The Pull

sanctuary

jasper and i walked through the woods for hours. as we walked we talked about everything but i kept tripping over rocks, tree roots, and even my own feet. the last time i fell , i almost cut myself trying to brake my fall. jasper got a worried look on his face and said "well Bella, i guess maybe a walk in the woods wasn't the best idea for you and i"

my spirit fell automatically, i was having more fun than i had in a long time and i didn't want to have to go back now just because i was a complete klutz. "please jasper, i really don't want to go back yet , i am really enjoying myself" a thoughtful look crossed his face before he spoke "well if you don't wish to go back yet, i could carry you if you would be ok with that.. so i am not tempted to eat you next time you fall.." i thought about it for all of a millisecond and then said" ok sounds great"

jasper gave me a briliant smile then he swooped down and picked me up bridal style. i wrapped my arms around his neck and braced my self for the horrifying speed i knew was coming.

jasper took off at vampire speed . i waited for the nausea and dizziness but it never came . i opened my eyes and looked at jasper. he looked completely at peace and pure joy covered his features. as he ran , i soaked in the purely happy emotion that were pouring off of him.

it was so peaceful that i let my self doze off to sleep. when i woke up i felt jasper's speed lessen and then about fifteen minutes later he stopped running and put me down inside a small clearing. i looked around taking in my surroundings, we stood just inside a small heart shaped clearing as impossible as that sounds. the grass od the meadow was soft and it was dotted with yellow wild flowers through out it. at the far end of the clearing there was a waterfall that flowed into a small pond surrounded by large flat rocks.

i was still a bit drowsy , so i said " do you mind if we sit over there for a while?" pointing towards the rocks. :what ever you wish , isabella, today we do whatever makes you happy" he said taking my hand once again.

we walked ata slow human pace across the clearing to the rocks. we layed across the large flat rocks and i let my finger tips graze the waters surface as we watched the sun set over the water fall in a perfect silence. he finally turned to me and said " it is truly beautiful here isn't it?" . "yes it really is. did you know this was here?"

he got a distant look in his eyes as he said " yes i have been here many times. it is very peaceful and simple . it reminds me of my humanity, since my childhood home is only a few miles from here. i used to come here when i wanted to be alone and think. i thought you might enjoy it. your the first person i have ever brought to my sanctuary."

a/n: so what do you think? should i bring back the cullens? maybe victoria? or the voltouri? thoughts? ideas? comments?
