READ AND REVIEW...:) OH, AND BACK TO JAZZ'S POV (I THINK I AM BETTER AT IT...)

DISCLAIMER: JUST FOR FUN

Jasper POV

Only a few hours later we were at the small Airport. We were surrounded by native's trying to sell us everything from jewelry and clothing to chicken's all hanging from the same umbrella like stick. A small man swung it around to flash a rather large bird in my face. I grimaced and jumped back. Alice giggled. We darted as unnoticeably as we could manage to the correct desk to get our paper tickets printed out.

"Oh… Jazz, we are going to run into some trouble but, I see that you will handle it wonderfully. So, I am ninety eight percent sure you should just go with your instincts on this." Alice spoke non chalantly as if her lack of details didn't matter.

"That helps so much dear." I eyed her suspiciously she always thought it was funny to give me cryptic details of the future. I had come to trust her instinctively even when she was playing with me.

As soon as we had the tickets in our hands three armed local police officers surrounded us and escorted us into a back room behind the ticket counter. I stiffened when one of them grabbed Alice's arm. She lithely pulled out of the man's grasp. I concentrated on Alice; she was feeling aggravated, no tension or worry coming off of her. The largest of the three men stood in front of me blocking my view of her.

"Business or pleasure?" His gruff ugly voice made me want to break his neck right then.

"Pleasure. Now, what do you want? We have a plane to catch." I kept my tone even, not wanting to give away the overwhelming urge I had to drain them all at that very moment.

"We stopped the plane; it is being searched this very moment for your checked luggage. Now, is there any thing you want to tell us son?" His thick accent was irritating me more and more by the second. I glanced around then at Alice; she was eyeing the other two men but her face broke into a smile when our eyes met.

"We don't have any checked luggage…Can we go now?" My words came out in a growl. The man to Alice's left was going to lose a hand or a head… if he got one inch closer.

He did.

Before I could stop myself I stepped around the larger human up to the one who was about to place his hand on Alice's waist. I quickly introduced his back to the wall. Hard. But, not too hard, just enough to show him who was really in charge here.

"Don't touch her." Those three words meant more than any I had ever spoken before. Her hand brushed my neck soft and cool. The two other males backed up. They were scared. I pushed the anger down, and then I pulled out of me- and flooded the room with happiness. Pulling from every hidden part of me; pushing the feelings out in a tidal wave. The other two men started laughing the third looked dazed and grinned at me as if we were best friends. Even though I had probably just given him back problems for life. Even Alice tried hiding a giggle. A large pudgy hand slapped me on the shoulder.

"You're good to go! You two won't be any trouble will you?" His hot breath was in my face, he was smiling broadly again, his big belly still shaking with laughter. It took everything I had to keep the mood flowing throughout the room.

"Nope we won't" I took Alice's hand in my own and we left the door open as we exited. Minutes later we boarded the plane and the engines roared to life.

"Oh Jazz! That was good for you! You didn't kill anyone and you made them happy! Well, besides throwing that guy into the wall you did great!" She was still giggly and it was infectious making me smile even though I wasn't too happy at all. But…maybe I was?

"He's lucky that's all I did."

Wind whipped at the plane. Turbulence plummeted the aircraft twenty feet at a time. Fear was emanating from every pore in my body and the worst part was I wasn't even scared of the plane crashing! I knew we would land safe and sound, Alice told me we would. I didn't like airplanes to begin with and the storm and turbulence were just making things worse. The air masks dropped from the vents above our heads. We ignored them; I pulled mine completely out of the ceiling and threw it to the floor. Alice was trying to concentrate on Kachiri and why she was so instrumental to the future. She rubbed her temples as other people were gasping in fear and some in tears from the tormenting flight. I closed my eyes and tried to take even steady breaths. Trying to calm down a plane of twenty or twenty five hysterical people is not so easy to do. I started to push the relaxed calm feeling out of me, letting it waft over the isle and out to the people seated across of us first. Then pushing the invisible wave I concentrated harder ebbing the fear and confusion filling the small plane with a composed, soothing feeling. It took me ten minutes and half the people in the plane were asleep the other talking in whispers to one another. Alice popped one eye open and cocked her head at me.

"Good job Jazz! That helps me too." Anything for Alice. Her fingers ran through my hair, she was my personal redeemer; taking away all my sins, my pain, and filling me with a hope for my existence. I leaned my head back into her hand. Squeezing my eyes shut tight to just feel her caress. The plane dropped again at least fifteen feet this time, some people laughed as their stomach's lifted and the free fall took over. But, just as quickly as it happened the planes weight seated us again; no gasps - no scream's - no fear. Exactly as Alice had said we landed in the Brazilian airport amidst cheers from the passengers. Alice tightened her grip on my hand as we debarked the plane. I heard a loudspeaker announce that all flights were canceled indefinitely until the Tropical Storm passed. There were whispers from the peoples standing by that it was being upgraded to a Hurricane. Great, like we need anymore obstacles right now. I thought.

"Ah, Jazz, come on! You want to hear why we need Kachiri so much don't you?" Alice was impatient pulling me forward quicker.

"You figured it out? I knew you would." She absolutely glowed under my complement.

"Of course I did! And, it is not something I even considered! Listen to this…"
