"You can't do this." Alice screamed as she paced down the hall between Jasper and Emmett's rooms. "This is crazy. It's completely unnecessary."
"This is exactly what has to be done, Alice." Jasper spat back from the doorway of Emmett's room. "He can't make the promise, then how will our family ever be safe?"
"If he's dead, we'll be safe." Emmett cackled from inside the room.
Alice threw her hands up in the air and stormed off down the hall. She ran down a flight of stairs and stormed into Carlisle's office. He sat behind a large, brown desk with his head in his hands. She could tell he was just as upset with the others' decision as she was. All she could do was hope that he'd make the choice to talk them out of their attack.
"Carlisle, we have to do something. We have to stop this." Alice pleaded.
"Actually, I think this is best." Carlisle shook his head. It wasn't what he wanted for his family but he felt it was the only way they could all be safe again. "I've given my permission for them to go to Port Angeles tonight."
"Why?" Alice stammered. "Why would you condemn Adrian to death? He's never even attempted to touch one of us. Never."
"Not yet, Alice." Carlisle walked around to the front of his desk to place his arm around her shoulder. "But he will. He feels betrayed, he will attack soon."
Alice ran from Carlisle's office and down to the garage. She climbed into her yellow Porsche and started the engine. She couldn't believe the way her family was behaving. She couldn't believe they'd choose to murder someone without as much as a second thought. Well, Alice thought, I'll have to warn Adrian before they get to him. I'll have to convince him to leave before they find him. Alice drove at top speed to Port Angeles, hoping she'd make it before he'd done anything rash.
"We've got to stop Alice." Edward informed Carlisle. "She's gone to Port Angeles. She's gone to warn him."
"Send Jasper ahead to find her." Carlisle sighed. "Do not attack until she's safe."
