There is snow and Jasper is stalking an animal. He jumped onto the animal and started to rip it to shreds.
" Alice!" I felt someone shaking me. My eyes flew open. " Dinner's ready." Jessica said leaning on my bed. I had fallen asleep and had the weirdest dream. Or vision. I came down stairs and sat on a chair in the dining room. Either Jasper was really mad or he hunts a little differently than usual.

The next day at school was horrible. Mary Alice Brandon walked into the cafeteria, this time alone. I could just imagine coming up to her then leaning down as if I was going to kiss her and-
" Will you please stop! You think I enjoy your little movies?" Edward asked exasperated. She passed our table without looking back. Edward's eyes followed after her.
She smells delicious.
" I agree. But she is-"
" A human and has a wonderful life that we shouldn't take away from her." I finished for him. She went to the lunch line and stood patiently. I could still smell her, and now it was getting more and more intoxicating. I stood up quickly and walked quickly for the doors flanked by Edward and Emmett.
Must I talk to Carlisle?
" You must. I demand you to." We were already in the car half way there.
But...
" It'll be better for you. Just think about it... Alice is a human nonetheless." I nodded. I stepped out of the car and into the garage. Edward was already in the house.
" Carlisle?" Edward called.
" Here. In the study." We raced up to the study and opened the door where Carlisle was reading a book. " What's wrong?" He asked conversationally.
" It's like me and Bella only it's Jasper this time." Edward summed it up.
" Except I'm not in love with her."
Yet. I thought. Edward rolled his eyes.
" Well, Jasper you could try to leave for a while. Go to Tanya's for a while just stay away... like what Edward did." Carlisle shrugged.
" Yes I'll do that, I'll call Tanya right now." I picked up Carlisle's cell phone off his desk and called. I straightened things out with Tanya.
" See you all later. Give Esme a hug for me."
And I was on my way.

Lunch came up very quickly. I was already aware Jasper Hale was gone. Jessica knows a lot. I was still wondering about the latest vision. But I didn't let it bug me.
" Alice we're going to La Push today after school." Jess informed me. I just nodded.
" Okay."
After school came quicker than I thought, my friendship status hasn't gone up even though I've been here for two weeks. Now I was meeting Jacob and Billy Black, good friends of Uncle Craig.
" Jacob, Alice, Alice, Jacob." Jess introduced me to him. Jacob was a twelve- year- old Indian kid. He was very sweet and generous. His Dad, Billy, was funny, and his sister, Rachel was very intelligent, his other sister, Rebecca... not as much.
" Where's your Mom?" I asked Jacob while everyone else was inside watching TV. We sat on the front porch.
" She died just a couple years ago." His grin turned into a frown. " My Dad told me your story... I'm sorry."
" Yeah. She was something special."
" Dinner!" Billy shouted. Jacob and I got up and went inside.
My mind still wanted Jasper Hale to come back so I could unravel the mystery that is his families. But for right now I could wait.
