All eyes were focused on the pair as they quietly stepped inside the brick house. Golden clashed with red, blue, and brown eyes as everyone looked their visitor over. The room smelled of gingerbread, cinnamon, and blood. Jasper's eyebrows furrowed tightly as he tried to sort out why the smell of blood was in the room. It wasn't from any of the humans nor was it from the nearby terrier or the calico cat. Then he came back into reality as he felt a slight pressure on his right hand and looked over to see the blonde girl tugging him gently, closer, to the crowd.
"Little Lillie, where did you find such a strapping young lad?" A man, Jasper assumed that he was her father asked humorously.
"In the woods Papa, while Gabe, Garrison, and I were hunting," Lillie replied in an almost laughing manner. It was then that Jasper had noticed that the petite pale blonde haired girl beside him had two things no one else in the household had. The first being a hair color anywhere remotely close to being flaxen and second being topaz eyes.
"In the woods Little Lillie? Have I not told you to stay away from strangers?" Her mother reprimanded her mockingly with beautiful azure orbs. The smell of blood came back to Jasper's nose, as his eyes turned black. He went stiff and held his breath.
"I'm sorry Jasper I forgot that you're not used to that, I'm so sorry." Lillie repeated that over and over as she led him to a small room at the back of the house. It was painted in a light turquoise with dark olive vines decorated over it on one side of wall. Inside sat a cedar desk and matching bed. The chair sat against the opposite wall, ten or so books, atop it.
She sat him on the bed and pulled something out of the nearby closet. "Are you afraid of needles Jasper?" He shook his head in the form of a no and rolled his sleeve up to expose his muscular shoulder.
He felt her anxious tension and eased her back to her care-free persona. She glanced at him startled by her change in mood.
He smirked faintly as she cleaned off his lean arm with the cotton ball she had collected from the storage cabinet. The metal invaded his pale skin and injected an odd formula. In seconds his vision began to fade and he swayed back and forth from drowsiness. Soon his eyes had closed and Lillie rested him easily down on the cotton mattress were he ascended into a deep sleep.

Jasper looked around in confusion he was surrounded by people he had never met before.
"Jasper!" A fevered whisper passed through the crowd as they moved closer to him, "Jasper! Jasper! Jasper! Jasper! Jasper! Jasper! Jasper! Jasper! Jasper! Jasper! Jasper! Jasper! Jasper!" every whisper grew louder and louder and the group drew closer and closer.
"Jasper I love you," this wasn't the crowd it was Alice he knew that it was Alice. She stepped through the people to stand face to face with her living lover. Her hands were cold as she stroked his scarred face.
"Lillie can make you whole again, you can make her whole again, be with her." Alice smiled brightly as she hugged him.
"No! You exist still I can't leave you!" He desperately tried to grasp Alice.
"Wake up now Jasper, Consider what I said."
It all faded away as Jasper slowly came back into reality.

He snapped up waiting to hear her voice but he was in the same room he fell asleep in, no Alice, no anybody.
That's when Jasper realized something; that was the first time he had been asleep in 145 years…
