"You have to take her offer Jasper." The words coming from Alice may as well have been spoken in Chinese for all the sense they were making. "I don't want to be the reason innocent vampires like Misty, or Charlotte, or Peter, or even you, die the final death. I wouldn't be able to live with that kind of burden. If she wants to kill me then she will even if you do take her deal, but at least she won't hurt anyone else once I am out of her way."
"No!" I snapped with a firm shake of my head. How could she even suggest such a thing? "There is no way I am going to let you sacrifice yourself just so everyone can go on living. Do you not understand none of would want to go on without you? They see you as family and letting yourself get killed would destroy them and you know it. Maria never treated us like we were family or even friends, but you Alice, you did and that's why none of us will let you sacrifice yourself. I love you and if something happened to you, I would no longer have a reason to exist."
"Yes you would." She countered as a half frown half smile formed on her lips. "Misty the others are going to need you Jasper. The young ones will need a father figure and you could be that for them. They trust you, I trust you, and I know you would do right by each and every one of them."
"They trust you more Alice." I replied while running my left hand through my honey blond locks. I was frustrated, worried, and angry all in one and if I didn't keep my hands occupied I could very well end up bringing down the small old house which was our temporary home. "Have you ever considered that maybe this is exactly what Maria wants? She is trying to tear us apart Alice and you know it. She wants us to disagree so we will separate and if separated we become an easier target. I know you're scared, I can feel it and i'll be truthful with you; I'm scared as well, but the difference is I am going to use said fear to my advantage. I will not allow fear or Maria get the better of me.'
"But Jasper-" Alice went to argue with me, but I never gave her the chance.
"No Alice, there is no if, and, or but when it comes to this topic of conversation." I left no room for argument in the tone of voice I used. "You need to buck up soldier. You are stronger than this, I've seen that strength and it can be your best friend if you allow it. I need you to find that inner strength my Alice. I need you to get that fight back because I am not going to lose you whether it be to Maria or your own depression. I only just found you and I am not ready to let go yet; I doubt I ever will be. Even with the possibility of having forever with you, well it's still not long enough."
"You really know how to charm a girl don't you Jazz?" The small pixie like vampire asked before suddenly jumping up and in to my arms. "I want you to promise me one thing and if you do then in return I promise to keep fighting and not give up okay?"
"Okay?" My eyebrow raised in curiosity. At least she was snapping out of this depressing mood so i suppose that was a good thing.
"If we survive this, or if only you survive it, I want you to promise me that you'll try to find this Cullen family. I know without a doubt in my mind that we are supposed to end up with them." Alice smiled and I could feel content and happiness rolling off of her in waves. "Misty should come with us as well, I get the feeling she would get along with one of the future sons not yet turned. As I was saying, I do hope we will find them together, but if for some reason I do not make it, you need to find them because it's where you belong."
Taking one of her smaller hands in mine, I pressed a kiss to her pale knuckles. "No Ali, it's not where I belong, it's where we belong and I am going to make sure we both end up their in the future."
I had been planning to say more, but I noticed Alice had gone stiff in my arms and her eyes glazed over as she had a vision. I watched her closely trying to get an idea of what she was seeing since I could not feel her emotions during a vision since technically she wasn't really feeling it in real time, but rather feeling it in the future and my power only allowed for me to feel what someone was experiencing in the now.
After a couple of moments she snapped out of it and her body loosened up and her eyes focused once again. Immediately I knew what she was going to say, almost as if I had read her mind. "She has Charlotte and she is demanding I meet her or she will kill her. She wants Peter to come as well, but not you. She wants to talk to me and before you say anything Jasper, whether you like it or not, I am going to go. She won't hurt me, at least not yet; she made it clear that when she kills she is going to make sure you watch. I have to go Jazz, I have seen what she will do to Charlotte if I don't. Do not worry about me Jasper, everything is going to be alright. We have a family out their somewhere waiting for us so nothing is going to happen. I trust you when you say we will be fine, I trust you with my life and with my love."
