Chapter 7
Jasper stood staring out the window. He was watching the moon and thinking about the little pixie in the next room. He heard a slight sound from her room and without even thinking he ran to her bedside. She was asleep but obviously having a bad dream. He took a seat on the bed next to her and touched her hair.
“It’s only a dream, Alice. Wake up. It’s just a dream.” He said softly.
Alice saw the shadow coming down the asylum hall toward her and knew that this time Richard could not save her. The monster unlocked her cell and entered; she backed as far as she could into the corner and whimpered. “No one can save you now. I will have you. No one even cares if I kill you. I will take my time and enjoy myself doing it.” His sinister voice whispered. Alice moaned as he reached a clawed hand to touch her. “Please no.” She begged. “Please don’t hurt me.”
Jasper felt his unbeating heart clench when she pleaded with the figure in her dream to not hurt her. He touched her face. “Alice, baby, it’s Jasper. I’m right here. I will protect you from him. I won’t let him hurt you.”
Alice vaguely heard Jasper’s voice in her head. “Jasper.” She pleaded softly. “Jasper, help me.”
“There is no Jasper here; just me and my little helpless Alice.” The monster told her.
Jasper immediately pulled the sleeping girl into his lap and rocked her gently. “I’m right here Alice. Let me in and I will slay the demon for you. You are mine and I won’t let another touch you.”
The rest of the family stood in the doorway and watched as Jasper cradled the girl and tried to calm her. They had heard the moans and came at once to help. He looked up at them helplessly. “She is seeing herself back in the asylum and a faceless monster is after her. He has her trapped in a cell and she is backed into a corner. He is telling her that she belongs to him and that no one is going to come and rescue her.” Edward told Jasper.
“Alice, listen to me.” Jasper said desperately. “Emmett just kicked the door of the cell in. Do you see all of us? We are here to help honey. I am holding you now and Emmett and Edward are attacking the monster. Esme, Carlisle and Rosalie are protecting us. We will never let him near you again. Do you hear me? You are safe. I’m holding you. Edward and Emmett have killed it. It’s dead. You are safe. Safe in my arms.” He looked up at Edward his eyes wild. Edward nodded. It was working.
Alice saw it all. She felt Jasper holding her and knew that she was safe now. She watched her new brothers kill the monster. She felt the protection and the love. She knew that each and every member of her new family would do anything they could to save her.
“Come back to me, love.” Jasper said, never noticing what he had called her. “Come back to me my little pixie.” He stared down as Alice’s eyes slowly opened. He never noticed as the rest of the family melted out of the room as silently as they had entered it.
“Jasper?” She questioned softly.
“I’m here. You are safe.” He said and without thinking he leaned in and his lips touched hers with reverence. They both felt a deeply penetrating shock as their lips met and she gasped in response. He pulled back instantly. “I’m sorry, Alice. I’m sorry. I didn’t mean to do that. I didn’t mean to scare you.”
“No, no, Jasper! Don’t be sorry. It’s ok. I was just surprised, that’s all. I feel something when you touch me. Don’t you feel it too? Or am I just weird? I always have been a freak.” She instantly got depressed. Jasper ran his hand over her cheek and back into her hair.
“I feel it too. Don’t think it’s just you. It feels like an electric shock; a spark. It happens every time we touch but with the kiss it was stronger. I felt it; you aren’t weird and don’t ever call yourself a freak again. I don’t want to hear that.”
“Sorry.” She smiled wryly. “Just habit, but you really feel it too?”
Jasper leaned down and kissed her again. “Every time. I am afraid that things are moving a bit too quickly, though and I don’t want to scare you away. I don’t understand how but you are already too important to me to jeopardize. But I won’t take the chance of doing just that.”
“You won’t hurt me or scare me, Jasper. I have already seen our future. I know where it is heading and I know what will happen.” She reached up and touched his face gently. The heat from her hand practically burning him, but the burn was all pleasure. “You don’t scare me!” She repeated strongly.
“I should.” He answered. “I haven’t been the nicest of creatures throughout my long life. I was a soldier; a warrior. I have killed many people Alice. And being close to you is harder than being close to any other human. You are more temptation than any human I have ever met.”
“I see you, Jasper.” Alice said intuitively.
‘Does she? Does she really see me?’ He wondered silently.
“I see the scars,” she gently touched a few on his face, the remains of the newborn bites that his body was covered with. Most humans didn’t even see them. “I see the thirst. I feel the way you hold yourself back and I see the way that you worry you don’t fit in here. I know why you think that. You are afraid that you can’t hold to the same eating style that the rest of the family does. It’s harder for you than for the others. Don’t worry, Jasper. I won’t let you hurt anybody.”
He watched this tiny woman say all this and couldn’t help it but laugh in surprise at the thought of such a tiny little human saying she would stop him from hurting anyone. He briefly wondered just how she would do that and laughed again. He saw her eyes flash briefly as she wondered if he was laughing at her.
“All I meant was that I will be able to see it if it’s in your future. I will warn you and your family.”
“Our family.” He corrected and was pleased to see a flush stain her cheeks. “You, my little human, need some more sleep. Go on back to bed, we can talk more in the morning.”
“Stay.” Her voice said softly. “Please stay with me.”
Jasper swallowed hard. Venom filled his mouth at the thought of being in the same room with her for the rest of the night. Her being helpless and vulnerable in sleep. “It’s not safe.” He said tightly.
“You won’t hurt me.” She repeated with confidence and touched his arm.
The instant she touched him, the thirst became bearable. It was still there but his desire to hold her and be with her was much stronger. He nodded. She smiled at him and he found that the smile dazzled him. She was more desirable and beautiful than anyone he’d ever met. “If I’m going to make it through the night, I think you are going to have to keep your hand on me.” He told her honestly. “My thirst seems to calm when you are touching me.” Her smile grew wider and she practically glowed.
“I’ll be right back then.” She said, her voice as soothing as honey to him. She danced away from him and into the bathroom. He sat on her bed, unsure of where she wanted him.
“Lying beside her.” Edwards low voice answered from his room. ‘Will you keep lookout for me and yank me away if I begin to question feeding on her?’ Jasper asked in his head. “Yes.” Edward answered again. ‘Thank you.’ Jasper responded as he watched her enter the room once more.
Alice climbed onto the huge bed once more. Jasper found it comical that they’d gotten the largest bed for the smallest woman he’d ever met. She looked even more tiny than normal while laying there. She crawled under the covers and peeped up at him. He smiled down at her and gently touched her cheek. She sighed softly and yawned. She was completely relaxed now that he was in here with her. She felt satisfied and he was glad to give her that.
“Lay beside me.” Alice commanded in her soft voice. It didn’t seem like a command. Instead, it seemed like she was merely saying aloud what they both knew he must do. His not being next to her right now was not an option. He stretched out on top of the covers and took hold of her hand. Her body curling up to his as much as she could considering she was under the covers. Her cheek rested against his shoulder and he smiled at her warmth. She fell asleep quickly and deeply with a smile on her face.
