JASPER POV
"Elle, are you serious?" asked Cassandra.
No, it seems that this time Elle brought back bad news. I had just reached the door of my house, right after Cassandra voiced her words. The moment the door creaked, it showed I was in the doorway. I could clearly see the expressions of my family as well as Elle, who had a more worried look on her face. She has been crying the whole time I've lived with her. Never once had I seen her cry.
"Jasper," Elle called.
I walked in, went to her, and hugged her body. At least. I hoped that with this hug, she could feel calmer. To be honest, I know where Elle went yesterday; it seemed like she was trying to find answers to her visions that Rosalie could change. By going to Dubai and meeting Niel in person. I don't know what results she got, but it seems that right now there are bad visions that she didn't catch.
"Jasper, Elle saw the elders kill us all," Cassandra said.
"They couldn't have killed us just because Jasper had a human soulmate. Even before Rosalie, they knew that Jasper had a human soulmate. They also knew that it would continue," Ethan said.
I sighed roughly. What was the problem that made the elders choose to kill us all? "Mark, was he also in that vision of yours, Elle?" I asked.
Seeing Elle nod made me rub my face roughly. Who else could manipulate the elders if not her? I'm really sick of seeing her play this time. Actually, what made her so obsessed with my life? Ah, more precisely, with my soulmate. What's wrong with having a human soulmate?
Didn't she herself also have one before eventually marrying a human whom she had infected into a vampire? If I remember how her first soulmate died, right after seeing me, I wonder: did she hold a grudge against me for making her soulmate die? But the point is, it wasn't me who killed her, right?
"Jasper, I can't risk it."
"Again?" I cut in. I knew where Ethan was going with this.
"Jasper, this is about all of our lives. I don't want to be the negligent head of the family."
"You've been negligent of your duty on that one, Ethan. You've been negligent for a long time! That's right, I've never been considered family, have I? How important is my life in your eyes, anyway?" I snapped.
I could feel that if Ethan was emotional, his eyes would turn bright red, and even his face would turn red. With his fair skin, it can be clearly seen if he is in a state of anger.
"Jasper, I never thought that. I always, always try to protect you all," Ethan said while holding back his emotions.
"Oh, really? So, why are you telling me to break up with Rosalie now?" I asked.
Yes, what else did he want to talk about, if not Rosalie? He wanted me to erase the girl's memory and leave her alone. What kind of plan is that? Was that the only plan he had? I am separating myself from my soulmate. Again and again. Always, and none of this applies to Elle.
"Jasper, this is all for your own good and Rosalie's. I just don't want her to get hurt."
"Ethan. It won't do any good if you tell us to split up. You should even know that yourself. You're killing me if you tell me to erase Rosalie's memory of me and everything that happened. Meanwhile, we never know the way Mark's mind is currently out there. Who just might be plotting to kill Rosalie?" I lamented.
Cassandra tried to calm me down, but it really didn't help me at all. I also had the right to protect what was rightfully mine. Why should I continue to follow Ethan's words?
"So you want to sacrifice your entire family just for your soulmate?" annoyed Ethan.
I laughed, just for my soulmate. What a ridiculous statement he gave me. Everyone knows that soulmates are more important than their own lives. "So what if the current case happened to Cassandra? Would you also do what you said to save your family?" I asked.
"Jasper, watch what you say!" annoyed Ethan. Already come forward, already tugging at my collar. Getting ready to kick me back.
"You told me to leave my world for you guys? Ha! Not fair," I said before a fist flew right into my face. It sent me stumbling quite far from the house.
Damn, Ethan's strength is unquestionable. I was thrown about 300 meters from the living room of my house towards the forest. Even so, Ethan still approached me and punched me once again in the grip. It seemed like he really wanted to kill me. Good, at least I was really killed this time.
"Elle, say it! Before Ethan actually kills Jasper!" yelled Cassandra from the other side, bringing me back to reality after Ethan had beaten me to a pulp.
"Rosalie's going to be a vampire!" shouted Elle.
Ethan stopped dead in his tracks, and so did I. It was hard to believe what Elle had just said: Rosalie was going to become a vampire. How could that happen? If Niel said Rosalie would lose her memory, then there would be no way for me to change it. Would someone, ha*m her later?
"Elle, you're not lying to stop me, are you?" Ethan asked.
"No, I really saw it. She became a vampire; there was Jasper next to her, and even us there," Elle explained.
I flinched; the pain from before just vanished. Did that mean there was still a chance for me to be with Rosalie? But suddenly I wondered: would Elle's vision not change this time? Or is this just a diversion? While there was silence, Mr. George came in and seemed surprised to see my messy state.
"Ethan, you were so cruel to Jasper," he snapped.
"Tell me what made you come over without an invitation," Ethan snapped.
"Not to you. To Jasper, son: Let Rosalie go," he said.
What is this again? Why is the universe so funny to me? Did I destroy the earth before? Is that why he's taking his revenge now? "What do you mean, huh?" I fumed.
"The elders will forgive you and Rosalie. If you were willing to part with her, Mark disagreed with the decision, saying that Rosalie should be killed. But the elders stood by their decision that no one would be hurt. Although they agreed to Mark's words in anticipation of a bigger rebellion," explained Mr. George.
Gosh, are there cameras here now? I really want to wave my hand. How can I only have one choice? Have my five centuries of pain here done nothing for them? Really, I don't want to leave Rosalie again.
Rosalie, should I do it for your sake too? I thought.
