Chapter One – Umm….Weird

APOV

My life was overflowing with stress and it was starting to show. A lot.

I'm not saying that I didn't love every second of it; it was just a lot of stress for one person.

My little girl – Anneliese – had long honey blond hair and gorgeous green eyes. Jasper, well he loved us like nothing else mattered. I adored them both.

Anneliese was turning three in two weeks and Jasper and my four year anniversary was in three days. I was working at the local grocery store and I was trying to start a fashion line. That wasn't working so great; I mean, my clothes were awesome, but it didn't fit in to my time schedule.

"Momma!" Squealed Anneliese when I got home.

"Hey Anna, how was your day?"

"Daddy pwayed with me awl day!"

"What did you play?" I picked her up and walked the house.

"We pwayed hide and seek." She laughed. I sighed, making a mental note to talk to Jasper about that. Anneliese was a really good hider and she NEVER came out until someone found her.

"Who won?" I asked, putting my worries aside.

"Me! Daddy is easy to find."

"Hmm. I bet he is, or maybe you're just a good seeker." I kissed her head. She shrugged. Jasper came out to see me.

"Hello Alice." He hugged both of us. "How was your day?"

"Okay. I heard you played hide and seek." I put a little extra emotion into the last bit.

"Unwillingly; she hid in her room and the second I found her, she ran off again." He shrugged. "You know how it is."

"I know." I rolled my eyes. "How was your day?"

"Good. There is a list of instructions on your bed. Follow them and don't do anything they say not to."

"Jazz….?"

"Here, give me Anneliese and go." He said. I gave her to him and went to my room. There was a sheet of notebook paper on my pillow. I read step one:

Pick out your favorite design and put it on how you think you'll look best.

I didn't quite understand, but I did what it said. I found my short, pale blue dress and put it on, makeup, hair and shoes included. Now step two:

Close your eyes and walk to the kitchen. Despite what happens, don't open your eyes!

I closed my eyes and walked into the kitchen. Someone- Jasper I'm guessing- threw a blindfold over my eyes and tied it.

"Jasper…what's going on?" I asked. He didn't answer; he just picked me up and walked somewhere. I could feel that we were in a car, but I couldn't tell where we were going.

"Okay, take my hand and follow me." He said getting me out of the car. I followed him warily. We walked for a long time, turning corners and going up small hills.

"Jasper…." I was going to protest but he cut me off.

"Shh. We're almost there." He said.

Finally, about six minutes later, he pulled off the blindfold.

I gasped.

Please review if you want to. I'll try to update normally, but I'm trying to manage like four or five stories at this point and I don't want to leave one behind. Please stick with it though. Thanks!!
