YOU GUYS ROCK! :D
We arrived at the Cullens house in about 30 minutes flat. We stopped at the small porch and I looked into Jasper's eyes. I sent him every emotion I was feeling at that moment; love, worry, relief, and confidence. He slightly squeezed my hand as he opened the door for me and we both stepped in.
No one moved from their places since we left. Everyone was still in the living room discussing, but as usual, the talking quickly cut off when we entered and all eyes went on us. Jasper quickly and quietly sat down on the nearest empty love seat while I just stood in front of everyone. He never really liked being in the spotlight and having attention.
"Jasper and I are leaving in about half an hour to pick them up. They will be staying in the forest for the time of their visit. We will be taking my Porsche." I stated then sat down next to Jasper and took his hand in mine.
All eyes followed me and were now staring. I furrowed my eye brows.
"What?" I asked.
"Alice, this is crazy. Why do we have to do it this way? We still have some time left." asked Edward.
I sighed. "We've been through this already. We don't have enough time to come up with something better and we could at least give this a try. If it doesn't work, then..." I cut off.
I didn't want to think about what would happen if it didn't work. Everyone could tell that too.
"Alice, this will work. I won't let it fail." Jasper said in the most comforting voice he could muster.
I hung my head. There still was the possibility that it could fail. But I have to think positive. It will work! I need to become my old self again. I snapped my head up, turned to Jasper and smiled a bright smile, letting the light spark off my white teeth.
"You're right! It will work!" I said cheerfully.
Everyone was a little surprised at my new change in personality. All eye brows even shot up. I giggled a little. My new optimistic attitude must've been a little weird.
"What's with new optimism?" asked Rosalie.
"Haven't I've always been optimistic?" I asked.
"Not for awhile I guess. The mood here was dull when you left and we were rarely happy." said Carlisle.
"Well, I wasn't happy either, but I'm determined to change that. Starting now. I'm not going to let negative thoughts hold me back. I'm going to concentrate on the positive so this will work." I said with so much confidence.
They all stared at me with dumbfounded expressions. Yup, I definately caught them by surprise. A thought struck me then. I ran to the kitchen and looked at myself in one of the spatulas to see my reflection.
"Damn, I need to go hunting before we go." I said while looking at my darkening eyes.
I quickly looked at the clock and dashed out of the house. I had fifteen minutes to find a deer or two. I heard 3 different pairs of footsteps following me. I looked back to see Jasper, Bella, and Edward on my tail. I stopped unexpectedly and spotted a doe. I hated this part of hunting; the killing. Even though they were animals, they were still living creatures just like humans.
I quickly snapped her neck and drank. It tasted kinda stale yet satisfying. I looked behind me again and they were staring at me.
"What?!" I was getting a little irritated with all the staring. I like attention and all but it's annoying.
"Nothing." replied Bella.
I shrugged my shoulders and danced to Jasper's side. It has been so long since I danced, and it felt as good as air to a drowning human. He wove his arm around my waist and all 4 of us walked back to the house. Jasper and I didn't go in. We just headed straight into the garage and I slid into the driver's seat of my yellow Porsche. Jasper sat on the passenger's seat and held my hand.
I smiled as I gazed at our hands. Jasper always made me so much more relaxed and better then before. I slowly kissed his cheek, letting my lips linger on his face for a few moments. He closed his eyes.
"You okay?" I asked.
He opened his eyes. "I always am when I'm with you."
His voice sent a warm fuzzy feeling throughout my entire body. Only he could make me feel like this. I put the keys in the ignition and sped off onto the highway.
We didn't say anything the entire way. As we started to pass signs leading to the Seattle Internation Airport, I felt him tense up. He was dreading meeting the people who are supposed to hurt me. It goes against every moral he has to not kill anyone who does. I love how he is so protective of me. I'm the same with him.
Their were hardly any cars in the parking lot when we arrived. I parked and turned off the car. Before getting out, we stared into each other's eyes for a good long minute, trying to analyse our thoughts and emotions. We got out of the car and swiftly entered the building. Very few people were in lobby, waiting for people to get off the plane.
The doors opened and everyone flooded out. Despite the few people waiting, there were hundreds coming out of the plane. I spotted Miranda and waved her over. Her face was contorted with regret and pain, as if she were crying. She finally walked up to us.
"Miranda, what's wrong?!" I asked.
"Alice, I'm so so unbelievable sorry! I had no choice!" she sobbed.
"What do you mean?!"
I looked up and cloaked figures were walking towards us. My breathing stopped as I realized that the battle was over before it begun.
dun dun dun!! hehe, i felt like writing a cliffhanger today so there we go! i promise to update tomorrow or after tomorrow so you wont be anxious for long ^_^ please review!
