Returning

"Guys, guys, guys!" I yelled, holding onto a chair for support as I plunged into a sudden vision.

Jasper was the first to answer my call, "Alice? What is it?"

I could tell the rest of my family was standing around me now too, but I couldn't hear them. I was completely submerged in my vision.

"We//," Tanya spoke, "If you leave before I see you again…goodbye, Edward."

"Goodbye, Tanya." Edward replied.

I saw Edward running through the snow, on his way back to Forks. Back to us.

My eyes flew open, a smile spreading across my face. I couldn't hide it. I was so happy!!! "Edward, he's coming back!" I screamed, much to the surprise, and relief, of everyone around me.

"Are you sure Alice?" Carlisle asked in speculation.

"I am completely positive in fact." I stated confidently, "He'll be here in an hour or so. He made the decision and acted upon it quickly." I bounced up and down like a child that just snuck a sip of their mother's iced latte.

"I'm glad then." Carlisle said, now smiling too.

Rosalie leaned against the wall, acting like she could care less. Emmett high-fived Jasper, both grinning for different reasons.

"Rematch," Emmett said, "I'm gonna beat him even if he can read my mind!"

"Yes, just like you'll beat Alice even though she can see the future." Jasper looked over at me and mouthed like I did.

I shook my head furiously, I let you, I mouthed back.

Whatever he smirked and followed Emmett upstairs to finish their homework.

"He's coming back, he's coming back, he's coming back!" I spoke, mostly to myself.

"I've missed him too." Esme said, looking over at the piano, suspended few inches up, that only Edward could play.

"Oh crapple!" I hit my forehead with my hand, "I really wanted to go hunting with Jasper today, but I really want to be here when Edward comes!"

"You could probably hunt for half an hour or so, then be here to welcome Edward back." Carlisle suggested.

"Alright, I'll go get Jasper."

"I ran up the stairs, "Jasper!" I yelled, throwing the bedroom door open, "Let's go hunting!"

"Well, I'm almost done with my home…" he started.

"Now, please!" I interrupted.

He sighed and rose from the couch in Emmett's room. As we walked out, Emmett made whipping noises.

"Am not." Jasper replied quietly.

When we were safely down the stairs and out of ear shot, I whispered, "Yes you are."

"I know." He whispered back, smiling before he leaned down to kiss me on the head.

As we descended down the stairs, I called out, "We're going hunting, be back in half an hour!"

"Goodbye Alice, Jasper." Esme waved as we exited the house.

"Excuse me, I'm not sure I heard you correctly," Jasper said once we were outside, "half an hour?"

"Yes, yes," I pulled him towards the river, "I want to be here when Edward comes home. We'll just hunt here, okay?"

Before he could possibly disagree, I jumped the river in one bound and waited for him on the other side.

He sighed, but leapt across the river to meet me.

"Okay, let's go." Jasper stood beside me.

Simultaneously, we started running, him following my lead. I stopped at a small tree about a mile away, "There are some deer if we continue the way..."

I heard Jasper groan.

"But," I continued, "A few mountain lions will be there hunting them, so I think we can continue on our current path."

"Alright." Jasper wasn't much happier. Although mountain lion was the better of the two offers before us, neither were even close to the taste of human blood. Well, not that I would know or anything. It's an instinct you get when you become a vampire. Humans are food. Humans are food. They'll quench your thirst. The little voice that yells that gets softer as time goes on. I've learned to keep it under control. Jasper is still learning.

I took off again, Jasper trailing after me. When we were 10 feet away from the pack of deer, I stopped, Jasper halting besides me.

"You ready?" I whispered, not wanting to scare away the deer.

"Yes, but where are the mountain lions?"

"Be patient," I quietly instructed, 'They aren't as fast as us. Two more minutes."

"Two minutes?" He said, almost in pain.

"Yes, two whole minutes!" I smiled at him, "Now only one."

"Alright, alright, I'll wait." He leaned against a tree.

"You kind of have to." I pointed out.

We waited quietly, crouching into hunting position.

A deer started running, alerting the others of the 3 mountain lions descending upon them. The mountain lions chased the deer, feeling like nothing could hurt them. I knew that feeling. I lived that feeling. For me, however, it was true.

One of the mountain lions stalked past us. Jasper, not able to control his thirst anymore, leapt out of our little hiding place.

The lion turned around and growled at him. Jasper growled back, moving in for the kill. The mountain lion seemed to smile as he approached Jasper, Before the animal could blink an eye, Jasper had his teeth sunk deep into the jugular. The lion snarled and tried to escape, but as Jasper sucked out more and more blood, he stopped moving all together. As the lion sunk to the ground, the two others of it's group charged at Jasper.

I jumped up from behind the bushes, smiling at the two massive creatures, neither on nearly as strong as me. They stopped momentarily, then a growl ripped out of the bigger one. The other joined in, then they both swat at me with their sharp claws. I grabbed the claw of the first one and threw it behind my back. It cried out in pain as I turned and sauntered forward, ready to finish him off.

I grabbed onto his huge neck with my razor sharp teeth and started to drink. The warm liquid made it's way down my throat, dulling the burning but not removing it. I emptied the whole lion in seconds, still thirsty.

Instinct taking over, I turned to the last one. I bared my teeth, the mountain lion finally understanding that I was a threat. Jasper leapt over my head.

"Mind if we share?" He asked, already approaching the creature.

"Not at all." Together, we prowled towards the lion. He shrieked and backed away. Side by side, we jumped on the animal's back and grabbed a hold of him with our teeth.

The animal dropped to the ground; Jasper and I climbed off.

"Why don't we just hunt some deer now?" I suggested, "We don't have that much time left."

"If that's what you'd prefer." He was slightly less upset about hunting deer since he wasn't starving anymore.

I sped off after the pack of deer that had fled the mountain lion attack. I stopped, peering around a tree, at the 10 unsuspecting deer standing on a patch of grass. Jasper grabbed onto my shoulders, leaning down to whisper in my ear.

"Now?" He asked eagerly.

"Now."

We charged the deer, too fast for them to escape, and bit down on the nearest ones we could catch. Eight deer later, we decided we were satiated. No need to be greedy. Although it's better to be safe then sorry. I knew Jasper was strong enough to handle himself at school.

"Five minutes Jasper!" I said excitedly.

"Let's go. I'm good." He dropped the lifeless carcass he has just finished off and we rushed back to the house.

We jumped the river in synch. Motionlessly, I stood by the edge of the gentle water. Edward was staring back at me, a crooked smile crossing his face.
