Newborn a.k.a. the story of Jasper Whitlock Hale
{Jasper's POV} Today was the day I was going to leave Maria and her army. I glanced around looking for Maria or any of the newborns. It was dark so I had to be careful where i walked. Looking around I carefully made my way to the door of the large barn we had inhabited. I took one last look around the barn making sure i had everything then bolted for the woods. I found a tree climbed up it and hid in the leaves. The sun was beginning to rise and I could hear Maria calling for me, she must have found out i left, like i cared now. I grabbed the dew things i had and ran eventually running faster and faster reaching an open clearing with lots of brush. I nestled into the brush and fell into a light sleep. Suddenly the sound of gun shots filled the air I jumped up and looked around fast but I saw no hunters only a false alarm. I was already missing Texas, i knew I had crossed the border. I kept running through the dense woods. The moon shown through the dark night sky. I overheard humans in the distance and I froze I tried my hardest to ignore them but the need for blood was far too excruciating. I lost all intention of ignoring them and I sank my teeth into their necks. Their blood was sweet, I savored every drop of it. After feeding I disposed of the bodies in the lake quickly and stealthy. The stars shown brighter wherever i was. It was so peaceful. I layed out on the ground and fell asleep and dreamed of the life I would have once I had found my place in the world. The next day I continued traveling. I was walking through the crowded streets of Philadelphia one day, it was raining and I could hear thunder in the distance. I came across a small diner with humans outside it but I went in anyway. There was a small girl sitting at the bar, when I came in she walked up to me smiling and said I kept her waiting long enough. She held her hand out and I took it without stopping and for once in almost a century...I felt hope.
Later That Day...
Alice had led me back to her hotel and she told me I could stay with her, one thought entered my mind what if i`m not what she expected?. I layed out on the bed and looked up at the ceiling. She sat beside me and asked if I was ok then I asked her about how she was changed since she knew how I was changed and everything about me. She told me her family put her in an asylum because of her visions, she had a sister named Cynthia. One thing that shocked me was she had no sire to teach her how to fight and what to do as I had. I could feel love emanating from her something I had never felt before. The more we talked the more I felt myself falling in love and I had just met her, how could I be in love already? Suddenly I was overcome by a wave of love and I could hardly help myself I was definitely in love now. Right before we went to bed she leaned over the side of my bed and kissed me.
best night ever
