Chapter 10
JPOV
Returning to the house Alice wrapped a blanket around a dripping Bella . " We should really change you into dry clothes." Alice suggested . Bella's sharp shift in emotions told me that she didn't really believe that they were fine with our new status and that she was slightly afraid to be alone with Alice. I shook my head no, looking to Alice, Edward hearing what I had determined just nodding , looking down at the floor saddened. " Oh ." was all Alice could seem to say as she realized what was happening. Her guilt and sadness mixed with Edwards and Bella's were just about to bring me to my knees. I must have made a sound , because Bella turned to look at me . Her eyes showed that she know what was happening , she closed her eyes and suddenly I felt nothing. Shock must have been shown in my face , Edward's head shot up looking confused . " Why don't we go and sit down , OK? " Alice's voice made Bella jump her eyes opening , then nodding her head yes.
" Well I think we should start from the beginning ," Alice suggested. " I had a vision about a month ago , at first it seemed like nothing . Glimpses of You and Jasper together, but nothing that seemed to imply that you were more then friends or family. " Alice face lite up with a small smile , remembering this vision . " Then after Edward proposed , it changed ," she stopped , seeming to steel herself for what she was about to say, Edward moved to sit next to her , rubbing circles on her back , she looked up a sad smile now replaced the once happy one . " I sow them marry, I did a great job with it by the way . " We all smirked at Alice's attempt to lighten the mood. " They were happy ," My growl made her smirk , raising a hand she continued " for about a year . After that year I only got flashes ; Bella becoming more and more unhappy, Jasper and myself leaving the family, Jasper becoming more and more depressed , Bella begging for you two to divorce , The family falling apart , the Volturi demanding her death or her to be turned, Jasper returning to Maria ." Alice stopped closing her eyes and shaking her head back and forth, a snob leaving her . Edward ,looking down at her, continued " She sow both of your deaths . Bella runs from us , still human she finds Maria . Bella demands that Maria let her see you , but when she does you are no longer the Jasper you are now . You have gone back to being the Major that Maria controlled . Maria demands that you kill Bella , you seem to fight her control . But in the end her control over you wins and you kill Bella . Then Maria kills you." I was glad at this moment that I still was unable to feel them , the pain in both their faces was enough to cripple me. Bella gasped shaking her head slightly . " No, no, no, no , no. How ? How could this be ? I hardly know Jasper ? How could all this happen ." Bella barely whispered.
"It's the mating pull. You love each other , without really knowing each other , because it is your souls that are pulling you together. " Alice explained . " So it's not real? " Bella gasped , my heart broke . " NO ! TELL HER ! IT HAS TO BE !" I didn't even know I had stood , or that I had pinned Alice to the floor. I felt Edward trying to pull me off of her , but I wasn't moving " IT HAS TO BE REAL !" I growled over Alice , watching her eyes glaze over and a small smile appearing on her face . " Bella , NO! He is dangerous. He is ready to kill the women that has been his wife for decades. YOU ARE HUMAN ! " Edwards words started to filter into my hazed brain. " Jasper ." I turned my head towards the soft , hesitant voice. " You have to stop , you can't hurt Alice. She is your... OUR sister , and we love her . This is not her fault . She saw me , ME Jasper. I set these things in motion . It was my decision. " I started to loosen my grip on Alice as Bella's word started to clear my mind. Her hand appeared over mine and tried to pull it away from her Best Friends throat. I released Alice and backed away, Bella knelled in front of her asking if she was alright .
" Forgive me ." not moving my eyes from the floor, " Of course Jasper. I know you didn't mean me any harm. " Alice's voice stated softly. With a small laugh she continued " But I must say that I have been on the receiving end of your temper more times these past weeks then I like ." My head shot up to meet her eyes, I could feel her humor and a touch of her recovering fear . " I can feel you again." I was shocked , I still didn't understand what happen to make me lose my gift , and now it had returned , again without explanation.
"Yes, " Alice pulled herself up off the floor , then helped the still shocked Bella to do the same, before continuing " More that we must discuss. But I think it is best to wait until the family has returned home for that."
