Disclaimer: I don't own twilight. It's true, I'm a writing machine. I think I'm trying to make up for those 2 weeks of vacation Funny stuff. Anyways, here we go, another chapter. Enjoy the effort.
When we reached the house, Alice grabbed mine and Christine's arms, and Rose grabbed Jocelyn and Jane's arms and began dragging us up the large stair case that dominated the west side of the room.
"Come on!' Alice said, yanking us up the stairs, Esme following behind us. I sighed and picked up the pace. I followed Alice into her room and over to what I could only assume was her closet. The fact that it had two doors worried me a little. When she threw open the doors, I just about died. Again. The closet was filled with clothes and was twice the size of her bedroom. In fact, I had a suspicious feeling that I was standing in what originally intended to be the closet. I shot Christine a desperate glance, which she totally missed. She was too busy ogling the clothes. Of course.
'Clooooooooooothes' The word entered my head, saturated with a want so intense, I almost began to want them too. The uniform we had to wear as part of the Volturi guard always drove her nuts. The chance to get into some fairly recent styles sent a need shock wave through her body so intense it made me want them too. Oi. Alice danced into the closet and began pulling mountains of clothes off the racks and stacking them into Christine's arms, who had followed Alice into the massive room.
"no, not that, this won't do," Alice muttered as she walked around the room. "Oh, god no, that just won't work." I sighed and walked in after them as they disappeared around a corner. I turned the same corner just as an item of clothing came flying at my face. I grabbed it before it hit me or fell, slinging it over my arm. Five minutes later, I had enough clothes to run a store in my arms and Alice was finally finished, closing the doors to her closet big enough to get lost in. I dumped the pile on to the end of her bed and Christine dropped her load at the top of the bed.
"Alright, ladies," Alice said. "I have complete faith in your ability to pick something out that works, so I'll leave you alone to decide." With that she smiled and pranced out of the room. Ugh. Christine was already sifting through her selection of clothes. I groaned internally as I turned to my mountain of clothes and began searching through it. In the end, I settled on a pair of jeans and baby doll top. Christine had decided to take the higher end route and decided on white tank top with lace along the bottom, a dark pink roll over boat neck sweater, and pair of dark wash flare jeans.
I walked into the bathroom to change while she stayed in the bed room to change. I locked the door behind me and began to peel off my wet clothes, draping them over the side of the tub. What was going on here? Were we not supposed to be investigating them? They could have murdered a bunch of people! They may be a threat to our entire existence! And yet, the more time I spent with them, the harder it would be to kill them. I sighed and pulled the jeans on and top on, then began towel drying my hair. When I walked out of the bathroom two minutes later, Christine was waiting by the door for me, tapping her foot impatiently. I frowned.
"Why didn't you just go down without me?" I asked. Christine looked at me like I'd lost my mind.
"Two words," she said darkly. "Sneak attack." I just looked at her, amused.
"Wouldn't you be able to tell if they were planning a sneak attack?" I asked. She was shaking her head before I was even finished.
"Not when their blocking their thoughts," she said, turning and walking out the door. I stared after her. No matter what had just passed between our two families, nothing had changed. We were still the good guys, and they were still the enemy. And that was never going to change.
A/N: Alright, since I wrote two chapters in one night, the dedication question from the last chapter also applies to this one. So, answer it, and the next chapter is dedicated to you. Hope you're enjoying this as much as I am! Till possible tomorrow!
