Chapter 4: Blood
Jasper's POV
Alice and I walked on for weeks more, and she didn't have any more visions about these vampires we had to go to, she just knew we had to get there soon. I knew to trust Alice now, I could feel in her emotions she wouldn't lie to me, she never would. I felt safe around Alice, comfortable, and I wasn't watching out for her every move like I was forced to watch the newborns before. Alice was fun to travel with; she was optimistic, bright, and sometimes just a little annoying. But, I liked everything about her.
Right now we were currently residing in an excluded forest in northern Canada. The place was good for all hunting purposes, and there were no humans where we were. I was still getting used to the weird animal blood diet and I didn't want to be killing any humans. Alice was helping me a lot though, and I was thankful.
"We need to find a town," Alice broke into my stream of thoughts suddenly. Why would we need to go to a town?
My question was answered as if Alice had somehow broken into my private thoughts, "We need some new clothes," she stated, as if the fact was obvious. We hadn't changed in awhile, we just didn't have much time, and I couldn't go into town without killing someone.
"Why?" I questioned her statement.
She rolled her eyes and shouted, "Because we haven't changed clothes or showered in weeks!"
I was taken aback by her stubbornness; I didn't know Alice was so much a girly girl as this. "Fine, but I won't go."
"You have to; you need to try the clothes on!"
"No, it's too dangerous for the humans, I'll stay here."
"Nope, you're not going to hurt anyone, I've seen it," she said, pointing to her head.
"Fine," I muttered. I was annoyed with Alice, but not for long, I just couldn't stay mad at that little pixie.
We walked into the town at around noon; Alice said it would be rainy and dark today, so there was no chance we'd have to be in the sunlight. We didn't know what town it was, and it really didn't matter. We just needed to get some clothes and get out quickly.
I immediately sniffed and the scent of human blood filled me, I turned to look at the man walking by me. The steady beating of his heart and blood pounding through his veins made my mouth fill with venom. I could sense my eyes turn black and I glared at the man, he was testing my willpower. I stalked towards him, ready to pounce and suck every breath of life from him.
He stared at me, gaping. I could see the fear clear in his eyes, and I felt his emotions. He was running on scared and confused. His heart started pounding rapidly from the fear, making my mouth fill with more venom. He was paralyzed from the fear, and I knew he was going to be dead in a few short seconds.
Suddenly, I felt a slight tug on me arm. Growling, I turned to see who made me stop my approaches, they took my meal from me. In the time it took me to turn, the man was unparalyzed, and walked away swiftly away.
Alice was the one that stopped me, and when I saw her face, all thoughts about the man were gone. She looked worried, and I wondered why. I hoped she was okay.
"Alice, what's wrong?"
"Nothing, I was just scared you'd attack that man. Come on, you go back to the woods and go hunting. I'll get some clothes for both of us," she said, her tone quick and hurried.
I nodded and ran to the woods, glad I didn't have to go shopping. Just as I had run about 3 miles away from the town, I smelled human. This blood smelt even better than the man's blood.
I couldn't control my inner monster as I ran to the human. It was a man and a woman. They were journaling sketches and plant descriptions. I ran to the man first, and snapped his neck. I felt the woman's emotions as I snapped her neck, fear, pain, and then nothing.
I lapped at their warm blood. It filled me with warmth, and I was a monster again. I just killed two innocent defenseless humans. I felt very guilty, and I was ashamed. What will Alice say?
Oh no, Alice will be disappointed. Just as that thought left my head, I heard a twig snap and Alice pushed through the underbrush of the woods. She had a look of horror in her eyes as the swept over the scene. They finally landed on mine; her eyes reflected my ruby red irises.
"Jasper, what did you do?"
A/N-Sorry for the cliffhanger, and sorry for not updating. I'm pretty busy, but I'll update about once a week, every Tuesday and maybe Saturdays.
Hope you liked this chapter, please review!
