Hey, guys! Finally had some time to write this today. Let me know what you think!!
I paced anxiously in front of Alice at the mouth of the cave. Her blank expression, which happened whenever she had a vision, always sent me into a slight panic.
Her eyes refocused on me, and she rolled her eyes. "Relax, please. It's too bad that that empathy stuff doesn't work on you. You could really use it sometimes. I don't know why my visions send you into such a panic. It's irritating, really..."
"What did you see, Alice?" Though I probably already knew.
"It's the fifth vision of them I've had this week, Jasper. We have to find them."
sa pamamagitan ng them she meant a large vampire coven of five vampires; all with peculiar golden eyes which Alice sinabi came from a diet of animal blood.
I sighed and stopped my crazy pacing to come sit sa pamamagitan ng her at the mouth of the cave, my thoughts all Gusot up. "Jasper?" she asked impatiently. She hated when I clouded the future like this. "What are you thinking?" "You think we belong with them," I told her. "What if you're wrong? What if it's a trap of some sort?" She snorted. "They don't even know us. What kind of trap would it be?" "I don't know," I admitted. Truth be told, my history hadn't ibingiay me much to work with in this situation. Alice insisted that the Cullens were very nice and caring, not at all like wild newborns. They didn't drink human blood, so I believed that they were somehow madami tame than other vampires. But nice? Caring? Those words didn't apply to vampires, unless Alice was in my thoughts. My time with Maria and the newborns had been full of war, hatred, and violence. I'd never once felt pag-ibig or safety, at least not before Alice. Fights broke out regularly between the newborns and between Maria, Lucy, Nettie, and I. It was always a tense atmosphere; full of hate and violence. The family she described, the Cullens, sounded wonderful. No violence, no hate. Just peace and love.
But was such an existance possible? My thoughts jumped back to the past; a group of four newborns, who had been together for a buwan without a problem, start to fight. Peter, Maria, and I try to pry them off of each other, and are badly bitten. I knew that Carlisle was over 300 years old and Edward, Emmett, and Rosalie were over 7 decades at least. Esme was no newborn, either. Alice sinabi they based their bonds together on pag-ibig rather than on convenience or survival. The madami I thought about it, I realized that it was possible to exist in peace this way. But was such an existance REALLY possible?
"I'm just worried," I told Alice, looking down at her light auburn eyes. She was already practicing the animal blood diet. Her eyes grew lighter every day, as did mine. She rolled her eyes. "When are you not? My size, my visions, it all worries you." But she looked up at me and smiled, then her face grew serious. "You know I pag-ibig you. Would I really be trying to find the Cullens if I didn't? I would never try to do something that might put us in danger. This is what's best for us. Trust me." I hesitated. "Have I ever been wrong before?" she pressed. Her reproachful tone made my lips twitch. I fought a smile. "No," I admitted. "But this could be a first." "Trust me," she pleaded, her light auburn eyes boring into mine. "Can we try it, at least? I've never had a family... at least not that I can remember." Her face puckered. "I miss family," I admitted, putting my arm around her shoulder. "I don't know what family is," Alice whispered, looking out at the stars.
The sadness coming from her was enough to make a vampire cry. I looked down at her and sighed. Causing Alice pain was inexcusable, a crime. Though I had my doubts, I trusted her. We would sumali the Cullens tonight.
Alice turned towards me and an excited grin lit her face, making her eyes shine. "Really?" she said. "You're giving in?" I sighed. "Yes. Though I wouldn't quite call it 'giving in'. You're making me optimistic. We would have gone in a few days anyway." She squealed. "Yay! Thank-you! You won't be sorry, I promise! And we'll only stay for a little while. If you don't like it, let me know and we can leave..." but I could tell that she had no intention of letting us leave once we arrived. And despite my doubts, I was excited to meet Carlisle and Esme and the rest of my...siblings. Alice was overly confident that I would take to the Cullens just like she had.
"We can get to them in about five hours if we start now," Alice babbled excitedly. "Let's go then," I told her, helping her up. "Thank-you," she sinabi madami earnestly this time, wrapping her arms around me and burying her face in my chest. I kissed her spikey hair. She pulled away to look at me, and then her face went blank. I gnawed anxiously on my lip until she came back to the present. When she saw my expression she frowned. "Why does that worry you?" she wondered. I pressed my lips into a tight line. I had no intention to tell her this. It was almost cowardly to admit. "Jazz." her tone was reproachful again. "It makes me feel alone," I admitted. "Like I'm back to wandering the forest sa pamamagitan ng myself. Like I'm fighting alone in the front line." I laughed once. "It feels like you're leaving me, and I've wandered alone for a century before I found you, Alice," I added madami seriously. "I've gotten so used to having you around that it makes me uneasy to lose you, even for a few seconds. I pag-ibig you so much." She was staring incredulously at me when I finished my little rant. "Oh, Jazz!" she said, burying her face in my neck. "I pag-ibig you, too! If I'd known it was that bad, well...it's not something I can control, but...I can try..." She gritted her teeth as she tried to fight another vision from coming. "No, don't!" I said. "You have to keep watch; keep us safe. I'll get better at this. Just as long as you come back to me." I kissed her lightly on the lips. "Always," she promised. She stiffened and turned her face quickly away from me, but I saw the blank expression at once. She looked back up at me after a few moments and sighed. "Caught that, did you?" "You're not very subtle." I replied. She sighed. "Well Emmett and Edward have gone hunting. So when we arrive only Carlisle and Esme and Rosalie will be there." I nodded. Good, I thought. That leaves them a little madami divided when we arrive... I shook my head. I had to stop thinking of them from a military perspective.
Alice took my arm. "Come on!" she laughed impatiently. I smiled and we ran together through the woods, towards Forks, Washington.
