Chapter 4: Jasper

He's Here! He's Finally here!! He's so Handsome. His hair is a beautiful shade of honey blonde and his eyes are a lovely shade of red. Does he have funny marks all over his face? It looks like he's been bitten repeatedly. I feel like jumping up and down on my stool. I don't have to wait any longer, we can go and find the Cullens.
He hasn't seen me yet. I think I should go and introduce myself. He needs to know that I've been waiting a long time, and he needs to know how much he means to me.

I hopped down from my stool and walked over to him. The look on his face was odd, like I was about to attack him. He couldn't be more wrong.
I smiled to try and make him feel better. It seemed to work, his face now looked like he was looking at some kind of angel.

"You've kept me waiting a long time", I said to him. He ducked his head.

"I'm sorry ma'am", he apologised. What a good southern gentleman. I held out my hand. He took it almost immediately. I felt like my whole body was filled with hope, relief and happiness. I also felt some emotions that were new to me.

His face was blank before, but now he had the biggest smile spreading across his face and his eyes were sparkling with excitement.

"Why don't we go for a walk? We need to get to know each other", I suggested. He nodded. He looked to happy to speak.

We walked out of the diner hand in hand. We were so different in height that it was almost we were in the trees, We sat down on the grass and started talking.

"My name is Jasper", Jasper began, but I held my free hand up to silence him.
"I already know your name". He looked at me with a confused expression. "My name is Alice, I have premonitions, visions of the future. All I know about myself is my name and the fact that I'm a vampire. I also remember a burning, then I woke up alone and had a vision of you and some other vampires. I've been waiting for you in that diner for about 3 months."

I was worried that maybe Jasper thought I was crazy. He's looking at me as if I had just said that I was a dog and my name was Rover.

"You don't remember anything about your human life?", he asked me.
"No, nothing except my name." We gazed into each others eyes for a few moments.

"You had no idea where to go and you decided to come and look for me after seeing one vision of me?", I nodded. Again he was looking at me like I was crazy.
"There are hundreds of vampires out there, why choose me?"The answer to this was easy.

"I chose you because you were the first thing I saw when I woke up as a vampire. I've been looking into your future for the past 3 months and I think that you're special."

Jasper looked away as if I had said something depressing.
"I'm not special. I'm a monster. I've killed lots of other vampires.....", Jasper told me his story about A vampire named Maria and how he became involved in vampire battles. Well that explains the marks on his face. They're battle scars.

"So you've never really had a home?", I asked him.
"No, not since I was human. I'm a killer", He looked away again. I used my free hand to turn his head to face me.
"You're not a killer. You're special. You were forced into all those fights, it wasn't your fault."
"But I'm a bad person", No he's not!
"No you're not. You're a good person who bad things have happened to", There was nothing but truth in my words.

Jasper finally seemed to realise that too because in the next second he had his arms around me.
"No one's ever said something like that to me", He whispered into my ear. I returned the hug but I was hesitant, I don't think it means the same thing to him as it does to me. I want to stay here forever. I want to be with Jasper forever. But he will probably get bored of me in a few years.

After a few long moments Jasper released me, but not wanting any space between us he held my hand. He gazed into my eyes again, smiling.
"Alice, what would you say to a hunt?", he asked me. I haven't hunted for about two weeks and I'm quite thirsty.
"I'm up for that. But I don't drink human blood", This baffled him.
"What do you mean?"

I explained to him about the Cullens and how they only drank the blood of animals.
"I don't want to kill humans.", I told him. " Will you hunt animals with me?"
"I'll try. I don't like killing humans either. You know how you can see the future?"
"Yeah, can all vampires do that?", I'd wanted to ask someone that for weeks. It felt good to finally say it.
"No, some vampires get 'gifts', abilities that not everyone else can do. For instance, I can feel and control other people's emotions."
"Wow, I bet that comes in handy",
"It certainly does, why don't we go and hunt? We can decide what we are going to do afterwards", As he spoke he stood up and offered me his hand. This did sound like a good plan. We could figure out what we are going to do after we've hunted.

I took his hand and he pulled me up off the ground and wrapped his arms around me while resting his chin on my head.
"I think you're the special one, not me", he said. I smiled. In that brief second I looked into our future and was very happy with what I saw.

*Me and Jasper holding hands, me in a white dress while he was in a suit. The rest of the Cullens were there as well. I assumed that this was our wedding*

I laughed, how could I have thought that he wouldn't want me? The vision explained a lot.
"what's so funny?, Jasper asked.
"Well, lets just say that we'll be happy.", I looked up at him to see him looking down at me. When our eyes met I could see that his were full of questions.
"You'll soon find out", I told him. He just shook his head.

"If you say so, Let's go hunt!" I could already smell some nearby animals.......
