Disclaimer: Nothing is mine (except Riley)

The next day was my day off. I was taking full advantage of it. Hunting in the morning and going to visit my family in the afternoon. I was determined to talk to Carlisle about Charlie. I was also a little scared. Carlisle wasn't the easiest person to convince. I had always had trouble in that particular area.

I drove my car up the familiar driveway and turned off the ignition. I sat in the car for a couple of seconds, wondering what I could possibly say to make Carlisle understand what I was about to ask him.

Next thing I knew I had two vampires standing outside my door, smiling like fools. Emmett and Jasper. The only two people in my family that loved to torment me. Jasper opened the door and I smiled at them.

"Hi guys. Is Carlisle home?" I asked innocently.

Emmett shook his head.

"Not yet. Why? Is he the only reason you came?"

"Hell yeah. No one else is worth seeing." I said getting out of the car.

Emmett slapped my shoulder and laughed.

"You're a real bitch, you know that right?" he asked.

"Yeah. It's been my life goal."

I looked at Jasper and saw a look of pure worry on his face. I knew he wasn't picking up my feelings because I wasn't worried anymore, I was anxious. So, that left Emmett and his own emotions. And it definitely wasn't Emmett.

"You o.k. Jasper?" I asked.

"Alice wants to kill you." he said.

"Huh. Why?"

"I don't know. She was just so mad this morning. She kept yelling about something you did and something you said. I don't know but she is really pissed off."

I quickly made my way to the house and went in search of Alice. I found her sitting with Rosalie in the family room. When she saw me her eyes darkened with anger and she looked like she was ready to snap my neck, like that would do anything. She stood up and walked over to me. She stood at 4'11'' and I only stood at 5'3'', we were almost face to face.

"Riley, I need to talk to you." she looked at Emmett. "Alone."

"Fine." I said.

She lead me upstairs and into her bedroom. She locked the door and turned to look at me.

"You can't get Charlie changed into a vampire. It's not right!" she said.

"That's why you're mad? I'm not the one deciding for him. He asked me and I said I'd talk to Carlisle. He probably won't get changed anyway. You know how stubborn Carlise is."

"I know but he's already promised to change Bella. He'll probably do the same for Charlie so that Charlie doesn't have to loose his daughter." Alice said.

"Then what is the point of this. One way or another, he's going to end up like us..." she cut me off.

"Like me. You're nothing but a mutt."

That hit me hard. Alice had always been one of my favorite siblings. Second only to Emmett. But, come on, who doesn't love Emmett. I had always suspected that she loved me just as much as I loved her.

"How can you say that?" I asked.

"Because it's true. Your mom is a slut and your dad was a pig. No one else would have slept with that whore."

I hit on of the four posters on her bed and it fell quietly onto the mattress. I stared at her.

"Don't talk like that about Victoria!" I snapped.

"Oh, now you're protective? I thought you hated her. No wonder she didn't want you. Just look at how you turned out!"

"Shut up Alice!"

"Why don't you make me? You don't like conflict because it turns you into a monster. Well, you might as well transform into one. It would express you personality so well."

I looked at the ground and tried to even out my breathing. I also tried to make the ripples going up and down my spine subside. It was working. Alice walked closer to me and looked me in the eyes.

"You don't deserve a happy ending. After all the things that you've done, more like all the people you've done. You don't deserve it Riley!"

"I deserve it. I deserve it. Alice, why are you doing this?!" I asked.

Tears started filling my eyes. I felt them slide down my face. Then, Alice smiled. I looked at her with pure astonishment.

"How can you smile?"

"Wake up Riley." Alice rolled her eyes.

"What?" I asked.

"Wake up honey. Stop crying. It's alright. Just wake up!"

I opened my eyes and realized, to my horror, that I had dreamed the entire thing. Well, at least that explained the whole Alice being a bitch thing. And me protecting Victoria. That would never happen in real life. But wait, what was the point of the dream? I didn't know. Maybe it was the tiredness that was clouding my mind, maybe I didn't want to know. Either way, I settled on wiping my face and looking at Charlie.

Wait. Charlie! My subconsciouse was telling me that it was wrong to change Charlie into a vampire. God dammit! I hate dreaming.

"Are you o.k. Riley?" Charlie asked.

"Yeah. Now that I'm awake." I snuggled closer to him and let him wrap his arms around me.
