Location: Canadian rockies

Vampire military school. What an idea! Why not? He could easily do it. He'd been a general after all. He'd commanded an entire military platoon consisting of thirty men. Why shouldn't he be able deal with two wayward girls? The more he thought about it..... the more he liked it. He might not be able to sleep and wake them up before dawn, but they could certainly become tired and worn out. Sure it took a lot longer than it would a human.....but it could be done. They couldn't die of exhaustion either so he could push Alexandra and Johanna as far as he wanted.

Packs that even a vampire would struggle with.....a long march.....a difficult climb. No technology. No books. No entertainment. The slightest insubordination.......the smallest little tiff between the girls.....and things would get worse. He'd push them to their limit and break their rebellious phase. It wasn't something he would enjoy doing and they'd probably wind up hating him for the whole weekend. He didn't care. Let them hate him. It would all work out in the end. They had a week off from school and if the girls didn't get with the program then he had no problem with extending it for the entire week.

He hadn't even told the girls his plans. He'd told Esme, Alice and Carlisle but that was it. Edward knew already of course, no hiding anything from him. On the friday before school, Jasper took Alex and Johanna aside and told them to get into the car and not to argue. In the back were two bags and lots and lots of supplies. He didn't answer their questions, didn't say anything to them. He just drove in silence. All the way to the Canadian border where he showed all three of their passports and went through.

He drove for quite a long time before they reached a little hiking trail. No other cars were here, but they might be soon. He got out. "Alright. Both of you get out. Now." he said firmly, the first thing he'd said to them since making them get into the car in the first place.

"We've all had it with your behavior. Both of you are totally out of control. The only thing left is tough love. And I'm delivering it." He pointed at the bags. "Those are your bags. You'll find nothing in them but weights. A whole ton of weights. And military style armor. Put the armor on. It's heavier than usual. Even a vampire will find it heavy. Then put the bags on your backs. Those too are extremely heavy." he wasn't kidding around, he had his serious face on.

"Here's how it's going to do down. You will call me 'Sir.' Everything will be answered with a 'sir yes sir' or a 'sir no sir'. ANY mistakes and the person who makes it will have weights added to their pack. There will be no talking back. No arguing. No complaining. No fighting. You will march until I say otherwise. You have five minutes to put your gear on. At a nice human pace. If you refuse to follow my orders, if you try to run, if you fight or complain or talk back then the punishment will be severe."

He looked seriously at the girls. "Do you understand?"

Both girls tried to talk Jasper during the whole ride to the Canadian Rockies. But he would say an single word. Johanna was kind of getting nervous but she didn't say anything about being nervous. Once they reached an park lot and Jasper told they to get out the car and put on the backpacks full with weight. Even though she was vampire it was still heavy. That when she hear if they do something stupid more weights be add to bags. Johanna only an little noise out loud. Alex folded her arms and refused to put on the pack on. Johanna rolled her eyes as she started walking up the trail. She didn't want any more weights in her bag if she can help it. The only thing Johanna for got to was say Sir yes sir I understand before started on the trail. "I am not doing this dad." said Alex with sassy in her tone of voice. Johanna rolled her eyes again as she kept walking the trail leaving Jasper and Alex in her dust.

"Johanna. Did I say you could move? Get back here." he pointed to a spot on the ground. "Stand there. Back straight, arms at your sides."

He watched them, no mercy on his face, just sheer grit and determination. "Let me one thing crystal clear to the both of you. I will not tolerate insubordination. You WILL follow my orders or you'll be very VERY sorry. There is no cell service out here. There's nothing in your bags to entertain yourselves with. This is not a pleasure trip. We won't end the day giggling and whispering to each other and having fun. You will end the day beaten down, dead tired and sore in places a vampire didn't know she could be sore in. And the next day you'll do it again. And again and again until I decide that the two of you are ready to behave. If you aren't.....then we'll return to the house and I'll continue to be tough on you every single weekend and after day after school. You'll be required to do homework on top of your military duties. This is not a game you two."

He looked flatly at Alex. "It's sir no sir or....sir yes sir. Here I'm not your father. I'm not your friend. I'm not Jasper. I am your commanding officer and if I say to do something then you do it. Now. Get down on the ground. BOTH of you and give me fifty push ups! With your bags still on." Just in case, he demonstrated how to do it. His palms were flat, legs together, he used only his arms to lift himself up and down. Then he stood. "Now both of you do it. I'll explain why. Johanna. You're doing these alongside your sister for the scoffing sound you made and for walking off without being told you could move. Alex. You're doing this because you're attempting to refuse. Get down on the ground right now and give me fifty push ups! And answer with a 'sir yes sir' and no talking back." he watched both of them with the look he reserved for soldiers on the field, that was the look that made grown men older than himself scramble to follow orders.

Johanna made another scoffing noise when she walked back to where Jasper and Alex was standing together. Then she was told to back straight, arms at your sides. She did was she was told to do. But Johanna really wanted to keep on walking to get away from Alex and Jasper for awhile until Alexandra got into the program of Jasper Military School. She smiled at the thought she just made. Johanna was half listening to Jasper and half thinking about how funny this military stuff is going help her or Alex. When Jasper yelled get down and fifty push ups. Johanna giggled as she drop to the ground. Alex sighed and rolled her eyes as she started also started doing her push ups as well. Instead of looking down to the ground while doing her push was starting right up at her adopted father. This total sucks sir. said Alex in sassy tone of voice again.Johanna nodded to Alex comment.

{B]Another twenty push ups for you Alex.[/b]" Jasper said firmly, "That's talking back. I don't care how much it 'sucks'. I said not to talk back to me and you did. And Johanna one more noise and you'll be doing twenty more push ups as well. This is no laughing matter. You'll probably wind up hating me and I don't really care if you do or not."

He waited until the girls finished their push ups and then he said "Alright. Now we march. Single file. I'll lead the way. Let's move out!" He waited for the 'sir yes sir' and then began walking. He led them on a long, hard path, through the woods, uphill and straight through knee deep mud. He didn't care if they whined, he just yelled at them to keep moving until they did. It was very dark now, he'd marched the girls for hours, didn't let them stop or put their packs down. Never let them rest. If he heard them bickering or fighting, he'd make them run. Finally as he glanced at his watch he nodded to himself. "Company halt!" He barked and turned sharply on his heel, hands behind his back.

"You place your bags on the ground. Now it's time for the next phase of your duties." he looked around, "Johanna, start clearing the area of any rocks, pine needles, tree branches and other debris you find. I want this camp cleared in one hour in a fifty yard circle. At a human pace if you please. Don't remove your armor. Don't move until I tell you to" He looked to Alex. "Alexandra. You will gather firewood. I don't want just any branches. I want dry sticks. Don't take them from trees either. They won't be dry. The wood must be dry because otherwise, we'd end up with a lot of smoke. If I don't think your firewood is good enough, you'll gather more. When you're done with that, you will build a lean-to. Which is a shelter built in between two trees using sticks, twine, which you'll find in your packs and you'll want to collect palm fronds to keep out the rain. and it WILL rain. You'll need to make the lean-to large enough that both you and your cousin can shelter under. Strong enough to withstand the weight of the leaves on top. If you don't build your shelter then neither of you will have one. And you won't be sharing mine either. Do you both understand your orders?"

What they were unaware of was that while they both might be doing different things, Jasper wouldn't keep them from helping one another. He wouldn't tell them that, they'd have to figure it out on their own. There was no stream nearby, he didn't pack any extra clothes in their bags. They'd have to settle for staying in their things for a long time. He had some in his own bag, but again, he didn't inform of that.

He might think it was back talking and didn't want any more push ups or more weight her bag. Johanna shoulders where already killing her but she not going let Jasper know that. Meanwhile Alex gather sticks she saw Johann mouthed shed hater her. she just nodded. Switch jobs when Jasper was not looked so they thought. "Sir we think we are done." they together the shelter and fire was none

Jasper listened carefully and built his own little lean-to while they worked. He didn't care if they switched jobs or communicated silently, just so long as they worked. He looked over at the campsite, it was clear. Then he went to inspected the sticks and knelt down, picking them up he studied them, rubbed a finger against them, then broke one against his knee. It was dry. Very good. He smiled and headed for the shelter of an overhanging rock and built the fire using matches.

He sat across from it "Sit down you two. You can take your armor off and you can talk but keep in mind that this little experience isn't over. I still expect to be called sir and you two will get along with no talking back and no whining." he thought for a moment, "Military school is even worse than this you know." He said, "You have to climb high walls.....sleep in uncomfortable cots.....crawl through mud in the rain under razor wire, learn how to handle a gun. Do marching drills, stand in the freezing cold rain and work out until you feel like your arms will fall off. All while being yelled at by very intimidating people. But in the end.....you're all in it together. The two of you.....you have each other. You can either be at one another's throats throughout the whole trip.....or you can unite and get through it together."

As he watched the flames he said, "You two did a good job today. I'm proud of you. It was hard work. Sure you both tried to rebel but you and Alexandra.....the two of you followed my orders anyway. Which is why I'm going to reward you by showing you how I used to have fun back with my army buddies." he stood up, "Still expect the sir and the respect, but stay there, I'll be right back."

He went off into the woods a short distance and returned with a few items in his arms, mostly sticks and more string. "Here. Watch this." he started bending the sticks and trying them together until he formed a hoop. "This is one toy." he made another with a small twig and a stick, this time making a tiny ring and tying one end to a long string. "Cup and ball game. Kind of." Finally, he made a crude javelin and headed out into the rain with it. The fire would be okay, it was raining and he'd surrounded the area with stones to keep the flames from spreading. "Alright. Here's what we're going to do. See this hoop?" He set it on its side on the ground and picked up a stick, "The object is to roll the hoop with your stick. It takes practice, if you hit it on one side, the hoop will wobble or even turn or fall down. You have to hit it dead on. And not too hard either. See how far you can get it to roll before it falls down. Then the next person will go. And this game....it's not easy." he showed them with the ring on the string and stick how to toss the ring into the air and try to catch it on the stick. "Try to do it more times in a row than anyone else." He picked up the javelin "And finally this one. Just throw it as hard as you can. Farthest distance wins!" he said, deciding to let them have a little bit of old fashioned fun as a small reward for a good job.

The were glad to sit down. While sitting they listen to Jasper tell that Military school much worst then what he was doing to them. The he said he as a game he wanted to show them. They thought the game looked great. "Sir can we go home now?" asked Johanna was not liking staying the woods. She rather be home. and playing on her cell or video games on the TV and trying to beat Emmett on them. Alex looked at her father "You could back off little on the military crap dad. I am getting sick of it. And I done begin her damn solider." Johanna was in shock how Alex just speaked her father. She going get now for sure. Johanna don't if Alex up she gets punished too. I am glad I am not in her shoes.

"Nope. No going home. This is just getting started." he said, "I'm sorry but there's no going home for any of us. You think I wouldn't rather be home reading a book or wrestling with Emmett or getting my butt whooped by Edward at chess? "

His eyes narrowed and he glared at Alex, "Seems like one of us isn't getting with the program." he said and he sighed, "Johanna. You're free to play with any of the toys. You can explore a bit but please don't leave the campsite. We don't know if there are enemies around here. Stay where I can see you." he told her and then he stared down at Alex again. "You just landed yourself in a world of trouble Alexandra." he said and grabbed one of the packs and held it out to her. "Put this back on. Right now." he went to where there was a ditch, it was filled with mud, He took a stick and measured the depth. It would come up to Alex's knees. "Go stand in that puddle with your pack on. Right now. Then, I want you to jump. A straight bunny hop. Like this." He bent his knees and tucked his arms in close elbows level with his hips, hands out and jumped into the air a few feet. "The suction from the mud will make this task ten times as difficult as normal. The weight of the pack will make it even harder. Keep jumping until I tell you different. If we have to do this until dawn then we'll damn well do it until dawn! Then all three of us will get back to marching. You don't seem to understand the point of this little outing Alex. It's not some happy little romp through the daisies. It's punishment. Johanna seems to be on board. Get with the program or this will get worse. There will be no dances, no gymnastics, no parties, no phone, tv, video games or even so much as a board game! No friends over to the house. No going anywhere except to and from school. Hell, if I have to get your teachers to double your work load then I will. All of that can avoided by simply learning to think before you say something. This is your last chance. If you don't straighten up and fly right, then your mother and I will talk about grounding you."

He folded his arms across his chest, "Now. Get into that mud and start jumping." he said firmly.

When Jasper turn his back to punished Alex she smiled because she just got her a$$ in big time trouble with drill sargent Jasper. Meanwhile Alex stared at her father he must be kidding about jumping in the mug with an heavy pack. But she did not want be grounded with nothing too or extra homework to do. So she sighed and got in the mug puddle and started doing bunny hops. Johanna try not to laugh she followed Jasper and Alex to see what her cousin was going be. She was shock what she had to until Jasper told her stop. Then she quickly went back campsite and she pretend to stared at the camp fire she was finished the game. Johanna wish she had an book or her homework. Johanna rubbed her shoulders because they very sore.

"Johanna, keep hanging around to watch her and tease her with triumphant looks and you'll be joining her. I said go play. That meant don't hang around and gloat." Jasper said firmly without turning around. He knew what she was doing and he didn't like it. Not one bit. "Jump!" He barked. And said the word over and over. He didn't like doing this, didn't like seeing the misery on his daughter's face but he had to do this. She might've been family, but the actions of both her and Johanna were causing stress for the rest of the family and nothing they did seemed to help. So, he had no choice but to come down hard on her. He made her do her jumps until four in the morning, then he nodded. "Good. Have you learned your lesson?" he asked.

He'd also kept a good eye on Johanna to make sure she didn't try to sneak off, if she had, he'd have had her jumping in the mud right along with her cousin.

Alexandra looked at her watch it was 4:00 am when her father (AKA Drill Sargent right now.) finally told her she could stop. She was so tired she basically crawl back to campsite she didn't like the feel being wet and muggy. Alex looked in her pack and her father was right there was no extra clothes inside the pack. The Alex threw the pack away from her. Johanna stay at the campsite after what Alex punishment was. She actually felt sorry for her little cousin. She decided to go her went they both came back the campsite she hugged her cousin. "I am sorry that I been a horrible big cousin I hope you can forgive for accusing for you for taking me to that stupid party and you were safe during baseball game the other day. I was just very mad at Rosalie and my dad." Alex looked shock when Johanna apologized to her for waht she did wrong. "It's okay, I forgive Johanna." Then girl hugged each other.

Jasper watched the girls hug and forgive one another apologizing with feeling and love. He knew their sorries and forgiveness was genuine and he smiled. Finally. Finally he'd made a break-through. However....."Alright. Alex....here." he reached into his pack and got both girls their change of clothes. "Go into those trees over there and get changed. We're still out here until sunday but if you two keep getting along and doing what I say without fighting or talking back then I'm willing to go a little easy on you." he said and went to their packs, taking one and turning it upside down, dumping out a massive pile of stones. He did the same to the other. "If you're up to it Alex, we can play the hoop game. You too Johanna. I'll beat the pants off the both of you!" he boasted.

He still expected them to behave, but he wasn't going to be so hard on them anymore. "I'm not being totally nice here though. One slip up and it's back on with the packs and the rocks go back in and we keep marching. But you two have made a significant improvement. You both apologized and forgave each other and I didn't have to tell you to do it. That's amazing. I'm very proud of you both and I'm very happy. Now come here and give me a hug you two." He said and opened his arms invitingly.

The girls charged Jasper into an huge. The charged was so hard they fall to the ground. After huging for awhile the girls went to get change in the woods they looked at each other. And decide to make a run to go home. They didn't know how long it will take Jasper to figure out that they took off on him. The girls used there vampire speed. "You know we are going be dead when my dad find us Johanna." Johanna can't believe she followed Alex's lead on go back home. She knew Alex was right if or when Jasper caught with they going be dead meat. But she has on thing on her mind she was getting home for her date that night. "I know but it worth the try because I have an date tonight and older siblings and my parents don't know about." Then Johanna looked over her shoulder to see if Jasper was following. "I don't want miss date. Because we are going to night club with flake IDs." The girls where surprised that Jasper had not show up yet. Johanna, and Alexandra kept on running fast as they could away from Jasper.

A trap. It had been a trap. Jasper lay on his back, staring up at the sky, anger slowly building in him, threatening to boil over. He'd given the girls every single chance possible to act right and yet they refused. They took advantage of him and now they were running away. Trying to make it home no doubt. What did they expect? For him to just wave his hands and say 'Oh that's fine. I'll just sit here and do nothing'. He sat up and dusted himself off, then looked in the direction the were going.He shook his head and took off running, not straight after them, but at an angle. He knew exactly where they would go. For the car. It was so obvious.

He ran through the woods, listening to their conversation but staying out of sight. Did they really think he was an idiot? That he would just let them run away? He heard about the fake IDs and shook his head. They were both idiots. Really. Did they LIKE getting in trouble? He jumped off the edge of a cliff and hit the ground in a roll, popping back to his feet easily. He kept on running. He didn't have his keys, but he didn't need them, he knew exactly what to do. He popped up the hood and lifted it, then reached into the engine and removed two very important parts and set the hood back down as carefully as he could. Then, he ran into the trees and hide the parts in a place the girls wouldn't be able to find them. He waited.

Without those pieces, the car wouldn't start no matter how many times they tried, no matter what they did. He waited behind a tree, listening and seething. When he heard them get into the car and try to start the engine, he came from the trees. Anger came off of him in waves and he forced himself to calm down, to get a grip. "Get out of the car." He said, his voice a scary, forced calm, rage bubbling at the edges. "You two aren't going anywhere."
