Chapter Four

Alice POV

The three of us-Rosalie, Emmett and I- managed to get Jasper out into the fresh air with minimal difficulty. It didn't take him very long to regain his better judgement; In a few moments he was in control of himself again.

My disappointment over the whole incident showed plainly, and I wasn't trying to hide it.

"Really, Jasper? I thought it would get easier for you...after all, its been a while."

Jasper looks up, his face carefully devoid of emotion.

"I'm sorry. Emmett, Rose, was it a lot of trouble."

"Oh, less than last time." Emmett grins and cracks his knuckles, earning him a few disapproving glances from Rosalie.

Unfortunately, Rosalie turns to me next.

"Alice. This time its you're to blame. Didn't you see anything about this?"

Crap. It seemed that Rosalie had already put two and two together. All too often I found myself wishing that "dumb blonde" applied to our kind.

I sigh, casting a regretful look at towards the general direction of the building. Rosalie taps a foot impatiently, expecting a response. When I don't offer one, she continues.

"This. Is. Not. Good. That girl, she saw the whole thing, didn't she? What do we do with her?"

"Rose. This is the twenty-first century. That sort of thing isn't as easy anymore." Japser's voice is gentle, but there's a slightly reprimanding edge in it that Rosalie will not appreciate. I break in, hoping to avert the impending arguement.

"Alright, okay. We'll discuss this with Carlisle and Esme tonight. Jasper, I don't think it would matter much if you spent the rest of the day at home."

"Tonight? You've got t be kidding. Half the school will hear of this by then."

Jasper nods at me, and I close my eyes, focusing my thoughts onto the future. What I see is not at all expected, and my eyes fly open in shock.

Edward and...who the heck is that?

"Alice?" Japser stares at me, concerned.

"I'm fine. Give me a minute."

Clearing the vision from my mind, I concentrate on the rest of the day. Then I open m eyes again with a grim satisfaction. I was not looking forward to the meeting tonight, which Rosalie was sure to make unpleasant.

"It'll be fine. The girl wont talk."

"I know, its hard, but it takes time, right? Don't be too hard on yourself."

"Just don't count the centuries for me." Jasper mutters, slightly bitter. I'm not sure what to say to that, so I get out my car keys and start for the parking lot.

"Nobody said that it would take centuries", I say, in what I hope is a lighter tone than his.

Back in my car, I take a moment to think over my previous visions. Were they even possible? For all the effort I had put into learning about the girl's future, there was nothing particularly happy about it.

Other than that one, small possibility that she could be Edward Cullen's soul mate.

Pushing that thought away, I start the car and head for the hospital, in the hopes of forewarning Carlisle.

:) This was a *fun* chapter for me to write; Hope you liked it too. Should I write more Alice POVs? To be honest, its more comfortable to write in her "mind" than to write from Edward's (awkward). Let me know :D
