Alice wasn't sure what was happening when she heard the fire alarm go off and spoke billow out from Edward's room. Her heart dropped in to her stomach at the thought of her adopted brother being trapped in there and even though he and Jasper may not get along Edward was still her family and she couldn't leave him to fend for himself during a fire. For all she knew he could be hurt or even trapped with no way of getting out. The small girl was pretty sure Jasper had gotten out because his room was further away and so he would have smelled the smoke and assumed she would meet him of the safety outside.

"Edward?" She called happy with the fact she'd had time to get dressed after her shower. Plus since her body was still damp it may help against the rapidly rising heat. "Edward please if you are still in here you must give me some kind of sign!"

When she received no reply she ran in the direction of his bedroom and took the towel which had been wrapped around her head in order to dry and placed it over her mouth to try and filter out some of the smoke. Alice reached out with her left hand to open his door, but as soon as her hand touched the metal her entire hand felt like it had been light on fire. She yanked it away quickly and took the towel away from her mouth to try and sooth the burning ache on the already blistering flesh on her fingers and the top half of the palm of her hand.

Clenching her teeth together she reached out with towel to turn the still hot doorknob. To her luck the wood did not give away as she pushed it open in order to enter her adopted brother's room. "Edward!"

Orange flames had engulfed the carpet and she could already feel her bare feet starting to burn, but she did her best to push past the pain. Alice could feel her eyes watering due to the smoke and her lungs felt as if she had swallowed a piece of sand paper that had been dipped in hot sauce. Her head was starting to feel fuzzy from lack of oxygen and she couldn't remember if she had already searched the room for her brother or not. Pushing forward in to the intense heat she let her eyes scan the floor in order to ensure Edward hadn't passed out due to the smoke or something. When she realized the floor was clear of him she moved to his closet which was partially on fire and threw the doors open relieved to see he hadn't hidden in there like she had read about people doing in similar situations. Next she looked under his computer desk and was again relieved to find the space empty.

"If you didn't get out of here I think I may have to drag your burned ass out myself so that I can have the pleasure of killing you myself. I want a brother not a fried piece of Edward." She muttered with a cough before deciding there was only really one last place she could think of checking.

Getting on to her hands and knees she looked under the bed squinting to try and get a better view in the darkness and haze of smoke which had taken up residence under his bed. Sliding her hands under the bed she felt around to make sure she hadn't missed anything and satisfied with her search the pixie like teen girl went to stand up and make her own escape when suddenly a wave of dizziness overcame her as her knees gave out underneath her. Her head hit the corner of the bed as she fell sideways making the already room blurry room spin. Flames inched closer to her face and the only thing she could do was try to crawl to the door since Alice was pretty sure that she had lost all the strength in her body and so standing up and making a break for it was not an option.

"Jasper…" She rasped out trying to cry out for help since she knew he would help her if only he could hear her. Trying to clear her throat she tried to be louder this time. "Jasper…"

In the back of her mind she knew that it was no use. There was absolutely no way the love of her life would be able to hear here especially if he were outside. Unless he came looking for her it looked as if this would be the end and she would never want the honey blond to risk his own life for hers. Maybe it was better he couldn't hear her calling for help. Then he would never be able to blame himself for not coming to her rescue. A part of her wondered if he would be able to move on after she was gone and that one thought alone along with the picture of his broken expression was enough to give her one last burst of energy.

Somehow the tiny female managed to pull herself up using the help of Edward half burned desk and stumble out of doorway in to the hall. Her body smacked hard against the glass of a picture frame hanging on the wall, but she shook it off and half feel down the hall towards the stars. Smoke seemed to follow her as she finally made it to the top of stairs. She wondered if her last ditch effort to escape and make it back to Jasper was even worth it as she felt her body fall down the stairs only to be followed by blackness as she passed out.

The last word she spoke was her lovers name in an attempt that maybe he would know she had tried to find her way back to him. "Jasper…"

000000000000000

The first thing Jasper did once he got outside was look for Alice. His eyes scanned the area searching for her tiny form. While he did catch sight of someone walking out of the woods it was not who had wanted to see, but for he would do. Striding right over to Edward Jasper grabbed him by the shirt and literally picked him up off the ground with a menacing look on his face. "What the fuck did you do?"

"What are you talking about?" Not wanting to be manhandled the bronze haired male brought his hands up to Jaspers shoulders and shoved him back landing on his feet when his adopted sibling dropped him. "I just got home. What the hell is your fucking problem?"

"My fucking problem is the fact that the house is on fire and I know you did it just like I know you were the one to set the kitchen on fire you sick fucking freak. Fuck!" He hollered turning back towards the house which was now practically entirely covered in flames. "Where is Alice? Has she come out yet?"

"What is she not with you?" Edward asked growing concerned. He had figured that the small girl found him-self so obsessed with had slipped out the back door or something. His bright green eyes "I just assumed she was with you!"

"Does it fucking look like she is with me?" Jasper screamed and starting running back towards the house with Edward hot on his heels. If it wasn't sure a dire situation he would beat the fuck out of the teen with copper, but right now was not the time for that. He had to get to Alice and quickly. "Hell she must still be inside the house! ALICE!"

Edward followed the scarred male in to the flames and was overcome with the feeling of being licked by an open flame even though technically the fire was nowhere near close enough to touch his bare skin. His eyes instantly watered as he tried to blink them clear. He let his gaze sweep over the entryway for signs of Alice. "I don't see her! We need to do a sweep of the rooms. You take the living room and I will try the kitchen. Maybe she got trapped trying to go out the backdoor or something."

Jasper nodded in agreement because right now he and Edward were on the same page. They needed to find Alice first and they could deal with everything else afterwards. Heading towards the living room he prayed to god that she would be there. Now he may not believe in god, but Alice did and if there was a good then he should protect Alice because she didn't deserve anything like this. Her life had been hard enough as it was and god owed her one. When he reached the smoke filling living room he caught sight of his little pixie lying motionless at the bottom of the stairs and her legs were bent at an odd angle.

"Alice!" He called out in horror as he made his way over to her. He crouched down beside her not sure if he should risk moving her not because he couldn't be sure she did not have spinal injuries of some sort. Her chest was moving as she breathed so that told him she was at least still alive and that this point he would take that for the miracle it was. Perhaps god was on their side after all. "Edward I found her!"

Before he had even finished calling for his adopted brother who he honestly believed to be a crazy person, was at his side looking as if he was going to try and lift Alice off the floor. "We need to get her out of here."

"If we move her without knowing the extent of her injuries we could permanently paralyze her you idiot!" He snapped hunching over his love protectively.

Edward shook his head in anger. "The place is going to come down any minute and if we stay here we will die so it won't matter if she is paralyzed will it because she will be dead! We can lift her together and try to keep her in the same position as best we can, but we have to do something."

"You did this to her in the first place and don't try to deny it because I wouldn't believe you anyways you sick bastard." The scarred male sighed deeply knowing that they really had no other choice than to try and move her. "Fine we can move her, but you take her feet and I swear to god if she is permanently damaged I will kill you myself."
