Chapter 5 is up! Yes, the suspense is over!!!
Chapter 5- Knowing
Jasper's P.O.V.-
Emmett and I escaped out of the room before anyone could find us. We didn't need to deal with Rosalie's drama even if Emmett loved her, he just couldn't stand it, and neither could I. He and I strolled down the corridors of our section of the ship. That girl I saw early, Alice. I haven't stopped thinking about her since I met her. Her hair, her eyes, and her presence had made me feel like a human again. I couldn't possibly feel this way for a human, I should distract myself.
"Hey Emmett, I'm wondering why no one else joined us. What do you think?" My southern accent was fading away now and then.
"They're trying to get her to shut up because there to lazy to walk around." He was looking down at his shoe, he really wanted to be with her.
"What's wrong? If you miss Rose that much just go back."
"Hell no, I don't want to hear her crap right now. I'm tired of it." He was really put up with it, but missed her. He kept on staring at the ground as we walked throughout the corridors.
" You go ahead to Rose, I know your hurting." He was lighting up a bit.
"Thanks." He ran off, faster than any human could. I chuckled, why did he even come in the first place?
I walked out into the midnight skies with the stars shining off their light. A girl was napping on the bench, in this weather it would be freezing for a human. I walked over to her, it was Alice. She was shivering, she only wore a nightgown as she laid on the bench. Her body was shaking from her face to feet, and Alice's closed eyes were being sealed shut, she seemed as if she was squinting.
Silly girl, I thought to myself. I needed to do something, she can't be left in the cold for the whole night. I slipped my hands under her, lifting her up. I pressed her against my chest, while her head cradled against it. Her hands were grasping my shirt. Alice's heart was fluttering, missing the even beat it should have. I ventured off into my family's cabin with her in my arms, and set her body onto my bed. Her head was placed onto the best pillow we had, and I tucked her body under the blankets. My throat was burning for her blood, but I had to ignore it, I can't take Alice's humanity away from her. She stopped shivering eventually, and slept like a princess.
"What happened Jasper?" I heard Esme's sweet voice behind me.
I shrugged,"She was sleeping on the bench up above. She was shuddering. Is it okay if she's here?"
"You can't have her here, she could figure it out." Rosalie always worrying about herself.
"So would you like her freezing in the cold!" My voice was filled with fury, Rosalie drew back a few feet. I calmed down, taking a big breath "Sorry, but I can't let her stay outside alone. So many things could happen to her." I had to protect her, it was my duty from then on.
"You love her." Esme mumbled. I turned my head towards her. Her gaze was filled with joy, and happiness.
"I'm not sure, but all I know is that I'm not letting her get hurt." The joy and happiness that filled her eyes left. I turned back to look at Alice as she slept.
She's so beautiful. I want to see her eyes, I want to see her standing, making sure she isn't hurt. But her scent is so strong. When I first saw her, she was the only thing I could see, or hear. The only person that I needed right then, and right now. When she left, my heart was occupied by the feeling of loneliness.
I spun around to make sure that Edward didn't hear that, but his eyes grew big as he stared at ground as he sat on his bed. He heard.
Esme might be right. I mumbled in my mind. I might love her, but a human?
"She's right, but then that means. Never mind." Edward's voice was carried out by uncertainty.
Everyone stood frozen until Alice's eyes opened. I was sitting at the edge of the bed, bent over with my hands crossed in front of me. A big yawn had me notice that she had awaken after the long wait. I watched as she sat up, stretching her arms, and rubbing her eyes. Alice gazed at my eyes, her's grew warm, but puzzled.
Alice spoke with exhaustion filling her every world,"What am I doing here?" She glanced around, her face was lighting up with alert, becoming frightened.
"You fell asleep outside on a bench, so I saw you. I didn't want you to continue shivering so I carried you here, and you have been sleeping ever since." It wasn't the whole story, but it will have to do for now. Alice turned her back towards the front of the bed, letting her eyes trace over the bed multiple times, something was coming back.
"I remember everything last night now." She mumbled, looking me dead in the eye. She knew something I didn't want her to know at all.
Bella's P.O.V.-
I awoke staring at the ceiling of my room. This can't be right, I was just at Edward's and my house. I realized it was a dream, but yet so realistic. I lifted myself up, giving out a huge yawn, and stretching my arms. I dragged my feet agains the floor to the other room, the sitting room. I suspected that Alice would be up, dressed and ready for the day, but she wasn't there. I strolled to Alice's room, I was getting worried. She was always awake and ready before me. I peered into Alice's room. A lump was rising from the bed, I lifted the comforter up. Alice wasn't there!
"Alice!! Where are you?! Alice!!!" I ran into the sitting room, panic was creeping into my mind. She's alright, I thought to myself, she's been through things worse then I can imagine. Fright was gathering into my mind. I ran out onto the balcony that viewed the rushing waters. Did James? No, I promised her that I would never let that happen.
"Bella, what are you doing in your nightgown? Shouldn't you be dressed." Jacob worrying about me all the time, I didn't have time to worry about me. He was sitting down for our breakfast that the chefs made us in the morning. My heart was pounding faster then a train.
"I can't find Alice anywhere, do you know where she is?" I was catching the breath I lost and my heart was slowing down.
"No, I thought she would be with you. First get your clothes on." I really didn't have time for this. I started to sprint, but Jacob grabbed me before I could.
"I need to speak to you about last night." My cheeks were turning pink. I crossed my fingers hoping this wasn't about the jump. Did he really have to bring this up now?
"I'm sorry, but I really can't I need to find Alice." I stormed out of the balcony, out of the sitting room, grabbed my coat, and ran out of the door. I didn't care if anyone saw me in my nightgown, I needed to worry about Alice now. I ran until I could find the top deck, its the most likely place to find her. I was becoming more and more frantic, I didn't have time to waste. I ran down to the deck below mine. I slipped on the way down the stairs. I pushed my hands against the frigid ground, failing to catch myself.
"Oww!!" I tried to keep this quiet so I could go to find Alice. I don't need anyone worrying about me.
"Here." I glanced up. It was Edward, he reached his hand shaking it trying to get my attention. I grasped his icy cold hands, pulling my weight up to stand. My heart was skipping beats, being off rhythm, and wanting to jump out. It was simply fluttering.
"Thank you." My cheeks were filling with blood, I was blushing. "Your getting good at finding me when I need the help." I giggled.
"Your just a magnet for disaster." His velvet voice started to chuckle. I pulled my hair behind my ear.
"You want to join me for dinner tonight? You deserve it for saving my life last night." I knew mother wouldn't approve, but can't I have fun sometimes. Invite people I approve of.
"Is your family okay with it?" He looked excited but yet unsure.
"It does not matter, they will understand." The longing in my heart for him to come was now positive he would arrive there.
"Then I will go. I'll see you then." He walked off, in the same direction that I saw Alice coming towards me. A pain in my heart came right in place of right where Edward came into. I sprinted in my nightgown over to Alice, lifting my arms out for a hug.
"Alice!!!!! Where have you been?" I embraced her.
"I'll tell you later while we are getting ready for the day. I promise." We were still tight in our embrace. This was something serious, but I could hear something in hear her voice that felt like joy.
I stepped back, she was wearing her nightgown still.
"What happened?" This was so unlike the Alice I've always known.
"I told you I'll tell you later."
"This has got to be good." I mumble under my breath. She glared at me.
Alice's P.O.V.-
Everything that happened last night came back to me in a flash after Jasper explained it to me. Bella's suicide pursuit, sleeping to the sound of the waves and my vision.
"I remember everything last night now." I mumbled, turning back to look at Jasper dead in his eyes. I remembered, he's a vampire, and so with the rest of his family. Shouldn't I be frightened, but I couldn't feel it creeping into my body. I glared at the ground.
"Jasper, how old are you?" He raised one of his eyebrows.
"Seventeen. Why a-" I stopped him from saying another word.
" How long have you been seventeen?" Everyone in the room froze in their position, disguised as statues it seemed like. I stared down at the ground. This was getting embarrassing, but I have to know the truth.
"I had this vision, that you and Carlisle? Were debating if I should become of you." I gazed right back into Jasper's eyes. "A vampire." He didn't show any emotion, but within his eyes was pure shock and so with the rest of the family. "It's true isn't it, your all vampires?" I waited for someone to say something, but not even a breath I heard. "Good vampires, I'm guessing. You don't seem to be the kind to suck any human's blood." I was looking into everyone's eyes still filled with shock, and no emotions showing anywhere else. Edward nodded his head at
"You could say that. We won't drink human's blood, but animals will do. We jokingly say that umm.. we are vegetarian vampires." he chuckled. "You can't tell anyone about this okay?"
"Promise." Everyone seem to calm down a bit, and get out of their statue state. I lifted my body up till I was sitting next to Jasper.
"If you do, our whole family maybe prosecuted to the Volturi." He sounded dead serious, and I couldn't allow seeing Jasper leave me.
"I won't. But who are the Volturi?" A question of curiosity couldn't kill me right?
"Sorry, but you shouldn't already know what we are." I understood.
" Well umm…." I didn't know what I would say, but I really need an excuse to stay a little bit longer. "Would you like to join us for dinner tonight?"
"Sure, I'll see you tonight." My favorite smile returned, it was tilted to the side a bit. "Oh, and if you need anything come back here. Um.. goodbye."
"Thank you. Bye." I stood on the tips of my toes, and kissed his ice cold cheek. An electric current ran throughout my body. I walked towards the door, waved, and then left.I glanced back behind me on the brass plaque it read Room 1734. I already felt the longing for him once I left. I knew it from then on, I loved Jasper Cullen.
Jasper, I miss you already. I wanted him to hear my thoughts, I ached for him to feel the way I felt for him. I stared down at the floor as I walked, thinking of only him. Quick footsteps rushed by me, as I slowly walked through the puzzling hallways. I located the top deck.
Edward was walking in front of me.
How did he get there? Whatever, I can't know anymore.
He disappeared in a second. I stared ahead, and I see Bella, and Edward. She was looking up into his eyes like there was no one else in the world. Oh my god! Is she in love as well? But she's engaged to Jacob. Edward walked away towards me with eyes of love and pain. Bella ran towards me nearly tripping, I ambled through the crowd to her.
"Alice!!!!! Where have you been?" She hugged me.
"I'll tell you later while we are getting ready for the day. I promise." We were still tight in our embrace. I knew I couldn't tell her about vampires, but I could tell her about my Jasper.
She stepped back, and saw I was still wearing my nightgown and so was she.
"What happened?" I'll have to explain this all to her soo.
"I told you I'll tell you later."
"This has got to be good." She mumbled while I glared at her.
We went off to the first class deck, down the grand staircase, and ventured off into room 103. I sat Bella down onto her bed, and went off into her closest of dresses I made for her.
Should she wear her white long sun dress, the yellow one, or the pink? The white, today was supposed to be warm after ten o'clock.
"Bella, I have your dress.", I yelled. She rushed over into the closest. I slipped off her nightgown, and slid her white dress on. It reached to the floor, and had a v-neck shaped collar. I pulled a tie around her waist to show off her curves. I pulled her hand, and sat her down in front of a mirror, fixing her hair up in a sloppy bun with pieces of curly hair sticking out of it.
Under Bella's breath she said,"Are you going to tell me about where you were?" She was playing with her fingers, picking at her nails, and scratching at dry skin.
"Yes." My voice was solemn and low, time to explain was next, I knew it.
"Can you tell me now so I'm not so worried?" She looked up from her fingers, through the mirror to me.
Should I actually tell her or lie? I can't lie to her she's my sister. I'll tell her the truth.
I explained everything to her while finishing fixing her hair and make up, from sleeping out in the cold, waking up to Jasper, and his family, but not them being vampires. I told her about the vision. She knew that they always came true, but I reassured her that it was probably more of a dream. At the end of my explanation," I fell in love Bella, with Jasper Cullen. I can't keep him off my mind, and every time I'm away from him a pain in my heart forms." Bella's eyes turned big and faded away. She turned away from the mirror, stared deeply into my eyes, and hugged me.
"Oh, Alice I'm so happy for you. I hope you get together with him, he sounds like your kind of guy." Bella was always so happy, and cheery.
I finished her hair, and make-up, she looked amazing as usual.
"Thank you, Alice.", Bella and I walked out to the sitting room.
Jacob's came bursting from the balcony," Bella! I have to talk to you now, I know your here!" I gasped at the strength of Jacob's words. I've never heard Jacob so mad especially at Bella. Bella slowly strolled to the balcony showing the ocean glaring down at the floor. She was frightened, she didn't know what was to happen, and neither did I. I ran off to get my clothes changed before things became horrible.
R&R please! So I can make each chapter better.
