Jasper was never late, but on this particular night he was quite sure he and the rest of his family could be forgiven they had been hunting since this was a ball held by the Volturi there would be blood everywhere and since Aro disapproved of their 'vegetarian' diet they had thought it best to hunt and walk in their ready to resist every temptation around them. He had gone ahead of the rest of his family leaving Carlisle to keep an eye on Alice for him, Jasper knew he had a job to do here and it would not be a particularly easy one to start with, so he wanted to face it on his own though Alice was going to support him he knew he needed to prepare himself for the intensity of the emotions on his own.
At first he felt nothing, at least until he made it to the stairs entering the throne room where everyone located and then everything hit him at once the overwhelming stench of blood and the emotions. Leaning against the wall for support Jasper felt his ability surround the room soaking up the different feelings, the insecurity, confusion, interest, anger, curiosity, excitement there was so much going on around him, overall all of these feelings the strongest one was caution. Most of the vampires here seemed to be thinking the same thing and that was, a lack of trust, most likely directed towards Aro Jasper suspected, there were also a lot of underlying feelings of anger and resentment towards the Volturi and they were always difficult feelings to deal with.
His head was already beginning to pound with pain and this was only a few minutes into the party, taking a few deep breaths Jasper slowly latched his thoughts on to one of the calmer people in the area anchoring himself to their calm and using this to slowly extend the calm to other people. Slowly adding positivity into the room and making the people feel more comfortable, he did not want to take away their doubts and insecurities because they were right to feel these emotions. That could be a difficult thing with his power he knew he could manipulate the way people felt towards other and he did not want to create a sense of false security for the people here because Jasper to doubted Aro’s true intentions for this ball.
Jasper could feel his power beginning to take effect and rubbing his head he slowly began to continue into the room, he stuck to the outskirts closer to the wall. As he entered he noticed a few unfamiliar vampires look of shock on their faces at the visible scars across his neck, he had actually forgotten how intimidating he could be to new people due to the grotesque scars across his body. Taking a position happily at the edge, he was aware of their eyes still remaining on him, but he choose to ignore them instead going through the rest of the vampires around him currently there were no sings of any elevated anger or possible threats or at least according to Jasper’s judgement there was not. The focus and attention he was directing towards his ability meant that Jasper was not entirely focused on the thirst for the blood around him, which was a great help, but as he grew accustomed to the pressure on his power and the emotions around him he knew it would or could become more of a problem. Now he just wanted to focus on keep Alice close to him, if anything happened to her tonight he would never be able to forgive himself and with Aro’s interest in her ability it was vital in his opinion he kept her safe whilst they were here.
