They ran through the forest, Alice clenching Jasper's hand in a vice grip. They ran far from the large house that they had called home for so long. Suddenly Alice stopped, her eyes flashing up to Jasper.
"What is the matter"? he whispered as she shook her head.
"Stay here". She muttered turning on her heel as Jasper squeezed her hand.
"Where are you going? You can't leave". He said sternly as she looked back at him weakly.
"There is something I need to do. Please I will just be a minute. I will explain everything as soon as we're out of ear shot." She pleaded as Jasper relcutantly released her hand.
He watched her fly into the trees, her speed doubled than normal. Though none of her grace was lost by her speed. He turned his head down, his fingers hanging in his pockets. No sooner had a thought entered his mind, Alice was back at his side. He looked down at her questioningly as she nodded. Turning back to the trail, he realized it was the path to Edward and Bella's home.
"I'll explain it later". She whispered as she took his hand pulling him alongside her as they broke into a sprint.
They ran for many miles, the trees flying by in green blurs as they neared the border of La Push. They stopped quickly as thundering paws echoed on the grass. Jasper tensed as several wolves moved carefully from the trees. The main wolf stopped, its body trembling all over as it transformed into a man.
"We're not staying". Alice interjected as Sam Uley glared at them.
"Where are you headed"? He said sternly, his eyes flashing wearily to Jasper. "Isn't something happening with your family"?
Jasper looked down at Alice silently as she shrugged her shoulders. "There is something we need to attend to, if you could allow us to cross the border-"
"You're not going to hunt are you?" Sam hissed as Alice smiled pleasantly.
"No nothing like that". She whispered gliding gracefully toward him.
Jasper as well as Sam and his pack tensed as Alice approached. The wolves growled quietly as Alice stared up into their leader's eyes.
"I need one more favor". She whispered sifting through her coat pocket as Sam eyed her wearily. She took his hand gently ignoring the shiver and grimace Sam made.
She pulled out a small piece of white paper placing it carefully on his palm before he snatched his hand back.
"What is this"? He hissed as if her frozen hand had burned him.
"Give that to the Cullens when they come looking for us". She whispered holding his gaze as she turned away.
"We will escort you to the shore." Sam said suddenly as Alice looked back at him smiling.
"That would be very much appreciated dear Sam". She said politely watching the man phase into his wolf form before her.
