Chapter 8
"Rosalie." Alice called out to her sister before she jumped her. Alice's petite form clung to Rosalie's body before Rosalie dropped her. Flicking her hair behind her head and unconsciously patting it into place Rosalie looked down at her sister.
"I don't understand." Alice looked at Rosalie as she grabbed her hand and lead her to the soft brown leather couch sitting in the center of the great room. Alice flicked her hand at her husband Jasper causing him to chuckle at her antics. He folded the paper he was reading and moved from the comforts of the couch to the nearest armchair. He proceeded to focus on the conversation that continued in front of him.
Jasper could feel the agitation rolling off of Alice in waves. He tried to send out feelings of being relaxed and content but with another flick of Alice's wrist she stopped him again.
"I know what happened in the park." Alice spoke into the quiet room. All the attention was focused on her. They, Rosalie and Jasper, sat in their respective chairs trying to see where Alice's statement would lead them and if after getting to the point if she would stop her constant tapping that she was unconsciously doing. For a human it would have been a steady rhythm but Alice wasn't human. So for a vampire that steady rhythm turned into the sound of a drill going into concrete, loud and irritating. Her whole body buzzed with her thoughts.
There was a very pregnant pause. The silence only lasted a few seconds but to Jasper and Rosalie it felt like an eternity.
"Alice, what…"
"I can't see. I can't see anything again. Why can't I see anything?" She grabbed her hair and jumped up.
Alice would get flashes of the future all the time. The flashes would be of things they were going to do, that they will do. With the new member of the family though, nothing. A big fat zilch. And this frustrated Alice to no end.
With the La Push wolves she always had a blank space over events that included them, but before and after could be seen. Not so much with the small Asian girl. With her, her past was blank, her present was a mystery and the future only seemed to reveal itself with constant contact with her body.
"What is her name?" Alice asked while looking at Rosalie. The first mystery will be solved with the answer Rosalie would provide. I can do this, Alice thought. I can get through one obstacle at a time and before you know it I will know all the things that I will need to get her into our family. I can't wait to meet her. Alice waited for Rosalie to answer. And waited. And waited.
"Rosa…"
"It's Kagome. Kagome Higurashi."
"Kagome. That's a pretty name. Not very common of a name in Japan. I take it she is from there?"
"Yeah, she is on a field trip over their summer break. She says she'll be here for a week. How the hell do we get her to join our family from across the world? There is no way to get her to join us in that little bit of time."
"Rose, I don't know. I don't know anything. Why do you think I'm so frustrated?" Alice started to pace the great room. Her agitation was beginning to show once more. Jasper reached out and pulled her into his lap after her hundredth lap.
"Calm down honey. You don't want all the mystery of the newest member to disappear do you? You thrive on a challenge, and that's what this is. A challenge." He pulled her closer resting his chin on her soft pixie locks. Sending out a feeling of contentment he finally felt his wife relax. Alice slowly turned to putty in his lap. A few moments passed before she looked up at her sister. She started to snicker and quickly covered her mouth.
"Rosalie. You might want to get Emmett some clothes. He's hanging outside of a window in the hotel. It looks like he is looking into her room."
Alice watched Rosalie curse as she ran upstairs to get some clothes for her husband. Alice looked at Jasper when she saw Rosalie run out the door with a bag full of clothes. "I hope she hurries… he's naked."
A.N. I'm sorry. I just changed the rating in the last chapter. I forgot how risque I might take this story and wanted to be sure that it was rated appropriately. And in doing so I forgot until this chapter that I had not informed you of this change. Please accept my apologies.
A.A.N. It was a bit hard to get this one out. Let me know what you think.
