Jasper POV
My mind was reeling; it was a lot to take in… Alice had actually had a vision of us looking for well, nothing. How do we do that? I felt uneasy I realized I just had to trust in her and her ability. Luckily, she was the only being in the entire world I did trust. I always have and she has never let me down, I doubted she ever could. So, in exactly four days we would be searching the globe for a living vampire like Renesme. There was one out there, Alice was sure. But, she would have to try to focus on what she couldn't see instead of what she could. This was definitely new territory for both of us. This would save our family, if we could make it in time. It really all hung on how long it would take for Alice to find who we were looking for. If Kachiri would indeed leave her sisters- Alice was sure that would help us too. But, we both still didn't know why we needed her with us. The uncertainty in the future was really starting to get to Alice. As we ran through the forest towards the Amazon's I glanced beside me. While she ran her eyebrows were fixed together in concentration. A tiny line creased above her nose. I longed to reach out and smooth the line. To pull her to a stop beside me and tell her it would all be okay. That, she can't possible see everything, it is too much pressure for her to put on herself. No matter what was our future we would be in it together no matter what. Even though, she already knows how I feel. I fixed my arm tighter at my side. I didn't want to break her rhythm. That's when I felt her hand softly slip inside my own clasping it tightly in her small palm. Moments like this were when I loved Alice's gift the most.
"We're close" Her rhythmic voice made me smile -we had been running in silence for at least a few hours. All I had been thinking about in those hours were the problems we were facing, the challenges and the pain Alice was going through to protect our family. It had always bothered me the way they all looked to her to foresee any and all problems. I just hoped if we got though this, Alice would have some peace from that pressure. Maybe I could do something when this was all over something just for her. I answered her without thinking.
"Okay" My clipped tone sounded worse than it should have. Alice popped her head to the side, checking to see how aggravated I was.
"Sorry" I instantly regretted my short reply.
"Jazz? Stop worrying! I swear you are stressing more than I am- and you're worried about me… really?" She paused. We were walking now as if it was the most natural thing in the world two vampires out in the jungle. Just out for an evening stroll, I felt Alice's shot of pain as my own. I had hurt her feelings.
"Jazzy, Jazzy… You should know better than to worry about me!" She said before I could get a word in. Her head was cast down, and in that moment my heart broke. I pulled her up into my arms hugging her tightly. I was internally begging for her forgiveness; for my sour attitude. She put up with so much from me and all I really wanted was for her to be as happy as she made me. I felt her delicate hands on my chest wrapping around me hugging me back. I stroked my hands through her short hair and down the curve of her neck. Sucking in a deep breath, the scent of her filled me. The lavender in her hair, leave it to Alice to smell perfectly wondrous in the Amazon Jungle.
"I'm sorry I hurt your feelings…" The remorse in my voice was evident. I felt her squeeze me tighter.
"It's okay; it is…Maybe I am just more sensitive than usual. It's weird I just don't feel like myself right now." At that moment Alice went a little slack in my arms. I pulled back to look into her face. Her eyes were a vacant haze- a Vision. By the way she was concentrating an important one too. Another moment passed and she shook her head back and forth like she was shaking off a bad feeling.
"What did you see?" I asked quickly, patience not being one of my best virtues.
"Rio De Janeiro?" Alice said it like a question instead of an answer.
"How did you know it was Rio?" Usually she didn't know exact locations maybe she saw a landmark or road sign. I was internally debating to myself when she broke through my thoughts.
"No, it was written on a piece of paper. In Bella's handwriting… Hmmm, that's going to bug me." Her tone made me chuckle, one more thing bugging Alice great.
"Welllll, weeell, isn't' thissss a surrrrprise?" the voice coming from the jungle was a deep and seductive a female's voice. No fear, no anxiety accompanied it. The accent pulled you in, the lilt of her voice rising and falling at weird points in each word, each being drawn out.
"The Amazon's?" I asked Alice quickly.
"Yes." Was her only reply.
