Elsie breathed a sigh of relief as her bag was brought within her grasp, making sure that all of the zippers and buckles were securely closed before putting her arms through the straps. Looking up at Jasper a rare smile shined through her beautiful blue eyes. Leaving her bag may not have seemed important to him but he had gotten it for her without hesitation or questioning. "Thank you." She murmured.

"No problem" Jasper said with a happy smile. He sensed her relief and her saw the sparkle in her eyes. Maybe she would let herself open up a little. But Jasper would have to take small steps. She was like a lonely kitten.
He moved his head to the side. "Look at the view. Isn't it great?"

Slowly Elsie turned her head to the side, her gaze moving from Jasper to the mentioned view. From up here the island did indeed look quite beautiful. She was so used to the dull gray of this place and it was unbelievable that Jasper and his wife had moved here willingly. "Yes, it's great." She agreed quietly.

"I really like this place" Jasper continued. "It's special. It has this strange aura. And it's peaceful for us. There isn't much sun to hurt us but at the same time it looks pretty" He explained as if sensing her question. He had moved her with Alice to find peace. Aidan joined them only a feww weeks later

Elsie really wished that she could tell him how she had come to be on the island. She didn't know how she had gotten here exactly but she did remember wanting to get away bad enough that the next the she knew she was on this strange island. This place gave her a sense of freedom that she never had before.
She laid her head upon Jaspers shoulder becoming completely overwhelmed by tears. Elsie never cried but what did one expect from an eight year old girl? She had kept everything so bottled up inside for so long that it was surprising that she hadn't cracked before now. She didn't know why she was crying but she couldn't control it now that it had started.

JAsper didn't see it coming but when it happened he was glad. He wrapped his arms around the crying girl tightly. She finally broke up and let it free. This was the first and the most important step. Jasper hoped she'd talk to him now and tell him the truth. If she decided to open up enough to cry then it meant she trusted him

It was several long minutes before Elsie could regain control over her emotions, her face taking on its usual blank state. The only sign left that she had been crying was the ugly red that had stained her pale cheeks. Her tears had soaked through the front of Jasper's shirt from where she had hid her face in his chest and she ran a hand over it as if to wipe it away. "I'm sorry." She murmured.

"Shh. It's okay" Jasper murmured running his fingers through her hair. "Don't ever apologize for your emotions. They're a part of who you are. You don't need to be ashamed of it." He said tightening his arms around her and rocking her softly. He felt secure on the tree and knew they wouldn't fall. "Tell me everything" he asked

"No." Elsie whispered though her voice was firm. She wiggled her way out of Jasper's strong arms, her head bowed low and her fingers digging into the rough bark beneath her to keep from falling. She deeply wished that she could talk, to tell him everything like he wanted. She couldn't see how he would react but she didn't want to take the chance to find out. She loved him too much to have him hate her.

"Please" Jasper whispered wrapping his arms around her. If she wasn't a serial killer without any emotions he would understand everything else. And she wasn't. The recent tears still shining in her eyes were the best proof. "Talk to me Elsie. You can trust me. Someone or something hurt you but I won't do it"

Elsie's bottom lip trembled and a fresh wave of tears spilled over her lashes as he wrapped his arms around her and pleaded with her to tell him what she knew. She was absolutely terrified of his reaction but she pulled her bag around to her side to dig through one of the front zippers anyways, retrieving a small pure silver knife. Her name had been engraved into the hilt long before she had found it. She handed it to him without a word, giving him the chance to make his own assumptions about her.

Jasper watched her reach into her bag curious to see what she'd show him. When she handed him a small silver knife he froze for a moment. All those legends about silver hurting vampires. But she wasn't here to kill him. If she was she would know that silver wouldn't work. So it was a souvenir maybe? Something from her childhood? "It's pretty" Jasper said holding the knife on his flat palm

Elsie quickly shook her head when he commented that the knife was pretty, her chest heaving as the panic started to settle in. She had gone this far so there was no going back now, she had tell him the truth. She only wished that they were on the ground so that she would have a better chance at getting away when she did. "It's a murder weapon." She stated in barely more than a whisper. Shrugging her book bag back on she ducked out of Jasper's arms and began the climb down as quickly as she possibly could.

Jasper was taken by surprise. That's how she had that chance to duck out of his arms. But that didn't last long and only three seconds lasted before he was back with her, two branches closer to the ground. He sat her back on the branch and wrapped his arm around her for support. "So?" He asked with a voice that clearly stated that he didn't care. "Most of knives are. And they're still pretty. Did you really think it would change what I think about you?"

Elsie groaned in frustration and she had a strong urge to pull at her when he caught her before she could reach the ground. She hadn't wanted to tell him in the first place and when she tried to give him hints he still didn't get it. Along with everything else she was feeling, this was so terribly frustrating for her. "It's not pretty. That knife has been used in a murder before. Twice.."

Jasper wasn't affected. He shrugged then curled his upper lip to show her his teeth. "And this weapon has been used in a murder more than twice. And while I believe your case was forced mine wasn't. You wonder why I think yours was forced? Cause you're not a serial killer. It's your burden. If you were a real murderer you'd be proud while the truth is that you suffer"

He didn't give her the reaction that she had been expecting and for some reason Elsie was very disappointed about that. Did she really want him to look at her in the way that she had often imagined and threaten to throw her into prison where she would remain for the rest of her life for the crimes that she had committed? He shouldn't be so understanding. It was a different story when you are a vampire, they are supposed to kill.
She pushed away from him again, jumping from where she was and landing on all fours on the ground. The impact hadn't hurt too much, the worse she got from it was a couple of scraped palms and knees but there was no blood so it was all good there. She rose to her feet, wiping her hands on the back of her pants. "I do not suffer because I've killed. I don't regret doing what I did." She replied.

She was disappointed because he accepted her past? Jasper couldn't understand it. It was as if she wanted to punish herself by pushing him away. Because Jasper knew she did like his company.
He jumped after her landing beside her smoothly. Unlike her he wasn't even scratched. Nothing. "No, you don't. But you still don't think you deserve someone's love or attention. As if you thought I would push you away because of that. Elsie, whatever you did you had a good reason to do it"

To Elsie love only equaled pain, both physical and emotional. She would rather spend the rest of her life alone than to have to suffer through that again. She was finally free of that bond and had no desire to deal with that emotion ever again. That meant ignoring whatever connection she felt with Jasper. "Stop being so understanding! Call me a monster and clap me in irons!" She ordered, holding her wrists out together.

"Fine. You're a monster" Jasper said in a bored voice. "But so am I. As a private detective I arrest you" He added wrapping his fingers around her thin wrists. "You're sentenced to this punishment. You'll be the prison of my life. You'll be forced to live in my apartment, eat fresh food and wear clean clothes. You'll be also forced to sleep calmly every night. This will be your punishment and I will be your guard"
