Alice's POV
I watched, entranced, as the boys entered the hall. I saw them all exchanging glances as almost all the girls whistled and cheered. My sisters half cheered, but it was only so our friends didn't notice anything. I just sat and stared. Everyone at the party knew that the party was to celebrate something to do with the Cullen boys, but they didn't know all of the details. Only me, Bella, Renesme, Rosalie, Angela and Ben knew the exact reason. And Ben only knew because he was Angela's boyfriend. I watched as everyone got up to dance, and the chatter broke out again. Renesme gave me a nudge, which helped to bring me out of my trance. I jumped up, and I ran off to find myself a dancing partner. I twirled around on my own, waiting to see someone that I liked. After all; I couldn't chose anyone. I began to move backwards, only to walk into someone's arms. I froze, holding my breath. I turned around, only to have my worst nightmare clarified. I had walked straight into Jacob Cullen.
Jacob's POV
We, as in me and my brothers, walked through the wide, open doors. We were greeted by cheers and whistles. I glanced at Edward, only to confirm that I wasn't the only one who was trying to contain my embarrassment. I scanned the crowd, trying to find the Swan girls. They were nowhere to be seen, so I made my way to the dance floor. Alice was probably trying to hide amongst all the swaying bodies. I took another step forward, trying to ignore the wallflowers. They looked so alone, so disappointed. And some of them were quite pretty . . . but no. Focus. I had to find the Swans. I glanced in front of me, only to be greeted by the very person I had been looking for. Alice Swan. She in her own little world, but she seemed just as focused as I was. Probably trying to find a dancing partner. I opened my arms, and she walked straight into them. She froze, and turned around slowly. I knew from the look in her eyes that her plan had just collapsed. I grinned, and led her upstairs, to a large, comfortable room. Me and my brothers had agreed that we should all get to know one another before making any decisions, so we had this private room upstairs.
Angela's POV
I stared as Alice walked straight into Jacob's arms. I couldn't do anything but watch as he led her up some steps, probably taking her to a private room upstairs. I watched as the other Cullen boys steered the Swans upstairs. They wouldn't be able to escape know, and I had failed to help Alice. She was going to kill me next time I saw her.
Rosalie's POV
Edward, Emmett and Jasper had found me and my sisters by the food table. Each of them grasped our hands, and began to pull us up some steps. Emmett was pulling Nessie, and no matter what she did he would just keep pulling. Either he was to strong or she was too weak. Or both. Edward was pulling me, and Jasper was pulling Bella. Bella had already given in, but I wouldn't. I let Edward believe that I was coming 'quietly'; so he relaxed his grip. Then I trod on his foot as hard as I could. My heels were abnormally sharp, and he immediately let go of my hand. But before I could run, he had grabbed my hand again. I decided to give in. We made our way up the steps, going right to the top. There, I knew, was a large flat. We were probably going to be proposed to in private, before out in the open. Emmett opened the door, and we saw Alice sitting in the corner. The boys let go of our hands, and we raced over to her. She was glaring over our shoulders at Jacob. No prizes for guessing why. Once we had seated ourselves on the sofa, we all turned our gazes to the Cullen's, who were standing by the closed door, looking very uncomfortable. "Right then." I said in a sweet, sickly voice. "Where to begin? "
