A/N: This idea struck me while I was reminding myself why Alice and Jasper are the best couple in the series. I'm not entirely sure how this is going to end up, but I hope you like it. R&R.
Preface
The hunter stalked me like I was a frightened deer. In the situation I was in, I might as well be. I knew she would do something stupid, so I'd tricked the love of my life so that I could follow my best friend into this death trap. I love her like a sister, and I hope she lives long enough to realize the sacrifice I'm making. I understood it perfectly myself.
Cynthia would understand, perhaps, and she had our friends and Aunt Catherine to take care of her. Someone would be dying here today. Whether it would be me, I was still unsure. My visions have become increasingly unclear about my death, but this seems a bit cliché of a way to go. Hopefully, the two of us that walk out of here aren't doing so covered in blood.
Blood. The word brings forth more thoughts and images than I knew were possible, and each one held a different connotation. Life, death; lust, greed; love, sacrifice.
Sacrifice. I hoped Bella would one day understand just what I risked by following her. My vision of a little boy with blonde curls and green eyes was fading as his chances of being brought into this world were diminishing rapidly. My heart ached for him, and part of me wondered if my actions would ever, could ever be forgiven.
The hunter stalked closer to me, his fanged teeth bared. This was it. My end was near; the hunt was near complete. I gulped, and then the skylight shattered.
A/N: R&R, and please remember this is a fanfiction. I get annoyed when people seem to forget that. Hope you enjoyed the chapter!
