Chapter 3

Jasper walked into his house and slammed the door shut behind him.

'That must be Mary's recantation of herself. It explains why Alice looks exactly like Mary. But why has she appeared after 300 years of her death?'

Jasper was jolted out of his thoughts when there was a sudden knock on his door.

He turned and opened the door and widened his eyes when he saw who was standing outside.

He had long black spiky hair, pale white skin and frightening yellow eyes.

"James." He growled.

James smiled. "Hello Jasper it's good to see you again after all these years."

"What are you doing here James?"

"Just visiting an old friend."

"We aren't friends."

"Are you still mad about what happened 300 hundred years ago? You have to get over it Jasper. That was all in the past."

"I can't get over it." Jasper said. "You killed the girl I loved."

"Well that wasn't my fault." James said. "I didn't mean for Mary to get killed."

"But she's still dead and you are leaving."

He was just about to close the door in James's face when he said. "I saw the girl you were talking to today. She's very pretty and she seems very familiar."

Jasper growled again. "Don't you dare hurt Alice."

"Alice is that her name."

Jasper grabbed hold of the collar of James's shirt. "Leave her alone. She's just a human. She has nothing to do with all this."

"Ah but that's where your wrong Jasper." James replied. "I believe that Alice has everything to do between you and me. Why else would she be reincarnated from the flesh and bones of Mary? I believe that she's here for a reason. Usually that's what happens when you've been reincarnated from someone from your past life. She properly has unfinished business and I'm very interested to see what that is."

"I won't let you touch her."

James smiled. "You're going to make it more fun for me then. Good bye old friend." He said as he ran away.

Jasper closed the door when James ran away.

'I have to protect Alice from James. I won't let him hurt her. I hope that she's at the graveyard tomorrow.'
