"I'll kill him!" Jasper growled nastily and had already taken a step towards Edward when Rosalie stepped into his path. "Get out of my way Rose!"

"Jazz, no," Rosalie whispered. "You'll get yourself into trouble."

"It'll be worth it," Jasper snarled angrily.

"Jazz, Rissa needs you," Rosalie sighed and Jasper turned to look at Larissa and gasped when he saw how white she had gone and how badly she was shaking.

"Rissa, I am right here, he cannot hurt you," Jasper said quickly as he raced to her side and pulled her into his arms. She crumbled into him and buried her face on his chest and he looked over and glared at Edward when he noticed him watching them.

"Jazz, can you watch Rose and Rissa for me?" Emmett asked quickly.

"Emmett, don't start anything with him," Rosalie begged.

"I'm not," Emmett promised. "I just don't want Allie wandering around on her own while he is here."

"Oh, of course not," Rosalie gasped.

"Stay with Jazz and Rissa," Emmett said firmly and turned and walked off and Rosalie moved closer to Jasper and Larissa as Larissa continued to snuggle into the safety of Jasper's arms. They watched Emmett as he walked off and disappeared into the house. Edward shrugged his shoulders and walked off with his parents and disappeared over to where the tables of food were set up and Rosalie noticed that Larissa didn't step out of Jasper's arms until Edward was out of sight.

Alice skipping down the back stairs happily, her path leading straight towards where Edward was standing as his parents spoke to some friends nearby. As Alice landed on the ground after jumping from the bottom step she was oblivious to the newest arrival at the party or her friends' concern. She reached up and pushed her hair back from her face as she glanced around the party and she stopped cold when her eyes locked with Edward's.

"Hey Allie," Edward smirked as he quickly covered the distance between them.

"Edward," Alice whispered. "Emmett didn't think you would come."

"My parents made me," Edward shrugged. "Maybe you and I could sneak off?"

"I don't think that's a good idea," Alice murmured.

"We could have some fun Allie," Edward grinned. "Don't you want to have fun with me anymore?"

"You said some pretty horrid things to me," Alice whispered.

"I didn't mean them Allie," Edward assured her. "We had some great times together. Why should we stop that now the others are together? Come out in the forest with me Allie, no one will even notice."

"Umm, I don't think it's a good idea," Alice murmured again as she glanced around the crowd but she couldn't see any of her friends.

"Allie, I need you," Edward whined as he reached over and placed his hands on her arms. "Come on, it isn't anything we haven't done before. Don't you want to make me happy?" His words twigged something in Alice, something he knew it would and she let out a sigh as his hands tightened on her arms.

"Come on Allie, I need you," Edward whispered and Alice nodded her head slowly. Edward grinned and kept a firm grip on her arm as he turned and began to lead her through the crowd.

Emmett walked into the kitchen and sighed when he saw only his mother and Gabriel standing at the counter.

"Can I get you something Emmett?" Olivia asked happily.

"Nah Mom," Emmett shrugged. "I'm just looking for Allie."

"I think she went outside," Olivia murmured as she picked up a tray of food and smiled at her son. "Are you having a good time baby?"

"Yeah Mom, thanks for this," Emmett nodded.

"You're welcome son," Olivia smiled and drifted out of the room.

"Why you looking for Allie?" Gabriel asked as soon as their mother had left the room.

"The Masens just turned up," Emmett growled. "And Edward is with them!"

"What?" Gabriel gasped and slammed down the container in his hand. "Well, where is Allie?"

"That's what I was doing," Emmett reminded his brother, wondering if Gabriel had been drinking. "I can't find her."

"Well we have to find her, now!" Gabriel said firmly as he rushed around the counter. "If that prick even looks at her again I'll kill him." Emmett shot his brother a strange look, not sure what was going on his head but he knew right then the most important thing was to find Alice.

Jasper was standing with his arm still around Larissa with Rosalie standing close to them when he noticed Emmett and Gabriel rushing from the house. He frowned as they raced over towards them and they came to a stop right in front of the group.

"Have you guys seen Allie?" Emmett asked as Gabriel looked around wildly.

"Not out here, I thought you were looking for her," Jasper frowned.

"We are," Gabriel snapped but before he could say more Edward's parents walked up to the group.

"Emmett, happy birthday!" Edward's mother, Lynne, smiled.

"Eighteen is a milestone these days," Edward's father, Aaron, added. "Congratulations son."

"Thank you," Emmett nodded, not wanting to be rude when they were still his parents' best friends even after what their son had done.

"Have you seen Emmett's friend Alice?" Gabriel asked outright.

"Yes," Lynne nodded with a grin. "Edward went off with her before."

"Is there something between Edward and that young lady?" Aaron asked cheekily.

"Definitely not!" Gabriel snarled and shoved past them.

"Sorry, we need to find Allie," Emmett murmured and followed his brother and Jasper, Larissa and Rosalie hurried after him.

"If he touches a hair on her head I'll kill him," Gabriel was muttering as the group all shoved through the crowd, trying desperately to find Alice.

As Edward pulled Alice towards the trees behind the back yard she seemed to snap out of her haze and she tried to pull her hand out of his.

"What's wrong Allie?" Edward asked as he spun to face her.

"I don't want to go with you," Alice said firmly and glanced back at the party behind them.

"I really don't give a shit what you want," Edward snapped.

"Then let me go!" Alice gasped.

"No, I might think you're a slut and a whore but at least you're good at what you do," Edward sneered. "I haven't got laid since I was last with you, unless you count Larissa and all she did was struggle and cry. That was hardly fulfilling. I just want to fuck you Alice."

"No!" Alice yelled as she tried fruitlessly to pull out of his grasp.

"Hey, leave her alone!" a voice screamed and Edward turned in panic but almost started laughing when he saw Emmett's youngest brother Michael running towards them.

"Leave Allie alone!" Michael demanded as he reached them and he grabbed Alice's other arm but Edward quickly pulled Alice away from him.

"Get lost kid," Edward snarled.

"No!" Michael yelled and turned back to the party. "Christian? Kyle? Gabe? Emmett? Tony?" No one seemed to hear him for a moment and then suddenly Edward's eyes locked on Emmett's oldest brother storming towards them, Tony's face a mask of fury as he took in what was happening and he understood much more than Michael did about Edward's intentions towards Alice.

"Let her go!" Tony roared as he reached them and he grabbed Alice with one hand and pulled her safely to his side, his other arm pushing his baby brother behind him as well.

"Allie and I were just going to catch up," Edward mumbled.

"Yeah, sure you were," Tony snarled and as if some secret sign had gone out suddenly Kyle, Christian, Gabriel, Emmett, Jasper, Larissa and Rosalie all rushed towards the group.

"Allie?" Rosalie gasped and raced to her side.

"I'm okay," Alice whispered as Rosalie pulled her into her arms.

"And she will stay that way!" Tony growled. "Because if you ever, ever touch her again Edward you will answer to me."

"What is she to you?" Edward asked.

"That is none of your business," Tony growled as he stepped closer to the younger boy. "But I'll explain it so you know how serious I am. Allie is like a little sister to me. Can you imagine how much pain I would inflict on any man that touched Emily if she was still alive? Allie has been through a lot so double that. And I know for a fact that she has the rest of my brothers as well as Jasper on her side too. Touch Allie again and you'll pay Edward, I promise."

"Big time," Gabriel snarled as he stepped closer to them and glared at Edward himself.

"And that goes for Rosie too," Tony added and Rosalie let out a gasp. "I know what you nearly did to her you sick freak. She is as much a McCarty as Allie is now, hurt either of them and we'll all come after you."

Edward nodded his head slowly and took a step back from the group and as he did his eyes locked on Larissa. She gave a gasp and cringed into Jasper and he quickly moved his arms around her protectively.

"And Larissa too," Jasper growled. "The only reason I'm not tearing you limb from limb is out of respect for Emmett's parents. I will come after you for what you did to Rissa though Edward, I promise. Try it again and I'll do more than just hurt you."

"She isn't that great anyway," Edward smirked cockily.

"Oh God," Larissa gasped and felt Jasper move beside her. "Jazz, no!"

Jasper lunged towards Edward and the smack of his fist on Edward's jaw filled the air as Emmett and Gabriel both raced towards them and grabbed Jasper, trying desperately to pull them apart. It took a decent struggle, and Kyle had to step in to help pull Jasper off Edward, but finally the two men were separated.

"I suggest you leave," Tony snarled as he glared at Edward. Edward jumped to his feet and without looking at any of them he slinked off back towards the party, leaving the group alone.

They all stood together for a moment in silence and when a sob filled the air Jasper's head snapped to Larissa and he groaned when he saw the tears pouring down her face. He pulled out of Kyle and Emmett's grip and rushed over to envelope her in his arms as she sobbed against his chest.

"What did Edward do to Rose and Rissa?" Alice whispered as she looked at Jasper and Larissa before turning her huge eyes to look at Rosalie who was still standing with her arm protectively around Alice's shoulders.

"He tried to rape Rose," Emmett sighed.

"And he raped Rissa," Jasper murmured, his voice etched in pain as he held Larissa close.

"Oh God," Alice gasped. "Why didn't you tell me?"

"You were dealing with enough," Rosalie sighed. "We didn't want to make things worse for you."

"What a prick!" Gabriel growled, but he couldn't help but feel relief that Alice hadn't been attacked or raped by Edward.

"He'll get his," Emmett snarled.

"You should report him," Tony said firmly.

"No, I just want to forget it," Larissa murmured.

"He shouldn't be allowed to get away with it," Tony sighed.

"He won't," Jasper growled. "One day I'll finish what I started today." Without another word he turned and led Larissa away from the rest of the group and Tony sighed and turned his attention back to Alice.

"You okay Allie?" he murmured as he stepped closer to her.

"Yeah I am," Alice smiled. "Thank you, all of you."

"Anything for our little sister," Tony grinned and Emmett, Kyle, Christian and Michael all nodded their heads in agreement although Gabriel couldn't, knowing the feelings he had for Alice were a lot more than just a sister.
