Chapter 11:
I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THE CULLENS! I wish I owned Edward Cullen!
Alice was sprawled on the floor of her bedroom lost in her thoughts. She played the premonition over and over in her head, trying to figure everything out. She rolled over and closed her eyes, a large headache developing in her temples. She placed her fingers to her temples. She heard the door creak open and she squinted towards the door.
"Is it okay if I come in?" Jasper asked pausing in the door way.
"Yea, Jassie Bear. I'm sorry I've been so distant baby."Alice apologized as she got up from the floor and crossed the space between them in a split second.
"It's ok. I know this premonition has been bugging you. Is there anything I could do?" He asked as he wraps his arms around her waist. Her arms wrap around his neck.
"Mmm…that sounds rather nice." She said with a mischievous smile before pulling him close to her for a tender kiss. The atmosphere became rather tranquil and her worries soon melted away as they made their way towards the bed, their lips never breaking apart. Jasper laid her down and stroked her hair, but before he could fully show how much he loved her, she pulled away and looked up towards the ceiling.
"What do you see?" He asked her. She didn't respond and she sat up against the head board of their bed. She curled herself up into a ball and rocked back and forth on her heels. She looked down and still wouldn't respond to him. He tried his hardest to curb her fright and replace it with calm but for some reason, she was cut off from him. He grabbed her shoulders and shook her violently, trying to get her to snap out of her trance.
"Alice! Baby! What's wrong?" Jasper pulled her closer to him. "Edward! Bella! Someone!"
Edward and Bella were the first to the room. They looked as Alice's eyes began to roll inside her head and her body began to seize. They rushed to Jasper's side.
"What happened?" Bella asked as she helped Edward lay his sister flat on the bed. Jasper jumped out of their way and stood at the foot of the bed. Carlisle was there in a split second checking Alice like she was any normal person in the ER.
"We were just kissing and then she looked like she was having a vision. I don't know what could have gone wrong. Then she seemed scared, like she saw a ghost!" Jasper said anxiously staring at his beloved flopping about on the bed.
"I have never seen this in a vampire before." Carlisle said stepping back from his daughter, looking at her with much concern.
"Don't just stand there Carlisle!" Jasper yelled from the back of the room. He continued to pace back and forth.
"Bella take Jasper downstairs. Edward run and get me a pint of blood from the deep freeze." Carlisle said as if he was talking to the nurses in the hospital. The couple did as they were told. Esme appeared besides Alice holding her shaky hand in her own.
Downstairs, Bella was sitting on the white couch with Rose and Little EJ. Jasper was continuing his pace behind them. The woman glanced at each other and then continued to stare down at the toddler watching TV on the floor. They knew better than to try and console Jasper when he was pacing. A loud cry came from upstairs. Jasper was the first to bolt from the room instantaneously and reappear in his and Alice's bedroom. Alice lay on her side, blood dripping from the corner of her mouth. There was a large blood spot on the carpet beside the bed and the smell filled all the vampire's noses. Rose and Emmett ran back downstairs far away from the tempting scent. Bella gulped and with all her might, she embraced Jasper and ran with him close to her out of the room. Jasper withdrew himself from Bella's grip and stood facing her defiantly. She looked at him with compassionate eyes. His eyes lost the hostile glower and he leaned his back against the hallway wall. He dropped to the floor holding his head in his hands. Bella knew that if he were human, he would be crying tears right now.
Minutes passed, then an hour. It was the wee hours of the morning when Edward emerged with a grim look on his face. Jasper jumped up, waiting for him to say something. Edward opened his mouth as if to say something, but then closed it. Before he could try again, Carlisle walked out of the room.
"She's stable. She's not shaking anymore and she seems to be in a deep sleep. We can't seem to awaken her." He said solemnly.
"She's a vampire! You said yourself, We don't sleep!" Jasper shouted enraged.
"Jasper, please remain calm. We're going to try everything we can to wake her up." Edward assured him, placing a hand on his shoulder. He embraced his adoptive sibling and joined his wife at his side. Jasper pursed his lips and clenched his fists at his side. He nodded toward Edward and Bella and walked into the bedroom. He watched as Esme got up from beside his girlfriend and walked towards him. She hugged him before leaving the room and closing the door behind her. Jasper walked towards the bed; the bed they had shared since they met the Cullens in beginning, the bed they shared the night they first made love, the bed they always laid in and talked in. Sadness crept into his body and if he could shed tears, bucketfuls would come pouring out. He reached the bed and laid down besides his love. Her breathing was normal, and nothing looked wrong. She just looked like she was fast asleep. Jasper laid there next to her and intertwined his hand with hers. He wished she could just be her bubbly, optimistic self again.
Downstairs, everyone gathered around. Edward was on the phone calling Renesmee on her cell phone and getting her voicemail.
"Ness, you need to come to Grandpa's at once, something has happened." Edward spoke with a demanding voice. Bella sensed his frustration and walked over to his side as he hung up the phone.
"She'll be here. Don't be angry with her, she's only a child." Bella said soothingly into his ear.
"If she was just a child, she would pick up the phone and not be lying in bed with a dog!" Edward growled underneath his breath. Bella looked at her husband's dark features. She can tell that he needed to hunt.
"Let's go out and hunt. Little EJ wants to show you what he's learned since you've been gone." Bella said endearingly. She sensed that the trouble with his sister was taking its toll on her husband. Edward looked at her and smiled a small smile. He knew why he loved this woman, because she knew him inside and out, and she always surprised him. Before they could leave on their hunt, Edward's phone blared from his pocket. Bella smiled as she heard Debussy.
"Hello. Yes, I am home. Your Aunt is ill. Well your mother and I were about to go and hunt. Okay. I'll see you in a little bit." She heard Edward say before he shut his phone and stashed it into his pocket. She picked her son up into her arms. They leapt outside the window in Edward's old room, hand in hand.
Nessie rolled over in bed. Her head was burning up and she felt dizzy every time she stood up. Maybe I have what Aunt Alice has. Renesmee wondered as she sat up. The room began to spin wildly again. She flopped back on the bed.
"Jake!" She yelled as she shut her eyes tight. He bounded into the room, with a pained expression on his face.
"What's wrong?" He said as he slowly moved towards the bed to get a better view. She lifted her head off the bed with only her neck, looking at him with a dazed look.
"I think I'm coming down with something. I need you to call Mom and Dad and tell them I can't make it over to see Aunt Alice." Nessie said as she dropped her head back to the hard mattress.
"It can't be that bad." Jake said sitting beside his girlfriend on their bed. As soon as he spoke, Nessie sat straight up and leaned over the side of the bed. She vomited straight into a small waste basket the couple kept at the side of the bed. Jacob's face twisted into a disgusted grimace. Nessie looked up at him and leaned her forehead against his arm. His shirt began to spot from her sweat.
"Ness! You're burning up! He laid her straight on the bed and ran to the hallway bathroom grabbing a hand towel and running it under the cold water tap. He quickly walks back to the bedroom and places the damp rag on her head. Without moving his hand from her head he reaches into his pocket and pulls out his cell phone dialing Bella's number.
