Anna tossed and turned within her bed, she let out slow breaths before snapping awake. Jasper pulled the frightened blonde into his embrace, his darling was shaking in his embrace as she sobbed so painfully that Jasper felt consumed by the emotion; if he could cry, he'd be a sobbing mess alongside his Soulbound.

"Darlin', what's wrong?" Jasper whispered to her as her sobs turned to whimpers. "I need to see Esme," Anna told him, she lifted her head to look at Jasper who took instant notice of her puffy eyes but that wasn't what left him stunned, it was how her sky blues were a dark shade of grey; fading back to their usual blue with a reflection of fairy lights though none rested in her room.

Jasper didn't question her any further, he grabbed his coat and pulled it onto her before picking her up into his arms, leaving through her window before taking off to the Cullen household. Anna was still processing the nightmares that seemed to overlap, the haunting of past lives that were not her own though she felt all of the pain, all the sadness and every ounce of anger.

"Where's Esme and Carlisle?" Jasper asked Rosalie as he sat a distraught and distant Anna down on the couch in the living room. "Jasper?" Esme spoke as she and Carlisle walked in with Alice and Colton. "What's going on?" Emmett asked as he walked up to Rosalie, the blonde vampire was watching Anna with a worried expression, the broken expression on the human's face hurt her.

"She woke up from a nightmare in a panic then she cried before asking me where Esme was," Jasper explained to them as he looked back at his Soulbound, his eyes darkened. "Emmett and Colton are about to hunt, go with them," Carlisle advised Jasper who went to argue, he didn't need babying right now, he needed answers as to why the woman he adored was in this broken state.

"Jasper, she needs Esme and Carlisle right now," Edward spoke up as he walked into the room, he tried to access Anna's mind but it was broken up in pieces, some of it was blocked while other pieces were not her own memories. "Jas..." Anna breathed out, Jasper rushed over to her and took her hands in his. "What can I do?" Jasper pleaded with her, the Olympic Coven watched in awe of Jasper's bond with Anna.

"It's okay... I need to talk to Esme. Go feed, I'll be right here when you come back," Anna assured him in her shaky voice, she swallowed dryly before kissing him gently. Jasper hesitantly left with his brothers while Rosalie, Alice and Edward left their parents with Anna who was still sorting through her nightmares. "What is wrong, Annabeth?" Esme asked her, grabbing her hand in a motherly fashion with soft eyes.

"1921..." Anna breathed out making Esme tense up, Carlisle grabbing his wife's free hand. "You lost your baby to lung fever. You were so distraught that you attempted to take your own life which proved futile 'cause Carlisle found you and turned you, and you both fell in love," Anna continued as tears streamed down her cheeks almost as though they were Esme's and her own mixed in one.

"You were born Esme Anne Platt in 1895 on the outskirts of Columbus, Ohio where you grew up on a farm living a happy childhood," Anna said before covering her mouth and letting out a sob. "How do you know this?" Esme asked her, her voice cracked. "It was my nightmare... I felt all of it, the joy, the pain, the sorrow, the guilt... the burn," Anna told them before she began rubbing her hand on her neck.

"That is my story, my past life," Esme told Anna as Carlisle thought deeply about this. "Annabeth, what else did you dream?" Carlisle asked her as Alice, Rosalie and Edward walked back into the room, the three adoptive children looked to their parents before sitting down. Anna closed her eyes, pushing Esme's memories from her mind, slowly the emotions faded into something different.

"1918... Edward Anthony Masen - born June 20, 1901, in Chicago, Illinois," Anna answered with her eyes closed, almost in a hypnotic state. "You were dying from the Spanish Influenza, you were given a second chance at life due to your mother's love and Carlisle's compassion," Anna continued before gasping, similar to Alice. "Visions... She's having visions of the pasts," Alice told them.

"Of those, she is closest too. People she has formed a deep connection with," Carlisle added as he watched the human girl's expression morph into one of anger and pain. "1933... Rosalie Lillian Hale - born in Rochester, New York in 1915..." Anna's eyes burst open as she jumped up from the couch, her heart was racing as she began to hyperventilate, tears streaming down her face.

"Anna... Anna... you need to breathe," Edward told her, he didn't want to touch her in case it set her off further. "Edward, get Jasper," Carlisle told Edward who took off in search of his brother. "Anna..." Carlisle spoke in a soothing tone, kneeling down in front of her after she dropped to the floor pulling her knees to her chest, sobbing and hyperventilating to the point, her lungs begged for air.

"Focus on my voice, Annabeth. You need to focus on five things; five colours in the room," Carlisle continued though it wouldn't work as she began mumbling under her breath, "1663 - Carlisle Cullen. 1863 - Jasper Whitlock. 1884 - Colton Scott Mathers. 1918 - Edward Anthony Masen. 1920 - Mary Alice Brandon. 1921 - Esme Anne Platt. 1933 - Rosalie Lillian Hale. 1935 - Emmett McCarty." Anna repeated it again like an ongoing mantra.

The whole of the Olympic Coven now stood within the room surrounding her from a distance, the family was shocked by this sudden revelation about Annabeth Swan. "Those are the dates we turned..." Colton said as they looked at each other. "Carlisle," Edward spoke as he looked at his father, the mentioned leader turned to his son.

"She's living through our lives - She's reliving our changes, the pain, the emotions... all of it," Edward explained as he accessed what he could from her mind, broken pieces showing from behind a mental shield he only ever experienced around Bella. "Correct me if I'm wrong, but... doesn't Anna get random thoughts that don't feel like her own, images flashing before her eyes..." Colton expressed with wide eyes.

"Our gifts..." Alice muttered as Jasper moved closer to his Darling, carefully he knelt down in front of her. "You think she is somehow experiencing all of our gifts?" Edward asked Alice who nodded solemnly before her eyes glazed over, Colton grabbed her. "What do you see?" Colton asked his mate, rubbing her arms in a soothing pattern. "Anna... I see Anna..." Alice stuttered out as the vision continued.

"Darlin'?" Jasper whispered to his girlfriend, the blonde finally snapped from her mantra and looked up at Jasper with puffy eyes and split lips from biting down on her lips from the pain of the memories. "W-what's h-happening to m-me?" Anna asked with a hiccup. Jasper pulled her into his arms, rocking her gently as he whispered soothing words to her.

Anna's eyes slowly opened, they were irritated and sore, her throat felt hoarse and she felt sick in the stomach as she went to move. She tilted her head to see Jasper holding her tight in his arms, his eyes closed as he concentrated on her and only her rather than the theories his family was throwing around in the living room down the hall.

"Jasper?" Anna's voice was dry and hoarse, the sound caused Jasper to open his eyes before leaning forward and kissing her forehead. "Why is my throat so sore? And my eyes irritated like I've been crying? Did we watch a sad movie?" Anna asked Jasper who furrowed his brows in confusion. "You don't remember?" Jasper asked her, his voice was hoarse and drained.

"Don't remember what?" Anna asked him with her own confused expression. "The nightmares, you needing Esme?" Jasper attempted to carefully remind her, he didn't want to risk another panic attack. "I, uh... It's all sort of blurry," Anna told him as she tried to remember what had happened. "It's okay, darlin'. Don't strain yourself," Jasper assured her as he brushed her hair from her face.

"Jasper, why are you so tense?" Anna asked him as she ran her fingers across his arms, she had noticed the faint bite marks upon his wrists but no more than that. "You had a panic attack last night, darlin'. I was just worried about you, nothing to fret about now," Jasper assured her as he sent calm waves towards her. "Stop..." Anna whispered to him causing him to frown.

"You need to learn to detach your emotions from others to save your own sanity. How will you learn to do that when you are focused on calming me?" Anna asked him sternly. "My apologies, ma'am," Jasper replied. Anna flushed red at the drawl that she loved so fondly. "But Jasper... I know you can read me ─ well, you can read emotions ─ but I need you to understand that I can read you too," Anna expressed before placing a delicate kiss on his forehead.

"Now tell me, Jas, what happened last night?" Anna asked him, Jasper sighed as he closed his eyes before taking an unnecessary breath. Jasper went on to explain what had happened the night before, expressing his concerns and worries about her own mental health above his own, and how she fell into a state of panic before passing out from the lack of oxygen in her brain due to the panic attack.

Anna stayed silent as she processed Jasper's retelling of the events from the night before, the story felt real and familiar but almost like something was blocking the memories from pushing forward again. "Don't force the memories back, darlin'. You'll only do more damage than good," Jasper forewarned her before rolling over, hovering above her.

"I don't understand what is happening to me, Jasper..." Anna whispered out, she was worried about what this could mean. Jasper leaned down, his lips hovering above hers. "Let's not worry about that right now, darlin'," Jasper whispered against her lips before pressing a soft kiss onto her chapped lips. He pulled back slightly, watching as Anna licked her lips to moisten the dry surface.

Anna hooked her right hand behind his neck and pulled him down to connect their lips in a passionate kiss that sent Anna's nerves into overdrive. Her mind went blank and focused purely on the Southern charmers lips that fought for dominance in such a gentle way that Anna arched her back, a soft moan escaping her lips. Jasper smirked against her lips as his hands held him above her, not risking any bruising on her body from his grip.

Anna pulled back slowly, she bit down playfully on Jasper's bottom lip before letting it go. Jasper let out an animalistic growl before claiming her lips again, his whole body felt alive. He could've sworn that his still heart had almost beat again as her free hand moved to his chest, gripping the fabric of his shirt as her left leg hooked around his waist pulling him closer to her.

Jasper ─ using every ounce of strength he had ─ pulled away from his Darling leaving her with flushed cheeks, swollen lips and a yearning for more. "Come on, darlin'. You need to let you sister know that you are okay," Jasper told her before pulling her out of the bed, admiring the way his clothes looked on her body. "Jasper?" Anna breathed out, her tone hoarse for a different reason than before.

"Yes, darlin'?" Jasper asked with his back turned to her, fixing his creased shirt from her strong grip, leaving his thoughts running wild at the prospect of her strength as a newborn before shaking the thoughts away. "What was Alice's vision?" Anna asked causing Jasper to tense, he froze in place as Anna stepped closer. "Tell me, Jasper," Anna pleaded, needing the information he left out.

"Her vision was-

-your last breath..."
