I was sitting in 3rd hour biology as usual. It had so far been an uneventful day. Jasper was sitting next to me, holding my hand under the table. It was quite ironic that Jasper should be doing biology as a subject. After all, he was the newest vegetarian in the Cullen coven. Resisting blood to him is like an overweight child trying to resist that delicious looking piece of bacon on his plate. Not that human food is at all appealing to a vampire. "Alice?" Jasper called out with a slight smile on his face. "Yes?" I replied in a kind of melodic way. "What are you thinking about? I do believe your notebook is getting a little on the full side." I looked down only to notice that my notebook was full of doodles. I looked back up into his slightly blackened eyes. A grin spread across my face. "I was just thinking about how much I love you." I figured that would be a sufficient answer, because if I had mentioned the bacon, Edward would surely taunt me about it for a while.
A smile spread across his beautiful face. This was a smile that was reserved especially for me. Jasper hardly showed any emotion to anyone but me, so smile was quite rare in public. Every time he smiled a strange tingling ran up my spine.
I looked around the classroom, and suddenly all the guys in the classroom were staring lovingly into some of the girls' eyes. "Uhm Jasper?" I said. "Yes, Pixie?" I giggled a bit at this. "You need to control your emotions, because I think half the class is falling in love with the other half." He suddenly snapped back into reality. He calmed himself and along with him, so did the other students. Being an empath made it hard for Jasper to show how he really felt, because everyone else in range of him would feel what he was feeling.
The rest of the day went by even more uneventfully and before I knew it, it was time to leave that prison-like place called school. As the last bell chimed, we all met at Edward's Volvo. The five vampires that attended Forks high piled into the car and drove home, not to mention that it was slightly over the speed limit…
When we arrived home, Rose and Emmett ran straight up stairs to do who knows what, and Edward went to sit behind his piano. I went over into Esme's room. She was re-alphabetising Carlisle's books. I figured that he was still at work. "Hey mom." I called out. "We're home. Jasper and I are going hunting in a bit. See you when we get back." Esme looked lovingly at me. "See you later. Have fun."
I went downstairs and grabbed Jasper's hand as I walked by. "Where are we going, Alice?" he asked me with a slight smile in his voice. "I'm taking you hunting. You haven't been in a while and Bella is coming over later." Bella was a big temptation to Jasper. A buck or two wouldn't hurt. He silently followed me out of the door into the forest ahead. I placed a quick kiss on his cheek and took off at full speed. Following suit, and catching up to me, was Jasper. I caught the scent of a herd of buck and pursued them. The pursuit didn't last long before I had an outer-body experience. I came to an abrupt halt and watched the vision unfold.
I watched as the Volturi, Jane in the lead, approached a familiar house. It was Bella's house… It was at nighttime and the moon was full. A piercing scream filled the air before I was catapulted back into reality.
Jasper stood in front of me with his hands on my shoulders. Worry filled his eyes as he asked me, "What did you see?" I lowered my head and just stared at the ground. I kept thinking the same thought; Bella is going to die… Bella is going to die…
Jasper lifted my head so my eyes could meet his. "Alice, what did you see?"
I smiled at him and said, "I just saw Emmett going shopping with me. It was the single most terrifying experience of my life." A smile graced his lips once more. The tingles came back up my spine. He pulled me into a hug. A while later he eventually asked, "So are we hunting or not?" We raced off again but the same thought haunted my mind…
Bella is going to die…
