Aria smiled at Aria. She Orina weel enough that she knew Orina was nervous, although anyone could probably tell. She followed off after the others grabbing Orina. "I don't mind where we go. . ." she said "after all I'm no giving the tours and don't know this town."

Orina nodded in agreement, "Ditto," She smiled weakly. "I suggest that Bella decides." She offered her suggestion out in the open.
Out of the corner of her eye Orina noticed a figure dash behind a building next to them. 'Strange,' she kept to herself and thought nothing more of it.

Aria noticed the figure too. She pulled away from Orina and turned with clenched fist. She knew immediately 'vampire'. Not just any vampire but one that seem ready for attack. "Umm. . .Edward." she said unknowing whether he could feel it or not 'Might want to hide Bella' she thought not wanting to cause alarm.

Edward tore his gaze from Bella and snapped his head up. Aria's silent warning came at the same moment he grabbed Bella and thrust her behind him so he was between her and the unseen figure that had flashed across the periphery of his vision.
"Stay back," he told her quietly over his shoulder. Edward tensed and took a step towards where the figure had been moments before. His eyes were glued to the scene before him, ready to catch even the slightest hint of movement. The air was still. He couldn't catch the vampire's scent and yet he knew that's what it had been. A human couldn't have moved that fast...
When nothing happened, he addressed his next words to Aria, still keeping his eyes peeled forward.
"I suppose now would be a good time to ask again," he said, his voice deceptively light. "You did come here alone, right?"
There were only two other alternatives. Either it was another Cullen, unlikely but possible, or one of the three vampires Alice had seen in her vision. Edward lifted his arms from his sides an inch or so to better shield Bella behind him. If it was the latter of these two, he was going to be prepared.
He prayed he was wrong.

Jasper had been just walking around town, he had stopped by the hospital to see if Carlisle had needed any emotional help with any patients. He said no, of course. Carlisle would never admit to Jasper that one of his patients was in pain beyond the normality or particualary aggresive. But he had known how much the whole James issue had bothered him, even at work. He could feel it.
Then the blond vampire saw his family. Jasper smiled but then it was wiped off when he suddenly felt a surge of anger coming a ways away from his right. He started toward the two people who had just started fighting. Jasper sighed, did humans always have to get so angry over things that seemed ridiculous? He started calming them down even before he was in talking disatnce. "You know, I suggest that you calm down before someone calls the sheriff." The two men looked at Jasper like he was a threat to thier fight but they were already calm and walked away from each other.
Jasper had already been walking away toward the people he really wanted to see. He did get slightly annoyed when everyone was not only feeling anxious but acting anxious. Was making people calm the only thing they needed him for? One of these days I'm just going to go up to a group of people and purpousfully make them all hate each other. It'd add some change to the calm effect. he thought to Edward. His family, including Bella, Orina, and Aria should be starting to feel calmer.

Edward immediately relaxed. It was Jasper. He almost laughed.
"I suppose it amuses you to go sneaking around and scaring us all half to death," he said, torn between annoyance and relief. And yet he found himself smiling at his brother all the same.
"It seems we're all a bit on edge lately." Edward paused and sent Jasper a slightly bashful look. "Sorry about the...almost attacking you thing."
He turned to the vampires behind him and clasped his hands behind his back. "Jasper, this is Bella's cousin Orina, and Orina's friend Aria. Aria, Orina, my brother Jasper," he said, pointing out everyone respectively.

Aria nodded to Jasper glad that a fight wasn't going to break out. That was the last thing she needed. Although now she had to even more careful that another Cullen joined there group. Another one that could overpower her. It confirmed her early suspicions that she would be watch 24/7 while she stayed here. "There are others here?" she asked. She was able to pick up that much from Edwards reaction. "Regular vampires that is?" "

Alice fought the urge to run up and hug Jasper. It seemed like forever since she'd seen him, even though it was really only yesterday, and even though she'd known he'd return shortly it seemed as if it would be eternity since she saw his face again. She felt a feeling of calmness spread through her, starting in her head and trickling down through the rest of her stone-cold body, and she didn't fight it, allowing Jasper to work his magic. She turned to Aria, her eyes finally a playful butterscotch, and replied in an icy voice, "Of course there are--you think other vampires wouldn't view the rainiest city in the U.S. as a good hunting ground? Bella and I happen to be one of the most vicious's prey. He's stalking us right now, actually, but he won't succeed until next week or so. After that, I'm not sure what he'll do. But he'll probably decide within the next few days, and then I'll be able to plan ahead."

Orina didn't know what was going on when everyone started feeling anxious. Edward instinctively pulled Bella behind him and when this happened, Orina knew that something bad was bound to happen. Suddenly though, this 'Jasper' popped out and everyone calmed down. Orina peeked out at the Jasper (she had taken refuge behind Aria) and studied him intensely. After assuming that he was a friend of the Cullens, she felt safer. She realized that he was also a vampire and felt even more uncomfortable than ever. 'I'm really not getting used to this vampire thing.' She thought to herself. 'even though I myself am a vampire.'

Jasper could feel each and every one of the feelings from the people around him. Jasper nodded toward Aria and Orina in that southern gentlemen type way, he'd always kept that from his human days for some reason.
Aria and Orina were very wary of the Cullens but of course did not show it. Edward was thinking of Bella and the James issue, of course. Bella was thinking about the same things only more intense. Then from Alice, he felt the usual powerful feelings that came from all of her feelings. Right now she felt fierce love and uneasiness.
Knowing all of these emotions, Jasper could not make himself calm or even slightly happy. Jasper's eyes met Alice's and quietly moved to her side and took her hand. "We must stop him before he gets too close to Forks. I have a feeling that he has more vampires under his command and most of them are not newborns. They would be experienced in fighting and killing, this means if we don't stop them soon, they will do a lot more damage then what Victoria did. It would be extremely dangerous....for everyone."
