3rd Person POV
''You can't do that, it's cheating!'' Alice cries at the 3 boys playing cards with her on the sofa. She throws her deck down in annoyance at them.
''Just because we don't play by the rules doesn't mean we can't play the game...'', Jasper mumbles sarcastically.
''That is precisely what it means boys,'' Esme shouts from the kitchen a few feet away preparing dinner with Rosalie. Bella's parents were stopping in and they ate human food. They were preparing steaks to be grilled. Alice gets a weird feeling, and whispers ,''Play the game..''
Her porcelain head snaps up and looks Jasper in the eyes. The family can sense by now that she's getting a vision. They turn their uneasy attention to her, waiting for her to speak. Jasper gets the most uneasy waiting for her response, because has come to discover that he can't feel, or manipulate Alice's emotions at all while she receives her visions.
Alice's pale hands grip the are white as snow,she doesn't speak,only stares into Jasper's golden eyes.
Edward speaks,''I can't read her...'' The room grows a heightened sense of twists around them like suffocating vines. All they can do is what they've done all their lives. Wait.
''She's never taken this long before..'' Esme says, rushing over to her daughter on the chair.
''It's been over 10 minutes now..'' Rosalie says impatiently.
Suddenly the grill on the deck catches flame.
''The steaks!'' Edward screams with his mind to the moves an inch. Carlisle walks into view with a fire extinguisher,''I've got it just stay there.''He makes his way to the burning meat.
Alice's eyes dart to the grill.''She's 's tortured...''
Rosalie takes Alice's icy hands as they begin to tremble. Jasper couldn't feel her, but he knew she was absolutely 'd never seen her like this.
''Alice, speak to us. What do you see?''Rose begs her.
She slowly starts to regain regular thought and control and collects herself to address everyone.''I'm not sure exactly. There was a girl. She was being held by was torturing her. They would burn and beat her for answers.''
''Answers to what?''Emmett asks.
''I don't know, something about her. Who she would become...her future offspring..They're Vampire hunters.''Alice says sharply.
''But how would they know her future?'' Bells questions from next to Edward.
''Because they're supernatural like us. They call themselves the Dark Ones. Vampires supposedly eradicated them thousands of years ago. The untamed, and Volturi weren't our only threats..'' Carlisle states, joining the coven on the couches.
''So what can they do? What are they?'' Alice asks quickly, as if she doesn't already talk fast.
''They can kill us, our kind just as easily as anything else. Their speed and agility match our own. They are strong like us. They have beating hearts, they appear human, but are indistinctly evil. Their souls are dark to the something could wipe us out they could..'' Esme mutters, standing up again.
Edward trails behind her,''It makes sense, they have human blood, it attracts us.''
Emmett offers a rebuttle,''Yeah, for those who drink it...''
''They can still kill us, they are hunters afterall...'' Jasper voices, turning his attention bake to Alice . She looks uneasy again. Jasper places his firm hands on hers and says,''Alice it's okay, please try.'' He sends a wave of calmness and security over smiles timidly.
''It looked like an abandoned factory were tall willow trees in the front and an antique car shop just across the lot..'' She rubs her temples vigorously.
Edwards pipes up enthusiastically.''I used to work there, it's the abandoned textile mill from the early 1900s, downtown.'' Jasper tenses up involuntarily . He glares at his brother for being so apologizes.
''You know I'm just trying to help Jas..'' He mind links Jasper.
Jasper nods, staying knows this involves his somehow, and he wants to help. Edward returns to the half cooked meat.
''Alice when are they coming for us?'' Carlisle asks her calmly. He is barely shaken by is an eerie silence as she complies she jumbled thoughts to answer the blonde. Worry lines appear on her blemish free face.
''That's just it. They aren't. Not yet.''
''Well, what are we supposed to do then? Wait to die?'' Rosalie shouts, getting worked up.
Jasper looks at her cooly. He senses her angst that begins to fuel his is immediately calmed by him.
''No, we fight! We have the element of surprise. We'd be fools to waste it.'' Emmett proposes with a smirk.
Carlisle nods his head to the left to look at Jasper. He knows that The Major has the most tactical experience out of all of murmurs a few words to himself calculating their chances.
''We will be hurt either way, but our best bet is invasion.'' His Texan accent lingers in the air.
The Coven looks at eachother in shock.
''So what are we now? Seal Team 6?''Rosalie protests. Edward sends her a sneers back at him.
Jasper could feel everyone's emotions, and the Vampires all had one centeral emotion; fear. Most people think Vampires don't fell anything at all. Love. Hate. Lust. Every Vampire in the room had once thought of themselves as emotionless monsters at one time.
Over time, they came to discover that their humanity was always apart of them,even after death. Being a Vampire was emotion 10 fold. So he sent calmness to his family,while he alone took on the fear.
''We train at dawn...'' Jasper growled.
