I Would Never Forget You
Chapter One
Emergency.
Alice's POV
I inhaled Jasper's scent as I curled up next to him. He wrapped one arm around me and continued reading his book. I smiled, as I thought about how amazing our life was.
"What are you smiling about?" Jasper's voice pulled me out of my thoughts.
"Everything. I'm just…happy." I said struggling to explain what exactly I was happy about. He smiled back at me.
"Well I know you're happy." His golden eyes sparkled with happiness too.
"Well of course you knew how could I forget?"
He laughed as he shook his golden hair out of his eyes.
It's hard for me to imagine a life without Jasper. I have no memories of my human life and one of my very first memories of being a vampire was of him. I know he says I saved him, but he saved me too. Without Jasper, my life would be nothing.
Soon I heard Esme's soft footfalls coming down the hallway. She knocked timidly before entering.
"Jasper, dear?" She said. Jasper looked slightly surprised that Esme came looking for him.
"Yes, Esme?" He replied.
"Would you mind running to the hardware store and pick up a few things? I need to finish here before the cement dries." She held a small piece of paper in her hand.
"Of course Esme." Jasper said getting up. As he took the paper from her she looked like she was about to hug him but then thought better of it. He slid past her into the hallway and was gone. I heard the faint thrum of his motorcycle as he turned onto the road.
Esme sighed. I quickly sprung up from the bed and wrapped my arms around my mother. "He loves you a lot, you know." I said.
"I know." She said with a sad smile. "I just worry about him sometimes, maternal instincts."
I grabbed Esme by the hand and pulled her outside to finish her remodeling. We were expanding Rennesme's room. As I was helping Esme and Emmett lay the foundation I was plunged into a vision.
Jasper was coming up the road, not far from here, when suddenly a woman appeared in front of his bike. He swerved and the bike fell on its side, dragging Jasper along with it. After scrapping along the road a couple yards, Jasper rolled away from the bike. He lowered into a defensive crouch, his teeth barred. The woman sauntered forward her scarlet eyes wide as a smile spread across her face. "Hello Jasper." Maria said.
I came out of the vision, and nearly collapsed. Esme and Emmett were watching me intently.
"What did you see?" Emmett said.
"Jasper…" I whimpered. Seconds later Edward came barreling out of the house.
"We have to help him!" He said to me.
"What happened?" Esme said her eyes full of worry. I couldn't answer I was in shock. "Maria is back. Edward said. This sent me into motion. I just began to run. I heard Esme, Emmett, and Edward follow behind me. I ran towards the stretch of road from the vision, hoping I wasn't too late. My hope was in vain.
The motorcycle lay on its side forgotten. The road was empty. "Jasper!" I screamed into the forest, my voice becoming hysterical. "Jasper!" I began to follow his scent into the trees. He was gone. His scent drifted away. I heard Edward and Emmett searching the woods around me, and Esme's tearless sobs. I began to run again, but with no direction this time.
Soon it became too much. I fell to the ground in a sobbing heap. I wrapped my arms around my body, trying to hold myself together.
I lost track of time, I could have been lying in these leaves and mud for years. A gentle hand touched my shoulder. I couldn't hear Carlisle approach through my sobbing.
"Alice." He said. He picked me up into his arms. I buried my face into my father's shirt. "Carlisle, what are we going to do?"
As we approached the house, Carlisle set me on my feet. I didn't even pull the leaves out of my hair, I didn't care anymore, I just walked in. As soon as we were in the door, Bella bombarded me. "Oh Alice!" She cried as she hugged me. Rosalie ran over and gripped me too. "We'll find him Alice, we have too." She said, her voice hitched in her throat, like she was about to cry. I looked around the room, Edward, Emmett, and Carlisle stood near the stairs talking in low voices about Maria's motives. Then I noticed something. "Where's Esme?" I asked Bella.
"She's outside." She answered quietly.
"Why?"
"She's taking this pretty badly." Rosalie said.
I found Esme sitting by the river. Her caramel curls were billowing in the wind as her shoulder shook up and down. "Esme?" I said softly as I sat down next to her. "Alice…I'm so sorry." She said quietly. "I should have never asked him to run those errands. It's all my fault."
"Esme! This is not your fault! Maria would have found Jasper another way." I said, reaching out for her. "I don't blame you, and neither would Jasper."
She turned and took me in her arms, and we cried together.
The moon soon melted away and the sun rose, Esme and I still sat by the river. And I couldn't help but wonder, where in the world my love was. And I wish I could tell him we were coming for him.
