Chapter Seven: Traveling
Where are we going? Did you get any help?
"Yes. An old friend and his new wife are going to lend a hand. Though I'm thankful, I feel bad we'll be interrupting their honeymoon. They insisted."
Well, that's a relief. Too bad it's on their honeymoon. I'd hate to be interrupted if it were I. But, I guess if it were a friend, I'd do the same. So where are we going?
"Missoula, Montana. That's where they'll be. I'm guessing we'll make it in about four days. We'll stop at night so you can sleep." I replied.
You don't have to. I'm perfectly comfortable in your arms to tell the truth. And your skin helps soothe my arm.
"Well, we'll see. And here." With that, I walked over and sat beside him. I let him put his arm up against my skin. He sighed with relief.
Thank you.
"No problem. What are you watching now?"
Jurassic Park 3
"How many of these movies are there?!"
Just three. After that I'm watching The Chronicles of Narnia: The Lion, the Witch, and the Wardrobe. Then I think the second one comes on, Prince Caspian. (A/N: I'm not sure if that's playing on T.V. yet. Just pretend it is.) By the way, I ate lunch while you were on the phone. Thanks for getting those.
I rolled my eyes and settled down beside Jasper. Though I may have seemed at ease, I was on full alert. I didn't want to miss anything that might have bad consequences. After the movie, I turned to Jasper.
"Do you want to see me in the sun? We can go to a small park I saw. It won't take long." I inquired.
Sure.
He got up and in a few seconds we were out the door and in the park. I stepped out into the sunlight and Jasper gasped. I smiled as I glanced at my sparkling skin.
"You understand why we can't be seen by humans now? It's just way too obvious that we're different from them." I stated.
He nodded slightly and mouthed the word 'wow'. I smiled. He walked up to me and reached out a hand, hesitant. He gave me a questioning look and I nodded. Jasper gently touched my shimmering arm. He touched my shoulder, neck, and eventually, face. I closed my eyes while he finished his inspection. When he pulled away and wrote something on his board, I looked up.
Alice, you're gorgeous. This comes with being a vampire? So when I'm one I'll be the same? This is…this is just amazing.
"Yes. You'll be like me. And thank you, Jasper. You don't look too bad yourself." I said softly. He looked at me disbelievingly and I laughed.
"Well, it's true. You don't!" I commented. He shrugged and we made our way back to the motel under the cover of the clouds that had temporarily come out.
When we got back Jasper ate and I planned. We'd have to travel as quickly as we could. I was hoping we could visit with Garrett and Kate at least for a little bit. And that Jasper could rest. Try to not be nervous for a change. That night he slept soundly. I decided I'd want to get an early start tomorrow.
The next morning Jasper ate early and I checked out. Quickly, I packed our clothes in the small pack I'd gotten yesterday. We left at around 7:30 A.M. It was midnight when I finally stopped. We hadn't stopped much today and I was pleased we had made it into Sterling, Colorado. I decided to skip the hotel today and set Jasper down in a group of trees on the pine needles that layered the ground. I lay down next to him and kept watch while he slept.
Around three in the morning, I saw James and Victoria in a vision. They were starting to pursue. I saw them cross the Kansas/Colorado border and make it into Sterling by morning. They would find us by morning.
Ah, terribly short chapter and small cliffie. No, not feeling evil. Lol. Though you might beg to differ. Anywho, see ya next time!
Eminnis and Alicia
