Here's chapter four. This one is ALOT more dramatic than the others, but I wanted to try this out :)
I promise, there will be some more lovey-dovey parts in future chapters!
But I needed to create a little trouble on the way, hahaa :)
please, read and review? Thanks for all the nice reviews so far!
-----------------------------------------------------------
In all his years, hunting, killing, fighting...Jasper had never been so scared.
A ferocious snarl ripped from his throat, and he didn't attempt to stop it.
"Alice!" he yelled, growling again. Where was she? Panic writhed through him, uncontrollably. If anything happens to her...I swear...
Frantically, Jasper glared around. The street was still empty, but the shadows seemed so...full. And the smell! It hung heavy in the air all around him, burning right through him. Before another snarl could escape those marble lips, a crash echoed out into the night.
"ALICE!"
He whirled around just in time to see her come hurtling out of the shadows. She smacked into the wall of the building with a deafening crack, letting out a menacing snarl. Jasper was at her side before she could get to her feet, pulling her into his arms.
"Alice, what just-"
"Shh."
She was breathing unevenly, even though breathing was completely unneccessary. Her eyes were wide, full of confusion and shock, fixed intently on the alleyway that she had just been thrown out of. Jasper placed himself slightly infront of her, following her gaze. If his heart had been beating, it would have been going 100 miles an hour.
"...Alice?" He murmured, breaking the apsolute silence. "...w-what happened?" His voice was low, only she could hear him. But she didn't answer. She just continued to stare. He could feel the fear, the shock and the confusion rolling off her. He opened his mouth again but she silenced him with a flick on her finger.
"Shh. Just...look."
His eyes followed hers yet again, to the dark space behind the building. The wind blew over them again, tainting the air with that horrific smell. But still, he could see nothing.
Suddenly, he froze.
Two specs of light emerged from the blackness. It took Jasper less than a second to realize that they were eyes. Two huge, unblinking yellow eyes. And they were focused on the two vampires, slowly moving forwards towards them. Jasper could faintly make out a vague outline of the creature...it was massive. Bigger than vampires, that's for sure. An agressive snarl built up in his throat, but he was not prepared for what he saw next.
As the creature revealed itself fully, Jasper fell silent.
Now, standing before them, was a wolf.
Obviously, it wasn't an ordinary wolf. No, it was massive. Unnaturally big. One paw alone was the size of Jaspers head. It's fur was jet black, long and tangled, and it's mouth was open slightly, showing row after row of razor sharp teeth that could clearly crush bone. It breathed heavily, scratching it's claws into the dirt as it shuffled forward, closing the gap between them.
"A werewolf..." Alice breathed beside him, bringing Jasper back to his senses. He locked his arm around her, pulling her back slowly as the creature advanced. Neither of them took their eyes off of each other. It was like a staring contest. They backed away until a wall stopped them going any futher. Jasper gulped. They were cornered.
He looked down at Alice as she tugged his sleeve. "Jasper," she muttered, slightly paniked, "I can't see anything! My visions...I can't see what's going to happen..." she was frowning in concentration, her eyes closed tightly. Jasper squeezed her hand.
"What do you think it wants?" he hissed, his voice rising slightly. If it had been just Jasper, alone, he wouldn't have minded as much. But he couldn't fight and protect Alice at the same time and he couldn't bear the thought of Alice fighting that...thing. He clenched his jaw.
"...I don't know," she admitted.
The wolf had stopped, several metres infront of them. It was still staring, still breathing unevenly. Jasper tried to place himself infront of Alice again, but she stepped to the side. He looked at her frantically as she took a timid step forward, clearing her throat.
"...Hello." She said clearly. Jasper bit down on his lip.
Alice, what are you doing?! He screamed inside his head, Come back! You're way too close to it, please just step back!
But obviously, she didn't hear him.
The wolf was staring blankly at her. And then, without warning, it spun around and vanished back into the shadows again. Jasper let out a steady breath. He instinctively pulled Alice backwards, not relaxing his aggressive position for a second. Surely...surely it can't be over already?
"Hello." The reply came from the alley. Jasper stiffened. The voice was cold, with a slight accent.
A man emerged now. He was tall, broad and musclar, with thick long black hair. His skin was dark, just like his eyes. He wasn't wearing much, just a ripped pair of jeans.
Jasper decided now was the time for some answers. "Who are you?"
The man paused before replying. "I am Dylan."
"You're a werewolf..." Alice exclaimed quietly. It wasn't a question. Her expression was a mixture of fasination and caution.
Dylan's expression grew hard. He glared at her. "And you are a Vampire."
"Yes." Jasper answered for both of them. He didn't see the point of denying it.
"And you hunt humans." This was definitely not a question.
Alice smirked indignantly. "Actually...we don't. Not anymore."
"Not anymore?" Dylan was confused.
"We hunt animals." Jasper explained, in an equally hard voice. It took Dylan a few moments to speak again.
"Why?" His voice was harsh. Jasper growled softly.
"Personal reasons." He didn't want to have to explain himself to some werewolf.
There was an awkward pause. Jasper locked his arm even tighter around Alice's waist. Dylan just stood, clenching his fists at his side and staring at them with an unreadable expression.
"I think that I should inform you that I'm not alone," he said suddenly, nodding backwards into the darkness. "Werewolves travel in packs."
"And why are you telling us this?" asked Jasper. His eyes were blazing, he could feel it.
"Well, I wouldn't want you to be trying to...escape."
Again, Jasper growled. Alice took over.
"What do you mean by escape? You don't own us. We're not your prisoners." She kept her voice as cold as his. Dylan smiled awkwardly.
"Are you not aware of the laws, blooksucker?" He didn't wait for a reply. "We are the sworn enemies of Vampires, we protect the humans here. You really think that we are just going to let you walk away from us now?"
"We haven't hurt a single human" Alice reminded him harshly.
"But how do we know that you won't?"
"Well...you're just going to have to trust us, aren't you?"
His laugh rang through the night.
"You want us to trust you?"
"Yes" Alice replied simply, "We've done nothing wrong."
But Dylan just shook his head. "I'm sorry...that doesn't change anything."
