Okay, I know I'm being jumpy, but thank you for your good reviews! In this chapter and the next chapter, the characters kind of take on personalities that I made for them…they don't always act like they would in the book.
The Cullen Couples: Alice Meets Jasper
Jasper used to be fun and outgoing, until he was drafted for the war. He served his side of the country, quite well too, until he was shot. Carlisle Cullen changed him, or else he wouldn't be living, or however you want to call it. Once he was changed, he was shy and withdrawn. He tried to not hunt humans but the smell of their blood lured him, and he was unable to resist. He was so depressed and upset that Carlisle knew he needed to find someone that could make him happy again.
In 1948, he met Alice, who was the perfect person to do that. Alice was thought to be mentally insane, because she has visions of the future. A worker in the asylum changed her, so she had been a vampire for a few years. Alice could control herself better than Jasper could, so when they met Alice eventually helped Jasper.
The two met in a vision of Alice's. She saw herself telling him directions. So when it actually happened, she didn't let him leave her. They became best friends instantly, each being shy and intelligent.
When Alice and Jasper were in a tough or frustrating situation, Alice would have visions telling them what to do, and Jasper would use his calming powers to calm both of them.
The two of them had been traveling together for just about two years, when Alice had a vision one day that would lead them to where they are today.
"Jasper! I just saw us, in a huge mansion, with other people! How is that even possible?" Alice got very excited at the thought of a big family.
"I'm not sure, Alice. What else did you see?"
"There was a man, in doctor's clothes, and a woman, sitting listening to another man playing the piano. Then you and me were sitting on the couch, laughing. There were two other people, but the man carried the woman up the stairs as she giggled. It was raining outside, and then, there was someone in the room with us that wasn't like us. I'm not sure how, but she was sitting on the piano bench with the other man." Alice looked excited and confused, but there wasn't anything they could do about it now.
"Alice! Alice, you'll never believe this! I found a place where it is cloudy almost every day! We can go outside without worrying anymore!" Jasper picked his girlfriend up and spun her around as she giggled.
"Where is it?"
"It's in Washington. I know it's far from here, but don't you want to be able to go out and not have to care if it's sunny out? Most days there, it is cloudy or raining. It sounds perfect for us!" Alice had never seen Jasper this excited before, so she figured it must be a really nice place for them.
Jasper and Alice packed their things and took a flight to Seattle. When they arrived they had to drive a while to the town called Forks where Jasper claimed he bought a house already. Within the next hour Jasper pulled into a driveway of a cute, one story house. Alice fell in love with it immediately, and they used their strength and speed to unpack everything that day.
Alice had another vision about the doctor, except this time it was in the hospital. She had looked a little different, with a new haircut and clothes she didn't own yet. She was yelling at the man who played the piano in the last vision. Then, the doctor, whose nametag she couldn't make out, talked to the man and then the man kissed the patient's neck, and without warning, bit her. The screaming pain of the poor girl hurt Alice to watch. Then her vision ended. She walked over to Jasper and rested her head on his shoulder and cried.
"What's wrong?"
"I had another vision about the people we were with in the mansion. We have to go to the hospital and find the doctor!" They both went to the hospital and asked the receptionist to speak with the best doctor in the building. She led them to Dr. Carlisle Cullen. Alice walked in and the first things she said were, "You're a vampire!"
Jasper had to explain the rest, and Carlisle only replied with, "I don't know whom you are talking about. I do have a son who plays piano, but he would never feed off a human." Alice thought about it a lot. Maybe her vision was wrong. When the doctor offered for them to come and meet his son, they couldn't refuse.
When the arrived, Alice was shocked. This was the house of her vision.
"Jasper! This is the house! This is it! We're going to live here one day!"
"Well, if you can see the future, why not move in now?" Carlisle offered. Esme was thrilled. Alice looked at Jasper, who just shrugged. It was a really beautiful mansion. Alice accepted and as Alice and Jasper said hello to Carlisle's wife, Edward came down to meet them. Alice and Jasper learned that Edward, Rosalie and Emmet were all adopted. And since Alice and Jasper were alone, they would be adopted and part of the family too. Alice couldn't have been more thrilled. She always wanted a family, since in the asylum she was kept alone, most of the time.
Jasper and Alice had been living at the Cullen residence since 1950. Jasper used the name Hale, as well as his sister Rosalie, since they look so much alike. One night, Christmas Eve to be exact, Jasper took Alice to the garden in the backyard, where they had put Christmas lights up. It was really romantic, just sitting on a bench with each other.
Then, Jasper stood up, put his hand in his pocket, took out a small box and kneeled down on one knee.
"Mary Alice Brandon Cullen, I love you so much, and so-" He was cut off with Alice jumping up and saying yes over and over again. She ran into his arms and kisses his lips passionately.
"How did you know what I was asking?"
"My visions…they ruin everything, don't they?"
Okay, one more chapter left! Just to let everyone know, these chapters are in different time frames, but they all have to do with one another. So, the next one is how Edward and Bella are after New Moon, in present time. This chapter ended in the 1950's.
