Prologue
Fate brought him to her continually, brought him to the one person that would make the savage within him settle and fade. She was reincarnated, time and time again, and each encounter he had with her brought him a step closer to the humanity he did not know he sought. When she was reborn, he was given one chance in her lifetime to recognize the fact that she was the one who would save him from himself. But every time he met her, each time he was given the opportunity, his eyes were blind. And so she disappeared from the earth for a short while, only to be brought back in another time, as another person, able to meet him once more.
Though she was different each time, there were a couple things that remained the same in each of her reincarnations. Things that, if his eyes were opened to see them, he would have known in an instant. She was never afraid of him, she was sickly, and apples in various forms were a part of their encounter, whether they be trees or fruit or the scent of them. Those were the only hints that were offered to him, but they were chaff in the wind, unimportant and tossed away without a second thought.
Though his mind should have worked perfectly, should have seen these hints, he had an excuse that allowed him many chances. He was frozen in a world that was changing in the blink of an eye. Unlike her, he was not trapped in the cycles of life and death. He was the same person every time they met, while she was different each time. So it was next to impossible for him to recognize her, only acknowledging the fact of a human stepping into his life's path for a short while. Something that happened often enough that he did not question it, did not think it odd.
But though he did not see, his heart remained open, for that was the source of his powers. His heart recognized that she was the one altering him for the better. And so while he pushed the memories of meeting her to a corner of his brain that was left relatively undisturbed, his heart remembered and learned from them. And because his heart learned, when the vampire who held onto the hands of fate met him, he was ready and willing to go with her.
It was with this little pixie-like vampire that he thought he was complete. For, with her, he led a completely different lifestyle. With her help, he found humanity. So he was content, happy with her. But his heart knew better, and waited for the one that it had encountered so many times before.
What his heart did not know was that she would enter into his life only one more time. If his eyes did not open, if he did not recognize her importance, she would die. And she would not return to him again.
A/N: I was always skeptical about writing a Twilight fanfiction...there are so many awesome stories out there all from amazing ideas, and so I was kind of nervous about "unoriginality". But I have been listening to a lot of good music lately and they've all been planting ideas in my head, so I figured, why the hell not. Yes, this is going to be a Bella/Jasper story. And yes, my chapters will be longer. I just figured a prologue should be short and sort of vague-ish. :)
So what do y'all think of the story so far?
Btw, I do not own Twilight.
