The Lost Human

Jasper's POV

It was just another typical day and Alice and I had just finished hunting. It had been 50 years since Renesmee was born and ever since she had fully matured, she and Jacob have always been together.

Funny how time flied. One day you're the commanding officer for an army of vampires, but the next thing you know you've met the love of your life and now you're living happily with her and a family.

We were hunting in a forest in Oregon. Alice and I decided to walk home the long way and now we were almost there. That is, that was the plan until we both caught the scent from a few meters away.

It was the smell of a human.

We hurried to where it was coming from. This was one of the most dangerous parts of the forest, what would a human be doing here?

We were there in a matter of seconds, but we hid in the trees, so we wouldn't startle whoever it was.

Together, we both looked over to see who was here. I couldn't believe what I saw.

There, curled up in a ball at the bottom of the tree, was a little girl who looked to be about 5 years old.

She had on a dirt-covered, overly large t-shirt covering her small body. Her wavy blonde hair had leaves and twigs in it and it was in disarray.

She was using a long stick to dig in the dirt and this was causing for her to get even dirtier than she already was.

But what surprised me most of all were the feelings that were radiating off of her body. For a little girl to be lost in a forest such as this, it should have terrified her, but she didn't even look bothered by the fact that it was 30 degrees outside and she most likely had no idea where in the world she was. Her lips even looked a bit blue.

But no, she felt nothing from any of this, she felt as calm as someone on the walk by the beach.

Alice looked troubled and together we revealed ourselves to the human girl. I thought we would've at least startled her, but my I began to question myself when the girl picked up her head and looked up to see us.
