A/N: Thanks for all the reviews, story alerts, and favourites. I really appreciate it and I'm surprised I got so many. At one point I was going to be mean and have the weddings etc. But this is a Jasper Bella story so we need to get to them. Takes place in 1987

Chapter 2 – A surprise Attack

APOV

I was currently sitting with Rosalie. We'd never quite managed to form the relationship I wanted with my sister. Although we'd become a lot closer since she met and married Emmett more than 50 years ago. Now she was busy planning her fifth wedding to him. It was strange although I loved Edward with all my heart, and I loved parties, I never felt the need to remarry him. Then again another wedding wasn't something that Carlisle and Esme were bothered about either. I suppose it was just that no one but Rose truly loved to be the centre of attention.

Suddenly the bridal magazine I was holding fell to the floor as I was sucked into another vision.

A young man with curly dark brown hair and brown eyes, dressed in a police uniform, was standing at a large glass window. On the other side of the window were a number of cots. A friendly looking woman on the other side of the glass smiled at him before lifting a small pink clad baby out of one of the cots, and holding her for him to look at. The little girl was lying sleeping soundly, but I could make out a thick mop of dark curly hair was already present on her head.

Then the vision was over.

"What is it, what did you see Alice" Rose asked curiosity etching her features.

"It was strange. I saw a man in a police uniform at a hospital nursery window, and a beautiful tiny baby girl. Nothing to show where it was, or why it was important enough for me to see."

"So it was like your mystery blonde man then. Maybe it's something to do with him." She replied teasingly.

Ever since our family had been completed by Emmett I started to receive premonitions at the strangest of times they were extremely fuzzy and made no sense. The only thing I could ever make out from them was a blonde vampire. He was tall and I would say he was second only in looks to my Edward, although the crescent moon scars he was covered in seemed to make him appear completely frightening, especially when they were teamed with his scarlet eyes. It had been a few months since I'd last seen a vision of him. I just wish I knew what these visions meant.

"Maybe you right Rose." I said as I bent down to retrieve the bridal magazine from the floor. "So which dress is it you're looking at again?" I said to her as I started flicking through the magazine again.

I watched the man carefully as he followed a pretty blonde woman along the road. I could almost taste his blood already. The warm thick liquid that would soon poor down my throat easing the burning fire that had taken up residence within me. The woman turned down an alleyway, obviously using it as a short cut. Silly girl. That was what this fiend was waiting for. I could feel his hate and lust for the woman rush through me and I translated it into my own hatred and blood lust for this man. As he ducked into the alley his pace picked up. Just before he grabbed the woman I dropped from the roof of the building and my own arm grabbed him tightly pulling him into me and into the darkness of the alley way.

The woman rushed on completely oblivious of the fate I had spared her from. My hand locked in place over his mouth preventing him from uttering a sound as I sank my teeth into his jugular. I could feel his fear flowing into me as rapidly as his blood flowed into my mouth. I drank it down savouring the liquid. I had been starving myself for weeks trying to find the perfect victim who was almost as much a predator as myself.

As I finished draining him I pulled out the knife that I kept in the pocket of my jeans, and flicked it open. Quickly I slashed it across the man's throat making it appear as though he had been killed by another human. I then dropped his corpse behind the dumpster.

The ever present guilt when I killed went through me. Knowing that he was as much a fiend as I was helped to ease that pain somewhat. Although it was always there nagging at me. After I finished disposing of him my senses suddenly went into overdrive. My body instantly crouched as I took in the scents of three vampires'. I could tell they were on the outskirts of town. The question is, are they friend or foe.

Since I left Maria with Peter and Charlotte she frequently sent vampire's who were coming to the end of their usefulness for her out to retrieve me. Most of them I have had to kill over the years as she had them convinced that whoever brought me back to her would be handsomely rewarded. I couldn't let those live after they had found me. There were a few who I had been able to convince to leave her. Although even I had to admit that most of them had been female.

Some had even stayed with me for a short time, though none could stand my moods and temper for too long. I made my way slowly towards the scents. I stayed strategically downwind of the vampire's as I silently crept towards them. I could make out two men. From the look of them, and the lack of scars on their bodies these men had just came upon me by pure chance. Suddenly I heard something behind me. Spinning I saw a female vampire. She smiled at my surprise. I couldn't believe I had left myself vulnerable like that. Suddenly I felt a shot of pain go through me, and I knew I was in for a fight.
