So I am so excited that I have more subscribers! Love you guys.
I hope that you enjoy this chapter.
Oh and also, if you do read it please, please, please comment on it! Jasper will appear and propose to you if you do! Okay maybe not but you know… it is possible (maybe)! But you get the idea… please leave comments for each new chapter. I love to read them and they keep me motivated to write more chapters!
I promise I will introduce some new characters soon because a story with just two people quickly gets boring… I know.
My chosen song for this chapter is Your Guardian Angel by Red Jumpsuit Apparatus and I will explain where it particularly applies at the end of this chapter so I don't spoil it for you.

****************
Kissing her was amazing. We were chaste of course; we both knew we had all of eternity to move our relationship forward… gradually. I didn't want her to think that she was some small chase for me, though I was almost certain that she knew that wasn't even close to true. As our lips broke apart she smiled her electric smile again and I knew I must have looked like a love sick puppy looking at her but I didn't care. I was extraordinarily happy and I could tell so was she. As I gazed at her I felt the typical human urge to go further but I denied it. However there was one urge, not by any means human, that was getting harder to ignore… Thirst. Pushing it from my mind I decided nothing was going to ruin this moment.
"Jasper, I love you." Alice whispered softly as she laid her head against my chest.
"I love you too, more than anything in my entire existence." I replied.
Suddenly my angel went stiff against me.
"Alice, are you okay." I asked urgently as I pulled her away from my chest to see her eyes fixed ahead of her focused on nothing in particular. She was scaring me… What is going on!?!
"Vision... I'm having a vision Jasper. Wait.", she choked out.
Her words should have put me at ease, she had visions often apparently but considering the way she was stiff and motionless in my arms it did little to calm my panic. Then, as suddenly as it had begun she slumped weakly into my arms. I quickly sat her down on the ground confounded… vampires are never weak unless they are hurt. "Alice! Talk to me. Tell me what happened."
"Jasper I'm okay, it was just more intense than my visions usually are.", she answered me confusedly. "It doesn't make sense, they are never than intense."
"What did you see?" I asked curious yet still worried.
"The place where I woke up, the asylum, and there was a woman who was talking about me. I have never seen her that I can remember." Alice suddenly fell on to me and started sobbing uncontrollably without any tears falling. Desperate to comfort her, I pulled her into my lap and hugged her close until her despair subsided.
"Hey, Alice come on.
You're okay. Nothing is going to hurt you. I won't let it." I
crooned to her hoping it was helping. I could feel her sadness and
confusion as my own and knew she was in pain but I did not break my
vow to leave her emotions to her alone. Without looking up at me she
started speaking in a shaky and almost rambling voice.
"She said
she saw a man go into my cell and come out. Then she heard my
screams. She took care of me as best she could while I was changing
but she luckily wasn't around when I woke up and fled. She is
looking for me. She is worried about me even though its been years."
Composing herself further she lifted her head away from my chest to look at me and I knew what she was about to say before she said it.
"I need to go back Jasper."
…
Two days later we reached Mississippi after running continuously. We crossed the border in a thick forest that seemed to reach for miles but we did not get lost. One more hour of running we would be in Biloxi. I had been putting off mentioning to Alice the fact that we needed to hunt for fear of upsetting her and reminding her of the weakness that would be our undoing if we were just to barge into a city. I knew I had to remind her but it didn't make the task any easier.
"Alice!" I called to her as we were running. Knowing she had heard me I stopped running as did she.
"Jasper what are you doing. We need to get to Biloxi. Who knows if the woman will still be at the asylum when we get there." She spoke in the same desperate tone she had when she first had the vision. The urge to lessen her stress was more irresistible than ever yet resist it I did. I instead walked up to her and gripped her shoulders in a way I hope she saw as reassuring.
"Alice, think. If we go there, especially now, it will be chaos. We are both thirsty. We need to hunt to avoid a massacre in the street." I spoke to her frankly knowing she wouldn't appreciate me being delicate in her current state. I felt her shoulders slump beneath my hand. She knew I was right.
"Okay, but… Jasper there is something I need to tell you." She confessed to her feet. What was making her even more uncomfortable?
"I was afraid to tell you earlier thinking you wouldn't come with me if you knew the life you were committing yourself too. I couldn't bear if you hadn't of come with me."
"Alice what are you talking about?" I asked her thoroughly confused.
"Jasper look at my eyes. What do you notice?" she asked the blatantly obvious question as if I hadn't already notices their mesmerizing shade.
"They are gold, well they were. Now they are closer to black. What of it?" I replied.
"The are gold for a reason Jasper. It was part of the visions I have had of Carlisle and is family. They all have gold eyes because they don't drink human blood."
None of this made sense! How could they remain sane, how could they survive if they didn't drink blood?
"It's not possible Alice. We need blood to survive." I told her feeling stupid. She was a vampire, surely she knew this.
"We need blood, yes. But not human blood." She explained, "My eyes are gold because I've only been drinking animal blood since I knew it was possible."
Animal blood! But they smelled repulsive and I could only imagine they tasted worse. I glared at her with a look that accused her of lying. I was ashamed of my reaction but surely she had to be lying.
"I'm telling the truth Jasper I swear. Why would I lie to you? Will you let me prove it to you?" she asked.
"Please do." I replied doubtfully but placing my faith in Alice nonetheless.

Okay so, another chapter and I guess you can figure out what is coming… Jasper's first vegetarian hunt!
Like I said, some new characters are alluded to in this chapter and I will follow through within the next two chapters.
Obviously I imagined Your Guardian Angel as Jasper was holding Alice when she broke down. It was really hard to find a song for this chapter but I persevered for you. : P
I hope you liked it!
Remember, please write a review even if you have written one for the other chapters! I LOVE TO HEAR WHAT YOU THINK!
Ooooh I also would love to hear what you think of the songs that accompany each chapter – do they represent the chapter for you? Suggestions would also be awesome. I'm always trying to expand my library.
