a/n aah…sry for taking a while to get this up(compared to usual…) I was buy and tired and feeling kinda lazy…sorry peeps!! I'll update when you guys get another 5 reviews, and I'll make a deal with you…if you guys get to a certain amount of total reviews(it'll probably be 150, but I don't know exactly yet) then I'll write a sequel…BUT! Please, if you have an idea, give me one…(nearer to the end, if you don't mind…)
When Worlds Collide
Less than thirty minutes of worrying and crying, and mostly freaking out, with Edward, Alice arrived. I asked her to stay, because I was the fastest tracker, and she, unwillingly, let me go while she stayed. Now, I'm running, and running. I got back to the car by following my own scent, which is only slightly faded, until I reached Jaspers car.
From there, I climbed in the trees, crawled across the ground, and did everything else I could do to try to find his scent. As I was on the ground, facing away from Alaska, in the southwestern direction, I found a small trace of his scent.
To help my family out, and to keep my scent there through the rain, I rubbed against the trees around his scent a lot, then followed it, letting my hands rub lightly against the trees as I ran, tracing the faint Jasperesque scent.
Trying to stay on the trail was hard, now that the rain was really pouring down and washing everything together. I just hoped my family would be able to find me. I was still going toward Canada.
At the border, I stopped for only a second, to try to let my family catch up a bit. Soon, though, I continued, following his scent across the border and further into Canada.
______________________________________________________________________________
An hour after passing Canada, Alice and Carlisle caught up to me.
"Esme's keeping Edward safe, and we left bits of cloth and other things to mark the trail," Alice informed me.
"Great. Rosalie and Emmett are going to be there in a half hour or so, right?" I asked her.
As we continued running, she jumped onto Carlisle's back, held on, and had a quick vision.
"Yeah. 27 minutes and a half until they are out of the airport. It will take three minutes to get to Esme, then they'll be able to follow the trail until they reach us," Alice said, sighing.
"What's wrong?" I asked her.
"I checked Jaspers future…it's too blurry, I can't see a single real detail, and I only hear screaming."
She jumped off Carlisle's back, and we continued to make our way through Canada.
As we ran, it was silent, except for a little chat about what was left behind by Jasper. A clump of hair or single hair of his that got caught in a tree, a bit of blood left on a pointy branch after it scratched him deeply.
We ran, and ran, and ran…as Alice sobbed, cried, and searched the future for more information about where he would be, though she got nothing new every time.
"God, what if the vampire is killing him?!?!" Alice freaked out, on my back after coming out of a vision.
"Alice, calm down!" I said to her, as she jumped off the back and onto the ground next to me, not even pausing in her run.
"I can't!" She sobbed.
As she did, Rustling in trees behind us meant someone's arrival. We turned, all three of us, including silent and thoughtful Carlisle, and got ready to confront whoever dared interfere with our search.
"Come out," Carlisle said strictly.
Emmett jumped out, followed by Rosalie, and we didn't wait a second before me all ran together, us explaining what we knew so far.
______________________________________________________________________________
Two days. Forty-eight hours. That's how long we spent, since Emmett and Rosalie joined us, searching for Jasper, with no result. In multiple places along the way, the trail would disappear, and we'd spend useful minutes trying to relocate the trail, and finding it in a tree or something similar.
Alice collapsed, as we saw the ocean, not too far off. She sobbed, and sobbed, unable to even utter a single understandable word.
Emmett picked her up, and we officially spoke what we all knew we had done.
"I guess…we aren't going to find Jasper," Rosalie sighed.
Just her saying them made Alice flinch, and let out an involuntary sob.
"No, no, noooooo," She finally spoke, "I can't loose him! He'll never know that I still love him…no!!"
Emmett held her, until we came to an airport. Carlisle got his cell phone out, and called Esme.
"Did you find him?" Esme asked hopefully, and loudly enough for us to all hear.
"No," was Carlisle's sad answer.
Esme repeated it for Edward, who uttered a whispered 'no,' much calmer than but just as horrified as Alice.
"Then, what are we going to do? All the trails are probably gone, after two days and a long rain," Esme said.
"Go home. We've reached the ocean, there's nowhere we can go," Carlisle answered her, "We're getting plane tickets and all now. We'll be back in an hour or two."
______________________________________________________________________________
A month has passed since Jasper was kidnapped. Edward doesn't act like he did when the others were, gone, but Alice is just like that, except she spends more time sobbing and sitting around emotionless. She doesn't do anything that's unneeded, anything she can avoid.
None of us are the same, Rosalie is more sad than she was before, Emmett is just plain sad, to replace his usual humor, Carlisle is always grim, Esme stopped making art and has been caring a little less about the houses appearance, and Edward and I usually spend our time talking about sad things, listening to sad music, and generally depressed.
We made it look like Jasper had been kidnapped(which was true) and that we had come back two days later(Esme had stayed hidden) to find Edward depressed and Jasper nowhere.
The only way to save us from eternal sadness would be to have Jasper back. Alice's love, Esme and Carlisle's son, and everyone else's brother, back.
a/n ok, some of you sorta kinda maybe sorta guessed right…but for anyone who hates me for having him NOT found, go ahead and flame! (seriously…flame all you want…it's still a review, and 5 reviews equal YOU finding out what happens NEXT with the suddenly emo-like Cullens.
