Dusk

First part of the Elias series.

"Mind if I sit beside you?"

Elias really wanted to say 'no'. One, because Jasper's scent was still irresistible. And two, because he didn't know what was going on in Jasper's head and if they were going to have that confrontation or not.

Why couldn't they just stick to talking only when Jasper had to tutor him? It was like the world was trying to throw Jasper in his face just so he could embarrass himself. He honestly had no idea how it went from seeing Jasper across the room to now sitting with him on a bus like friends.

"Um...sure," Elias instead murmured with uncertainty. Big and vibrant green eyes nervously scanned the quickly filling bus with dread. But Jasper didn't talk to him beyond that initial question though. He just sat quietly beside him, his posture as straight as ever, even when the bus started moving. Maybe he was like a prison warden, silently standing guard to make sure Elias didn't spill his family secret...

It was one thing to die. But to wake up as a cat hybrid trying to navigate a new supernatural world has made Elias life hundred times more difficult. Adding to meeting the Cullens, especially the tall, honey blonde vampire who's scent was Euphoria?

Living had just gotten so much harder.
