New Moves and Old Friends

EPOV

When he was gone we looked back at Jasper, who was mulling over his thoughts, plans, his past… that was never a pretty subject to listen in on. His mind was unfocussed and random, almost as if he was insanely thirsty. Rose piped up. "So there's a new Vampire in town, this hasn't been our territory in over 80 years and we haven't heard any news of deaths or accidents so what's the point in worrying." "The point is" Jasper retorted "we don't know if he's a spy for Aro or a Nomad or a random killer, we know nothing, that's the point in worrying Rose" his last words spat out in anger. Alice rubbed his arm and whispered into his ear "shhhhhh it's ok Cowboy, we'll know soon".

I immediately regretted how I'd spoken to Rose but I'd apologise later, right now I needed to know who or what this 'man' was. I stood and strode out of the Cafeteria after him, followed by Emmett and Alice. We were walking quicker then a human would at this time so we slowed our pace trying to locate him. Then as if a sat nav was going off in my head I caught his scent and veered right down a lone hallway, darkness surrounded it as if all the lights had been turned out. I kept walking. Then he was there, staring with intent eyes, straight at me, I stopped dead and immediately crouched ready if he attacked…but he didn't, he just stood there, staring at me.

When Alice and I caught up with Jasper he was crouched in case of attack which alerted us to the new vampires scent and where he stood, he was just staring at Jasper, I went and stood behind Jasper, flanking his right side and in a more muscular crouch to show my size. This new vampire didn't flinch, in fact I could have sworn I heard him chuckle…

This was pointless, the boys would see this soon enough, with all the information running through my mind, all the pictures, all the faces, all the memories it was difficult to focus but I summoned the energy to push them all away and just focus on this mystery man.

I started walking…closer…closer…closer to this man, now with the clear image in my mind and the name to utter, for the sake of Jasper I had to do this, to brush with death…as I stood mere feet from him he stood straight and took my outstretched hand "Alice" I said as politely as I could.

"David Whitlock Ma'am"

JPOV

"No" was all I could utter…
