Ok, so I haven't gotten any more reviews yet =( and I'm not feeling very happy. This got finished a while ago but I was on holiday so I couldn't put it up...
Anywho, I'm also not very happy after finding out about a bit of plaguerism, and I left a comment on the story that was the result of this which was harsh but true. So I'm not really feeling to good at the moment...
But just because I'm not, doesn't mean you can't! Please enjoy and review my story, all reviews welcome!

4-Decision

"Alexandra Cullen!"

I paused at the foot of the stairs. I'd only just gotten back from my trip away from Emmett, and hunting, and she was already onto me. I was finding the diet...hard. Of course, decisions had to go past Alice first, and I knew she was going to stop this one.

Alice flitted to my side, closely followed by Jasper, who – for once – wasn't waiting for me. I sighed. Here we go again, I thought.

"Yes Alice?" I asked, keeping my tone polite. No need to lose it over nothing.

"You are not going to do that!" she cried. Jasper stood behind her, not commenting, just keeping tabs on the mood. If I lost it, he would not hesitate to take me down.

I was defiant. She had seen my choice. Now all I had to do was convince her not to tell Carlisle.

"Yes I am, and there's nothing you can do to stop me," I told her. She frowned at me, not happy at how difficult I was being. Had she expected me to give in?

"If you leave, I will go after you and drag you straight back here!" She was adamant about that.

"Jasper won't let you," I said smugly. I knew that I had the upper hand there. He was so not going to let her go down south!

"I'll go anyway." Geez, she was stubborn. Small, but stubborn.

"As if," I taunted her, trying to keep my victorious mood from turning into anger. I was having fun now. Jasper frowned, confused and wary, in case my mood switched, as it often does. In his eyes, I was as dangerous as any of the newborns he had been brought up with.

"What do you mean, I won't let her go after you?" Jasper asked, watching me carefully. "Where are you going?"

"Jazz, don't worry about it," Alice pacified him. Amazingly, he bought it, shrugging it off and going back to monitoring my 'unstable condition', as he liked to call it.

"Ha!" I crowed. "See, told you he won't let you! You know he won't!"

"He'll let me," Alice argued.

"Where are you going?" Jasper asked again.

Alice gave in. She knew arguing with me was pointless if you didn't have reasonable evidence. "She's going down south," she said, turning to Jasper. "She thinks I'll just let her get away with leaving and going back to that."

"Oh," he said, surprised. Apparently, he had not thought that I would go back to the wars. "Well, she's right. I'm not going to let you get involved in that."

"Aw, come on Jasper! Do you want her to leave?"

"No," he answered in a soft voice. A strange calm fell over the room – courtesy of Jasper – fell over the room, until I glared at him and he stopped it. "I can't understand why she wants to get involved in those wars. But you're not going down there, and I'm not going back." I could see that he wasn't going to be swayed. Unfortunately, Alice wasn't giving up.

"I am if she is, and there's nothing you can do to stop me! Jazz, do you want me to be angry with you?" Alice was almost as close to losing it as I was.

"No," Jasper answered, choosing his words carefully. "I just don't want you down there in those wars. It's too dangerous."

"No one can touch me!" Alice cried. She was mad now, or very close to it. How could you ever tell with Alice? I struggled to stop myself from losing it too. "Haven't you watched me fight? You know they can't touch me!"

"I don't care. You are staying here with me. Alex is free to do what she likes."

I felt like it was time for me to back him up. "I am Alice. You don't rule me. If I want to leave, then I will."

"Fine," she said, and for a moment I thought she had given in. "But if you plan to leave again, I'll tell Carlisle about that."

I was shocked. "You wouldn't!" I cried. Speaking was a mistake. As soon as I said it, I lost control, and the craziness came, blanking out all reason and sense in my head. I didn't even know what I was angry about, only that it was something to do with Alice. Sensing this, Jasper jumped in front of her. I snarled at him, and he did the same thing he would do to any newborn. He stepped forward and grabbed my arms, threatening to help me lose a few limbs. I hesitated for a moment, and that was all it took for him to have my arms behind my back, and to smack me across the head, trying to beat a little sense back into me. He was acting rather quickly and efficiently, considering that I must have caught him by surprise, exploding like that. I had warned them my temper was unusually short, though they obviously hadn't listened. But I had seen his initial shock when I had first lost it.

I had to make sure she didn't tell arlisle about my previous plan, which I had decided on after my quick hunt. I'd been hoping she would be concentrating on something else with her visions, not to notice my decision. What in the world did I have to do to get a little good luck?

"I would tell him," Alice said softly, even ominously. I lunged towards her, all literal thinking and common sense gone, and Jasper tightened his grip on me. For a second, I fought him, but I gave up quickly when he proved much stronger than me.

"You belong here, Alex," she continued. "Here. Not out there. That's why Edward brought you to us. That's why you weren't left in the woods to die."

I grimaced. She was so wrong! "No Alice," I whimpered, trying to regain control so that Jasper would let go. "I don't belong here. I've never been happy here, or anywhere else, and I never will."

"Alex," Jasper said from behind me. I twisted around to face him, way to close for my liking. This was how the fights started, when someone got in your face. "Why do you want to get involved in those wars? There is a much better life here." I turned back around and shuffled my arms, trying to get into a more comfortable position. Alie nodded to him, and he let me go.

Instead of answering his question, which I had no answer for, in any case, I took off as soon as I was free, far away from the house and deep into the woods, where not even Carlisle or Esme would follow.
