Heyy everyone! Time to clear up some questions.
1. I didn't put more of jasper's powers in there because i wanted the story to be more focused on jasper himself and his love for alice, not everyone's love for alice. thats why i casually avoided the topic in edward's POV.
2. By 'in between human, vampire, and dead', I mean that the venom tried to kill her but in order for it to do that it first had to make her more human (hence the tears) and the the vampirism and death could fight it out.
3. Any random '3's in my author notes were meant to be hearts but i missed the .
4. Very special thanks to NaleyIsLove and charmed1s for reviewing all my chapters and saying such nice things... 3 3 3
5. I am updating so quickly because i want to show it to my friend soon but i need you guys to tell me if i should.
6. In case anyone's wondering about another story after this one, i am thinking about doing one with a werewolf who was abandoned at birth, adopted by someone random, and then discovered he was a werewolf when he was 16 or so. i happen to love werewolves. but, its not gonna be immediate or anything... i hav to get all my idas for where the story is going first.
7. This is my last chapter and i had so much fun writing and reading your reviews!!!!!!!!!!!
So without further ado (like that would even be possible lol) here it is! dun du du dunnnn dudu du du du duun duuuuun DUUUN!! (that was the 20th century fox movie jingle btw)
JASPER POV
That was when her chest suddenly sat still.
"A-Alice?" I asked, struck still with fear.
Carlisle was looking officially at his watch. Moments passed, but they felt like hours.
"Eleven fifty-four. I'm calling it." He pulled the time-adjust button out on his watch, putting the ticking to a halt. "Jasper… I'm so sorry," Carlisle said, his voice thick with grief.
I looked down at my angel, unmoving and beautiful. She was so perfect, the last person who deserved to die. I silently willed her eyes to open and her body to move, but nothing happened. She lay there, still, quiet. I was vaguely aware of Carlisle leaving the room as I fell to my knees and sobbed for her, my Alice.
My mind began to race. All the time I had spent with her, from when we met in the cafe, to the fight with the newborns, to... everything. All my best memories were with her. And now it was all gone. I would never see her again. It almost didn't register in my mind. I felt numb, like I was falling, but didn't really know it yet. The words tried to piece themselves together in my brain. Alice was gone. Alice was gone. Alice was... gone.
Emptiness engulfed me. What use was my existence now? What would I be? She defined me. She was my little beacon of light in a world of swirling black clouds. The only thing I had left to do was to rid the world of Iuguolo. Thought of his name sent fire through my veins. I hoped he burned in Hell.
"I HOPE HE BURNS IN HELL!" I screamed in rage as I spun around violently and grabbed the antique desk behind me. I picked it up and, with every ounce of srength I had in my body, hurled it against the wall. Hearing the crash, Emmet and Edward ran in and grabbed my arms. I pulled and thrashed wildly, trying to break free of their grip. The fire in my veins wouldn't calm. Eventually I gave up and sank to the floor again.
My breath came in gasps and my whole body shook from the sobbing. I looked up at her and longed to see her alive again. Anything, I thought. I would give anything just to hold her in my arms for one more minute. One more second. Just long enough to tell her I love her. But I had no options available to me. The sobbing continued.
I was in such a state that when I heard the sharp intake of breath behind me, I thought I was imagining it. But I heard it again, and then once more. She's dead. She's gone. You're hallucinating. I turned to chase away the fantasy I was hearing, but what I saw was the last thing I expected.
Emmet and Edward were standing on one side of her bed, looking down. The anticipation I felt from them got me to my feet, and I went to the other side. Stirring on the bed was my angel, back from Heaven to save me again. Elation shot into my heart as she began to open her perfect eyes.
"Sorry, did I just die in the middle of our conversation?"
It was the voice I never thought I would hear again. So perfect, so beautiful. But hearing her wasn't enough. Before I could think, I was kissing her with my hands tightly intertwined through her soft hair. I ran my hands down her arms, needing more. Pleasure engulfed me, and I swear, if my heart could beat, I would have heard it skip a few times.
"How rude of me…" she managed to say.
The family came in, and I suddenly realized that I could be hurting her. But when I sat up, her face was clear of all pain and her eyes free of tears.
"How-?" I stuttered.
"Well, technically, vampires don't have to breathe," Carlisle pointed out.
"It's not burning any more, Jazz," Alice told me.
I kissed her again.
"We won! Alice, we won! I don't have to live without you!" I exclaimed.
At that moment, I had no idea what was going on around me. My family could have been in poodle skirts for all I knew. There was only Alice and I, she was the only thing I could see. And we could stay that way forever. Truly, truly forever.
"Wait, I have a question." She looked down. "Have I really been wearing these same clothes for over a week?"
Typical Alice.
EPILOGUE
JASPER POV
As I laid awake with my arms around my sleeping Alice, I thought about how everything was finally perfect again. We, except for Alice and Renesmee, hunted down Iuguolo and put an end to his existence once and for all, keeping well away from his mouth. It was an interesting battle, but an easy one. He was with Decessus and Caedo, but we took them down easily, thanks to the element of surprise.
We could've killed Nex, who was close by, but she begged for our forgiveness. She hadn't wanted to join Iuguolo, but he threatened to kill their parents. Apparently, Nex's real name was Cara, and Letum was originally Gregory. They had been transformed only a year prior. We turned her over to the Volturi, where her gift would become useful alongside Jane's.
Alice was still sleeping often, usually two or three nights a week for a couple of hours. But even just from those moments watching her dream, I understood what had captivated Edward to spend so long in Bella's room at night.
The first time she slept, the night after her recovery, she shot up in bed after a simple dream. She screamed my name as she shook a nightmare from her mind. Panic in the strongest sense of the word shot out from her mind in bolts. I sat up behind her, pulled her into my arms, and she fell asleep again. That's how she has slept since then. I don't mind.
Since she had no recollection of dreaming as a human, her mind assumed what she saw was real. Alice still doesn't like to sleep, and refuses to do so unless she is really, really tired and I talk her into it. She made me promise never to leave her and go anywhere while she is sleeping. But what could be so important that could keep me away?
Now, she was waking up, confused as usual.
"Good morning, Alice," I greeted her, as I calmed her with a wave of peacefulness and a few kisses.
"Damned sleeping. How can humans survive it every night, especially since they don't generally wake up in the arms of the love of their life psychically calming them down?" she asked.
"What I want to know is how male humans can get to sleep if their wives are sleeping next to them. I can't think of anything I would rather do than watch you when you sleep- and know for sure that you're going to wake up again," I said.
My Alice smiled.
There you go.... I fought with the very last line for quite awhile. But here it is, my final copy. So what do you think? Show it to my friend? Keep it between you guys and me? Did you like it? Did you hate it? Would you have preferred an unhappy ending? And mostly, what did you think of the plot twist- did anyone expct Alice to get hurt instead of Jasper? Please tell me, I adore feedback!!! 3
