comment. "How old are you, anyway?"

"Vampire, human, both or combined?" I asked.

"All the above." Benjamin said, I smirked.

"Well, human I'm 19. Vampire I'm 3 and combined I'm 22." I stated lightly kicking some snow.

"You're going to loose track after you reach 100." Kate stated, I laughed at her, well all laughed and joked, trying to lighten what was to come tomorrow morning. And what was coming my way as well.
