Chapter 4

Relax

Alice POV

Carlisle knocked on our door and came in.

"How are you feeling" he asked.

"A little better" I replied quietly. I really hadn't noticed any change on how I was feeling. It still hurt a lot, but I tried to ignore it but failed.

"Tell me when it hurts" he said looking at me.

I nodded. He moved his hand to the center of my stomach and pressed gently down. "Oww" damn, that really hurt.

He frowned and looked at my torso. "You still need more time to heal. You were doing better yesterday" he said, confused.

"Alice got carried away and wouldn't stop moving yesterday and probably messed it up" Jasper said, sitting on the bed next to me.

"Sorry. I promise not to go OCD today" I promised, smiling.

"Ok, call me if you're in pain" he said as he walked out the door.

Jasper and I walked down the stairs. Everyone was there even Nessie. Then I had an idea.

"Who wants to play a game?" I asked.

"Games! What game?" Nessie asked, elated.

I giggled. "How about Monopoly?" I asked getting the game from the cabinet.

"Sure, why not" Edward said.

We set up the game easily and were playing in seconds. Monopoly goes on forever and I was winning by a lot. It got really boring after three hours and twenty-seven minutes, so I folded.

Luckily everyone was bored too so we put the game away. Jazz and I went back to our room.

I sat back on the bed because the pain was seeping back into me. It felt a lot better but still hurt.

Jazz came to sit with me. I looked into his eyes and smiled.

His eyes always seemed to twinkle when he looked at me. He was so beautiful. I laughed aloud.

"What's on your mind" he asked, looking at me.

"You" I said, smiling.

He kissed me on the lips and I wrapped my arms around his neck. He laughed quietly and kissed me again except with more passion. I returned the kiss happily; glad that I was here with him. He moved his hands around my stomach to my back but then froze.

Sometimes he was so annoying when he did that; making sure that he didn't hurt me or something like that. I pulled away and sighed.

I pressed myself against him and ran my fingers through his hair. He placed his hands on either side of my face and smiled.

Then Carlisle walked in. Yes, I was still being checked three times a day to make sure I was healing properly.

He inspected my arm carefully and thoroughly. My wrist hadn't really been any different since he fixed it yesterday. I really don't know why, and it was so annoying. It was really deformed and I tried really hard not to move it because it hurt at the smallest touch.

Carlisle and Jasper had some kind of exchange that I was trying to ignore, but it was really hard. Their voices got higher and higher and soon enough they left the room to talk about whatever they were saying.

I thought that Carlisle was done so I sat up and went downstairs. Nessie was there with Jake, Seth, and Leah. This really bothered me because now I had way of seeing a vision until they left.

"Hi Auntie Alice" she said happily.

Hey Nessie, nice to see you around here again" I said, smiling at her and the wolves.

"Do you want to come hunting with us" she asked, pointing at Jake and them.

"Sure, give me a second. I need to tell Jazz where I am going" I smiled and went up to Carlisle study.

I knocked on the door and he opened it almost immediately.

"I am going hunting with Nessie" I said turning to leave.

"Wait. Just her?" Jasper and Carlisle said in unison.

"No. They are coming too." I said.

I knew that Jasper was going to insist on coming with me, but I waited for his answer.

"I'll come with you" Jasper said almost automatically.

"It's fine. You are talking with Carlisle. We will be back soon" I said.

He nodded and handed me his phone. I rolled my eyes at him and laughed.

"See you later" I said, kissing him on the cheek.

We went about three miles northeast and then started to hunt. Nessie and Jake were in some competition to catch a deer the fastest, so they were off almost immediately.

That left me with Seth and Leah. I really didn't feel like hunting but ran off anyways.

Then a vision hit me.

Renesmee had just caught her deer and was about to head back to show Jake that she won.

Then Maria stepped out of the trees

Then I came out of the vision.

It looked like my vision was going to happen soon because everything looked the same. I ran off back to Leah and Seth.

"We have to find Renesmee" I said hurriedly. "Now" I ran after her scent with them following in wolf form.

Before we reached her I heard her scream. I sped in her direction and in seconds found her in Maria's arms.

Jake came out of the trees looking triumphant then automatically transformed. He growled at her. Maria was shocked but then she was back to her usual self.

"Who is this?" she hissed at me. "Because to me; this looks like and immortal child" she growled.

I ignored her. I was not about to explain to her of what had happened before she intruded on our lives.

Instead, Seth ran into to her. She was stunned, dropping Renesmee while Jake ran to get her.

Jake handed her over to me.

"We will be leaving now" I growled as the wolves nodded, agreeing with me.

She laughed. "Oh, I don't think so. You are surrounded" she said with a smile on her face.

We all inhaled and there it was. That scent, they were here; waiting for her cue to come in.

I didn't have much time so I took out Jasper's phone and sent a text to everyone back at home. There was no use calling because she would notice and crush the phone.

I slipped the phone back in my pocket. They should be here soon, hopefully.

"What is her name" she asked.

I glared at her. She took a step towards us.

"Just curious" she smiled.

"Well don't be" I hissed at her.

She looked behind her and in seconds seven vampires stepped out of the trees.

We were outnumbered…by a lot, and I had no chance of fighting with Nessie in my arms.

"Where is Jasper?" she said curiously. "I thought he never left your side" she laughed aloud.

"I went hunting without him today" I growled at her.

"Well, big mistake" she hissed stepping forward. "Since you took him away from me; I will gladly take you away from him" she took another step forward.

I didn't have my visions to get me out of this one and Nessie wasn't helping either.

"You know that will never happen. Jasper will find you and kill you" I hissed. "And he will never come back to you. You ruined his life. You took everything he had to live for away from him. You don't deserve him" I snarled at her, furious now.

She was furious. Before I cloud do anything she knocked Renesmee out of my arms and thrust me up against a tree.

"Listen you perky little bitch" she snarled. "I got Jasper first, and don't think that I won't get him again. I always get what I want" she shoved me into the tree still gripping my neck.

I grabbed her arm and threw her across the clearing. I stood up quickly and ran over to her. Before she had time to get up I grabbed her by the neck. I had forgotten about the others behind her. Two of them wrestled me off of her and held both of my arms.

I tried squirming away but whenever I moved their grip would tighten until it hurt.

I saw Jake run off with Nessie while he had the chance. Then I heard rustling getting closer and closer.

I sighed in relief. Jasper, Emment, Edward, and everyone else were in the clearing.

They launched themselves into the battle. Ten more vampires came out of the trees, including Mitch. They all helped in the fight.

I was still trying to get away from the two vampires, but they had a vice grip on my arms. Then Mitch and Maria came over to where I was.

The two vampires loosened their grip long enough for me to get away and launch myself at Maria. The blonde haired vampire threw me off of her with a lot of force that had me skidding on the ground.

For a second, I looked around me. They had destroyed six vampires. I knew Maria was going to stop this soon because she was loosing her army.

I got up quickly and launched myself at her again. This time I knocked her down. I grabbed her arm and crushed her shoulder with ease. She cried out, which caught Mitch's attention and I was flung off of her into a nearby tree. She looked around her and nodded at the two vampires. They stepped towards me as she yelled "Stop" and the clearing went silent.

For some reason they still came to me. They grabbed me by the arms again and held me there.

She clapped. "Well done, but you forgot one thing" she said to my family. "Her" Edward hung his head and Esme looked like she was about to cry. Jasper was furious.

I tried to wriggle away but their grip tightened. Emmant, Edward, and Jasper stepped forward; ready to fight them off.

"Ah Ah Ah" she said. "One wrong move, and…" she didn't have to finish the sentence because everyone knew what she meant.

Edward! I said in my head, knowing he would hear me. Get the wolves away so I can see the outcome of this.

He nodded and turned around and whispered something to the wolves. Then they were off.

Maria's face was puzzled, but she didn't care too much.

I started to scan the future, my body going limp in the process.

She was going to ask him to join her. That was all I saw.

I came back and the vampires grip on me had loosened. I took this as a chance to get away. The blonde vampire blocked my way from getting to my family so I ran off. I didn't go too far before Mitch leaped on me. We struggled on the ground until he had a hold of me. He threw a fist at my face and I easily dodged it.

Then the blonde haired man came up behind me and threw me several feet. I got a good look at him. He was big and muscular like Emment although he looked younger and was clearly a newborn.

"Sorry, Maria's orders" he hissed and ripped off my arm. I screamed in pain. I was positive that everyone in the clearing could here me because there was an eerie silence that rested over the forest.

The man smiled at me for a second and that was my chance I leaped for his neck and wrapped myself around his body. I pulled upwards with my arm and his head fell off. His body fell to the floor. Mitch ran back to Maria not thinking that that would happen and I ran after him, except I took my place next to Jasper.

Maria was furious. We had taken out half of her army. She growled, turned around, and ran off.

We all looked at each other, puzzled.

Jasper looked at me with a very pained expression and I sighed.

Carlisle came over to me with my arm and re-assembled it back to my shoulder.

"Damn, that chick is really at to get you" Emment stated.

"No shit, Emment. I really haven't noticed that" I said sarcastically.

We ran home and found Leah, Jake, and Seth waiting for us with Renesmee.

"How did things go?" Jake asked.

No one answered.

"I think we will leave now" He said. The three of them got up and left quietly.

We all walked quietly to the conference room and sat down.

"We need to do something about this. It is getting to out of hand" he said staring at me sadly.

"What do we do then?" Bella asked.

We were all silent for a minute.

"We could always fight back" Emment said.

"Wait, we don't have to act right now" Edward said.

"Why is that" Carlisle asked.

"We took over half of her army. She had seventeen now she only has seven. If we know her she won't act for a while because she knows she will loose. They are outnumbered. Think about it" he said quietly.

"You're right" Carlisle said after thinking about it for a while. "We should wait maybe four days or five. Then we will re-assess this situation" he said.

Everyone nodded in agreement and the meeting was over.

Jasper and I headed up to our room with Esme and Carlisle following us.

"I still need to check on you" he reminded me.

Once he was finished he said "The damage isn't too bad" and smiled a little.

Once he stepped back Esme came up and gave me a hug. "Never worry us like that again" she scolded me, smiling a little.

"I promise" I said innocently.

They left the room and shut the door as they left. Then I turned around to face Jasper.

His eyes were jet black and he was clearly upset.

"I'm still alive" I said quietly.

He just stared. I sighed.

I crossed the space between us and wrapped my arms around him.

He was still as stone, but soon hugged me back.

"I should have come with you" he said.

"No, I told you I was going with them and I would be fine-"

"You obviously weren't" he said, angry again.

"Well if that mutt had kept his eye on Renesmee I wouldn't have been in that situation. He just let her wonder off by herself while we were hunting" I sighed in frustration.

He calmed me down and kissed the top of my head.

"I am glad that you are safe" he said, rubbing my back soothingly.

I was personally glad that he let it go, but I knew that he would bring it up soon enough.

I went to the couch and sat down with Jasper by my side.

"You know you are never leaving my sight again don't you" he said with his eyes twinkling.

"I couldn't expect less with a man like you" I said and kissed him on the lips.
