Author Notes: I started a prequel to this story called Divine Intervention. It is Alice's story after she leaves the asylum and before she finds Jasper. These can be read as separate stories. I would hope that you go and take a look at the story.

I am not at all happy with this chapter, but I had to find someway to incorporate the hunting of animals.

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or any of the characters from the books.

A New Beginning

We drove in silence for a few miles, before the thirst began to control my mind. I looked into the passenger mirror and my eyes were pitch black. I needed to feed and I needed to do it soon. I looked to Alice and noticed the amber color of her orbs. It was such a distinct color. When I wasn't thirsty my eyes were a blood red. Her eyes looked almost human.

I broke the silence. "I was curious about your eyes. I have never seen a vampire with amber eyes before."

She looked towards me and smiled. "My diet causes a change in color."

I cocked my head as I looked towards her. A different diet? But vampires needed blood to survive. There was no way she could live off of something else. Was there?

She laughed as if she could read my mind, or at least read my confusion. "I live off of the blood on animals."

Animals. I had never once considered hunting animals, it seemed so simple. It had to be easier than feeling the emotions of humans as I drained them. I could not bring myself to drink from another human. The pain was unbearable. But could animals be as fulfilling?

"You need to feed." I could feel her worry. Someone was worried about me. This was something I had net felt towards me, not since I became a vampire.

"I'll be fine." I shook my head. I could hold out a little longer. I hoped. She stopped the car at the side of the road. To the left was a vast forest. I could smell the pine trees and the dirt. I could hear the feet of the elk pounding across the land. My mouth began to water at the thought of the large animal.

"Your eyes are so dark. If you don't feed soon I sense something bad will happen." Her grasp on my hand tightened. "Please Jasper. Please come hunt with me." She stepped out of the car and closed the door. As she made her way over to the forest she glanced back at me once.

I sighed as I stepped out of the car, and joined Alice at the edge of the forest. I felt the relief rush over her as I gave in. We would feed. She smiled and took my hand once again as we took off into the woods.

"Welcome to the world of a vegetarian vampire." She giggled.
