A/N: This chapter now brings Alice and Jasper completely back into Bella's life. It's gonna be a little shorter than the rest. I hope you like it!
Chapter 9- Plans
Jake
It was 3:30 in the morning, I got up because I couldn't sleep. I smelt them before I heard them, I made it to the door right as someone knocked loudly. I opened the door and was surprised by who I found on the other side, "What the fuck are you doing here?" I asked the short pixie. "I'm here to save my best friend." she answered, waltzing in without waiting for an invitation.
"What do you mean? She's not in danger, I can protect her." I said, even though that wasn't the whole truth. "Jacob, I can see the future and Victoria is planning on attacking her in two days, planning on killing her, and you. I'm staying to make sure Bella stays alive, and there's nothing you can do-" she cut off, her eyes glassing over and a blank look on her face. "What the fuck is wrong with her?" I asked the blond vampire. "She's having another vision," he answered, his gaze never faltering from her face.
She gasped as she returned to the present, "Oh, fuck no. Not that bitch." I looked at her puzzled, I glanced at the other leech, he looked just as puzzled as I did, "Alice, what did you see?" he asked her. "She is not coming here, fuck no, not happening, she's not getting you. I won't let her she just-UGH!" "Alice? What the fuck are you talking about?" he asked. "Jasper, it's Maria. Somehow she found you. She knows we're in L.A. and she's heading here. She thinks she can get you away from me, but oh, boy is she wrong. I'm gonna kill that fucking bitch!"
"How much does she know?" Jasper asked. "She knows all about us, you, me, Carlisle, Esme, all of us. Even about Victoria's plot for revenge against Bella and Edward. She's planning on teaming up with Victoria so she can kill me and get you back." "There's no way I'm going to let her kill you. I'm not going back to that life, I won't. I'd light myself on fire before I went back to that life. We will win this. Bella will be safe, you will be safe." He reassured her, taking her face in his hands.
"So how big is this threat?" I asked, needing to get some information on how to protect Bella. "Victoria, her minion Riley, and now," she looked at Jasper. "Maria," he finished for her. "Who is this Maria?" I asked. "She is someone from my past. Someone dangerous." "And you said all this is happening in two days?" "Yes, there's a storm coming in and she knows that that's the only way that she'll be able to reach Bella," Alice answered. "Well then, what's the game plan? I tried to convince her to go back to Forks, that way I'd have the pack there to help me. But she plain refused." Alice shook her head, looked at Jasper, "That is so typical of Bella. Jazz, this is your expertise. What do we do?"
"Well, for one thing, we follow Bella and Jacob everywhere. No matter where they go." Jasper said, looking straight at me. I couldn't help but agree with him, so I nodded. "Well Jazz you know I'm gonna keep Bella in my line of sight the whole time. I'm not letting her go again, I didn't want to do it in the first place, but I allowed Edward to convince me that our leaving would keep her safe. He was so wrong. I love her too much to let that red-headed bitch to kill her." I just stared open-mouthed at the black haired pixie.
I didn't realize how much Bella had changed them, too. They loved her as much as I did. If not more. "Well, as much as I hate to say this, the couch makes out into a bed and I would be more than happy if you stayed, because it means Bella will have more protection. I'm sorry we don't have a room for you." I couldn't believe I was offering these creatures my couch. "That's very kind of you Jacob, but we don't sleep." My jaw dropped, "Ever?" Alice laughed and it sounded like bells, "No, never. We don't have to." I heard movement from Bella's room. Everyone in the room froze when Bella opened her door, wiping the sleep from her eyes and her hair all over the place.
Bella
I heard voices in the living room, I rolled over and looked at my alarm clock, it was 5 am. I figured Jake must be having a hard time sleeping with the possible vampire threat we had encountered. I got out of my bed, walked to my door, rubbing my eyes, and opened it. The voices stopped as I stepped through the door.
"Bella? Are you okay?" It took me a moment to realize who was standing in my living room, it was Alice and Jasper. I ran into Alice's arms, "Alice, what are you doing here?" I asked, bewildered. "I saw Victoria earlier when I was on the phone with you. I'm sorry I lied but I didn't want to scare you. Then I saw her send that boy to scope out the situation and we got here as quick as we could." "Does, he know you're here?" "No, he hasn't really been around these past months. This is pretty hard on him Bella. The only ones that know we're here are Carlisle and Esme. Are you sure you're okay?"
"I'm fine, Alice. I promise." I said, stepping out of her arms. "I figured out why I can't see you anymore. I can't see past the werewolves. That's why you disappeared. We've talked about it and I agree with Jacob, you need to go back to Forks, Bella. You're more protected there. I can keep a closer eye on you." "How would you keep a closer eye on me, if you can't see past Jake?" I asked, suddenly curious. "We would be staying in Forks, of course." "I hate to burst your bubble, Alice, but I am not going back to Forks. You'll just have to stay here if you want to keep an eye on me." "But, Bella," she began. "Don't but Bella, me. Just take a glimpse at the future, you'll see I'm not going anywhere."
Alice sighed and stamped her foot, clearly growing impatient. "Fine, we'll stay here then. But damn it Bella, if you think you are going anywhere without me you're very wrong." "Come with me all you want, I don't care but I'm not going back to Forks, ever. I don't even care if you follow me into the bathroom. Just so long as you, Jasper, and Jake don't try to drag me back to Forks. I'd rather face Victoria everyday." I looked at my friends and they had all looked down at their feet.
"What are y'all not telling me?" I asked, getting worried. "Well, it's not just Victoria, the vampire that came into the bookstore was her minion, Riley. Then, not long before you came in here I had another vision, one about someone from Jasper's past, Maria, that has come back. She somehow found out about our life and Victoria and her vendetta against you. She's coming this way to meet up with Victoria and convince her that she can help. She wants me dead so she can get Jazz back. But we're not gonna let that happen." Alice explained quickly, her eyes darkening visibly when she talked about this Maria.
"When is Victoria planning an attack?" I asked, stupidly curious. "Two days," Alice said, gravely. I felt like the air had been sucked from the room, "T-t-t-two days?" I sat down quickly on the couch, no sooner had the fear set in that it was replaced by calm. I was thankful for Jasper's gift. "What are we going to do?" I asked. "Well, we're not really sure yet." Jake said, looking like he could phase any second. I was sure having Alice and Jasper in the same room was hard enough not to mention all this stuff with Victoria. "What do you mean you're not really sure yet? We're talking about Victoria, she's an escape artist, you all know that. We can't let her esc-" I was interrupted by a knock on the door, every one turned their heads toward the door. All of us wondering who this could be.
A/N: So, if you liked it, review. If you didn't, review. I need some constructive criticism.
