"Words cannot express how I felt tonight. Basically, I was pretty much beyond repair."

Depressing thoughts clouded my head as I trudged towards an old group of shops. My senses weren't alert and my burning thirst for once did not get the better of me. I was good at controlling other people's emotion, but not my own and I felt the urge to lash out and destroy everything within seeing distance. I could feel every emotion around me, and it was all hate. This was because I had made it so. The world was angry and so was I.

An old diner seemed fit to my needs as I entered. The rush of feelings gave me emotional whiplash and almost through me back outside. Everyone else was too absorbed in their own conversations to notice me – a pale, depressed figure, though I tried to stay inconspicuous, just in case. A number of waiters rushed to and fro, taking orders and serving meals and a few children sat by the fire, hugging their blankets and chattering loudly. This place looked friendly, like everyone in here was happy to be together, sheltering from the cold.

I turned away and faced the counter. It took me only a second to notice a beautiful figure sitting patiently on a barstool. She had spiky black hair and a brown fur coat in her arms. She seemed absorbed in her thoughts, as her face showed signs that her mind was far away. Though suddenly, her head snapped around looked straight at me. With sudden movement she hopped off the stool and skipped gracefully towards me, her beautiful eyes softly looking into mine.

Should I attack? Who was she?

Wait, she was smiling.

Suddenly, I felt a million emotions all at once. Though mostly love and adoration. It was overwhelming. I knew, as soon as I saw her, that she was the one, the one that I have been searching for, but not knowing it.

With a voice like ringing bells she said, "You've kept me waiting a long time". (Eclipse reference)

I was absolutely shocked and almost collapsed, but composed myself, bowed my head and answered, "I'm sorry, ma'am". (Eclipse ref)

She grabbed my hand and her touch made me happy and hopeful, like never before.

"Let's go", she whispered and pulled me towards the door. "I know just the place where we can go and the person we should see. We will be there soon. By the way, my name is Alice, Jasper".

I stared at her as we approached a large, beautiful house.
