Dancing was the least of her concern. She needed to make sure Bella didn't do anything stupid on her birthday. She liked wild and crazynand the last thing she needed was for Bella to act calm. Alice wanted to turn up and go have a blast with her family.

Alice put on her strapless red velvet dress. She adjusted her dress and walked in front of a mirror. She looked at herself and put her hands on her hips. She turned and looked at herself. She smiled with her red lipstick on. She smiled and flashed her teeth. Nothing could ruin her birthday. She was powerful. Nothing couild stop her on this day. No one would ruin her birthday she wanted to celebrate for over a hundred years.

Jasper knocked on the door. "Are you ready? Esme just baked a cake for you and she finished the blood icing. Edward, Bella, and Jacob are running late, but everyone else is here."

Alice rolled her eyes and looked into the future to see when they would get here. Thankfully, it was in about six minutes. Alice stepped out of her dressing closet and presented herself to Jasper. She felt a wave of confidence surge through her body. He smiled brightly and kissed her. He had a black suit on with a blue tie. He put his hands on her hips and pressed her to the wall for more kissing. After a minute or two, she pushed him away and smiled. She grabbed his tie and pulled him forward.

"That's your gift for me later tonight," Alice bit her lower lip.

Jasper pressed his forehead to hers. "Let's go downstairs."

Alice clapsed his hands and held them. She gazed into his eyes. The eyes of her lover she had caught and never let go of, nor planned to. Jasper smiled and guided her to the door. She walked down the steps with such grace a doe would be jealous and a ballerina would look clumsy. Alice let her violet slippers touch the steps and it felt like the tile was meant for her feet and her feet only.

Esme had a camera out and was taking pictures. Charisle was smiling his old smile and Rosalie was arm in arm with Emmett. They were drinking blood out of champagne glasses. They were looking happily at Alice and almost congratulating her with every second they smiled. If she had any blood in her body she would've blushed, but since she didn't, she put on a thin face powder of rosy pink.

Alice finally reached the bottom step and let her feet touch the tile ground with the ease and grace of a cat. She stepped forward and hugged Esme. Together, the entire family, including Bella, Edward, and Renessmee who had just arrived, moved to the cake for her to cut. They lit three number candles saying two-hundred sevent-five. They sung the modern happy birthday song and she blew out the candles on the three stacked cake.

The cake was bright red as if they were cherries straight from a jar she saw back at school. The icing was flowing down like a royal carpet and was thick and sweet. Esme had collected blood and sugar to make the icing and the cake was blood instead of water, which made it edible for Alice. Esme gave her a long silver knife.

Alice cut the cake and gave everyone a piece. She let Jasper feed her her first bite. She felt the sweet metallic cream go down her throat. She closed her eyes because she had never tasted something so unique. Smiling, she opened her eyes and took her fork from Jasper and fed him his bite.

"Ewww," Renessmee said. "Why do you two have to share each others spit?"

Bella put her hand over her daughter's mouth and started to drag her off, but Alice put her hand up. "Come here Renessmee," she said. Bella let go of her and she stepped forth and stood front and center of Alice. Alice bent over slightly so that their foreheads touched. "Well… sometimes people love each other very much. And when that happens, they want to express that love. Your mother and my brother expressed that by having you. We express it by feeding each other."

"Really?"

"Yes. Now go upstairs to your old room. I think Jacob can entertain you there."

Renessmee smiled and so did Alice. She bounded up the stairs and Jacob followed her. Alice heard the door click shut. Alice turned back to Bella. Bella put her hands on her hips. "Did you really have to say that?"

"No, but I did anyway."

"Why?"

"Because it's my birthday."

"Okay," Bella said surrendering. Alice turned and walked the designated dance floor, but then she heard something. A loud crash. She turned and saw a fire. Jasper laid decapitated on the ground from a chandelier falling on him. Alice tried to run for him, but then a burning beam caught Jasper on fire. She looked quickly into the future and saw that he wasn't going to make it out. She leapt over the beam anyway. She tried to save him. The fire became too much and she would burn to death if she stayed in there any longer. She rushed out of the house as Jacob skittered down the stairs in wolf form while Renessmee rode on his back.

Bella and Edward ran out of the house. Charisle tried to get Jasper's head, but the fire burned his hand. The fire drove him back and Esme had to grab him and pull him out of the house. Rosalie tried to retrieve the body, but Emmett locked his arm around her chest and carried her back. Alice was the last out of the house. She had burns on her face and hands, but she refused to give up. Once she saw that Jasper's remains were completely covered in flames and wood, she was forced to retreat. She was on fire. She managed to stop, drop, and roll at last. She only felt pain race through her body.

When the fire died away from her body, she looked around. Emotional pain was quickly taking over the physical fast. She couldn't cry, but she could become a statute. She gripped her knees and stared at the inferno. The fire rippled around and became a smoldering rage in Alice's heart. She should have heard it. Renessmee coming out of the room with a drone instead of focusing on getting to the dance floor. She should have looked into the future and done something to forsee it.

The fire became higher and so did Alice's anger. Revenge. She leapt at Renessmee for the killing blow, but Edward caught her in midair and slammed her to the ground. Alice fought him fang and nail. "Stop!" Bella punched Alice. Alice flew back fifteen feet on her stomach. She got to her feet.

"Who's on her side?" Alice said.

Charisle stepped forward and put his hand in front of him as if he was cutting the crap. "We're not picking sides. It was an accident." Alice licked her lips.

"I will not repeat myself."

"Then I will put you down," Esme said. Charisle and Esme stepped in front of Renessmee. So did Rosalie and Emmett. Jacob snarled and multiple wolves appeared from the shadows of the forest. They became a barrier for Alice. Seeing she wasn't going to win, Alice backed away slowly. She didn't move her eyes away from them. She started running. Deep into the woods, she disappeared. If the Cullen's, her own family wonld deny her revenge, she would seek others who would help her. Those who would protect her and accept her. The Volturi always wanted her.
