A.N: I am so sorry for not updating earlier, but you can be happy if you also like Harry Potter and Wicked, as I am dabbling in them as well, but Twilight is going to still remain a thing I write, I mostly write Harry/Hermione for Harry Potter as I know they belong together and for Wicked I am a fan of Elphaba and Fiyero.
*Disclaimer*
Bella: Say it.
Me: I am sorry to say that I don't own Twilight.
Bella's Point of View:
Today Alice's family was arriving, Alice was waiting to greet them and my parents were busy, so we were the welcoming committy, when a battered old carriage drove up I saw it was them as Alice was bouncing on the balls of her feet, it was quite amusing to see her excited to see someone she saw and talked to yesterday, then again, I've heard love does strange things to people. First to leave the carriage was a man in his fourties, he was tall, blonde and Alice hugged him.
"Daddy, you came, your highness this is my father, Carlisle Brandon." She said, he got the bags out and assisted out a caramel hair coloured woman of fourty. "Mommy." She squealed. "Princess, my mother." She introduced, next was a man of a big build, Alice hugged him too. "Emmy." So this was Emmett, looks like a hard worker. "Princess, Emmett." She said, she was bouncing more with each family member. Next came a blonde girl, clearly Rosalie.
"I'm sure your Rosalie, Alice has more brothers than sisters." I said, Rosalie nodded and curtiesed.
"Princess, meet Edward." She said indecating a god, he had bronze hair and emerald eyes, must be a strange family, weird coloured mystical eye colours run in the family. Alice looked to the carriage and frowned. "Where's Jasper?" She asked, panic evident in her voice.
"Jasper wanted to bring Bluebell, you mustn't worry Alice." Her mother said, but then Alice took to scanning the grounds.
"Who's Bluebell?" I asked Emmett, who was nearest to me.
"Her horse, she loves that horse." He answered, I nodded, then I saw Alice jumping up and down in excitment and saw a white horse thundering up the drive, clearly Jasper and Bluebell. The moment the horse reached us, the rider jumped off and picked up Alice spinning wildly with her, I smiled along with her family, it was sweet, he definately loved her back, they both spoke yesterday. They finally stopped spinning, and walked back to us all.
"I'm sure you'll all want to see your rooms, I think Alice got very little sleep last night, awaiting your arrival and preparing your rooms, I'll have Bluebell taken to the stables by Olsen." I informed them, leading them inside. "The foyer needs to be redone." I called to Alice's mother, I think she called her Esme.
"Oh yes princess, light colours would shine brightly here." She commented, I liked that, Alice's family seemed lovely. "How's Alice been so far?" She asked more quietly, hurring her pace to ask me.
"She is a marvel." I told her. "She cleaned my messy room to spotless within five minutes yesterday." I commented loudly enough for all her family to hear, while she went red.
"Oh yes, she loved cleaning the house back home, then she would be tutored by Edward, and help Rosalie make dresses, she'd help Jasper in the garden and she'd help with plans for decorating homes." Esme said. "She was very helpful." She commented.
"A treasure, a rare, beautiful treasure, not to be left alone." I commented loudly.
"Well here we are, this is your room Edward." She said opening the door, it was beautiful, his bed was made with blue bedding, it matched the walls, we never had that bedding before, note to self, make sure Alice sleeps. Edward went inside and we left him to enjoy his room. "Rose, your room." She opened a pink room, once again, everything matched, I know we didn't have that bedding.
"Mary Alice Brandon, did you sleep?" I asked her, she averted her face from her families gaze.
"Maybe five minutes, I wanted it to be perfect." She said, I rolled my eyes.
"Onward we go." I said, she continued.
"Mother, Father, your room." She opened the door to a green room, we never had that bedding either, I'm sure she made them all. They went inside. "Emmett, be brutal." She said opening the door and closing her eyes. The room was red and now I'm sure she'd made the bedding.
"Short stuff, amazing." Emmett commented and shut the door behind him, lastly was Jasper's room, I'm curious about it now. We climbed to the top of the tallest tower, it was where we had put her family, she opened the door and squeezed her eyes tight, I gasped, along with Jasper, the room was amazing, a rich black colour with matching bedding and a small guitar lay in the corner.
"Alice, this is amazing." Jasper breathed, she opened her eyes. "Is that... my guitar?" He asked.
"I know what your like, you'd forget it." She smiled sheepishly.
"Well thank you Alice, it's perfect." Jasper said, taking her hand and squeezing it gently, I now knew what true love was, it was them.
"Your welcome, you like the view?" She asked shyly, you could see every inch of the palace grounds from here, it was spectacular. Jasper looked out the nearest window.
"Like it? I love it." He gasped, she smiled, not one of those bright smiles, a simple, sweet smile.
"Well then, Mary Mary quite contrary." I muttered.
"How does your garden grow?" She sang to Jasper, this seemed a regular thing between them, I was glad to witness this.
"With silver bells." He sang in bass, a good match to her soprano.
"And cockel shells." She sang.
"And pretty maids all in a row." He sang back, they then laughed in harmony, soprano and bass, it was melodic.
"Something tells me that happens a lot." I commented, reminding them that I was in the room.
"Yes." Alice answered.
"Well, I'd leave you to it, but Alice, we have duties to do, and I'd like to sit in the garden, your duty is to be waiting, you'll see your family later." I reminded her, she hugged Jasper and we left for the outside.
"What did you think?" She asked, turning to walk backwards, it looked like fun so I did too, it was fun.
"Your family are lovely, I'm glad their here, you and Jasper seem familiar with each other, it's a good thing." I told her. I looked up at the tower where her family now lived and saw them watching us out of the windows, I laughed along with Alice, in the topmost room, I could see Jasper watching us intently, or most likely Alice.
"Thanks for all those subtle hints that I would make a good wife." She chimed.
"So what was that thing with Jasper and the silver bells and pretty maids?" I asked, she laughed.
"Oh that, Jasper says it's because I sound like silver bells and I'm pretty." She blushed.
"Ah, Jasper said did he?" I asked intriegued.
"Yes, once I was gardening, on my own and was singing that song, I had just started singing, it was the day Jasper and Rosalie moved in with us, and they came out and sang the next line and we swapped over. It was soon mine and Jasper's thing to do while gardening." She finished with a clap of her hands.
"That sounds romantic, along with a rose every night." I commented.
"Well, we plant them in our garden and I help take care of them, Jasper helps take care of Bluebell, he knows how much I love her." Was her reply. "You know, when we finished in the garden, we'd lie on the floor and watch the clouds, making out that they were funny shapes, I once saw a heart, there's always a heart shaped cloud." She said, we reached my chair and I sat down, Alice laid on the floor and looked at the sky.
"Can you find it?" I asked.
"No." She frowned. "It's always there, even Jasper's seen it." She muttered.
"Maybe he brings it." I commented looking for it myself.
"How so?" She asked holding herself up by her arms and looking up at the sky.
"Well, love, makes the sky brighter, the stars shine brighter, it makes the world go round and if you find true love, you'll find a heart in the sky." I said, she looked at me with wonder, cocking her head to the side.
"Well, hello princess, Mary Mary, quite contrary." Jasper said approaching us, I looked to the sky and saw a heart outline, their heart.
"Alice." I breathed, she looked and smiled.
"You were right." She said smiling and then she patted the space next to her for Jasper to sit. "Sit sit you silly boy." She joked, he sat next to her willingly and immediatly, she either really liked the heart or him, or both.
"So how are you ladies?" Jasper asked.
"We're fine." I replied.
"Yup, we're cloud watching." Alice said smiling.
"Well, I see a heart, a rose and a bell?" Jasper said, I looked and there they were, the heart, the rose and the bell, their things.
"Their beautiful." Alice breathed, she then fiddled with the daisies by her, she wove them into a daisy crown and placed it on Jasper's head, I laughed, he didn't move it. "Are you all settled in?" She asked him.
"Yes and you?" He asked she blushed.
"Yes, my room is perfect." She answered.
"What does it look like?" I asked her, I'd never visited servents rooms but this girl could sew.
"I placed fabric agaist the walls and the ceiling." She answered averting her face from Jasper's eyes.
"Is it like your old room?" He asked gazing at her with such an intesity, I thought he could read her mind.
"Yes, rather much." She answered.
"Then it must be beautiful." I answered, earning an approving smile from Jasper, I didn't mind, in the past two days I'd come to respect, even like Alice, learning about love as well. "Come Alice, I would like a bath." I said, Jasper got up quickly and helped her up, she thanked him and we walked into the castle to my room as Jasper went to his room. "Well that was a good afternoon." I commented, there was a knock at the door. "Come in." I called, Edward stepped in.
"Princess, tutoring shall begin tomorrow, I hope you had a pleasent afternoon." Edward said and left.
"I would like you and your family to call me Bella, I hate 'princess' or 'Isabella' I just want to be Bella." I told her.
"Yes Bella." She smiled brightly.
"Thank you." I whispered and she drew my bath. As soon as it was done I relaxed and sang to myself.
"Should I ever find true love,
I should find my heart in the sky,
On show for others to see I'm in love,
And they shall sing she's in love."
"That's beautiful Bella." Alice breathed.
"Do you sing?" I asked.
"With Jasper." She answered.
"I insist you two sing me to sleep." I told her. "Go tell him then." She left in a hurry, wanting to see Jasper. I stepped out of my bath and waited in my room for them to arrive. They walked in then, Jasper was carrying his guitar.
"Hello Bella." Jasper greeted me.
"Hello." I replied. "Well then, go on." I tried to stop the smile on my face. Jasper started stumming his guitar. I reconised the tune. (A.N: This is the english version of a welsh lullabye, I can't remember the last two lines, so I improvised.)
"Here tonight I tightly hold you,
And enfold you while you sleep,
Why I wonder are you smiling,
Smiling in your slumber deep,
Are the angels on you smiling,
And beguiling, you with charm,
While you slumber, dearest child,
Your always safe from harm.." The final chord struck and I was mesmorised, they were good, I decided to pretend to fall asleep, and then follow them. I heard the door open followed by a 'after you' and a giggle. The door closed and I lept out of bed and quickly and silently followed them, I could hear them from Alice's singing and Jasper's chuckles. They went up to Jasper's room and I was curious, had they all ready acted on their love? But no, they just sat and talked, I listened to their conversation.
"I think she liked it." Jasper commented.
"Absoloutly." Alice said flopping down on Jasper's bed. "I liked it too." She whispered.
"It was fun." Jasper agreed.
"Will you play for me?" She asked.
"Of course." Jasper said, he played an unfailiar tune that had Alice asleep within minutes. He set down the guitar and picked her up, being careful not to jolst her, he carried her out. "Hello Bella, trouble sleeping?" He asked.
"No, I wanted to find Alice, but I see she's sleeping, I'll show you her room." I said leading Jasper to her room, I opened the door and gasped, fabric was pinned to the walls and ceiling and some came accross the room, it looked like wonderland in here, it was magical, I spotted the bed and pointed to it, then I saw the colours, red, blue, gold, pink, green, silver and violet. I was curious, why these spesific colours, Jasper answered my unspoken question.
"These are our families favourite colours, Red for Rosalie, Blue for Emmett, Gold for Edward, Pink for Esme, Green for Carlisle, Silver for me and Violet for Alice." Jasper said.
"It's amazing." I looked at Alice, she used a tattered old blanket. "I must get her a new blanket." I noted.
"That's mine, I gave it to Alice as a gift before she came here." Jasper said. "She made me it." I smiled.
"Well we must let her sleep, she must have been tired." I said. "She hardly slept last night." We left her room and I went to mine while Jasper went to his. I drifted off wondering more on the strange girl with the violet eyes.
A.N: Finally learned to use those breaks, yey for me. I am sorry for the lack of Bella/Edward, but I have decided to finsh the Alice/Jasper part in the story, then Alice can help Bella and all that. Thank you to everyone who read this story and sorry for taking so long to post.
