Jasper's Point of View

"I'm Jasper Whitlock." I told her.

She then looked at me curiously and smiled.

"I know who you are." She stated as if it was the most obvious thing in the world. The emotions emanating from her was pure bliss. She was happy because of me. I couldn't fathom what I had done to deserve this moment. Even if the rest of my life would be spent in agony, I would always have this moment where, I can say with absolutely no doubts, I met the woman who would change my life forever. Had I met her before?

At that moment I realized I was too absorbed in my own thoughts to question what she meant. My eyes never left her exquisite face, she was staring at me just as intently. How could she possibly know who I am? Did I want her to know my past? Has it caught up to me?

I was just about to open my mouth, but she brought a finger up to my lips and leaned in. If it was possible, I felt almost breathless. What was she doing to me? I felt like a teenage boy again- that is if I could remember what those days were like. She put her lips to my ear and whispered "I'd like to explain on the way, I think we're causing a certain..." She didn't finish her sentence but she seemed to show me by letting her gaze drop and looking around the diner. Indeed, there were people looking; curiosity winning the majority. I nodded and let her lead the way out.

"We're going to have to walk a little ways before we have access to a car, as mine isn't very close." She gave me a reassuring look as if I would not trust her. To be honest I didn't really care where she was taking me as long as I could spend more time with Alice it didn't matter to me. It was amusing that I was trained by Maria to be indifferent and teach newborns not to care and be robotic yet the moment she walks into my life, all my guards are down and everything I had ever valued as defining me goes out the window. Was it strange that I already did trust her?

Curiosity taking over me, I decided to ask anyway.

"Where are we heading exactly?"

Not bothering to slow down or stop walking she continued at her pace while I tagged along at her side to listen.

"You see Jasper; I'm like you in more ways than one. You're special and so you can understand and have control of others' emotions, whereas I have an ability of my own. I can see the future and although it's not always set in stone, most of the time I can predict what will happen. That's how I saw you."

She paused, pursing her lips as if she was thinking about how to phrase what she was going to say. I didn't realize there were many others that had gifts like I did. I felt relieved that I found someone; well actually she found me; that was so kind and understood what I went through. I wasn't alone. She was feeling something close to relief as well.

"One day, I saw your future and mine connecting. This might be strange for you to understand now but we were destined to meet. We're destin-" She didn't finish what she was going to say but I knew. I didn't exactly understand, but I felt it. Everything feels right; her and me, and whatever future she had in store for us.

"We are heading somewhere that's going to be good for us. It's going to change our lives. I saw us arriving and it's where we're going to belong. There's a coven, a family of five. They have incredibly big hearts and they are unique like no others you've met. Their diet consists of animal blood unlike the human blood we are built for. They're going to help us. We're going to have a family and for once feel loved. I'm sure about this."

I knew nearing the end she was referring to herself but I realized it applied to me as well. I can't remember much from before and I've been struggling with myself to stop killing humans. I grimaced. And she saw it. She stopped abruptly and took my hand and brought both of hers around it. She brought it to her lips and kissed it. It was barely anything but to me, it was everything. Just from that one gesture I felt like I could see myself spending the rest of my life with her.

"Everything's going to be alright." She stated simply.

And after that we were silent the rest of the way. It was as if she knew I needed the time to let this sink in. There was a surprising comfort in being able to be completely silent with someone. I was could just relish in the company without having the need to fill in the space.

After a couple of hours, we reached a convenience store. She had a small black car parked outside of it. She gestured for my to get in and off we went to the direction of our new family. She was a steady driver and we continued in our silence. I realized she must've been taking the longer route because instead of going out to the main road, she continued driving through towns similar to the ones we've passed. I didn't mind it, because it was silent and as the roads were very barren, Alice could drive as fast as she wanted. She seemed to enjoy driving at a very fast pace.

I kept on looking at her as she was driving; I loved how quiet she was, she seemed to understand that I wasn't very good at making conversation. I hoped she couldn't see me staring like some psychopath but I couldn't help myself. I was entranced. The way her small nose pointed and her lips pursed in concentration was enough that I couldn't tear my eyes away.

She caught me looking at one point and grinned at me. I was caught but I didn't care. I felt myself smiling back and feeling a bit brazen, I took her hand. It was as soft as I remembered from before and it fit perfectly. I didn't let go and for rest of the ride there we just let our intertwined hands rest in between the seats. It was perfect.

We drove all night, and a trip that may of taken a few days for those who needed sleep was accomplished within one. Soon Alice told me we where nearing our destination. My grip on her hand tightened as mixed emotions of anxiety and excitement crawled up into my stomach as we finally reached a large and beautiful house in a very secluded area of a small town. The house was absolutely stunning, it was contrasting the natural forest setting as it was very modern, and it looked like a piece of artwork.

As soon as she stopped the engine, I jumped out of the car and hurried to open her door for her. She giggled happily and took my hand once again. Together we walked up to the large house and the doors soon opened.

There stood three others- an older male and female, both with kind smiles on their faces. The male had blonde hair and his partner had brown hair that went past her shoulders and behind them stood a younger blonde female that seemed close to our age with a curious look on her face. They were certainly quite a picture to take in but it wasn't because of their inhuman beauty but rather of their golden topaz eyes. They weren't red. I realized that unless they had Alice's abilities, they must be wondering why we were showing up on their doorstep. And what we wanted from them.

Alice started talking right away.

"Oh! Your eyes are just like the way I saw them. You must be Carlisle, Esme, and Rosalie Cullen!" She went right up to them and hugged all three of them. They had confused and surprised looks but Carlisle and Esme accepted the hugs warmly while Rosalie stiffened but also allowed it.

"I'm Alice and this is Jasper. I saw the wonderful way your family lives on animal blood. Jasper and I came to find you because I would also like to adapt your lifestyle. Honestly we don't like killing others to satisfy our thirst and I just really admire how you have adapted. If it's okay we'd like to stay with you for the time being. Oh, where are your two other sons, Emmett and Edward?" Alice seemed so at ease when she talked, as if they weren't strangers we had practically met a couple of minutes ago.

Esme stepped forward and heartily replied "We'd love it if the two you would join us. There's always room in our family. Thank you for understanding why we have changed our diets, not many others agree. Emmett and Edward are away on a hunting trip. They'll be back later tonight actually."

Alice was winning them over easily and I figured I should say something soon before I made the wrong impression.

"Thank you, Esme, Carlisle and Rosalie. I've been struggling a lot lately, and I'd love to overcome all of this." They just smiled warmly at me and made me feel secure.

"So which room gets to be mine?" Alice asked happily before they could respond back to me. Obviously, she was very excited. Esme smiled at her but Carlisle answered.

"Oh, please be free to take whatever rooms you both want. We have plenty of excess rooms in our house."

"Thank you so much. Come on, Jasper!" and with that she dragged me up the stairs in a hurry while hearing the chuckles of the Cullens echoing in the foyer.

I'm saving the get to know the Cullens including Edward and Emmett for the next chapter! :)
