I'm putting this chapter up again, because I made some mistakes last time I uploaded it :)
Sorry guys! Hahaa.
Anyway, please review. THANKYOU so much for all the reviews on Chapter Six, honestly, it means alot!

Dedicated again to Miles (cullensdazzleme), because she's amazing and she's given me some great ideas for this!

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

"Now...about the Cullens..."

Alice and Jasper listened closely as Alex stepped forward.

"I presume you are talking about Carlisle and his coven?" He asked, delicately.

Alice squeaked. "Yes, that's them!" she replied eagerly. Alex nodded.

"We have met them," he confirmed, looking slightly too proud of himself. "They are a very...interesting group, I must say. They took us by surprise."

"How so?" Jasper asked, curiously.

"Well...they are certainly very different. Are you aware of their...'diet'?"

Alice nodded her head. "Yes. That's part of the reason that we are looking for them."

This shocked Alex. He stared at the couple for a moment, as if he was trying to put it altogether in his head, as though it didn't make sense.

"You...you want to be like them?" He asked, trying to make it sound like a simply polite inquiry. But both Alice and Jasper could tell what he really thought. His uncomfortable shudder gave him away instantly. Clearly, he didn't approve of the Cullen's chosen 'diet'.

Alice looked up at Jasper before replying, and he nodded. "Yes," she stated firmly. "We're hoping to join their coven, actually."

Again, Alex looked shocked. There was an awkward pause, before he regained himself and spoke again.

"Why...are you lonely?" The comment was patronising in every way.

Jasper frowned. "Why would she be lonely?" He asked, a little sharply. Alex raised his eyebrows. Jasper tightened his hold around Alice's waist.

"Oh..." the blonde vampire smiled, at Alice of course, "I just presumed that it must get a little lonely, travelling just the two of you..." he trailed off when his eyes met Jasper's furious expression. Alice glanced worriedly between the two of them.

"No, no...just me and Jazz is fine," she said hastily, nudging Jasper softly in the ribs, "It's just how I like it," she added. He relaxed slighted beside her, although not taking his eyes off his blonde opponent for a second.

"I see." That was all Alex could say in reply. He inclined his head slightly towards Alice. "So, you wouldn't want to join our group then?"

Alice let out a long sigh. "I'm afraid not Alex." She lowered her voice slightly, and closed her eyes, sounding very tired. "Actually, your group is going to end shortly. You're all going to run into a huge pack of very angry werewolves in Tennessee, and unfortunately, Angela is going to lose her life. Then, Gareth will leave you because Angela is the only reason he's here anyway. And..." she paused, rubbing her temple, "Ooh! Looks like one werewolf is a little more than just determined to get his paws on you. Ouch!" she winced.

Alex gulped, his eyes suddenly very wide. "Um...excuse me?"

Alice pulled a very strange face and closed her eyes. Jasper answered for her.

"She's a physic." He was trying very hard not to laugh as Alice continued making strange 'ouch' sounds next to him. Alex's eyes almost popped out of his head.

"She's a what?!"

"She can see the future."

It was very hard not to laugh at the expressions on their faces as they stared at Alice. Angela looked terrified about her death sentence, her mouth was a perfect 'O' shape, and she was glancing around warily. Gareth just looked extremely uncomfortable. And Alex looked like the Volturi were about to run in and murder him at any second.

With a loud sigh, Alice clapped her hands loudly, grinning and breaking the tense moment. "Oh! Alex, do you possibly have any idea where the Cullen family are right now?"

"I...um...I don't know. Last I heard, they were in Canada."

"Canada?"

"Yes, but...they're not there anymore. I-I heard that they had moved." His voice faltered slightly, much to Jasper's amusement.

"...and do you know where they moved to?"

Alex shook his head. "I'm afraid not."

"Well," Alice sighed again. "It's been very nice meeting you, but I'm afraid myself and Jasper have to go and run to Canada now. See you again sometime?"

"...Of course."

Alice grabbed Jasper's hand, pulling him away from the trio. As she ran, she called over her shoulder. "Good luck with the werewolves!"

------------------------------------------------------

They ran solidly for about three hours, not talking, just enjoying each other's company, concentrating on the rhythm of their feet on the floor, running in unison. The surroundings went by like a blur, and slowly the dark sky lightened. By the time they came out of the trees, the first rays of sun were coming up from the horizon. Jasper stopped, taking Alice's hand.

"Alice...maybe we should stop for now, and start running tonight. Someone might see us."

"Yes, I guess so..." she sighed unwillingly, sitting down on the grass and closing her eyes. Jasper sat down with her.

"You know, I hate Alex."

Beside him, Alice laughed quietly. "I know. And I think he knew that too," she teased.

"I feel abit sorry for him though..."

"Why?" She poked his arm softly.

"Well...you know, the werewolves. What did the vision look like?" She laughed then, very loudly. It was like music, so beautiful. Jasper grinned.

"What's so funny now?"

"Oh, come on Jazz! I didn't really see him getting mauled by a werewolf!"

"You lied?!"

She shrugged. "He was annoying me."

"Alice, Angela thinks she's going to die now. And Alex thinks he's going to get eaten! Oh, but I think you were right about Gareth. He looked very uncomfortable."

She smiled. "Jasper, I'm always right."

--------------------------------------------------------

Canada was a long way to run, even at Vampire speed. After a week of almost continuious running, they were only halfway there and Alice was complaining.

"Jazz, please?"

"Alice, no. We can't go shopping! This is not the time for that!"

"But, I've been wearing the same outfit practically all week!"

"Yes, and it looks beautiful on you!"

She paused and beamed at him, momentarily sidetracked. But, not for long.

"Well...can't I just go? You can stay out here!"

Jasper sighed. "Alice, we don't have time!"

She huffed, folding her arms. "Jasper, I don't take that long to shop," she reminded him. "I can get an outfit in minutes."

"Alice, no..."

Jasper knew he was going to lose this fight the second she pulled herself into his arms. Those puppy dog eyes were so damn persuasive! She looked up at him, pouting slightly with her bottom lip, batting her eyelashes like a little girl.

"Jazzy..."

"Alice..."

"Shh," She kissed him softly. "Please?"

"...But..."

"For me?"

That had done it. What wouldn't Jasper do for Alice? He sighed, defeated.

"I'm only giving you an hour in that shop, understand?" He tried to sound firm, but he couldn't. Not when Alice was screaming with joy and dancing around in circles.

"JAZZY! Oh, thank you, thank you!" She kissed him again, laughing. He sighed, but smiled.

"Anything for you, Alice."

They were in the middle of nowhere, but Alice insisted she could smell a designer store anywhere. She lead the way, talking nonstop about her of her favourite fashion icons and styles, and even though Jasper didn't have any idea what she was talking about, it was still nice to walk alongside her and listen to her babbling on. Her eyes lit up in such an amusing way whenever she talked about shoes.

The town that Alice found was pretty small, but there were ALOT of shops. As they entered, Jasper immediately regretted not hunting on the way here. He had been too engrossed in Alice's description of her perfect prom dress. But, as they walked between the buildings, thousands of rich, human smells hit him powerfully. Quickly, he held his breath, concentrating on Alice's words.

"Look, Jazzy!" She squealed, pointing at a large shop that stood out from all the rest. "I'm going in there, you coming?" She tugged his hand.

Jasper paused. All those humans in there...ooh. His insides twisted painfully.

"Actually, I think I'll wait out here..." he replied, uneasily. He saw the disappointment in her face. "I want to be surprised by your outfit!"

Her smile came back. "Okay! I'll be back soon, you'll wait here, right?"

"Of course."She was gone in seconds, lost in her own little world. And Jasper was left alone in the street, still holding his breath.

The multitude of smells was getting worse and worse by the second. The dull burn in his throat had risen to an aching, throbbing heat that threatened to take him over at any second. Dizzily, he stumbled to an alleyway nearby, turning away from the street behind him.

Those smells! They were so...tempting. Some were rich and strong, others were floral and sweet...but all of them were pulling his senses in a direction he desperately did not want to go. He had tried to hard these past few months, to put off ever having to be a murderer again. When he was with Alice, it was all worth it. She was always so proud of him, always so happy to see him surviving off the animal blood like she did. It gave her hope that they would fit in better with the Cullens.

But, Jasper wasn't with Alice now. And suddenly, the smells that circled him seemed so much more worth it.

No, he thought, angry at himself, NO! You've worked so hard, you can't let go now. Think about Alice, think about how proud she is. Think about what she would say if you ever...

He lost his train of thought as the wind changed.

One woman had picked the wrong time to walk past the alleyway that he was stood in.
