Alice POV (If your squeamish, continue with caution, but it's not that bad P)

I had to be far enough away by now; I had been running non-stop for days, the miles flying away under my feet. How convenient that I never tired. If Edward had found my scent and searched for me he would have found me by now. I just hoped he had been to busy with Bella when I decided to run. Still I had thought idle thoughts, blocking out anything that would give him a clue to my departure.
It had been several days, or more, I had lost track of time as I fled from the future. There was a small cottage up ahead, completely uninhabited, desolate. The roof had fallen in long ago and nature had taken hold. Vines covered the broken windows and moss and lichen covered the roof tiles.

The only forms of life in the area were some field mice, scampering around under foot, unaware of the monster that stood above them. I had not fed since two weeks before I fled and I desperately needed nourishment. If I had looked in a mirror I would have seen coal black eyes, so blank. My throat set on fire, I needed blood. I could eat the mice underfoot, my instinct told me to, I was growing weaker with every step, and soon I would be too weak to run, to fight, to survive. My body and mind screamed at me to claw at the tiny warm bodies, to drink the small mouthfuls of blood in their fragile bodies. But I pushed the cravings with every ounce of strength I had left. I would not lower my standards to slaughtering mice. There had to be something bigger, something worth it. I let my senses roam, nothing, and all I could hear was the fluttering heartbeats of the mice, before I knew what was happening instinct took over. I dropped to my knees and snatched up a mouse. I broke its neck with a gentle flick of my index finger. My mouth reached ravenously for the miniature artery flowing from the poor animal's neck. I drained it in an instant and reached for another, and another, it made no difference. I killed every mouse I could find, but my thirst was not quenched, my throat was in tatters and I could not smother the flames. I needed blood, and I needed it now. I ran as fast as I could on the minimal strength left in my petite frame. I let my senses roam, wandering as far as they could. I listened for every rustle of leaves, every twig snapping, every breath in the hope I would find another form of life. But it was too late, I had exhausted my energy, not even my vampire body could cope with this long without blood.

I collapsed on the forest floor and lay there for countless hours; the sun rose and sank again before I heard another sound. Footsteps, something was close and coming closer at an alarming pace. A human came into sight and I held my breath and slammed my lids shut. He stopped and his eyes raked my body, he took a step forward and my self control faltered. He took another and another until he was close enough that a well aimed kick would have gone straight through his skull. His fragile, brittle skull. Filled with pointless thoughts. I could kick out and kill him instantly, then I would feel his warm blood spurting onto the floor, I would listen as his heartbeat faltered and stopped. I was so close to ending his life, but I hung onto my self control with the tips of my fingers. I didn't breathe, I didn't move. I opened my eye a fraction and watched him. Foolish human I thought, he does not have a clue how close he is to death. He reached out to brush my cheek. He flinched away and reached for my wrist, I laughed to myself, no pulse. I was dead to him. He dropped my wrist and sighed. He stepped over my cold body and ran back the wayI came. I lay there till I could no longer hear him or see him. I took a tentative breath, no scent. I breathed easy. My control had returned. But I was still too weak to move. I would not die, I was already dead, I could not move. I would be lying here till something, anything crossed my path.

A twig broke in the distance. I let my senses roam across the empty forest and picked up a heartbeat. I took a deep breath and smelt it. A deer was close, close enough to take down and drain before it could realise my presence. Well that was under normal circumstances. If only it was closer, I would take it down in milliseconds and drain it till only an empty corpse remained. Luck was with me today, luck came to the eternally dammed. It trotted over to my body; it sniffed my leg and cocked its ear. It moved closer to my face until its eyes where staring into mine. I saw fear in its eyes, it was about to flee so my arms shot up and wrapped around its fragile neck. A sickening crack and warm blood flowed over my white hands. Ravenous I plunged my teeth into its neck and drained every drop, I licked the blood off my hands and stood up. I saw my reflection in a pool of blood on the floor, my eyes were a mixture of black and amber, I sighed, I was still hungry. So I ran towards were the deer was and found a group of twenty or more, defiantly my lucky day.

I stood amongst the blood drained corpses. Thinking of Jasper, my Jasper, and suddenly uncontrollable dry sobs hit my body and I lay down on the blood soaked floor of the clearing. I wondered if the stranger had accomplished her goal yet, had she taken Jasper from me? The question that floated through my head brought more dry tears. then an unanswerable question hit me.
Did Jasper still love me?
With that I blacked out on the floor, my head lying in a pool of blood, utter silence in the forest.
