Jasper:

We hurried down the hall, my arm wrapped tightly around Alice's shoulders. I could feel her trembling under my hands. I stared down the hall to Carlisile's study. "I think we should tell the others". I said glancing down at Alice as she looked up at me timidly.

"Yeah. Okay". She whispered looking back at her feet.

I reached into my pocket, pulling my cell phone out swiftly. Pressing down on the speed dial button, I pressed the receiver to my ear. Edward's voice came on in just two rings.

"Yes Jasper"? He said quickly as I heard Bella's voice in the back ground.

"Alice had a vision. It something very important, hurry". I muttered as the line went dead.

We walked quickly to Carlisile's study, my hand thudding on the door before Alice could lift her hand.

"Come in". Carlisile said pleasantly from the other side.

We hurried into the room, Esme's eyes following us questioningly as she rose from the leather arm chair. "What is the matter"? She asked in a motherly voice as she rushed to Alice. I lowered my hands into my pockets as I walked away standing beside Carlisile's desk.

"I had a vision." Alice said, her eyes flickering to me. She took a long breath, calm confidence flowing from her. "I thought I should tell you about it." Alice said her eyes turning to Carlisile.

"Is it bad? Are we in danger"? Carlisile said quickly as Alice shook her head.

"No. Not us". She whispered as the door swung open.

Edward stood in the doorway, his hair messily swept in different directions and his shirt wrinkled. "What is it"? He said looking directly at me than Alice.

"I had a vision". She whispered as Edward nodded slowly falling silent.

"Should we gather Rosalie and Emmett? They aren't very far". Esme said glancing at Carlisile.

"No." Carlisile said smoothly. "They can be informed later. Now what happened Alice"? He said kindly as Alice breathed.

"I had a vision." She began slowly as everyone watched her. "It was strange. It was like I was seeing a memory. I saw the past".

"How is that possible"? Edward muttered as she shrugged.

"I think it's that girl. She's sending me these visions so that I.. We can help her". She said folding her arms as she leaned against the book shelf. "There is something going on there.. This group, I saw her with them in my vision. I think they were a pack and I think she was one of them".

"What"? Edward said shifting away from her. "A pack? She's a werewolf"? He asked skeptically as his eyes shot to Carlisile.

"What else happened"? Carlisile said ignoring the interruption focused on Alice's vision.

"They were doing some kind of ritual.. There were several young boys called out of the crowd. The leader cut a human hostage they had and smeared the blood on the boy's faces. Then he released the man. It was like the boy's first hunt. And that man would be their prey".

We all listened silently, no more outbursts from Edward as he absorbed her words.

Carlisile spoke first. "And you said this girl.. In your other vision she was a vampire"?

"Yes". Alice said with a nod as Carlisile looked at his hands. "That must have been before she was changed".

"That can't be". Carlisile muttered as he rose from his chair. We watched him pace to the front of the desk leaning backward against it.

"It has to be. This vision showed she was in this pack. And the others she was a vampire".

Carlisile shook his head roughly, blond hair shaking back and forth. "It just isn't likely." He muttered to himself as he placed his hand on his chin. "I've heard legends of attempts at mixing the two species, but they all failed." He said looking up at our confused faces. He sighed as his eyes closed and then opened. "You see, the werewolf gene is very strong, it nearly devours everything it touches inside the host's body. Every trace of human existence is almost wiped out. And then there is our venom, so potent it takes only a few hours to transform a human. The two cannot exist in the same body because it would destroy the host from the inside out. The two types of DNA fight for control until nothing is left."

I watched him shaking his head as if he were mentally fighting with himself. "These are just legends, and for them to be true is unlikely. Most of our kind didn't even acknowlege the existance of werewolves let alone the science behind them. So there is no previous record to go by-"

"It is just like Reneesme". Edward said as his body weight shifted to his other foot. "Nothing like her had ever existed previously. The idea was disregarded as folklore until her birth. Maybe this girl does exist, an exception to the laws of both our species."

"If that is the case, then it's only a matter of time until the Volturi go after her". I said as I folded my arms. "They cannot let someone like her live. No one knows what someone like that could be capable of."

"That is true. And there is also the fact that she is an immortal child. They won't overlook that". Esme said as she ran her fingers through her hair.

"I still don't understand." Carlisile muttered as he studied Alice's face. "Why is she showing you all these things? Surely there is someone vampire or werewolf in the area".

"That's just it." Alice said looking from Carlisile, to me to Edward and then to Esme. "She has no one. She was being hunted by wolves, possibly her own pack. And then there are the vampires, what would they think? A hybrid child come begging them for help? They would surely call the Volturi just so that they could not be implicated in aiding her." Alice shook her head. "I think the only reason I can see visions of her is because of my gift. I can see her because she is part vampire, yet the visions are warped because of the werewolf in her. And maybe her gift allows her to show me her memories."

"What do you know of her gift? What have you seen"? Edward said turning toward her.

"I'm not really sure what it is. There are signs that are similar to Bella's gift, yet it is completely different. I won't know what it is until is she chooses to show me".

"Good". Carlisile muttered as he straightened up, his eyes searching the book shelves. "You keep tuned to her visions. Evaluate what her gift is and determine whether or not she will be a threat. Meanwhile, I am going to investigate some things". He said gliding to the book shelf as Esme moved back to the arm chair.

"Where is Bella"? Alice said looking to Edward.

"She's with Reneesme". He said smoothly as he sighed. "You know this whole thing is very complicated". He muttered shaking his head.

"Isn't everything"? Alice joked, her head turning to me as I approached her. Her bright smile lit up on her face as her arms wrapped around my waist. "I'm glad you guys don't think I'm crazy". She said looking from me to Edward.

"Nah. You get used to the craziness after a while. We hardly notice it about you anymore." he said jokingly as he passed through the door into the hall.

"Oh haha". Alice said sarcastically over her shoulder as we turned, walking back to our room. "I'm glad you don't think I am crazy". She said smiling brightly up at me.

"Just a bit. I still can't understand why I am so blessed to have you". I said as she nudged my ribs lightly.

"If you can't understand that, then you're the crazy one". She said with a light giggle as we walked into our room.
