Alice X Jasper : Finding the Future

Alice felt herself slip away as another vision hit her. That man stood there again, searching for someone but not finding it yet again. She'd been having these repeated visions for almost a year but still hadn't learnt his name or who he was. All she knew was that she had to find him. Even in her subconscious she was drawn to him, without knowledge of when or where she would find him. She hoped soon.

He stood tall in her visions, dressed in military uniform from the US civil wars. His bright scarlet eyes showed her that like so many of their kind he drank blood. He was covered in scars, surviving many vampire attacks. His blond messy hair suited him well, falling over some of his face. He would always be intently searching, but never finding what he desired. It was driving her insane. When would she finally find him?

She stalked into the next town, trying to stay out of the eyes of the passersby. They tended to stare in her experience. Disappointment shrouded her face as she realised he wasn't here.

Alice carried on walking, stopping only when she came to a stream a couple of miles out the town. Sh*t! How long would she have to endure this? She desperately wanted to meet him. It hurt not seeing him, although they had never met. She angrily kicked the water, splashing the rocks on the other side of the stream.

That was when it hit her. She felt it creep in again, as it had many times before. He stood there yet again, searching. She saw him enter a bar this time though and ask for a beer which he didn't really drink. She could feel it. He was close. She would probably meet him in the next few days.

Happiness flooded her as she realised they would be together soon, her and the handsome mystery man. She pressed her hands to her forehead, trying to search for a name before her eyes snapped open.

Jasper.
