Chapter 8: Sweet Dreams Aren't Made of These
Stupid Jasper, I thought miserably as I felt my eyes grow heavy. If he was supposed to be tied down to Alice, then why was he looking in my direction? Did he just see me as a weakling that could be seduced into his trap? My mind wrestled viciously as sleep weighted me down.
Before my eyes, I saw myself standing on an unfamiliar beach. The sound of a twig snapping behind me made me turn around sharply. There, I saw Jasper, poised over a deer's dying form, his head bent down and over the beast. Traces of blood trickled down the beast's legs and I cringed, slightly nauseous. Even from a distance, I could hear him slurping up the dead deer's blood quickly and thirstily. Sickened by the carnage, I turned to leave the scene only to have him standing right in front of me.
As he licked away the lingering drops of blood from the corners of his lips, his green eyes twinkled more fiercely than ever before. In one swift but gentle movement, he wrapped his arm around my waist and pulled me to him.

"Wow," she began, "That's got to be…interesting. How did you find out?"
I blotted out my spelling error as I spoke, "Oh, they came over and helped us put away out things. The boys did not the girls. And on top of that, I fainted and Jasper caught me." Sonny's eyes widened as she quickly asked if I was all right.
"I'm fine," I sighed as we finished the last question, "Just felt a tad woozy I guess."
Sonny shook her head, "Watch out for jealous girls. They'll be all over you if they hear your news. As for Jasper, I can't believe Alice didn't say anything." I cringed as I thought about that. Yeesh, like I needed anything else bothering me…
