Hey guys! So I rewrote this cap! I'm sooo much more satisfied with it now, still not thoroughly but it's o.k. I hope you like it! Please don't be too hard on me; English is not my first language!
Loud voices could be heard from outside, one female one male. Even though Bell couldn't understand one single word that was said, she was still able to tell it was two people arguing. After a few seconds Alice entered the room through the window, followed by Carlisle.
"But why?" asked the elderly vampire with a confused look on his face. "I've already told you a million times now!" Alice screamed, throwing her hands up in frustration, a very unlike behavior for the usually bubbly girl. Instead of almost dancing across the room like she normally did, Alice let her feet thump hard against the floor. She looked like a sulking child, almost human. "But that's no reason Alice!" he tried to stay calm but failed completely, his calm façade crumbling away. "If it is no reason that I don't want to live as a vegetarian anymore, then what is one?" Her voice was filled with despair. Fists clenched she finally came to a halt, facing the wall. "O.K. it is a reason, but not yours!" Everyone watched them quietly and tried to figure out, what was going on, needless to say that they didn't really succeed. But they figured it was better to stay back and watch. Both of their family members were way out of character and the tension in the room started to build. "And how do you wanna know that?" the pixie like vampire yelled, her voice nearly breaking. "I know it!" he put his hands onto her shoulders to hold her back; she still wasn't facing him. "I know YOU!" Alice face saddened instantly and she looked like a small child, who had just been slapped across the face.
Looking at the floor she whispered, barely audible, "You have no idea, you know nothing about me. Nothing." He spun her around so she had to look at him, if she wanted or not. "THAT is not true and you know it!" although he wanted to seem confident, everyone noticed that he didn't really believe it himself, it sounded half-hearted. The young vampire looked him straight into the eye and with coldness in her voice, that no one thought her capable of she added "So? Do I?…well nothing that's important!"
Her whole body started trembling and if she had been able to cry, tears would be streaming down her face; but instead a dry sob escaped her lips. He didn't understand her, he didn't believe her, he just didn't! O.k. fine, maybe it wasn't the best idea, to tell him that she wanted to leave because she didn't want to live as a vegetarian anymore. She should have thought it through more clearly, but that was the first thing that came to her mind. She should have known better! It didn't sound the least bit reasonable. She had to find another reason and it better be a good one. She just had to leave, go somewhere else, somewhere far away from here, where they wouldn't find her and take Jasper with her. It would be horrible, if he found out the truth. He could not know. Never. None of them could know; her "oh so immortal" life would end right there on the spot. At first she had thought she could stand it, for all of them, but it was simply too much to bear. And if she kept this up, she would break.
"Alice, please stay! I love you." Carlisle begged, trying to catch her gaze, grabbing her shoulders even harder. She pulled away, with as much force as possible and screamed, her eyes showing immense pain "NO YOU DON'T!" and with that she stormed out of the window and into the forest leaving her family behind; confused and without a single clue about what just happened.
Each of them felt the urge to run after her, but at the same time they all knew, it was better to leave her alone for some time. She wouldn't talk to them anyway, she needed time to think. If Alice had an idea stuck in her head, it was hard to talk her out of it. She was stubborn like a mule but that has never been a problem before and all of them hoped it wouldn't become one now.
"Edward, do you know what's really going on with her? Why she wants to leave?", Carlisle's voice broke through the thick layer of silence "Alice wants to leave us?", Jasper's eyes widened in shock a faint wisp of agony clearly swinging in his voice. "Don't worry Jazz, she won't leave! And if, she'll take you with her, I'm sure!" Esme tried to calm him down instantly, wrapping him in a calming embrace, softly rocking him back and forth. "She won't leave, right? Carlisle? Edward?" The blond vampire asked in an alerted voice, looking at them alternately. Alice and Rosalie were like sisters, it didn't show often that they deeply cared for each other, but they surely did. It was obvious that Jasper needed her but she did too. "I'm not sure Rose, I'm not sure. I wish I would know, but I really don't. I'm sorry." Emmet felt his girlfriend tense beside him, and took her into his arms like Esme had done to Jasper before. She buried her face in the crook of his neck shuddering lightly.
"Edward? Do you know anything?" Carlisle sounded even more worried, the last shimmer of hope in his eyes had already died. Never had anyone seen him this helpless and out of control. "I don't. I have absolutely no clue. She blocked me out the whole time. She has already done that before." His face showed absolutely no emotion, he looked almost like a sculpture, but then again Edward always did. Sometimes it was hard to tell whether he actually couldn't feel or didn't want to jeopardize people's lives with emotions about things only he knew due to his mind reading ability. "Do you think it was always about the same thing?" "I'm not quite sure, it could have something to do with… Oh forget it!", he already turned around, ready to leave, pulling Bella with him. "Edward!" Bella could tell, Carlisle was close to losing his temper but also that Edward really dreaded to tell what he knew. Facing Carlisle again his expression softened and almost sympathetic look crossing his face, "Most of the time she did it, you were around." At this Carlisle's face faltered completely, Edward winced. "Carlisle, I'm sorry! I'm probably wrong, after all why should she? I bet I'm wrong! It's got to be coincidental!" But none of it worked, the elderly vampire didn't light up the slightest bit. "It's alright. It's not your fault. Thank you for telling me and for being honest." If one thought Edwards face was emotionless sometimes, they hadn't heard Carlisle's voice. "I think Alice isn't the only one who needs time to think now. I will retreat to my room now." "Darling?" Esme sounded so broken, she had already lost her child a long time ago and now it seemed like her family, would break apart. She had been sure they would stay together forever; what changed? "Don't worry." the blonde man mumbled as he hugged her close to his chest a dry sob escaping her lips, "It's gonna be alright, everything will be o.k. again." She nodded against his shoulder. He lifted her head up "I love you Esme" and with that he left. He loved her. Did he? She wasn't sure. Something made his eyes go cold.
O.k. this is the last time I rewrote this chap! Now this is finall! ... No, really! :P xD
