This is my first go at everything really, and i am a little nervous. i do not own Twilight or any recognizable characters.

Jasper Whitlock was destined for greatness. His path was chosen for him on the battlefield during his mortal years, by the only being who has the power to pick and choose who will rise to be a god amongst men.

During BD when Bella is practicing her shield and things aren't going so well. Jasper starts feeling a little desperate with the lack of combat training from his fellow vampires, and he begins to reminisce with Peter and Charlotte. When memory lane brings back a certain memory long since forgotten. (A world where Alice and Jasper didn't take off)

Please review, and let me know what you think, i am really looking forward to your comments.

It had been a tiring day it seemed for everyone. Jasper could not be entirely sure why that was when the only thing everyone seemed to do was crowd around Renesme or watch as Bella tried and failed to gain control of her shield. Jasper had tried to voice his concern of the lack of training to his wife Alice, or really to anyone that would listen. But no one wanted to dismiss this idea in favor of placing all their faith in Bella's future ability to successfully bring up her shield. He would admit that offence was important, but defense was just as if not more so important, and for everyone to brush it off completely was confusing to him. Emotionally exhausted and a little more than frustrated Jasper decided to take a break from the Cullen home and its guests in favor of visiting a creek that lead to a small lake deep in the forest. Jasper stood before the lake and took a deep unneeded breath in through his nose. Although he could not feel it him self, he knew it would be getting much more colder soon, they did not have a great amount of time before the water droplets turned to pure white flakes. Feeling a presence beyond the tree lined behind him Jasper called out.

"Come on out brother, unless you want a kick in the ass." turning around Jasper watches as his old brother in arms emerges from behind the trees. Hands in his pockets and his head bowed as a sign of respect Peter walks towards Jasper.

"Major."

"Peter." Jasper watches as Peter walks past him to sit on a flat bolder near the edge of the water.

"Watchya doin out here man?" Peter asks as Jasper walks forward to join Peter on the large rock, while looking out into the still waters.

"Just need a break to think."

"What, about that shit-pile back there?" Jasper turns to Peter with a glare in his eyes. Peter puts his hands up in surrender, with a crooked grin on his face.

"I'm just kiddin man. I'm sure things will all work out handy dandy in the end. Your new sister will learn how to master her shield in this short amount of time, the Voltori will head home peacefully, and we get to walk away alive, well at least in a matter of speakin." Jasper looks at Peter with hidden humor behind his eyes while he tries looking serious.

"Now that aint funny."

"I thought it was a little funny." both men jump at the unexpected voice that came behind them, both turning to see Charlotte strolling up to them to sit next to Peter.

"What in the hell,"

"Baby you nearly made me shit myself." both jasper and Peter yell at the same moment. Scooting closer to Peter while he places his arm around her shoulder Charlotte giggles.

"Now that's what ya'll get, leavin me up there with all them people I don't know. And I swear if that big boobed bimbo keeps looking at me like she smells something funny, I'ma pull that blonde hair right out of her scalp."

"Retract them claws kitten." Peter whispers into her ear while rubbing his hand up and down her arm, trying to ease away her anger, when he turns his head to Jasper.

"I hate to say it brother but she's right. Now why do I get the feelin your new family don't care too much for us. Do our red eyes not tickle their fancy or what?" Jasper let out a defeated sigh, he knew the Cullen's didn't feel comfortable with the people from Jaspers past. Looking up at his brother and sister Jasper let out one more unneeded breath.

"No that aint it. They're just a little weary when it comes to things from life before them, makes them a little nervous." hearing this Peter scoffed and gave Jasper an amused look.

"Ya, I can tell brother, and if they was just a lick more intelligent they'd be listenin to whatchya got to say, instead of gawken at that little girl watching her daddy tickle the damn ivory's. if they enjoy art so much they should hear one of your battle strategies, now that a fuckin masterpiece." Jasper lets out a small chuckle as he glances up at his old comrade.

"No , seriously you got them skills even before you where turned." Jasper looks up at Peter with a confused look on his face.

"How in the hell would you know that? You know I lost close to everything before Maria." Peter and Charlotte glance at each other for a small moment before turning back to Jasper. Clearing his throat out of nerves Peter confesses.

"I met a men about 10 years ago. Says he was changed some what 3 years before you were."

"What?" Jasper asks with even more puzzlement.

"Ya, we met him down at a plantation in Virginia, me and Char went as a vacation. Apparently he just sticks around there, he owns it. It's a bit aways from any town, not a lot of people visit it now a days. But we knew right away what he was, and we where the same, just as quick. His family had lived on that plantation since before the civil war, and he's seen some things since then. He started telling us stories about those things, about the beginning of the Territory Wars, and how he seen the God of War in battle before he was even turned." Peter and Charlotte both chuckled

"He was real excited when he told us that one." Charlotte said with humor in her voice.

"He said that you just about escaped death near every time you stepped foot on that battlefield, said it was the damnest thing he ever did see, even in the vampire wars." Peter finished with pride in his voice for is Major's accomplishments.

"Did he say anything else?" Jasper asks with an eagerness on his face and in his voice. Peter shook his head no.

"Just said there must a been a damn angel looking after you." Jasper lets out a disappointed huff.

"Ya right, a lot a good it did me." then Charlotte looks up with realization on her face.

"No, it would make sense. You where the youngest Major in the Confederacy. And if your human strategies where anything like your vampire strategies, they would have been complete suicide for a flesh and blood human. You would have died before Maria had the chance to get to you." Peter let out a laugh and gave Charlotte an amused look.

"Maybe ya need some blood baby girl, you're startin to sound a little loopy." Peter said trying to dismiss her ramblings, while she just looked at him with annoyance.

"I'm serous Peter."

"Sure you are baby. But now I'm serious, I'm hungry and since we are not allowed to hunt in this teeny tiny shit hole of a town, we must departed to Seattle. Catchya in the A.M. brother." Pausing to look down at his watch as he got up off the rock with Charlotte in hand, and seeing that it was already after two in the morning he restated.

"Well, at least when the sun is up." he said with is crooked grin and a departing wink. The mated vampires where gone in a instant. Choosing not to return back home so soon Jasper laid back down on the flat bolder and thought of the things said to him. And for once in many years Jasper thought of his human years, not quite sure how long he was laying on the rock, just flipping through his small and fuzzy memories when he felt a presence. This one was not coming from behind him but from across the waters a beyond the trees. And this presence was not familiar to him. Knowing it could not be a hiker, Jaspers mind jumped to their enemy.

"Voltori." he said with a menacing voice and fire in his eyes. With his vampire speed Jasper jumped from the rock and ran to the other side of the lake. Getting closer to the trespasser and preparing himself for a fight he knew he could win. Reaching where he felt the culprit was Jasper grew angry, for he could see no one. With frustration in his voice jasper shouted out.

"Show yourself!" turning his body back and forth trying to make out any silhouette, he let out a feral growl that would scare any beast away.

" Hello Jasper." turning towards the sudden voice Jasper gave pause. This person was not Voltori, and what surprised Jasper even more, she was not even a vampire.

Again first try at fanfiction, let me know what you think.
