The Family Ties
Chapter 3 Alice POV
Five years ago, I lost my best friend, my only true friend outside the family, and the loss is terrible for the whole entire family as well, even Rosalie.
It is by far the worse for Edward, then the rest of us. He lost the love of his existence, but I'm not as sympathetic to him, because it was his choice to leave Bella and take all of us with him. It is his fault that we are all suffering.
Grrrr…
I hear his low warning growl coming from the top floor of our Alaskan home.
I ignore him.
He can't do anything about my private thoughts. Like I said, it's his fault we are all miserable.
"ALICE!" he growled
"What, Edward? You know that all of this is your fault. Youare the one that pushed Bella into the glass and caused her to bleed more than just a paper cut! Youare the one with the strong bloodlust toward Bella! That's what sent my Jasper over the edge and you know it! He had to feel ALL of our bloodlust that day, but she was YOUR singer! And it was YOU that chose to leave her and take all of us with you instead of CHANGING HER!"
I scream out the last part. I didn't notice that by the time I finished my rant, the entire family was down here.
"Ali, Darlin', calm down. It's okay. Bella forgave me for charging her when it happened."
"I told you all that she deserves better than becoming a soulless monster like me" Edward stated.
"Enough children, we need a family meeting, so everyone into the dining room. You too, Edward."
We all piled into the dining room that we only used for meetings such as this. We each took our respective seats and waited for our Patriarch to begin. I've been thinking about Bella so much that I don't know what this is about.
Possibly a first for me.
"I called this meeting because we need a full work up of new identification and when I tried to get a hold of Jenks, the number was turned off. What I need to know is, have any of you heard if he was okay? Is there someone else in his place if he is not okay? What are your thoughts?" Carlisle asked us.
I tried looking for Jenks's future and was coming up blank. It was totally black.
"Carlisle, his future is coming up totally black."
"Ali, look for Peter or Char. They will know what is going on if Jenks is gone" my mate told me.
I did what he said and started panicking. Their future is the same as Jenks…
"OMG, OMG, OMG. NO…NO…NO. THIS CAN'T BE!"
I don't even know I am talking out loud 'til I came back to myself and everyone was looking at me with concern and panic. I felt Jasper send out a dose of calm.
"Darlin' calm down. What's got ya so panicked?" my mate's accent coming out strong with my emotions.
"It's Peter and Char!"
I yell out, still panicking. 'Cause this could very well bring out the Major.
And I was right.
There he goes.
His back straightened and his eyes turned pitch black.
SHIT!
"One, take that bass outta ya voice, Mary Alice. Two, wha' 'bout ma Capt'n and Lieutenant?" he drawled out.
I took a deep breath and lowered my voice so I wouldn't get in any more trouble, and told him and everyone else about my vision, or lack thereof.
"Their future is the same results I got when looking for Jenks. Just pure black." I sobbed out.
Major took his phone out and with a low curse, dialed Peter's number. We all waited with bated breath as the phone rang once, twice, three times and then we started really getting worried, knowing he usually picks up after no more than two rings.
After the fifth ring and a lot of cursing from Major and praying from me, the phone picked up, but before Major could say anything, we all heard Peter yelling at someone…
"…lock up like that! Ya do that in a real fight or battle, you'll get yer head taken off! Now, lock up like I taught ya!"
Then we heard him mumble…
"Fuckin' newborns."
Jasper/Major POV
I haven't talked to Jenks for anything since before we moved to Forks, so I'm not sure what's goin' on with him. I know he is usually adamant about answering calls from Cullen's phones due to me puttin' the fear of God in him.
'Maybe you scared him one too many times and he finally kicked the bucket'
"Whatever, Jas, a lil' fear ain't gonna kill 'em!"
I sit here listenin' to Alice talk about ma Capt'n and his mate not showin' up in her visions. I 'clair, if somethin' happened to them, I'ma gonna find a way to bring 'em back ta life and beat the shit outta 'em and then kill 'em again!
I take out my phone and dial the familiar number that I hadn't used in almost five years.
Have ta admit, gettin' real nervous with him not pickin' up after two rings.
He finally picks up and we all hear him yellin' at some newborn? And mumblin'. Both Jas and I are in agreement on this an' we say…
"Wha' the HELL CAPT'N?"
He chuckles, "Hiya, Major! Long time no hear. What's it been, almost five years?"
"Yea, and you didn't ansa' ma question, Capt'n."
He sighs, "I'm fine, Char's fine, everythang's fine, just trainin' some newborns and no I'm…"
Whateva he was 'bout ta say was cut off by the Capt'n growlin' and cursin'. I can feel the family's worry ova what's goin' on, but ignore 'em.
"Capt'n?"
"MOTHER FUCKER! What the hell ya bite me for?"
'I'm thirsty sir'
"Ya idiot! Do I look like I got fuckin' blood in me!? There are dozens of Igloo water coolers all 'round here, filled ta tha brim wit' blood! Go get ya somethin' ta drink 'til time ta feed. Ya'll do this shit every time Lil' Bit goes outta town, ya'll act a plum fool!"
'Please Captain' the newborn whimpers, 'please don't tell Lil' Bit! I'M SORRY! Won't do it again, PLEASE!'
Everyone's looking around at each other, worried and wondering who this "Lil' Bit" is and why Peter's working for them. Their emotions are ranging from curious, wonder, and worry to excitement from Em.
"Capt'n?"
I ask again and this time I get an answer.
"Yea Major, I'm back, but I gotta go. I know what ya need and Jenks passed away almost three years ago. There's a new person out of Aspen that handles everything now, by the name of Williams, Isabella Williams. I will send you the office number and ya'll can set up an appointment. With ya needing the full work-up, ya all need ta go out there an' expect ta stay at least a week, maybe more 'cause she's a high profile attorney fer both the human and supernatural worlds. Don't worry 'bout findin' somewhere ta stay, she'll put ya up. But I got ta go…oh, an' one mo' thang, Major, Pixie and Eddie, don't flip out when yer powers stop workin'…

Since he was okay, I had let Jasper come back while he was talking.
I hung up the phone in shock and I could feel that the rest of the family was in shock as well.
"Wow, COOL!"
Emmett was the first one to break the silence around the table.
"What do you think is around there that will cause your powers to not work?" he asked the rest of us.
I was next to snap out of it.
"I'm not sure, but if it was a danger to us, Peter would've warned us to be on our guard as well."
My phone beeped with the address and phone number to this new lawyer, a Ms. Isabella Williams.
That first name is painful to hear and see, 'cause even though I wasn't close to her like Emmett, I considered her my little sister as well.
I hear a hiss coming from Eddie and I smirk at him.
'If ya don't like what I'm thinkin', stay the fuck outta ma head.'
