The blonde man slowly started advancing towards the small girl, his bright red eyes gleaming in the green light that filtered through the trees. She whimpered lightly, backing away from the man. He chuckled darkly and the small girl realized she had backed herself into a tree. He was too quick to run away from, too strong to fight, and no one was here to safe her. She was dead, like her mother and father.
Another whimper escaped her lips and she felt warm tears brim over and run down her cheeks. She was going to die in pain, she wasn't going to keep her promise to her mother, the promise to stay alive was going to be broken. Her parents died for nothing, no one was going to be able to safe the small girl, no one was going to come, no one even cared for her except her parents, and they were gone, never coming back.
The man smiled pleasantly at her as he walked over, ready to kill her.
Ginny sat up quickly, a small whimper escaping her lips and tears flowing down her eyes. Her small heart was pounding in her chest frantically and her breathing was shallow. She heard loud, hurried steps up the stairs and into her room. The door was pushed open and warm light flowed welcomingly into the room. In the doorway stood Carlisle and Esme, identical worried expressions dominating their faces.
They both took in her tear stained cheeks, frantic heartbeat, shallow breathing, and most important, the distinct smell fear overtaking her normally floral smell. Within moments they were by the young girl's side, lightly brushing the tears away.
"You're okay now, no one's going to hurt you ever again," Carlisle's voice softly counseled her as Esme gently stroked her face. She let out another whimper and her tiny shoulders heaved as another sob racked through her body. Esme softly embraced the small girl in her cool but welcoming brace. Ginny's body was burning hot, much like on that day.
"You're safe here, with us, you always have us, forever and ever," Esme's voice was gentle, filled with motherly concern.
A small smile graced her lips as she slowly fell asleep in Esme's cool arms, Carlisle on her other side, just a touch away. You'll always have us registered in her subconscious.
Jasper looked down at the beautiful little girl and let grief take him. He thought it would be safe for him and the others to go hunting at night, after all she hadn't had those dreams in months. But she had, and according to Carlisle and Esme, it had been worse then usual. He sensed more then saw Alice filter softly into the room.
"She's alright you know," her whimsical voice fluttered down quietly and Jasper looked away from the tiny girl to look at her. Alice stood no taller then 4'9, but she could be fierce when she wanted and definitely knew how to fight. But Alice was also gentle and loving and cared for Ginny almost as much as Jasper did.
"I know," he looked down, refusing to meet Alice's eyes. Alice sighed and gently sat herself on his lap, obscuring Ginny from his view ever so slightly. He looked down at her softly and Alice saw the grief and pain tormenting him through his butterscotch colored eyes. She wrapped her arms around his neck and brought him closer to her. He wrapped his arms around her waist and closed his eyes tightly, allowing Alice's scent to overwhelm his mind.
Although they didn't show their love like Rosalie and Emmet, nor did their love shine brightly that made everyone know they were together like Edward and Bella, they loved each other just as much and could always tell what the other one was feeling, and right now Alice could tell how much pain Jasper was in.
Ginny had trusted him to always be there, never questioned whether or not he would be there when she woke up, never thought he would ever hurt or leave her alone, but it one night he had destroyed her trust.
"She is going to forgive you, you know," Alice said softly, her hand reaching up and lightly stroking her face. He lifted his head and she caught his gaze. It surprised him, after the decades that they had been together, that her beauty still managed to astound him. He and she kept these moments to themselves for the sole reason that they were still learning about each other themselves.
"I know, but a part of me doesn't want her too," Jasper admitted softly. Alice stared up at him with her soft, butterscotch eyes with a slightly confused look. Jasper sighed before continuing.
"She's so trusting, I'm so afraid that I am going to hurt her," Jasper continued in a slightly frustrated voice. "Sometimes I just want her to le-" Alice softly silenced him by placing her lips onto his. Jasper gently returned her kiss, wrapping his arms more tightly around the tiny girl. Alice gently broke apart the kiss and laid her forehead against his.
"But you don't want her to leave do you? You want her to stay here forever with us, exactly the same as she is, don't you?" Alice surprised Jasper sometimes, the way she knew him more then he did himself.
"I had a vision today," Alice said in a low voice. This caught Jasper's full attention. Alice smiled softly before leaning in closer to Jasper and speaking so quietly that there was no way Ginny could hear them.
"I saw her as one of us," she continued, her soft breath tickling his ear. He looked at her, surprised. "I'm not for sure yet, but it sure seemed that way," Alice softly stared at him before gently getting off of him.
"Don't worry too much about her Jasper, that little girl can take care of herself and she definitely is not the type of person to hate you because you weren't here when she had a nightmare. She will still love you when she wakes up in the morning." Alice said cheerfully. Jasper couldn't help but smile slightly as Alice left the room. It was impossible to be around Alice and not catch her cheerfulness.
He looked back down at Ginny's sleeping figure, taking in her small body and delicate face, to her bubbly personality, and even on occasions, her fierce temper. She and Alice were much alike. He got up to leave, about to close the door when a thought crossed his mind.
He looked back at the small girl, a strange softness in his eyes. He quickly crossed the room and sat back down. His other family would understand if he missed the night's festivities. After all, he had to watch out for their little angel.
This chapter was a little less fluffy then the others but I thought it kinda grasped Alice and Jasper's connection towards each other. That and the fact it seemed like Jasper would be the type of father that would always be upset if he missed anything in his life, and Ginny is like the Cullen's youngest daughter so he would feel very protective over her. This is placed when Ginny is still seven, so about maybe six or seven more chapters like this and then they really get into the plot of the story. I'll try and hurry with the next chapters but school is starting up again and a have a huge test on Wednesday! That and I am getting paid by three different people to do their notes for the test. Have to fit eight pages of notes onto 3 by 5's three more times. Oh joy! On a lighter note, this chapter is officially my second longest! Yay me! lol. Not to mention this is my longest A/N ever too! Well since it's 11:15 and I have other stuff to do on the computer like maybe type up another chapter or read the stories on here, I am saying good bye.
Until next time,
BlueDoggie
