Chapter Two
JPOV
We continued to walk at a human pace until we got away from others. I quickly learned that Alice was a very bubbly, happy, vibrant person, which was good for me, I didn't have to worry about her feeling completely sad or angry emotions. Those were always hard to handle with my gift. Controlling emotions is difficult sometimes but it is much easier when you are around happy people. She loved to talk too, and I loved listening to her.
"What was your human life like?" She asked me suddenly. The question made me uneasy but I couldn't stand the thought of disappointing her.
"It was nice I guess; I was in the war when I died. I had faked my age so I could apply, that was all a wanted was to be apart pf the war and fight for my people. My parents weren't happy to hear that. They wanted me home safe, they had a women lined up for me to marry, her name was Elena." I noticed Alice's beautiful lips turn down when I said Elena's name.
"Did you love her? Was she beautiful?" Alice asked. I thought back to Elena.
"She was pretty; she was a small person with blonde hair and crystal blue eyes. But I did not love her. She was very quiet and obedient; I wanted to be with someone that had a love for adventure, someone I could have fun with." Alice's face lit up again, I realized that my description of the perfect girl was exactly how she was, which shouldn't have surprised me at all.
"Anyways, I left they were all angry and when I was turned the other men had decided I was dead because I never returned to camp. When they told my parents my father was so angry and my mother… well she went into a sort of depression." Alice nodded, listening to every word I said.
"What about you?" I asked, wanting to get the conversation away from myself but also wanting to know more about her, "What was your human life like?" Alice turned away, looking sad again.
"I'm not sure," She said sadly, "When I was changed, I lost all of my human memories, I don't remember anything except being a vampire. It's the only life I know."
That explained why she was so full of life and so happy unlike other vampires.
She stopped suddenly, swaying on her feet, I reached out and grabbed her around the waist so she wouldn't fall, and my skin felt like it was on fire when I touched her. I started to panic, having no idea what was happening, then I remembered she had visions which was probably what was happening now.
Her eyes refocused a moment later, "Oh no," She said, "Jasper, stop breathing through your nose. Now listen don't panic, you won't hurt her." I gave her a confused look but did as she said and the I felt a slight tugging at my pant leg.
I looked down and saw a small girl, no older than seven, she had dark brown hair and big brown eyes, she was wearing a faded dress, and much worn shoes.
"Mister," She said in a small voice, "Can you help me? I can't find my mommy." She had look of terror in her eyes.
I couldn't figure out why she chose to come up to me and ask for help when there was so many humans all around us. I looked over to Alice and she nodded, telling me everything was going to be okay. But still I couldn't say anything.
"What's your name, dear?" Alice asked, bending down next to the girl, she seemed to have complete control.
"Mary." The little girl said.
"Well my name is Alice, this is Jasper. Where was the last place you saw your mommy?" she asked.
"Over there by the market." Mary answered; I sent a wave of calmness to her when I realized that she was shaking with fear. Alice shot me a grateful smile, of course she knew of my gift without me even having to tell her. She made a gesture with her eyes signaling for me to help her.
I took all my courage and knelt down, "What does your mother look like?" I asked quickly. Mary explained that her mother had dark hair like hers and was wearing a purple dress. "Come on," I said standing up, "We'll find her." Alice rose too, and Mary smiled.
To my surprise Mary took hold of one of mine and Alice's hands. I looked over at Alice who was in just as much shock as I was.
"You know, I bet your mommy is over there by the horses looking for you right now." Alice said, and I knew that was in fact where the girl's mother must be.
We walked over to the horses, I heard a woman yelling Mary's name frantically. "Mama!" Mary yelled and ran into her mother's arms. The mother squeezed her child tightly.
Mary ran back over to us and shockingly hugged us, I went stiff, unsure what to do or what would happen if I reacted. "Thank you!" Mary screeched happily. "How did you know that was where she was?" She asked Alice.
Alice was actually unsure to answer, "Because she is psychic." I said. Mary's eyes grew wide with excitement.
"Really?" She asked Alice who shrugged.
"Mary, come back here." The girl's mother yelled, eying us with weary eyes, the way most people do.
Mary ran back to her mother, "It's okay mama, they helped me find you. The girl is psychic! That was how she knew where you were."
"Uh huh." The mother said not really believing her child's words.
"Are you alright?" Alice asked. I nodded trying to ignore the painful burn in my throat.
"Let's go." I said, wanting to get as far away from humans as possible.

We walked for a while, I talked mostly; Jasper was a quiet person which balances me out because I'm the complete opposite. Jasper is an amazing listener though. Everything I said he listened to, and made comments about. I have never felt like someone was so interested in me until a met him.
The way he handled Mary was amazing too, I know it had to be hard for him, dealing with a human that close and stuff.
I stopped walking again, knowing another vision was coming.
Jasper and I running through trees, "That was amazing, what you just did." Jasper said, looking shocked.
"They were trying to hurt you." I said, "There was four of them and one of you, I wasn't just going to sit there and watch. I may be a girl here but I can take them all just as well as you can." I said laughing.
Jasper laughed but stopped and gave me a serious look. He slowly walked closer to me and took my head in his hands. "Alice?"
"Yes?" I whispered dazed me our proximity.
"May I kiss you?" He asked like the southern gentleman I knew he was. I nodded and Jasper pressed his lips firmly to mine. Giving me the greatest kiss I had ever experienced, and officially making this the best moment of my life so far.
"Alice," He said, pulling away slowly, "I believe I have fallen in love with you."
Slowly my mind cleared and I came back to reality, smiling. "Alice are you okay?" I heard Jasper asking.
"Yes I'm fine." I said bouncing up and down.
"What did you see?" He asked laughing slightly at my reaction.
"Oh that's a surprise; I don't want to ruin it for you!" I said and began skipping. Jasper ran to catch up with me.
"I believe that is called cheating." He said in mock disappointment.
"I'll just tell you this, in two days you are going to be having a very eventful day." I said laughing at the adorable confused look on his face.
Oh yeah I was falling hard for this man. Which I guess was good since I already knew he was the one.
So, okay? I'm trying to come up with some different things that could happen on there trip to meet the Cullens, any ideas? And please review they always make chapters come much quicker!!
