Chapter 11
The Phone Call
(Alice POV)
"Hey, Alice. We're all going hunting. We'll be back in an hour or so." Hannah shouted over at me. "Ok!" I shouted back at her and everyone ran off. I climbed up to the very top of the highest tree, just to make sure that even if anyone was hanging around they wouldn't hear me. I took out my phone and dailed Rosalie's number. It rang on until it went to voicemail. I left a message, hung up then tried again. It only rang twice this time and then someone answered. It was Jasper,
"Hello?" He said.
"Hi, it's me, Alice." I told him,
"Oh, Alice. What do you want?"
"Well, I'm calling Rose's phone so, take a wild guess!"
"Hang on and I'll get her now." He threw the phone somewhere (I think the bed) and went to get Rose. I waited while Jasper got Rose. He wasn't hiding how mad he was at me. But he was the one that wanted me to leave. If he didn't want me to leave, then why did he tell me to? After about 2 minutes, Jasper came back to the phone.
"She's not here!" He told me,
"Where is she?"
"Out with Emmett!"
"Why didn't she bring her phone?"
"I don't know. Try calling Emmett's phone and if he doesn't pick up, well I don't really care what you do."
"Ok, bye!
"Bye" He hung up. I sighed and then dialed Emmett's number. I waited as it rang on. Maybe Emmett and Rose hate me as well. I hope not. I looked at my watch and sighed. Everyone had been only away for about 5 minutes, so they wouldn't be back for ages. Finally Emmett picked up.
"Hello?" He said sounding a lot like Jasper,
"Hi, it's Alice. Is Rose there?"
"Oh, yea, here she is now."
"Alice, what's wrong?" Rose asked me.
"I'll explain in a second just one question. Why is your phone at the house if you aren't?"
"Oh right. Emmett is betting me $20 that I wouldn't be able to survive a day without my phone. Now what's wrong?" I grinned and explained the whole story about Emily to her. She listened and didn't interrupt once. As soon as I'd finished she sighed,
"She might hate you because she thnks that you are an absolute nut job." Rose suggested.
"Well, I am a nut job, but that doesn't explain why she hates me."
"You are going to have to just ask her and if she doesn't tell you pull her ginger hair until she caves." We both laughed at this.
"Yeah, you're right. Thanks so much for helping me out."
"Sure, any time. Um... Alice?"
"Yeah?"
"You are going to come back and visit soon. Aren't you?"
"Yeah, of course."
"Ok. Bye!"
"Bye!" I hung up. "So who hates you?" A voice said from beside me. I turned around to see Emily sitting beside me grinning.
"You do." I told her, "But what I can't understand is why."
"I don't hate you. I just don't want to get involved."
"What do you mean?"
"Well, I don't want to be a vampire. I mean, killing humans for food. That's horrible."
"Is that why you aren't out hunting with everyone else?"
She nodded, "Wait, why aren't you out with them?"
"I don't hunt humans."
"So you can survive without blood?" she was getting excited,
"Well, no. But you can drink animal blood instead."
"Really? Will you show me?"
"Sure. How long has it been since you hunted?"
"Well... um... I never... I never actually have hunted."
I gasped, "So are you thirsty?"
She nodded, "Can we go tomorrow?"
"Ok. Wait, I made sure that there was nobody around when I called Rose. Where were you then?"
"I was right beside you. Look, it's so cool." she said and then disappered.
"Emily?" I asked. I heard Emily giggle from beside me. She touched my shoulder and then reappeared again.
"It's pretty cool right."
"Yeah. I've never met any vampire with the power of invisability before."
"Julia says that I'm the only one. Do you have a power?"
I nodded, "I can see the future."
"Wow, awesome!"
"So, if you don't hunt at all, how come Megan does?"
"Well, ever since Katylin, Ariana and Julia changed us, Megan's personality changed. Now all she cares about is killing people."
"How long ago were you changed?"
"About 2 months."
"Wow, you went that long without blood."
"Yup." she said popping the 'p'
I laughed, "Well meet me here at 7:00am tomorrow and we'll head off hunting. Ok."
"Sure. But can we meet at the bottom of the tree."
I rolled my eyes, "Fine."
