CHAPTER ONE

APOV

I walked around not really watching where I was going, I was much too excited. I was keeping an eye on him, making sure his path didn't change. As far as I could see it didn't.

I walked to the diner, knowing he would be there any minute. Let me catch you up, a few days ago I had this vision (Yes I'm psychic) first I saw a family, Five people, a man, Carlisle- the head of the family- his wife Esme, another boy around my age, 17, named Edward. A woman named Rosalie and her husband Emmett, they looked about 19 or 20.

They like me are vampires, they are vegetarian vampires, exactly like what I have been trying to be for months now. Then I saw a man, a gorgeous man, well vampire, Jasper, he had this blonde tussled hair and his body was full of vampire scars. It was obvious that he was once apart of the vampire wars, the battle scars spoke loud and clear. I knew from the moment I saw him that he was my soul mate.

His eyes were crimson, like most vampires, which meant he fed off of humans. But unlike most vampires, Jasper wasn't evil, he didn't like feeding off of humans, just like me, but he didn't know that there was a way of surviving off of animal blood instead of human blood.

I saw us together he was the one I was meant to spend forever with.

I saw him going to a diner, the exact one I was going to now to wait for him. I would tell him of this family, the Cullen's, and together we would go and join there family.

I sat at the booth of this diner. I was not a patient person; I got restless very quickly waiting for him. It seemed like hours but finally he walked in.

His head was hung low, he was hiding his eyes, but as if he sensed me looking at him he looked up and straight into my eyes, causing my dead heart to skip a beat. He was even more beautiful in person, every scar just made him even more beautiful. I stood and skipped over to him. It was like love at first sight. As soon as his eyes met mine I was a goner, I knew that no matter how long I lived I wanted him to be the one I lived my life with.

"You've kept me waiting a long time." I told him.

He looked at me curiously and like the true southern gentleman that he was he said, "I'm sorry ma'am."

There in the middle of the diner I told him about my visions and began to explain to him everything I knew of the Cullen's and there unique lifestyle and how I saw him and I apart of there family, I was even bold enough to tell him I saw him and I together, that he was my soul mate even. He stood there very still, listening to my every word.

When I finished explaining I could tell he was shocked. I held out my hand to him, silently urging him to take it. And without even thinking about it, he took my hand, "I'm Alice by the way." I said.

"I'm Jasper, it's a pleasure to meet you Alice." He smiled, he we left the diner, and began walking towards our new lives. Our lives together.

I didn't breathe as I walked down the street, it took everything I had to control myself, and not attack anyone. I hated the urge I had to kill, the little monster inside of me that told me attack, drink, kill. I wished more than anything that this wasn't my life, that I wasn't some sick blood sucker.

I kept my head low, so no one could see my gruesome red eyes that marked me as a killer. I had an odd feeling today though, like something was going to happen.

I stopped outside of a small diner. My instinct told me to go in for some reason, it was the strongest feeling I had felt- aside from the need to drink- in a long time. I was sure why though.

I debated with myself on whether or not I could control myself to go in. I finally decided to trust my instinct and go.

With me head still hanging low, I walked inside, making sure not to breathe. As soon as I walked in I felt as if someone was looking at me, intensely. Slowly I looked up and saw the most stunning creature ever.

She was very small, almost pixie like, with short black hair that was spiked in all directions, and pale white skin, she wore beautiful clothes and held herself like a dancer would. If I didn't know any better I would say she was a vampire.

Then I saw her eyes they were a mix of gold and crimson and somehow I just knew that she was a vampire.

To my surprise she stood and danced over to me. I couldn't seem to take my eyes off of her. "You've kept me waiting a long time." She spoke in a high soprano voice. Not knowing what to say to this I decided to simply be polite just like my mother always told me to do, especially in the presence of ladies.

"I'm sorry ma'am." I said, and was extremely pleased when I saw a small smile appear on her angelic face.

Before I could say anything else, she began telling me of how she was a psychic and saw us with the Cullen family, who only fed off of animals, which I didn't think was possible. She told me of how she saw her and I going there together and becoming a part of there family. She also said she saw in her vision that I was her soul mate, the one meant for her forever, that idea made my silent heart do flips. Though I didn't see how it was possible, how someone like her could ever love someone like me, I mean I was a fighter, my body is covered from head to toe in battle scars and my past is darker than imaginable.

When she finished talking she held out her hand, and I took it, without stopping to make sense of what I was doing. And for the first time in centuries I felt hope.

I knew as soon as my hand touched hers that I was in love with her, she was right, I would be hers forever, because at that moment there was no place I would rather be than at her side.

"I'm Alice, by the way." She said/ Alice the name of an angel.

"I'm Jasper, it's a pleasure to meet you Alice." I replied, loving the way her name sounded when I said it.

We left, hands enclosed together, walking towards a future that would be brighter than my past. For the first time in a long time I didn't doubt my decision, for the first time I knew what I was doing was right, especially with Alice by my side.
