Okay, so I'm hear with another story! This one has been in my head for a while! It's going to focus on when Alice and Jasper meet, and the journey they have together as they go and try to find the Cullens. =D

Chapter 1: Help

APOV (3 months before she meets Jasper)

I was sitting on a park bench, doing nothing but looking around. Earlier that morning, I realized that I never really got the chance to settle down for a minute and take in what was around me. I was always traveling the country, hoping to meet more of my kind, or simply helping people when I had visions of their problems. It was good to help people, but constantly traveling around the country wasn't doing me much good. I hadn't found anyone who was like me. Not one person, which was a big disappointment as far as I was concerned. I was tired of always hiding myself. I just wanted to be myself, but without someone to talk to who really understood me...who would know where I was coming from...I couldn't do that.

I looked around the park, smiling when I saw a group of children playing. Just a couple of months ago, I had a vision of meeting, not a coven, but a true family of vampires. A family that didn't drink the blood of humans, like we were supposed to do, but instead preserved human life by living off the blood of animals. I did try to find that family, but I had then decided to just lay back and calm down, letting fate guide me. I would meet them when the time was ready. It felt good to know that, soon enough, I wouldn't be alone. I would be part of a family, and I would be able to live a normal life, or close to it. I had received that vision when I had made the choice to be good.

I had decided to start drinking off the blood of animals. From my visions, I could tell that it was rather hard, and that I would need to get used to it. It was hard, to say the least, but it was great knowing that I was no longer a killer.

I didn't know what the names of the vampires were, though. I only had visions of them, but not once were there names revealed. It also felt like something was missing, whenever I had a vision. I would get this empty feeling, like someone that was supposed to be there hadn't made a decision yet.

I kept scanning the area, my eyes landing on a couple sitting not too far away. They were holding hands, laughing, and talking with each other, and I couldn't help but feel a sharp pang of jealousy. I quickly turned my head away, not wanting my good mood to be ruined.

I had always wanted someone that I could connect to. Someone that would be special to me, and I to them. Someone who would deal with my negatives, and love the positives. Someone who would love me for who I was. I so desperately wanted someone like that, but I had never found them. Not yet.

After a minute though, I couldn't help but look back at the cute couple. Their hands, intertwined, made me realize just how much I needed someone in my life. Their laughter, echoing throughout the park, reminded me of how I would soon be laughing with my family. Their endless chatter made me remember my wishes of talking to someone else of my kind. After a while, the jealousy disappeared, and it was replaced with happiness. Happiness that I would soon have everything I had ever wanted.

As I kept staring at the couple, a vision came to me about them.

"Lisa," the man breathed, gently placing a hand on her cheek, "I love you."

Lisa smiled, glad at the confession. She gently leaned forward, pecking his cheek. "Me too."

The man took a small, velvet box out of his pocket, opening it up to reveal a beautiful ring, encrusted with the finest of diamonds. Lisa nodded her head, not waiting for the question, and he gently took it out, placing it on her finger.

I smiled. The scene in my vision was exactly like the one that I was watching. He was going to propose to her soon. Today.

Before I could turn away, another vision attacked me.

They leaned in to hug each other, their arms hitting the tree, and they froze at the sound of a sickening snap. It was coming from above them. They looked up, and Lisa screamed.

My eyes were wide with horror. The scene quickly changed.

The man was lying on a hospital bed, his arms and head bandaged. He was tired, and he didn't seem to be in good health. To his right, Lisa was there, holding his hand, her eyes red and poofy.

"You're going to be okay," she whispered, again and again. She then looked at the monitor, crying hysterically when the curvy line drew out into a long, straight one. A high beeping sound started echoing throughout the room.

I gasped, standing up. Some people around me turned their heads to look at me, their eyes holding mixtures of confusion and worry. I quickly ignored them, running towards the couple, wishing I could use my full speed right now.

I was stopped by a hand put on my shoulder. I quickly turned around, being met with the eyes of a woman. She looked worried and she winced a little, probably because of how cold and hard I was. I was about to escape her grasp but she spoke too soon. "What's wrong, young one? May I help you with something?"

I frantically shook my head. "No, nothing's wrong. I'm just late for something," I reassured, my gaze flickering to the young couple. The man was reaching into his pocket, and I started panicking.

The woman followed my gaze, raising her eyebrows. "Do you know them?"

I figured lying was the best way to go, not to mention the fastest way. "Yes, I do. I just have to go tell them something really fast. So if you'll excuse me..."

She didn't loosen her tight hold on me though. She instead looked at me in a way, as if she were questioning my sanity. "You do know that, by the looks of it, he's going to propose to her, correct? I don't think they would appreciate it that much if you interrupted them, even if you were their friend."

My attempt at being polite vanished, and my eyes narrowed, my face twisting into an angry one. I would've bet that I looked like a vampire right now. "Let me go. Now," I hissed, impatient and wanting to break the woman's arm. I had to go help them. She looked at me with fear, obviously frightened by my reaction. I didn't want her to go gathering help, so I quickly tried to think of something to say. "Please?"

That was nice enough.

She let go of my shoulder, grudgingly. "You're making a big mistake," she said. "I wouldn't be surprised if they started yelling at you."

Surprised by the woman's fierceness, I froze where I was. She seemed pleased, thinking that I was taking her advice. In a second though, I turned around, dashing towards the couple. They were smiling, which would lead to them hugging. I looked above them, and a fat branch was shaking with the wind, threatening to break and fall. I had lost too much time.

"Hey," I said, reaching them. "Listen to me, you have to get out of here now."

The man leaned back, his eyes confused. "Why?"

I quickly tried to come up with something. He didn't realize the danger his life was in. "I...I need to...clean up this area. It's what I do to help the community." I was surprised at how that lie came out wrong. I was usually very good, but this situation had really affected me.

Lisa, as she was in my visions, spoke. "Well, can't you go clean somewhere else first? This park is very big. If you so desperately would like to clean her first, I would appreciate it if you would wait until we leave. Frankly, I don't think it's very polite to kick us out."

I mentally cursed at myself, annoyed that I hadn't thought of something better to say. "Listen, I'm really sorry that I interrupted your moment, but you have to trust me. This isn't a very good place to sit. You see this tree?" I said, pointing to the one behind them, deciding to go with the truth, "Well, it isn't very sturdy. It's very old, and I would hate for something to happen to you guys because of it."

From the corner of my eye, I could see the woman who had stopped me earlier, talking to a man. She was pointing at me, and I could very faintly hear what she was saying. "She claimed to be their friends, but their expressions show that they're just as confused as I am! They obviously don't know her, and she just interrupted them when they were having a very important moment. Could you go talk to that girl? It would help," she said.

I groaned. If I was going to do this, I was going to have to speed everything up.

"What kind of things could happen to us?" Lisa said, rolling her eyes. "I doubt we're in danger. Thank you for caring, though."

"Listen to me! You're not listening! There is a branch in this tree, a big one, that is threatening to fall! Unless you want to die, I suggest you move!" I yelled, pointing to the branch right above their heads. "Don't you see it shaking?"

They looked up, and then they started laughing. I became angrier at that. "What now?"

The man spoke. "We see it shaking, but it always does that. For the past six months it has been doing that. There's really no need to worry."

I was furious, but after a while, I sighed. Maybe they were right. After all, it wouldn't be the first time in which my visions were incorrect. It was rare, I had to admit, but not the first time. I smiled at the couple, embarrassed and sorry that I had scared them a bit, and interrupted them. "Okay, I'm sorry. I'm known for overreacting though, so you'll have to forgive me."

"There's nothing to forgive," the man said, smiling. "You were just watching out for us, even when you didn't know us."

I smiled, happy that he was being nice. They started leaning in to hug each other again, and I then turned around and started walking away, noticing that woman from earlier walking towards me. I sighed and stopped where I was, knowing that I would have to talk to her sooner or later.

"Listen, I'm sorry," I said, when she approached me. "I-,"

She held up a hand, stopping me. "Now, you listen to me. I told you not to go over there. You don't even know them."

I sighed, not even knowing why I was talking to her. It was weird for a human to just come up to me, and now I felt the need to explain myself to one? I just wanted to leave and run away. That sounded pretty good right now. "I just-,"

I then heard a sickening snap come from behind me, and I turned around, seeing that the branch was going to fall. I ran to the couple, using my vampire speed. I knew it was stupid and all, but I had to save them. I just hoped that no one would notice.

The fat branch disconnected from the tree, and it started falling, heading for the man's head. At that exact second, the couple screamed.

"No!" I yelled, lunging for the branch.


How was it? I know some of you are probably thinking, "Um...Where's the part where she meets Jasper?" It's going to come in 2-3 chapters. Don't worry. I just put this in, because I love writing about Alice, and I wanted to introduce her visions of the Cullens, and that she feels that something is missing. *wink, wink* You guys probably know what it is anyways. =D

Also, this 'event' that happens in this chapter is going to cause her to make another choice, which will lead to another vision, which will cause her to meet Jasper and cause some dramatic-ness. =D

Now, for my readers of 'We'll Get Along Just Fine,' I'll update that story in a week or less. I just had some busy weeks, but now that they're over, I have more time to write. Yay! So, I'm not giving up on that story. I'm just busy. =D

Now that I have two full-length stories up, I need to update them both. So, here's a schedule I put together.

Sunday, Monday, and Tuesday - Work on 'We'll Get Along Just Fine.'

Wednesday - Update 'We'll Get Along Just Fine.' - Work on 'I've Finally Found You.'

Thursday, Friday - Work on 'I've Finally Found You.'

Saturday - Update 'I've Finally Found You.'

Does that schedule sound good? Yes? No? If I just want to update one ahead of time though, I will. =D If I get 10 reviews by tomorrow, I'll update earlier too. =)

So anyways, please review! I would like to know how I did so far! =D
