So okay. I know he didn't kiss me or anything, but frankly I don't have all that much self control. Some enormous passion takes ahold of me and I hungerly lunge forward, knocking Jasper on his back on the cot we are sitting and meet his lips with the force of a locamotive train. I cannot believe how soft they are. I can tell he is utterly startled by the sudden show of affection, but he quickly overcomes this and excitedly kisses me back.
Suddenly, fireworks. Every part of my body explodes with tingly warmth, I feel like I am flying. He runs his fingers through my hair eagerly, and eventually settles them at the small of my back., gripping the material of the sweater I am wearing with his rough, strong hands. All I can focus on is his beautiful face. I gently graze my fingers over his cheekbones, temples, eyelids; it's as if I am truly seeing him for the first time. Everywhere I touch leaves a warm, ruby shade of excitement and longing.
We pull apart, gasping for breath and bow our heads together, breathing heavily. We both open our eyes to gaze upon the other and his long, blond eyelashes tickle my face. We chuckle, sharing the moment of beauty. I am about to dive in for more when I am abruptly startled by loud screaming. Both of our heads jerk up and I swiftly pounce off of the cot, limp to the flap of the door and pull it back, exposing a fiery scene of dead bodies and crying women. The village is under attack.
"Jasper..?" My voice cracks with fear. Little do I know he is behind me, struggling to gather items into a coarse sack I hadn't noticed before.
"We have to go!" He yells as he throws the sack over his shoulder and nudges me towards the door. My body is paralyzed with horror of the scene happening before me. I stiffly, but hurredly run-skip-stumble out of the tent and look around me for a means of escape. Jasper is one step ahead of me. He has grabbed a horse and used the strings from the sack to create makeshift reins. He motions me over, and once I arrive to the spot, he looks into my eyes with desperation and whispers in my ear.
I am unable to hear what he says for all the screaming drownd out his words. We are being quickly surrounded with flames and I know there is little time left before we join the dead and burning horrors, so I pretend like I understand.
Despite an injured shoulder, Jasper swings me on top of the horse and struggles to find a foothold to join me. The horse is startled by the commotion and is jolting around. The fire is closing in.
I reach out my hand for assistance, and he gratefully accepts it. He swings his leg over and urges the horse into action in the nick of time and we are off into the dark of night.
I laugh despite the dire situation and look over my shoulder to congradulate Jasper on our magnificent luck when I notice something is wrong.
"Jasper! YOUR LEG IS ON FIRE!" And with this, I feel the sensation of falling and hitting my head on something hard. My world goes black.
"Alice? Alice? A-A-ALLICE!" My eyes flutter open to reveal a desprately sobbing Jasper, shaking me and clearly suffering. I jerk up, and see stars. Wobbling, I try to sit up but fall back. Thankfullly, Jasper catches me in his strong, warm arms.
He cradles me, lowering my head slowly onto his lap. I look up to his face and reach up to wipe his cheek of tears, and he holds it to his face, closing his eyes with pleasure. A small sigh of content escapes his lips. I smile, not knowing where we are, what will happen, or even if we are entirely safe, but knowing that love will keep us both alive for as long as necessary.
