Oh my goodness! I'm so amazed and so thankful that some of you have added this story to your favorite's list! Thank you!! Wow, I'm really honored! Again Twilight and the song titles from Tiger Army do not belong to me. Enjoy!
I was afraid. I had no idea where I was or what had just happened. I felt disoriented and alone. No, not alone considering Damon was still beside me. His hand was still clutched to mine. I pulled free from his grasp and took a good look at my surroundings. There were trees and grass but the colors were off somehow. It didn't feel right.
"Where are we?" I asked.
Damon smiled. "My home."
I turned to look at him. His blue eyes seemed much darker now. In fact, they no longer seemed blue but black.
"What are you?"
"I'm a demon. This is my world."
"You mean Hell? I'm in Hell?" Never thought I'd end up here. Not that I expected I would be allowed in Heaven either.
He actually laughed. "Not quite. I'm not the devil and there are many types of demons and many versions of the Otherworld. This one is mine."
I was beyond confused but I didn't have time to question him. He took my hand again and led me to a extravagantly designed Mansion. There was actually a garden and flowers in front.
"Um, flowers? Aren't demons supposed to be, well, demonic?"
"Of course. The flowers are poison to the touch." He brought me inside and everything about the house looked normal. There was furniture, books, and even a fireplace. We went into a room that resembled Carlisle's office. He pointed to the chair and I sat down. "Let's get to the business at hand, shall we? You and your family should not exist. We all know that. My job as a elite demon is to destroy your kind."
"You can drop your holier than thou act. You're a demon! At least my family doesn't hurt anyone! I can't say that about others of my kind but we're essentially good."
"You can sugar coat what you are all you wish, you're kind needs to be destroyed."
"What about demons? You destroy, murder, and ruin people's lives as well."
"Demons are supposed to be around. It's our job to create hell with humans. The evil ones must suffer with us."
"My family isn't evil."
"Your family has killed people. They've drank the blood of innocents. Carlisle has created some of you."
"Carlisle did what he thought was right! He would never bring this on to someone who he didn't think needed it. As for sucking human blood, we don't anymore!"
Damon's hand flashed faster than I thought possible smacking me on the face. The impact was deafening and it hurt. If I could bleed, I'm sure my face would be bloody.
"SILENCE!" He took a deep breath. "You are here to listen to me, not speak back. Do you understand?"
I nodded. I've never been up against a demon so I wasn't sure how to go about destroying one. I was pretty sure that tearing him apart and burning his body wouldn't work.
"Good. I said that I would give you a way to destroy me. I lied. I'm an immortal demon lord. I can't die."
My heart shattered at the thoughts of Jasper being correct. Damon lied and now I'm here away from my family. I have no knowledge of how to get home. I felt like crying.
"Why am I here?"
Damon smiled. "I like you Alice. No scratch that, I'm infatuated with you. Your gift of prophecy is amazing. One like you can actually be very perilous for my kind. My first instinct was to kill you right away. Then I realized that you would be very useful here."
"The answer is no." I said knowing where he was heading. "I'm not leaving my family."
He sighed. "Pity. Of course, I knew you would say that. No one usually wants to come willingly to the Otherworld. They have to be tempted. Threatened in your case."
"I don't care what you do to me. I will not help you."
"Who said I wanted to hurt you? No, see my dear Alice we demons know that you would much rather be a martyr than let someone you love be harmed."
Oh shit, he was talking about harming my family. My Jasper. "You're lying! You're a demon! Lying is a part of what you do. How do I know that you won't hurt them, if I surrendered?"
"You don't and that's the beauty of it."
"Take me home. NOW!" I demanded.
"You have three days to decide the fate of your family. You either become a part of my realm or you and your family shall die by my hands."
Before I could tell him where he could stick his threat, I was surrounded by smoke.
My eyes burned and once again I felt disoriented. I soon felt a familiar pair of arms around me. I let the arms hold me as I surrendered to the darkness.
"Alice! My love, it's okay. I'm right here." I heard my Jasper's voice whisper in my ear and I could feel his love wrapping around my body. I opened my eyes and saw his beautiful face. "Alice, are you okay?"
I nodded. "Yes, I think so." He helped me stand up. The rest of my family was standing there as well.
Carlisle approached me and gave me a once over. "You appear to be unharmed. Does anything hurt?"
"No, I'm just tired. Of course, I'm not quite sure why."
"I'm taking you home." Jasper picked me up and rushed us home. He set me on our bed and laid down beside me. "God Alice, I was so frightened. I didn't know if I'd see you again."
I placed my hand on his face. "I'm never going to leave you." I tried to express all the love I had for him. I pulled him to me and kissed him with all my passion. I needed to make sure he was really with me. That I was home, and in our room. Jasper's hands began roaming along my sides letting me know just how much he needed assurance that I too was there.
"I love you." He whispered kissing along my neck. "Don't ever do that to me again."
"I love you too." I wasn't sure how much time we'd have before my family decided to start asking questions, so I made the most of the time we had. I easily removed Jasper's shirt. I kissed down his scarred chest and played with the button of his jeans. Jasper grinned.
"Allow me." He pulled away only long enough to remove his jeans. He was soon on top of me quickly making short work of my clothes as well.
