4. Once Upon a Southern Night

Someone I used to Know

Warnings: None, except trigger warnings for slavery and the Confederacy

“Preston,” Jasper hissed, pushing you behind him with nearly bruising force. He was an entirely different persona, his cool, collected poise was replaced with this steely, merciless character you swore you’d never witnessed before.

“How long has it been exactly? 157 years? 160? I can’t remember, time passes so slowly now. When we were humans, it seemed to fly by so fast.”

He approached the two of you slowly, his hands clasped behind his back. Jasper gripped your arm so harshly, and held you so close to him so you could hardly get a good luck of his face.

But from what you could tell, the man was gorgeous. His skin was pale as the moon, features perfectly proportioned and striking. He seemed to ignore you for now, turning all his attention to a seething Jasper.

“I don’t know why you’re here,” he warned, “but I left that lifestyle a long time ago. If you want Maria, she’s probably still in Mexico City.”

“I don’t desire to dismantle Maria any longer,” the man said. “In fact, she and I are on good terms actually. When Nettie and Lucy kicked the bucket, and you left the coven, we shared several more battles and skirmishes. But now we can call each other friends with similar goals.”

Jasper growled lowly and spoke in an authoritative voice that was not his. “What the hell does that mean?”

The man finally glanced down at your shivering form. “That girl you’re holding down is mine. Her name is Camille Lafayette, and she belongs to me.”

Jasper narrowed his eyes. “Camille? What are you talking about, Captain?”

“Captain?” you whispered fearfully, shifting your eyes to his. “Jas, what is he talking about? How do you know him so well?”

Preston unfurled his hands. “Jasper and I fought in the Confederate army. He was my Major and I was his Captain. His brother used to work on my father’s plantation in Louisiana, and that’s how we know each other. We were both created by the same woman, Maria, and we both aided her during the bulk of the latter 19th century Southern Vampire Wars.”

Your eyes widened. “V-vampires? You mean—”

Preston’s whole demeanor changed. “You mean you haven’t told her? I thought she was supposed to be your mate? What, are you trying to make her die of old age?”

Jasper glowered at him. “What do you want, Preston?”

“I want what you’ve been keeping from me. I want my gift, the one thing my father bought me before he died, Major. I want my Camille.”

“She’s a human, how could she have possibly survived so long and so young?”

The Captain shook his head. “That’s my business, not yours. And if you don’t hand her over peaceably, I’ll take things into my own hands.”

Jasper shifted his weight, pulling you on his back in one move so quick you hardly noticed the change in elevation. “You know you can’t beat me in a fight, Lafayette. You tried to kill me before, and that didn’t work out too well, did it?”

“No, it didn’t. Not when we had hungry newborns fighting all around us. But I promise, when I get my hands on, you will experience the worst pain imaginable when I rip your head from your body.” He stepped forward.

“Y/N, I’m going to need you to trust me, okay?” he said. When you didn’t answer, he yelled out your name.

“Yes?”

“I’m going to get you out of here, but first, I’m going to have to deal with him.”

“Oh, we won’t be fighting today,” Preston promised. “I have other things to attend to before I deal with you. And as for that family up north, if they decide to intervene, I’ll send my armies to slaughter them too. And this time, my old pal, it won’t be just newborns.”

He walked away into the night from whence he came, the moon shining on his glistening black hair, and the warm light of the barn melding into the shadows. When he was gone, Jasper finally set you down.

“I have to get you back home,” he said, more to himself than to you. He grabbed you tightly by your arm and led you to the house where the rental car waited.

“Can you please tell me what’s going on? I’m so scared, baby. He kept talking about vampires—is it true? And, if that’s the case—why am I still alive? Was I—did he used to own me?”

“Y/N,” he barked. “Please calm down. I will tell you everything in a minute.”

You climbed in the passenger side, and immediately, his phone rang.

“What’s wrong? Why are you coming back so early?” Alice frantically asked. You didn’t know how she knew so quickly, for neither of you had even contacted them. After all, the events quite literally just transpired.

“I met an old friend of mine—more like an enemy now. Captain Preston Lafayette II. He served under me in Galveston. For some reason, he claims Y/N was around back in the sixties, and that his family owned her.”

This time, it was Carlisle’s voice. “How is that even possible? Did he say?”

“Nope. Wouldn’t even give me the how or why. He’s even threatening her with Maria. Y/N. . .I think she’s gone into shock.”

“Y/N, honey, are you okay? Can you hear me?” It was your mother.

“I. . .I don’t—I don’t. . .what’s going on. . .going on?”

“Honey, you need to calm down. Take deep breaths for me, okay? Listen to my voice, alright? You’re going to be just fine.”

But instead of doing that, your eyes struggled to focus. The last thing you remember was Jasper touching the side of your cheek before you slipped into unconsciousness.

When you woke up, you were in the hotel room. Jasper had packed and gathered all of your things, and he was sitting by your side on the bed. His eyes trained forward on the city lights of Mobile before he noticed your awakening form.

“How do you feel?”

Something told you he already knew the answer before you answered it. You sat up and rubbed your eyes with the back of your hand, the sheets falling down around your waist. But instead of wearing your bright yellow sundress, you were wearing the pajama set Esme made you for Christmas.

He’d changed your clothes.

“I. . .I had the strangest dream,” you said, squinting at the light. “We were at the wedding and this weird dude in a tacky three-piece suit told me that y’all were vampires.”

“It wasn’t a dream. It’s all true. Yes, even the part about me being a vampire. It was what I wanted to tell you anyway, it’s why our family is so weird.”

You grimaced as you ran your fingers over the purple hand shaped mark blooming on your wrist.

“I’m so sorry,” he said, staring at his hands with disgust. “To put you in danger. To have the background I do.”

“I don’t know what you’re talking about,” you whispered.

The pained look only continued before it was quickly replaced with a neutral, ambivalent one. He pulled you onto your feet. “Get changed. We’re leaving for the airport in an hour.”

When you finally arrived home, you felt like your whole body was numb. There was not a trace of the sweet gentleman you fell in love with not too long ago. Instead, there was this cold, unfeeling Major who ordered you around and yelled if you moved one inch from his side.

Your mom scooped you into your arms and held your sobbing form. You longed for food and a warm bed, and you didn’t want to face anyone either. Yet now, it all made sense. The pieces all fell together.

Why they were so cold. Why they didn’t eat or drink. Or why they didn’t like being in the sunshine any longer than they had too. Why every time you woke up, they were always downstairs and awake like they’d never even slept in the first place.

“Y/N, I know you’re probably very confused. But there’s an explanation for all of this—most of it, anyway. But I need you to be open-minded and believe in the possible.”

Carlisle began to tell you the story of his family. And he began with his.

“Our father was a very strict man. He was an Anglican pastor during the 17th century, a time of political upheaval and chaos. He took up harsh raids in killing accused vampires, most of which were humans. When he got in his fifties—too old to keep up the mantle—he passed the torch on to me. It was horrifying, and I hated every moment of it. But I felt indebted to my father. I could not be an unfilial son. Fortunately—or Unfortunately, I’d actually managed to stumble across a coven of vampires in the sewers. The hunt ended brutally, and no one survived. But I was left bleeding in the street. . .transforming.”

“And while Carlisle was missing, I was tending the home. Mama died giving birth to Carlisle, so I was pretty much the matron of the household. I knew what he had found was potentially dangerous—that he’d either succeed and end up scarred for life or die trying. It turned out to be later. I tried to find out as much information as I could about the hunt, but everyone was dead or missing. About three years, when I finally turned twenty-seven—an age almost impossible to reach in those times—I found my answer.

There was this newborn vampire named Alexander Clements who just happened to wander into the church by mistake. I demanded he tell me everything he knew—the poor kid was so uneducated and drunk on blood that he had no clue that an iron cross couldn’t hurt him at all. He told me that Carlisle was still alive somewhere, but he didn’t know anything specifically. That was when he realized that my cover was a fake, and well, I’m changed to tell the tale. Halfway through it, he ran away when some of his old coven mates he’d abandoned caught his scent.”

“I spent a lot of my time studying medicine with the Volturi,” Carlisle explained. “The Volturi is a very complex group that serves as an authoritative force for our kind, that keeps messy vampires from exposing our secrets. After that, I swam to America and eventually turned Edward, Esme, Rosalie, and Emmett. Alice and Jasper came a little later.”

“And I kept traveling the countryside. I knew Carlisle was out there, but I had no clue where to look or who to trust. Back then, any vampire was competition, and they were especially excited to wipe out newborns. So for a century or so, I made loops around Europe, aimlessly. I shifted back and forth from human blood to animal blood, but I never really could stay one way or another for too long before slipping back into my old habits.

In 1770, I finally met your dad, Samuel Robynson—the man you can’t remember. He was turned a very long time ago, centuries before the Cullen family was even thought of. And he’d developed self-control that even rivals mine and Carlisle’s today. He accepted me as his friend, and we even grew to love each other.

For a long time, it was very peaceful. We spent time all over the world—from Ireland, his homeland, to Japan and South Africa. Life was happy—sad at times for the moments and milestones we’d never reach as vampires—but still, happy. I heard reports of a vegetarian doctor in America by some local covens, but I never went to see for myself. I guess I didn’t want to get my hopes up—or that we’d be too different after so many years apart.

Then, in (----), we decided we were tired of living the same way year after year. The Volturi has a rule that keeps humans from knowing the secret of vampires, and we were not going to go against that. But we wanted a family, someone other than another vampire who we’d have to deal with like a ticking time bomb.

So we looked into adoption agencies and chose a tiny little place in Louisiana. You were so frail and adorable, and Sam was so proud to have a daughter of his own. We decided we would move back home to the countryside where he grew up—but that plan was ruined when we encountered a coven of rogue vampires.

They wanted to visit us but didn’t know we had you around. Your father fought as hard as he could, but he didn’t survive the attacks. In the end, they burnt his body and our little cottage, and I had to deal with them on my own.

Too overwhelmed with the emotions of Ireland, I moved us to Mobile where I raised you all by myself. Nobody ever questioned my aging, and no other vampires ever challenged me—or even knew where we were. I wanted to tell you the secret but knew I had to turn you afterwards. So I waited until you were sixteen before we moved to see my brother. I was for sure it was him at that point.”

Tears streamed down your face as they told their stories. There were still so many more to go, but no time to give them justice. One day, you decided, you would learn what it was like for your cousins.

“And that’s why it doesn’t make sense about Preston,” Jasper growled. “You were clearly born in the (--)th century. How could you be a slave in the 1860s?”

Just then, Emmett walked back into the house carrying a bright red slip of paper.

“Uh, Y/N, you have a letter. . .”

You picked up the paper and it was warm—radiating heat, in fact. You read the words aloud which were scrawled in golden ink as your mother and boyfriend glanced over your shoulder.

“If you want to know the truth and keep her alive, find me at 1700 Pearl Avenue, New Orleans, Louisiana.”

Your mother gasped, bringing a pale hand to her face.

“Oh Y/N! How could it be! How could they have known?!”

“What is it, sister?” Carlisle asked, touching her shoulder.

“It’s the place. The hospital where I adopted her.”

And before you say it, Jasper’s not a racist. People change, and it was never outright stated that he was a racist in the first place. He was most likely bigoted and held racist views during those days, but by the first Twilight book, he’s long put aside his past and actively tries to be a better person. Besides, what does it matter? To Jasper, humans are all the same. They all have blood, and they all are tempting. He doesn’t give a flip about whether or not they’re black or white.
