There he was. That blonde vampire from my visions. Right here, right in front of me. I should have been accustomed to seeing him, but just the notion of having him within reach was all too much. He was more beautiful than in my visions, he seemed more perfect.
"Hello, I'm Alice," I said, sitting down next to him. The bench creaked slightly as he subtly inched away from me. My eyes were far too sharp, I could see he was holding his breath, afraid of the scent of human blood. "I'm just like you, don't be afraid, breathe," I offered. He glanced at me in alarm, possibly wondering how I knew his true nature. He seemed to believe me, though, and took in a deep breath. "See? No harm done." I stated, smiling. "How… how do you know me?" he breathed, almost in a whisper.
"Your name is Jasper Hale, you're a vampire. You worked for Maria, but now you're trying to get away. You live in the south, where all the chaos is –." I began, but he cut me off. "I know who I am, I want to know HOW you know me," he said, exasperated. He still didn't want to look at me. "I'm, I'm Alice. And, I have visions, premonition you see. You seem to be appearing in them, as though I'm looking for you. It's weird, really." I smiled.
"So you're a vampire too?" he asked. A soft whisper. Loud enough only for my sensitive ears to hear. I nodded, still not breaking my gaze on his face.
Then, silence. Nothing but the rustling of the leaves. It was late after all. I decided to make the first move. In a flash, I siddled up next to him, and put my hand on his arm, lightly. His eyes flashed over mine briefly, wide and alarmed. His body was tense the moment we touched, but eventually, it relaxed. "Relax, I'm not here to harm you!" I laughed. He was every bit the man I saw in my visions.
He hadn't said much yet, so I proceeded to tell him our next step, should he agree to it. "There's this family, another coven of vampires. The head, his name is Carlisle. Carlisle Cullen. I've seen his family almost as much as I've seen you…"
"And you'd like me to go with you, to this family?" he guessed.
Just in that second alone, another vision came to me. Jasper and I, stepping into the Cullen home. I knew he would agree to it! I could feel my face light up. "I knew it!" I shouted joyously, leaping into his arms in all my excitement.
This time, he was not shocked, nor alarmed. He simply looked dazed. I had wrapped my arms around him in a hug, and he returned it. Pulling me close to him. "Yes, yes, I'd go where ever you go."
AN : I've been having troubles writing out my story New Beginnings, so please don't hope for a new chapter for that soon. I will leave it up though, incase I get some inspiration. Suggestions&reviews please!
