The sky was falling. The world was losing its color, a swirl of black and white slowly making its way across my line of vision. Everything was dying. If I could cry...oh God....what atrocity...Then, I saw it. Her. Alive. So alive. A gloating array of warmth and beauty she had been perpetually sucking from the dim lit world. And she simply walked. Walked in ignorance of her utter perfection.
I shook in spite of myself, my impenetrable skin shivering, my optional breath quickening. I should stop. Just stop breathing. I'm drawing attention to myself. If the breathing could stop I would be alright. But I couldn't. I had to breathe in as much of this glorious creature that I possibly could...maybe I could barely taste her sweet blood across the oxygen molecules between us...just please one fucking taste...just one little bite...just one...
"Alice?" A soft familiar voice snapped me back into reality. Jasper. I saw his lip tremble, his eyes seeing the dead world as I did and then...his power engulfed me. I closed my eyes as a wave of peace washed over me. It was like standing in the ocean and just letting the water overtake you. I wrapped my arms tightly around his waist and he kissed the top of my head trying to lead me through the parking lot. I tried to turn my head around to see her again without letting go of Jasper, but I couldn't. I felt a twinge of pain, but I let it go. I had to to keep myself sane.
It would be just as I knew it would be. Bella on the arm of my brother and I on the arm of my Jasper. For eternity, and when Jasper's power wore off for today, I would disappear again into my mind where I had my own eternity; where she is everything.
