"The Cullens?" Jasper was confused. Alice just smirked at him.
"...Yes. They are vegetarians."
"They are what?"
"Vegetarians," she repeated slowly, enjoying Jasper's confusion. He had already figured out that she clearly had a mischievous side.
"Alice...why are we going to see some vegetarians?"
She burst out laughing then, holding her sides. Jasper just watched in amusement, still very confused. But he wanted to know more, he wanted to know all about the Cullens, so he waited patiently until Alice had stopped laughing. She danced her way over to a tree, leaning up against it.
"Well," she explained, "they're vegetarian vampires actually. They don't eat humans."
"They don't eat humans?" Jasper stared at her in shock. How could they be vampires and not eat humans? How on earth was that possible? He'd never heard of it before, but he was suddenly very curious. Maybe, just maybe, they could help him.
"They eat animals," Alice told him. She looked up into his perfect blue eyes, and Jasper could feel waves of happiness rolling from her, happiness and excitement. And longing. He could feel how much she wanted to find them. "There's a whole family of them Jasper! The head of the coven is Carlisle, he's amazing...he hasn't eaten a human in so long, and they actually live among humans, they live normal lives! Isn't that just...amazing?"
Jasper nodded, still sort of shocked. "So, we're going to find them?"
"Well...that's what my visions are telling me!" She danced around, tapping the side of her head cheekily. "I keep seeing us, knocking on their door and being invitied in...living with them. Just like one big happy family."
A happy family. Something that neither of them had. And something that they both wanted, very much. A sudden feeling of content spread through Jasper. For the first time in his existence as a Vampire, he felt hope. He had a purpose, a goal. And...he had Alice. They were going to find the Cullens. He glanced deeply into her sparkling brown eyes. He was determined to find them for Alice, for them, together.
Alice laughed at the expression on his face. She studied him again. Even though she had seen him so many times in her visions, he looked even more perfect now. Her eyes briefly flickered across the scars that stained his skin, but they didn't matter to her. However, she couldn't ignore the burning blackness in his eyes. He was clearly very thirsty.
"Jasper, when did you last feed?"
He winced at the word 'feed'. "Um...a week ago I think," he admitted softly. Alice tutted at him.
"Come on, we can't start travelling if you're still thirsty."
"No, Alice, we can..." Jasper muttered hurriedly. He had forgotten the burning thirst until she mentioned it. But even though he could feel it stinging uncomfortably in his throat, a part of him didn't want to feed.
"What's wrong?" she asked him innocently.
"Feeling the emotions of your prey kind of ruins the enjoyment of the meal." Jasper murmured dryly. She sighed and tugged his arm.
"Jasper, I know. That's why we're not going to hunt humans, silly!"
"We're not?"
"No. Today is the first day of our new...diet." He already knew what she was thinking. Animals. Boy, this was gonna feel weird. But Alice seemed to know what she was doing. She charged into the trees, twitching her nose as she sniffed. Jasper watched, hooked on her. Then, she suddenly vanished. He stayed where he was, wildly looking about for any sign of her. Before he could move an inch, a low dying shriek erupted from the shadows between the trees, not far away. Jasper froze.
"Alice?"
She stumbled out of the bush seconds later, a contented grin plastered on her face. Jasper came over warily to find her standing by the remains of a huge deer. She'd clearly sucked it dry. He sniffed; it certainly didn't smell very nice. But Alice seemed content, so with a shrug Jasper loped off into the bushes. He soon found the herd, and took the nearest one out with a quick snap of the neck. The blood wasn't as sweet, it tasted very dull compared to humans. But to his pleasant surprise, he didn't have to feel any of the horrible emotions that he usually did when he killed something. The only emotion he felt from the dying creature was a tinge of fear, and then it was over. And the blood satisfied his thirst slightly, although he could still feel a slight burn. He wiped his hands clean and found his way back to Alice.
"That was....weird." Jasper couldn't think of a better word.
"Yeah. It tasted a bit...dull."
"I thought so too."
"Well," she smiled cheerily, "I think this could really work, you know!"
Jasper laughed. He took her hand again, and tapped the side of her head with his finger.
"Oh please, you know it's going to work!"
---------------------------------------------
-several weeks later-
Travelling was tiring, even for Vampires. It was also very tricky, because Alice's visions frequently changed. One moment, she would see them in Mexico. The next moment, she'd seen them in Canada. But no matter how far it was, they went to whenever the vision showed them to be.
During all the running, the pair had a lot of time to talk. Alice soon told Jasper everything she knew about the Cullen family.
"Well like I said, the leader of the coven is Carlisle. He has a wife called Esme, and they act as the adopted parents of three vampire children called Rosalie, Emmett and Edward. Emmett is really strong, he's the newest, and Edward has a power too! He can read minds. And Rosalie's in love with Emmett, she's really pretty...."
"Not as pretty as you," Jasper muttered under his breath. Alice didn't seem to notice. She was too wrapped up in her speech.
"You're gonna get on great with Edward...but he's not going to start off in a good way with me because I'm going to steal his room of course..."
"You're going to steal his room?"
"It has the best view in the house!"
Jasper chuckled. "What about Emmett and Rosalie?"
"Well, you'll get on well with Emmett too. He'll always want to challenge you to things though, like wrestling matches. And Rosalie...well, you'll be okay. She's going to be your twin sister."
"My twin sister?"
Alice stopped so suddenly that Jasper didn't realize and kept on running for 100 yards or so. He skidded, and spun back round, running to her side.
"Alice?"She looked unusally embarrassed. He could feel it in her emotions.
"Alice, what's going on?"
"Well..." she avoided his gaze awkwardly, "there's a reason you have to be Rosalie's brother..."
"What's the reason?" he pressed gently. Alice sighed.
"We're sorta...gonna...get together."Jasper blinked. Alice kept talking.
"I saw us...together, Jasper. You have to be Rosalie's brother because we're a couple. Obviously you can't be my brother, otherwise that would be weird...you can't really date your own brother...sorry if it's weird, it's just what i saw...but i understand if you dont want to..." she trailed off, staring at the floor.
But Jasper wasn't listening. With a cheeky smile, he reached out and titled Alice's head back. He pressed his lips to hers, pulling her close. Somehow, he had found the thing that he didn't even know he was looking for. His soulmate. Alice. He didn't care about having a twin sister if it meant he could have Alice. In fact, he didn't care about anything else. Just Alice.
