New York, 1923
I stood up from the dead human. I hated doing this, surely there was another way?
"Hey Alice! Come here a sec, Gavin has some good gossip!," Tina called to me.
I ran over to where she was standing with Gavin, who had just come back from San Francisco.
"Okay, listen carefully when I was in San Francisco I came across some other vampires, and they were talking about a vampire callec Carlisle Cullen, they were saying he is a human doctor and that he feeds off the blood of animals! Can you imagine?"
Tina started laughing hysterically.
"Don't you find it funny Alice? Vampires living off animal blood," Tina said, still laughing.
"Where is this Carlisle, Gavin?" I asked him.
Maybe his diet was the right diet. I didn't want to live this way.
"I don't know, don't want to know either. Why would I?" he replied.
I nodded and started to walk away.
"Alice! Where are you going?" Tina shouted after me.
"I'm leaving."
"But, why?" she asked, suddenly in front of me.
"I'm sick of this way of life, I'm going to try the animal diet and since there are no animals in New York I'm going somewhere else, maybe Canada," I said pushing her aside.
"Are you serious?!" Gavin said, "Well. good luck little pixie! I'm glad I met you!"
I walked off into the night, leaving them behind.
Canada, 1946
I had been here 23 years, moving from place to place. I had tried harder and harder to keep the animal diet but to no avail. I kept having visions of a tall, honey-blond man and we found Dr. Carlisle Cullen together. We lived with him and his family.
I was sitting on a stool, watching the clock. I glanced at a menu with the name 'Philadelphia Diner' printed on top. A tall, blond man walked in, hair wet from the rain.
Jasper Whitlock. I had to find him. I loved him yet I didn't know him. I mused, about my vision. There was something new. I looked at the menu and it was called 'Philadelphia Diner'. My next destination, Philadelphia.
Philadelphia, 1948
I had searched this city for two years just looking for Jasper. I had been in almost every diner and I was coming close. I could feel it. I walked through the rain, searching the street for a diner. I had been stivcking to my animal diet and my eyes had turned golden brown. I stopped outside a diner on the corner and stared at the sign. 'Philadelphia Diner' it said. I was so happy I could scream but I didn't want to draw attention to myself. I walked in calmly and sat on the stool in my vision. I glanced at the clock. Ten minutes to go.
"Would you like anything Miss?" the waitress asked.
"No thank you," I said smiling sweetly.
She was middle aged with her hair tied up in a bun.
I started tapping my fingers on the menu, getting impatient. I picked it up and glanced through the disgusting food. I looked at the clock again. He should be arriving now. I glanced towards the door and saw him standing there. He looked much more better in person than in my mind. He was tall with wavy, honey-blond hair, that was soaking wet. He scanned the room with his bright red eyes. He fed on humans, I would have to change that. I hopped off my stool and walked over to him.
"You've kept me waiting a long time," I said, confident.
"Sorry ma'am," he replied.
I took his hand and I knew that from this moment on my life would be better. I wouldn't be so alone anymore. I smiled and he smiled back, his smile seemed to light up the whole room.
