Chapter 3
Her smell was so much more stronger then my other two singers had been. There was something different in her blood, something mysterious that I had never smelt before in all my life. I HAD to find out what it was.
"Oh no you don't," Edward said, taking one of my arms as Jasper took the other, leading me into our hotel lobby. I could feel Jasper radiating peaceful vibes as we took the elevator up to our room on the top floor.
I was slowly calming down as my brother sat me down on the couch. I knew that I could never thank them enough for removing me from that situation.
"I'm so sorry," I apoligized to my family. Jacob had Renesemee as far from me as possible and I didn't blame him.
"Its okay," Esme insisted as she sat next to me and hugged me.
"Do you know who she is?" I heard Carlisle ask Alice across the room.
"No, not really," Alice replied, annoyed. "She was very difficult to get a read on. The only reason that I knew she was around was because I saw..." she quickly stopped talking, not wanting to say aloud what we all already knew.
"Did you hear any of her thoughts?" Jasper wondered, looking over at Edward. They were all trying to make sure we didn't cross paths again.
"I didn't hear anything that would help us know where NOT to go," Edward replied, deep in thought.
"What did you hear?" Bella wondered, seeing the way his eyebrows pulled together, as if trying to figure something out.
"Nothing that made much since to me," Edward answered perplexed.
"Maybe its was a Brit thing," I replied, feeling more like myself. Renesemee giggled and moved away from Jacob to come and hug me. He followed her closely, but there was really no need. I felt like myself again.
"Thank I would understand it," Carlisle interjected. "Seeing that technically I'm a 'Brit'. What did she think that you don't understand?"
"This is so odd," Edward said, pacing. "Something about there being a 'Massive amount of muggles', whatever that is."
"Muggles?" Alice wondered.
"What on earth is a muggle?" Esme pondered.
"What else did you hear, Edward?" Carlisle demanded, causing the room to look his way. He looked like he had seen a ghost. Edward's eyes widened at whatever Carlisle was thinking and answered quickly.
"She was thinking about needing to hurry up so she could get to somewhere called Diagon Alley to get new quils for the reopening of Hogwarts next week. She then thought about a war that had just be found and how happy she was that it was all over and that she could finish her 7th and final year of school."
Carlisle's eyes widened to mimick Edward's and sat down in one of the chairs near the window.
"That girl had a lot of thoughts," Jacob replied, grinning. "We were hardly around her. Maybe for a minute, tops."
"What are you thinking, Carlisle?" Esme asked, worried at the speechlessness of her husband.
"I didn't even think they existed," Edward replied to something Carlisle had thought.
"What is it?" Jasper demanded, his military mode setting into action.
"Yeah," Jacob agreed. "What's a muggle and why does this girl need quils to go to school? hasn't she ever heard of pens and pencils?" He laughed at his own joke.
"A muggle," Carlisle started, finally finding his voice,"is a non-magical human. And they've used quils and ink for centuries and the wizarding world doesn't like change very much." He answered Jacob, smiling.
"What?" Bellas exclaimed.
"Huh?" Renesmee gasped.
"Wow, wow, wow. Now wait just a minute. Are you telling me, a werewolf, who is in a room full of vampires, that wizards exist?" Jacob wondered, shocked at this new bit of information.
"Yes," Carlisle answered, grinning. Now that he knew that she was a wizard , he didn't seem nearly as uptight.
"So you knew they existed?" Alice wondered, interested in why she had never 'seen' them before.
"Yes," Carlisle repeated.
"And you knew they were here in London, but you didn't bother to tell the rest of us?" Jasper practically barked.
"Actually, they are all over the world," Carlisle explained. "there is more of a population here in England because the Ministry of Magic is here. And we aren't in any danger," he replied to Jasper. "You wouldn't have really ever known that they existed except for the fact that Emmett..."he faded out, not knowing really what to say.
"If I hadn't temperaily lost my mind," I tried to supply.
"Thank you Emmett," Carlisle smiled. "They won't hurt us, as long as we don't hurt them or humans."
"Are you sure about that?" Jasper wondered, obviously no liking the fact that he didn't know from first hand experience.
"Yes, I've actually had good friends that were wizards," Carlisle replied.
"Really?" Nessie asked excitedly. "What were they like, Papa?"
"They were very nice," he answered, smiling at his only grandchild. "The things they could do with a flick of their wrist and a few words were just incredible. I think you would quite enjoy watching them do their thing."
"Can we meet one of your friends?" Nessie asked, with her hands folded in a pleading way, batting her eyes up at Carlisle. When she does this face to him, or any of us really, she gets basically whatever she asks for.
"I'm not so sure about that, Ness," Jacob replied, walking closer to where she stood.
"No," Jasper insisted, looking as if he was about to spring to the door to stop anyone who might try and meet one.
"I don't think so," Edward agreed quietly, looking over at Alice, who was being unusually quite and still.
Everyone stopped talking and focused on Alice, waiting to see what she had to say on the issue.
My approach to watching Alice while she is having a vision had changed over the years. I used to roll my eyes and get bored, so I would run around and see how many different things I could do until it was over. But as I've gotten older, I started watching Edwards face to see if it was good, bad or indifferent.
As I sat there and watched, there were a handful of emotions that played on his face. Sad, worried, shocked, more shocked and happy. He looked over at me and quickly looked at Alice.
"Nessie, you'll get to meet some wizards, I promise," Alice answered, grinning. I had mixed motions on that particular grin.. Sometimes when she grins like that after a vision, fun things happen. Other times...not so much.
"Really?" my neice spuealed and hugged Jacob.
"What did you see, Alice?" Esme asked, worried and intrigued.
She looked at Edward and the at me and her grin grew wide. "You'll see."
Hope you like this chapter. Please review if you do, because I'm not sure if I'm going to keep writing it if I don't get more reviews. Anywho, Happy Reading.
