Alice's visions were not always infallible. When she touched Aro's hand, he unlocked a flood of potential futures, allowing him to manipulate events to ensure victory for the Volturi. Alice never anticipated this twist. One by one, the Cullens fell, each death more devastating than the last. Carlisle was the first to go, and as the battle raged on, Jasper knew he was a prime target—his skills as a soldier making him a key asset for Aro. But he never expected Bella's shield to falter, leaving him vulnerable to Jane's tormenting powers. The pain she inflicted was unlike anything he had ever experienced, and as he heard Alice's desperate scream while they dragged her away, his heart sank.

In the chaos, Chelsea used her ability to sever the bond between Alice and Jasper, twisting Alice's loyalty to the Volturi in a cruel act of manipulation. They left Jasper's body in pieces as a testament to their brutality, underestimating the power of defiance that coursed through Alice. In a final act of rebellion, she had chosen to sacrifice everything for him.

Weeks later, a stranger stumbled upon the remnants of Jasper’s broken form. Driven by a mix of curiosity and compassion, the stranger gathered the pieces, piecing him back together like a macabre puzzle. The process was painstaking, but the determination to restore what was lost burned bright in their heart. As Jasper’s consciousness flickered back to life, he slowly opened his eyes, confused and disoriented.

“Wh-who are you?” he croaked, his voice raspy from disuse, as he struggled to comprehend the reality of his resurrection and the fate that awaited him now.*
