Chapter 3- Misery Business

Jenicca walked up to Jasper, calm and catlike.

"So I hear you can read emotions." she said, looking him over before smiling.

"Yes. I can. Look, about the other day-"

She smiled, and Jasper 's face flushed, something he normally didn't do.

"Look, Jazz- Oh, sorry- Jasper."

Jasper recoiled at the sudden mention of Alice's nickname for him. But he liked it when Jenicca said it. It sounded different, better. Her hand touched his, and Jasper swallowed as he thought of how this was going to end.

Without thinking, he put a hand on her hip.

She took another step closer and whispered in his ear.

"Oh, Jazzy." she purred.

Her lips brushed against his ear, and in a second she had him pinned on his bed.

"Jenicca" he tried to say, "I don't think we should-"

"Yes you do… And you don't want her, that Alice girl, do you? You love me now, don't you, Jasper?"

He hesitated, but that was before she kissed him and bit the side of his lip, her sweet vampire venom dripping into his mouth.

"…Yes.." he moaned.

"That's what I wanted to hear." she whispered in his ear, her voice sweet as honey.

Jenicca loved this, she loved his energy. Jasper smiled at her, and she smiled back.

"You like me, don't you Jazzy?" she laughed.

Downstairs, Alice had a vision. She wasn't quite sure what it was at first, but then she could see it was Jasper and Jenicca. But it was very unspecific. Worried, she went upstairs to see them.

Alice looked through the crack of the door, and saw the two of them sitting on the edge of Jasper's bed, talking.

"You are so lucky to have Alice. She's a really great person." She heard Jenicca said.

"Yeah. She is."

Alice smiled, knowing that Jasper had a friend he could talk to. She skipped downstairs to play twister with Melrose, thinking only happy thoughts and humming to herself.

"That was close. You'd better be happy I thought of that so fast." Jenicca laughed, kissing his cheek.

"Yeah." Jasper mumbled, thinking of Alice.

Jasper loved Alice, and he wondered how this happened so fast. But he looked at Jenicca- she was beautiful, yes. More than Alice.

"I'm gonna go hunt now. Goodnight, Jazzy." she said quietly.

Jenicca waved, leaving the room, her long red-purple hair dancing behind her.
