For his entire existence, Jasper had believed that he was a monster- confined to his own personal hell for eternity. He had killed innocent people unwillingly. His ability to feel their emotions made it all the harder for him. Their agonizing fear and desperation made him want to claw his eyes out. Their pain and sadness caused him to shake uncontrollably with anguish alone.
Alone. It was the only time Jasper could show his weaknesses and let his guard down. The only time when he could be himself. In his human life, Jasper had his family to lean on, his friends. But in this life, he was alone. At times he wondered if it was even worth it- living this eternal day with no change, no joy.
Then he met her. That night in the diner had changed his life. When the small pixie had danced up to him, he had been shocked. His whole life had taught him that other vampires were dangerous, but there was something different about her. When she looked up into his eyes, her beatific face was radiant. The intensity of her emotions left him out of breath- the relief, the joy, and something else. Love. Pure, adoring, love. For him. Despite himself, Jasper couldn't stop his lips from curving up into a smile. Although his mind told him never to trust again, he took her hand. For the first time in almost a century, he felt hope.
Alice had woken up in a dark world. Alone. She had nothing to draw upon- no memories or experiences. She didn't even know her name.
Then she saw him. The tall, brooding man with blood red eyes. His skin was marred with scars, but she had never seen anything so beautiful. And at that moment, she knew he would be part of her future. She just had to find him. Because with him by her side, she could go through anything. He was her soul mate- the one she was supposed to be with forever. Her reason for being.
