"Show me." Rose answered, taking a glance around them. "Please, show me." It was only a matter of time before something like this were to happen, Rose's grandmother had predicted it and even though the old croon was verging on death Rose believed most things she said. Was Natalia just going around killing people though? Rose had no idea what her sister did half the time, they didn't share all that much with each other.

"My car's around the corner, come on," Jasper replied, not giving Rose much of a chance to argue. He knew she'd probably want to take Natalia's car, but be really didn't care all that much. Besides, losing a car was worth the same as murdering an uncle, right? Okay, so it wasn't quite true, but at least it was something. "You're going to have to come round to mine though, so I hope the thought of spending more than five minutes with me alone doesn't kill you." With that, he headed to the car, turning his head to see if she was following.

Sighing Rose rolled her eyes before following him, staying a couple of steps behind, only glancing back towards her sister's car once before pushing the thought of it aside. Reaching Jasper's car a thought occurred to Rose, "wait, aren't you known for being a terrible driver?" Despite herself and the situation Rose smirked, hand on the handle of the passenger door, raising a single eyebrow at Jasper, an amused twinkle in her eye. Even if he was bad, Rose would still get in the car, she was curious to find the information out.

"I see my reputation precedes me," was all Jasper replied with a wink, slipping into the car with a certain lazy ease, arm resting gently against the window. A bored expression crossed his face as he waited for her to get in the car, setting off almost as soon as she was inside - not even waiting for her to put on her seat belt. Luckily, he didn't actually live that far away, and the car journey was about as short as it was dangerous... Jasper had a bad reputation with driving for a reason. It wasn't even that he was particularly bad at it, he just had a slightly tendency to go way over the speed limit and wait until the last second to either break or turn. Still, they both arrived in one piece, and Jasper was quick to get out and head straight inside, heading towards the study.

Pulling the door open, Rose had just about closed it and sat down when Jasper pressed his foot on the gas. Oh crap, had she just gotten into a car with the worst driver in Beacon Hills? It didn't take too long to get to Jasper's house though, the last time she'd been there was at Iris's party. Following Jasper into the house, Rose looked around, able to see a lot clearer now that it wasn't full with cups of alcohol and about three quarters of the student body. "So, what exactly are you going to show me?" Rose asked, leaning against the entrance to the study, looking back behind her, the whole house seemed very quiet.

"Police files," he replied bluntly, very aware that is was kind of illegal for him to have them but also very aware that he couldn't give less of a shit... He just hoped she didn't either. Besides, it wasn't his fault if a few of the police officers in town were very open to monetary persuasion. Walking over the the desk, he pulled open one of the drawers and picked up a handful of files lazily throwing them over to the other side of the desk towards Rose. "Most of them are written off as suicides, a few others accidents, only one or two actually classed as murders. There's no obvious pattern. Or, at least, no pattern that a normal officer would see... They're all supernatural." Lifting his gaze to look at Rose, he waited for some kind of response, honestly just hoping she didn't just write him off as paranoid.

Frowning at the fact that Jasper probably shouldn't have these pieces of information, Rose made sure the expression was gone before he noticed. Stepping into the study to look at the files Rose picked one of them up, reading it closely, the date of the murder was recent, too recent. "Oh, sugar monkeys." Rose whispered knowing just a bit too much about this particular death than she should have. "This happened when Natalia pulled me out of school." Rose didn't care if she was making any sense or not but in her own brain she was. "Jasper, my sister killed this man." What did that mean though? Placing the file back down Rose looked up at Jasper waiting to see if he would say anything.

Sugar monkeys? Did she really just say that? How old was she, seven? Jasper wiped the thought away, however, when she spoke again. He wasn't sure whether to be shocked or just accepting, having already figured quite a lot of it was down to some kind of hunter, and he'd refused to rule out the Harper's as culprits. He was now glad he hadn't. If he was at all surprised he didn't show it, honestly not sure if it was now his turn to reassure her or not. Surely it was fine? It's not like she wasn't used to her family all being murderers by now. He decided to just leave her for a minute, gaze on her carefully to see how she was reacting before finally adding, "yeah, she did, and I don't think she's alone."

"But we follow the code!" Rose reminded Jasper, almost speaking to herself now as she tried to wrap her head around this new tidbit of information.Picking up another file, Rose was reassured that she knew no extra information about that specific death. "Why would she do this, Jasper... I mean, yes, Natalia's a bitch, she always has been but this, this just isn't her." Or was it? Looking around the room, Rose was attempting to not look at the accusative files, or Jasper.

"Not everyone does, clearly," Jasper replied quickly, although he knew as soon as it was out of his mouth that it probably wasn't what she wanted to hear. Still, he didn't know how to help. Saying something like 'I'm sorry you just discovered your sister is crazy' didn't seem quite right somehow, even if he could kind of relate to it (not that Rose ever needed to know that). Besides, Levi wasn't a killer, just lonely... Or, at least, he hoped that's all that it was. With a sigh, he walked down to her side of the desk, thinking about giving her a hug for all of two seconds before telling himself not to be so crazy and instead routing through the files. She may as well be told everything now - that way she didn't have to try and get over everything one at a time.
"That's not all," he finally continued, gaze temporarily ripped from her as he searched through the files until he found one he was looking for. "Most people aren't sitting around and waiting for them to be next." He offered her the file, already knowing it had the words animal attack written on under the cause of death. Around here, it wasn't exactly hard to guess what that meant. "Rose, I think we're almost on the brink of war."

Eyes trailing Jasper's actions, it took a moment for the words to sink in properly. Taking the file from Jasper, Rose read it slowly, eyes making sure that she understood but still Rose was unable to ask, "are you sure?" War just sounded too big of a thing. Placing the file back down, Rose pressed a hand to her forehead before looking up at Jasper. "If this war suggestion becomes true or is true, who will it be against? Hunter against the supernatural?" If that was the case and they were the sides Rose knew who she was supposed to fight for but whether she wanted to do that was another matter. She couldn't kill Liam, hell, she couldn't even kill Jasper (even if sometimes she did really consider it).

"I - I don't know. It probably won't amount to anything, but it's not going to stop unless someone makes it. I mean, hunters have families, and werewolves have packs. There's always going to be someone who wants to avenge someone else, which means there's always going to be another target, another plan of attack. I just - we need to figure out how to stop if before someone we actually care about gets hurt, and we'll deal with Natalia later." His mind slipped back to Levi and Liam as he spoke, knowing the only person really on Rose's mind was him. If anyone was going to get hurt, it was him. Hell, the guy was hunted anyway - he'd killed more humans than Jasper had and he wasn't even that old. It just meant he and Rose were going to have to work extra hard to keep him safe, even if it meant killing a few people along the way.

Hands twisting around each other, Rose looked back down at the desk before back up at Jasper. "I suppose we better get used to each other's company then." It wasn't exactly the nicest idea, after all they'd spend the majority of their lives hating each other, still, Rose didn't want someone to be killed due to the fact that they disliked each other. "Natalia can wait." Rose added as an after thought already thinking on how she'd have to explain the car situation, oh well, Natalia could go get her own car if she wanted it so badly. "Jasper, Liam's not a fighter... we need to keep him out of this?" Was that the right thing to say? Regardless, Rose would try and keep him out of this supposed 'war' for as long as possible.

"I know, but I don't know how," Jasper admitted, shrugging one shoulder lazily as if it was no big thing. The reality was is that Jasper had already thought a lot of what Rose was saying though already, he'd just come to no solid ideas as to how he was going to protect anyone. He wasn't the type of the person that looked after people or did anything that wasn't within his own interests, really. Honestly, part of him was still wondering why he should give a damn about all of this, especially considering he was fairly sure he could handle himself if it came down to it. Everyone else was pretty expendable, right? Even Liam. "It's not like I can lock him in my basement until all this shit goes away."

"You sure?" Rose asked with a small laugh before sobering up again, pushing a strand of hair away from her face. "What about the rest of your pack? Do any of them know, y'know, self defense?" Picking up another file, Rose wasn't even sure what she was looking for, an answer probably. Rose supposed that she could always help humans to learn self defense but werewolves were another matter, after all, she'd been trained to kill them, not help or protect them. Could Jasper help though, was he good at any of this stuff?
