Title: Cut the Ropes
Author: LazyWerewolf
A/N: lol jk i lied :P I'm stuck at home today too. Thank god. I hate school. It took me so long to start this chapter. I know where I want to go, but not how to get there. It's gonna be tough. Stick with me though, this fic is gonna be the only one of its kind :) promise. And even though the decision to bring back Jasper caused some issues, it'll give Bella and Alice more time together :D but at the same time it'll cause some relationship problems. Angst FTW.
I know you're all secretly wondering. "Lazy, when's Alice and Bella's gonna bees togezzur?" That... Is what might make this fic lose some readers. Alice and Bella won't be together until after Jasper dies. Sorry. I know that might disappoint some of you :/ But I know where I'm headed with this. I want the two to fall in love naturally, plus some help with the whole new color thing :D
Hey, one more thing. If you have me on story alerts or on favorites, go down there and press review. I didn't want to beg, I just want some input. What do you like about this story, what do you hate, who do you want to punch through a wall... Anything. (I've given up on trying to get some people to stop saying "Great chapter, update soon" because no matter how many times I say it it'll always happen) good luck, and balls to you. (Anyone watch raywilliamjohnson?)
See you at teh bahtom.
Apathetic Empath
The blonde man's aura was a faint, navy blue lightning bolt. Imagine a thunderstorm, but from the ground up. That was what he looked like.
Jasper approached me and for the first time ever, took me in his arms and hugged me. "God forgive me, but I'm so happy to find you're not human anymore," he said in a light Southern drawl.
He stared at me from arm's length with a puzzled look on his features. "Bella, your emotions are all over the place... May I help you?"
He was right. My emotions were all over the place. I had happiness from seeing them, both of them, again. But mostly Alice. I'm not gonna lie. I was feeling anger. Lots of anger. A sort of envy. To what I had no clue. Fear, as my teeth started growing further, and my peripheral vision was beginning to fade into greyscale. And an intrusive wave of calm coming from the direction of the lightning bolt aura, which was slowly sending rays of blue at me.
"STOP MESSING WITH MY HEAD!" I stumbled backwards and landed on my ass. Jasper leaned over me, with a worried expression.
"I'm sorry, but you need to calm down. Your emotions are controlling you," he said in an attempt to calm me down.
Fuck yeah they are! My vision was fading into greyscale and I was beginning to experience waves of extreme heat crawling down my spine. I have to get out of here...
I leapt from rooftop to rooftop again at a speed far beyond human pace. The two vampires were following; I could feel it. I kept my pace and felt a brush of air at my side as I heard a wonderful bell-chime voice pleading with me.
"Bella! Please! Let Jasper help you!"
I roared and swiped an arm in her direction. The gust of air was gone. I felt the heat grow, and grow further until it was covering my whole body. Then, just as I was getting ahead of the two, I stopped.
I heard the familiar cracking of bones as the waves of pain rolled over me again. No... Please... Once is enough... The pain was quick this time. Once it attacked all of my skeletal system at once, it then latched onto my muscles, expanding them. I let out a wail of pain as once again, the fire spread itself over my skin.
"Bella!" A voice behind me screamed. It was obviously female, but it made no difference. This was the voice of my natural enemy. The enemy that could slay me with a single bite. I had to get away. I knew I still had not completed the change, but I could care less. My instincts were screaming at me to flee.
I took off at my werewolf speed, jumping over London's rooftops. My speed far outmatched the beings behind me. I smiled inwardly. It felt like victory, defeating my mortal enemy in a race. The voices behind me trailed off.
I felt like I was flying. Soon I forgot why I was even running, just that I was having the most fun I had ever experienced. My tongue lolled out of my mouth, and I let out a loud bark as I leaped over yet another rooftop.
She rolls up, jumps and lands yet another one! I silently cheered myself on. This part of being a werewolf I could get used to. I watched as cars unwittingly drove under my leap. There were thousands of people in London, and not one of them knew where or what I was! This encouraged me further.
I have to say that my confidence got the better of me on the next jump. I got ready for my biggest leap yet. Running full blast, I reared myself up on my hind legs and pushed myself off a ledge, the six lanes of cars below me still oblivious to my presence.
And then I smashed face first into a building.
The glass of the window shattered, and I lost my grip on the wall. I clawed at the stone of the building, hoping to find another hold, but nothing was there. The wall was slick.
I was falling downwards, rapidly approaching the traffic when I felt myself going up again.
What the fuck? I thrashed in the strong granite arms. Looking up, I found that I could not see my captor, but I could see a tower of blue below them. I heaved a sigh of relief. This vampire, no matter than he was my enemy, had proved himself to be an ally. I let him carry my weight up toward another rooftop, before I saw a wildfire of purple approaching rapidly. The flames could put the Chicago fire to shame.
"WHAT THE HELL WERE YOU THINKING, YOU STUPID DOG!"
I felt a sharp kick hit my ribs. I was thinking wolf, is what I was thinking, bitch. The two auras were both flickering. The two vampires took a sniff of the air, and both their heads snapped to attention as they stared off toward the two auras I had left far behind.
The ultraviolet aura was still glued to the same place it had been before. However, it seemed to curl onto itself in pain. It was accompanied by a huge, rampaging indigo lightning storm. The two vampires next to me seemed to take note of this, and they left me on the rooftop, alone, as they set off toward the mystery auras.
I sat myself up on my hands. What the fuck just happened? I felt like I just came off a high. My head hurt, my arms hurt, my legs hurt, everything hurt. My clothes were torn up, but I wasn't naked like the first time I phased. The moon peeked its way in between the clouds, lighting the grayness of the surrounding cityscape.
I had no idea where I was, and I was alone on a rooftop in a city I had never visited before in my life. This was great.
I looked off to the ultraviolet color, finding that it and the blue lightning storm had been confronted by the purple flame. The size of the first two auras paled in comparison with the fire. The goddamn thing took up half the night sky! Rosalie could light the city on fire. The cyan tower that stationed itself next to her took a sharp turn to the left, and started moving in my direction.
Not that I cared much. I just leaned back down on the concrete roof. I watched the peculiar yellowish mystery aura curl into itself as the purple flames covered more and more of my field of vision. Soon, the silent hum of the crickets and cars drove me to sleep, but not before I felt a pair of capable arms wrap around me.
~0o0~
"I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU!"
I got up abruptly as a male voice broke my sleep. The argument was coming from the living room to our apartment. Embry was mad. Very mad.
"YOU BROUGHT ACTUAL BLOODSUCKING BLOODSUCKERS TO OUR HOUSE AND YOU EXPECT ME NOT TO REACT!"
I heard a small, shy bell chime voice in the mix. "It's actually an apartment..."
"Shut up Alice! You're not helping! I can't believe you started feeding on humans again!"
The auras were not visible through the walls, but I'm sure Rosalie's purple fire would have burned through all else.
A Southern drawl spoke up. "Don't you talk to my girl like that," it spoke sharply and angrily.
For some reason this pulled a heartstring. I was about to tell them to quiet down when a yawn escaped my lips. The door instantly opened, revealing Alice a few steps from the bed.
"Bella!" She screamed, much too loudly. She pounced on the bed, kneeling beside me and hugging my neck. I hugged back with one arm, seeing as how she was sitting on the other.
"H...Hey, Ali-cat," I managed to put out some words. She gasped, and hugged me even tighter, putting unnecessary strain on the arm she had pinned down.
Ow.
"Ouch..." I grumbled. She didn't seem to hear as she started yelling out random words.
"Bella! Edward and Carlisle, the bones cracking, me and Jasper with the, and the wolf thing," she was spouting out words like crazy. She put even more pressure on my arm, causing it to fracture.
"Ow! Goddamnit, Alice you broke my arm! FUCK!" I yelled as she got off of the bed. I felt the familiar stings of the bones instantly repairing themselves. Jasper appeared at the doorway, chuckling.
"Spoken like a true lady," he said, laughing and making his way over to Alice, who was standing next to the bed. This blonde vampire was out to get me.
"Shut up, Colonel Bloodsucker," I growled from the bed. Alice giggled at the name. She pinched Jasper's arm.
"Yeah, Colonel. You're not helping," she giggled and scrunched up her nose. Little pixie's adorable.
"You think this is funny?" Emmett burst through the doorway and slammed the door shut. Rosalie didn't attempt to open it; she just walked right through the wood like it was nothing. Splinters flew everywhere. She was stepping so hard that her stilettos left indents in the floorboards.
"I can't believe that you would be so irresponsible!" She growled. She took her place next to Emmett by the side of my bed, opposite to where Alice and Jasper were standing.
I saw Embry staring at the hole in the doorway. He mouthed "What the hell" while pointing at the Rosalie shaped hole that went through the edges of the door. I looked at him and mouthed "Rosalie" before he attempted to make his way through.
"I can't believe we trusted you!" he said once he crawled his way through the Rosalie sized hole in the door. "You said you didn't feed on humans!" he walked over to where Emmett and Rosalie stood.
"I can't believe WE trusted YOU!" Alice screamed at him. She jabbed a finger in Emmett, Rosalie and Embry's direction. "YOU were supposed to keep Bella safe. YOU were supposed to make sure she didn't die. YOU were supposed to make sure she stayed human. LOOK AT HER! DOES SHE LOOK HUMAN TO YOU?"
Emmett looked down in shame. Rosalie, however, just took a death glare and scowled at the shorter girl. "You joined Carlisle for a reason. You wanted to stop hurting humans, and save what little humanity you had left. You and Jasper made a pact with the coven, saying that you would hunt from animals instead of humans. You have NO EXCUSE FOR FEEDING ON THEM!"
I looked on. Apparently I was the boundary line for the two groups. Alice and Jasper stood on the left side of the bed, while Emmett, Rosalie and Embry stood on the right. It kind of made me feel important, like I was the diplomat helping resolve some sort of feud between two countries. I smiled inwardly.
It had come to my attention that after large periods of sleep after phasing, I turned back to normal. I mean, not normal enough to leave the apartment, but normal enough to get my voice and human features back. I bet my eyes were still yellow, and my teeth were still pointy. I sure as hell knew that my nails haven't gone back to normal because I was tearing holes in the sheets. If I had to guess, I would have said that I was about an inch or so taller than I had been yesterday. It looked like I was nearing Rosalie's height. I shifted a little on the bed, lifting myself up on my elbows. Alice looked my way and grabbed my hand.
"Bella...I'm so, so sorry," Alice looked at me with a torn expression. If she could cry, I knew she would've broken down, then and there. But then I took into account the color of her eyes. They were a deep burgundy. She had been feeding on humans.
I gently wrenched my hand away, and saw her lip quiver. "Alice, how could you? I thought you weren't like that," I said softly. I didn't want her to be like that. I really didn't.
Jasper gently placed a hand on Alice's shoulders, pulling her toward his chest. He looked at me with a disgusted expression, and did the same to the other vampires and the half-wolf.
"That's enough. You may want to deny it, but we're not humans. We're monsters. All of us. No matter what you say, no matter what you do, no matter how hard you try to control it, there will always be that bloodlust inside you. It's only a matter of time before you too, give up. We have to leave, Alice," He took her hand and turned to walk out of what was left of the door, but Alice didn't budge.
Alice shook her head no when Jasper turned to walk out. She grabbed my hand again and pressed her back against the wall. Jasper looked sad, but his expression turned to anger.
"I'm going hunting," He said. Emmett and Rosalie simultaneously hissed, and Embry stepped up to him and growled.
"I am still under grounds to protect humans, even this far away from my pack," Embry looked menacing.
"You sure as hell aren't going hunting. Not alone. I'm going with you. There's a large forest a few miles out," Rosalie approached Jasper as well.
The blonde haired vampire knew he was outmatched. Two vampires and a Quileute werewolf could tear him apart in an instant, even with his knowledge and experience. He looked to Alice again, who was still clutching my hand in a death grip. Jasper knew that he had to comply, because if not, he would be torn up. He sighed in defeat, and walked out the destroyed door with Rosalie. Emmett followed.
This left Embry, Alice and I in my room. Alice turned to face me.
"Bella...What happened?" She was staring at my huge, very obvious bite mark. I was wearing only a grey tank top. I cursed myself for not wearing something that covered it up better.
"Werewolf happened," I responded. I knew it was probably around the early afternoon from the position of the sun. Alice was still holding on to my hand, rubbing circles with her thumb. Embry looked at Alice like he would look at a monster.
"Murderer," He hissed before he made his way out of the room.
Alice looked broken. She sat down on the edge of the bed. I felt as though I probably shouldn't be comforting her, mainly because the more rational side of me said that she was a murderer and that she should feel guilty. But the other part of me died seeing the ultraviolet aura curl around Alice in a protective cocoon. I know I shouldn't be doing this but, what the hell... I sat up further in the bed and gently pulled her into my chest. She started doing her weird vampire sobs and she curled her head under my chin.
"...I'm sorry. I shouldn't have ever stopped feeding from animals," She said. Her aura gently held me as I wrapped my arms around her back.
"I'm not gonna lie. I think it's wrong. I kind of want to know why," I said. I wasn't about to lie to her. She deserved much better than that.
She sighed into my neck. "I stopped because... I'm not quite sure why. I was just really thirsty. I didn't know what else to do. Jasper said it was okay. I just..." She stopped then. She was clutching the edges of my shirt like a lifeline. This felt...Right. I couldn't remember feeling like this before. Maybe it was just circumstance.
We sat like that for a while, her cold seeping through the blankets and cooling down my body. I forgot that I was at least part human, but I didn't want to ruin the moment, so I lifted the covers and wrapped them around Alice. She looked up at me, curious as to what I was doing.
"Um... Human moment. Gimme five minutes."
She nodded in understanding as I lifted myself up and examined the remnants of the door. I reached for the doorknob and pulled. The door fell off its hinges and hit the floor with a loud crash. Alice burst into a fit of giggles behind me. I was happy she was happy.
I took care of my human business, brushing my teeth as well. My eyes were a startling bright yellow color again. Damnit. Stuck at home again.
I left the bathroom and down the hallway to see Alice cuddling into my covers, rolling around in my bed like a puppy. I laughed as she looked up. Her aura was curled around my covers as well. Her hair was pointing in all different directions, looking ridiculously disheveled. She had the cutest pout on her face ever. I almost didn't catch her blur over to my side, latching onto my elbow for support she didn't need.
She had my iPod in her right hand, and Emmett's large pair of "Beats" would have swallowed her head whole had she not adjusted them. She was humming a song by Radiohead. Her ultraviolet aura danced around her in a slow pattern. It had a slow, melodious tune, but her voice made it sound much better than the original. I knew her humming was several octaves higher than the voice, but it was still much better than the original. Much, much better.
I walked over to the kitchen, catching Embry watching TV. I was really, really hungry. My stomach agreed with me as it let out a roar. Alice giggled. She perched herself on the counter, and watched as I swallowed half a frozen pizza in a matter of seconds.
Alice's humming changed. Her humming was switching on and off between the Viva la Vida riff and Lady Gaga's Bad Romance. I had no clue what song she was listening to. I was sort of curious though, so...
"What're you—"
"Lady Gaga versus Coldplay electro remix," she promptly replied before I could finish. I huffed.
"I thought that—"
"No, my visions don't work with Quileute. But they work perfectly with you," She clearly stated.
"...H—"
"I don't know why."
This little pixie is pissing me off. "Could you let me—"
"Sure Bella! Of course I'll let you get a word in!" She giggled like crazy, scrunching up her nose. I rolled my eyes at her, and I moved to lean on the counter next to her.
"What brings you to—"
"London? Oh, well, I knew I had never visited London before, and I also knew..." She thought about how to phrase what she was going to say. "...the others could never visit here, so I just... yeah..." This was the first time I had ever seen Alice at a loss for words.
"Are you going to—"
"Yes. I don't want to drink from humans any more. It made me feel terrible; the way Emmett and Rose looked at me back there. I'm gonna go back to being vegetarian."
"I'm glad."
She smiled softly. "I don't know about Jazz, though. I think maybe he's lost control."
"'S okay. 'S not your fault."
Alice wrapped her arm around my neck and leaned on my head. She was only a bit taller than me sitting on the counter, so she used me as an armrest. "Thanks, Bells."
"So, how long will—"
"I be staying? As long as possible. I think, if Rose and Em will have me, I would stay here with you," She said. Just then, Emmett burst through the door and ran over to pick Alice up into a hug.
"YES! YES YES! STAY, PLEAAAAASE!" He yelled into her, as he picked her up and twirled her...several hundred times, I believe.
Alice was laughing as hard as she could with Emmett spinning her around. Rosalie entered soon after, crashing into Emmett and Alice.
"Oh my god! Yes! You can stay with us forever! We missed you so much!" Emmett grabbed Rosalie's shirt and started spinning her along with Alice.
I watched the display of affection from a safe distance. Embry had joined me in the kitchen. He was also a safe distance, but looked like he wanted to approach.
Jasper blurred into the room, not wanting to get into the Emmett tornado. "Emmett, I think Embry might have something to say," He chuckled.
Emmett skillfully let go of Alice and sent her flying into Jasper, and the two crimson eyed vampires shared a chaste kiss. I felt something bubble up inside me, but I had no idea what.
Embry approached the two vampires carefully, probably wanting to make peace. He spoke up once Alice let go of Jasper.
"I'm sorry I didn't get to introduce myself. I blame my temper. My name is Embry Call. Nice to meet you," He held his hand out, but Alice ignored it and wrapped her arms around his neck. He looked a bit tense at first, but then he visibly loosened up.
Alice stepped back and took his hand again. "Alice Brandon. Nice to meet you," She smiled. Rosalie and Emmett's jaws dropped.
"You mean..."
"No way..."
"But I thought..."
"You couldn't..."
Alice smiled widely. "Yup! I found records of myself in a hospital in Biloxi, Mississippi. Er, well, not really a hospital, actually... A mental facility..."
Emmett boomed with laughter. "I can't believe it! I knew you were a freak!"
Rosalie chuckled. "That was pretty obvious beforehand, though."
Alice was still wearing Emmett's exceedingly large pair of "Beats". She started humming a tune from U2. Emmett took notice of her headgear, wrenching the huge headphones from her ears.
"HEY! NO!" Emmett screamed. He was acting like a possessive little child.
Alice's soprano peals of laughter joined Rosalie's flutelike tenor and Jasper's baritone laughs. The auras of the room were all dancing, Alice's whipping around, Rosalie's flickering delightedly, and Jasper's shooting small bolts of lightning in different directions. Emmett's blue tower aura spun around happily, clearly content in having made his siblings laugh.
Embry and I, the only werewolves in the room, felt a bit uncomfortable. These were our natural enemies, and here we were, pretending to be best friends with them. Well, one of them may be my best friend, but that was beside the point.
Embry was getting tired of the family reunion he didn't understand. "Em! COD. Now."
Emmett laughed again. "Let's go, bitch."
"You're on, leech."
Embry looked to Jasper. "Wanna play with the big boys?"
Jasper looked to Emmett, who was making exceedingly large "come hither" gestures, which made Alice laugh quietly into my shoulder. Jasper let himself smile. "A war game? You'll be sorry, mutt."
The boys zoomed over to the couch and set up COD. I found myself sort of itching to join them, especially when there was a new person to play with. I let myself have my fun.
"Plug in another controller. I'll kill you all," I said. I ran over to the last available chair as I heard loud peals of laughter coming from the kitchen.
~0o0~
Nearly four hours later, the buttons were still being pushed. I was lying on my back on the floor, with Alice sitting next to me, playing with my hair. Jasper and Emmett were on the couch, and Embry was on the floor as well, sitting Indian style. We had split the four of us into "Team Bloodsucker" and "Team Mutt". The two male vampires had one win total over Embry and I.
The both of us simultaneously yawned, seeing as how we hadn't slept for almost a day or so.
Emmett grinned viciously. "Aw, do the widdle doggwies need theiwe sweep?"
"Shut it, Emmett," Alice said from next to me. "They're human, they need sleep."
I looked at her and raised an eyebrow. "Why thank you, but if you think that I'm human, then obviously your logic is flawed."
Alice grinned. "Would you whather be a widdle doggwie?"
The whole room burst into laughter, and I swiftly got up and unplugged the controller, pitching it at Emmett's head. He dodged it and raised his own.
"CONTROLLER FIIIIIIIGGGHHT!" Rosalie grabbed the controller that Emmett was about to throw, just as he leaned forward. He lost his balance and fell face-first into the coffee table, shattering the fragile piece of glass. More laughter erupted from the people surrounding him. Mostly from the little vampire that was still playing with my hair.
"Shut up. Let the mutts get some sleep. We need to go shopping anyway. You two," Emmett pointed to Embry and I. "Have eaten six pizzas each in two days. And room service has refused to give us any more."
Jasper laughed. "Damn. Six each? But those things are fucking huge!" Jasper's Southern drawl had almost completely disappeared.
"Yeah. We're leaving," Rosalie said from the open doorway. "Now."
Emmett whined. "But Rose, baby can you give me five more minutes to—" Rosalie zoomed over and grabbed Emmett by the ear.
"I said NOW."
I laughed loudly. "Damn. Em you're whipped!"
The pair had already made their way out the door after Emmett flicked me off.
Embry let out a huge yawn, and made his way toward the bathroom. Five minutes later, he exited, and bid everyone goodnight. I myself made my way to the bathroom, careful to look for signs that could help me control my... special condition in the future. I found my features much more humanized. My irises were a dull gold color, and my canines were still sharp, but not too large.
I was examining my face when I heard some voices coming from the living room. If I focused hard enough, I could hear the male voice of Jasper arguing with Alice.
"They won't notice..." He said, trying to comfort her.
"It doesn't matter if they notice or not, what matters is that you're killing people!"
"Nobody will notice, I promise..."
"Please...Don't..."
"Don't worry, I promise I won't do it. I'll go hunt animals."
There was a slight pause in the conversation, before I heard Alice whisper something so quietly, that if I hadn't been listening so intently I would have missed it.
"You're lying..."
This got me riled up. I ran out of the bathroom and zoomed at an inhuman pace toward Jasper, grabbing his neck with my right hand. He looked completely surprised. I squeezed his throat with my hand, not caring if he got hurt. I spoke slowly and clearly, so there was no reason for him not to get my message.
"If you come back here and your eyes are still red, I'll rip you apart," I said. I put even more pressure on his throat until the granite skin below my fingers began to crack. The spider web pattern spread around my fingers, and I had all but crushed him when I let go. His skin quickly reassembled itself.
"Understood." Jasper flew out the window without a sound. I felt angry. Very angry. Stupid bloodsucker doesn't know who he's messing with.
I turned around quickly. I immediately regretted my decision of hurting Jasper. Alice stood a few feet away from me, a pained expression gracing her angelic features. I didn't want her to hurt like that. I blinked rapidly before I allowed myself some words.
"I-I never meant for it to get out of hand," I tried to explain myself. She didn't answer for a few seconds, and then she whispered something.
"I know. I would have seen it."
"...I'm sorry."
She shook her head. "Don't be. Anyone else would have done the same," She said quietly.
I ran my hand through my hair and walked down the hallway, straight into my room. It no longer had a door. I got under the covers and hit the light switch. Then I heard a small voice coming from the side of the bed.
"...Can I join you?" Alice seemed kind of upset.
"...I thought you couldn't sleep." That was the first complete sentence she let me get away with.
"I like to pretend."
I flipped the blankets open, leaving room for her to get in. "Hop in."
She quickly got in the covers and curled into my chest. The ultraviolet aura curled itself around the two of us, giving me warmth despite her cold.
Alice giggled. "You're not bothered by this at all? You're sleeping with a vampire."
I shrugged as best I could with the covers around me. "I just had the most painful moment of my life two days ago. I crashed into a building and played Call of Duty with two vampires and another werewolf. Not a whole lot of things can bother me anymore."
She giggled. "That was you? I thought that was a bomb or something."
"Nope. That was me. I miscalculated the jump," I said.
She took the covers and wrapped us both. "Good night Bella."
"Night." It looked as though she didn't receive the response because she had her eyes closed and was breathing steadily. If I hadn't known that her kind couldn't sleep, then I would have probably guessed she was out cold. "I know you're not sleeping, Alice."
She smiled. "I like to pretend."
Nother A/N: Just a bit of fluff there. I really meant that this was just gonna be a filler chapter. Next chapter is more Alice and Bella fluff, where Alice takes Bella shopping. And then Mr. Black Pyramid ruins it all :) MWAHAHAHAHAHA! I hope this fic isn't moving too fast. I know how people like to stretch things out. Have any of you guys seen 24? Yeah, that's what I mean by stretching it out. I cried when Jack Bauer died.
Soooo many song references in this chapter! Let's start at square one (another reference. Square One by Coldplay is the song for today) The first song mentioned (the one Alice was humming when Bella came out of the bathroom) is High and Dry by Radiohead. The second song mentioned (Alice on the kitchen counter) is Lady Gaga vs Coldplay - Viva La Vida Bad Romance. The last song Alice hums is With or Without you, by U2. Fic for today is all of the 51 Things Emmett Cullen Should Remember saga by "the indifferent child of earth". Thanks man. You gave me four hours worth of laughs.
Thanks to everyone who reviewed. Also big thanks to anyone who put this under story alerts. Thanks. Next chapter has more action in it. Bella gets kidnapped ^^. Anyone else think Jasper is an on and off jackass? Well, you shouldn't. I had always liked Jasper in the books, but his control was too poor to let him make proper decisions. I actually like Jasper. I think Edward is a huge jackass though.
Cheers,
The Lazy Werewolf
