Chapter 10: True Emotion
Jasper was sitting outside of Alice's school, waiting for her to come out of the school. Tapping his thumbs on the handlebars of the bike, he let out a sigh, looking up when he saw Alice walking out of the school. She saw him sitting on the bike and a huge grin appeared on her face.
Skipping over to him, she placed her hand on his chest, kissing him gently. Jasper kissed her back, his hand in the middle of her back. "Coming to pick me up?" she asked when she pulled away.
"Yep," he replied handing her the helmet.
Pulling the helmet on, she climbed on the bike. "Hold on tight darlin," he told her. Letting out a laugh he revved up the bike and sped off.
As he sped down the back roads, they came to a stop and Jasper got off the bike. Helping Alice of, he took the helmet off for her, placing it on the bike. "Where are we going?" she asked.
"I want to show you something," he replied.
He held onto her hand. "Do you trust me?" he asked. Alice held onto his hands.
"With my life," she replied.
Smiling, he pulled her onto his back. She held onto him tight as he started running through the forest. Letting out a shriek, she kept her arms tightly around him the best she could.
When he finally came to a stop, he carefully placed Alice onto the ground. "Just until you can get back on your feet," he commented with a smile. Smiling back, Alice got up from the ground and gasped.
"Jasper…" she whispered.
The view was spectacular, they could see all above the tree tops towards the mountains. "It's so beautiful," she said quietly. He stood behind her, wrapping his arms around her.
"It was my place to go when I was confused about what I felt for you. Alice, before we met, I loved no one, I despised every living thing on this planet," he admitted.
He rested his chin over her shoulder. "When I'm with you, I almost feel human again," he said quietly. Turning around, Alice rested her hand on his face. Jasper smiled as he leaned forward, kissing her softly. She kissed him back, wrapping her arms around his neck.
Pulling back, Alice looked up when the sun broke through the clouds. Looking at her boyfriend, she smiled to see the sun making his skin shine like diamonds. Reaching up, she touched his face gently. "I love you Alice," he told her softly.
Standing there stunned, her eyes widened in disbelief. All Jasper could feel was her surprise. "Alice…" he said quietly. A huge grin appeared on her face.
"I love you," she answered smiling.
A grin appeared on Jasper's face as he wrapped his arms around her waist, swinging her around. Alice laughed, hugging him tight. After setting her back down on the ground, he kissed her deeply, his hand on the back of her neck. She kissed him back, wrapping her arms around his back.
What they didn't know was that Fredrick was watching them. "Ha, ha, gotcha," he sneered. He turned and disappeared into the trees.
Back at Maria's camp, the coven leader was waiting for word when Fredrick returned. "Well?" she asked impatiently.
"I have found him mistress," he answered after bending down on one knee in front of her.
"Did you?" she asked grinning from ear to ear.
"Yes mistress," he replied.
Maria had Fredrick stand up from the ground and grinned proudly at him. "Where is he?" she asked.
"In Forks," he replied.
"Excellent," she said hissing gleefully.
She turned back to her spy. "What else did you see?" she ordered. A grin appeared on his face.
"Your once faithful warrior mistress has now taken a human as a mate," he replied.
Maria's smile faded. "A human as a mate?" she asked.
"I saw it with my two eyes," he replied.
She hissed lightly. "A human for a mate, that is against our laws as well as against nature in itself," she sneered. She rubbed her hands together as a plan began to form. "I think we should pay Jasper and his little human pet for a visit," she commented. The coven chuckled evilly at her plan. "Come Fredrick, Emilio, we will go to Forks," she told them before they disappeared into the forest.
When Jasper took Alice back home that night, the night was silent and the two of them were smiling brightly with happiness. Jasper walked her up to he door, holding her hand. "I will see you tomorrow morning?" he asked.
"As always," she replied.
Jasper kissed the back of her hand. "I have to hunt tonight, but I will be back before you wake up," he assured her.
"I'll be waiting," she replied.
He kissed her gently, his free hand resting on her cheek. Alice kissed him back with a smile, her hand resting over his. He pulled away, resting his forehead against hers. "I love you," he whispered.
"And I you," she answered.
Jasper kissed her once more before climbing onto his motorcycle and driving off into the night. Alice watched him go with a small giggle before skipping into the house.
