"Are you hurt?" He repeated, crouching next to the entrance of my cubby hole.

"No, I just, I don't know." I said hugging my legs to my chest.

"Well, I'm Jasper Hale. You?" He asked politely.

"I'm Alice Brandon. Are you new here?" I asked him, trying to seem like I didn't know him.

"Yes, My Dad is a doctor, he was asked to work at the new hospital in town."

"Cool, so how did you find this here?"

" I moved into the old house back there, and I wanted to see what's around."

"Oh, ok." I said.

"So how old are you?" he asked.

"16, but I'll be 17 in about a month." I replied.

"I'm 17." He said.

Then there was a long silence between us.

"So what do you like to do?" He asked.

"Um, well, I like to shop, and I like clothes." I told him the semi-lie. It was true that I LOVED shopping when I was little, especially when we went to pick out costumes for my recitals, or for Cynthia's programs.

"I know that this sounds dorky, but I like Civil War things." He said.

"That's cool." I said.

"So what school do u go to?" he asks me.

"Rowland High." I said.

"I'm starting there tomorrow, with my brothers and sisters."

"How many brothers and sisters do you have?"

"Um, I kind of have only one, by blood, by adoption I have three others.

Carlisle Hale, my "Dad" is actually my uncle, me and my sister Rosalie were orphaned in a car crash at the age of 13. He took us and adopted us since we had no Grandparents, or any other people to go to. He was already married to Esme, my adopted mother, or aunt, they had already adopted Edward Cullen, my adopted brother. Edward's parents were killed by cancer, and he almost died from it too, but Carlisle saved him and adopted him to. So by the time he was 25 he already had 3 teenage kids. Then a year later he adopted Bella and Emmett McCarty, my adopted Sister and other Brother. So in all there are 5 teens, Me and Edward are 17 and Bella is 16 and Rosalie and Emmett are 18." he finished his history.

"So, um, Bella is a sophomore, you and Edward are juniors, and Rosalie and Emmett are seniors. Am I correct?" I sated.

"Almost" He said with a chuckle, "Bella is also a Junior, her birthday is next month, so what grade are you in?" He asked me.

"Junior. My birthday's in a month too." I told him.

"Cool, then I'll know someone."

"You seem pretty open with strangers, don't you?" I asked.

"No, not usually" He let out a sigh "I know that this is going to sound kind of bizarre, but I feel different around you. Like I know that I can trust you."

"I feel the same way." I sighed, Even though I knew more than what I felt, I SAW it.

"It's getting dark, I better go." I said crawling out of my dry spot and standing up. Jasper stood up also, and I looked up to see him towering over me, it's not that he's extremely tall, it's just that I'm really short. When I say really short I mean that I'm 4'11.

"So I guess that I'll see you tomorrow" He said with that same heart breaking smile.

"Yeah, Bye." I said as I walked away. As I was walking away I felt the sense of protection, and comfort leave me. It was like I was walking away from home, and never coming back. I felt more cold, and confused, and hurt since when I left, running away from that, except I couldn't cry, it wasn't that sorrow hurt. It was a more deep hurt, something that I couldn't explain.

When I walked in, the dishes were in the sink, but all of the food was put up. That was a good sign. Cynthia was gone of course. I washed the dishes and went upstairs to do my homework. My house is large, it has 4 bedrooms, 4 and a ½ bathrooms, and a fairly large kitchen, dining room, and living room, combo. It also has a basement, that is where my and Cynthia's playroom was, and my studio room, and her music room were. When dad left I stopped dancing and she stopped playing. When you live in a big house that's empty, it's really worst than living in a tiny one that's overcrowded, because it's a constant reminder that your alone. When I was doing my homework I just thought about Jasper. How he looked, how he talked, how he smelled, he was perfect. Then it hit me.

"Do you mind if we sit here" Jasper asked politely pointing to mine and Abby's empty table.

Then I flashed out. This was starting to get really strange, I've had 4 or 5 visions today, that is more than I've had in some weeks, and they have never been SO detailed, like I knew who I was talking to, but I couldn't know times, or places or sometimes even backgrounds. I just knew that they may happen.

I went to bed early that night, waiting to find what awaits me the next day.
