A/N: Someone had asked me if I was going to bring in James and his coven, and I thought that it might prove to be a good twist to have them come and actually have a connection to Edward or Rosalie. As you can see, it was Edward that has the relationship with our resident bad guy and it doesn't sound like good news. Alice knows something is coming, but because Edward didn't make the decision to bring them (only to call them); she may or may not know who is behind the danger that is moving in. You will find out more in this chapter. Enjoy!

PS… sorry for the short chapter, next one will be longer. I was going to put the confrontation in, but it felt like it belonged separate when I started writing it.

Chapter 21 – Evil Eyes

Clutching her head, Alice started to hit the side of her head. She needed to know more, to see more than what had been shown to her. Danger was coming and she saw a face with cold dead unfeeling red eyes that burned her soul and sent shivers up her spine. Without thinking about anything, she grabbed her sketch pad and some pencils and started to draw his face. She needed to remember that face, those eyes, that evil smile that was plastered on his face as it felt like he was staring straight into her own eyes. That wasn't possible since it was only a vision, but it was so real and it was like he had been in the same room with her.

This was how Jasper found his wife less than twenty minutes later. She was furiously drawing a face muttering to herself. That wasn't normal. What had happened? He wasn't sure, but Jasper knew that something had possessed her to draw this one face multiple times. He counted three drawings so far and she was working on a fourth. Slowly making his way to her side, he laid his hand on her shoulder and squeezed, "Alice hon. What's going on? Who is this?" He spoke to her like she was a skittish horse and kept his voice controlled, low, and soft.

"Evil. Pure evil," she whispered gazing up into her mates eyes.

Jasper could see the fear in her eyes and gasped. He had never seen her like this; she was almost crazed with her need to draw this man and the terror he found in her golden depths, "Alice darlin', what is going on? Ya' have to talk to me sweetheart."

Looking down at what she was doing, Alice dropped the paper and the pencil she was working with and quickly wrapped her arms around Jasper's waist burying her face into his stomach. She was shaking and she couldn't seem to stop it, but feeling her mates arms winding their way around her shoulders made her feel better… safer. Taking a deep breath, she explained, "A vision. I don't know why, but he is coming and he means to take Bella. I am not sure why or anything like that, but when I gazed into his eyes, it was like he was dead and didn't care what he did to anybody to get what he wanted."

"When? When is he coming Alice?" Jasper was starting to think about the whys of such a person coming and only came up with two scenarios: Rosalie or Edward.

"In a week or so," Alice whispered.

"You don't see why or who is bringing him here?"

"No, just that he is coming and will try to get to Bella."

Jasper's mind was working to find the connections or the possible connections between this man and the Cullen Coven. It didn't make sense that a stranger would just show up out of the blue and try to get Bella unless they were told to come, and if Alice didn't see the culprit that means they had been asked in a roundabout way that would mean that this stranger made up his own mind to come. He made the decision. Since joining the Cullen's, Rose had not left the family except when she and Emmett would separate from the others for short breaks, but they always came back and they were always together when they weren't with the others. Edward was another story though. He had separated and decided to try to be a non-vegetarian for a while rebelling against everything Carlisle had taught him and the rules he was forced to live under. No one was really sure who he met or what he did except that he had been living off of humans instead of animals for a while since his eyes had been bright red when he returned. That had happened before Alice and Jasper had joined the coven, but the others that had been there at the time had told him all of the stories.

Glancing down at the picture, Jasper reached over and picked up the one that was half way done, "I am going to go and talk to Carlisle."

Alice nodded, "I'm coming with you."

Jasper kissed the top of her head and then released her as he gathered up her sketches. They needed to inform their coven leader of the upcoming danger to Bella and the family, but the southern vampire also wanted to talk to the patriarch about the two reasons why this new vampire would be coming here, and neither one looked good for the family. Both meant that there was a traitor in their midst and traitors had to learn that they never crossed the coven.

A few minutes later they were knocking on Carlisle's study and were told to enter. The couple walked up to where the older vampire was seated behind his desk looking at them expectantly. "What can I do for you both?" The leader of the family asked.

Alice informed him of her vision and then Jasper showed him the pictures. "Do you recognize him?" Jasper questioned knowing that he probably didn't, but setting it all up to explain the theories going through the empath's mind.

"No, and you say he is coming for Bella?" Carlisle probed. A stranger would not enter their territory for a specific human unless they knew about her from another source. The only people that knew about Bella and her association with vampires were the Cullen family, which was something he didn't even want to fathom, but he could not completely deny.

Sensing the emotions coming from the father figure, Jasper knew Carlisle was already thinking along the same lines he was, "He is, and it is possible he will not be alone. If he is coming for Bella, only one of two people would have told him about her: Rose or Edward. My theory is Edward because he is upset about losing Bella to Emmett, and he still want to believe his delusions that Emmett has us fooled and Bella belongs to him. Rose hasn't ever left the family, but Edward when through his rebellious phase and could have easily met other vampires that you have no knowledge about. He has been following your rules and drinking from animals since he has been back, but there was a time he drank from humans."

"If we attack him, he might leave or say that we are accusing him unjustly. What do you propose we do?" Carlisle inquired. He wanted to keep peace in the family, but if Jasper was right and Edward did this, then something had to be done.

"I say we show him Alice's drawings, but to make it fair, we need to show them to everyone in the family. The person that shows a hint of recognition is the person that is bringing him here. I could be wrong and it could be someone else, but I am betting on Edward," Jasper declared.

Carlisle nodded and knew that was the best way to go about this, but he couldn't help but fell that his family was on the verge of imploding, at least a little. Sighing, he said, "Edward left the house about an hour ago. We will wait until he gets back and have a family meeting. I do recommend that when he gets here, you wipe your minds or think of something else. I don't want him suspecting something before we can confront him."

"Agreed," the mated pair said at the same time. Now it was a waiting game for Edward to show up, and then they would confront the family about what was about to descend upon them. Bella was family now and they would protect her with every fiber of their being, and if someone wanted to interfere in that or hinder them, he or she would pay the price.
