Out of the Darkness

Jasper's POV

I walked slowly down road the rain was lashing against my face, the cold water slipping down the back of neck. My hair clung to my features, I repeatedly flicked it out of my vision, but again it fell dropping water into my eyes. I inhaled deeply, taking in every scent around me, there was; earth, pine, grass, oil on the road, and somewhere in the distance I could just smell cooking oil and grease mixed with the sugary smell of syrup and vanilla. I squinted through the rain I could just make out neon lights from a diner about a mile away. The sign flickered on and off, in the heavy weather. I would probably set up there for the night until the rain stopped, maybe I could get a room if there was a motel near by and just wait out the day, and I'd find something to eat the following evening, in one of the nearby towns, a stumbling drunk would do. Someone who wouldn't know what was happening, who would not be filled with fear as I sunk my teeth in… I tried to avoid conscious people these days; it hurt so much I didn't think that the feed was worth the pain. Its funny I never thought I would here myself say that.

I felt so lonely these days I had left everything I had known behind, I spent all my time simply by myself. In truth I didn't feel I really deserved anything different. The amount of pain I had inflicted over the years, the amount of innocent people that had crumbled at my feet screaming with their final breaths in anxious gasps. But it was so much more than that, I felt all the anguish, all the terror, all the pain that fills their minds.

I glanced up; I was about a hundred yards away from the diner. As I approached it I felt a very strong presence resonating from the small building, it was like an effusive light. I felt it flowing over me, and suddenly I was filled with a happiness I had never experienced before. But at the same time I felt suspicion, what possible force could achieve such brilliance.

As I approached the door of the diner, I tightened my stance I was still feeling nervous at this ambience that was surrounding the building.

Slowly I pushed open the door, and slid in, trying not to draw attention to myself. I glanced around taking in the place. Meaty fat, sweat, coffee, sugar, and a very sweet aromatic scent filled the room.

There was only a couple of people in the open planned room, a couple of old men sat at different booths in the room. Hunched over slurping coffee from stained cups, their eyes barely flickering as I entered, probably overwrought by the tiredness that racked their mortal bodies.

A middle-aged woman stood at the counter frying something on a large open grill. But as my eyes scanned, room, they fell across a young woman, a girl in fact, not much older than nineteen. She sat at the end of the counter. She was staring at me; her eyes were large under a mop of dark hair. It only took me a second to know she was like me, it was that glow in her large eyes, that copper tint in the light, the dusky white skin, like alabaster. She was smiling a glorious smile, her eye twinkled, as know she knew something that I didn't. That no one did in fact. I felt as though I could stare at her for hours without knowing the time was slipping by.

She moved back her shoulder, and slunk down of the stall. She must have been at the very most five feet tall. She was small in her frame, fragile but radiant. Her pink lips, look liked the finest rose buds on a spring morning, she was dressed in little white cotton dress, a red leather belt clinched her already petite waist. Her dainty little feet were clothed in red suede, clearly adding to her tiny height. She glided up towards me, her face glowing as she smiled.

'You're Late. I've been waiting for you.' Her voice slid over me like a dream.

'Sorry ma'am.' I replied ducking my head, and immediately cursing myself for not saying something more profound, or charming.

She giggled and took a step closer, I could feel the hem of her skirt dancing against my leg through the fabric. I could feel her rising up onto her tiptoes; she leant forward as if to whisper something in my ear. I leant down slightly, I felt that I had to take in everything she did, the sound of her hair moving, her finger tips grazing against her skirt. Everything I wanted was her. I wanted to sink into her, to join myself to her, it was like some great magnet pulling me towards her.

'Jasper.' Her voice so close to me, like a breeze in spring. She leaned back grinning at me like Cheshire cat. She slid her arms round my waist, and once again she started giggling. It was funny; she seemed so innocent, like a child or a Pixie. I didn't quite know what to make of her. She didn't seem to care that I was a complete stranger, but it was only then that realised she had spoken my name.

I leaned back rather quickly, 'How did you know my name?' However despite my sudden movement she seemed not the least surprised, it was though she was anticipating my every move, like she knew I was coming, that very night. She continued to smile at me, with a slightly mischievous look. She tilted her head towards one of the booths and began to move in their direction. She slipped into one of the seats, gesturing for me to take the one opposite, I sat down, not moving my eyes from her beautiful face.

'My name is Alice, I've been waiting for you for so long, you have no idea.' Her words drifted over me. It was though I was being hypnotised or something, I couldn't quite put my finger on it.

'Please… er… Miss'

'Alice'

'Miss Alice, I…'

'No, just Alice.'

'Huh…okay…Alice. You're going to have to bear with me. I mean I don't know who you are? H-how do you know my name? What do you mean you've 'been waiting for me'?' I stammered.

She didn't stop her smile as she stared at me, ' you know what I am. I know you know.'

I grimaced, 'Well yeah, you mean do you have an, an..an…'

'An ability?' She questioned tilting her head.

'An ability.'

'Yes, I do. I can see things…before they happen. And Jasper I saw you.' She smiled sliding her hand across the table and taking my hand in hers. I stared down at the little hand. I still didn't know what to make of her. She was like no other…Vampire I had ever met before. She didn't have the desperate anger or sadness in her eyes.

'We were meant to meet, it was destiny Jasper.'

'Alice, why would you want to be with me? If you could see me in your future, you must know that I have done wrong. You must know that I am not a …' a glanced around the room, 'good person.'

Alice stared at me, and raised to her feet, she leaned across the table, and very gently she kissed my forehead. Her lips were soft against my skin, her scent was so sweet, I closed my eyes and just held the moment. 'I know Jasper, and you will be forgiven.'

Slowly I opened my eyes. She was sitting down again, her eyes were so warm. Her smile was so gentle.

At that moment in time, I thanked every heaven in the sky that she was here. That she had found me.
