While it most cases, the rain wouldn't bother me too much, I still wasn't quite sure where I was going with my new found freedom. There were many shops and small places I could go, and there were people everywhere. Perhaps too many people, since taking any would be too obvious. Best not upset the Volturi when they're so close by.

I skimmed over many of the people and businesses, looking for a place to sit and get dry. I can't say what set it aside, but there was a small little diner illuminated with bright lights. Something, perhaps the colors, attracted me in. I went inside and found a seat in a back corner with windows on both the walls. I sat in there, facing the people. There were a few families, some couples, but the place was more than half empty.

In one booth on the very end was a woman. She wasn't a woman, she was still a teenager, but I knew instantly she'd never be a woman. Her pulse, or lack there of, told me she was a vampire and wouldn't ever age. She was pretty. She wore a short pink dress that I had seen was the new style of American youth on my way through these last few nights. Her hair was braided and it made it's way down her back like it had just been growing for years. She'd look better with short hair, like a lot of the girls of this decade.

She looked away from the window and straight into my eyes. She was so beautiful, I couldn't look away even if I wanted to. I knew Vampire women were lovely, but she stood out among all the others.

She stood up, and even though I and every vampire I've have ever met had super natural grace, but she was so much lighter and not a wind stirred as she walked. She slid in the coushin across from me.

"I'm Alice. You're coming with me." She sung. I was taken back a bit by her forwardness

"How do you know that, miss?" I asked once I had gain my composure again.

"Because, I've seen it. We're going." She grabbed my hand and began leading me out. It was something to do, some place to go.

That was him; the boy from my vision. There was no need for causalities, I already knew him. Best get things on the road. I walked up to him and watched his eyes follow me. He was curious

I sat down across the linoleum table from him. "I'm Alice. You're coming with me."

He blinked and tilted back slightly. "How do you know that, miss?" He was the old fashioned sort, for sure.

"Because, I've seen it. We're going." I took his hand and began to pull him lightly out of the diner. He wanted to go so once we got through the door I didn't have to use any force at all.

"I'm Jasper, by the way."

"That's good. I never got a name from my vision." We half walked half ran, at human speed, out of town.

At around dawn we had reached the river. I think he was getting impatient. "Where are we going, exactly?" He aske,d confrming my suspicions.

"To find someone." I turned around, lookinf for a building or something that woud make a good hiding place.

"Who?"

"Another man from my vision." Really? Does it matter? The point is, I saw it, so that's what will happen.

"Why?"

"I'm not sure, but it has to happen." I looked back at him. "We're going to be together. That also has to happen." That much I knew. He must know it, too. He thought I was as magical to him as he was to me. He must or else he wouldn't have come with. "I love you. I sure that sounds weird to you, but I do." I took a step towards him.

"That doesn't sound weird at all. The nature of our kind is that we fall in love at first sight." He also stepped towards me.

"I see. Do you love me, too?" I could ask about "our kind" later. Right now, our bodies were touching.

He put his arms around me before he responded. "Yes, I love you, too." He leaned in and kissed me.
