AN: song to listen to while reading this chapter; 'The Kill (Bury Me)' by 30 Seconds to Mars
…..
There's only love in the moonlight…
It's morning when Jasper returns. "You were right." I say. This is new to me. Evangeline Parker-Jones is Always right, until now.
"What do you remember of yourself, you know, before this life?" he says.
"I was born in Melbourne, Australia. I was your classic "Rich Girl". I had everything, except a man. Then one day, he shows up. We start talking and all of a sudden I'm desperately in love with him. It felt weird. He invited me to Volterra with him. I had no choice. It was like he was forcing me to go. I dropped everything, to go be his Italian Princess."
I can feel tears prickling in my eyes. Jasper is about to talk, when I interrupt, "When we arrived, he would make me hide, during the day. We would meet up at night. One night, while I was waiting for him, a woman ran out from behind me. She grabbed me and pulled me into a giant hall. I tried to fight off the crowd who were coming for me, but they were too strong. The last thing I remember is falling to the floor."
There is a bitter silence. A short girl with brown hair enters the room. She runs to me. Obviously, she has heard everything. She hugs me. "Alice," says Jasper, his eyes glaring at the girl, "stop. Don't get all buddy with her. She isn't staying here." And just like that, once again, I have no home.
