Jasper's POV
I was trying to calm Rosalie down when I heard Alice's voice call out for us faintly. Rosalie and I glanced at each other before we sped forwards in the direction that Alice had called from. In less than a minute we had reached Edward's Meadow. It was truly a magnificent sight that morning, as the sun gazed down on two...wait three vampires? Now I realised why the emotions were so strong in here. There was panic almost smothering the place and a rather strange feeling coming from Bella.
"What the fuck?" Rosalie muttered as she leaped forwards with me to pin Bella down. Man, she was so flipping strong! I looked up to see Alice struggling to hide her shock. Alice, the person who was never surprised and never panicked...well apart from that time when she realised Bella had jumped off a cliff and Edward was about to commit suicide. Even calm Carlisle was looking flustered as he held Bella's arm down with Alice holding down one of her legs and Rosalie holding down the other. I quickly pinned Bella's other flailing arm down and we all breathed a sigh of relief. I looked down at Bella's face. It was almost unrecognizable with the expression it held. Her face was furious and she was glaring at everyone. The words that came to my mind 'If looks could kill...we'd all be dead right now.' I shivered as I gazed at Alice, my love. She shrugged as she turned to face Carlisle. Carlisle looked worried and when he found all eyes on him he opened his mouth to say something. Then he shut it again as he stared wide eyed at us. I rolled my eyes and heard Rosalie mutter, "I told you so!"
"Alice. When did you notice that Bella was acting strangely?" Carlisle managed to say. Alice pursed her lips before answering, "After I had my vision I guess."
"Your vision...what was it about?" I asked urgently. She stared back at me and smiled slightly at my anxious voice. I nodded encouragingly as she hesitated.
"I never saw this coming...my vision was sometime in the future, where there were...werewolves...and no sign of vampires but I knew they were there..."
"Oh. Okay. Now can you see what will happen if we let her go?" Carlisle asked nodding at the still thrashing Bella that they were pinning to the ground. Alice's eyes went blank and glassy for a second then her eyes refocused again but waves of confusion were emitting from her. I frowned at her and she turned to me, perplexed, "I couldn't see any of Bella's future. I could try yours Carlisle." Carlisle was slightly puzzled but nodded.
"I saw you...and us...we were staring up a tree." Alice answered after a while. We all stared at her, our mouths open. At this point Rosalie burst into giggles, rolling around on the ground. This proved to be a mistake as Bella used her leg to kick Alice, than as Alice rolled to the floor Bella pushed Carlisle and me away. I sent waves of calmness to her but it seemed lost in that strange hunger of hers. We turned to stare at Bella who smiled tauntingly down at us, so unlike the Bella we knew. She then turned and ran. Oh damn her. I leapt to my feet and pulled Alice up as well. However before we could do anything, Bella was running back into the clearing, looking freaked out...more normal for her. Edward and Emmett emerged from the woods and I could see why. Emmett was wearing a pink curly wig with a rubber pig's snout and a pink frilly dress. I burst out laughing. He looked ridiculous with the bright pink lipstick and blusher he had on. If I could cry, tears would be rolling down my cheeks. It didn't help anyone else that I had ended up sending waves of laughter at everyone else as well. Edward, who'd been controlling himself for Emmett's sake was now leaning against an oak tree for support (the oak tree looked like it was about to snap and was shaking...a lot). Bella had unwillingly landed on her knees and was laughing with a furious expression on her face which looked so strange causing me to burst into a fresh wave of laughter.
Then I noticed Bella's eyes which had turned from the regular ruby red for a newborn to a pitch black. I sobered myself for her sake, standing up but made everyone else miserable as well. I pulled Alice up next to me and whispered, "I really should keep my feelings under control!" Alice smiled and bit her lip. Carlisle, looking rather harassed from rolling around the ground, composed himself and turned to face Bella who was sitting stubbornly on the grass staring downwards. A growl escaped from her lips, more threatening then I had ever heard, even from over-protective Edward when defending Bella. We all took a step back. She moved into a crouching position and her eyes centred on me, as if she knew it was me who had caused her to break into giggles. Edward noticed and quickly stepped in front of me and Alice, he whispered to Bella, "Bella, love, do you know who I am?" Bella's eyes moved to rest on Edward. Her threatening posture relaxed and the expression on her face became confused as she tilted her head to one side to examine Edward. Edward looked slightly pained as Bella struggled to remember anything and then his whole face brightened. If felt his despair lift and hope arise as he started humming Bella's lullaby. Bella now sat down again and began rocking back and forwards slowly. I saw Esme come up from behind and put her arms around Carlisle. I hugged Alice to me tighter, kissing the top of her black short hair. We all turned to face Bella who was pulling at her hair. Edward was completely frozen, shock emitting from him.
Bella suddenly sprang to life though, scrambling up a huge tree and disappeared from view. The rest of us jumped as the huge tree came toppling to the ground with a thud. We stared as Bella ripped the bark from the tree angrily and squashed fistfuls of branches together so that the sap ran from them. She then did something totally unexpected. She licked the sap off until there was none left then did the same with the other branches. I stared in shock as I felt her strange hunger get quenched and she finally turned to face us again; her eyes a bright ruby red again but with hints of green around the edges. She blinked several times as she stopped again at Edward who was now curled up on the floor, shaking. I could feel his despair, guilt and misery. I signalled for the rest of us to leave. He needed to do this himself. As we melted back into the forest, I felt a shock of
recognition coming from Bella. Chuckling silently, I wrapped my arms around my wife's waist and kissed her lightly on the lips before I picked her up and ran towards the house. She rolled her eyes but put her arms around my neck, kissing me on my shoulder, then my neck. I closed my eyes in bliss, using only my sense of hearing, and smell to guide me through the forest back to the house. Alice was my angel. My true sweet angel.
Once we'd reached the house, I set Alice down and turned to face the forest. Alice grinned as she watched the trees carefully. Esme and Carlisle burst through first, then Emmett and Rosalie. Emmett having managed to lose the curly wig as such. We all turned to go into the house. Then a lonely wolf's howl broke through. Something inside me seemed to break and in everyone else. Some wild anger was unleashed and all of us had frozen. I turned to face Alice slowly. She shrugged, "Sorry, I forgot. We've got a week to move."
No wonder we'd heard the wolf calling to its pack. The symbolic meaning meant too much. The dogs were preparing to fight.
