There was no resisting the song we both heard; for she was our singer, she was
Nostre Cantante.
"Alice, what is it darling? What do you see?" Alice had that far away look on her face, the look that told me that she was not seeing me or the rest of the family. But we all saw her and I could feel all their dread as they waited for her to tell us what was now heading our way. Things had just started to settle into some semblance of normalcy. The Voltori had left in defeat and we hoped that they would leave us in peace. We had really not defeated them but we had spoiled their plans to take my family out. Along with the help of our friends from the La Push packs and the vampire friends and family that we had gathered as witnesses, we had convinced them that murdering us was not in their best interest at this time. I just could not imagine that they were going to start on us again so soon. "Alice darling, talk to me. What do you see?"
"We have to go Jasper!' she finally focused on me but with a wild look on her face that I had never seen before, 'we have to find her!"
"Find who Alice?" Edward came up to the staircase where Alice and I had sat to just enjoy the night and the music that Edward was playing for Bella.
"Nostre Cantante" That was all my wife said while she again had that far away look on her face.
"Our singer? Darlin what are you talking about?" I remember that Aro had called Bella by a name similar to that. He said she was Edward's singer or Tua Cantante. Now Alice was talking about another singer for one of us, but who? Who was the singer and who was he or she for? Since Edward had finally found Bella we were all mated.
"Jasper', Alice looked at me, 'I don't know how or why but I know that she is OUR singer Jasper. Mine AND yours! We have to find her!"
"Alice', now our father figure Carlisle came up and was trying to calm down my wife, 'how can she be both your and jasper's singer? Is this even possible?
"I don't know Carlisle but I know that we have to go to Italy and find her. She is in DANGER! They will get her and use her to get to us!' Now Alice grabbed my arm and put her full vampiric strength into pulling me up the stairs, 'Hurry Jasper! We have to go!"
"Darlin please calm down and talk to me,' I focused my power on Alice and watched as she finally started to breath evenly again. I could feel her emotions start to even out but she still continued to pull me up the stairs, 'you have to start at the beginning Alice and tell me what you see."
"I will tell you everything but you have to come and pack. We have to be on the next plane to Italy." I let her pull me up into our room and stood and watched as she moved with vampiric speed to pack a carry on bag for us both. Edward and Carlisle had followed us into our room and now the entire family was standing at the door watching Alice flit from the closet to the bags on the bed. They, like me, were waiting on Alice to explain her vision. I caught her as she came out of the closet for the third time. Although she at first struggled against me she finally calmed enough for me to lead her to the foot of the bed where she sat and looked up at the family and began to explain what had her so strung out.
"I was just sitting there with Jazz listening to you play Edward and all of a sudden I was in the main square in Milan, Italy and she was there! I felt her Jazz', Alice looked at me with a longing in her eyes that I usually only saw when we were in bed, 'She is human Jazz and she calls to me like no human has ever called to me before. I know you are my one and only true mate Jasper but she is OUR mate. I feel it! And I feel that she is in danger. There is something there that is hunting her and I can not let them have her!"
"Who Hooo "manage a twa"! Emmett whopped out and shook the entire room with his laughter. 'what are you two gonna do? Double team her?" Rose smacked him on the back of his head and Esme gave him a withering look.
"Of course you will go find her darling', Esme came into the room and sat and gathered Alice in her arms. I could feel Alice calming even more in the arms of our mother, 'but if she is human and your singer, won't she be in just as much danger from you and Jasper as she is from the unseen one hunting her?"
"I know Esme and I don't know', Alice looked at me as if she were only speaking to me, 'I don't see us hurting her but we have to get there soon. They are hunting her!"
"Who is hunting her Darlin?" I took her from Esme and gathered her into my arms trying to soothe her as much as I could. I was now starting to feel her panic.
Only two words came from my wife. But they grabbed the attention of our entire family. The two words we did not want to hear again for a long time.
"THE VOLTURI".
