Evelyn's p.o.v
I couldn't believe what I was hearing. He was this close…utterly close.
He lured me there on purpose!
Carlisle and Emmett were doing all they could to keep Jasper calm.
His growls echoed through the house as he tried to break free from their grasp.
Alice protectively stood in front of Rick, making sure Jasper couldn't attack him with his fury.
Esme and Rosalie stood on either side of me in case I would snap at Rick like Jasper was doing this moment.
"Let me at him! I'm going to tear that spy limb from limb!" Jasper repeated numerous of times.
"Calm down my son, think rational. Think of what your actions will do to Alice if you kill her mate." Carlisle said trying to calm Jasper down.
"If you want I can kick his butt for you, I won't kill him just have a little fun for what he did to Evy." Emmett suggested.
"See, I told you we should have kept this quiet! But no, you suggested we'd be honest about everything! Demetri, the Journal…" Rick whispered to Alice who motioned him to shush it by placing her index finger on his lips.
"Alice, you knew?" Esme asked her daughter quietly.
Alice bit her bottom lip and gave her adoptive mother a light nod,
"I'm sorry if I had been there in time I would have prevented him from taking the Journal. You know that, don't you Evy?"
For a minute she thought about moving away from her mate, but when her eyes got hold of Jaspers angry face she decided it was best to stay where she was.
I stood up from my seat and walked over to her and Rick.
I tried to keep my main focus on Alice, but I couldn't help it that my eyes automatically diverted to Ricks direction.
"Alice…" I moved my gaze back to her," I know you would have stopped him, had you been there in time."
A smile appeared on Alice her face.
"But I'm still very, VERY cross with you." I snarled making the smile vanish from her face.
"And you…" I turned my attention to the guy behind her," Richard O'Donnell.
"Having eavesdropped on us last night and to make matters worse you deliberately lured me away from the house with your dumb note, knowing Alice was no where around to warn me about Demetri waiting for my arrival."
I saw Alice throwing her mate an angry look, and I realized she of course was angry with him as well. In a way he had betrayed her trust too.
"The point is…" I gritted with my teeth trying to maintain my level of calmness,
"you could have delivered me to Demetri. No one was around…and how am I able to fight two vampires at the same time? Even with my still slightly newborn strength I have no experience in fighting…"
My speech was interrupted by a hiss from Jasper followed by the sound of glass breaking. Somehow he had thrown Carlisle aside and was now being held by Rosalie and Esme who was trying to talk sense into him.
Rick lowered his head proofing to me that had been the plan they had planned.
"What I mean to say is…you could have done that, you could have betrayed all of us. Delivered me to Demetri, right there and then…but you didn't Rick." I said softly.
He raised his head to look at me," Evelyn…"
"Alice trusts you…and today you proofed that I can trust you too."
"Oh Evy," Alice flung her arms around my neck and pulled me close to her," you won't regret your words, I promise you."
"Alice, you can let go now." I said to her after 10 seconds had passed, quickly she dropped her arms to her sides and gave me her famous enchanting smile.
"So can I still organize the wed,-"
Immediately I placed my hand over her mouth to shush her. We hadn't told the others yet.
Luckily Alice understood and I felt her mouth shut tight underneath my hand.
"Sorry." She mouthed as I removed my hand.
I walked back to Jasper who was still being held by Emmett and the others.
"I'm fine…" he mumbled before I had the chance to ask him,
"If he crosses the line one more time…"
"I know Jazz." I replied as I cupped his cheek.
"No you don't know!" without a warning he swiftly retracted his arms from the others grasp and pushed me aside.
Rick had pushed Alice out of harm's way and defended himself from the force with which Jasper came crashing into him.
"Jasper!" I yelled at the same time, Alice called out to Rick.
"Fight!" Emmett shouted as he jumped towards them.
"Emmett!" Rosalie angrily snapped at her mate," unbelievable…"
"Shouldn't we do something about this?"Esme asked Carlisle, who had his lips pressed together trying to hide a smile. Esme rolled her eyes when she noticed.
"Maybe we should let them rampage on for a moment, get it out of their system." He answered with light giggle.
"Rick, you stop this instant!"Alice shouted to her mate.
It was no use, yelling didn't do any good; they were completely focused on the fight.
Especially Emmett and it wasn't even his fight.
"Is anybody going to get killed?" I asked Alice who stood beside me.
She waited for a moment, then shook her head," nah, believe it or not, but Rick has been eager to fight with Jasper for a while."
I frowned," Really?"
"Demetri told him Jasper and I used to be…well you know." She said carefully.
"Maybe it's time I kick your butt too then?"
"Who are you kidding…you couldn't beat me." Alice smirked and wiggled her nose.
"Oh, is that so?" I crossed my arms.
"I've foreseen it." she simply replied taking a step back.
I shook my head," No, no I'm not going to hit you."
"Aw, I know you want to…"
Was she trying to tempt me into taking a swing at her?
"Alice, what are you playing at?"
"Hit me."
"Excuse me?"
"You heard me, hit me with your best shot."
"Alice!"
"Evy," she hissed with a clenched jaw as she nodded her head at the direction of our fighting mates," take-a-swing-at -me!"
Gosh, that's what she meant…
Without warning her I ran forward, grabbed hold of her arm and flung her across the room.
It only took Rick a second to respond, he broke loose from Jasper's grasp and jumped after Alice, catching her in time before she hit the wall.
"My hero,' she joked as she batted her eyelashes at him.
"What just happened?" Emmett asked, looking rather bewildered, his shirt was torn and his dark hair all tussled up.
"Darlin', did you just throw Alice across the room?" Jasper looked at me confused as I approached him.
"You men were so caught up in the fight so Alice suggested the only way to break you apart was to do something drastic." I replied moving a strand of curled hair from his eyes.
"Drastic you say?" Jasper turned his head and looked at his sister and Rick.
"It worked like a charm, I'd say." I grinned.
"Evy, why did you do that, I was getting the perfect work out!" Emmett complained to me.
Rosalie appeared next to him and wrapped her arms around his neck," If you're lucky for a work out perhaps you should follow me up the stairs?"
The look on Emmetts face, she didn't have to tell him twice.
Then I saw Rosalie blink for a moment, she removed her arms from around Emmett's neck her hand reached out and grabbed my hand.
"Is that what I think it is?" she looked at me.
"Uh,-"I uttered as Esme and Carlisle approached us.
Esme clasped her hands over her mouth," you proposed?" she smiled at her adoptive son.
"We might as well tell them." I said to Jasper.
He nodded in agreement and wrapped his arms around my waist."I proposed, Evy and I are engaged."
Soon hugs followed and congratulation kisses from Esme and Carlisle.
"Another wedding…" Esme couldn't stop smiling.
"I'll make sure everything will go smoothly and peaceful, no fighting at the wedding." Alice sternly said to Rick who raised his arm in defense.
"Why are you telling me off, I never took the first swing?"
"You're not going to make me wear another purple dress are you?" Rosalie asked me, though we all knew the question was meant for Alice.
Alice placed her hands on her hips and glared at Rosalie," I was thinking something more along the line of bright pink with a red ribbon."
Rosalie's head snapped to my direction.
"Don't look at me like that, I didn't say a thing." I told her.
Rosalie was about to say something put was pulled away by Emmett who lifted her in his arms," I thought you and I had a date? Upstairs?" he smirked then quickly kissed her red lips.
The smile she gave him was all he needed to know, and with a swift motion Emmett ran up the stairs with Rosalie in his arms.
"Ah, love is everywhere at the moment." Esme said to her husband, Carlisle gave her a warm smile.
"I never really got a chance to congratulate you." Rick's said as he took a step towards me.
Jasper snarled at him and pulled me close.
"But it can wait…" Rick quickly added as he stepped back.
"Jazz, please…he's good alright? It's me he's with…I will never do anything to put Evy in danger…or you." Alice said to her former lover.
He didn't reply on her comment. Alice sighed and knew it was useless to discuss it at the moment.
"Well…maybe not everywhere…" Esme sighed deeply.
Carlisle, who stood next to her, had a worried look on his face. He appeared lost in thoughts, touching the chin and staring into oblivion.
"Sweetheart…?" Esme called out to him.
"Mm?" he looked down at his wife.
"Is something the matter?"
"I'm worried about the Journal that Rick gave to Demetri…you said he didn't have it anymore?" Carlisle looked at Rick.
Rick shook his head," according to Demetri he didn't have it anymore, but he sort of forgot to mention where the journal is…"
"Of course he did…" I mumbled feeling frustrated. I was feeling more frustrated because Jasper wasn't calming down. Even though I was no empath like him, I still felt the tension in his arms as he held me close to him.
"I wouldn't be surprised if the Volturi leaders have it…" Jasper said.
Rick agreed with him," I'm quite sure that's the case. I can't imagine Demetri needing the journal for anything."
I started to feel shivers up my spine and I knew what was in that journal… I've written it. I've tested the tests that Carlisle wrote down.
"Darlin', it's okay, they can't harm you…" Jasper whispered to me as he stroked my hair.
I looked at Carlisle, who was already looking at me.
"I'm not so sure about that…" We both said at the same time.
Reviews please ^^ much appreciated.
