Hello guys, it has been a couple of years since I have been active so I am not sure how many of you still have this story on your watch list. I have had a funny couple of years, including completely turning my back on the twilight franchise but I am willing to embrace it again as I love to write. I may not be Charles dickens but in my opinion if you love to read you can ignore the grammatical errors and the spelling mistakes and just read.

Love to you all, here is Chapter 14.

Alice POV.

I covered the distance between me and my home far faster than I had ever believed possible. The trees blurred and my hair and clothes streaked out behind me, the thought of Jasper drove me onward, not even bothering to wipe the insects from my face that were building up.

After feeding on a whole herd of deer I was fully satiated, the warm animal blood soothing the scorching pain in every inch of my body as I thrust myself onwards, faster and faster.

Soon my surroundings became more familiar, I was within a few minutes sprint of my home, the distance that had taken me days to cover previously had flit by in a handful of hours. I pulled back, slowing down to a mere jog, cautiously pressing forwards, wary of an attack. Pausing behind a tree I let my mind drift, letting my powers that I had pushed to the back of my mind seep back into my cells. I stood feeling the cool hard bark of the Oak between my fingers as a picture slowly built in my mind.

Standing waist deep in the river I watched the back door of my home, the only sounds that I could distinguish from the sounds of the forest were quick shallow breathes and the slow drip of blood onto a wooden floor. I took a deep breath and inhaled the sweet smell of blood, blood I recognised, Jasper's blood. He was hurt but I could not run to his rescue. The demon was here, Maria, the vampire that haunted Jaspers thoughts in his darkest hours, the thoughts I had to slowly soothe away to prevent Jasper turning back to his feral ways. The urge to run in and snap her into pieces was so strong, but so foolish. Such a seasoned warrior could take me down in an instant if I did not plan my attack properly. She knew I was here, she didn't need to listen for my non-existent heartbeat or my breath, she could sense when I was close.

I could not hear anything of Jasper except the slow dripping of his blood. This should have worried me but at this moment what worried me more was what he was thinking, was he intoxicated by Maria's powers and no longer loyal to me? Enraged that I had taken off and left him? Part of me wanted to flee again, run back to the corpse littered clearing and lay there alone for eternity. The rest of me was full of anger, Maria had to die, my usually nonviolent soul begged to rip and tear at her marble like flesh until she no longer poisoned the world. The anger dismissed the sinking feeling I had about Jasper no longer loving me. I longed to hear him utter the words that kept me alive but I knew that even if he no longer wanted to hold me close I had to kill Maria.

She was all that mattered right now; I would not rest until her body created a foul stench, masked by the thick purple smoke as it wound its way up to the clouds. I stepped out of the river.

Taking a deep breath I broke free of my vision and stepped forwards towards my home.

So guys, I hope there I still a few of you reading this, I hope you enjoy it and providing this does not take an age to upload I will be writing chapter 15 tonight. Good bye for now xxx
