Ever since that heart to heart with Alice, I've felt much better. During my human life I figured out I had a facebook page, filled with pictures of me and Lace. Most vampires forget their human past anyway, so learning that made me forgetting better to tolerate.
Now something else is bugging me, but I haven't let Edward in on my thoughts, at least not yet. When Edward had to hunt, I took that as an opportunity to talk to Alice alone.
"Are you sure you want me to go? I can wait a little longer." Edward questioned, I'm sure Jasper was letting my mood reflect in his thoughts. "No, it's fine. You don't have to starve because of me."
I stood on my tiptoes and lightly kissed him, he deepened it though and all my plans quickly left my brain. All I could think about was how much I loved Edward, but then there came Emmett.
"You can get a room later, Waverly." he said as he pulled Edward out into the back yard where Esme and Jasper were waiting. Carlisle was at work, and since the shifters had new members they hunted in groups.
Me, Alice, Rosalie and Carlisle hunted while Esme, Jasper, Emmett, and Edward stayed at home or vice versa. When they took off, I turned to Alice. "So, Alice-"
"You want to talk to me, right?" she interrupted. "How did you-" I stopped short when Alice tapped her temple, psychics are annoying. "Yes, I want to talk to you. It's about me and Edward." I sat down beside Alice on the couch, she gave me a concerned look.
"What about you and Edward?" I looked down at my hands, they were fidgeting in my lap. "Um. Okay, this might sound kind of stupid, but." I sighed and looked up at Alice.
"Is there a…reason, he proposed earlier?" With that said my right hand began fingering the ring, and I worried that I might ruin it from playing with it too much.
"Oh, Waverly. Edward loves you, he really does. When you were human, he couldn't stop worrying about you, and when you went missing…" she trailed off.
"When you went missing, it killed him. He thought someone had really hurt you or killed you, while he was gone." I felt guilty, he was hurt because of me.
"When the army came, and he saw you. Edward felt so guilty and ashamed, he didn't want you to be a vampire. In his eyes, you were perfect as a human. The way he described you, made even Rose jealous."
Alice grabbed both of my hands, probably so I would look at her. "You have to understand. Edward proposed early, so that he could finally be with you." I choked back a sob.
None of this ever came to mind, I never thought me being changed would affect him as much as it did. Alice pulled me into a tight hug, so tight I think I pulled my arm out of place. I didn't care though, I just wanted to see Edward.
I pulled away, determined to distract my mind so that Edward wouldn't see our little conversation. "You want to look at more wedding stuff?" I asked, and Alice more than happily dragged me to a computer.
"Okay so now that we have your dress we can't think about it." I interrupted her. "You know he's already seen it, I'm sure you, Rose, or Esme has slipped up."
Alice shook her head vigorously, still clicking the mouse in efforts of speeding up the computer start up. "I have made sure that I kept my mind clean of the wedding.
Rose thinks about…well whatever she thinks about, so Edward tries to block out her mind. Esme doesn't know we choose that dress, so she hasn't thought about it. I am making sure this wedding is perfect!"
I tuned out the rest of the wedding chatter, it was easy for me to get bored. An embrace from behind me pulled me back into reality.
"I see your looking up wedding dresses." He said, and I quickly ushered him out of the room. "No, you can't see the dress. Alice's orders." I pushed him into our bedroom, then realized my mistake as I heard Emmett's laughter from downstairs.
"Why is your brother always amused by something sex related?" I questioned with my eyebrows raised. "Because Rose hold's out on him a lot." He replied, and that sent me into a fit of giggles.
I then heard Emmett counter that claim. "At least I've gotten some, Eddie boy. Waverly still hasn't given you a taste of manhood." Everyone downstairs was laughing, including me.
Uncomfortable silence followed until he started towards the door, I moved in his path. "Oh, no. Alice is still surfing the web for my perfect dress. Come on." I said and pushed him towards the large window that made up a wall and, with a light push, made the window swing outwards.
He grabbed my hand and we jumped out the window together, landing on the ground with a faint thud. Still hand in hand, we sprinted off into the forest. "Wanna race?" I asked, and he laughed and ran faster into the dark night.
Edward stopped when we reached a small lake. "Why are we stopping?" I asked. I looked around at the scene, the lake has a tiny waterfall on one side and the other was surrounded by purple, yellow, and blue wildflowers.
The setting was breathtaking with the moonlight illuminating everything with a soft glow. When I looked back over at Edward, he had a strange look on his face.
I was instantly worried, it wasn't a good sign whenever Edward was worried considering he's a mind reader. What's wrong? I asked, he didn't even glance at me.
I followed the direction that his eyes were, and saw a figure in the trees. "What was that?" I asked as I frantically searched for the missing person.
"Come on, I don't think Alice is looking at dresses anymore." he said, putting his arm around my waist and leading me back to the house. I knew something was up, we could read each other like that.
Maybe it was the Volturi. I cringed at the thought of Isabella stalking me. She was a weird one for sure, but I don't think she was maniacal enough to attempt it with the Cullens nearby.
I'll ask someone later about it. When me and Edward walked inside, hand in hand, I noticed all the Cullens crowding in the living room.
"What's going on?" I asked, and noticed a woman with golden brown hair sitting with her back facing me. I could tell she was a vampire immediately by her scent.
It was the way all the Cullens were glaring at her, except Esme and Carlisle of course, that through me off. I noticed that even Edward had a angry expression on his face.
Only when the girl turned around to meet my face, did I realize why everyone was scowling at her. The first thing I noticed was her bright red, crimson eyes.
