YAY Another chapter. This one is a bit different, it's not as much together stuff and a bit more vampirey stuff. I hope everyone likes it though! And I am going to continue this story, it will be about Alice and Jasper's journey finding themselves and the Cullen's (that sounds really cheesey) The chapters will stay about the same length (I know they're sort of short but if I make them really long I wont post regularly)

Anyway, I hope you enjoy this chapter and please review

Slipping Away

I looked at Alice, who was slowly stretching next to me. Even though we didn't sleep, we relaxed, read or just laid down, relishing in the feel of each other during the night and hunted, socialised or Alice's case, shopped, during the day.

We were hunting this morning. I loved watching Ali hunt; I guess it was the animal in me that loved watching her lose control, pounce on an unsuspecting animal and suck it dry. It was so thrilling watching her surrender herself to her senses.

I was watching her take down a wolf twice her size when the sweet aroma of blood hit my nose. Not animal blood, human blood. I was off and running before I could even register that it was wrong, that I was hunting the wrong thing.

I was a few seconds away from the sweet smelling human when I realised that Alice wasn't following. She wasn't even trying to stop me. Was she that sure that I was going to fail, that I would drink from this person? Didn't she believe in me? The realisation was like being thrown into a bucket of ice water. I stopped in my tracks and raced back to Alice.

I was devastated and angry. Why hadn't she followed me? I was thinking what I was going to say to her. What I was going to say when she saw I hadn't attacked the human. I could feel the control I kept on my emotions slipping away, my emotions slipping away.

The words I had planned to yell at her died in my throat when I saw her brilliant smile. I could barely describe the emotions that she was feeling. Joy, surprise, love and pride. She was proud of me. The ice was being replaced by warmth that spread all through me, making me feel the love and joy that she felt.

"I knew you could do it!" She yelled happily, before skipping over and standing on tip-toe to kiss me. Her warm lips were not on mine long enough and the burn were she kissed me overpowered the burn in my throat.

We pulled back and stared in each others eyes. I have always felt her emotions stronger than anyone else's and at this moment I felt them stronger than I felt my own. I pulled her into a hug and that's how we stayed until my thirst overpowered my desire for her and I grabbed her hand and pulled her along to hunt with me.
