Chapter 7

Jasper POV

Alice and I have been staying at a hotel for about a week now in Wyoming. We had been looking for a house to stay until we found out where the Cullen's were. Alice had suggested that this would be a perfect place because there were not a lot of people here and we would get a house away from other people so nothing would happen.

I heard a knock on the door and both Alice and I whipped our faces to where the noise came from. "Room service" Alice whispered beside me as she stood up to get the door. She was about to open the door when we heard the person on the other side dropped something glass. We both heard the glass shatter and the voice cursed underneath their breath. Alice opened the door and was about to help the lady on the other side when she stopped herself.

Alice turned to me and she had a look of panic on her face. "Hold your breath" she whispered from between clenched teeth. Before I did what she asked the scent hit my nose, hard.

Before I could stop myself, I was right beside the human with my eyes a very dangerous black. The lady's hand was cut very bad and blood was oozing out of a deep cut that sliced through her hand to about the bottom of her forearm. I saw the fear in her eyes as I bent my head towards her exposed neck.

"Jasper" I heard Alice whisper though her tight lips but it was too late. My lips met the human's neck and sliced through the soft skin. Then I dropped her to the ground and realized what I had done.

She still had a little blood in her but not enough for her to live I knew for sure. I dropped my gaze and looked down at her as I felt a small hand on my shoulder.

"We need to hurry" Alice murmured beside me. I picked the body up and she led me to the trees behind the motel. We had stayed on the first floor so all we had to do is step outside of our room and we were outside. We walked for about three minutes and then Alice stopped.

"This is good" she said to me quietly as she looked in my direction. I placed the body on the ground quickly and then she stepped towards it. She bent down and put dirt on top of the body to make it look like someone had tried to hide her. She smeared dirt on her face and shut her eyes.

Alice stood up lithely and turned to me again. "There that should do it. She has been out for three hours now so they won't suspect anything for another two" she told me. She grabbed my hand and led me back to our room. She quickly entered and went into the back and got a broom and quickly got the glass out from on the door outside of our room. I helped her clean it up and we put in the trash in our room.

Alice looked around the room and her eyes locked on a glass vase with pink flowers in it. She walked over to it and brought over to the trash can. She crushed it quickly and tore the flowers up. She made sure that some of the dirt water got on the carpeted floor and threw it all away.

Lucky for us there was no blood on the concrete outside the door. The lady had quickly covered it with a towel as soon as it had happened.

Alice fished through her bag and pulled out a pair of sunglasses. "Here, wear these. We need to check out before they notice that she is missing" Alice whispered to me. She quickly got her stuff together as did I and she walked over to the bed and messed up the sheets so they looked like they were used. She grabbed my hand and started to go to the door but I didn't move.

She turned to look at me, confused. She looked at my face and must have seen my regret and how upset I was. "Jasper, this is not your fault, don't blame yourself for this" she whispered.

"Yes it is, if I had better control this wouldn't have happened" I said as I looked to the ground ashamed of myself. She tilted my chin up so I looked at her again.

"Look at me; you lasted so much longer than I did. I slipped the first week I tried it. You aren't going to be perfect at it from the start" she whispered to me. She put her hands on my cheeks and placed a tender kiss on my lips. "We must go now" she murmured as she pulled on my hand.

We grabbed our things and put them in the car and went to check out. There was a small line so we had to wait about five minutes. We finally got to the counter and Alice talked with the man at the desk with a smile on her face. She nudged me and I jumped into their conversation.

We finally left and the man waved goodbye to us. "We have to look innocent" she told me as I silently questioned her. We got into the car and we drove off. Alice told me where to go and soon enough we were at a home company. We walked in and she went to a desk.

Alice told the man what she was looking for and he found the exact same house that she had been looking at. We were there for about an hour and they had set up an appointment for us to see the house tomorrow at nine forty-five in the morning. She smiled and thanked him for his help and we left.

We checked into a hotel closer to where we would be tomorrow and once we had our stuff inside Alice looked at me. "I think we should go hunting" she stated. I looked at her eyes and they were black with a little hint of gold. I nodded and we headed off into the forest.

I still felt awful about what had happened and I was deeply ashamed of myself. "Alice, I am so sorry" I whispered. She turned to me and put her arms around me.

"No, I am sorry. I was right there and I could have stopped you. If I had seen what was going to happen I would have stopped it. This is my fault" she murmured as she pulled her arms tighter around me.

"Alice, don't blame yourself for this please. This is nowhere near your fault" I said as I stroked her cheek gently. She sighed and kissed me on the cheek and I moved her chin so that she was facing me. I kissed her soft lips and wrapped my arm around her. "You have done so much for me so it will never be your fault" I murmured as I put my head against hers. She smiled and then pulled away.

She darted away and I followed as we started to hunt. She caught a small mountain lion and a fawn and I caught a bear and a deer. We went back to the hotel room and Alice sat down next to me on the couch.

She curled her small body against me and sat there in silence. Normally this would probably be awkward for the average person but for us this was very normal. When we sat in silence we had these silent conversations and just by her feelings I seemed to communicate with her. We always understood each other and always felt what the other was feeling. She was definitely my soul mate

Today was April the seventh and that meant that I have been with her for two months and almost two weeks. I felt like I had known her for a century because we had bonded so well. I wanted to spend the rest of eternity with her and I somehow knew that she felt the same way.

I had never before thought about the sacrament of holy matrimony until now. When I went to church with my family and the priest talked about the subject I thought that it would never apply to me since I wanted to serve in the army.

I loved Alice so much and I wanted her to be mine. I couldn't bring myself to propose to her though. My parents had always said that rushed marriages ended badly and that I should avoid them at all costs. Also, I didn't feel that vampires should get marries. I felt that it should always be something that humans do.

As I spend more time with her I feel that marriage is acceptable and worth it if I get her. She has shown that we will be but she never told me when. I knew that we were meant to be.

We sat there in silence until dawn and Alice started moving around the room. She changed clothes and then handed me an outfit. I looked at her questioningly and she pouted and I sighed as I got up to go change.

I looked at my reflection at my outfit. I was wearing dark blue jeans with a white button up shirt that was formal. Alice bounced up to me with capris and a hot pink v-neck blouse that complemented her small form perfectly.

She came up to me with a tie in her hand and fixed my collar to the shirt. When she was done she brought the tie around my neck and pulled me closer to her. She pecked me on the lips and let go of the tie and danced away from me.

I quickly tied the tie and fixed my hair. She grabbed her purse and walked towards the door. "We can leave everything here, we will be back" she said to me. Then she turned and messed up the bed and this time grabbed my hand and pulled me along with her.

We walked out the door and headed straight to the car. She decided to drive this time and we quickly sped off to the house. We reached the house in fifteen minutes and we got out of the car. The salesman wasn't here yet so we waited about seven minutes.

The outside of the house was colored white ad had two tall white pillars that were on opposite sides of the front door. Large windows surrounded the house and the front door was carved of wood and had glass in the center. The air was a little moist so I knew that there was a lake or river nearby.

The man pulled up in his car and quickly got out seeing that we were here. "Hello" he said welcomingly to the two of us. He shook both of our hands and gestured for us to follow him.

He unlocked the door and let us tour around. "This house was just built two months ago. We just put it out on the market about a week and a half ago" he told us as we looked around. He then led us to the back of the house and a medium sized pool was centered in the back with a hot tub attached to it on the side.

There was some furniture in the house because it came with that, but they said that there would be more shipments later. We finished the tour and signed off on the house. We shook hands with the man again and he handed us his business card.

The house was now ours and now we just had to wait a week for everything to be finished and for them to finish with the furniture and we could move in. We drove back to the hotel and got back to our room at twelve thirty-seven.

Room service had come just like Alice had said and fixed the bed and fixed very few things. We could both smell the now faint scent of human in the room but it didn't bother us too much.

Alice walked over to her tote bag and pulled out her sketchbook. She sat on the bed and motioned for me to join her. I debated this for a moment feeling that this was wrong but soon joined her by her side. Her hand flew across the page at an inhuman pace and I wondered how she drew everything so well while she wasn't even looking at the paper.

She soon finished the paper and looked at me with confusion. "I have never seen this place before but I see it all the time in my visions" she murmured as she looked down at the paper once again.

I studied the drawing and recognized the structure immediately. It was a church, or at leas it looked like one. "It is a church, I think" I told her. I wasn't sure though because I could not see the inside of the building.

"I just see this, no one is there, it is like there is another decision to be made or something" she whispered as she moved her small index finger down the frame and base of the formation.

Alice shut the book and looked at the wall deep in thought. I stayed silent and grasped her hand as she thought. I kissed the palm of her hand gently and her eyes flashed to mine. She came up and kissed me softly on the lips and then laid her small head against my nose.

Then I felt it; the constant waves of love coming off of her and I moved my lips back to her own. She welcomed me and deepened the kiss. She was now in front of me with her small frame lying on my chest and her legs around my midsection. Her arms snaked around me neck gently and fell into place as her fingers ran delicately through my honey blonde hair. My hands met the top of her back and slowly worked themselves down to her petite hips. She pressed her body closer to mine and then I felt her push me gently but with force backwards. Her legs were gone before my back made contact with the bed and were now straddled on either side of my midriff.

I played along with her and trailed butterfly kissed from her cheek to the bottom of her chin and placed my lips firmly back on hers. Her excitement sparked and I felt her shudder on top of me as she whimpered quietly. She trailed kisses from my nose to the base of my neck and kissed my adam's apple. Her hands were now on either side of my face as she moved her perfect lips back to mine and deepened the kiss. My hands felt up her petite and curvy figure but stopped above her rib line still knowing that I had to be respectable to her. I moved my hands back to her waist and I heard her take in a ragged breath.

Her hands shifted and moved down the curve of my neck and to the top of my shirt. Her hand stayed there for a moment and then fiddled with the button. I froze as she undid the first two buttons to my shirt. I growled quietly and was overwhelmed by her emotions and kissed her passionately on the lips. Then I snapped back to focus.

I moved my lips away from hers and dropped my wondering hands from her and growled again. "Damn it, Alice" I spoke harshly as I pushed her clinging body slightly. She stayed where she was though and looked at me with hurt eyes.

I cupped her cheek and looked at her tenderly. "Alice, I love and I know you know that very much" I whispered as she nodded softly. "I don't want to merely have sex with you; I want to make love with you but…" I trailed off at a loss for words. I buttoned the buttons to my shirt briskly.

"But what?" she whispered as I heard the starting of tearless sobs erupt in the back of her throat.

"I have to do this right. I would like to marry you before we do this" I murmured between clenched teeth as I sat up so we were no longer lying on top of each other on the bed.

"You are opposed to it though. I have seen it. Ever since you met me you felt like marriage was only a ritual for humans" she whispered as she turned her head away from me.

"Look at me, Alice. I want you as my wife. I want you to be happy.. I am surprised you haven't seen it. I do want to marry you" I whispered to her as I kissed her softly on the cheek.

"I have waited all my life for you. I want you" she whispered as she begged with me. She laid her head on my chest and I rubbed my hand up and down her back comfortingly. I didn't mean to make her upset so I sent calm waves towards her.

"Give me a year?" I asked hopefully as I pulled away so we now looked each other in the face her face contoured into a look of sadness and she slightly pouted

"Why? If you don't want me like that tell me and I will out force myself on you" she said firmly as she scooted back so there was more space between the two of us.

I immediately pulled he to me. "Don't ever think that. I want you more than you can imagine" I whispered as I kissed her passionately to let her know that I was telling the truth. "This is just so fast. Not that I have a problem with it but I want you to know what you are asking for" I told her.

She hugged me. "I know what I want and that is you and nothing else" she murmured as she let go of me.

I sighed and dropped the conversation. I knew that she was going to get what she wanted soon enough. I stood up off the bed and sat in the chair across from it. Alice looked at me curiously ad just sighed.

I just hoped that one day soon I would take her hand in marriage.
