We’re both trying to pretend that never happened. That there was no Coven in London, There wasn’t a fight, no sisters, no brothers, no anything. I didn’t want to forget them, but I didn’t want to remember a few things either. I haven’t been very perceptive these past few days. I haven’t seen much and I haven’t looked much. I guess it’s because it’s no use to look for something I can’t see. We’re still in Europe. It’s still dark but not much longer. From what I did see it was suppose to be cloudy. We decided 유럽 was still the best place to look. All of a sudden Jasper stopped.
“What’s wrong Jasper?” He had a confused look on his face. “I have a feeling we’re being followed. Do 당신 see anything?” “Sit down and I’ll look.” He sat down and stared at the sky, I started to look around. I didn’t see much, a few squirrels, a deer 또는 two, a raccoon, and a few Grizzly Bears. Emmett’s favorite. This doesn’t help much, I’m already in an almost depression from being away from home, now I have to start seeing things that remind me of them. “Unless 당신 mean we’re being followed 의해 creatures of the forest I don’t see anything following us. Maybe we should hunt, that might take the feeling away.” “Alice, I don’t think that’s it. I felt it when I was in 런던 too. I felt five different emotions when I was with William and Robert. It was brief so I couldn’t really tell where they were but I know what I felt and it was oddly familiar too.” He’s been pretending that the snake never existed. He’s been pretending there were three sisters and two brothers. I’m happy about that. “Jasper, just come and hunt with me. Please? It might help. Plus we would’ve stopped and hunted a little later anyways.” He stopped staring at the sky and looked at me, “Alice? Do 당신 here that? 당신 have to hear that!” I turned to the bush, I heard it. It was a small brushing noise. I walked over to the 부시, 부시 대통령은 very carefully, if Jasper was right and something was following us I’m not taking any chances. Besides nothing in 유럽 has been very friendly. Even Laura, Katrina, and Nala had a temper problem. Before I got to the 부시, 부시 대통령은 something came out from behind it, a raccoon. “Jasper? It’s just a little raccoon. Are 당신 sure you’re okay? 당신 really should hunt. You’re 연기 a little paranoid.” He was staring at the raccoon. “Yeah, I’ll hunt with you. You’re probably right, but Alice if I am right and someone is following us 당신 are getting a very big I told 당신 so.” He smiled. “Stop smiling Mr. Paranoid and come on. Go find something to hunt.”
He got up. “I don’t know about 당신 but I’m in the mood for bear. 당신 see any?” “A few. Up the 언덕, 힐 a little ways.” He started walking towards the bears. He turned to look back at me. “You coming?” “Yeah but I think I’ll find a deer.” He caught on to what I was talking about. “Okay. I bet 당신 I can get the biggest one though.” “Jasper, I’m not falling for it.” “Okay but I know why 당신 doing that. You’re afraid I’ll get the biggest bear.” “I would get the bigger 곰 but since I’m hunting deer the 곰 is all yours and F.Y.I, I’m not afraid, I would get the biggest bear. Now go get your 곰 while I go get a lamb. Deer!” Great I’m making mistakes all the time now. Edward’s 가장 좋아하는 saying. Anything else I should be reminded of? Do I get to see a woman who’s tall and has blonde hair? 또는 a girl who’s very clumsy and shy? “Okay Mrs. Lamb. I’ll go get a Grizzly and 당신 go get your deer, Dear.” “Very funny.” I followed him until he got his 곰 it was the biggest but it didn’t go down without a fight. “Damn it! That’s my only shirt! Stupid bear.” I mocked him “I bet I can get the biggest one though. Jasper, just go get the 초 biggest 곰 before he rips your pants too.” “No. I said I could get it and I will.” “Fine tell me how it goes.” The deer wasn’t very far away. I took him down in a second. It wasn’t very filling but it was good enough. I sat on a rock and waited for him to come back.
“Hey there.” I turned around. Not only was his 셔츠 ripped but so was a part of his pants. “I told 당신 so.” “Hey. I was going to say that later. When it turns out I’m right.” “So, 당신 take down the 곰 또는 did the 곰 get away?” “No. I took him down. It was fun.” “I’m happy you’re feeling better. But 당신 realize now we have to get 당신 new clothes which means we have to go to town and find a store!” That wiped the smile off his face, just like it does to anyone who knows me. “Alice, no. No, no way!” “Yes way! I told 당신 to leave that 곰 alone and 당신 didn’t so now 당신 get to go on a shopping spree with me!!” He looked like he was sick. “You know I got that weird feeling again.” “Don’t even try it.” He had a smile on his face again; he looked like a kid who woke up on 크리스마스 with the toy of his dreams. “Oh no. We don’t have any money.” He put a little frown on his face. “I thought of that. I took a few thousand dollars before we left. We’re covered.” He didn’t loose hope. “But it must be ruined from when we went swimming.” “I thought of that. I put the money in a waterproof wallet.” “Where’s the wallet?” “The wallet is in my pocket. Safe.” Now he 로스트 hope. Nothing scares my family 더 많이 than one of my shopping sprees. James, Victoria, and Laurent looked like flies compared to my shopping sprees. It’s even worse for Emmett, Carlisle, Jasper, and Edward. What boy wants his sister 또는 wife to 샵 for clothes for them? Not mine. Too bad, Jasper is just gonna have to suffer for an hour, maybe two, make it three. “Now come on. It’s almost sunrise, and we’re going to the nearest mall 또는 nearest clothes store. I hate shopping like this but I have no time to look for designer clothes.” He had another smile on his face.
“Alice. My 셔츠 and pants are ripped. 당신 know the saying. No shoes no 셔츠 no service.” He thinks he’s going to wiggle his way out of this. He’s not going to get out of this one. “Jasper? Ever heard of a bribe? A few hundred dollars will convince any store manager to let me shop. No matter what the consequences are.” “Fine, slap on the cuffs and drag me to the store. How long will we be in there?” “An 시간 또는 two, maybe three.” “Oh no.” “Oh yes. Jasper you’ve handled worse things than that. Remember the last time we went shopping together?” “Yeah. We were in there since 6:00 a.m and left around midnight. Talk about a bribe. I can’t believe 당신 made that manager make the store stay open longer.” “Flirting goes a long way when 당신 dress like this.” “Yeah well I didn’t like that bribe.” “He sure did.” “That’s why I didn’t like it, that and because he let us stay in there longer! I thought nothing could kill us but your shopping sprees kill everyone.” He smiled a goofy grin. “Stop smiling and come on.” We started walking. “We need to get to a store before all the good clothes are gone.” He stopped right where he was. I kept walking.
“Jasper no matter how many times 당신 stop I’m getting 당신 to a store!” I stopped and turned around. He was 겨울왕국 again just like when he thought someone was following us. “Jasper, don’t start that again. No one is following us. 당신 just don’t want me to get 당신 to a store.” “Alice, I hate going to a store with 당신 but I told 당신 I surrendered. I was going to go with 당신 with no trouble.” “Then come on.” “Alice, I 사랑 to say this to you, I told 당신 so. I betted against 당신 and I was right. So I told 당신 so, I told 당신 so, I told 당신 so! At least try and pay attention to your surroundings.” “I don’t see anyone and I don’t smell anyone. What’s your point?” “Yeah but I feel something.” “Your nerves about going to a store?” “Alice, I’m being very serious!” “I’m sorry; ok what do 당신 feel now?” “Five different emotions besides ours.” 당신 would think he would realize where we are. “Jasper, we’re in the forest. Have 당신 ever heard of Hikers?” “Alice, this is no time for sarcasm.” “Sorry.” I really haven’t been myself since we left, neither of us has been. “They’re getting closer……” There was a breeze so I took a deep breath. Jasper wasn’t feeling hikers. He was right. “Jasper. Go ahead.” “I….TOLD....YOU….SO. Can 당신 see anything?” I looked around. “I don’t see anything.” “Do 당신 see them coming our way anytime soon?”
No. I don’t see them coming but I don’t see them at all. It’s either because I don’t know them 또는 it’s because someone isn’t letting me see them but that’s impossible. Well, to our knowledge it’s impossible. Usually all I need is their scent and I can see their futures. “Sorry Jasper but I don’t see them at all.” “Maybe they won’t come at all. Hopefully our paths accidentally crossed, hopefully.” “Jasper let’s just go to a store if they are following us then they wouldn’t even try to go in the store.” “Ok. Let’s go.” We both turned and started walking but a lot faster than we were walking. We both just wanted to get away from there just in case.
“See anything yet?” “Jasper you’ve been asking that every two seconds. Can 당신 give me a break? I saw nothing, I see nothing, and I doubt I’ll ever see something but I must admit the smell has been getting stronger.” He started walking right past me. An army man who’s scared half to death of someone who might not even be following us. “Alice could 당신 hurry?” “About ten 분 이전 당신 were begging me not to go to a store and now you’re begging to go to the store.” “Well Ten 분 이전 I was afraid of being shopped to death. Now I’m afraid I’m going to have to fight someone for you……again 또는 fighting for 당신 to get off someone 또는 fight because they started fighting.” “Hey, I thought we were going to drop that.” “I thought 당신 were going to walk faster.” “Quit it, we aren’t 연기 like ourselves already do we have to push each other over the edge?” “You’re right I’m sorry Alice.” “It’s ok but I was being serious when I said the smell was getting stronger but now it’s stronger than before.” “I know. I wonder what they want.” He turned his head to look at me. “I told 당신 I see nothing. I hear nothing and I smell something. Isn’t that good enough?” “No. When 당신 see something then it’ll be good enough.” Then something stepped out from a 나무, 트리 in front of us.
“Well, it looks like 당신 didn’t have long to wait. Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe your names are Alice and Jasper.” I was speechless. She was tall with black eyes and she had flaming red hair but she had it short. I stopped walking but Jasper kept going. “Jasper? What are 당신 doing? “I’m hoping she’s not there that’s what I’m doing.” “Now my feelings are hurt. Believe me when I say we come in peace. Corny I know but true. We mean no harm. Once again corny but true. I feel like an alien from outer 우주 from one of those old movies.” She started laughing. What’s so funny? She pops out of no where and I’m panicking because I didn’t see her come out from the 나무, 트리 until after she actually did it and Jasper’s running like a fool. “Jasper would 당신 get over here?!” “Not until it goes away!” “For your information I’m not an it, I’m a she and they are a they.” She pointed in front of Jasper but it was where he was headed. He passed her but before he could go any further four other 뱀파이어 grabbed him and started carrying him back. They had to bring him back kicking and screaming, literally. I have never seen Jasper do that! Kicking, screaming, and biting? I thought he was above that kind of stuff. Well, unless he needed to do that but like she said they mean no harm and they come in peace. That does sound corny. “Would 당신 put me down? Can’t I go anywhere without people doing this?” “Doing what? Carrying 당신 back like a baby?” One of the men carrying him looked at me. He was big but he was smaller than Emmett but taller than Edward, he had brown hair but his hair was like a buzz cut and he had black eyes too. “How many times does he get carried like this?” “Umm actually this is the first.” “And the kicking and screaming?” “First time.” “Huh.” They put him down right 다음 to me and walked over to the woman. “Well here 당신 go. Now you’re on the ground. Don’t make a run for it 또는 we’ll have to hold 당신 down.” Another woman turned to me. “You tell us if he’s going to try anything. You’ll be the first to know when he’s planning it.” “He already is.” “Alice!” “Jasper! He’s trying to beat the odds in his head. He was planning on me following him but he wasn’t planning on staying much longer.” “Alice!” Well it’s true!” “It may be true but 당신 didn’t have to tell them!” “Would 당신 stop that! All the math you’re doing in your head is giving me a headache!” “Well they’re giving me a headache!” “And that’s my fault?!” “Yes! If you’ve walked faster then…..” “Would 당신 shut up?! If I would’ve walked faster than they would’ve walked faster anyway!” “I’m sorry to interrupt but this is no time to fight; besides we weren’t planning on fighting 당신 anyway. We just wanted to discuss something with you.” “Now 당신 see that Jasper you’re making me fight with 당신 over nothing.” “I’m making 당신 fight with me? You’re making me fight with you!” “I am not, you’re the one……..” “WOULD THE BOTH OF 당신 SHUT THE HELL UP?! YOU’RE GIVING ME A BLOODY HEADACHE!” He was very short and had blonde hair with red eyes and a British accent. “That’s quite enough from 당신 Cedric.” “Yeah well that’s enough of them I could take. They would’ve done the same damn thing over and over and over.” “Come on man shut up. We’ve heard 당신 complain the whole time too. You’re not the only one with a headache.” Uh-oh. I go to get there attention. “HEY!” “WHAT!” Three voices shouted at me at the same time. “You might want to start running.” “Why?” “Well, Jasper’s almost out of the country.” “SON OF A……” “THIS IS NO TIME TO BE CURSING CEDRIC!!!!! JUST RUN!!!!!!” “You know where he’s going?” “Of course. Africa 의해 the looks of it. He’s still trying to figure out if he should go there 또는 America and if he should come back for me.” Then Cedric and the one fighting with Cedric left. It was the same one who asked me those questions. I should feel mad, depressed, and betrayed but I don’t. I should be wondering why he’s running but I’m not. I’m just curious to know what the hell is going on here and why the other woman is so familiar. “What are their names?” I pointed to the woman and the man who didn’t say anything yet. “That’s Sierra and that’s Maxwell but just call him Max. I’m Franny but everyone calls me Fran.” Max was medium sized with black hair but with a gray streak in it that looked like a lightening bolt, his eyes were red like Cedric’s and Sierra was about Rosalie’s size and had long black hair down to her knees but her eyes were gold like mine. “Well Fran, Max might want to 가입하기 Cedric and the other guy.” “Why I’m sure Cedric and Frank can handle Jasper 의해 themselves.” “Then obviously 당신 don’t know Jasper as well as I do. Max.” He looked at me. “Go with Cedric and Frank.” He shook his head. “NOW!” He started running in the right direction. “I’m sorry Fran but if he wouldn’t go then I would never get Jasper back over here and 당신 would never be able to ask the question.” “I have to ask the two of 당신 the 질문 separately anyway.” “Then go ahead and ask me.” I have a feeling this will be very, very odd.
“Alice I’m a shield. I block physical, mental, and physic powers. Like yours. Jasper’s power is the one exception to my shield and we’re not sure why. We have come across Jasper once before. We were following Peter&Charlotte a long, long time 이전 and then Jasper joined them. We found Jasper very interesting. So we wanted to ask him a 질문 but then he left Peter&Charlotte and so we decided since we wanted to ask him a 질문 we’d follow him instead but he got to where he was going to quickly and we didn’t have enough time to ask him.” “Why didn’t 당신 ask him straight out instead of following him?” “I was getting to that.” “Sorry.” “He was going somewhere we weren’t sure where so we stayed a distance. He went somewhere 당신 should remember quite clearly. After he finished what he was doing he came out not alone but with you. We decided since he found a better life we would leave him alone but then we came across three brothers. 당신 should know them very well too. Especially……” “Don’t 당신 say that name!” “Fine. So we decided to follow them since they had such an interesting past and they were very funny to watch. We asked all three of them the 질문 and only one said yes.” “Robert.” “Exactly. He thought it would be funny to travel the world and show off his guns?” “His muscles.” “Ah. 당신 know we never understood that, anyway when he realized he was the only one who said yes he backed out. We still followed them because William looked as if he desperately wanted to say yes to the question. So we followed them just in case they change their minds. We were about to stop following them when we noticed Jasper was with them. We thought it was a perfect time to ask the question.” “Oh that explains what he said earlier.” “The reason we thought it was perfect was because we thought he left you.” “So quick to judge.” “I’m sorry Alice, we just wanted to ask the 질문 to Jasper and we thought he got bored with his old life like he did with Peter&Charlotte and decided to leave but obviously he didn’t.” “Yeah well he came very very close.” “We know.” What the hell? Do they do this for a living? Follow vampire after vampire coven after coven. It’s madness! I never thought 뱀파이어 had to worry about stalkers!
“We saw what happened and we really thought the separation was permanent.” “It looked that way to me too.” “We know but that Katrina had to butt in and tell 당신 this and tell 당신 that and told 당신 not to go to the Volturi, and she ruined everything. Sorry.” “No problem.” Yeah it’s really no problem, 당신 sit here insult me and then go and insult my best friend and then stalk my husband to a point when he’s about to loose his mind when he’s already 연기 insane. All for a question? I don’t get it. “So we followed him and right when we were about to come out of the shadows he starts running straight for you! we were so mad, we knew 당신 were going to take him back but we saw the tension between the two of 당신 and well we thought another fight 또는 something would happen and the separation would happen again and if it did we wouldn’t wait, as soon as 당신 two were apart we were going to ask him the question. It was Cedric’s idea to just stop the both of 당신 and ask 당신 both the question.” “I would understand this a whole lot better if 당신 told me what the 질문 was 또는 if 당신 would drop your shield.” “If I drop my shield even for a 초 our whole family is vulnerable, like I’d put them in danger like that. I’ll tell 당신 the 질문 as soon as I tell 당신 one 더 많이 thing.” “Fine tell me so I can get this mess over with so I can get Jasper back and go get my anti-depressant.” “Really? I didn’t know we could have anti-depressants.” “I meant shopping my anti-depressant is shopping.” “Why? Shopping is so dull and boring.” I thought a woman would understand. Any woman who has a problem either eats, (Can’t do that) 또는 shops with her friends. I have a few girlfriends to hang out with Bella, Rosalie, and as soon as she gets older Renesmee. So it’s either shopping 또는 I loose all hope and be upset and snap at people all the time. Like Rosalie. “Shopping is not dull and boring. You’re getting off track just tell me the one thing 당신 wanted to tell me before 당신 ask me the question.” “Boy are 당신 impatient.” “I’ll show 당신 impatient if 당신 don’t shut up and get to the damn point.” Uh-oh. First sign of a fight I start snapping.
“Frank can see the past instead of the future and if he touches 당신 he can allow 당신 to see your past. People’s past is much 더 많이 interesting than their future, that’s what make us follow certain people. We go 의해 what their past is. It’s interesting because he sees their human past and vampire past. When we first saw 당신 he saw only a brief part of your human past. He only saw your friend, your closest friend when 당신 were in an insane asylum. We thought Jasper was crazy for going with 당신 but it turns out it was the other way around. No offense.” “It’s ok.” Ha, ha, ha make fun of the crazy people. 초 sign of a fight I’m dreaming of killing her. I really hope Jasper gets back soon. Speak of the devil.
Looks like our good 프렌즈 Mr. Past and Mr. Bloody hell found my husband in the ocean and Mr. No is right behind them. Jasper once again starts to go faster. They got him, he’s kicking and screaming again, and now they are carrying him back here while the whole time Jasper is cursing and trying to get away.
“You might want to ask me that 질문 now.” “Why?” “Because I know three people whose carrying one important person, who’s headed this way.” “Right. Fine.” I might have to kill her, depending on what the 질문 is. “We want 당신 to 가입하기 us.” Oh my god, she has to be joking! I started laughing. “No, never.” “But if 당신 choose to 가입하기 us all the things 당신 can’t remember from your human life 당신 could know now and you’ll be able to remember everything. Forever and ever. Isn’t that what 당신 want most Alice? To know everything 당신 used to know. To remember your mom, your dad, and your sister. Don’t 당신 want to remember the good times 당신 had with them? Your birthdays? Everything? To get to actually see them again? Isn’t that why 당신 tried to find your papers from the Insane Asylum? To see when 당신 got there and if 당신 had a sister 또는 brother 또는 any living relative. We could give 당신 a lot 더 많이 than outdated papers my friend. So….you in 또는 out?”
I can’t believe it. My years of searching for a picture 또는 one solid document to tell me everything I need to know and all I had to do was find Frank before he found these fools. I 사랑 my new family a lot but do I 사랑 my old family more? She really did make me an offer that’s hard to refuse. Should I? Should I really go for it? Should I abandon my 검색 for a half breed like Renesmee? Should I abandon everything I have for this? How do I know she’s really telling the truth? Sure she guessed about my best friend and my 검색 for my papers from the insane asylum but how long has she been following us? She says since Jasper found Robert and William but she also said she saw him first with Peter and Charlotte. So if she is a shield she can block her mind like Bella can. This explains why Edward can’t read Bella’s thoughts. So she could have been following my whole family for months with no detection. “Well? Are 당신 in 또는 out?” “Would 당신 give me a damn second?! This is a lot to take in! I mean I either stay with my new family 또는 see my old family again! It’s a decision that I have to think about!” “I understand but can 당신 take a break and tell me if they’re almost here and if you’re leaning to yes 또는 no.” I closed my mind and tried to block out everything else.
There is a problem. Jasper got out of there grasp but Cedric tackled him and now they have him under control again. “Your first answer is they should be here in another twenty 분 and to answer your 초 question…..” I can’t believe this. “I’m actually leaning toward a yes.” “Great! This is awesome if we have 당신 on our side we won’t only be able to see the potential in 뱀파이어 from their past but now their future too! This would be perfect! Welcome aboard!” “Whoa, whoa, whoa, I said I was leaning toward yes I never said a definite yes. I have a 질문 for you.” “Go ahead! If this is something that might help get 당신 in our family then ask away!” “How do I know he really sees the past?” “Ah! The same 질문 they all ask! As soon as Frank comes back I’ll get him to show 당신 a sneak peek of your human life!” “Alright. What about Jasper?” “Well if he knows 당신 said yes……” “I didn’t yet.” “Ah ha! The keyword! Yet! Anyway if 당신 do say yes then after he says no. 당신 know he will because he’ll think 당신 said no. Anyway after we tell 당신 to come with us he’ll change his mind and he’ll come too. Perfect plan isn’t it?!” “So Jasper has a definite place here?” “Of course! 당신 both do! And if 당신 both say no then we will never bother 당신 again but if 당신 change your mind then find us. You’ll always be welcomed with us!” “Ok. I need 더 많이 time to think.” “Oh, I’m sorry but 당신 and Jasper can’t see each other when they get here not until 당신 both give us an answer. So Sierra? Can 당신 bring Alice behind those trees over there? And make sure she’s comfortable!” “Sure. Alice come with me please.” “No offense Fran but I’ll never be comfortable until my decision is made.” “Good! Because neither will I.” “Oh and Fran?” “Yeah?” “They’re here.” “GREAT!! I’ll have to put a shield around Jasper too. We don’t want 당신 to cheat on 당신 test. Now go, go, go!!! Sierra take her quickly!” “Come on Alice.”
“What’s wrong Jasper?” He had a confused look on his face. “I have a feeling we’re being followed. Do 당신 see anything?” “Sit down and I’ll look.” He sat down and stared at the sky, I started to look around. I didn’t see much, a few squirrels, a deer 또는 two, a raccoon, and a few Grizzly Bears. Emmett’s favorite. This doesn’t help much, I’m already in an almost depression from being away from home, now I have to start seeing things that remind me of them. “Unless 당신 mean we’re being followed 의해 creatures of the forest I don’t see anything following us. Maybe we should hunt, that might take the feeling away.” “Alice, I don’t think that’s it. I felt it when I was in 런던 too. I felt five different emotions when I was with William and Robert. It was brief so I couldn’t really tell where they were but I know what I felt and it was oddly familiar too.” He’s been pretending that the snake never existed. He’s been pretending there were three sisters and two brothers. I’m happy about that. “Jasper, just come and hunt with me. Please? It might help. Plus we would’ve stopped and hunted a little later anyways.” He stopped staring at the sky and looked at me, “Alice? Do 당신 here that? 당신 have to hear that!” I turned to the bush, I heard it. It was a small brushing noise. I walked over to the 부시, 부시 대통령은 very carefully, if Jasper was right and something was following us I’m not taking any chances. Besides nothing in 유럽 has been very friendly. Even Laura, Katrina, and Nala had a temper problem. Before I got to the 부시, 부시 대통령은 something came out from behind it, a raccoon. “Jasper? It’s just a little raccoon. Are 당신 sure you’re okay? 당신 really should hunt. You’re 연기 a little paranoid.” He was staring at the raccoon. “Yeah, I’ll hunt with you. You’re probably right, but Alice if I am right and someone is following us 당신 are getting a very big I told 당신 so.” He smiled. “Stop smiling Mr. Paranoid and come on. Go find something to hunt.”
He got up. “I don’t know about 당신 but I’m in the mood for bear. 당신 see any?” “A few. Up the 언덕, 힐 a little ways.” He started walking towards the bears. He turned to look back at me. “You coming?” “Yeah but I think I’ll find a deer.” He caught on to what I was talking about. “Okay. I bet 당신 I can get the biggest one though.” “Jasper, I’m not falling for it.” “Okay but I know why 당신 doing that. You’re afraid I’ll get the biggest bear.” “I would get the bigger 곰 but since I’m hunting deer the 곰 is all yours and F.Y.I, I’m not afraid, I would get the biggest bear. Now go get your 곰 while I go get a lamb. Deer!” Great I’m making mistakes all the time now. Edward’s 가장 좋아하는 saying. Anything else I should be reminded of? Do I get to see a woman who’s tall and has blonde hair? 또는 a girl who’s very clumsy and shy? “Okay Mrs. Lamb. I’ll go get a Grizzly and 당신 go get your deer, Dear.” “Very funny.” I followed him until he got his 곰 it was the biggest but it didn’t go down without a fight. “Damn it! That’s my only shirt! Stupid bear.” I mocked him “I bet I can get the biggest one though. Jasper, just go get the 초 biggest 곰 before he rips your pants too.” “No. I said I could get it and I will.” “Fine tell me how it goes.” The deer wasn’t very far away. I took him down in a second. It wasn’t very filling but it was good enough. I sat on a rock and waited for him to come back.
“Hey there.” I turned around. Not only was his 셔츠 ripped but so was a part of his pants. “I told 당신 so.” “Hey. I was going to say that later. When it turns out I’m right.” “So, 당신 take down the 곰 또는 did the 곰 get away?” “No. I took him down. It was fun.” “I’m happy you’re feeling better. But 당신 realize now we have to get 당신 new clothes which means we have to go to town and find a store!” That wiped the smile off his face, just like it does to anyone who knows me. “Alice, no. No, no way!” “Yes way! I told 당신 to leave that 곰 alone and 당신 didn’t so now 당신 get to go on a shopping spree with me!!” He looked like he was sick. “You know I got that weird feeling again.” “Don’t even try it.” He had a smile on his face again; he looked like a kid who woke up on 크리스마스 with the toy of his dreams. “Oh no. We don’t have any money.” He put a little frown on his face. “I thought of that. I took a few thousand dollars before we left. We’re covered.” He didn’t loose hope. “But it must be ruined from when we went swimming.” “I thought of that. I put the money in a waterproof wallet.” “Where’s the wallet?” “The wallet is in my pocket. Safe.” Now he 로스트 hope. Nothing scares my family 더 많이 than one of my shopping sprees. James, Victoria, and Laurent looked like flies compared to my shopping sprees. It’s even worse for Emmett, Carlisle, Jasper, and Edward. What boy wants his sister 또는 wife to 샵 for clothes for them? Not mine. Too bad, Jasper is just gonna have to suffer for an hour, maybe two, make it three. “Now come on. It’s almost sunrise, and we’re going to the nearest mall 또는 nearest clothes store. I hate shopping like this but I have no time to look for designer clothes.” He had another smile on his face.
“Alice. My 셔츠 and pants are ripped. 당신 know the saying. No shoes no 셔츠 no service.” He thinks he’s going to wiggle his way out of this. He’s not going to get out of this one. “Jasper? Ever heard of a bribe? A few hundred dollars will convince any store manager to let me shop. No matter what the consequences are.” “Fine, slap on the cuffs and drag me to the store. How long will we be in there?” “An 시간 또는 two, maybe three.” “Oh no.” “Oh yes. Jasper you’ve handled worse things than that. Remember the last time we went shopping together?” “Yeah. We were in there since 6:00 a.m and left around midnight. Talk about a bribe. I can’t believe 당신 made that manager make the store stay open longer.” “Flirting goes a long way when 당신 dress like this.” “Yeah well I didn’t like that bribe.” “He sure did.” “That’s why I didn’t like it, that and because he let us stay in there longer! I thought nothing could kill us but your shopping sprees kill everyone.” He smiled a goofy grin. “Stop smiling and come on.” We started walking. “We need to get to a store before all the good clothes are gone.” He stopped right where he was. I kept walking.
“Jasper no matter how many times 당신 stop I’m getting 당신 to a store!” I stopped and turned around. He was 겨울왕국 again just like when he thought someone was following us. “Jasper, don’t start that again. No one is following us. 당신 just don’t want me to get 당신 to a store.” “Alice, I hate going to a store with 당신 but I told 당신 I surrendered. I was going to go with 당신 with no trouble.” “Then come on.” “Alice, I 사랑 to say this to you, I told 당신 so. I betted against 당신 and I was right. So I told 당신 so, I told 당신 so, I told 당신 so! At least try and pay attention to your surroundings.” “I don’t see anyone and I don’t smell anyone. What’s your point?” “Yeah but I feel something.” “Your nerves about going to a store?” “Alice, I’m being very serious!” “I’m sorry; ok what do 당신 feel now?” “Five different emotions besides ours.” 당신 would think he would realize where we are. “Jasper, we’re in the forest. Have 당신 ever heard of Hikers?” “Alice, this is no time for sarcasm.” “Sorry.” I really haven’t been myself since we left, neither of us has been. “They’re getting closer……” There was a breeze so I took a deep breath. Jasper wasn’t feeling hikers. He was right. “Jasper. Go ahead.” “I….TOLD....YOU….SO. Can 당신 see anything?” I looked around. “I don’t see anything.” “Do 당신 see them coming our way anytime soon?”
No. I don’t see them coming but I don’t see them at all. It’s either because I don’t know them 또는 it’s because someone isn’t letting me see them but that’s impossible. Well, to our knowledge it’s impossible. Usually all I need is their scent and I can see their futures. “Sorry Jasper but I don’t see them at all.” “Maybe they won’t come at all. Hopefully our paths accidentally crossed, hopefully.” “Jasper let’s just go to a store if they are following us then they wouldn’t even try to go in the store.” “Ok. Let’s go.” We both turned and started walking but a lot faster than we were walking. We both just wanted to get away from there just in case.
“See anything yet?” “Jasper you’ve been asking that every two seconds. Can 당신 give me a break? I saw nothing, I see nothing, and I doubt I’ll ever see something but I must admit the smell has been getting stronger.” He started walking right past me. An army man who’s scared half to death of someone who might not even be following us. “Alice could 당신 hurry?” “About ten 분 이전 당신 were begging me not to go to a store and now you’re begging to go to the store.” “Well Ten 분 이전 I was afraid of being shopped to death. Now I’m afraid I’m going to have to fight someone for you……again 또는 fighting for 당신 to get off someone 또는 fight because they started fighting.” “Hey, I thought we were going to drop that.” “I thought 당신 were going to walk faster.” “Quit it, we aren’t 연기 like ourselves already do we have to push each other over the edge?” “You’re right I’m sorry Alice.” “It’s ok but I was being serious when I said the smell was getting stronger but now it’s stronger than before.” “I know. I wonder what they want.” He turned his head to look at me. “I told 당신 I see nothing. I hear nothing and I smell something. Isn’t that good enough?” “No. When 당신 see something then it’ll be good enough.” Then something stepped out from a 나무, 트리 in front of us.
“Well, it looks like 당신 didn’t have long to wait. Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe your names are Alice and Jasper.” I was speechless. She was tall with black eyes and she had flaming red hair but she had it short. I stopped walking but Jasper kept going. “Jasper? What are 당신 doing? “I’m hoping she’s not there that’s what I’m doing.” “Now my feelings are hurt. Believe me when I say we come in peace. Corny I know but true. We mean no harm. Once again corny but true. I feel like an alien from outer 우주 from one of those old movies.” She started laughing. What’s so funny? She pops out of no where and I’m panicking because I didn’t see her come out from the 나무, 트리 until after she actually did it and Jasper’s running like a fool. “Jasper would 당신 get over here?!” “Not until it goes away!” “For your information I’m not an it, I’m a she and they are a they.” She pointed in front of Jasper but it was where he was headed. He passed her but before he could go any further four other 뱀파이어 grabbed him and started carrying him back. They had to bring him back kicking and screaming, literally. I have never seen Jasper do that! Kicking, screaming, and biting? I thought he was above that kind of stuff. Well, unless he needed to do that but like she said they mean no harm and they come in peace. That does sound corny. “Would 당신 put me down? Can’t I go anywhere without people doing this?” “Doing what? Carrying 당신 back like a baby?” One of the men carrying him looked at me. He was big but he was smaller than Emmett but taller than Edward, he had brown hair but his hair was like a buzz cut and he had black eyes too. “How many times does he get carried like this?” “Umm actually this is the first.” “And the kicking and screaming?” “First time.” “Huh.” They put him down right 다음 to me and walked over to the woman. “Well here 당신 go. Now you’re on the ground. Don’t make a run for it 또는 we’ll have to hold 당신 down.” Another woman turned to me. “You tell us if he’s going to try anything. You’ll be the first to know when he’s planning it.” “He already is.” “Alice!” “Jasper! He’s trying to beat the odds in his head. He was planning on me following him but he wasn’t planning on staying much longer.” “Alice!” Well it’s true!” “It may be true but 당신 didn’t have to tell them!” “Would 당신 stop that! All the math you’re doing in your head is giving me a headache!” “Well they’re giving me a headache!” “And that’s my fault?!” “Yes! If you’ve walked faster then…..” “Would 당신 shut up?! If I would’ve walked faster than they would’ve walked faster anyway!” “I’m sorry to interrupt but this is no time to fight; besides we weren’t planning on fighting 당신 anyway. We just wanted to discuss something with you.” “Now 당신 see that Jasper you’re making me fight with 당신 over nothing.” “I’m making 당신 fight with me? You’re making me fight with you!” “I am not, you’re the one……..” “WOULD THE BOTH OF 당신 SHUT THE HELL UP?! YOU’RE GIVING ME A BLOODY HEADACHE!” He was very short and had blonde hair with red eyes and a British accent. “That’s quite enough from 당신 Cedric.” “Yeah well that’s enough of them I could take. They would’ve done the same damn thing over and over and over.” “Come on man shut up. We’ve heard 당신 complain the whole time too. You’re not the only one with a headache.” Uh-oh. I go to get there attention. “HEY!” “WHAT!” Three voices shouted at me at the same time. “You might want to start running.” “Why?” “Well, Jasper’s almost out of the country.” “SON OF A……” “THIS IS NO TIME TO BE CURSING CEDRIC!!!!! JUST RUN!!!!!!” “You know where he’s going?” “Of course. Africa 의해 the looks of it. He’s still trying to figure out if he should go there 또는 America and if he should come back for me.” Then Cedric and the one fighting with Cedric left. It was the same one who asked me those questions. I should feel mad, depressed, and betrayed but I don’t. I should be wondering why he’s running but I’m not. I’m just curious to know what the hell is going on here and why the other woman is so familiar. “What are their names?” I pointed to the woman and the man who didn’t say anything yet. “That’s Sierra and that’s Maxwell but just call him Max. I’m Franny but everyone calls me Fran.” Max was medium sized with black hair but with a gray streak in it that looked like a lightening bolt, his eyes were red like Cedric’s and Sierra was about Rosalie’s size and had long black hair down to her knees but her eyes were gold like mine. “Well Fran, Max might want to 가입하기 Cedric and the other guy.” “Why I’m sure Cedric and Frank can handle Jasper 의해 themselves.” “Then obviously 당신 don’t know Jasper as well as I do. Max.” He looked at me. “Go with Cedric and Frank.” He shook his head. “NOW!” He started running in the right direction. “I’m sorry Fran but if he wouldn’t go then I would never get Jasper back over here and 당신 would never be able to ask the question.” “I have to ask the two of 당신 the 질문 separately anyway.” “Then go ahead and ask me.” I have a feeling this will be very, very odd.
“Alice I’m a shield. I block physical, mental, and physic powers. Like yours. Jasper’s power is the one exception to my shield and we’re not sure why. We have come across Jasper once before. We were following Peter&Charlotte a long, long time 이전 and then Jasper joined them. We found Jasper very interesting. So we wanted to ask him a 질문 but then he left Peter&Charlotte and so we decided since we wanted to ask him a 질문 we’d follow him instead but he got to where he was going to quickly and we didn’t have enough time to ask him.” “Why didn’t 당신 ask him straight out instead of following him?” “I was getting to that.” “Sorry.” “He was going somewhere we weren’t sure where so we stayed a distance. He went somewhere 당신 should remember quite clearly. After he finished what he was doing he came out not alone but with you. We decided since he found a better life we would leave him alone but then we came across three brothers. 당신 should know them very well too. Especially……” “Don’t 당신 say that name!” “Fine. So we decided to follow them since they had such an interesting past and they were very funny to watch. We asked all three of them the 질문 and only one said yes.” “Robert.” “Exactly. He thought it would be funny to travel the world and show off his guns?” “His muscles.” “Ah. 당신 know we never understood that, anyway when he realized he was the only one who said yes he backed out. We still followed them because William looked as if he desperately wanted to say yes to the question. So we followed them just in case they change their minds. We were about to stop following them when we noticed Jasper was with them. We thought it was a perfect time to ask the question.” “Oh that explains what he said earlier.” “The reason we thought it was perfect was because we thought he left you.” “So quick to judge.” “I’m sorry Alice, we just wanted to ask the 질문 to Jasper and we thought he got bored with his old life like he did with Peter&Charlotte and decided to leave but obviously he didn’t.” “Yeah well he came very very close.” “We know.” What the hell? Do they do this for a living? Follow vampire after vampire coven after coven. It’s madness! I never thought 뱀파이어 had to worry about stalkers!
“We saw what happened and we really thought the separation was permanent.” “It looked that way to me too.” “We know but that Katrina had to butt in and tell 당신 this and tell 당신 that and told 당신 not to go to the Volturi, and she ruined everything. Sorry.” “No problem.” Yeah it’s really no problem, 당신 sit here insult me and then go and insult my best friend and then stalk my husband to a point when he’s about to loose his mind when he’s already 연기 insane. All for a question? I don’t get it. “So we followed him and right when we were about to come out of the shadows he starts running straight for you! we were so mad, we knew 당신 were going to take him back but we saw the tension between the two of 당신 and well we thought another fight 또는 something would happen and the separation would happen again and if it did we wouldn’t wait, as soon as 당신 two were apart we were going to ask him the question. It was Cedric’s idea to just stop the both of 당신 and ask 당신 both the question.” “I would understand this a whole lot better if 당신 told me what the 질문 was 또는 if 당신 would drop your shield.” “If I drop my shield even for a 초 our whole family is vulnerable, like I’d put them in danger like that. I’ll tell 당신 the 질문 as soon as I tell 당신 one 더 많이 thing.” “Fine tell me so I can get this mess over with so I can get Jasper back and go get my anti-depressant.” “Really? I didn’t know we could have anti-depressants.” “I meant shopping my anti-depressant is shopping.” “Why? Shopping is so dull and boring.” I thought a woman would understand. Any woman who has a problem either eats, (Can’t do that) 또는 shops with her friends. I have a few girlfriends to hang out with Bella, Rosalie, and as soon as she gets older Renesmee. So it’s either shopping 또는 I loose all hope and be upset and snap at people all the time. Like Rosalie. “Shopping is not dull and boring. You’re getting off track just tell me the one thing 당신 wanted to tell me before 당신 ask me the question.” “Boy are 당신 impatient.” “I’ll show 당신 impatient if 당신 don’t shut up and get to the damn point.” Uh-oh. First sign of a fight I start snapping.
“Frank can see the past instead of the future and if he touches 당신 he can allow 당신 to see your past. People’s past is much 더 많이 interesting than their future, that’s what make us follow certain people. We go 의해 what their past is. It’s interesting because he sees their human past and vampire past. When we first saw 당신 he saw only a brief part of your human past. He only saw your friend, your closest friend when 당신 were in an insane asylum. We thought Jasper was crazy for going with 당신 but it turns out it was the other way around. No offense.” “It’s ok.” Ha, ha, ha make fun of the crazy people. 초 sign of a fight I’m dreaming of killing her. I really hope Jasper gets back soon. Speak of the devil.
Looks like our good 프렌즈 Mr. Past and Mr. Bloody hell found my husband in the ocean and Mr. No is right behind them. Jasper once again starts to go faster. They got him, he’s kicking and screaming again, and now they are carrying him back here while the whole time Jasper is cursing and trying to get away.
“You might want to ask me that 질문 now.” “Why?” “Because I know three people whose carrying one important person, who’s headed this way.” “Right. Fine.” I might have to kill her, depending on what the 질문 is. “We want 당신 to 가입하기 us.” Oh my god, she has to be joking! I started laughing. “No, never.” “But if 당신 choose to 가입하기 us all the things 당신 can’t remember from your human life 당신 could know now and you’ll be able to remember everything. Forever and ever. Isn’t that what 당신 want most Alice? To know everything 당신 used to know. To remember your mom, your dad, and your sister. Don’t 당신 want to remember the good times 당신 had with them? Your birthdays? Everything? To get to actually see them again? Isn’t that why 당신 tried to find your papers from the Insane Asylum? To see when 당신 got there and if 당신 had a sister 또는 brother 또는 any living relative. We could give 당신 a lot 더 많이 than outdated papers my friend. So….you in 또는 out?”
I can’t believe it. My years of searching for a picture 또는 one solid document to tell me everything I need to know and all I had to do was find Frank before he found these fools. I 사랑 my new family a lot but do I 사랑 my old family more? She really did make me an offer that’s hard to refuse. Should I? Should I really go for it? Should I abandon my 검색 for a half breed like Renesmee? Should I abandon everything I have for this? How do I know she’s really telling the truth? Sure she guessed about my best friend and my 검색 for my papers from the insane asylum but how long has she been following us? She says since Jasper found Robert and William but she also said she saw him first with Peter and Charlotte. So if she is a shield she can block her mind like Bella can. This explains why Edward can’t read Bella’s thoughts. So she could have been following my whole family for months with no detection. “Well? Are 당신 in 또는 out?” “Would 당신 give me a damn second?! This is a lot to take in! I mean I either stay with my new family 또는 see my old family again! It’s a decision that I have to think about!” “I understand but can 당신 take a break and tell me if they’re almost here and if you’re leaning to yes 또는 no.” I closed my mind and tried to block out everything else.
There is a problem. Jasper got out of there grasp but Cedric tackled him and now they have him under control again. “Your first answer is they should be here in another twenty 분 and to answer your 초 question…..” I can’t believe this. “I’m actually leaning toward a yes.” “Great! This is awesome if we have 당신 on our side we won’t only be able to see the potential in 뱀파이어 from their past but now their future too! This would be perfect! Welcome aboard!” “Whoa, whoa, whoa, I said I was leaning toward yes I never said a definite yes. I have a 질문 for you.” “Go ahead! If this is something that might help get 당신 in our family then ask away!” “How do I know he really sees the past?” “Ah! The same 질문 they all ask! As soon as Frank comes back I’ll get him to show 당신 a sneak peek of your human life!” “Alright. What about Jasper?” “Well if he knows 당신 said yes……” “I didn’t yet.” “Ah ha! The keyword! Yet! Anyway if 당신 do say yes then after he says no. 당신 know he will because he’ll think 당신 said no. Anyway after we tell 당신 to come with us he’ll change his mind and he’ll come too. Perfect plan isn’t it?!” “So Jasper has a definite place here?” “Of course! 당신 both do! And if 당신 both say no then we will never bother 당신 again but if 당신 change your mind then find us. You’ll always be welcomed with us!” “Ok. I need 더 많이 time to think.” “Oh, I’m sorry but 당신 and Jasper can’t see each other when they get here not until 당신 both give us an answer. So Sierra? Can 당신 bring Alice behind those trees over there? And make sure she’s comfortable!” “Sure. Alice come with me please.” “No offense Fran but I’ll never be comfortable until my decision is made.” “Good! Because neither will I.” “Oh and Fran?” “Yeah?” “They’re here.” “GREAT!! I’ll have to put a shield around Jasper too. We don’t want 당신 to cheat on 당신 test. Now go, go, go!!! Sierra take her quickly!” “Come on Alice.”
We’re both trying to pretend that never happened. That there was no Coven in London, There wasn’t a fight, no sisters, no brothers, no anything. I didn’t want to forget them, but I didn’t want to remember a few things either. I haven’t been very perceptive these past few days. I haven’t seen much and I haven’t looked much. I guess it’s because it’s no use to look for something I can’t see. We’re still in Europe. It’s still dark but not much longer. From what I did see it was suppose to be cloudy. We decided 유럽 was still the best place to look. All of a sudden Jasper stopped.
“What’s wrong Jasper?” He had a confused look on his face. “I have a feeling we’re being followed. Do 당신 see anything?” “Sit down and I’ll look.” He sat down and stared at the sky, I started to look around. I didn’t see much, a few squirrels, a deer 또는 two, a raccoon, and a few Grizzly Bears. Emmett’s favorite. This doesn’t help much, I’m already in an almost depression from being away from home, now I have to start seeing things that remind me of them. “Unless 당신 mean we’re being followed 의해 creatures of the forest I don’t see anything following us. Maybe we should hunt, that might take the feeling away.” “Alice, I don’t think that’s it. I felt it when I was in 런던 too. I felt five different emotions when I was with William and Robert. It was brief so I couldn’t really tell where they were but I know what I felt and it was oddly familiar too.” He’s been pretending that the snake never existed. He’s been pretending there were three sisters and two brothers. I’m happy about that. “Jasper, just come and hunt with me. Please? It might help. Plus we would’ve stopped and hunted a little later anyways.” He stopped staring at the sky and looked at me, “Alice? Do 당신 here that? 당신 have to hear that!” I turned to the bush, I heard it. It was a small brushing noise. I walked over to the 부시, 부시 대통령은 very carefully, if Jasper was right and something was following us I’m not taking any chances. Besides nothing in 유럽 has been very friendly. Even Laura, Katrina, and Nala had a temper problem. Before I got to the 부시, 부시 대통령은 something came out from behind it, a raccoon. “Jasper? It’s just a little raccoon. Are 당신 sure you’re okay? 당신 really should hunt. You’re 연기 a little paranoid.” He was staring at the raccoon. “Yeah, I’ll hunt with you. You’re probably right, but Alice if I am right and someone is following us 당신 are getting a very big I told 당신 so.” He smiled. “Stop smiling Mr. Paranoid and come on. Go find something to hunt.”
He got up. “I don’t know about 당신 but I’m in the mood for bear. 당신 see any?” “A few. Up the 언덕, 힐 a little ways.” He started walking towards the bears. He turned to look back at me. “You coming?” “Yeah but I think I’ll find a deer.” He caught on to what I was talking about. “Okay. I bet 당신 I can get the biggest one though.” “Jasper, I’m not falling for it.” “Okay but I know why 당신 doing that. You’re afraid I’ll get the biggest bear.” “I would get the bigger 곰 but since I’m hunting deer the 곰 is all yours and F.Y.I, I’m not afraid, I would get the biggest bear. Now go get your 곰 while I go get a lamb. Deer!” Great I’m making mistakes all the time now. Edward’s 가장 좋아하는 saying. Anything else I should be reminded of? Do I get to see a woman who’s tall and has blonde hair? 또는 a girl who’s very clumsy and shy? “Okay Mrs. Lamb. I’ll go get a Grizzly and 당신 go get your deer, Dear.” “Very funny.” I followed him until he got his 곰 it was the biggest but it didn’t go down without a fight. “Damn it! That’s my only shirt! Stupid bear.” I mocked him “I bet I can get the biggest one though. Jasper, just go get the 초 biggest 곰 before he rips your pants too.” “No. I said I could get it and I will.” “Fine tell me how it goes.” The deer wasn’t very far away. I took him down in a second. It wasn’t very filling but it was good enough. I sat on a rock and waited for him to come back.
“Hey there.” I turned around. Not only was his 셔츠 ripped but so was a part of his pants. “I told 당신 so.” “Hey. I was going to say that later. When it turns out I’m right.” “So, 당신 take down the 곰 또는 did the 곰 get away?” “No. I took him down. It was fun.” “I’m happy you’re feeling better. But 당신 realize now we have to get 당신 new clothes which means we have to go to town and find a store!” That wiped the smile off his face, just like it does to anyone who knows me. “Alice, no. No, no way!” “Yes way! I told 당신 to leave that 곰 alone and 당신 didn’t so now 당신 get to go on a shopping spree with me!!” He looked like he was sick. “You know I got that weird feeling again.” “Don’t even try it.” He had a smile on his face again; he looked like a kid who woke up on 크리스마스 with the toy of his dreams. “Oh no. We don’t have any money.” He put a little frown on his face. “I thought of that. I took a few thousand dollars before we left. We’re covered.” He didn’t loose hope. “But it must be ruined from when we went swimming.” “I thought of that. I put the money in a waterproof wallet.” “Where’s the wallet?” “The wallet is in my pocket. Safe.” Now he 로스트 hope. Nothing scares my family 더 많이 than one of my shopping sprees. James, Victoria, and Laurent looked like flies compared to my shopping sprees. It’s even worse for Emmett, Carlisle, Jasper, and Edward. What boy wants his sister 또는 wife to 샵 for clothes for them? Not mine. Too bad, Jasper is just gonna have to suffer for an hour, maybe two, make it three. “Now come on. It’s almost sunrise, and we’re going to the nearest mall 또는 nearest clothes store. I hate shopping like this but I have no time to look for designer clothes.” He had another smile on his face.
“Alice. My 셔츠 and pants are ripped. 당신 know the saying. No shoes no 셔츠 no service.” He thinks he’s going to wiggle his way out of this. He’s not going to get out of this one. “Jasper? Ever heard of a bribe? A few hundred dollars will convince any store manager to let me shop. No matter what the consequences are.” “Fine, slap on the cuffs and drag me to the store. How long will we be in there?” “An 시간 또는 two, maybe three.” “Oh no.” “Oh yes. Jasper you’ve handled worse things than that. Remember the last time we went shopping together?” “Yeah. We were in there since 6:00 a.m and left around midnight. Talk about a bribe. I can’t believe 당신 made that manager make the store stay open longer.” “Flirting goes a long way when 당신 dress like this.” “Yeah well I didn’t like that bribe.” “He sure did.” “That’s why I didn’t like it, that and because he let us stay in there longer! I thought nothing could kill us but your shopping sprees kill everyone.” He smiled a goofy grin. “Stop smiling and come on.” We started walking. “We need to get to a store before all the good clothes are gone.” He stopped right where he was. I kept walking.
“Jasper no matter how many times 당신 stop I’m getting 당신 to a store!” I stopped and turned around. He was 겨울왕국 again just like when he thought someone was following us. “Jasper, don’t start that again. No one is following us. 당신 just don’t want me to get 당신 to a store.” “Alice, I hate going to a store with 당신 but I told 당신 I surrendered. I was going to go with 당신 with no trouble.” “Then come on.” “Alice, I 사랑 to say this to you, I told 당신 so. I betted against 당신 and I was right. So I told 당신 so, I told 당신 so, I told 당신 so! At least try and pay attention to your surroundings.” “I don’t see anyone and I don’t smell anyone. What’s your point?” “Yeah but I feel something.” “Your nerves about going to a store?” “Alice, I’m being very serious!” “I’m sorry; ok what do 당신 feel now?” “Five different emotions besides ours.” 당신 would think he would realize where we are. “Jasper, we’re in the forest. Have 당신 ever heard of Hikers?” “Alice, this is no time for sarcasm.” “Sorry.” I really haven’t been myself since we left, neither of us has been. “They’re getting closer……” There was a breeze so I took a deep breath. Jasper wasn’t feeling hikers. He was right. “Jasper. Go ahead.” “I….TOLD....YOU….SO. Can 당신 see anything?” I looked around. “I don’t see anything.” “Do 당신 see them coming our way anytime soon?”
No. I don’t see them coming but I don’t see them at all. It’s either because I don’t know them 또는 it’s because someone isn’t letting me see them but that’s impossible. Well, to our knowledge it’s impossible. Usually all I need is their scent and I can see their futures. “Sorry Jasper but I don’t see them at all.” “Maybe they won’t come at all. Hopefully our paths accidentally crossed, hopefully.” “Jasper let’s just go to a store if they are following us then they wouldn’t even try to go in the store.” “Ok. Let’s go.” We both turned and started walking but a lot faster than we were walking. We both just wanted to get away from there just in case.
“See anything yet?” “Jasper you’ve been asking that every two seconds. Can 당신 give me a break? I saw nothing, I see nothing, and I doubt I’ll ever see something but I must admit the smell has been getting stronger.” He started walking right past me. An army man who’s scared half to death of someone who might not even be following us. “Alice could 당신 hurry?” “About ten 분 이전 당신 were begging me not to go to a store and now you’re begging to go to the store.” “Well Ten 분 이전 I was afraid of being shopped to death. Now I’m afraid I’m going to have to fight someone for you……again 또는 fighting for 당신 to get off someone 또는 fight because they started fighting.” “Hey, I thought we were going to drop that.” “I thought 당신 were going to walk faster.” “Quit it, we aren’t 연기 like ourselves already do we have to push each other over the edge?” “You’re right I’m sorry Alice.” “It’s ok but I was being serious when I said the smell was getting stronger but now it’s stronger than before.” “I know. I wonder what they want.” He turned his head to look at me. “I told 당신 I see nothing. I hear nothing and I smell something. Isn’t that good enough?” “No. When 당신 see something then it’ll be good enough.” Then something stepped out from a 나무, 트리 in front of us.
“Well, it looks like 당신 didn’t have long to wait. Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe your names are Alice and Jasper.” I was speechless. She was tall with black eyes and she had flaming red hair but she had it short. I stopped walking but Jasper kept going. “Jasper? What are 당신 doing? “I’m hoping she’s not there that’s what I’m doing.” “Now my feelings are hurt. Believe me when I say we come in peace. Corny I know but true. We mean no harm. Once again corny but true. I feel like an alien from outer 우주 from one of those old movies.” She started laughing. What’s so funny? She pops out of no where and I’m panicking because I didn’t see her come out from the 나무, 트리 until after she actually did it and Jasper’s running like a fool. “Jasper would 당신 get over here?!” “Not until it goes away!” “For your information I’m not an it, I’m a she and they are a they.” She pointed in front of Jasper but it was where he was headed. He passed her but before he could go any further four other 뱀파이어 grabbed him and started carrying him back. They had to bring him back kicking and screaming, literally. I have never seen Jasper do that! Kicking, screaming, and biting? I thought he was above that kind of stuff. Well, unless he needed to do that but like she said they mean no harm and they come in peace. That does sound corny. “Would 당신 put me down? Can’t I go anywhere without people doing this?” “Doing what? Carrying 당신 back like a baby?” One of the men carrying him looked at me. He was big but he was smaller than Emmett but taller than Edward, he had brown hair but his hair was like a buzz cut and he had black eyes too. “How many times does he get carried like this?” “Umm actually this is the first.” “And the kicking and screaming?” “First time.” “Huh.” They put him down right 다음 to me and walked over to the woman. “Well here 당신 go. Now you’re on the ground. Don’t make a run for it 또는 we’ll have to hold 당신 down.” Another woman turned to me. “You tell us if he’s going to try anything. You’ll be the first to know when he’s planning it.” “He already is.” “Alice!” “Jasper! He’s trying to beat the odds in his head. He was planning on me following him but he wasn’t planning on staying much longer.” “Alice!” Well it’s true!” “It may be true but 당신 didn’t have to tell them!” “Would 당신 stop that! All the math you’re doing in your head is giving me a headache!” “Well they’re giving me a headache!” “And that’s my fault?!” “Yes! If you’ve walked faster then…..” “Would 당신 shut up?! If I would’ve walked faster than they would’ve walked faster anyway!” “I’m sorry to interrupt but this is no time to fight; besides we weren’t planning on fighting 당신 anyway. We just wanted to discuss something with you.” “Now 당신 see that Jasper you’re making me fight with 당신 over nothing.” “I’m making 당신 fight with me? You’re making me fight with you!” “I am not, you’re the one……..” “WOULD THE BOTH OF 당신 SHUT THE HELL UP?! YOU’RE GIVING ME A BLOODY HEADACHE!” He was very short and had blonde hair with red eyes and a British accent. “That’s quite enough from 당신 Cedric.” “Yeah well that’s enough of them I could take. They would’ve done the same damn thing over and over and over.” “Come on man shut up. We’ve heard 당신 complain the whole time too. You’re not the only one with a headache.” Uh-oh. I go to get there attention. “HEY!” “WHAT!” Three voices shouted at me at the same time. “You might want to start running.” “Why?” “Well, Jasper’s almost out of the country.” “SON OF A……” “THIS IS NO TIME TO BE CURSING CEDRIC!!!!! JUST RUN!!!!!!” “You know where he’s going?” “Of course. Africa 의해 the looks of it. He’s still trying to figure out if he should go there 또는 America and if he should come back for me.” Then Cedric and the one fighting with Cedric left. It was the same one who asked me those questions. I should feel mad, depressed, and betrayed but I don’t. I should be wondering why he’s running but I’m not. I’m just curious to know what the hell is going on here and why the other woman is so familiar. “What are their names?” I pointed to the woman and the man who didn’t say anything yet. “That’s Sierra and that’s Maxwell but just call him Max. I’m Franny but everyone calls me Fran.” Max was medium sized with black hair but with a gray streak in it that looked like a lightening bolt, his eyes were red like Cedric’s and Sierra was about Rosalie’s size and had long black hair down to her knees but her eyes were gold like mine. “Well Fran, Max might want to 가입하기 Cedric and the other guy.” “Why I’m sure Cedric and Frank can handle Jasper 의해 themselves.” “Then obviously 당신 don’t know Jasper as well as I do. Max.” He looked at me. “Go with Cedric and Frank.” He shook his head. “NOW!” He started running in the right direction. “I’m sorry Fran but if he wouldn’t go then I would never get Jasper back over here and 당신 would never be able to ask the question.” “I have to ask the two of 당신 the 질문 separately anyway.” “Then go ahead and ask me.” I have a feeling this will be very, very odd.
“Alice I’m a shield. I block physical, mental, and physic powers. Like yours. Jasper’s power is the one exception to my shield and we’re not sure why. We have come across Jasper once before. We were following Peter&Charlotte a long, long time 이전 and then Jasper joined them. We found Jasper very interesting. So we wanted to ask him a 질문 but then he left Peter&Charlotte and so we decided since we wanted to ask him a 질문 we’d follow him instead but he got to where he was going to quickly and we didn’t have enough time to ask him.” “Why didn’t 당신 ask him straight out instead of following him?” “I was getting to that.” “Sorry.” “He was going somewhere we weren’t sure where so we stayed a distance. He went somewhere 당신 should remember quite clearly. After he finished what he was doing he came out not alone but with you. We decided since he found a better life we would leave him alone but then we came across three brothers. 당신 should know them very well too. Especially……” “Don’t 당신 say that name!” “Fine. So we decided to follow them since they had such an interesting past and they were very funny to watch. We asked all three of them the 질문 and only one said yes.” “Robert.” “Exactly. He thought it would be funny to travel the world and show off his guns?” “His muscles.” “Ah. 당신 know we never understood that, anyway when he realized he was the only one who said yes he backed out. We still followed them because William looked as if he desperately wanted to say yes to the question. So we followed them just in case they change their minds. We were about to stop following them when we noticed Jasper was with them. We thought it was a perfect time to ask the question.” “Oh that explains what he said earlier.” “The reason we thought it was perfect was because we thought he left you.” “So quick to judge.” “I’m sorry Alice, we just wanted to ask the 질문 to Jasper and we thought he got bored with his old life like he did with Peter&Charlotte and decided to leave but obviously he didn’t.” “Yeah well he came very very close.” “We know.” What the hell? Do they do this for a living? Follow vampire after vampire coven after coven. It’s madness! I never thought 뱀파이어 had to worry about stalkers!
“We saw what happened and we really thought the separation was permanent.” “It looked that way to me too.” “We know but that Katrina had to butt in and tell 당신 this and tell 당신 that and told 당신 not to go to the Volturi, and she ruined everything. Sorry.” “No problem.” Yeah it’s really no problem, 당신 sit here insult me and then go and insult my best friend and then stalk my husband to a point when he’s about to loose his mind when he’s already 연기 insane. All for a question? I don’t get it. “So we followed him and right when we were about to come out of the shadows he starts running straight for you! we were so mad, we knew 당신 were going to take him back but we saw the tension between the two of 당신 and well we thought another fight 또는 something would happen and the separation would happen again and if it did we wouldn’t wait, as soon as 당신 two were apart we were going to ask him the question. It was Cedric’s idea to just stop the both of 당신 and ask 당신 both the question.” “I would understand this a whole lot better if 당신 told me what the 질문 was 또는 if 당신 would drop your shield.” “If I drop my shield even for a 초 our whole family is vulnerable, like I’d put them in danger like that. I’ll tell 당신 the 질문 as soon as I tell 당신 one 더 많이 thing.” “Fine tell me so I can get this mess over with so I can get Jasper back and go get my anti-depressant.” “Really? I didn’t know we could have anti-depressants.” “I meant shopping my anti-depressant is shopping.” “Why? Shopping is so dull and boring.” I thought a woman would understand. Any woman who has a problem either eats, (Can’t do that) 또는 shops with her friends. I have a few girlfriends to hang out with Bella, Rosalie, and as soon as she gets older Renesmee. So it’s either shopping 또는 I loose all hope and be upset and snap at people all the time. Like Rosalie. “Shopping is not dull and boring. You’re getting off track just tell me the one thing 당신 wanted to tell me before 당신 ask me the question.” “Boy are 당신 impatient.” “I’ll show 당신 impatient if 당신 don’t shut up and get to the damn point.” Uh-oh. First sign of a fight I start snapping.
“Frank can see the past instead of the future and if he touches 당신 he can allow 당신 to see your past. People’s past is much 더 많이 interesting than their future, that’s what make us follow certain people. We go 의해 what their past is. It’s interesting because he sees their human past and vampire past. When we first saw 당신 he saw only a brief part of your human past. He only saw your friend, your closest friend when 당신 were in an insane asylum. We thought Jasper was crazy for going with 당신 but it turns out it was the other way around. No offense.” “It’s ok.” Ha, ha, ha make fun of the crazy people. 초 sign of a fight I’m dreaming of killing her. I really hope Jasper gets back soon. Speak of the devil.
Looks like our good 프렌즈 Mr. Past and Mr. Bloody hell found my husband in the ocean and Mr. No is right behind them. Jasper once again starts to go faster. They got him, he’s kicking and screaming again, and now they are carrying him back here while the whole time Jasper is cursing and trying to get away.
“You might want to ask me that 질문 now.” “Why?” “Because I know three people whose carrying one important person, who’s headed this way.” “Right. Fine.” I might have to kill her, depending on what the 질문 is. “We want 당신 to 가입하기 us.” Oh my god, she has to be joking! I started laughing. “No, never.” “But if 당신 choose to 가입하기 us all the things 당신 can’t remember from your human life 당신 could know now and you’ll be able to remember everything. Forever and ever. Isn’t that what 당신 want most Alice? To know everything 당신 used to know. To remember your mom, your dad, and your sister. Don’t 당신 want to remember the good times 당신 had with them? Your birthdays? Everything? To get to actually see them again? Isn’t that why 당신 tried to find your papers from the Insane Asylum? To see when 당신 got there and if 당신 had a sister 또는 brother 또는 any living relative. We could give 당신 a lot 더 많이 than outdated papers my friend. So….you in 또는 out?”
I can’t believe it. My years of searching for a picture 또는 one solid document to tell me everything I need to know and all I had to do was find Frank before he found these fools. I 사랑 my new family a lot but do I 사랑 my old family more? She really did make me an offer that’s hard to refuse. Should I? Should I really go for it? Should I abandon my 검색 for a half breed like Renesmee? Should I abandon everything I have for this? How do I know she’s really telling the truth? Sure she guessed about my best friend and my 검색 for my papers from the insane asylum but how long has she been following us? She says since Jasper found Robert and William but she also said she saw him first with Peter and Charlotte. So if she is a shield she can block her mind like Bella can. This explains why Edward can’t read Bella’s thoughts. So she could have been following my whole family for months with no detection. “Well? Are 당신 in 또는 out?” “Would 당신 give me a damn second?! This is a lot to take in! I mean I either stay with my new family 또는 see my old family again! It’s a decision that I have to think about!” “I understand but can 당신 take a break and tell me if they’re almost here and if you’re leaning to yes 또는 no.” I closed my mind and tried to block out everything else.
There is a problem. Jasper got out of there grasp but Cedric tackled him and now they have him under control again. “Your first answer is they should be here in another twenty 분 and to answer your 초 question…..” I can’t believe this. “I’m actually leaning toward a yes.” “Great! This is awesome if we have 당신 on our side we won’t only be able to see the potential in 뱀파이어 from their past but now their future too! This would be perfect! Welcome aboard!” “Whoa, whoa, whoa, I said I was leaning toward yes I never said a definite yes. I have a 질문 for you.” “Go ahead! If this is something that might help get 당신 in our family then ask away!” “How do I know he really sees the past?” “Ah! The same 질문 they all ask! As soon as Frank comes back I’ll get him to show 당신 a sneak peek of your human life!” “Alright. What about Jasper?” “Well if he knows 당신 said yes……” “I didn’t yet.” “Ah ha! The keyword! Yet! Anyway if 당신 do say yes then after he says no. 당신 know he will because he’ll think 당신 said no. Anyway after we tell 당신 to come with us he’ll change his mind and he’ll come too. Perfect plan isn’t it?!” “So Jasper has a definite place here?” “Of course! 당신 both do! And if 당신 both say no then we will never bother 당신 again but if 당신 change your mind then find us. You’ll always be welcomed with us!” “Ok. I need 더 많이 time to think.” “Oh, I’m sorry but 당신 and Jasper can’t see each other when they get here not until 당신 both give us an answer. So Sierra? Can 당신 bring Alice behind those trees over there? And make sure she’s comfortable!” “Sure. Alice come with me please.” “No offense Fran but I’ll never be comfortable until my decision is made.” “Good! Because neither will I.” “Oh and Fran?” “Yeah?” “They’re here.” “GREAT!! I’ll have to put a shield around Jasper too. We don’t want 당신 to cheat on 당신 test. Now go, go, go!!! Sierra take her quickly!” “Come on Alice.”
“What’s wrong Jasper?” He had a confused look on his face. “I have a feeling we’re being followed. Do 당신 see anything?” “Sit down and I’ll look.” He sat down and stared at the sky, I started to look around. I didn’t see much, a few squirrels, a deer 또는 two, a raccoon, and a few Grizzly Bears. Emmett’s favorite. This doesn’t help much, I’m already in an almost depression from being away from home, now I have to start seeing things that remind me of them. “Unless 당신 mean we’re being followed 의해 creatures of the forest I don’t see anything following us. Maybe we should hunt, that might take the feeling away.” “Alice, I don’t think that’s it. I felt it when I was in 런던 too. I felt five different emotions when I was with William and Robert. It was brief so I couldn’t really tell where they were but I know what I felt and it was oddly familiar too.” He’s been pretending that the snake never existed. He’s been pretending there were three sisters and two brothers. I’m happy about that. “Jasper, just come and hunt with me. Please? It might help. Plus we would’ve stopped and hunted a little later anyways.” He stopped staring at the sky and looked at me, “Alice? Do 당신 here that? 당신 have to hear that!” I turned to the bush, I heard it. It was a small brushing noise. I walked over to the 부시, 부시 대통령은 very carefully, if Jasper was right and something was following us I’m not taking any chances. Besides nothing in 유럽 has been very friendly. Even Laura, Katrina, and Nala had a temper problem. Before I got to the 부시, 부시 대통령은 something came out from behind it, a raccoon. “Jasper? It’s just a little raccoon. Are 당신 sure you’re okay? 당신 really should hunt. You’re 연기 a little paranoid.” He was staring at the raccoon. “Yeah, I’ll hunt with you. You’re probably right, but Alice if I am right and someone is following us 당신 are getting a very big I told 당신 so.” He smiled. “Stop smiling Mr. Paranoid and come on. Go find something to hunt.”
He got up. “I don’t know about 당신 but I’m in the mood for bear. 당신 see any?” “A few. Up the 언덕, 힐 a little ways.” He started walking towards the bears. He turned to look back at me. “You coming?” “Yeah but I think I’ll find a deer.” He caught on to what I was talking about. “Okay. I bet 당신 I can get the biggest one though.” “Jasper, I’m not falling for it.” “Okay but I know why 당신 doing that. You’re afraid I’ll get the biggest bear.” “I would get the bigger 곰 but since I’m hunting deer the 곰 is all yours and F.Y.I, I’m not afraid, I would get the biggest bear. Now go get your 곰 while I go get a lamb. Deer!” Great I’m making mistakes all the time now. Edward’s 가장 좋아하는 saying. Anything else I should be reminded of? Do I get to see a woman who’s tall and has blonde hair? 또는 a girl who’s very clumsy and shy? “Okay Mrs. Lamb. I’ll go get a Grizzly and 당신 go get your deer, Dear.” “Very funny.” I followed him until he got his 곰 it was the biggest but it didn’t go down without a fight. “Damn it! That’s my only shirt! Stupid bear.” I mocked him “I bet I can get the biggest one though. Jasper, just go get the 초 biggest 곰 before he rips your pants too.” “No. I said I could get it and I will.” “Fine tell me how it goes.” The deer wasn’t very far away. I took him down in a second. It wasn’t very filling but it was good enough. I sat on a rock and waited for him to come back.
“Hey there.” I turned around. Not only was his 셔츠 ripped but so was a part of his pants. “I told 당신 so.” “Hey. I was going to say that later. When it turns out I’m right.” “So, 당신 take down the 곰 또는 did the 곰 get away?” “No. I took him down. It was fun.” “I’m happy you’re feeling better. But 당신 realize now we have to get 당신 new clothes which means we have to go to town and find a store!” That wiped the smile off his face, just like it does to anyone who knows me. “Alice, no. No, no way!” “Yes way! I told 당신 to leave that 곰 alone and 당신 didn’t so now 당신 get to go on a shopping spree with me!!” He looked like he was sick. “You know I got that weird feeling again.” “Don’t even try it.” He had a smile on his face again; he looked like a kid who woke up on 크리스마스 with the toy of his dreams. “Oh no. We don’t have any money.” He put a little frown on his face. “I thought of that. I took a few thousand dollars before we left. We’re covered.” He didn’t loose hope. “But it must be ruined from when we went swimming.” “I thought of that. I put the money in a waterproof wallet.” “Where’s the wallet?” “The wallet is in my pocket. Safe.” Now he 로스트 hope. Nothing scares my family 더 많이 than one of my shopping sprees. James, Victoria, and Laurent looked like flies compared to my shopping sprees. It’s even worse for Emmett, Carlisle, Jasper, and Edward. What boy wants his sister 또는 wife to 샵 for clothes for them? Not mine. Too bad, Jasper is just gonna have to suffer for an hour, maybe two, make it three. “Now come on. It’s almost sunrise, and we’re going to the nearest mall 또는 nearest clothes store. I hate shopping like this but I have no time to look for designer clothes.” He had another smile on his face.
“Alice. My 셔츠 and pants are ripped. 당신 know the saying. No shoes no 셔츠 no service.” He thinks he’s going to wiggle his way out of this. He’s not going to get out of this one. “Jasper? Ever heard of a bribe? A few hundred dollars will convince any store manager to let me shop. No matter what the consequences are.” “Fine, slap on the cuffs and drag me to the store. How long will we be in there?” “An 시간 또는 two, maybe three.” “Oh no.” “Oh yes. Jasper you’ve handled worse things than that. Remember the last time we went shopping together?” “Yeah. We were in there since 6:00 a.m and left around midnight. Talk about a bribe. I can’t believe 당신 made that manager make the store stay open longer.” “Flirting goes a long way when 당신 dress like this.” “Yeah well I didn’t like that bribe.” “He sure did.” “That’s why I didn’t like it, that and because he let us stay in there longer! I thought nothing could kill us but your shopping sprees kill everyone.” He smiled a goofy grin. “Stop smiling and come on.” We started walking. “We need to get to a store before all the good clothes are gone.” He stopped right where he was. I kept walking.
“Jasper no matter how many times 당신 stop I’m getting 당신 to a store!” I stopped and turned around. He was 겨울왕국 again just like when he thought someone was following us. “Jasper, don’t start that again. No one is following us. 당신 just don’t want me to get 당신 to a store.” “Alice, I hate going to a store with 당신 but I told 당신 I surrendered. I was going to go with 당신 with no trouble.” “Then come on.” “Alice, I 사랑 to say this to you, I told 당신 so. I betted against 당신 and I was right. So I told 당신 so, I told 당신 so, I told 당신 so! At least try and pay attention to your surroundings.” “I don’t see anyone and I don’t smell anyone. What’s your point?” “Yeah but I feel something.” “Your nerves about going to a store?” “Alice, I’m being very serious!” “I’m sorry; ok what do 당신 feel now?” “Five different emotions besides ours.” 당신 would think he would realize where we are. “Jasper, we’re in the forest. Have 당신 ever heard of Hikers?” “Alice, this is no time for sarcasm.” “Sorry.” I really haven’t been myself since we left, neither of us has been. “They’re getting closer……” There was a breeze so I took a deep breath. Jasper wasn’t feeling hikers. He was right. “Jasper. Go ahead.” “I….TOLD....YOU….SO. Can 당신 see anything?” I looked around. “I don’t see anything.” “Do 당신 see them coming our way anytime soon?”
No. I don’t see them coming but I don’t see them at all. It’s either because I don’t know them 또는 it’s because someone isn’t letting me see them but that’s impossible. Well, to our knowledge it’s impossible. Usually all I need is their scent and I can see their futures. “Sorry Jasper but I don’t see them at all.” “Maybe they won’t come at all. Hopefully our paths accidentally crossed, hopefully.” “Jasper let’s just go to a store if they are following us then they wouldn’t even try to go in the store.” “Ok. Let’s go.” We both turned and started walking but a lot faster than we were walking. We both just wanted to get away from there just in case.
“See anything yet?” “Jasper you’ve been asking that every two seconds. Can 당신 give me a break? I saw nothing, I see nothing, and I doubt I’ll ever see something but I must admit the smell has been getting stronger.” He started walking right past me. An army man who’s scared half to death of someone who might not even be following us. “Alice could 당신 hurry?” “About ten 분 이전 당신 were begging me not to go to a store and now you’re begging to go to the store.” “Well Ten 분 이전 I was afraid of being shopped to death. Now I’m afraid I’m going to have to fight someone for you……again 또는 fighting for 당신 to get off someone 또는 fight because they started fighting.” “Hey, I thought we were going to drop that.” “I thought 당신 were going to walk faster.” “Quit it, we aren’t 연기 like ourselves already do we have to push each other over the edge?” “You’re right I’m sorry Alice.” “It’s ok but I was being serious when I said the smell was getting stronger but now it’s stronger than before.” “I know. I wonder what they want.” He turned his head to look at me. “I told 당신 I see nothing. I hear nothing and I smell something. Isn’t that good enough?” “No. When 당신 see something then it’ll be good enough.” Then something stepped out from a 나무, 트리 in front of us.
“Well, it looks like 당신 didn’t have long to wait. Correct me if I’m wrong but I believe your names are Alice and Jasper.” I was speechless. She was tall with black eyes and she had flaming red hair but she had it short. I stopped walking but Jasper kept going. “Jasper? What are 당신 doing? “I’m hoping she’s not there that’s what I’m doing.” “Now my feelings are hurt. Believe me when I say we come in peace. Corny I know but true. We mean no harm. Once again corny but true. I feel like an alien from outer 우주 from one of those old movies.” She started laughing. What’s so funny? She pops out of no where and I’m panicking because I didn’t see her come out from the 나무, 트리 until after she actually did it and Jasper’s running like a fool. “Jasper would 당신 get over here?!” “Not until it goes away!” “For your information I’m not an it, I’m a she and they are a they.” She pointed in front of Jasper but it was where he was headed. He passed her but before he could go any further four other 뱀파이어 grabbed him and started carrying him back. They had to bring him back kicking and screaming, literally. I have never seen Jasper do that! Kicking, screaming, and biting? I thought he was above that kind of stuff. Well, unless he needed to do that but like she said they mean no harm and they come in peace. That does sound corny. “Would 당신 put me down? Can’t I go anywhere without people doing this?” “Doing what? Carrying 당신 back like a baby?” One of the men carrying him looked at me. He was big but he was smaller than Emmett but taller than Edward, he had brown hair but his hair was like a buzz cut and he had black eyes too. “How many times does he get carried like this?” “Umm actually this is the first.” “And the kicking and screaming?” “First time.” “Huh.” They put him down right 다음 to me and walked over to the woman. “Well here 당신 go. Now you’re on the ground. Don’t make a run for it 또는 we’ll have to hold 당신 down.” Another woman turned to me. “You tell us if he’s going to try anything. You’ll be the first to know when he’s planning it.” “He already is.” “Alice!” “Jasper! He’s trying to beat the odds in his head. He was planning on me following him but he wasn’t planning on staying much longer.” “Alice!” Well it’s true!” “It may be true but 당신 didn’t have to tell them!” “Would 당신 stop that! All the math you’re doing in your head is giving me a headache!” “Well they’re giving me a headache!” “And that’s my fault?!” “Yes! If you’ve walked faster then…..” “Would 당신 shut up?! If I would’ve walked faster than they would’ve walked faster anyway!” “I’m sorry to interrupt but this is no time to fight; besides we weren’t planning on fighting 당신 anyway. We just wanted to discuss something with you.” “Now 당신 see that Jasper you’re making me fight with 당신 over nothing.” “I’m making 당신 fight with me? You’re making me fight with you!” “I am not, you’re the one……..” “WOULD THE BOTH OF 당신 SHUT THE HELL UP?! YOU’RE GIVING ME A BLOODY HEADACHE!” He was very short and had blonde hair with red eyes and a British accent. “That’s quite enough from 당신 Cedric.” “Yeah well that’s enough of them I could take. They would’ve done the same damn thing over and over and over.” “Come on man shut up. We’ve heard 당신 complain the whole time too. You’re not the only one with a headache.” Uh-oh. I go to get there attention. “HEY!” “WHAT!” Three voices shouted at me at the same time. “You might want to start running.” “Why?” “Well, Jasper’s almost out of the country.” “SON OF A……” “THIS IS NO TIME TO BE CURSING CEDRIC!!!!! JUST RUN!!!!!!” “You know where he’s going?” “Of course. Africa 의해 the looks of it. He’s still trying to figure out if he should go there 또는 America and if he should come back for me.” Then Cedric and the one fighting with Cedric left. It was the same one who asked me those questions. I should feel mad, depressed, and betrayed but I don’t. I should be wondering why he’s running but I’m not. I’m just curious to know what the hell is going on here and why the other woman is so familiar. “What are their names?” I pointed to the woman and the man who didn’t say anything yet. “That’s Sierra and that’s Maxwell but just call him Max. I’m Franny but everyone calls me Fran.” Max was medium sized with black hair but with a gray streak in it that looked like a lightening bolt, his eyes were red like Cedric’s and Sierra was about Rosalie’s size and had long black hair down to her knees but her eyes were gold like mine. “Well Fran, Max might want to 가입하기 Cedric and the other guy.” “Why I’m sure Cedric and Frank can handle Jasper 의해 themselves.” “Then obviously 당신 don’t know Jasper as well as I do. Max.” He looked at me. “Go with Cedric and Frank.” He shook his head. “NOW!” He started running in the right direction. “I’m sorry Fran but if he wouldn’t go then I would never get Jasper back over here and 당신 would never be able to ask the question.” “I have to ask the two of 당신 the 질문 separately anyway.” “Then go ahead and ask me.” I have a feeling this will be very, very odd.
“Alice I’m a shield. I block physical, mental, and physic powers. Like yours. Jasper’s power is the one exception to my shield and we’re not sure why. We have come across Jasper once before. We were following Peter&Charlotte a long, long time 이전 and then Jasper joined them. We found Jasper very interesting. So we wanted to ask him a 질문 but then he left Peter&Charlotte and so we decided since we wanted to ask him a 질문 we’d follow him instead but he got to where he was going to quickly and we didn’t have enough time to ask him.” “Why didn’t 당신 ask him straight out instead of following him?” “I was getting to that.” “Sorry.” “He was going somewhere we weren’t sure where so we stayed a distance. He went somewhere 당신 should remember quite clearly. After he finished what he was doing he came out not alone but with you. We decided since he found a better life we would leave him alone but then we came across three brothers. 당신 should know them very well too. Especially……” “Don’t 당신 say that name!” “Fine. So we decided to follow them since they had such an interesting past and they were very funny to watch. We asked all three of them the 질문 and only one said yes.” “Robert.” “Exactly. He thought it would be funny to travel the world and show off his guns?” “His muscles.” “Ah. 당신 know we never understood that, anyway when he realized he was the only one who said yes he backed out. We still followed them because William looked as if he desperately wanted to say yes to the question. So we followed them just in case they change their minds. We were about to stop following them when we noticed Jasper was with them. We thought it was a perfect time to ask the question.” “Oh that explains what he said earlier.” “The reason we thought it was perfect was because we thought he left you.” “So quick to judge.” “I’m sorry Alice, we just wanted to ask the 질문 to Jasper and we thought he got bored with his old life like he did with Peter&Charlotte and decided to leave but obviously he didn’t.” “Yeah well he came very very close.” “We know.” What the hell? Do they do this for a living? Follow vampire after vampire coven after coven. It’s madness! I never thought 뱀파이어 had to worry about stalkers!
“We saw what happened and we really thought the separation was permanent.” “It looked that way to me too.” “We know but that Katrina had to butt in and tell 당신 this and tell 당신 that and told 당신 not to go to the Volturi, and she ruined everything. Sorry.” “No problem.” Yeah it’s really no problem, 당신 sit here insult me and then go and insult my best friend and then stalk my husband to a point when he’s about to loose his mind when he’s already 연기 insane. All for a question? I don’t get it. “So we followed him and right when we were about to come out of the shadows he starts running straight for you! we were so mad, we knew 당신 were going to take him back but we saw the tension between the two of 당신 and well we thought another fight 또는 something would happen and the separation would happen again and if it did we wouldn’t wait, as soon as 당신 two were apart we were going to ask him the question. It was Cedric’s idea to just stop the both of 당신 and ask 당신 both the question.” “I would understand this a whole lot better if 당신 told me what the 질문 was 또는 if 당신 would drop your shield.” “If I drop my shield even for a 초 our whole family is vulnerable, like I’d put them in danger like that. I’ll tell 당신 the 질문 as soon as I tell 당신 one 더 많이 thing.” “Fine tell me so I can get this mess over with so I can get Jasper back and go get my anti-depressant.” “Really? I didn’t know we could have anti-depressants.” “I meant shopping my anti-depressant is shopping.” “Why? Shopping is so dull and boring.” I thought a woman would understand. Any woman who has a problem either eats, (Can’t do that) 또는 shops with her friends. I have a few girlfriends to hang out with Bella, Rosalie, and as soon as she gets older Renesmee. So it’s either shopping 또는 I loose all hope and be upset and snap at people all the time. Like Rosalie. “Shopping is not dull and boring. You’re getting off track just tell me the one thing 당신 wanted to tell me before 당신 ask me the question.” “Boy are 당신 impatient.” “I’ll show 당신 impatient if 당신 don’t shut up and get to the damn point.” Uh-oh. First sign of a fight I start snapping.
“Frank can see the past instead of the future and if he touches 당신 he can allow 당신 to see your past. People’s past is much 더 많이 interesting than their future, that’s what make us follow certain people. We go 의해 what their past is. It’s interesting because he sees their human past and vampire past. When we first saw 당신 he saw only a brief part of your human past. He only saw your friend, your closest friend when 당신 were in an insane asylum. We thought Jasper was crazy for going with 당신 but it turns out it was the other way around. No offense.” “It’s ok.” Ha, ha, ha make fun of the crazy people. 초 sign of a fight I’m dreaming of killing her. I really hope Jasper gets back soon. Speak of the devil.
Looks like our good 프렌즈 Mr. Past and Mr. Bloody hell found my husband in the ocean and Mr. No is right behind them. Jasper once again starts to go faster. They got him, he’s kicking and screaming again, and now they are carrying him back here while the whole time Jasper is cursing and trying to get away.
“You might want to ask me that 질문 now.” “Why?” “Because I know three people whose carrying one important person, who’s headed this way.” “Right. Fine.” I might have to kill her, depending on what the 질문 is. “We want 당신 to 가입하기 us.” Oh my god, she has to be joking! I started laughing. “No, never.” “But if 당신 choose to 가입하기 us all the things 당신 can’t remember from your human life 당신 could know now and you’ll be able to remember everything. Forever and ever. Isn’t that what 당신 want most Alice? To know everything 당신 used to know. To remember your mom, your dad, and your sister. Don’t 당신 want to remember the good times 당신 had with them? Your birthdays? Everything? To get to actually see them again? Isn’t that why 당신 tried to find your papers from the Insane Asylum? To see when 당신 got there and if 당신 had a sister 또는 brother 또는 any living relative. We could give 당신 a lot 더 많이 than outdated papers my friend. So….you in 또는 out?”
I can’t believe it. My years of searching for a picture 또는 one solid document to tell me everything I need to know and all I had to do was find Frank before he found these fools. I 사랑 my new family a lot but do I 사랑 my old family more? She really did make me an offer that’s hard to refuse. Should I? Should I really go for it? Should I abandon my 검색 for a half breed like Renesmee? Should I abandon everything I have for this? How do I know she’s really telling the truth? Sure she guessed about my best friend and my 검색 for my papers from the insane asylum but how long has she been following us? She says since Jasper found Robert and William but she also said she saw him first with Peter and Charlotte. So if she is a shield she can block her mind like Bella can. This explains why Edward can’t read Bella’s thoughts. So she could have been following my whole family for months with no detection. “Well? Are 당신 in 또는 out?” “Would 당신 give me a damn second?! This is a lot to take in! I mean I either stay with my new family 또는 see my old family again! It’s a decision that I have to think about!” “I understand but can 당신 take a break and tell me if they’re almost here and if you’re leaning to yes 또는 no.” I closed my mind and tried to block out everything else.
There is a problem. Jasper got out of there grasp but Cedric tackled him and now they have him under control again. “Your first answer is they should be here in another twenty 분 and to answer your 초 question…..” I can’t believe this. “I’m actually leaning toward a yes.” “Great! This is awesome if we have 당신 on our side we won’t only be able to see the potential in 뱀파이어 from their past but now their future too! This would be perfect! Welcome aboard!” “Whoa, whoa, whoa, I said I was leaning toward yes I never said a definite yes. I have a 질문 for you.” “Go ahead! If this is something that might help get 당신 in our family then ask away!” “How do I know he really sees the past?” “Ah! The same 질문 they all ask! As soon as Frank comes back I’ll get him to show 당신 a sneak peek of your human life!” “Alright. What about Jasper?” “Well if he knows 당신 said yes……” “I didn’t yet.” “Ah ha! The keyword! Yet! Anyway if 당신 do say yes then after he says no. 당신 know he will because he’ll think 당신 said no. Anyway after we tell 당신 to come with us he’ll change his mind and he’ll come too. Perfect plan isn’t it?!” “So Jasper has a definite place here?” “Of course! 당신 both do! And if 당신 both say no then we will never bother 당신 again but if 당신 change your mind then find us. You’ll always be welcomed with us!” “Ok. I need 더 많이 time to think.” “Oh, I’m sorry but 당신 and Jasper can’t see each other when they get here not until 당신 both give us an answer. So Sierra? Can 당신 bring Alice behind those trees over there? And make sure she’s comfortable!” “Sure. Alice come with me please.” “No offense Fran but I’ll never be comfortable until my decision is made.” “Good! Because neither will I.” “Oh and Fran?” “Yeah?” “They’re here.” “GREAT!! I’ll have to put a shield around Jasper too. We don’t want 당신 to cheat on 당신 test. Now go, go, go!!! Sierra take her quickly!” “Come on Alice.”
