Thanks for the reviews :) Here comes chapter three, enjoy!
Alice POV
"It's insane Alice!" Bella stared at me "you can't throw a party, not with everything else going on!"
"You would have let me if there was no battle?" I asked and raised a doubting eyebrow.
"Maybe not.. but still.. " the look on her face was quite amusing, how could anyone feel horror over a party? "Why?" she ended her sentence.
"Cause it'll be fun!" I said and smiled "graduation is a big deal Bella"
"Well, not to you and.. I don't care" she turned away from me like an obstinate child.
"You will do" I said "I know it" I added and laughed at her face expression.
"This time your vision is wrong" she protested.
"I don't think so" I said and raised up from her bed "but I should be going, Edward's going to be here any minute now" that last sentence seemed to calm her down a lot and to my surprise we actually hugged before I went down the stairs, waved goodbye to Charlie watching football as usual and then headed home.
"How did it go?" I was caught up in my loves arms as soon as I got through the door.
"As I expected" I said and both he and Emmett who was watching the news with my parents laughed. Then I caught up the sound from the television and so did Jasper as we both went closer to be able to see the screen.
"They must have got up in numbers" Emmett said with a big smile "this'll be the most fun we've had in years!" I rolled my eyes at my brother. To my surprise I didn't hear anything from Jazz but it was like he tensed a little. I wondered what he was feeling. Sometimes that empath-thing should be really nice to have..
"Is it bad? Jasper?" I was glad that Carlisle was the one asking and not me, Jazz hated my pity. He shrugged,
"I don't know" he said "probably not, just means that we need the wolves even more" the last he said with great reluctance. Carlisle looked concerned at him and I watched his glance slide too Jaspers arm.
"I'm fine" Jazz defended himself before Carlisle even said a word.
"I know" Carlisle tried to soften him by leaving the subject. Always that overprotective, so much that he'd rather not talk about it than upset one of us.
I met Jaspers glance in a desperate try to tell what he was thinking but without any result. Though, I noticed something, his eyes were nearly black.
"You're starving" I said "wanna go hunting?" he didn't answer immediately, seemed to think about it.
"Can I join?" Emmett look thrilled at me and I smiled,
"Sure" then turned to Jazz "what about you love?" I turned on my puppy eyes and started to slowly caress his arm.
"I guess" he said and I smiled. I was pleased over that I succeeded to persuade him but still worried about his doubt to do it. Why wouldn't he want to? And almost as important, why wouldn't he tell me why?
"Come on, let's go!" Emmett was already at the door eagerly waiting for us.
I sank my teeth trough the deers' soft skin and found a great vain. The blood was tasty, pure without any of that strange aftertaste that often were there depending on what the animal had been eating. I was hungry since we'd missed the last hunt at drank all of the deer and then had another one. Then I went searching for my brothers. Emmett wasn't hard to find, he'd never been the quite type, but I didn't see Jazz anywhere. He'd probably just went a little longer to find bigger animals but I had a strange feeling..
"Hey, Em!" I caught his attention when he was sneaking up on a cougar and he glared at me as it ran away but I didn't care "have you seen Jazz?" I asked.
"Not since I got my eyes on that cougar.. " he said acting sulky and I rolled my eyes at him.
"I'm so sorry" I said without meaning it at all "but I can't find him"
"Then let's search" Emmett must finally had realised how worried I was "we go opposite directions"
We'd been searching the woods for I don't know how long now. Emmett had suggested that we'd go home and talk to the others and then continue the next day but I had just shut him of. I refused to leave without Jasper and didn't care how long it would take to find him.
"Alice, seriously" Emmett came back after he'd checked the southern part one more time and laid his hand on my shoulder "we can't just go on for hours" I shook it off,
"Hadn't you if it had been Rosalie?" I asked.
"No, and now I'm calling Carlisle" he took up his cell. I had called on Jaspers like a hundred times but then I remembered, he never had it with him we he hunted. That was extremely stupid of him and I didn't know why, it was just one of his old battle manners I guessed. Anyway I should personally check that he had it with him every time we'd go hunting from now. If I'd see him again.. of course I will! I forced myself to think. With that thought in mind I decided that going home was not the same as giving up.
"Don't call" I took Emmetts' cell phone "we're going home"
The whole family was quiet and seemed down when we came through the door. I realised that Edward must have heard our thoughts and told the others. Esme rushed towards me and gave me a hug,
"He's coming back sweetie" she assured me but I just shook my head,
"You can't know that" I rested my head on her shoulder.
"Have you searched everywhere?" I heard Carlisle ask Emmett and he nodded.
"Alice" my father placed a gentle hand on my shoulder "have you seen.. something that might give us a clue?" I shook my head, let go of Esme and sat down on the stairs,
"Nothing"
"Maybe now is the time to tell" Edward said looking seriously at me.
"They can't be connected" I said. How could they be? That was my only tiny hope right now. If my vision of him being killed were true, then he'd come back before the battle.
"You don't know that" he said "she's seen Jasper getting killed in the battle"
I tried my hardest to murder him with my glance as everyone else frightfully stared at me.
