A/n hi everyone. Sorry about the delay on this. Thank you to everyone that read the first chapter. Just in response to a review I got, This will be Jasper/OC. Sorry to all the Jasper/Alice fans. On with the story. SPOILERS FOR BREAKING DAWNS PRESENT! STOP READING IF YOU DON'T WANT THE SPOILERS!
Across the other side of the United States, there was a small town of Forks. Forks was home to another Vampire Coven, called the Cullens. They lived their lives peacefully and had no problems except for the odd sunny day in this small misty town.
Jasper Hale was one of the oldest members of the coven. His family knew about his past, living with Vampires in the Vampire Wars during the early years of his Vampire life and his troubles of controlling his thirst for human blood. Jasper also believed that there were some areas of his early life better left untouched, so he always had a controlled train of thought around his adoptive brother, Edward who could read minds. Until that day, when everything changed.
Jasper was sitting on the sofa, reading a philosophy essay on vampirism. He had an interest in the subject of philosophy as he had studied it many times in different colleges. His wife, Alice and adoptive sister, Rosalie were playing with Renesmee, Edward and Bella's daughter. Her laughter filled the house, as she was laughing at Alice and Rosalie's faces as she projected her thoughts into their minds. Suddenly the laughter stopped and Jasper looked up.
"Alice, what's wrong?" asked Renesmee, in her musical voice.
Jasper looked at Alice. Her face was blank. She was having a vision. Jasper thought nothing of it and went back to his essay. He was used to his wife's visions. All of a sudden, he felt was wave of panic off Alice. It hit him like a brick wall.
"Alice?" he asked, alarmed.
He dropped the essay to the floor and shot to her side. He took her small hand in his large one and began to rub soothing circles on her back.
"Carlisle" he called, worried about his wife. Within a second, the whole coven was in the room. After what felt like an eternity for them, Alice finally came around. She blinked several times.
"Alice, what did you see?" asked Esme, in a concerned voice.
"Nothing, Nothing. I have to go" stammered Alice, in reply while jumping to her tiny feet and dating from the room. Jasper stood up as he heard a car roar to life and drive off. The family stood still in silence. They had never seen Alice act like that.
"Edward, did you heard any of her thoughts" asked Bella.
"Nothing much, but there was a tall woman with black, golden eyes and scars in her vision" he replied to his wife.
"How long was her hair?" asked Jasper.
Edward looked at Jasper, confused. Jasper raised his eyebrows.
"Floor length" replied Edward.
Those words hit Jasper like a ton of bricks. He felt panic slide into his stomach. He knew he could not let his family see or even feel the panic, which assaulted him. One word slipped into his mind, but he covered it hoping that Edward did not notice and he left the room, reciting the confederate anthem in his mind.
Bella looked after her brother in law, in worry.
"What is up with Jasper?" she asked, taking her daughter into her arms and cuddling her close. Edward shook his head.
"There was something in his thoughts. A name. We need to find out who Kathryn is" said Edward.
"Who?" enquired Esme.
"It's the name that just popped into his head, as soon as I told him the vampire's hair length" explained Edward.
"Well, there is nothing we can do until Alice's return" said Carlisle, and the family set about trying to kill time until Alice returned.

After what seemed like an eon, Jasper had to stop pacing or else he would wear a hole into the floor of the bedroom he shared with Alice. He tried to distract himself for hours, from Alice mysterious departure. He tried reading, writing, rearranging the bedroom, even hunting, but it was of no use. He had to keep his emotions in check or his family might begin to suspect something, He also had to watch his thoughts, in case Edward was feeling nosy.
The door opened and closed downstairs.
"Alice, we were all so worried, most of all Renesmee. The poor child was in an awful state without you" gasped Esme. Jasper dropped the book he was holding and ran downstairs.
"Alice, where were you?" he gasped, taking her tiny hands in his larger ones. Alice was standing in the centre of the living room, surrounded by the family. Jasper began to sample the air. Confusion was a main element present. Alice took a deep breath and released Jasper's hands.
"I need to explain some things" she said. "As you all know, I had a vision today. Jasper, you better sit down" she continued.
Jasper remained standing, still confused by his wife. Alice took an unnecessary breath.
"I had a vision of you, Jasper with another vampire. You and her were in a field, surrounded by fires as though a battle had just taken place, but you both looked at peace" she explained.
"Alice, was it the vampire, with long black hair, golden eyes and scars?" asked Edward.
Alice nodded once.
"That's impossible" said Jasper.
"So you know this Vampire?" asked Emmett.
"Yes, it sounds like Kathryn Masterson, an old friend of mine" replied Jasper.
"As in, back in the wars, old friend?" asked Rosalie. Jasper nodded.
"But, it's impossible. It can't be her. Kathryn is dead, along with her whole coven" he explained.
"How?" asked Esme, in shock.
Jasper shrugged his shoulders. "Last time I spoke to Kathryn, she agreed to be a witness for us against the Volturi. When Peter showed up here, he told me she was dead. She had contacted him, in hopes that him and Charlotte would travel with her and her coven to Forks. He arrived at her home in Battle creek, Michigan, he found the place burned to the ground and just piles of Vampire ashes" he explained.
"Who would do such a thing?" asked Rosalie.
"My money was on the Volturi. They tried to recruit her after she left the wars. She had a powerful gift. She could generate these shockwaves with her mind. She could break down walls with them or beat off hordes of newborns with them. It was the most powerful offensive shield I have seen in my vampire life, no offence Bella" he said.
"None taken" smiled Bella.
"This still doesn't explain why Alice ran off" said Emmett, bringing everyone back to topic.
"In my vision, Jasper and I were there but not as a couple" explained Alice, softly her voice barely above a whisper.
Jasper was hit by a wall of confusion and shock.
"What?" he asked.
"Jasper, you were with this female vampire and I was with my true mate" she finished. The room filled with silence. No one took a breath or moved and an inch.
"Then, it all went blank" she whispered.
"Blank?" asked Bella.
"Jasper, I can't see you future" explained Alice.
Jasper sat down, his head in his hand. His mate, his Alice was telling this to him. He heard her rummage in her bag.
"I went to sort out our legal affairs" she whispered, gently. Jasper's head shot from his hands.
"No" he croaked, "You can't leave me" he said in despair.
"I have too" replied Alice, emotionally.
Jasper looked at the legal document in his wife's tiny hand. It seemed so huge and daunting. He took it from her and began to read. Alice was using the reason, incomprehensible differences for the divorce.
"Could not use the real reason, could you?" he asked, angrily. "Oh, I am just leaving my husband of, give or take, sixty years, for a man that I have not met in my life but I had a vision of me happy with him, so it's all okay" he added, sarcastically.
Alice winced. Jasper picked up a pen and signed his name. He felt like he was signing his life away, his death warrant. He threw the form back at Alice and ran from the room, leaving a trail of pain behind him.

Jasper ran and ran, until he was sure that he was far enough away that Edward would not hear his thoughts. He stopped in a forest and let out an inhumane roar. He began to destroy anything that he could get his hands or teeth to, be in animal or tree. After smashing and destroying, a small hectare of land, Jasper fell on to his backside, not caring that his clothes were in ruins and began to dry sob.
"How is this possible?" he thought to himself.
The two people he had washed his hands of, the two people that had haunted him for over a century, were possibly alive. His fate was intertwined with the fate of Kathryn Masterson and the fate of their daughter, Ellie. Ellie, the half vampire, he had conceived when he was just four years into his vampire life and while Kathryn was still human.
"Alice is wrong" he said. "This will not have a happy ending" he predicted.
