FINALLY, I have started writing an Alice/Jasper story called Down the Rabbit Hole. It is probably going to be a three shot and I've published

the first chapter on my profile. It is a unique look at Alice immediately after her transformation. I always thought she was an interesting

character and so I decided to explore her further. Even if this is not the usual pairing you go for, I encourage you to give it a try and tell

me what you think:-) I always love hearing from you guys - it inspires me to write more!

Here's a teaser:

-------

She stumbled backwards in horror, her unnaturally white and smooth hands flying trembling to her bloodstained mouth. What had she done? What had she become? Turning quickly away, she fled from the site of the carnage, her legs trembling beneath her even as they moved faster than sight. When she was far away from civilisation, far from any more distracting scents, she collapsed on her knees and sobbed. But no tears would come and try as she might, her dry heaving did not bring her the satisfaction that she thought it would.
