Forever Love

Chapter One

There he was, as perfect as ever, sitting across the table from me. I had been starring at him through my family's whole thanksgiving dinner. But, I'm not sure he even knows I exist. Someday he will my mind told me. I sighed. I would wait forever for my beautiful Jasper.

"More pie, Alice dear?" my aunt asked me.

"No, thank you"

"Well if you change your mind, just let me know"

I nodded, completely lost in thought once again. When dinner was finished, I offered to clean the dishes. Then I heard a velvet voice say, "I'll help, too"

Jasper and I started taking the dishes into the kitchen and washing them off. While I was washing the last of the dishes, Jasper said "I'm Jasper, by the way. Who are you?"

"Alice"

"Alice? I love that name" he smiled.

"Thank you! Jasper is quite a nice name, also" I winked at him.

"Why, thank you, milady" he reached over to take my hand and bowed down to kiss it. That made me giggle, and he smiled in response.

Then he walked over to me, took both of my hands in his, and locked his eyes with mine.

"You have no idea how long I have waited for you to notice me" he said.

"Well, I was just about to say the same thing!"

Then he did something I didn't expect. He leaned his head down toward mine until our lips were together, moving with each other. I reached up to intertwine my fingers in his curly, blonde hair, deepening the kiss.

We stayed there until I heard the voice of my aunt saying "finally! We have been waiting for you two to get together since you first met!"

We laughed and Jasper pulled me in front of him, his arms around my shoulders.

"c'mon. Let go before someone else complains that we took too long to get together" I said. We walked into the living room, and sat down, side by side, as my family pulled out a game. Life. Hahaha. Ironic.

We played in teams, since there were too many of us to have us each have a game piece. In the end, Jasper, my mum, and I won.

The night continued just like that, our family's playing board games, laughing and having fun.

As sunset came, and my family pulled out yet another game, jasper leaned down and whispered in my ear "would you like to go on a walk with me?"

"I would love to. Let me grab my coat"

We stood up and went over to the closet to get our coats. Then we stepped into our shoes and went out the door. We walked together up and down the dark streets.

I was happier then I had ever been, just walking, hand in hand with my jasper.

Then we turned onto a street with very little light, and we saw two women at the end of it, huddled together.

As we walked up the street and closer to the women, they spun around to face us. With unbelievable speed, they ran in to us and started walking around us, talking in hushed whispers.

"They will both be special, we will change them" the taller of the two finally said.

Then she reached toward me. But Jasper pulled me behind him, taking a protective stance in front of me.

The tall woman just laughed at him, and put her mouth to his neck.

Jasper screamed in pain, and I screamed in fright. Then I was screaming for another reason.

An extreme pain was shooting through every part of my body.

The women left us, leaving us there in the street, suffering from whatever painful curse they had put upon us.

"Help us" was all I could whisper as I hoped someone would find us.
