Jasper POV
With the stranger named William miles behind us Alice and I continued west toward the small hidden house that I knew Charlotte and Peter visited so often. Alice ran next to me within an arms distance. I felt no regret for the death I had just caused, in fact I was strangely relieved that it was over and Alice was safe. Then I noticed her slowing and she was stifling a laugh; her eyes danced as they locked with mine. What is she not telling me? I thought. Then it hit me.
"Why didn't you tell me how massively huge he was?" Thinking back to first moment I saw William step out from the darkness.
She grinned, "I wondered when you would ask me about that! Yep, he was big, but, you're fast! My Hero! I knew you would win" She winked at me then.
"We're almost there, and I am super excited!" Alice didn't have to tell me I could feel her excitement like little shocks of electricity tingling on my skin. I smiled at her trying to release the anger and tension that was still sizzling in my veins from the fight. There would be no guilt from this kill. Now, if I could just let go of my past guilt. Maybe helping my family -fighting for my family would be penance for my past sins. I squeezed the hand that rested slightly in my own and the small house came into sight.
Alice POV
This is going to work, it is. IT IS. Confidence Alice! Believe in your visions-in yourself.I often have these sorts of internal conversations with myself. Usually not right next to Jazz though, with my hand clutching his own. He would feel it. As Jasper's friend's home sat before us just like in my mind, it all became too real. I felt his hand's on my shoulders before I even realized it was happening. The switch in my mind being flipped on, my muscles going slightly weak a haze drifted over my open eyes and I could see; The Denali clan arriving and accepting Renesme, Other faces then, all were agreeing to bear witness. Bella typing on the keyboard trying to decipher my note! The pictures flashed faster now, Bella being trained to fight, Rosalie and Emmett not being able to make it to the Amazon's. I saw Jazz's face then leaning close to mine his forehead brushing my own.
"There you are." He let out a sigh of relief and hummed softly in my ear knowing that I needed a minute to sort out the things I had seen. After a few minutes he finally had to ask,
"Where are we off to next" What did you see? You shouldn't worry- Alice, my Beloved." The tenor of his voice was soothing he was calming me; my breathing slowed and my eyelashes fluttered up.
"Well, we are on track, and we have to go to the Amazon's next" Rose and Emmett won't make it there. He tilted my chin up and traced my jaw with his hand grazing over my skin slowly.
"As you wish" Pulling me up to stand again he linked his arm through my own. As we moved closer to the old house music was softly playing we could hear it streaming out of an open window to the side of the house. As we moved closer I recognized the soft guitarist melody. It was a favorite of Jasper's always calming him: Andante by Ferdinando Curulli drifted out of the window. I looked up to Jazz his eyes were closed as his paced slowed a half smile hinted on his lips. He opened his eyes and twirled me to face him. His arms encircled me and swayed me softly to the rhythm of the guitar.
"I know we have to hurry now but, we will finish this dance"
His gaze held that of a promise. I nodded in agreement and I saw a flash of us dancing on the front porch of the house we stood next to. My heart erupted for the love I had for him and he breathed in deeply as it engulfed him.
"Jasper! What a surprise we've missed you!" Charlotte burst out of the screen door her long auburn hair falling over her shoulders. She was tall compared to me and with her hourglass figure she was a certified knockout! It made me happy to know that Jasper had such good friends. She pulled us both into a tight hug and Jasper smiled wide.
"So where's Peter?" he asked her while she was busy searching us over with her eyes.
"Yeah, of course he hardly ever leaves my side! You know that!" she giggled at us her crimson eyes were bright with curiosity. Just then Peter's voice interrupted Charlotte's laughter.
"Hey now! I thought I was the only one that could make you laugh!" Peter stepped off the front porch and slowly jogged over to us. He seemed like the perfect companion for Charlotte his light sandy blonde hair neatly parted on the side where it fell loosely over his left eye. He was almost as tall as Jasper with long muscles that matched his athletic build. They looked like Prom king and Queen him standing beside her with his hand lightly resting on her shoulder, an easy smile on his face. Too bad they couldn't go to school like us really; it was too bad they hadn't adopted our "vegetarian" lifestyle. Ah, well. Too each their own- I thought. They were good friends and we could depend on them. Jasper reached his arm out and Peter shook it pulling Jasper into a bear hug that reminded me of something Emmett would do.
"Peter, it's been too long, so good to see you again! I wish it were under better circumstances. We need your help, our family... it's in trouble." The smile on Peter's face dissolved. He looked from me to Jasper.
"Your family is my family- Whatever you need. We will be there for you and yours." Charlotte nodded her head in agreement next to him. Not wanting to interrupt, I let Jasper tell them the details he could without revealing too much. By the time we made it to the front porch Charlotte was on her cell phone making flight arrangements. She clicked the phone shut and smiled at me warmly; I beamed back.
"You're awfully quiet Alice." She inquired, as the boys stood on the porch in hushed conversation.
"Well, Jazz wanted to tell you two the details, so it was hard, but -I didn't interrupt him once!" I was proud of myself for it. Jasper kept shooting glances my way nodding to himself. I was sure it was because he could tell how hard it was for me to keep my self quiet.
"Good for you, I am so happy you and Jasper found each other. You wouldn't believe the change in him since he has been with you. We would do anything for him. Oh, we got a flight in three hours; we need to get to the airport!" She darted past Peter into the house throwing a bag on a table and quickly filling it with their clothes. Within a few minutes they were setting off in their black Jeep Cherokee headed to the Airport. Peter shot Jasper a salute out the window and Jasper waved back.
"One down!" I patted Jasper on the back and he rolled his eyes.
"Now... How about that dance?"
