Chapter 9
APOV
I sat in a tree at the bottom of the mountain. There were only minutes left untill they arrived. It was nerve racking. I heard their footsteps grow nearer.
The woman was whispering to the newborn, just like she had in the vision. I sat quietly in the tree, trying to avoid the encounter as long as possible. My family better get here soon. The newborn's eyes met mine. My cover was blown.
I leapt lightly out of the tree. It seemed that only the newborn had seen me, because the woman and the other two men crouched down as soon as my feet touched the ground. The one male let out a low hiss. The woman silenced him quickly.
She seemed to be the dominant one among the four. She must be one of Maria's newborn handlers, just like my Jasper had been before he joined the Cullens. Her blood red eyes were piercing through my soul. Deep down I saw the same rage that Jasper had held in his eyes. There were centuries of hate burned into her eyes.
I held my ground and tried not to show weakness. Jasper had told me about the ruthless, brute strength of newborns. They let their emotions control their actions so they were probably very rash moves. There wouldn't be much strategy behind his moves. I hoped I would be able to predict them.
"You must be, Alice. Maria has told me so much about you. I trust you saw me coming." Hmmm... Maria was talking about me.
I wonder what the cold, hard, bitch had made up about me.
"Indeed, I did see you coming. But your motives aren't clear to me." I hope talking would waste time.
"Motives?" A high pitched laugh errupted from her. It was a laugh that would cause the neighborhood's cat population to claw out their ear-drums.
"You silly girl. I thought it would be obvious." She said with a slightly amused look. The newborn at her side chuckled lightly.
"Think hard now... What would make Maria the happiest of all?" I gasped softly. NO...NO...NO NO NO NO!!!!! Not my Jasper...

What the hell was going on down there!? I wanted to know. The only thing I heard was a woman's laughter. It wasn't Alice's kind, bell-like laughter. It sounded almost deranged. Dripping with insanity.
Was she ok? I could just imagine the sight of tiny Alice, facing four fully trained war vampires. This would not end well.
Where the hell are you Edward !?!?!?!?!? I was starting to get hysterical. I found it hard to breathe. Maybe I could just take a quick look outside...
OOOOOOO.... What will happen next? (^.^)
