Chapter 10
I didn't know what to do, if they knew, I had to make sure they didn't tell anyone, but if they didn't know I had to get out of here quickly. I quickly looked over the past couple of days and decided that they knew something was up, but maybe they didn't know everything, I could ask them not to tell anyone tomorrow at school though. I got off of the bed and started out into the hall, but was stopped by the one named Edward.
"Where are you going?" He asked, though I had a strange feeling that he already knew. Creepy!
"Uh… nowhere in particular. Downstairs I guess." Luckily I could still lie to everyone except Bella. So I was pretty sure I was convincing. He eyed me, like he didn't quite believe me; it made me nervous, being under a stare that strong.
I tried to get passed him, but he moved too quickly, "You aren't going anywhere."
I scowled at him, "And why not?"
"Because, your hurt." He answered simply, and matter of factly.
"Well Mr. No-it-all if I don't get back home soon, I'm going to have a lot more to worry about." I stalked past him and down the stairs, I noticed that my ribs were aching, but I ignored it, the important thing was to get any now!
Just as I thought I might be able to get away, I felt a pair of cold hands grab one of my wrists. "What are you doing?" Of course it was Jasper, who else would it be?
"Going home," it was no use lying to him, why else would I almost be at the end of their extremely long driveway?
"No your not, you are staying here. I'm not going to let you go back to that place you call home, not with him there." I shuddered at the malice in his voice. But what about Cynthia?
"I can't leave Cynthia there alone! I have no idea what he'll do to her. She may be his princ-" he cut me off by placing a cool finger over my lips.
"She'll be fine, trust me." How could I not trust him? He was just so… perfect. Why would he ever lie? Even to someone like me. Before I could protest further I found myself being led into their huge house and back up the stairs. Once we reached Jasper's bedroom again he turned around to acknowledge me, "Now if you don't mind, I think that Carlisle might be able to help you with your injuries."
I simply nodded and sat down on the bed to wait. Carlisle was there almost immediately. "So, you have some pretty serious injuries from what I hear." He said in a calm voice, while he started to work.
"They aren't too bad." I lied. I started to panic; I realized that if he knew about my injuries, he probably could tell what happened to me, seeing as he was a doctor. "Please don't tell anyone!" I blurted out before I could help it.
He looked up at me with a knowing look in his eyes. "Alice, I can't if you don't want me too, but I must urge you to do something about this. This, this is abuse, and you shouldn't have to live through it."
I just shook my head, "No, I deserve it, I deserve every last minute, it's my fault he hates me, it's my fault I'm a devil child." I swore at myself in my head. Did I honestly just say that? He looked at me in a funny way he knew something wasn't right. Damn those stupid doctor instincts.
"What do you mean by 'devil child' I assure you that you are extremely well behaved."
"No, it's…" I paused, he had said that I could tell him anything, and I knew that I wouldn't be able to keep this from the Cullen's if I was going to stay the night with them, so I took a deep breath and told him the truth, "I am the spawn of the devil, because I can see the future."
He was the only person other than Bella to take the news so well. He merely smiled at me and told me that I was lucky. I was dumbfounded, he believed me. I was so amazed and shocked that I didn't notice when he finished with bandaging and cleaning my wounds, I didn't notice when he left, I barely even noticed when Jasper entered the room.
"How are you feeling?" He asked. It sounded like he was genuinely concerned.
"I'm feeling a lot better thanks!" I smiled up at him, I knew that there would always be a special place in my heart for him, even though nothing would ever happen between us, I would always remember him and his perfection.
A/N: So that is that chapter :D I'm actually kind of happy with this, though it was kind of a filler chapter. I need you opinion, should Alice sneak out and go back home, or should she stay? And if she stays, should she find out? Let me know what you think :)
