Margaret Allie Brandon (Jasper's Mate Story)
Margaret Allie Brandon. A 17-year-old girl stuck living with an abusive guardian since her mother died in a car crash. The same car crash that left Margaret alone in the world, scars running down the right side of her face, neck, and all the way down to her waist. A girl that can't even seem to remember a time she didn't have at least one bruise from her guardian. A girl that stays away from everyone that she can, never letting anyone close to her because if she begins to trust them she dreams of how they die. But then at the start of her senior year something changes, she meets a guy that makes her question everything she'd ever taught herself about trust, love, and even the future. She meets Jasper Cullen.
Jasper Cullen. Over 140 years old as a vampire. Stuck forever at the age of 19. He had gone through most of his immortal life wondering what the point was. He had been a Major in the Southern Vampire Wars. Years that had left him scarred and pessimistic towards the world around him, until he had met a small vampire in the 1940s that gave him his first bit of hope. It was by Alice's hand that he met his immortal family, and he was thankful to have gained such a family. But even still, he longed for more at times but was doubtful he'd ever find it. Until that was the family started the cycle over again this time in Rochester, New York. It was already predicted to be the cloudiest year on record and was decided to be a good place to spend the year. It was there, sitting in his first class at the human high school that he met her. The girl with black curls and blue eyes, with blood that seemed to scream to him for help rather than seem like a meal. It was this girl which started to give him hope. This weird, mysterious, Margaret Allie Brandon.
