Alice POV
Before we started the climb up into one of the large rooms high in the trees, Zaphrina turned and her sisters turned with her they were all connected with Senna touching Zaphrina's back and Kachiri touching Senna's left arm. In the same instant my eyes went blurry a haze covering them. Seconds later Jasper pulled me tight into his side with his arm tucked around my hip. I knew what Zaphrina would do…
Jasper roared in my ear, "Alice… DO NOT OPEN YOUR EYES!" But it was too late I had already seen the image manifested in my mind. It didn't scare me and I knew it would be okay, with Jazz here with me. So, I did open my eyes – But I clutched Jasper's chest feeling like a child or a scared thirsty newborn. We were in a cold dark room with grey stone walls, a small black cot in the corners with straps attached to it. The ceiling leaked, I could smell must and mold in the air. There was not a window but it was just dark enough to know it was night outside the room. Screams came from outside the wooden and steel door which was bolted to the wall. No way of escape… I was back in the asylum.
"This isn't necessary Zaphrina!" Jasper growled in protest. I opened my mouth but could not speak.
"You are here forrr Carlisssle's sake then, and nooo other?" Her words were slow and deliberate.
"Yes, for his family's sake!" Jasper clenched me tighter, almost whispering the last word.
"Wellll then, I think… I believe you; we mussst take precautions." Then the mirage dissipated and we were back in the jungle the sounds of the birds and water running loud in our ears.
Jasper released his death grip on my waist and I found my voice.
"Of course… we understand." I shot a glance at Jazz who was easily the most livid vampire I think I had ever seen in that moment. Then she swept her hand over a branch and a rope fell from the sky right into her hand.
I looked around the large room we had been welcomed into and explained as quickly as I could; leaving as much detail out as possible. Zaphrina nodded to me in understanding and I liked her more for it. Kachiri and Senna were harder to read. I didn't like the way they eyed Jasper. He seemed to be ignoring them as best he could his jaw still clamped tight. I wondered how this meeting had slipped through my vision. And, the obvious affection they had for Jazz. I have been trying to see too much and some things might be getting by me…I thought.
"So sorryyyy, sometimesss we can get carried away." Zaphrina laughed slowly to herself.
I looked over to Jasper he was concentrating on me….hmmm then I felt his presence sweep over me even stronger. It was nice, and then I felt him reach out and take my hand just as he had done when we were on the ground and my confidence returned. This would be the hardest part but, I already knew if I worded it just right it would work.
"That's okay, more to the point. Will you go to Forks? And, more importantly… will you separate with Kachiri so that she can help us? This will mean the difference between life and death for so many!" I tried to calm my high pitched voice while I spoke. Kachiri raised her eyebrow again and she leaned back against the wicker couch she sat on. Then surprisingly Kachiri stood up.
"Yesss, I willl go with you. If I cannn help you I will go." She looked at Jasper when she spoke and I felt an uncomfortable stab in my chest. Instinctively I squeezed Jazz's hand harder. This part was not going to be as smooth as I had hoped. I pushed my thoughts aside and smiled at Kachiri.
"I think you can…from what I remember of what Carlisle's stories you can smell Venom? I mean you are able to know when any other Vampires are in the same area that you are, above what is normal for us? She smiled at me wide.
"Yes, that is true. I know when another Vampire is within a thousand miles of us. I can also differentiate how many. It has come in handy for us." Her voice was warm with pride. Yes, this was why I needed her. It would be worth it. We can help save Bella and Edward and all of our family.
After the hugs and tears and the goodbye's from the sisters we found our selves alone standing under the immaculate tree house. But instead, our pair had become a trio.
