Forever and ever

We had briefly met up with Peter and Charlotte again, to introduce Tom and Joseph, and then parted ways once more. We were beginning to head west again, back the way we'd come essentially.

Currently I was standing in the middle of a rectangle shaped room, the length and breadth of the building I was in, my head focused on the stairway, waiting. It had once been used for storage which has since all been removed. The floor was made up of large wooden panels, all unevenly shaped. I was sheltering from the rain that flew at an angle through the gentle sunlight that lit up the earthly brown of the...

The dress was one sleeved and off the shoulder, so my snow white shoulders were on show. That probably wasn't a bad analogy for me actually; 'Snow White'. Save for the near hideous blue and yellow dress that she donned, I looked like I'd stepped right out of the Disney movie.

My dress was made of white satin, delicately covered with fine prints of black narcissus flowers. The fabric was bunched up around my left hip, and hung one-sided off my left shoulder. It wasn't a wedding dress exactly… but what did that matter? That only mattered for humans, and I… well obviously I was not human. However...

'Alice…' I said conversationally. 'Will you marry me?'

It had just popped into my head to ask her. Of course, it was not the first time I –we – had thought of it. I was obviously going to ask her at some point but there had been no rush; marriage was essentially a human practice but unlike humans we had forever.

I hoped she had not predicted me asking just at that moment. She looked round at me, raising her eyebrows slightly. Yes, I had taken her by surprise, I think, although it was always hard to tell with Alice. I grinned, and she leaned in and kissed me.

'What do you think?'

I sighed...

This isn't mine I just love this story though.

What Are You Doing the Rest of Your Life?

Chapter 1
1950
There were so many befores and afters in Alice's life.
Before, when she was human, the time she couldn't remember. After, when she was a vampire, and the blood lust consumed and confused her.
Before she met Jasper, when she was all alone save for the visions in her head. After she met Jasper, when she knew what it felt like to love and be loved.
Before the Cullens, when it was her and Jasper against the world. After, when she had a family and a home.
Before she went shopping with...

"She's asleep." Esme entered the living room and immediately went to Carlisle's side. When he put his arm around her and kissed her temple, she leaned into him with a sigh. "I put her in our room for the time being."
Across the room, Alice looked down at the black Capri pants she'd changed into, having thrown away her ruined dress. "She barely ate anything and I don't think it was a comment on your cooking."
Rosalie made a face, recalling the scent of the meal Esme had put together for their human guest. "Why do we even...

"Can I join you?"
If the Tennessee twang hadn't given him away, the sheer mass of the body that plopped down next to Jasper on the back porch steps would have. With his eyes still closed, Jasper lifted his shoulders. "Why not?"
Emmett glanced over at him. "I guess you don't feel like talking."
"You've guessed right."
The biggest member of the Cullen family squinted in the glare of the dying sun. "You ever gonna feel like talking?"
Jasper opened his eyes. "Did someone send you out here? Was it Carlisle?" He frowned. "Alice?"...

Entering the cavern was Jasper's worst nightmare come to life.
The scent of the humans was overwhelming; his throat burned like it was on fire and even cutting off the flow of oxygen into his lungs didn't help much. If not for Alice distracting him, he had no idea what he would have done to the half dozen frightened people huddled together at the far end of the cave.
But it wouldn't have made the angel in his arms smile.
He wrapped his arms around Alice and lifted her off the ground, holdin her as close as he could, like...

It felt as though he'd been running forever, yet Jasper could have run a million more miles without needing to stop. In his pocket, he'd stuffed at least twenty scraps of Alice's skirt that he and Carlisle had found along the way. Some had been carefully placed on branches and bushes, but more of the recent ones had been carelessly tossed on the snow...by a set of tire tracks.
They didn't speak as they raced through the woods. Even when one of them spotted a piece of lace, they only briefly paused to collect it before...

It had been nearly six months now, wandering from place to place, trying to make sense of my vague and confusing visions of the future we were trying to find, and struggling to help Jasper through the torturous process of abstaining from human blood. We had crossed several states in our search for the Cullens, but none of that mattered because there was no doubt about it, we had completely and truly fallen in love. Partners for life. We had not said those words to each other, but we knew.

We had kept...

Chapter 1: Saviour

I was bruised and battered, I couldn't tell what I felt, I was unrecognisable, to myself. Saw my reflection in a window, I didn't know my own face…

Jasper POV

The City of Brotherly Love. Well, I could call no one around me my brother and even in this heavily populated city I felt utterly alone. I had no companion but my own thoughts; and they were...
