Chapter 9

Alice's POV

At exactly nine pm, I was back at the Volturi Palace. What would I do for the remainder of the night? Tomorrow I would go shopping again. I planned to stay here for a week and only a day has passed and I've bought everything I needed. Tomorrow I'd shop for Bella and the next day I could shop for Rose. That makes four more days pass since there's still Carlisle and Esme. So I have to think of something to do for two more days. I can hang in my room and think, I guess. There was suddenly a knock on my door.

"Come in." I said and the door opened to reveal Heidi.

"Master Aro has ordered me to inform you that at the end of your stay would be a party for Travis." She said his name dreamily. "He wants to ask if you'd like to join for the party. It would only be the guard and some other covens. Will you be coming?" she asked, rather rudely. That gives me one more day to worry about then. I nodded. "Do me a favor and stay away from Travis. He's mine." She growled menacingly and left. I rolled my eyes. It's like everyone is expecting me to screw with Travis. And if Travis is Heidi's, why did he seduce me? I sighed. I wasn't like all girls that would fall for Travis' charm and I'd personally make sure that I wouldn't.

Day before the party

For the past few days, Travis thankfully hasn't tried anything and I didn't see him anymore in my shopping trips. Girls glared at me. Was something wrong with me? I had no plan stealing their beloved Travis from them. How can they possibly share him? I was in the throne room, sitting in one corner while reading a magazine. I suddenly heard an ear piercing scream and everyone just snickered as I covered my ears. It went on for a good five minutes. I removed my hands from my ears and everyone was grinning and I all heard them mutter Travis' name. He is a player. Maybe they're done and I can now walk back to my room. I stood up and walked to my room. I bumped someone again and from the scent, I could tell it was Travis. I looked at him. He was only wearing an undershirt and dark jeans. I silently admired his body which was accentuated by the undershirt. He smiled his real smile and I immediately smiled back.

"Hey, Alice. I was wondering, do you want to go somewhere with me?" he asked, nervously and I rose an eyebrow at him. Danger Alert!

"Uh….. I'm-"I trailed off.

"I promise that I won't try anything. I just want to be friends." He said with a genuine smile. I nodded. "Great. I'm going to get dressed." He said as he entered the room and Jane went out and glared at me. I hurriedly went to my room. There was something in me that I had to dress well for Travis but I had no idea what to wear since he didn't tell me where we were going. I decided to wear a black and red plaid mini skirt, a white button-up blouse, I wore a black and red necktie for women and three inch stilettos. It's like I'm a naughty school girl. I grabbed my black purse and someone knocked at the door. I assume that it' Travis. I opened the door and my breath hitched. He was wearing a black button up shirt; the top two buttons were open which revealed his sculpted chest. He wore dark jeans and black chucks. His eyes widened as he took in my appearance and then I heard him mutter.

"Perfect."

Travis' POV

She looked so freaking sexy! I couldn't help mutter how perfect she was. The blouse hugged her curves perfectly. The short mini skirt revealed her slender legs. If only I met her sooner, maybe I won't be a complete jerk.

"Well, we match, naughty school girl meets dangerous player." I said with a chuckle and she giggled.

"Where are we going anyway?" she asked and cocked her head to the side to make a kid like effect which made her look so CUTE!

"Uh… I.. Uh… Wanted to go for a walk and I was wondering if you'd show me how you hunted. There's a park in the castle. Maybe you want to go there?" I stuttered. When did I stutter?! She smiled.

"Sure. I 'd like that." She replied and linked her arms with mine. She felt so warm to me. We walked in silence to the park. When we got there, we sat on a bench.

"How was life before you went here?" I asked, curiously and she tensed. She looked hesitant so I shrugged and smiled. "You don't have to answer. My grandfathers have told me about your divorce. I'm sorry about that." She nodded.

"It was hard when you thought he was forever. Then, he left with my sister's husband." She murmured. WHAT THE HELL? WITH HER SISTER'S HUSBAND?! THAT IS SICK! She must have noticed my expression since she put a reassuring hand on my shoulder and I smiled.

"What was his name?" I asked.

"Ja- Jasper." She stuttered and winced. "My brother's name was Edward."

"I see. How was your family like?" I just wanted to know everything about her.

"I don't remember anything about my human life so as far as I'm concerned, my father is Carlisle, and he's a doctor. My mother is Esme; she's kinda like an interior designer. Then, I have my sister Rosalie who is very beautiful. I have a best friend and sister as well who is Bella. She is also a mental shield. When Bella was still human, she conceived a child and the father is Edward. Their daughter is very beautiful and her name is Renesmee but we call her Nessie or Ness. Ness can make people see things with just one touch. A shape shifter imprinted on Ness and his name is Jake. They have two kids, Anthony and Izzy. Then for the boys, I had a bear-like brother with a heart of a teddy bear whose name is Emmett. He used to be Rosalie' mate but they separated. Edward used to be Bella' mate. Edward can read minds. Bella was Edward's singer. They fell in love but broke apart. Last, Jasper" she winced but continued "He was my husband. He was wonderful and he cared for me a lot. He is an empath. How about you?" she smiled.

"Right now, the Volturi is my family but my real family when I was human was great. My dad was a businessman. You know the chocolate Ferrero Rocher?" she nodded. "He created those and sold them which made him a hit. He was a wonderful father. He gave me what I wanted and needed. My mother is English. She's a great lawyer and it helps at home especially when she's trying to reason with me. I'm an only child that's why they pampered me. They took care of me and I was also very smart that's why I'm a doctor at such a young age." I concluded.

"Did you leave anyone behind?" she asked and I winced. I wasn't ready to talk about her.

"Yes. My family and friends." She nodded. "What's your gift?"

"I can see visions but it's not always precise. It changes when the person changes his or her decision. How about you?"

"I have two main powers. One is like Ness' power but clearer. It would appear as if you were there instead of just watching. My second power is that I can learn powers I want. That was brought by my intelligence when I was human." She smiled.

"Amazing."

We talked about random stuff and I really did like her. She was so easy to be with. She cried when we talked more about Jasper. He is such an idiot! I just held her. She seemed so fragile. At six pm, she thought it was nice if she'd show me how she hunted and I eagerly complied. She took me to the forest. She also instructed that I just give in to my senses. She went away for a while and I concentrated and I smelled a deer which I immediately lunged at and drank. It tasted horrible! I couldn't drink another one so I just watched Alice. Everything she did was so precise that she didn't even get dirt on her. She was simply alluring. After she fed, she met up with me.

"It wasn't really good." I commented and she laughed but nodded. Her laughter was just like music. "How about we walk to the castle?" I asked.

"Sure." She shrugged.

"Are you coming to the party tomorrow?" I asked casually.

"Yes. I'll be leaving after the party." She replied and my face fell. I don't want her to leave.

"I see……. Do you want to be my date?" I asked and she stopped walking and she was taken aback.

"Along with whom?" she asked. I was seriously offended. Just because I'm a player doesn't mean I'll be taking many women as my date. A growl slipped and she looked surprised.

"Only you." I hissed.

"Why are you so mad?" she asked.

"Because I was planning to take only you." I snarled.

"You're a player, Travis. I could see that. Sorry but I have to decline."

WHAT?! I narrowed my eyes at her and she shrugged innocently. Normally, I'd think that was cute but not in this situation.

"Fine… Go on ahead. I need some time to think." I said and she nodded.

She left me alone. I felt so heartbroken. I don't believe I'm feeling this. I can have any girl but I desperately wanted Alice. She just reminded me so much of her. Why is it that the one I like the most won't just accept? I growled to myself. Alice was something else. Was she still caught up with Jasper? Of course. Why won't she just move on? I growled again.

"Growling won't do you any good." I heard a voice and I turned around to see Felix.

"Have you been following us?" I asked.

"Maybe." He replied innocently.

"How long have you been following?"

"For a long time. Seriously, you are whipped." He smirked.

"I am not! I'm just frustrated."

"You like her!"

"I like girls in general."

"So are you saying she's a conquest?"

"No! I mean yes! I don't know!" he smirked again and laughed.

"Okaayyyyy… Let's go back. I think that you don't want a party anymore."

"You think correctly." I replied as we ran off.

- - - - -

We were back at the castle. I do not want a party anymore. I will not have a party unless Alice was my date which she already declined. I called my grandfathers to the study and they all seemed genuinely curious since I was never the one to call for them.

"I don't want a party anymore." I said, stubbornly.

"Why?" Caius asked.

"I just don't want one anymore." I replied with a grimace.

"Is it because Alice didn't agree to come with you?" Aro asked.

"How do you know about that?" I asked and Aro pointed his hand and then his head. Damn!

"It's alright. We can tell the guests that it is cancelled then but one point would it be to try pursue Alice if her heart is shut tight and that she's leaving tomorrow?" Marcus pointed out.

"I'm coming with her." Was all I could say and they were shocked.

There was silence in the room for minutes. Everyone was rather shocked but I knew that they couldn't deny my wishes. Caius sighed. It was a sigh of defeat. Yes!

"Alright but promise to visit every once in a while." Caius said with a smiled and I nodded eagerly.

"I promise, grandpa. You know that I love you guys." I replied with a smile.

"We love you too." He replied and I gave them all a hug and a kiss on Caius' cheek.

"I'll tell Alice to pack then."

Alice's POV

I can't believe he asked me to be his date. I said no of course. He's a player for shopping's sake! He'd just leave me to flirt with other people there. He seemed seriously offended from the looks of it but I don't want to prove that they were all right. I will not be a victim of Travis' charm and good looks. I was in my room, packing since tomorrow, I would leave after the party. I suddenly had a vision.

.Vision.

"I don't want a party." Travis said stubbornly."

.End.

That was short. There's no party after all. Then, I can leave immediately. I sighed. I needed to see Rose and Bella soon. There was suddenly a knock on the door.

"You can come in." I shouted and Travis entered with a smug smile. What now?!

"I wanted to apologize first for growling at you." He said sincerely.

"Accepted."

Thank you. I see that you're packing. The plane will be leaving at four am; I hope you're ready by then."

I raised an eyebrow at him. My flight was at seven am, what this all about?

"Huh?" was all I could say.

"I'm coming with you." He said as he left the room.

He's coming with me to Forks?! He's coming with me to Forks? He's coming with me to Forks! No way! I can't believe he persuaded the three kings! He is just so persistent. I sighed angrily. I regained my composure and sighed again. Nothing bad will happen. What's the worst thing that could happen?

A/N: The next chapter is Rose/Bella. Tell me what you think and if you guys give me at least five reviews, I'll update.:)
