“THE SAME THING THAT HAPPENED TO YOUR HAND,” Jasper answered in a quiet voice. “Repeated a thousandtimes.” He laughed a little ruefully and brushed at his arm. “Our venom¹ is the only thing that leaves a scar.”

　　“Why?” I breathed in horror, feeling rude but unable to stop staring at his subtly ravaged² skin.

　　“I didn’t have quite the same . . . upbringing as my adopted siblings³ here. My beginning was somethingelse entirely⁴.” His voice turned hard as he finished.

　　I gaped⁵ at him, appalled⁶.

　　“Before I tell you my story,” Jasper said, “you must understand that there are places in our world, Bella,where the life span of the never-aging is measured in weeks, and not centuries.”

　　The others had heard this before. Carlisle and Emmett turned their attention to the TV again. Alice movedsilently to sit at Esme’s feet. But Edward was just as absorbed as I was; I could feel his eyes on my face,reading every flicker⁷ of emotion.

　　“To really understand why, you have to look at the world from a different perspective. You have toimagine the way it looks to the powerful, the greedy . . . the perpetually thirsty.

　　“You see, there are places in this world that are more desirable to us than others. Places where we can beless restrained, and still avoid detection.

　　“Picture, for instance, a map of the western hemisphere. Picture on it every human life as a small red dot.

　　The thicker the red, the more easily we — well, those who exist this way — can feed without attractingnotice.”

　　I shuddered⁸ at the image in my head, at the word feed. But Jasper wasn’t worried about frightening me,not overprotective like Edward always was. He went on without a pause.

　　“Not that the covens in the South care much for what the humans notice or do not. It’s the Volturi thatkeep them in check. They are the only ones the southern covens fear. If not for the Volturi, the rest of uswould be quickly exposed.”
