Chapitre 13: Chapter 13
"You're able to suppress the urge already? How is that possible?" Jasper asked from the side as he looked at Jack with shock in his eyes.
He himself had been trying to gain better control over the urge and still hadn't been able to master it even after years of practice but here was Jack who had done it in seconds.
Jasper had clearly sensed it when the lid was opened, in fact even he had to try and hold himself back when that lid opened but Jack had made it disappear in seconds.
What was even more shocking was the degree to which he had managed to suppress it.
Even Carlisle had a small part of it left after centuries of being a vegetarian vampire but Jack had none right now.
No overbearing emotion of jumping on the blood and drinking it all, none.
It was both shocking and a little frightening to Jasper.
Jack had only just awoken from his transformation but he was able to walk normally already and had even managed to suppress the vampiric urge on the first try.
Jack turned to face the Vampire Empath and shrugged his shoulders.
"I just did it," Jack said as he looked at him.
[ Charisma check ]
[ Charisma required 6 ]
[ Charisma Check Failed ]
'This bitch, why is that check so high huh?' Jack thought to himself as he looked at the small blue panel that had appeared in front of him.
*Sigh*
Releasing a slow and long sigh, Jack opened his mouth once more as he said.
"My ability helped me" That was all Jack said and then turned his head back to face the Thermos.
Taking it into his hand, Jack finally brought it to his lips and started drinking.
Even though the system had suppressed the urge, Jack still thought that the blood was the tastiest thing that he had ever tried, he didn't even know something could be this delicious.
*Gulp*
Gulping down the last of the blood, Jack put the thermos down and then cleaned his lips from where some blood had slid down to his chin.
"I get why it's so hard to control yourself against this stuff, you can get addicted to its taste, and I'm sure human blood tastes much better doesn't it?" Jack asked as he looked at Carlisle.
Carlisle gave a nod and then said with a twitching smile.
"It doesn't seem like you're going to have a problem controlling yourself from what I heard Jasper say, however"
Jack nodded and then replied to the man with another question.
"For how long will my eyes stay red?"
"It usually takes about a month of not drinking human blood for them to turn amber-colored like ours" It was Alice who had answered as she looked at Jack.
"I guess I'll just have to use colored contacts until they aren't red then," Jack said as he got up.
"We can do that though I still wish to put you through tests to make sure that you are ready to get into human society," Carlisle said as he got up and looked at Jack.
"Can't we just skip that? You clearly heard Jasper say that I have already suppressed the urge" Jack said as he looked at the man.
"That's only animal blood, the urge to drink human blood is on a whole other level, we will still need to test that out before we can determine for sure that you are ready and even then I would still suggest that you wait for a week," Carlisle said as he looked at Jack.
After a moment of thought Jack nodded.
"All right, I'll stay for a week, how are you going to get the human blood however?" Jack asked as he looked at him.
Carlisle simply showed a smile and then said.
"I work at the hospital Jack, we always have some packets of blood over there if a patient is in urgent need of a blood transfusion," Carlisle said.
"Alright, I guess I'm going to have to wait until tomorrow before we can test that out huh?"
"That's right, it's a little too late right now, and I've already finished my shift at the hospital," Carlisle answered as he started walking back the way he and Jack had come from, toward his office.
"I still have some stuff to work on so I'll be going to my office, you can stay and do whatever you want Jack, Esme already made a room ready for you that you can use as your own," Carlisle said as he turned his head to smile at Jack and then headed up the stairs.
"All right, thanks I guess" Jack mumbled and then turned around once more, seeing the rest of the Cullens looking at him.
"I can go outside to the forest, right? As long as I don't go near humans" Jack asked as he looked at Esme.
Esme nodded and then turned toward Emmet.
"Why don't you accompany him Emmet and also tell him where our territory is so he doesn't end up getting entangled with the wolves," Esme said in her usual soft tone as she turned to look at Emmet.
Emmet clearly looked unwilling as he mumbled about how he wanted to continue playing on his computer but Esme's stare seemed to be super effective against him.
At least Jack thought so as he saw Emmet get up and head toward him.
"All right let's go, ill show you around Jack," Emmet said as he headed for the front door.
Jack nodded and then gave Esme a small nod of thanks before starting to follow Emmet.
Looking around, Jack didn't see his shoes anywhere.
"Uhm where are my shoes?" Jack asked as he tried to find them only to hear Esme tell him they were in the right drawer on the left side.
Even though she was in another room, Jack could hear her voice as clearly as if she was right next to him and was whispering into his ear.
'I guess super hearing does have its benefits' Jack thought and mumbled a thankyou, sure that Esme would be able to hear it even from the living room.
Wearing his shoes quickly, Jack stood up and headed outside together with Emmet.
Once outside Jack once more looked at his surroundings, the entire area was surrounded by large trees that towered up into the sky.
