Maria POV.
I could smell her, the stench of animal blood was not strong enough to cover her stupid pixie scent. The crunch of shoes on grit was more of a concern though, who was wandering towards the front door, it was not one of the Cullen's, they were hiding away somewhere leaving me and Jasper alone. A fresh scent hit me and it took all of my self-control not to reel away, my lips stayed locked to Jaspers as the footsteps left the grit and stepped onto the front porch. A werewolf was here, lingering nervously at the door.
Still stunned by the arrival of both Alice and a mongrel I looked down to see Jasper still locked in my spell, not quite strong enough to push me away. I slid my hands up to his neck and looked him in the eye, pushing my powers into him one last time, he glared back, unyielding. So I snapped his neck and threw him across the room into the piano, a split second after he landed I was on top of him, plunging a large piece of ivory into his chest. Blood from his most recent kill seeped from the wound and dripped onto the floor.
Sprinting across the room I slammed into the front door, pushing it against its hinges and flying through the gap. I landed on the grit in time to see the mutt running down the road and into the forest, shedding his clothes along the way.
Drops of water hitting the ground told me Alice had crossed the river. As I strode to the back door I picked splinters of wood from my hand and kicked the glass door to pieces. The pixie stood, silouted against the light from the moon, her clothes stained with blood and drenched from striding through the river.
"What kind of pathetic vampire are you if you cannot even jump over a river, no wonder Jasper loves me and not you" I sneered as I looked her up and down, what hope did this stupid pixie child have against me? A seasoned hunter against some fragile mind reading child?
"The kind of vampire that will end your stupid fantasy about Jasper loving you, he is mine and I will not live without him" Alice screeched back at me, as she took another step closer.
"Suit yourself" I sneered as I covered the distance between us in a second, swinging my arm towards her meaning to grab a part of her and rip it off, but my hand swept through empty air and I landed on the floor off balance. She was on me in a second bending my arm backwards, causing me to moan in pain, the idiot hesitated and I brought my other hand down on her arm snapping the Radius and making her drop my arm. Popping my arm back in place with a shrug I grabbed her neck and slapped her across the face, whipping her head back. Letting her drop to the floor I ripped the ring off her finger and pitched it into the river with a flick of my wrist and bent down to snap her back, but she was gone.
