Chapter 1

Luna's POV

I love my parents…I really do but when the relocate for their jobs my senior year of high school I tend to not be too happy. I'm currently sitting in my new room unpacking all my stuff while also mentally preparing myself for school tomorrow. My parents are both writers…successful ones at that but they wanted a change of pace. They wanted someplace quiet where they could write just to write…why they picked here I have no idea. I'm unpacking all my art supplies onto my desk when I hear a knock on my door frame.

"Hey sweetheart. Your mom and I were going to order some pizza, you want your usual?"

"Yeah." I say before returning to my stuff.

"Luna…"

"What?"

"We love you."

"I know."

"This change is good."

"Yeah…."

He sighs and leaves me to keep to myself.

So I might have lied…we didn't move out here soupy because my parents wanted to relocate, there was another reason. I was bullied…a lot. It hit it's peak last year and I went into a dark place. I didn't try to hurt myself or anything I just…withdrew from everything. I would get up, go to school, come home, and lock myself in room doing homework and working on my art. It's not that I did anything to be bullied I was just viewed as a freak. I have dark black hair with crystal blue eyes and pale skin, along with being an artist it wasn't easy for me to make friends. I had one…Atlas…but it wasn't enough to convince my parents to let me stay for one more year. Speak of the devil my phone rings and his name pops up on the screen.

"Hi." I answer setting my paint brushes down.

"How is it?" He ask.

"Dreary...it just keeps raining."

"Well it's just hot back here." I'm from Texas and before you ask no I don't have an accent, I was raised in the city.

"Then why don't you just come out here?"

"I wish." He laughs. "But hey your going to meet some new friends and it'll be great."

"Sure...you sound like my parents."

"We just worry about you."

"Yeah the only three."

"Lu..."

"It's fine...anyway write any new music in the last few days?"

"Nope still stuck."

"Well if you ever need inspiration Forks Washington is full of it." I smirk.

"Quoting your parents I like it."

Just then my mom comes in my room. "Hi Atlas." She smiles.

"Hello ." He yells.

"Ow Atlas you aren't on speaker, are you trying to blow an eardrum."

"Sorry Lulu."

"What did I say about that nickname?"

"I'm keeping it."

"Fine." I grumble.

"Luna dinner is here." yells my dad up the stairs.

"Alright Atlas I have to go but Ill see talk to you tomorrow."

"Call me after school I want to hear all about it."

"There won't be much to tell but alright."

"Get excited Luna."

"Bye Atlas."

"Bye."

That night after dinner I finally have my room unpacked and I'm sitting in bed drawing. I have several journals filled with sketches this one in particular is filled with people. I'm sketching Atlas right now, I plan to send it to him. He always laughs at me because I can never get his eyes right, at least I think so. I think this time I got it. I sit there drawing for another hour before heading to bed…big first day of school tomorrow.

When I wake up in the morning I see that it is in fact still raining. I sigh before changing into jeans, a flannel, and combat boots. I put my long wavy hair into a side braid and sigh, here goes nothing. I grab an apple on my way out the door and say bye to my parents before heading out to my car and getting in. I have an old bug that my dad refurbished for me and I love it. When I pull up to school I sit in my car for a minute before taking a deep breath and getting out. I quickly make my way up to the front office before going up to the counter.

"How can I help you?" smiles an older lady sitting at the desk.

"Um my name is Luna Anderson…I'm new."

"Ah yes I have your schedule right here, there is a map attached to it. Your locker number is at the top of the page with your combination. I just need you to bring back this sheet signed at the end of the day."

"Ok…"

"Looks like your first class is…English. It's just down the hall to the left."

"Thanks."

I walk down the hall till I find the classroom and look around to find a seat…there is only one open one in the back. It's next to this pale blonde kid and as soon as I walk in he looks at me. I quickly walk back to the seat and look at him.

"Is anyone sitting here?" I ask quietly.

"Go ahead." he says quickly before looking down…weird.

I'm about to ask him his name but our teacher starts class. I find myself drawing more than paying attention but I have two parents that are writers…Iv'e become pretty good with English. I discover that the kid next to me is named Jasper but only because he got called on. He looks stiff next to me and I can't figure out what his deal is. Once the bell rings he quickly gets up and walks out of class. I shake off the feelings that it's me and place the blame on him before heading to my next class. The rest of the day is uneventful, I sit by myself at lunch. Across the cafeteria I see Jasper sitting with a group of people, they must be siblings.I confirm my suspicion in Art class at the end of the day when his sister Alice sits next to me.

"Hi." she smiles.

"Are you talking to me?" I ask…no one ever talks to me.

"Yeah silly, I'm Alice by the way."

"Luna." I smile.

"That's a pretty name."

"Thanks."

"So you're new here?"

"Yeah…how did you know? Was it the no friends?" I laugh.

"No my brother Jasper told me about you."

"Surprising since he wanted nothing to do with me this morning."

"He is shy…"

"So that group you sit with, are you all siblings?"

"In a way, it's complicated."

"I'm all about complicated."

"Ladies less talking more drawing." says our teacher.

"I can multitask." I tell Alice.

"So can I. Alright so we are all foster kids I am an only child but Jasper is related to Rosalie the blonde who is dating Emmet, he is the big tough guy. Emmet's younger brother Xander is my boyfriend and then there is Edward."

"Wow." I laugh.

"Yeah…it's fun."

"You seem like the most outgoing…your also are the only one who has said a word to me today."

"You give off a good vibe, I wanted to get to know you."

"Thanks." I smile.

After class I turn my sheet into the office before heading to my car. I feel eyes on me and look over to see Jasper looking at me from across the parking lot. I quickly look away before getting in my car and heading home. When I get back my parents are both gone, something about running into town. I head up to my room and do homework before calling Atlas.

"Well hello there Luna."

"Hello Atlas." I smile.

"How was school?"

"Interesting…I did make a friend though."

"Good for you Lu."

"I think you would like her, her name is Alice. I'll introduce you guys when you come visit."

"Any cute boys?"

"Of course you would ask…No, as of right now no."

"Staying focused I like it."

"Yup…oh hey my parents are home can I talk to you later?"

"Yup, Bye Lu."

"Bye Atlas."

That night I'm sitting in my room sketching when I absent mind-idly start drawing Jasper. It's not that I like him I just think there is something about him that is different and I want to find out.

Jasper's POV

"Someone needs to get this guy a grizzly bear or something." says Emmet as we hunt.

"What's got you so worked up Jasper?" ask Esme.

"Guess who was at school today?" ask Alice.

"No." she says back.

"Yes." I say before attacking a dear.

"Isn't this a good thing though?"

"He is worried he will loose control." says Edward.

"Get out of my head." I growl.

"Woah chill Jasper." says Emmet.

"You've waited so long Jasper, aren't you excited."

"Not when her blood smells like it would make the greatest meal ever."

"Told you it would never work." says Rosalie.

"Well aren't you little miss optimist." smirks Xander.

"Ok enough." says Esme.

"She is human, it's not supposed to work…it won't work." says Rosalie.

"I said enough." says Esme. Everyone else goes off to continue hunting but she stops me. "Talk to Carlisle when he gets home."

"I'm heading back." I say.

"Jasper…"

"I'll come out later."

"Okay."

In case any of you are confused as to who I'm talking about and why I'm so worked up I will explain. Twenty years ago Alice had this vision of me finding my mate, that person is Luna. The only problem is that I feel like I could loose control while I'm around her, I don't want to get to close yet. Alice just had to go and talk to her today…of course she did. Anyway Alice has had several different visions about her since the first one and as much as I was excited now I'm just nervous and on edge. I walk into the house and walk towards the staircase.

"Jasper." says Carlisle from his office.

"What?"

"You're back early."

"Yeah."

"What's wrong?"

"Luna was at school…"

"Oh…"

"Yeah and I wasn't worried about control until she sat next to me…I don't think I can do it."

"It's going to take time Jasper."

"It's dangerous."

" Don't fight it Jasper."

"And what if I loose control, what then?"

"You have to be confident in yourself Jasper."

"Can we talk about this later?"

"Of course."

"Great."

I rush upstairs and close the door to my room running my fingers through my hair and I start to pace. What if Alice was wrong? But Alice is never wrong, it's a known fact. I mean she saw me coming to them, it's why she and Xander were waiting for me all those years ago. She had to be human, that just had to happen. I've never been attracted to a human's blood this much and it's throwing me off. I have enough self control to not do anything but what if it only last so long.
