Knowing this would barely slow James, he put himself in James‘s path to delay him.
From Alice‘s vision, he knew James was a strong hunter, and that it was a fight he would not win.
She was able to see the best future for herself.
After her transformation, Alice awoke alone. The pain of the transformation had the same effect on Alice as the shocks; she remembered nothing of her life in the asylum, or of the vampire who had transformed her. She was unaware of James as the reason for her change.
Fortunately, Alice‘s psychic gifts were now greatly enhanced and strengthened. She was able to see the best future for herself.
Alice‘s first clear vision as a vampire was of Jasper Whitlock. She knew that Jasper was her future mate, but she also knew that he wasn‘t ready for her yet. Instead of going to look for him, she waited for him to find her. In the meantime, she practiced — with sporadic success—
living a ?vegetarian? lifestyle, knowing that in time she and Jasper would end up with the Cullen family.
In 1948, Alice went to the small diner in Philadelphia where she knew she and Jasper were destined to meet. Though her greeting was characteristically cryptic, Jasper‘s ability to feel the emotions of those around him allowed him to appreciate the magnitude of the occasion. Alice was already in love; Jasper quickly learned to reciprocate.
To please Alice, Jasper began practicing a ?vegetarian? lifestyle as well. By 1950, when they joined the Cullens, Alice was able to control her thirst as well as the rest of the family did.
Jasper continues to have more difficulty with self-restraint than the others. Alice and Jasper were married sometime after joining the Cullen family.
Alice loves all of her adopted family, but has a special bond with Edward. Thanks to his mind-reading abilities, he is the only one who truly understands what it is like to live with constant visions of the future.
