Chapter 5
Alice's Point Of View
Jasper squeezed my hand affectionately and let go, in a second he was out the door, giving me a kiss before disappearing completely. Edward's footsteps could be heard faintly coming up the driveway; I tried to clear my mind of anything that would ruin this moment for him. As promised Jasper was sending a calm anticipation over Edward and I felt it too.
"Jasper, that's not necessary" he waited for Jazz to stop messing with his feelings then added "Thank you" when he stopped. Edward entered the living room and both of us knew that every other vampire in this house was listening intently too.
"What is it Alice?" I couldn't put it into words properly so I let him see instead.
A cold hand grasped a delicate pale girl's arm. She pulled her arm so that her hand fell into his like a puzzle piece finally being put into place to complete the picture. She breathed in his scent and smiled to herself. He carefully wrapped an arm around her body and held her close, whispering the words;
"I am yours forever Isabella."
I came out of that scene and he gawped at me. I know, there's more though… he acknowledged my thought, waiting for what came next;
The whole family sat in this very living room across the four sofas – Alice balancing on Jasper's knee, Carlisle playing with Esme's hair, Rosalie tucked into Emmett's side and a human girl lying against Edward's body. Her heat was warming his icy exterior. She was sleeping peacefully and even though her chocolate brown curls draped over his shoulder he did not appear affected by it the way he should be. In comparison to what was expected he seemed to be drinking her smell in – savouring it. None of the other vampires acted on their animal instincts either, even though her sweet fragrance filled the room.
Edward was shaking his head in disbelief. That was my favourite vision, the final picture I loved equally but would probably upset him as it meant for the other two to become definite, a price had to be paid;
Alice was darting around the girl making final touches to her already flawless appearance, she stood petrified in a long, simple satin dress – in a pure snow white shade. Alice handed her an expensive bouquet of flowers and kissed her cheek.
"Ready sis?"
"Ready as I'll ever be. Will he…like it?"
"He'll love it of course. You're perfect Bella. Lucky I can't shed any tears; I've never understood why people always cry at weddings - until now. This is the just the beginning…"
I was right. Edward was furious.
"See Edward, you won't hurt her. You've already begun to fall…" Edward cut me off
"Don't say it."
You've already begun to fall in love with her.
"That's what's been decided now, but what happens the next time I catch her scent? We both saw which way it could have gone and it was a narrow escape."
"I don't care what you think, I've seen it, if you choose not to believe it that's your choice – besides I'd quite like another sister."
"It's not going to happen!" he shouted at me and everyone else who was listening, probably Esme and Carlisle mostly.
"I won't let it" he concluded.
He growled and ran out of the house not bothering to close the door. I sprinted to the doorway to see him enter the forest. At least he'd be back soon, we had school in a few hours and I knew he intended to go. Anyways, he hadn't seen his car yet – I was going to be in big trouble.
Edward's Point Of View
My teeth sank into the elk's neck and I gulped down the blood in a hungry manner. For a few moments I felt no burning sensation. Then it returned with a vengeance. I dropped the animal to the ground and looked up to see the sun beginning to rise. I decided to go back to the house and apologise to Alice, she didn't mean to upset me like that, although I wish she hadn't been so enthralled by the idea of Bella and I.
As I knocked on her door, she swung it open and put her arms round my neck.
"It's okay Edward, I forgive you. You know it might not be so bad…" I gave her a menacing glare. She shrugged and danced past me. Rose muttered about it being time to leave and I watched Alice shoot down the stairs and Jasper walk through the doorway next to me. I followed him out to the garage and turned to Alice.
"Where's my car?"
"What car?" she asked innocently.
"My car. My Volvo. The silver one with four wheels and a spotless interior. The vehicle I've driven us to school in every day for nearly two years. The one I let you borrow while I was away!"
"Oh, that car," she hid behind Jasper so that I couldn't attack her when she finished her response "It's being taken care of, you'll have it back in four to six days. Sorry for any inconvenience caused." She sounded like someone in a repairs shop. Jasper pushed her into the car and slid in next to her. Reluctantly I joined them. Rosalie in the driver's seat with Emmett as her right hand man, she turned on the radio and played a CD from her appalling collection. I clenched my fists and composed my face into a distant stare, all the while thinking up ways to get Alice back. She'd see me coming so I'd have to wait for the perfect time...
