A Jalice adventure
I sat in the little meadow outside our house with Bella. It was a warm day for Forks, not a cloud in the sky. The last few months since the volteri had arrived for a battle had been peaceful. In fact, so peaceful that it was beginning to be a little boring. I yawned to myself and turned to Bella. "Bells, I really think this place needs to liven up." I announced. She cocked her head to one side and looked at me with a curious look. "And what are you planning to do Alice?" She chuckled. We were best friends, she knew me like the back of her hand. "We need to through a party." I squealed at the idea. Bella thought about it for a moment, before complaining, but it wasn't what I'd expected. "Yeah, we could. But what will peoples reaction to me is?" She asked me casually. I knew what she meant. Her eyes were still slightly red, and she had changed completely since she had seen people. "Don't be silly, you'll just say that you got a makeover!" I explained to her, jumping to my feet. Bella heaved herself up after me. She was small but, taller than me. I am tiny. "Okay. We need to organise it." She smiled at me. I stared at her open mouthed. She hated parties. "But you don't like parties!" I muttered. She shrugged at what I said. And started walking to the house. "I know I do. But it's better than doing nothing. I'm just getting so bored." She sighed. I wander what happened to all her nothing will be boring with Edward. I giggled. "What?" Bells wandered as I caught up with her. I looked at her. "I thought you said 'Nothing's boring with Edward!'" I giggled; she just glared at me, and walked into the white house. "I know. But he's gone hunting for two months!" She whimpered. I rubbed her arm. Our husbands had gone hunting a week ago and were away for two months. "Well we should get this party organised." I chirped enthusiastically. She rolled her dull red eyes and heaved the door open. "Whatever. We need to make it a special occasion though." She complained. But I had a perfect idea. As we walked into the living room, Rosalie was sitting on the couch and Renesmee (In human ages 7 months but in human years 13) was flicking through a magazine. "Oh I know, I've already thought of that. It's September now.... so it would be your human birthday." I told her. Bella nodded and went to sit next to Rosalie. I went and sat on the ground next to Renesmee. She had another Magazine next to her, OK, so I picked it up and started reading. "Hey, Bella!" Rosalie hugged Bella. I hadn't really gotten used to the fact that Rosalie was also one of Bella's best friends. Rosalie had gotten over her Jealousy and was now Bella's best friend. As well as me and Jacob. The werewolf, who, I have to admit, is pretty cool. "Hi Rose." She hugged her back and they started watching 90210. They were totally obsessed with the TV programme. Although vampires don't really watch TV. I got a little fed up of the magazine as I realized I'd read it already. I wandered into the kitchen, where we only kept food stashed for Renesmee. I could hear Bella and Rosalie talking to each other. "Me and Alice are thinking of organising a party. Do you want to help?" Bella asked Rosalie in an excited voice. There was a long silence, and I was guessing that Rosalie was gawking at what Bella said. "Oh yeah. We should so totally do that. We need to have a reason...." She went on and on but I didn't bother listening to her any more I was trying to find Esme. I could hear a clattering upstairs so I headed up. "Hey, Esme." She looked around at me; she was tidying her room after Bella throwing a strop last week (As Edward was leaving for 2 months). She smiled at me. "Hey Al. How's it going?" She asked politely. She knew I was still having a hard time coming to terms with Rose and Bella. I wanted Bella to myself, like old times. But she seemed to wound up with keeping things straight with Rosalie. She would always include her with things that we did. I grimaced as I answered her question. "I'm doing Okay. I mean it's not like I'm losing Bella. I just don't get to spend any alone time with her." I tried to sound convincing, but Esme saw right through me. She came over to me and rapped me in a tight hug. "It's going to be Okay Alice. You're still her best friend. You're never jealous of her and Jacob." She reassured me. I chuckled softly and shook my head. "It's not the same though. Rosalie used to dislike Bella now there joint at the waste." Esme looked at me seriously and then smiled. She took my hand in hers, "Alice believe me on this. She likes you better, maybe not by a big difference but it shows. She's just trying to keep things in balance with Rosalie." She reassured me. I cocked my head to one side. "Really?" I frowned not quite believing. She laughed, "Of course Alice. You've been friends for longer, and you spend more time together. Now look I'm a little busy hear so can you maybe go and reassure yourself." She sighed. I nodded and headed out the door. A sudden image of the future flashed into my mind then. There was two vampires with us, two new ones, and they seemed to be living with us! This surprised me. "Oh my god, guys hurry up here." I yelled down to Rosalie and Bella and Renesmee and Jacob, who I'd heard come through the door. Jacob was up first a grin on his face fallowed by the girls. "What is it Alice?" Jacob asked in his husky voice. Since Renesmee was born, Jacob had become great friends with us with his fellow companions; Seth, Leah, Quill and Embry. My worried, yet excited expression got them confused. "I saw a vision. There were two new vampires in the family. I didn't see exactly who." I explained in my bell like voice. They stared at me in surprise. Bella ran over to me. "Wow really? That means... 10 in the family!" She breathed. I nodded. Rosalie's eyes grew wide, before she went back to the TV and so did Bella. "I'll come see you after 90210 Al." She smiled at me. I knew that she knew how I felt. Renesmee fallowed, just leaving me and Jacob. "Well Alice, do you want to go for a walk?" He asked me. I had to admit, Jacob was one of my best friends, apart from the smell, and he was great. I grinned at him and linked arms. But he groaned when I did so. "Not the arm linking!" He whined. I chuckled and took my arm back. "Okay." We strode outside, into the blistering heat. We continued into the forest and wandered aimlessly along. "So, how's the Bella and Rosalie thing coming on?" He asked me giving me a playful shove. I stuck my tongue out at him, though it never hurt, my white marble skin. "Fine I guess. At least I have you." I shoved him back harder and he tripped up on a twig. I laughed at this, he joined in. "Well if it's any reassurance to you Alice, Bella told me that she likes you and me just the same as Rosalie. And that you shouldn't be jealous." He grinned. I knew he was right or Bella even. But I still couldn't get over the jealousy. "Sure." I shrugged. He didn't seem convinced, but he dropped the conversation. "So I hear you and Bella are planning a party. Am I invited?" He teased, looking into the distance. I knew he missed his old pack and his father even though he bumped into them from time to time. "Yes, and so is Embry, Quill, Seth and Leah." I informed him. Another one of his grins, Bella's grin as she had claimed it, stretched across his face. "Aw, they're going to be so happy." He chuckled. We headed over to the cottage my family had built for Bella and Edward. We took a seat on the porch. Suddenly another vision took place. And this time it wasn't so great. Bella was at Charlie's and they were talking, then she told him we were vampires. And the vision was for today, right now. "NO!" I shouted, springing back up. Jacob looked confused. "SHE CAN'T TELL HIM WHO WE ARE! NO, NO, NO, NO!" I started to run fool speed ahead to try and catch her up. But she was already gone. "Alice, wait up! What have you seen?" I could hear Jacob approaching me. I turned around with a panicked expression. Jacob finally caught up. "She's going to tell Charlie." I flung my hands up in defeat. He shook his head. And ran over to the garage. "Not if we can stop her. Get in!" He demanded, and walked round to the passenger side, knowing that I could drive faster. I hopped in to my yellow porch and started the engine. The garage door was already open, so I could go full speed ahead. We were at Charlie's in a matter of 2 minutes. And Bella was only at the door. "BELLA! NO! You can't tell Charlie. What are you thinking?" I yelled, slamming the door. Jacob was round by my side already. Bella turned round. "My dad needs to know Al. I mean if he knows then I could see him longer!" She explained helplessly, her hand was hanging deadly on the door bell. Jacob was the one to speech first. "Bella. He could tell people. It's breaking the rule." He told her sternly. She scowled but pressed the doorbell anyway. I groaned. "Not if I only give him a clue." She sighed, before the door heaved open. Charlie stood in the doorway. "Oh hello, Alice, Jacob and Bella. Come in!" He greeted us cheerfully. Bella walked in, and me and Jacob dragged behind. We sat in his small living room. I remembered when we I came down to visit here when Bella was still human. "Dad, I need to tell you something." Bella inhaled deeply, trying to calm herself. Charlie looked at her concerned. "Bella, please, don't do this." I pleaded, desperate for her to listen. I thought about the volteri. Would they come back? Would they give us another chance? I didn't think so. But she ignored me. "It's your death." Jacob rolled his eyes and went to sit on the couch, to watch the scene. I went with him. Charlie already knew about Jacob's secret. "Dad, we, the Cullens are not what you think we are. We're not human." She muttered. Just loud enough for Charlie to hear. I clenched the side of the couch. My hands started to sweat. He still looked confused. "We're.... undead... we're vampires" She highlighted the last word with a careful tone.
