He longed for her the moment he had laid his eyes on her. However, she shall remain oblivious. This he promises.

Prologue

He noticed her the moment she stepped foot in the room. And the moment he looked at her, he felt a million things all at once.

Her smell. It was her smell first. In all his years of living, it was nothing like he'd ever smelt before. It was indescribable. If it was even possible, he thought he felt a chill run through him. Her scent reminded him of the rain. Earthy and fresh.

He then took in her appearance. She had long, wavy, dark hair. Even from across the room and with the assistance of his heightened senses, he noticed her eyes. Like her hair, they were dark, almost black. Her soft lips were a light rose color and it fascinated him. Her skin was lightly tanned. Tan enough to the point where he knew she was not from sunny-less Forks. All in all, she was beautiful.

Then smell of her blood hit him with full force. It was sweet and he was instantly intoxicated.

And just like that, he could feel his mouth fill with venom. A hunger he had never felt before pervaded him to his core. It didn't help that it had been a few weeks since he last fed. He already had trouble containing his urges around humans, even with Alice's help. But unfortunately she was not there now to help him control himself.

Jasper gripped the edge of the table, leaving a noticeable dent in it's metal surface. He looked down and noticed his reflection on the stainless steel. His eyes had completely darkened. This was not good.

He watched as the teacher pointed her over towards his direction, indicating the empty seat by his side. There was a reason why Jasper chose to sit all the way in the back and away from everyone else. To avoid situations like these, especially if Alice was not there.

As she made her way towards the seat, Jasper knew he had to get out. Or else he would loose all control. Thus, before the class started filling in with the rest of the students, and before she could notice, Jasper bolted out of the room. Thoughts of finding a substitute to satiate his hunger immediately raced through his mind. As he made his way out of the school's building, he forced out all images of the dark-haired beauty, in fear that Edward would be able to read his thoughts.

It was right then and there that Jasper swore to himself. He swore that he would not allow her to see into their dark world. To protect her and others, he swore that he would never get too close. He would remain at a distance, even though the thought of it bothered him greatly. He would put all thoughts of her in the back of his mind especially whenever Edward was near.

He must not know that the girl was his singer.

But most of all, Jasper did not want to hurt Alice. He loved Alice. And to hurt her would greatly hurt him.

Jasper grimly laughed to himself as he rushed into the nearby forest. It was ironic how for a vampire who had the power to control and sense other's emotions, he himself had a very thin grasp over his very own at that very moment.
