Hidden ||Jasper Hale||

Seven : Vampire

I cry in Jaspers arms for hours. It starts to get dark.

"Cameron, darlin' we should go." Jasper says.

"I guess we should." I say. Jasper helps me up. I shiver as the cold breeze gives me goosebumps.

"Here, take my sweater." Jasper says. He takes his sweater off and puts it on me. He is left with a tank top.

"Thanks Jaz, but you've gotta be freezing." I say.

"It's ok, I have a good cold tolerance." Jasper says.

I see something move fast around us.

"J-Jasper. Did you see that?" I ask.

"Yeah." He says. "Stay close to me." He says. I wrap my arms around his torso.

"Well hello." Someone says. A pale girl with reddish orange hair walks towards us. She suddenly runs 100 miles per hour around us.

"Listen Nomad, but now isn't the right time." Jasper says. He growls at her.

'WTF IS HAPPENING?!??'

"Victoria, back off." A darker man says.

"Ugghhh. I need a snack." The girl says.

"I'm sorry for this." The darker man says. "We will leave you alone." He and the girl walk away.

I didn't notice that my heart is beating out of my chest and it is starting to hurt. Everything goes dizzy and I pass out.

                                        ***

"Cameron, wake up darlin'." I hear someone say. I open my eyes and see Jasper. I hug him.

"W-what just happened?" I ask. I am laying on a brown couch.

"It's..... A long story." Jasper says. "You might not believe me."

"Trust me, I will." I say.

"Well, my family and I are....... Vampires." Jasper says.

My eyes widen. I'm scared, but not of Jasper.

"Why are you scared?" Jasper asks.

"I-I'm not scared of you." I say. "Wait, how did you know?" I ask.

"How you were feeling? Well, when you get turned into a vampire, you might get a gift." Jasper says. "I am an empath." He says. "I can read and control the emotions of others."

"Have you ever controlled my emotions?" I ask.

"That's the thing, I can read them, but sometimes I can't control yours." Jasper says. "I'm not sure why."

"Jasper, w-what do you e-eat?" I ask.

"My family and I feed on the blood of animals." Jasper says. "Not humans. We consider ourselves vegetarians." Jasper says.

"Oh." I say. "Wait? Where are we?" I ask.

"My house. I sent Charlie a text saying that you were sleeping over at a friends house." Jasper says.

My eyes get a little heavy.

"You can go to sleep darlin'." Jasper says.

I immediately fall asleep in the comfort of Jasper's sweater.

                                        ***

I wake up and see Jasper wrapping my wrist.

"Mornin' darlin'." Jasper says.

"Morning Jaz." I say. "Oh crap! School!" I say.

"Whoa whoa whoa." Jasper says. "You had a long night. You should stay here for the day." Jasper says.

"But I have to confront Charlie later." I say. "About me being... adopted." I say. I start getting nervous. I feel a little calm.

"Did you just do that?" I ask Jasper.

"Yep." Jasper says.

We hang out for a few hours.

"Cameron, did you ever think that we could be more than friends?" Jasper asks.

"Y-yeah." I say.

"Cameron, I like you. A lot." Jasper says.

I smile. "I like you too Jaz." I say.

"I would kiss you, but I'm not the best with control." Jasper says. He kisses my forehead.

We lay on the couch together and then I look at my phone.

"Ugh. I have to go confront Charlie." I say.

"I'll drive you there." Jasper says.

Jasper drives me to my house and I get out of the car.

"I'll see you tomorrow Jaz." I say. I walk inside the house.

"Charlie, I need to ask you something. I need your honest answer." I say. "Am I adopted?" I ask.
