Chapter 20
Zara sat curled next to Emmett wrapped in his cold embrace. She sobbed as he comforted her. This seemed to be all she did since the past few days. Emmett looked up in anger and swore to kill Rosalie as soon as he gets his hands on her. He loosened his embrace.
"Let's go somewhere," suggested Emmett. It's been a week now. I want her to smile.
"Where?" sniffled Zara.
"It's a surprise. It will make you feel better I promise that but I need to hunt before I can take you," said Emmett with a small smile.
Zara lightly pecked his cheek and nodded. Soon, Emmett left leaving Zara alone with Alice and Jasper in the Cullen mansion.
"I'll help you get ready," chirped Alice.
Alice led Zara to her huge bedroom. She disappeared into her ever growing wardrobe as Zara marvelled the elegant paintings and a bookshelf full of novels Zara was sure she had never come across. Her blue eyes darted to the simple lilac and blue walls. Jasper and lilac? Alice handed her a navy blue silk-meets-cotton dress. Zara changed into the casual dress. She matched it with red ballet flats and a shiny crimson belt. Alice added a splash of scarlet beads and voila Zara was ready.
"Do you want some help with make-up?" asked Alice politely.
"No. It's fine. I'll manage. Thanks a lot," said Zara with a gentle smile.
As Zara was applying glossy lip gloss, her phone buzzed once. She got a text message. 'Waiting 4 u near the forest on the west coast. –E'
One last look in the large mirror then Zara left. She waved at Alice and Jasper who both smiled back. Alice froze and zoned out as she saw a vision. She took a sharp intake of an unnecessary breath. The vision itself was broken. Alice saw Emmett sitting on a bench whispering, "Zara, where are you?" She tried focussing on Zara's future but as usual it was blank.
"Jazz?" called Alice. Jasper looked at her enquiringly. "We've got to follow Zara."
