Part 3A Carlisle's
POV
My mind went blank, I couldn't believe it. I had to
know something though.
"Alice, does Edward know about this?"
I heard Alice's deep breaths, "I had the vision at home, and he's on the rampage. Jazz and Em have to keep a grip on him twenty-four seven, or he's going to run off. He's planning on going to the Volturi, asking to die!" Alice had to take another deep breath before she could continue. "I told him that I would ask you to check on her, since you were nearer to her than us, but he isn't happy about it."
I couldn't think. I stood there, phone in hand, staring out the window, out towards the dark street.
After about twenty seconds Alice said a hasty goodbye; apparently Edward was Giving Emmett and Jasper a lot of trouble.
I heard, impossible as it may seem, the roar of Bella's decrepit truck.
My eyes widened, I heard the engine cut. Nothing happened for a few minutes. Then I heard the door of the truck open.
Almost as soon as it was opened, it was slammed shut.
"OH!" I heard a male voice yell. This was disconcerting. "Holy crap!"
I heard a second voice. This one was female, the voice of…
"What's wrong?"
"Vampire," said the male voice.
"How do you know?" said the voice of the one I was here for.
"Because I can smell it! Dang it!" This was strange, humans couldn't smell us; especially not from that distance. Was this boy human?
He started the engine again, and, muttering to himself, drove the car back out of the driveway.
I was about to follow after them when I heard Bella call out.
"Stop!" she said, then, a little more desperately, said again, "stop!"
"What?!"
"It's not Victoria. Stop, stop! I want to go back."
As she said this, the boy stood on the brake making everything in the truck jolt forward a foot, including Bella.
I heard his argument with her; and then he broke down and left her in the truck.
It was silent for a full minute before I heard Bella slide over to the driver's seat, and drive back down the street, back to the house.
