Sorry it's been so long. I just finished another YA novel and am shopping for agent while I work on the third. Not to mention I'm almost 8 months pregnant. Boy life goes by fast.

Ps. I tried to get the history as accurate as possible, don't hate me if I'm not 100% accurate!

Jasper

1948, Philadelphia

It's well past midnight and the fog has rolled in. I'm alone for the first time in years. I can't tell if I like the quiet or not. Either way, I know I can't keep living like this.

If only there were an easy way to end it all.

My ears pick up the sound of feet, a soft swooshing sound, only hearable by vampire ears. This part of town is usually deserted, except the old diner two blocks down.

"There you are," a soft angelic voice says.

She glides faster than wind and is standing by me within seconds. Another vampire.

She's smiling, and her dark pixie hair frames her delicate face.

I'm stunned by her presence. "Do I know you?"

Her eyes stare at me from beneath curled lashes.

"Not yet, but you will. I've been waiting for you Jasper."

At the mention of my name, I step back, putting distance between us. "How do you know me? Did Maria send you?"

She shakes her head. "No. There's another way to live, Jasper. I can show you."

She holds out her hand and I stare. I don't trust people easily, but there's something about this girl that I can not deny, a strange pulling sensation that forces me to comply.

Without thinking, I take her hand and instantly I'm tied to her as if I've always known her. The sensation is unlike anything I've ever felt.

"Do you have a name?" I ask.

"Alice." She smiles and then pulls me away.

1952, Alaska

It's been four years since I met Alice and two since we found the Cullens. I don't know if I can ever survive on animal blood, but I honor the way the Cullens live.

But there is one problem.

Edward, my adoptive brother.

Alice has taken a liking to him and while I know her intentions are good, his are not. I haven't explained the extent of my powers because of this. While he claims brotherhood, I feel the truth.

He wants her and I'm not giving her up.
