Chapter 1: How Alice Died…
Part 1
"EMMETT!" screeched Alice from her room.
"Yes, Ali-poo?"
"What have you done to my shoes?" she said, furiously gesturing toward her designer shoes filled with banana and egg whites.
Emmett looked like a kid who was caught stealing. He fiddled with his fingers.
"Well…you see…it all started like this…..EDWARD DID IT!" he ran away screaming 'THE DEMON PIXIE IS COMING!' while mimicking a bell.
Edward growled from his room. "Emmett you know I didn't!" Emmett burst into Edward's room and leaned into him.
"You know I did it. I know I did it. But Alice doesn't know I did it." He said with a wink.
Edward replied, "Well you know what Alice does know now? That you did it!" he doubled in laughter and heard Alice say "That's right, Emy-poo!" with a furious growl.
Emmett ran out the window with Alice behind him in 'Demon-Pixie' mode.
Jasper ran to Alice and caught her pulling out a sharpened chainsaw. He bolted over and grabbed by the arms. She tried pulling him off but right then he sent her waves of calm and she started breathing normally again. Emmett of course took this as an opportunity and ran for his life.
Alice sighed and dropped the chainsaw. "Why do you always stop me from killing that airhead?"
Jasper smiled. "What makes you think Rose won't turn on you?"
Alice cracked a smile. "Alright! You made your point."' She looked around at the darkening woods and a sudden idea came to her.
"Lets take a walk!" She blurted excitedly. He laughed.
"Anything you want, love." He wound his arm around her waist and she took his hand warmly."
They strolled in the moonlight with the trees making long shadows in their path. They were about to sit on a mossy rock when Jasper brushed it all away leaving it almost shiny. Alice cuddled in to Jasper and spoke.
"Jazz?"
"Yes?"
"Can you do me a favor?"
"Why, of course." he said surprised.
She held out her face and tapped her lips. "Do I have to ask?" He let out a small chuckle before gluing his lips to hers affectingly."Not entirely since you won't be able to." Alice smiled slightly. His arms wove around her back and her arms wrapped around his neck.
She hugged him close and he did the same. Alice's hands unconsciously wove through his honey blond hair and she pulled his closer still.
They heard a sudden rude noise that was clearly made out of disgust. Jasper sighed at the same time that Alice murmured.
"I am so gonna kill him one day." Jasper chuckled at her disappointment as she unwillingly untangled herself from him.
They took each others hands and waists and walked to the bush that Emmett's scent was leading to. Jaspers grip tightened in her as they saw him running away at top speed.
The next day…
Jasper trudged to Edwards room all the while thinking, Where is she?
He reached his door and Rosalie's and Bella's scent greeted him along with Edwards and Renesmee's. Edward heard him and opened the door. Bella was sitting on the bed with Renesmee.
"But Rose—Oh hello Jasper." She turned and smiled at him. "Hey Jazz." Greeted Rose followed by Edward's silent nod and slight smile. Then Renesmee ran up to him. "Uncle Jazzy!" He picked her up and spun her around. "Hey Ness!" he ignored Bella's frustrated glance at Edward at the nickname. Renesmee giggled and flailed her arms.
Once he put her down she pranced over to Edward and jumped on his back and hooked her arms around his neck. Edward made sure she didn't fall before turning back to Bella and Rose.
Jasper walked over to Edward and Renesmee jumped on him and looped her hands around his neck.
And she's 1 and a half years old, right?
Edward sighed and slid his hands in his pockets. Renesmee gave him a tight hug before settling behind both Bella and Rose and playing with their hair with each of her hand.
Jasper murmured quietly to Edward. "Have you seen Alice?" The three of them stared at him with Renesmee still playing with their hair.
"Isn't she with you?" he muttered back. "He wouldn't be asking then." Rose pointed out. She had walked up to them and Renesmee jumped onto Bella's lap. Bella picked her up but she slipped out telling her through her pictures she was going to play with Emmett.
Bella walked over to them and joined in the now starting conversation. Rose stood by Jasper and Edward took Bella by the waist.
"Didn't she go shopping?" Rose inquired.
"She's never taken this long and I'm not getting her thought right now but she's probably busy." Edward said.
"Don't worry Jazz, she'll come or we'll come looking for her later in the night. We'll probably find her ransacking some store across the state."
Bella didn't say anything and right then Jasper knew that she was concerned too. Rose went to track Renesmee with Bella following her.
"Don't worry." Said Edward before disappearing behind the two.
He tried to take that advice a number of times but it didn't work. He sat on Alice's and his bed and waited.
And waited…..
And waited…
When the darkness started seeping into the clear blue sky he started to get tense. He strode out of the room in a hurry. Edward was at his side almost as tense as he was.
"I'm not getting thoughts.." Jasper's eyes tightened. He glanced behind him and saw Bella, Esme, Emmett, and Carlisle following. Then he saw Rosalie ,with an extremely worried expression, holding Renesmee in her arms. She looked like she wanted to join them but Renesmee was unconsciously holding her back.
They strode in the shadows when Jasper suddenly caught her scent. His eyes widened as it went into the deeper part of the woods that she never took. He could feel everyone's tension mix with his.
With his teeth slightly bared he followed it. They hit the smell of the treaty line and thankfully the scent went right past it. It went deeper and deeper.
He saw Emmett frown out of the corner of his eye. This was no man's land but the werewolves could still be prowling at night and the temptation for him would be endless.
They passed another set of woods and Bella quickly turned away from it and she and Edward walked more quickly to avoid it. It brought back bad memories for them because not far from there was the place where Edward left Bella.
Jasper seemed not to notice. He walked on and saw a branch that she must've touched because it had her scent quite strongly on it. He stopped and picked it up. It was definitely her scent. He dropped it and walked more urgently still.
They walked soundlessly when her scent suddenly seemed to get mingled. The other scent was unrecognizable as it was somehow deliberately mixed with polyester fabric and heavy scents. It was especially hard to trace thanks to the smell of the trees and ground.
The moon seemed to darken as their tension grew.
Edward and the others walked on but the scent disappeared. Edward frowned deeply as did everyone else. He turned around to call to Jasper but he wasn't there. He walked back with the others at his sides. They found Jasper kneeling over a pile of gray sand. Edward moved toward him immediately but everyone else stopped dead. Jaspers eyes were lifeless and an endless tunnel. Edward inched forward and was immediately hit with Alice's scent again. It took him a few seconds to process that the gray sand was..ashes. Her scent ended at the pile… The ashes….were….
. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
It was dead quiet all around… Jasper couldn't process what lay before him but half of his mind wouldn't let him… His vision blurred and switched to another image.. It was his heart.. A golden heart with Alice's picture imprinted on it… She was smiling that smile that was reserved for him only… His heart melted to liquid gold each time she looked him in the eye…Her tinkling laugh that echoed through his ears wherever he went.. But as he gazed into the pile of ashes his heart turned to lead..Then to delicate glass.. So delicate it was almost the way he saw Alice.. So small and petite but much more powerful than she looked…But his heart was as he saw it….Fragile and delicate..He zeroed in on the scent that ended at the pile…One piece of his glass heart fell..
Tink
He saw her face smiling again… Her laugh tinkled in his ears….
Tink
He smelled her faint scent that would have knocked him off his feet if he were human but still seemed to do so..
Tink
He saw her eyes widen..Her delicate eyebrows furrowed together….
Tink..Tink..Tink…
Her expression turned horrified..
Tink..Tink..Tink..Tink…
Her mouth opened into a small 'o' of horror…
Tink..Tink..Tink….
She gazed at him longingly….
Tink..Tink..Tink….
He gazed at the last piece that reflected her expression.. She reached out at him.. groping desperately at him as if to grab him before he disappeared...
Then the hallow sound that followed, breaking her face into little pieces, was the last thing he ever heard before he felt like he was tumbling into a sorrowful, endless, tunnel of darkness….…..
Tink….
