Two Moons Meet Two Suns Chapter 1: All that glisters is not gold, a twilight fanfic

A/N: Okay, here we go. This story is back and going forward! Thanks for the never-ending support everyone!

Quick note: There is a PoV change in this chapter, but I'm planning on sticking to one point of view for the rest of the story.

Alice PoV

I ran my hand through my inky black hair for the fourth time today, sixteenth time this week. It was ridiculous to be so impatient; it was only my third day of waiting for this mysterious blonde, Jasper Whitlock. The main problem wasn't with the waiting, it was the city itself. I was starting to get annoyed by Philadelphia; the city was too crowded and the animals there were to hunt seemed so minuscule when compared to those of the vast wilderness. Even this small diner seemed too crowded, despite it only having five occupants. I stared nervously at the door and recalled my previous vision of the future again.

A young woman was sitting on a stool, focusing on the green door of a diner, her eyes switching from to the wall clock every few seconds. Then, at exactly 4:15 P.M., a man walked in through the door, soaked from the rain. The woman quickly stood up and pushed away from the counter with a wide grin. As she walked towards this the man, he evaluated her with his dark eyes cautiously. The lass stopped in front of him and said,

"You've kept me waiting a long time"

He relaxed slightly and bowed his head. "I'm sorry ma'am."

Her smile widened and she held out her tiny hand to him, and he took it without hesitation. Together, the strange couple walked out of the diner.

I leaned against the counter, readying myself to leave. The clock had struck 4:15 thirty seconds ago and I was sure that he wouldn't be coming, after all, my vision hadn't specified the exact date, only the time of day and the wet weather. This Jasper fellow could be coming months, or maybe even years from now! I thought but, suddenly, I was struck by his scent. It wasn't something was sure to forget, it smelled distinctly of the sun. I was sure it was him, because the scent was clearly vampiric, and what other vampire would be walking around the city in the middle of day? Sure enough, the battered green door of the diner opened, the bell above it ringing joyfully, announcing the arrival of a wet gentleman who looked extremely burdened to be in this small room.

I hopped off of the high stool and walked towards him. His nose flared infinitesimally as he took in my scent. His black eyes glanced warily into mine and widened when he saw my two golden orbs. We held each others' gaze as I reached him, two moons meeting two suns.

Gracefully, I stopped in front of him. "You've kept me waiting a long time."

Then, exactly as my vision had seen it, his shoulders relaxed slightly and he bowed in front of me. "I'm sorry ma'am," he apologized in a beautiful southern accent. I smiled and held out my hand towards him. Immediately, he took it.

I pulled him towards the green door and together, we left the diner. I had a smile across my face as I realized what I was feeling. It was hope. An extremely large amount of it. I glanced sideways at his face. It looked slightly confused, but, for the most part, optimistic. My smile widened more than I thought possible. "My name is Alice, by the way."

Jasper smiled as he glanced at me too and replied, "I'm Jasper and I hope you don't mind me asking, but why were you waiting for me?" We reached the edge of the dirt road and he stopped in the road, not caring for the rain falling on us. I frowned slightly, I knew I could trust him, but I hadn't told anyone about my visions before and I certainly didn't want him to think of me as a freak.

I sighed and pulled him into the cover of a small tree, which kept the rain off of us. He looked relieved, so I guessed he disliked the rain almost as much as I did. My hair simply didn't look good when it was wet. "Well," I hesitated. "I see possible outcomes of the future. I saw you walking into the diner, and us meeting each other, so I set off to find you." I smiled at the thought. I had been lonely waiting for him, and I hoped that he wouldn't decide to leave me all alone.

Jasper laughed and asked, "You see the future? That's a lot better than my gift!" I just gave him a confused look. Gift? He was special too? He noticed my look and quickly replied, "I can feel and manipulate emotions."

"Really?" I pondered this. "Okay, what am I feeling now?"

"Excitement and a bit of uncertainty." '

"Wow, you're good! This is going to be a great relationship Jasper, I can tell." I smiled at him and suddenly, a vision came to me.

Jasper and Alice walked out of the forest's edge and towards a Victorian house in the middle of the clearing. A young man, in his late twenties, walked towards us too. He was followed by two women, one with caramel hair with a soft frame and the other with blonde hair and an angular frame. "Hello Carlisle, Esme, and Rosalie. I'm Alice and this is Jasper. We've seen so much about you and knew we needed to live with you!" Alice held out her hand as she spoke and, although surprised by her strange statement, they seemed comfortable with the two.

I snapped back into the present and squealed in delight. "Oh Jasper! Thank you so much! I didn't want to have to go to them alone! This means so much for our future, but you wouldn't understand!" I was bouncing up and down in excitement.

Jasper just laughed and sat onto the ground. He pulled me onto the ground and I sat in his lap, my head resting on his chest. "Why don't you start from the beginning? Who are we going to meet?" I was thrilled at our intimacy and I knew he was too. We had both been lonely creatures, but now we were together.

"Fate has thrown us another chance Jasper! The Cullen family is who we are going to meet. They are a group of vampires that feed only off of animals! That's why I have golden eyes; I know you must have been curious about that earlier."

Jasper stiffened. "You don't feed off of humans? How is that possible?" Confusion started to seep into my being and I knew at once it was Jasper's unconscious doing.

"Animals Jasper! Animals are almost as filling as humans are! It will take some adjusting, I've only been on the animal diet for a couple years, but slowly, it's getting easier. We can help each other out and live happily with the Cullen family. Currently, they have five members, but I see that they would happily let us join them. It'd be so nice. Do you want to go?"

He just gazed at me, taking in my absolute sureness and excitement over this family. He frowned slightly but nodded. I squealed again and hugged him tightly. He just laughed again and hugged me back. "So when are we off to meet this family?"

I looked into the sky. It was twilight, my favorite time of day. "Let's go now. I can't wait to start my future. But first, I'll help you hunt. You need to start my diet immediately."

Jasper smiled and said, "I think I might enjoy that."

We stood and, hand in hand, we ran into the nearby forest, our destiny waiting was for us.

Jasper PoV

Stupid. Stupid. Stupid. I kept repeating the word in my head. I was already half-way into the town and it was raining heavily. I hated the rain almost as much as I hated feeding off of humans. Rain just symbolized my loneliness, my inability to cry, and the wetness brought a great deal of discomfort to me, a mix from the humans' emotional reactions and my own. To top it all off, I was thirsty.

I hadn't gone hunting in weeks, and I was beginning to feel weakness. I knew I needed to get out of the city fast, but I didn't want to raise any suspicion. I saw a small diner to my left and decided to wait out the storm in there. Hopefully, there would be few humans, so I could ignore the thirst. My eyes were dark enough, so I could blend in easily.

I opened the green door and cursed silently at the little bell on top of the door. I hated drawing more attention to myself then needed. As soon as I stepped through the doorway, the scent hit me. Automatically, I stiffened. The scent was partially floral and very sweet. It was another vampire.

I fought back an instinctual growl as a teenager with pixie-like qualities stood and walked away from the counter towards me. Her grace was stunning; it was almost like she was dancing towards me. My eyes met hers warily and we locked gazes. Two beautiful suns were staring at me. They were full of a passion that I couldn't pinpoint at the moment. Her emotions were strange and new to me, but I liked it.

She stopped in front of me with a smile on her face. "You've kept me waiting a long time," she said and I relaxed infinitesimally. Obviously, she wasn't going to attack me. I gave her a small smile and bowed my head.

"I'm sorry ma'am," was all I replied. She continued to stare at me with knowing eyes that confused me slightly. She held out her hand to me, and I took it without thinking. For some reason, this little creature was giving me hope, hope that I hadn't felt for nearly a century.

She pulled me out of the diner and we walked down the dirt road. It was still raining, but not as hard. I was completely relaxed but still confused. I marveled at the hopefulness that emanated from her. I know that we were right for each other.

"My name is Alice, by the way," her voice pulled me out of my thoughts. She was glancing sideways with a wide grin on her beautiful face.

I returned her smiled. "I'm Jasper and I hope you don't mind me asking, but why were you waiting for me?" She immediately frowned. Her emotions went from suspicious to trustful, but remained fearful. Why was she afraid of me? I stopped walking for we had come to the end of the dirt road. I barely noticed that the rain had starting picking up and I didn't care about the rain either; I had to know what Alice was thinking.

She pulled me under a tree on the side of the road. It kept us safe from the rain and I was instantly relieved. I truly hated being wet, and she seemed to too. "Well," she hesitated before continuing. "I see possible outcomes of the future. I saw you walking into the diner, and us meeting each other, so I set off to find you." She smiled, obviously remembering the visions. I just laughed at the possibility. I was also slightly jealous.

"You can see the future? That's a lot better than my gift!" A wave of confusion hit my and I winced slightly. For someone with a small body, she had a great amount of emotion. "I can feel and manipulate emotions." I explained quickly.

"Really? Okay, what am I feeling now?" she asked, a challenge in her voice.

"Excitement and a bit of uncertainty."

"Wow, you're good! This is going to be a great relationship Jasper, I can tell." We both smiled at the thought. Suddenly, her eyes went blank and she was devoid of any emotion. Some instinct told me she was having a vision, so I watched her quietly, fascinated at what she could possibly be seeing at the moment. Seconds later, light returned to her golden eyes and she squealed in delight. Happiness radiated from her and I couldn't help but become excited too.

"Oh Jasper! Thank you so much! I didn't want to have to go to them alone! This means so much for our future, but you wouldn't understand!" She started bouncing up and down and I laughed at her. Our hands were still intertwined, so I pulled her to the ground and she sat on my lap, leaning her head against my chest. This felt so natural, and yet I knew no one else that I would let be so intimate with me. She was thrilled and both of us were smiling. Indeed, this relationship was already a great thing in my life.

"Why don't you start from the beginning? Who are we going to meet?"

I stiffened at the thought of not hunting humans. The fact that there was a different feeding possibility that I could have had all this time… it was mind numbing. My depression from could be gone, I realized. No more killing innocent people. But I stopped myself; I didn't want to get my hopes up.

"You don't feed off of humans? How is that possible?" I felt a great amount of confusion and barely noticed that I had sent the emotion to Alice.

I stared at Alice. What she was saying was too good to be true. I frowned, how could this wonderful creature be here? Surely she was an angel; she had given me hope and a possibility for a wonderful future. I frowned slightly but nodded. I needed to remain with Alice, letting her go would surely kill my heart for a second time.

Alice squealed in delight again and wrapped her arms around me. I laughed again and returned her hug. "So when are we off to meet this family?"

Alice looked into the sky and I followed her gaze. It was twilight and I suppressed a sigh. Another day went by without me murdering an innocent human. Fate definitely favored me today, and I was sad that it was almost over.

"Let's go now. I can't wait to start our future. But first, I'll help you hunt. You need to start my diet immediately."

I smiled and said, "I think I might enjoy that."

We stood and remained hand in hand. Running into the forest, I knew that my future was held in the hands of Alice. I was happy.

End Notes: Okay, so I made small changes throughout the chapter, nothing major. If anyone knows what Jasper's true scent is, please do tell me in a review! I believe Bella staetes it in Breaking Dawn, but I don't currently have a copy of it with me.

Haha! Reviews loved! Criticism is awesome!
