Hey everyone! I'd like to thank my beta, for her help with this and she will hopefully be beta for the rest of the story becuase i know i have some problem with spelling and such.
Sorry it's so late, Doc Manager wouldn't work. Thanks for waiting. :)
(Recap of where we left the Cullen's and Lily)
Interested, I looked into Alice's mind and saw her vision.
She had seen Carlisle and Esme welcome Lilly to our home and asking if she would stay with us. I could have jumped for joy. I was elated, I was over the moon. A wide grin would have been plastered to my face if I had not sharply bitten down my lip. I saw Jasper raise an eyebrow at me.
Why are you suddenly so happy Edward? It's like you've taken all of Alice's energy and doubled it. And what's with all the love all of a sudden?
I was saved from answering when Alice burst,
" So Lilly, what would you like your room to look like?" Alice asked, with an obvious buzz.
After that I tuned out. Lilly…there was something about the flower and the beautiful vampire next to me that floated in Alice's mind. The same word and an image that wasn't very clear, or was it a memory…?
And there was also the meeting with the pack and Bella, afterwards…
EPOV
We ran back to the house, everyone's thoughts were racing about Bella and what would happen to her, to us and to the pack if she was ever found by the Volturi.
How could such a little human back such a punch?-Emmett was, as per usual thinking about the strength of someone. The way that he thought of Bella was somewhat amusing. He saw her as a little sister whose bite was just as bad as her bark. It was quite interesting that he saw her as a sister even though we barely knew her and I highly doubted if the pack would allow her to spend any time with us.
Everyone else was thinking about how it was sad that this lovely girl should be cursed with the threat of vampires over her head, and how we must keep this a secret but that had me wondering about how we could. The Volturi were just as persistent as Alice when she was in one of her shopping manias.
Silently I sighed, thinking about all of the trouble we could find ourselves if we helped her, and all of the trouble we would be in if we didn't. I shook my head, knowing that this was going to be inevitable. As one we ran and easily sped through the forest, slipping between the trees in pensive silence, each wrapped in private thoughts.
When we were home Alice ran straight to her and Jasper's room, no thoughts reaching my ears and that worried me. Usually when something was wrong and Alice ran off she told me how long she was going to be and if she wanted company or not. I frowned. Had she had a vision? Could that be the reason why she didn't assure me she was okay, because she wasn't. I looked to Jasper with a raised eyebrow, but he shook his head.
I don't think she's had a vision, but her emotions are all over the place. She's scared and worried.
I nodded to him.
I'll go see if she's okay.
Jasper ran up the stairs and to Alice, Lily looked at me, confused, and I nudged her towards the piano. Seeing that Esme and Carlisle weren't worried I took that as a sign that I could talk to Lily. I had been aching to get her alone (well, as alone as vampires could get in a house where all the occupants had super hearing). She sat down on the bench and smiled up at me.
You play?
I was surprised that she spoke to me through her mind, but I knew what she could do, so I guessed, she was indulging in my gift.
"Yes." I answered, watching her long, pale fingers make the motions of playing a chord above the keys of the piano. The grace within the movement and the way she moved her fingers down in such a way, it looked to me as if she had some knowledge of playing the piano herself.
Would you play for me? she asked, the voice of her mind serene and delicate.
"If you'd like, is there anything you like particularly?"
Surprise me.
I smirked at her, sat down beside her and played a few chords to warm up.
"I'm not sure if you'll like it." I said hesitantly, not sure what I should play.
I'm sure I'll love it.
"But you haven't a clue what I'm going to play." I asked, confused. How could she know she would like what I was going to play for her, if she didn't know what it was?
I know, and that's why I shall like it. Your emotions give me some insight as to what you might play and Alice hasn't seen anything so I'm guessing you haven't made your mind up yet.
She looked at me with those deep, beautifully golden eyes.
And that is what makes whatever you are going to play all the more rewarding.
She was amazing, such depth and inner beauty in just one person should surely be illegal. She was perfect, utterly perfect in my mind. So, I just smiled at her and then began to play something I had been thinking over for a while now, never knowing how to finish it. But, with Lily beside me in my mind I could suddenly see the keys I had to press and the sound that the note should be making. She inspired the piece I was playing, I was playing for her.
As we sat there I could hear the wonder and awe in my family's thoughts, they too knew how I had been thinking of this over and over again and from the sounds of it they liked what they heard.
Hope you liked it. Review and i'll get back to it as soon as i can.
