From The Snow (Jasper love story)

Chapter 1: Long time

Everyone sat laughing in the living room of the Cullen house in Alaska. Nessie was sitting playing with Emmett and Jasper at scrabble. It has been six years since Nessie was born and Bella turned. Carlisle sat reading a book with Esme, while Alice and Rose were sitting talking with Bella. Jacob was sitting next to the naked fire, soaking up the heat. While Edward sat watching his daughter beat his two brothers.

" How do you always win?" Emmett cried while Nessie and the others just laughed at his bruised ego. Nessie shrugged and finished off the game. She looked to Alice with a smile.

" I am hungry." She spoke to her. Alice nodded and stood up. Her small boot heels hit the floor and moved their way to the kitchen.

" I will make you something." She said as she entered the kitchen that was separated from the living room by an arch in the wall. She began to make Nessie a simple sandwich seeing as it was a only two in the afternoon. The sunlight dulled by the clouds sparkled off the snow both on the ground and the flakes that fell softly and gracefully down from the grey sky. Alice smiled, but stopped when she was pulled into a vision. She saw a back figure walking out of the forest, it was female and was equipped from head to toe in weapons of all varieties. Her brown eyes showed nothing, no emotions what so every.

"Carlisle." Alice said softly. Carlisle was instantly by her side along with Jasper and Edward. They looked at her worryingly. Edward knew what she saw and was upset by the vision. Jasper looked at her with a questioning look. He could feel her and Edwards emotions switching between fear, worry and angry.

" What is it?" Carlisle asked his daughter. Alice looked up at the blond haired man. His golden eyes searching her for an answer. Alice looked at him with a worried look.

" She is back." She whispered to him. Carlisle's back straighten and his demeanor became more defensive.

" How long?" He asked unable to cover his anger and fear from Jasper.

" Now." She whispered to him. Everyone stiffened as they news of her arrival entered their ears. They had to be careful with her. If they were not and they let their guard down, the family will longer be living the way they are now. Last time they got off lucky. But this time, could be completely different.

" Where." Carlisle said as he marched out the kitchen, followed closely behind by the others.

" At the clearing not to far from here." She informed him. Carlisle nodded.

" Nessie and Jacob stay here. Everyone else come with me." Carlisle ordered the family. Everyone followed their orders as they made their way out of the house and towards the clearing.

" How did you not see this coming? " Emmett asked Alice a bit upset as they ran to the place where they would met her.

" You know my visions are based on decisions." She said to him. He nodded back in return, understanding what she meant now. They all stopped when they arrived at the large snow covered clearing, in the middle of a large forest.

The first thing the vampire coven noticed was the strong smell of blood. It did not take long for the source of the smell to show herself. Her black shoes hit the fresh untouched virgin snow, leaving behind footprints. Her left arm hung limply by her side as tiny drops of blood fell and dyed the snow crimson. The sound of metal clanging together from her daggers strapped to her waist mixed with the noise from the arrows strapped to get back in a quiver was the only nose to hit the Cullen's ears.

The woman was dressed in total black with two swords strapped to her back underneath her quiver. A zig zag sword on her left side waist and a small black pistol on the other side. A bow held firmly in her right hand with a deep leather brown arm guard. Her face was covered by a black hood and mask with a leather jacket over a black polo neck and a black under bust corset, decorated with silver buckles.

Jasper could not sense any emotions from her and Edward was unable to hear a thing. Carlisle stood at the front of the defensive family. Esme standing strong next to him.

"Well, it is nice to see you again. " Carlisle said trying to stay polite to her. But the figure continued to walk towards them without a single word. She pulled her hood down and took of her mask throwing it to the ground. Her brown hair fell down on small waves and her pale face shining brightly. Her red lips would be enough to draw any mortal man to her. Deep brown eyes trained themselves onto Carlisle.

" I wish I could say the same." She muttered as she dropped her bow onto the snow. She was only about twenty five meters from the Cullen's, but that was far enough for her. With a smile her pulled out her pistol and held it in her right hand. She aimed it directly at Carlisle's head. Jasper and Emmett took immediate action and ran to the female, teeth showing as they barely even touched the snow beneath their feet. They were over in an instant but not fast enough. The woman pulled the trigger, firing a round. Emmett then reached her, quickly punching her in the stomach, hard enough to send her flying but not enough to kill her.

The woman flew through the air and landed on the snow with a thud. Everyone turned to Carlisle who stood there unfased by event which just happened. The bullet had missed him by a inch to the right of his face. The woman laugh loudly rolling onto her back, Jasper looked at her and ran over too pin her down so she would not cause any more trouble for then. She was now on her knees with Jasper holding her shoulders tightly. His touch felt weird to her, tingles almost.

" Nice. " She whisper as she spat blood out her mouth. Jasper trying to keep his cool with all this blood filling his nose with its delicious smell. Blood coated the woman's teeth as she smiled.

" You miss on purpose." Edward said now able to see her mind for a spilt second.

" yeah!" The woman said like a maniac. Her eyebrows moved up to the hairline of her forehead. A smile that screamed insane formed on her lips. Jasper's tight grip loosened so slightly, that if the woman wanted too, she could have easily broke out from his grasp. But she stayed where she was. No longer interested in fighting. She then began to cough and spat more blood onto the snow. She then controlled her breathing before her eyes looked to the ground.

" why?" Edward asked with a confused look. The woman just looked at him like he was crazy. She then turned her gaze to Emmett.

" You have a good hit but if you wanted to you could have killed me with that one hit, so why didn't you?" she asked looking at him. Curiosity cutting every word. Emmett shrugged his shoulders making a small noise. Her eyes then went to the blonde on the other side of the field, Carlisle.

"Truth is, I mean you no harm. I actually came here to cash in that favour that you owe me." Carlisle nodded to the woman. His eyes then went to Jasper's golden eyes, with a look jasper reluctantly release the woman's shoulders. The woman's hand went up to her arm as if to ease the pain. Bella's golden eyes looked to Edward's for answers, seeing that she had no idea what was going on. Edward looked to his mate, his wife with sad eyes.

" I can see that you are injured. Why don't you come back to our house and we can discuss your favour there, while I treat your wounds." Carlisle muttered to her. Edward looked distastefully at has a adoptive father.

" Very well." The woman muttered. She stood up with ease. But everyone could see she was in pain. Jasper felt a ping of remorse for her, he then felt angry at him self for feeling such emotion towards her. She is his natural enemy and he was feeling attached to this woman. He growled lowly.

" But you have to promise me that you will not bring any harm to me and my family." Carlisle said in a strict and strong voice. The woman nodded at him not having to say a word. Edward then made his way quickly to Carlisle side.

" You cannot be serious, You cannot allow her into our house, you know what she is capable of." Edward growled lowly at Carlisle. Carlisle looked at his son as he pressed lips together to form a small thin line.

" this is my choice. I owe her a lot, she saved my life once, she saved the family." Carlisle informed him. With a low growl, Edward grab Bella's arms and marched off with her. Jasper then placed his hands firmly around the woman's right arm. With a nod to Carlisle everyone then made their way back to the house. Emmett stood by the women's left side as Jasper stood by the women's right. Ready to fight if they had to. But Jasper and Emmett had a hard time controlling their thirst as the smell of her blood was so tempting to them. But their years of self-control had paid off and before they knew it, they arrived back at the house at the house.
