Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight or any characters from said series. Unfortunately. Ugh.

Also, this is my first official fan fiction, so be nice to Tannbanan, kk? Kk

Prologue: 1951

I pulled myself out of the stiff wooden chair, stretching. I glanced at the clock to find that I had been reading for almost four hours. Turning around to the right side of the mangy yellow room, I sighed. Alice was not yet back hunting. This was inconvenient; I was not used to being without her, even for short bursts of time. I was addicted, I thought.

I knew that if anyone in town knew about this, they would be shocked; scandalous Jasper Whitlock with scandalous Mary Alice Brandon. How …scandalous, they would think. I chuckled at the thought of it. Little did the gossiping housewives know that this scandalous couple" were vampires, something that I knew would shut them all up, if I could ever tell them.

I could hear footsteps outside the motel door, but I could more clearly smell the intense aroma of their sweet, tempting blood. Probably a motel maid; a maid that, in one quick, simple motion, would be dead on the ground as I drained the blood out of her helpless body, like a vicious animal. It was hard to resist, but, with Alice, resistible.

I thought I was a vicious animal, and I was perfectly fine with it for a hundred years. But then I met Alice, my Alice, and she told me that I wasn't an animal. And of course I believed her. What was difficult was believing in myself...

I smiled, shaking the thoughts of blood out of my head. The golden brass doorknob was turning, and, with it, my Alice was coming. I smiled again. I was doing that a lot lately...
