Alice's POV. Terrifying I know.
Edward moved past me, and I listened to the sound of his car peeling out of the dirt driveway and vanishing through the trees and down the road.
My eyebrows pulled together, concerned for his sanity and Bella's safety. Jasper came downstairs to find me staring out the back wall/window, worrying myself almost into hyperventilation. That reaction to this mess would've been funny on a normal day, (really, a vampire panicking to the point of fainting?) but now was not helpful. I felt the comfort of his presence and powers of emotional control wash over me, and my unnecessary breathing slowed.
I turned to look up at his caring face and soothing eyes.
Long pale hands lifted to press themselves into my face, pulling my attention sharply to him.
"Jasper, what happened to our family?"
Jasper sighed with me and we breathed in each other's fragrance. He smiled gently down at me, deep voice relaxing me further.
"Bella happened. And don't even try to lie to me like Emmett," Emmett had been trying to tell us that he was glad that Bella wasn't talking to us anymore, that she'd been nothing more than an annoyance. Jasper had told me about how much he missed her. "I know you still love the little girl."
"Yes but Edward's going to ruin everything at this rate…"
"Why? Did you have a vision?"
"No…"
"Then don't worry. If he's going to screw up you'll have a vision and we'll be there to catch his mistake as per usual."
I opened my mouth to speak, but something else drove all other thoughts from my mind.
The room and Jasper twisted away to be replaced with the image of Edward, filling my mind.
Before my eyes I watched him, and felt his fury taking over, his roar echoed through my head. I saw Bella. I saw her on the forest floor, alone and stilled. Seeing her like that, however briefly, felt like dying again. I saw her eyes flash open, heard her screaming, saw her clawing at the air, crying and calling for the dog. A white room a recognized, (it was in our attic, facing the river) appeared with her in the middle of it, still screaming and sobbing blindly. I was looking down on her now, from a bird's eye perspective. She had stilled and I watched in horror as she opened her eyes and stared up at me through her vision, brows pulling together as I watched her whisper something.
The vision ended, and I took a shocked step back from Jasper. His face was etched with worry, and his hands had moved to hold mine.
I looked at him with wild, frntic eyes and breathed the words, "You're wrong, Jasper. He's already ruined it."
Short, I know, but there wasn't much I could do with Alice and Jasper. Well, that's not exactly true but…Yeah. Lol.
R&R peeps.
