(Still Alice :)
The phone was ringing. I knew he would forgive me anything, as I him. But still even with seeing him at my side in the future and knowing he was OK with my decision, I still dreaded telling him what I did. After all we were mates, we swore in our marriage vows to be a team, to respect each other, and to include each other in all of out decisions. But here I went and made a choice for the both of us, without even asking him first.
One of the times where my visions were a handicap. Seeing how he would react and making a decision is not the same as actually asking him first. So when he picked up I stuttered "uhhh uhhhh, Jas?" "Alice? What is going on?!? Edward called Carlisle and all I get from Carlisle and Esme is overpowering grief! Are you ok?!?" I loved him so much, "Yes, but I may not be for long when you find out what I did......" Jasper asked "Start from the beginning."
I proceeded to tell Jasper what had happened, from my last conversation on the plane with him, till now. He was quiet for a long time, and then he spoke "Well, I was on your side when you saw Bella as one of us, so her decision is not really so surprising. As for you signing up, well signing us both up for the guard? Ok, you need to be there to support your friend, and baby, you know I will follow you anywhere, so give me a couple of days to get our stuff into storage, and I will be there. What about the diet? Are they going to let us continue eating animals? After what you told me about the group feeding I am going to need some distance when that takes place, I do not think I could handle a massive feeding like that. That would be unbearable for me." I paused. I did not even think to ask "Well, I suppose, I leaped before I looked...." I said sheepishly. "Well, I am sure we can work something out... I will see you in a couple of days, I am relieved that you are ok, when Edward called and you didn't I was soooo worried!" Jasper said. "Well, see you in a couple of days, I love you Jas!" Love you too angel!" and he was gone.
Well, I had to make this right for him too. I made for the door after looking at the map Gianna left for me along with the color samples. I made for the "executive offices" Since Aro seemed to be the real decision maker I decided to try for him first. But as I walked past Marcus door the door was wide open, and I looked in and Marcus looked up from a drafting table and called to me "Alice, please come here, I have some questions for you." He was so calm, so devoid of emotion, I was sure I knew who Jasper was going to be most comfortable around. "Yes Marcus?" I said lightly walking into his office.
"I am just reviewing and approving the plans for the Volterra Zoo expansion, and I wanted your input. We own the zoo here, and are going to expand it, as we need to make the practical arrangements for having vampires with special dietary requirements here long term. And given your relationship we expect to have visitors more often than not from your family. And so you know hothead Caius has called Carlisle and lifted his ban on Edward." He then focused on the plans rolled out in between us. "Here is the access point to the safari area. We are going to go through several breeders and agencies to adopt and aquire animals. What exactly are your requirements?" I looked down at the plans, and the area they set aside was huge. This zoo would be world class! There was about 1000 acres set aside outside of town for both an African safari Savannah, and a rainforest woodland area so there would be a selection for us, just like at home. Actually better than home, here we would not have to worry about balance. I explained how much we all ate, and preferences, he almost smiled when I told him about Emmett, and his preference, and feeding habits.
He thanked me and I stopped "Well, actually I owe you. Thank you for turning Bella, I always saw her becoming one of us, and know how hard it is to stop once we taste blood." He looked wistful, I guess almost a smile for him and said "I have been doing this for a very long time, it has been a long time since anything has driven me past the point of control, but I also cheat a bit now. I use hypodermic needles to inject the venom while I hold my breath, so it is quite simple for me now, and I have found it makes the change happen quicker." "Can I see her?" I asked "Of course, to the left down the hall the 7th door on the right." I said thanks as I flew out the door and down the hall. I slowed as I saw Alec standing outside the door talking to Demetri. "Hi, guys! Marcus said I could see Bella" "Be my guest." Demetri said stepping aside. I walked in and saw Bella lying there. It was all wrong! I flew out the door to get Jane! I needed help!
