EPOV
Emmett grabbed my shoulders as I drove my fist into the door of his prized jeep. the black metal crumpling under the pressure,
"CALM DOWN!", he yelled, forcing me away from the car. I took a long jagged breath closed my eyes tight. I fought to keep my voice even as I addressed my brother, my fingers pinching the bridge of my nose,
"Did you not hear what she said?!"
I saw confusion mar his expression,
"Hey…" he started innocently,
"…. I thought you were having a lovers quarrel and I don't eavesdrop" he said proudly, murmuring under his breath, "…. I leave that to Rose"
I sighed, exasperated as my impatient eyes searched for Jasper. He was standing a way in front of us staring after her truck, which had long since passed over the horizon. I ducked round Emmett and walked slowly towards my brother. He was lost in thought and I stood next to him in silence, it was a moment before either of us spoke,
"…. Jasper?"
He sighed sadly softly shaking his head,
"Carlisle won't be happy"
Carlisle, at his name my hollow stomach clenched. I'd ruined it, this new life he had found us. His eyes, clouded with disappointed, flashed in my mind. At that moment some unseen force turned my thoughts to Isabella Swan: I knew what I needed to do, the impulse coursed through my brain, an unstoppable force screaming at me to run after her not caring who saw me, I needed to explain, she wasn't safe and I couldn't let them touch her again.
It was at this second, phantom adrenaline filling my body, that Jasper turned to me his eyes heavy,
"Don't do anything rash Edward, we'll go to Alice. The danger might have passed."
I raised my eyebrows, skeptical, but I had to concede that he was probably right. In any case I wouldn't risk frightening her anymore than I had already. The fear in her eyes made me shudder, she must have thought me a monster.
I hung my head as I turned to walk back to the Jeep, Jaspers soft foot fall echoing behind me.
As we slammed the doors rocking the chassis, Emmett shifted his body in the drivers seat, turning to glare at us, his eyes narrowed,
"… when are you girls gonna tell me what all that was about?"
My eyes shot to Jaspers, he nodded; understanding, smiling at him gratefully I looked away. I rested my head against the smooth glass, staring up at the grey sky just visible through the encroaching canopy that saturated the road with a green hue.
Jasper inclined his head slightly towards Emmett and suddenly a wave of incredible calm spread through the air, I smiled to myself.
"What was that for?", Emmett asked, amused.
"The girl knows what we are", Jasper replied quietly,
"WHAT?!?"
… and just like that the relaxed atmosphere shattered, before he could say anything else Jasper countered quickly,
"We'll go to Alice. Then we'll know how best to deal with the…situation."
I frowned at his last remark.
"There is no 'situation'. She won't tell anyone."
"How can you know that…" Emmett interjected, his eyes tight,
"…you've known her for a day!"
I sighed, I couldn't explain to Emmett but Jasper understood. He knew he and Alice were meant for each other even before he saw her, they held an inexplicable connection; like one soul had inhabited two bodies. They needed each other to stay alive. Just like them I felt drawn to Isabella Swan and I couldn't explain it, I didn't deserve it.
"Just drive Emmett"
With a grunt from my brother the jeep screeched into life and sped along the empty road, winding along at 150mph. I couldn't help feeling that it wasn't fast enough; my mind was wracked with impatience and anxiety, knowing how much this human affected me made me uncomfortable.
After an eternity we reached our new home, or at least the house Esme hoped would become our home. The pale stone of the looming walls looked iridescent in the cold light, four rows of windows lined the house in perfect symmetry. As I jumped out of the passenger seat I saw a face appear at one of the third story windows, it was framed with short black hair and a devilish grin, I couldn't help but smile at my sister. As I walked across the sweeping driveway she disappeared, suddenly the front doors swung open and in a blur of black and white Alice was at Jaspers side whispering in his ear, her lips gently caressing his skin. He smiled at her unheard words and I had to look away. Emmett groaned at his sisters display and ruffling her artfully spiked hair asked soberly,
"Where's Rose?"
Alice beamed up at him tearing her eyes away from Jasper,
"She's in the kitchen with Esme, they're decorating"
Emmett stared at her, incredulous,
"…the kitchen!! Why are they…." He trailed off wide-eyed "…girls", he sighed and shaking his head in disbelief, jumped up the stone steps into the house.
I looked at Alice, bothered by her smile,
"Didn't you see the hunters coming today?"
She pouted at me, frowning over her large black eyes,
"Of course I did! How do you think Jasper and Emmett got there so fast" she glared at me triumphant adding proudly,
"They were already on their way" she smiled, and I couldn't help grinning back at her, of course they were. My brow creased then in realization,
"Then you saw…"
"Yes!" she interrupted brightly, seeing the expression on my face she sighed,
"Edward it was supposed to happen. She had to know otherwise you two would never…"
She stopped herself abruptly, biting her lip,
"Never…. what? Alice?", I asked apprehensively. She smiled mischievously her dark eyes sparkling,
"You'll find out soon enough!", she teased, I focused on her thoughts but they were saturated with equations and impossible math, I groaned; she was blocking me out.
"Please don't worry", she said seriously, pulling Jasper towards the house,
"I can't see anything bad happening".
As they disappeared through the entranceway Jasper shot me an apologetic smile, shrugging his shoulders. I stood there for a moment alone and taking a deep unnecessary breath, I followed them into the new house. I wasn't looking forward to telling Carlisle.
