Twilight through Alice's Eyes Chapter 13
A/N: Hello again. I'm having fun writing this story. I'm not having fun doing research for school projects, but that can't be helped. Anyway, here's chapter 13. ;)
Chapter 13
APOV
All night there was a fine snow that fell; by morning there would be a coating of ice on the ground. When Edward and I got home that evening after our little talk and a little hunting, everyone including Carlisle looked at me like they were expecting me to do something rash or break something.
"What? Do you guys think that I'm going to kill you or something?" They were still silent and just started at me.
"Alice, we're just a little concerned for your mental health, that's all." Carlisle apparently heard about my little temper tantrum. "Are you sure that you're alright?"
"Yes, I'm alright; at least now that Edward told me the truth." Carlisle's gaze went from me to Edward. Edward just stood there with a guilty look on his face, knowing that he was the reason that I had my temper tantrum.
After that, the night passed pretty quickly. I looked through all of my clothes and tried them on and modeled them while Jasper watched-much to his objection. He even got to see me in the lavender dress that I had bought that day shopping with Edward. He looked stunned and his eyes seemed to pop out of his head. There were waves of lust coming off of him towards me. I wondered if it was lust from Emmett and Rosalie or if it was his own genuine lust; it's always hard to tell with him.
He came up to me and looked at me like he never saw me in a dress before. "Wow, Alice. You look beautiful. Like the prettiest woman I ever saw."
I believe I will spare you the rest of the details since those are fairly private, although Edward probably knows about them if he was reading either of our minds; I think I heard moans of disgust from him, but I'm not sure.
When it was time to leave for school, there was ice on the ground. Edward drove only a little lower than his normal speed; just because us vampires are dominant on water doesn't mean that are cars are dominant on ice. We still got there with plenty of time to spare. Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper and I walked over to stand on the side walk while Edward stayed standing at his car. As we stood on the sidewalk, me watching Edward, the others talking to each other, I had a vision.
Edward and Bella were standing in a hallway in the hospital. "I want to know the truth. I want to know why I'm lying for you." Bella looked really mad like she was tired of hearing false lies from Edward.
"What do you think happened?" a very angry Edward snapped.
"All I know is that you weren't anywhere near me-Tyler didn't see you, either, so don't tell me I hit my head too hard. That van was going to crush us both-and it didn't, and your hands left dents in the side of it-and you left a dent in the other car, and you're not hurt at all-and the van should have smashed my legs, but you were holding it up. . ." The tears were coming to her eyes and she was grinding her teeth together in frustration.
His face was defensive and tense like he wasn't going to give her any answers. He was staring at her like she was crazy. "You think I lifted a van off you?" His tone sounded mocking but it sounded too planned out, as if he knew what she were going to ask. Bella nodded her head. "Nobody will believe that, you know."
"I'm not going to tell anybody." It sounded as if she were holding back a lot of anger.
Edward looked surprised. "Then why does it matter?"
"It matters to me. I don't like to lie-so there'd better be a good reason why I'm doing it." She insisted on getting an answer from him.
"Can't you just thank me and get over it?"
"Thank you." She waited for an explanation that he wasn't going to give.
"You're not going to let it go, are you?"
"No."
"In that case. . . I hope you enjoy your disappointment."
I snapped back out of my vision just in time to see a van driven by Tyler Crawley headed straight for Bella Swan. I looked over at Edward and he was looking over towards Bella in a state of shock. I hoped to God that he didn't do what I thought he was going to, but he did. In a rush to save the life of the girl he loved, he ran-at vampire speed, none the less-to go and push her out of the way. He moved in between the space of Bella and the van and you could see the van lifted up slightly as he pushed it away. The van was sent spinning but was still heading towards Bella and Edward. I faintly heard Edward mutter a profanity before the van hit Edward's hands that he had stuck out to stop the on coming van. There was glass everywhere and there was all of the banged up metal there along with it.
"Bella? Are you alright?" I could just vaguely hear Edward ask her.
"I'm fine." Her voice sounded a little traumatized but who wouldn't be after they were just about to get hit by a car, twice. The four of us were still standing over on the sidewalk but the disappointment we felt was still known by Edward.
"Be careful. I think you hit your head pretty hard." Edward, cautious as always.
"Ow." She actually sounded surprised that it hurt.
"That's what I thought." I kind of sounded like she was trying to not laugh at Bella being surprised of pain.
"How in the. . . How did you get here so fast?"
"I was standing right next to you, Bella." He was using that to cover up the fact that she knew he wasn't close to her. That was what my vision was about. She was trying to get the answer from him of how he really got over to save her so fast, and I knew that she wasn't just going to stop at that answer. She would want to know more.
A/N: So how was it? I'm trying to figure out how to build a plane that will fly as my project for math class. I don't know how well it will fly but just so it moves is what I'm trying for. It took me a while to write this because I was throwing things around the room trying to decide how to build a plane. Any suggestions? I think I will build it so it is cylinder shaped and the front it pointed so that there is minimum wind resistance so it will fly fast. Anyway, that was very off topic, I'll try to update more today but who knows with me distracted like this. Please review. ;)
