A Vampire's Control.

Alice was in her room painting when she heard Jasper running around the house frantically calling her name. As she heard him come closer she took a critical glance over her work and swept a cloth over it, over Jasper's painted face. Just as the material settled her door flew open and he came flying into her room.

"Alice you have to come! I can do it, I can do it!" He grabbed her hand and dragged her out of the room.

"Jasper what are you talking about?" Alice said, "I haven't seen you this excited in about a hundred years!" She let him take her into the main room downstairs. Edward and Bella were sitting there, Bella looked a little surprised and Edward looked like he was trying not to laugh.

"Will you explain to me what's going on?" Alice asked wondering what Edward found so very funny. Oh no, he can read my thoughts, I forgot, crap.

"Alice," Jasper said, catching her attention once more, "Sit and watch this!" With three he deposited Alice on the piano seat while Edward placed Bella on a seat in the middle of the room. As she got settled Edward sat back down next to her.

What on earth is going on? Alice thought watching Jasper go to the other side of the room.

"You'll see," Edward whispered so that only she could hear. As Alice's eyes settled on Jasper on the far side of the room, he started taking deliberate steps towards the chair they Bella was sitting on. Step by careful step he walked towards her over the tiled floor. Bella watching him like a proud mother hen.

He was within a metre of her now and then he took two last steps and stood beside her.

"Jasper!" Alice gasped in surprise, he hadn't been this close to Bella like this since that time three months ago in the motel room. The only reason he had done it then was to calm her down with his unusual ability as well, this just kept getting weirder and weirder.

Then he bent down and pressed his face into Bella's hair, against her neck. He lifted his face and turned to Alice.

"See! I can do it too!" He said, smiling broadly.

"Oh my. Jasper, your control!" Alice was surprised before but seriously, his control used to be terrible, but now…
