I sat in the house all day because it was sunny. I couldn't leave without being noticed. This made me miss Forks but then again I couldn't bring myself to think about it or go back. Nothing is the same as it was. Edward and Bella were married with a child now. I smiled at the thought of my niece. Renesmee was a sweet girl growing healthy and strong and very fast. Esme and Carlisle went a vacation, Emmett and Rosalie were doing what they do best. I shudder at the thought. All the lust and love they projected made me pissed because I'll never have that again.

I growled and got off the couch pacing the floor. Peter and Charlotte walked through the door almost immediately. "Why so serious?" Peter said. I rolled my eyes at his attempt to make my mood lighter. "Don't start fucker," I growled out. He took a step back with his hands up in surrender. "Chill man. I know you're miserable, but don't take it out on us."I continued to pace back and forth groaning every once in a while pictures of Alice flooded my mind. I didn't want to remember her or what she did. I didn't want to think about how when we all got back to the house and celebrated that we were finally able to live our lives without the fear of the Volturi interrupting. We all suddenly noticed one Vampire was missing amongst our group. Alice.

Flashback

I quickly ran up the stairs and into the bedroom that we shared for decades to see if she was up there. There was a faint smell but not as fresh. Maybe an hour old. I crossed the room when I saw the noted laying on the white pillow in the middle of the bed. I picked it up and read it slowly.

My Dearest Jasper,

I know you are worried where I had gone,

But this is the best for the both of us.

I can no longer stay here with the family and you.

We were not meant to be together.

I saw a glimpse of your future and you will

Find who you were meant for.

I will send you the papers as soon as I can.

Go to Peters, he'll be expecting you.

Love truly,

Alice.

At that exact moment my phone vibrated in my pants. I pulled it out and answered it without looking. "Peter," I growled out. "Major," he said in a soft tone. "What do you want, Peter?" "I already booked you a plane ticket and there will be a rental car at the airport. I'll text you where in the lot it is once you land. I'm expecting you." I sighed. Peter and his ever knowing mind. "Fine!" I snapped. "Later!" and with that I hung up the phone.

I quickly grabbed a bag and shoved as many of my clothes as I can but stopped. All these clothes were clothes that Alice had bought and made me wear. I threw the whole bag into the closet with too much force. I grabbed a plain tee shirt and a pair of tight faded blue jeans and replaced my dress shoes with my boots. They felt so comfortable. I shoved my keys and wallet back in my pocket when my door suddenly opened.

Edward stood in the doorway as I finished grabbing my passport and cell phone. "Why are you leaving?" he said. I walked passed him down the stairs and saw that everyone was staring at me. I didn't say anything just kept walking towards the door until Bella rushed to it and blocked my way. I sighed angry. "Bella, please move." I said as calmly as I could. "No." she said in a firm tone. "I need to leave; I have to get out of here." "Why?" this time it was Esme who spoke up. "Because our dear Alice decided to leave." I threw her note to the floor. Carlisle picked it up and started reading. "It's true," he sighed out. "She did leave, and suggested he do the same."

I sighed with relief when I felt his acceptance. "I hope you do find her Jasper. Please bring her to see us when you do." He said and pulled me into a hug. "Esme and I are going to the Island for a little, feel free to join us when you're ready." He stated. I hugged everyone until I reached my darling niece.

I picked her up when I noticed her crying. "Oh my sweet Nessie," said as I held her tight. "I won't be gone forever Darlin'," I spoke softly to her. I can feel her sadness and love. "I'll miss you Uncle Jasper." She said. Everyone looked at her. She rarely, if ever, speaks out loud. "I'll miss you too, Love. I'm always a call away, you know that. You know you can call anytime." She smiled. "I'd love that." She said. "Good. I'll call when I get settled." I kissed her forehead before setting her down but she stopped me. She reached for my face and flooded my mind with every memory she had of us together. "Yes, Darlin," I choked out. "I won't forget." As quickly as I could I ran. I didn't want to be stopped and more, it was heartbreaking.

Flashback ended

I sighed and collapsed back on the couch and forced my face into my hands. "Why don't you get a shower and get dressed." Peter suggested. I peeked through my hands at him. "For what?" He shrugged. "I have a feeling you should go to the night club down town. The one on Richmond Ave." he said. I raised my left eyebrow. "Hey I just call them as I feel them." I could hear charlotte laughing from the other room. "What if I don't want to go?" "Then you won't get to see the most gorgeous woman there tonight." Charlotte swatted him in the back of the head. "Hey now woman!" he hissed. "You're the only gorgeous one for me, I meant she would be the only gorgeous one he'll see." She smiled softly when he reworded his statement. "Good," she pulled he head back and lightly pecked his lips. I looked away."Go," Charlotte said. "Have fun, don't stress." I nodded and headed upstairs to the shower.

I took a long shower, taking in the hot water and relaxing my muscles. It's been six months since I had even looked at a woman let alone think about their appearance. I got out and quickly got dressed in dark denim boot cut jeans with my favorite belt and a plain white tee shirt. I quickly put my boots on and grabbed everything else and shoved them in my pockets. I ran down the stairs and was headed for the door when Peter shouted to me. "Take the bike!" I rolled my eyes and did what he said.

It took me a while to reach my destination.

As I pulled into the lot and parked the bike I felt a sudden pull towards the building. Odd. I thought to myself. I shook my head and continued to the door. The bouncer took one look and just let me in, didn't even bother to ask for my I.D. I could feel the intimidation rolling off of him.

I made my way over the back of the room and sat in a vacant booth. It was secluded enough for me to hide but still be seen. I got a great view of the whole room. I just kept my eyes alert and ready for anything. I don't spend too much time near humans anymore. I had reverted back to drinking from humans because it's what's best for me. I didn't have someone constantly nagging at me to watch myself or someone to tell me I won't hurt anyone.

I sat there for a lot longer them I expected to but I couldn't bring myself to leave. I kept contemplating on leaving until I smelled the most exotic smell. It was nothing I had ever smelled before. It made my mouth fill with venom. I swallowed it back and scanned the room for its owner. I kept inhaling it and thinking about what it could be. It didn't smell human but at the same time it did. I finally found the owner of the smell.

My eyes went wide and my mouth dropped. "Oh, mother of god," I whispered to myself. She stiffened. That's odd. She was leaning forward over the bar flirting with the bartender who seemed to be completely flustered. She stumbled with her words when asked a question. "May I have the best whiskey free of charge?" she asked with a seductive voice with her eyes locked with the female bartender. I reached out with my gift and felt her amusement. She was having fun. The girl willingly gave her the unopened bottle and a shot glass.

"No," she said. "I need two shot glasses." She opened the bottle and poured a shot for herself then did something I was never expecting. She bit her wrist and let it fill the second shot glass. I held my breath afraid I'd attack her. I was confused on how she did that and why. I wasn't paying attention when she whispered something to the bartender and slipped her a napkin and walked away. I fallowed her to her booth across the room. She was alone. I heard someone come up to me and set something down. I looked up to see the bartender smile and then speak. "This is for you, complaints for the young woman over there." She pointed to the who she was talking to earlier. When she walked away I looked down. It was the shot glass of blood and a napkin with beautiful handwriting.

It's not human but it'll take the edge off

And make you feel like you have never felt before.

K

I stared at the note debating on when she meant. Against my better judgement and shot it down like it was whiskey. The warm blood coated my throat and instantly relieve the burn. In fact, it was completely gone. I felt myself get warm and my senses became sharper and my gift became stronger. I stared open mouth at the glass fighting the urge to swirl my tongue inside the glass.

I then heard her laugh. Her laughter was the sweetest sound I have ever heard in the century I have existed. She was on the dance floor dancing. She was so sexy and Peter was right. She's the most gorgeous woman in this bar. I studied her as she danced. She was wearing short blue denim shorts with a belt that had the confederate flag in it buckle with her white tank top tucked in just in front on the belt. She had on boots that hugged her defined long legs. When I reached her face she was smiling. Her natural red lips were the perfect size for mine. Her long auburn hair hung a few inches above her perfect ass. She had a hat on. She was perfect. I wanted to see more of her, I wanted to hold her and kiss her tenderly. Whoa, whoa, whoa! I thought to myself. Where the hell did that come from?! But it was true. It's how I felt.

I could feel the lust of the men that were dancing all around her. I hissed and got up. As I approached one of the men grabbed her ass. That didn't sit well with her because she turned too quickly and shoved his arm behind him. I stood there and watched in awe as she pushed him on the nearest table and pressed his face into the center. His lip was bleeding from the forceful contact.

Her facial features changed as she seen it. Under her unusually midnight blue eyes were very prominent veins. The whites of her eyes were red with more veins and her mouth bared her teeth. I noticed she had two long perfectly pointed teeth on the top of her jaw. I could feel the fear coming from the man and the anger coming from this girl.

"That's no way to treat a lady." I said leaning against the table. "What do you say?" I pushed an extra dose of fear at him. He nearly pissed himself. "I-I'm sorry ma'am." I lowered my eyes to meet his. "Now leave before I become your worst nightmare!" I growled and bared my perfect teeth. "Yes, sir." She let him go and he stumbled as he ran out of the door.

"So ma'am," I said tipping my hat. "Would you like to dance?" She smiled. Her features have returned to normal. "Of course," "Jasper," I said. "Of course, Jasper." She said and pulled me back to the dance floor. I pulled her to me by her waist as she started dancing to the beat.

"So Darlin', what's your name?" She giggled. "Karliah," she said. "It means covered in snow or strong and womanly." Her breath was intoxicating the smell made my head spin. "It's beautiful, just like you." I whispered. Karliah let out another giggle. "Well thank you handsome. I think Jasper suits you."

She stopped smiling and stared as if she wasn't paying attention. Her eyes moved. It reminded me of Alice. I went to step away but she held me there. "Don't move," she whispered. "Please," Karliah smiled again and looked at me."Your name means keeper of treasure."

Without thinking I said. "What are you?" her smile faltered and she stepped away this time."You really don't know?" she asked. I shook my head no. "Come," she grabbed my hand and pulled me towards the door. She led to the parking lot and to a very big lifted truck. It was black and in pristine condition. "See what you like?" she asked fishing out her keys. Karliah's voice snapped me out of my trance.

"Wait," I said. I quickly ran over to grab my bike. "Do you mind?" she shook her head no. What she did next shocked me. What would have been a blur to humans was a perfect sight for me. She was in the bed of the truck with the tail gate already down. I shook my head and walked my bike over to the end of the truck. She grabbed it and pulled it into the bed without effort and no help from me. Ok she was defiantly not human.

On instinct I was in the truck with her pinned to the floor. "What are you?" I growled out. She just laughed. She wasn't scared or intimidated. I pushed fear her way but she pushed it back. I shot back and sat up. "If you must know now," she sighed. "I'm exactly what you seem to be." And with a casual look she jumped out and into the driver's side.
