This is my new story. Stephenie Meyer owns everything! I referenced a little from Midnight Sun for the first chapter, but should be a little more original after this.:)

First Sight

Alice POV

High school; the place where my siblings, my husband, and I spent a third of our lives on week days. Edward and I were playing the role of juniors while Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper were seniors. This wasn't very great because I only had one class with Jasper because of our grade difference.

I focused my attention on Jasper and saw the half grimace on his face.

Edward. I called my brothers name in my head, and knew that I had his attention immediately.

How is he holding up? I asked in my thoughts.

A frown appeared on his face.

My alarm immediately picked up. Is there any danger? I asked silently. I flipped through visions of Jasper's possible future for the rest of the day.

I saw Edward move his head slightly to the left as if peering at something and then to the right. I knew immediately that he was shaking his head at my question.

I relaxed slightly. Let me know if it gets too bad. I thought. He moved only his eyes to the ceiling and then to the table, letting me know that he would.

Thanks for doing this.

We hadn't hunted for two weeks now. A little uncomfortable at times, but fairly manageable, but for Jasper; it was a whole different story.

I trusted him with his control. He never gave himself enough credit for how hard he tries at this life style, but at these times he was very dangerous. We were all dangerous actually, any wrong move that a human made could end their lives in an instant.

A girl passed the table closest to ours to talk with a friend. She flipped and ran her fingers through her sandy hair. The heater sent her scent in our direction.

My mouth watered and I cut off my breathing as I felt the intense burn at the base of my throat. I turned my head slightly to assess Jasper's reaction.

He sucked in a breath and his eyes turned black. I quickly flew into the future to see what he was going to do. It went back and forth continuously until I came out of the snippets to view everything from my own eyes.

Edward kicked Jasper's seat under the table. Their eyes met for a moment and then Jasper looked down.

"Sorry" he muttered as his eyes and emotions screamed shame.

Edward just shrugged at him.

"You weren't going to do anything" I murmured to him. "I could see that" I said to him.

I saw Edward's mouth twitch as I said this. He knew that I lied about it, but I knew that he would protect my secret.

"It helps a little if you think of them as people" I said quickly but in a high soprano voice that no human would have a chance of hearing. "Her name is Whitney; she has a baby sister that she adores. Her mother invited Esme to that garden party, do you remember?" I said.

"I know who she is" Jasper said curtly. He turned away to stare out one of the large windows. His tone ended the conversation.

I sighed silently and took my untouched tray of food with me and leaving him alone. I knew that he wanted some space now and I reluctantly gave him some. I walked out the door of the cafeteria that led to outside.

I sat down and pulled out my notebook and started to do my biology homework. This would take me all of five minutes at the most but I would rather do it now than at home. I didn't even have to open my book; I could easily look into the future and see the book in my head.

I finished with a minute to spare. I started to walk to my class when I heard Emmett's familiar voice. "So, is the new one afraid of us yet?" he asked. There was no response given so I dropped it and went to my geometry class.

I sat down in my seat in the back as Ms. Weber came into the classroom. Everyone took their seats as the bell rang.

Class dragged on as we learned about surface area. This was really boring, learning this for the twentieth time probably.

I looked into the future continuously, wanting to make sure that Jasper would be alright through the rest of the day.

The bell rang and I left my class quickly. I walked to the English building and took my seat in my next lass. All I had to do was last one more hour.

Thank god! The bell rang and I was free from this hell hole for today. I walked swiftly to the Volvo and slid into the front seat.

Moments later the two back doors opened and Emmett, Jasper, and Rosalie came in. "Hey lil sis" Emmett said as he ruffled my hair. I smiled and swatted his hand away from me.

"Where's Edward?" Rosalie asked annoyed. I looked out my window and saw him walking really fast towards the car.

He appeared in the driver's side in seconds. He shut the door and immediately started gasping.

"Edward?" I asked with alarm filling my voice. He just shook his head at me.

"What the hell happened to you?" Emmett demanded. Instead of answering his question Edward started the car and put the car in reverse and sped off. He quickly accelerated to seventy.

Rosalie, Jasper, and Emmett all looked in my direction. I shrugged. I knew I had missed something so I looked into the future.

My jaw dropped and I could feel that Edward was surprised too. "You're leaving" I whispered. This got everyone's attention turned to Edward.

"Am I" he hissed between gritted teeth as another vision of a totally different outcome was formed.

"Oh" was all I managed as I saw a girl, Bella Swan, lying dead as Edward's eyes were a strong crimson color.

"Oh" I said again as the vision became more vivid.

I saw the interior of Chief Swan's house as Bella was in the kitchen. Edward was outside the house waiting for the perfect moment.

"Stop" he moaned from beside me.

"Sorry" I whispered with wide eyes.

The vision shifted again, back to the highway. Edward made the right choice.

"I will miss you, no matter how short of a time you are gone" I said to him. We were almost at the turn off to our driveway when I stopped him.

"Drop us off here, you need to tell Carlisle yourself" I told him. He did exactly that and the car screeched to a halt. Emmett, Rosalie, and Jasper got out in silence.

I touched his shoulder. "You will do the right thing. She's Charlie Swan's only family, it would kill him too" I said to him.

Edward just nodded. I sighed and slid out of the car. We ran home quickly and in silence but I knew it wouldn't last.

As soon as we were inside they all turned to me. Esme had come to join us. "How was school?" she asked as she looked around at all of us. "Where is Edward?" she asked

"Going to see Carlisle" I said to her. That was half of the truth.

"Why is something wrong?" she asked as her face held confusion.

I took a breath and looked out the window. "He is leaving for a while" I murmured as I turned back to her.

Her face made me feel awful. "Why is he leaving?" she asked as a small sob escaped her throat.

I felt a calm atmosphere settle in and turned to Jasper and smiled softly. I walked up to Esme and hugged her gently and then pulled away. "Charlie Swan, his daughter Isabella Swan moved in over the weekend. Today was her first day of school and-" Esme's breath caught as she thought of the worst thing that could have happened. "No, nothing happened. Her scent…it was intoxicating to him and he couldn't take it. He was fighting with himself for two hours on whether to kill her or not. He couldn't take it…so….he left" I finished as I looked down at the floor.

The room fell completely silent as I finished my story. "I am so sorry, this is my fault. If I had seen it I could have helped out before it got out of hand" I whispered.

A soft, reassuring hand rested on my shoulder. "No, Alice, it's not your fault" Esme said in front of me, trying to reassure me. Jasper was trying to help from what I could fee.

I just nodded and turned around to the anxious person behind me. I gave my husband a sad smile and looped my hand in his.

Esme went to sit in the chair in the family room and we all followed warily. This really upset her; if any of us ever left without a goodbye or anything for that matter it would upset her. She loved us all as if we were her real children.

Emmett and Rosalie sat on the couch and Jasper sat on the chair opposite Esme and welcomed me in his arms. I sat in his lap and his arms worked themselves around me gently.

We all sat here for a while in each others company and in complete silence until we heard a very familiar car engine turn, coming down our long driveway.

Esme sat up and gasped. The sound was from Edward's Volvo and I knew exactly what she was thinking. "Edward?" she asked as she stood up.

I just shook my head. "I am really sorry. Edward went to talk to Carlisle about his decision and met him at the hospital. They traded cars because Carlisle thought it would be easier for Edward to get around if he chose to go down south for a while" I murmured to her. "He has chosen to go to Denali for a while though" I told her as I looked into Edward's future.

She nodded and her face turned into a frown. Moments later the front door opened and Carlisle walked in with a weak smile as he took in all of our faces. He walked over to Esme and hugged her gently. She buried her head in his chest and he kissed the top of her head. He rubbed her back gently and then they pulled away.

"Did you tell them everything?" Carlisle asked as his head spun around to look at me.

"Yes" I murmured. He nodded and turned back to Esme.

I stood up and Jasper did as well. "I am really sorry" I apologized again, feeling like this whole situation was my fault.

Carlisle smiled at me. "Edward knew you would blame yourself for this. He told me to tell you that it is not your fault. This is his problem not yours and you shouldn't worry" he spoke softly

Carlisle and Esme excused themselves and went upstairs. I turned to Jasper. "Do you want to come hunting with me?" I asked quietly

He nodded and we walked to the back door and in the next moment we were flying through the forest. We hopped over the lake in one easy leap and continued on. We came to a stop as the scent hit my nose. I disappeared as Jasper went in the other direction scenting something else.

A deer was eating grass as I slowly neared it. In half of a second I was right next to the deer with my teeth in its neck, draining it immediately. I drained another deer and went off to find Jasper.

I found him sitting down in the grass and walked quietly up behind him. I placed my hands on his shoulders and squeezed. I knelt behind him and put my lips close to his ear. "What's up?" I murmured as my lips touched his ear.

His head turned to look at me and half smiled. "Just thinking" he replied as he looked up at the darkening sky.

His head turned back to the dead deer that lied about twenty yards away from us. Then I knew exactly what he was thinking about. "You are entirely too hard on yourself, Jazz. You should have a little more trust in what you can do, one day you may surprise yourself" I told him as I ran my fingers through his honey blonde locks.

I stood up and folded myself in front of him. He smiled down at me and pulled me into his lap. "If I had a little more control, I wouldn't have so much trouble" he murmured as he stroked my cheek.

"You are the newest to this lifestyle, of course it is going to be harder for you" I said to him softly. "Just give yourself some more time" I encouraged him.

He sighed. "You all started immediately after you were changed. I spent about ninety years feeding off of humans because of where and by whom I was changed by. I could have started so much-" I clasped my hand over his mouth so the rest of his sentence came out as a low mumble.

I hated to be reminded of his past. I hated to remember that he was once in pain on a daily basis and by so many different vampires. But when I really thought hard about it, I wouldn't be here today with him if it wasn't for that vile wench that stole his life. That was the only positive way that I could think of her. She had harmed him in so many different ways.

"That doesn't matter to me" I whispered as I kissed him softly on the cheek. "I love you the way you are now and the way you were, that will never change anything" I notified him with a smirk. I got a small chuckle out of him this time and I smiled.

The smile soon faded and he looked down at me again. "How bad was it for him?" he asked me.

"Really bad, it felt awful just watching it. You all saw her in the cafeteria. She was the one that Emmett was talking about with Edward" I said to him.

"That was her?" he asked me suddenly.

I nodded. "It was in his biology class right after lunch. She sat right next to him and didn't realize what danger she was in. It was what Emmett had gone through with that human girl about ten years ago, except Bella is still alive now" I murmured.

"Oh" he said. "He did the right thing then" he replied.

"What happened, Alice? You would normally never miss something like that, I know that that would not slip past you even for a second. What had you so distracted, darlin?" he asked as his southern accent slipped out.

"I was...busy" I murmured as i looked up at the sky.

"Watching me" he stated for me with a grim look on his features

I didn't want to lie to him so I just nodded. "I trust you completely, Jazz. I just worry about you, that's all. I hate seeing you like this" I said quietly as I leaned into him. "I shouldn't have missed that though, it was unacceptable" I muttered.

My mind floated back to Edard and Jasper picked up on it immediately.

I sighed and looked down at the ground. "He will be back sooner or later Alice. Just give him some time and a few hunting trips and he will be back. He knows that Esme and all of us will miss him and will eventually come home" he told me as he ruffled my hair.

My face must have looked unconvinced because he went on. "We all miss him, Alice, but he has to do the right thing to him first before he can do anything else" he insisted.

I smiled softly and stood with our hands clasped together. "I hope your right" I sighed as we made our way back to the house.
