I'm honestly amazed that people are reading this story and seem to like it! Thank you so much for those of you that reviewed. It means a lot! Once again, I own nothing. I don't own Twilight or the Tiger Army song titles.

Edward called a family meeting immediately as we walked in the door. Jasper must have felt our distress because he was by my side in an instant. I could feel him sending waves of calm through me. I welcomed the comfort and collapsed down on the couch pulling Jasper with me. I placed my head on his shoulder and put my hand on his chest. He kissed the top of my head and protectively wrapped me in his arms. I could have stayed there forever but we had a huge problem facing us. We waited for Carlisle to return home from the hospital. Rosalie and Emmett were sitting beside us on the couch. Esme was sitting in a chair and Edward stood. He seemed too wired to sit down. Carlisle walked in the door quickly and faced my family.

"What's going on?" He asked and stood behind his wife.

Edward and I took turns telling our family the events that took place. Jasper's grip on my arms became much tighter.

"Is he a werewolf?" Emmett asked.

"No." Edward shook his head. "Wolves can't do what he did."

"He just disappeared? In a puff of smoke? Like a magician?"

"Yes. Plus he said that I'll no longer have visions of him nor will Edward be able to read his thoughts." I turned to Carlisle. "What kind of creature can do that?"

"I'm not sure, though I intend to find out." Carlisle promised.

"What about school?" Jasper questioned. "I'm not letting this guy endanger Alice."

Edward glanced in our direction. "I won't let anything happen to her."

"You're not with her every moment of the day." Jasper sighed. "Plus he's in her first class. There's not telling what he'll do."

"He won't harm me in class." I said not sure whether I was trying to convince Jasper or myself.

"We don't know what he's capable of. I don't want you near him." Jasper's eyes burned deep within mine. It broke my heart to see that he was worried and upset over me.

I gave him a sad smile. "It's not like I can quit school. I have to be there."

"Carlisle can call the school and inform them that you're sick."

"Even if I stay out, he's going to find me." I knew that I was speaking the truth and from the expressions of my family's faces, they were aware as well.

"I suggest that we all be on our guard." Carlisle replied. "Until I can figure out exactly what Damon is and how to stop him, we stay together. Hunt in groups and be observant."

"What about Bella?" Esme asked. "Is she in any danger?"

Edward shook his head. "He never mentioned her. She's not one of us, so he's not concerned with her."

"She needs to stay away from us." I replied. "I don't want her getting hurt because we're her friends."

"She'll be fine."

Jasper stood up and very carefully picked me up in his arms. "I'm taking Alice upstairs. I think she's had enough for one night."

"Of course." Esme smiled.

It didn't take five seconds before Jasper had me on my bed. After making sure the door was closed, he joined me. I wrapped myself against his body and placed my head on his shoulder. My fingers began tracing circles along his chest.

"What are you thinking about?" I asked him.

"You." Jasper kissed my forehead. "Maybe we should leave."

"What if Damon attacks our family? We can't leave them alone."

"What happens when he hurts you and I'm not there to protect you?"

"I'm capable of taking care of myself." I told him.

"He's not human Alice. We don't know what he is."

"At least Bella's safe. I know Edward's relieved."

Jasper stared at me. "I wish I could say the same. I don't like the fact that this thing has his sights on you. I swear Alice, if he so much as touches you again, I will murder him."

I knew that Jasper was upset so I did the only thing I could think of to calm him down. I leaned over and kissed him. I straddled myself on top of him and poured out all the love I have for him. It didn't take long for him to respond to my touch. His arms snaked around me pulling me closer to him. One of the best things about being a vampire, you didn't have a need for oxygen, so I could continue kissing him passionately without having to stop. My hands ran along his chest and found their way under his shirt. Jasper pulled away long enough for me to remove the shirt. He attacked my lips once more and flipped us over so now he was on top of me.

"You're overdressed my love." He whispered.

I grinned into his kiss. "So are you." It didn't take long for our clothes to end up scattered on the floor. All coherent thought left my mind. The only thing that I focused on was the man in my arms.
