Thanks SO much for all of the amazing reviews! I'm not asking for a certain number this chapter! So just please review, and I'll be happy! Haha! Enjoy the next chapter! It's shorter then the others, but okay!
"Bella?" Edward's frantic voice asked.
"No. It's Alice." I said, trying to keep my voice cool and calm as I was about to spill my vision out to him over the phone. Who knew what kind of damage my brother could do to the pack. But they deserved it. No, Bella deserved it.
"Alice? Where's Bella? Can I talk to her?"
"She can't come to the phone right now." I calmly said, but if I even had a heart, it would have been beating at least a billion times a minute. I. was. not. calm.
"What? Where is she?"
"Edward…"
"What? Alice, tell me right now! Did you see a vision?" I sighed, but didn't respond. "ALICE!" He screamed, so loud that I had to wince, pulling the phone away from my ear. "Where is she?" he calmly asked, trying to control his anger as the realization hit him, "She's not there, is she?"
"No." I squeaked. "I had a vision."
"What happened?" I could tell he tensed up and that he was running by the sound of the wind flying through the phone.
"Edward, her future disappeared." I could hear him stop in his tracks; the wind stopped blowing.
"Was she with him?" He growled, anger dripping from his voice.
"I don't know. I can't see werewolves, remember?" I sighed. "I'm sorry, Edward."
"I'm coming home." He said, hanging up the phone.
"So?" Rose asked as I brought the phone back down from my ear and hung it up, a loud, echoing 'click' rebounding throughout the house.
"He's coming."
Bella's POV
As I neared the beach, I could already hear the music, and I could see the bright fire burning. I killed the engine and got out of the car before I realized that, silly me, I was still dressed in my escape outfit. I slid off the robe and chucked it into the passenger seat. I pulled the t-shirt over my head, but the collar got stuck around my neck. I grunted, trying to get it off as I ran around in a circle, my arms up in the air and my shirt over my head. I couldn't see anything.
"Bella!" I heard, and I looked up, spinning around to see if I could see who it was, even though I already knew.
It was Jake.
"Jake?" I asked, my voice muffled from the shirt.
He laughed. "You're such a klutz." I felt two warm hands on my arms, and the shirt was removed from my body. "Here, let me take off your pants for you, just so that you don't have to fall down and hurt yourself. We wouldn't want you coming home to that leech with any evidence that you had been partying with me, right?" I didn't answer.
He smiled as he bent down and tugged at my pant legs. They immediately dropped, and I moved my feet to get out of them when I tripped, naturally of course, but Jake's arms caught mine, breaking my fall onto the gravel below. He laughed softly. "Gotcha."
"Thanks." I mumbled, and he smiled again, throwing my shirt and pants into the car. His breath was even and warm, producing a good feeling against my head.
"Jake!" I turned and saw Embry and Quil running towards him, smiling for all their might, drinks in hand.
"Hey! Look, it's the vampire girl!" Embry declared, and I smiled, waving sheepishly at them.
"Hey!"
"We didn't think that you'd be here!" Quil said, and Embry nodded his head.
"Yeah, but then Billy told Jake that you had told him that the stiff was gone, so we called you."
"Yeah, I know." I smiled, and then Jake took my hand.
"Let's go." He said, pulling me down towards the beach.
My eyes must have nearly popped out of my sockets.
There must have been about a hundred people there! I didn't even know that Forks and La Push combined had that many as their population! The girls were dressed in very skimpy dresses, and I laughed. I thought that mine was skimpy! They were dancing all over the guys, grinding in the middle and then just dancing as if the guy were their pole, and they were a stripper.
"Jake…" I started. "I'm not too sure about this." I said, a very uneasy feeling forming in my stomach.
"I'm sure if you have a drink or two, you'll be okay." He said, and I realized we were by the long table that held the food and drinks. He handed me a red, plastic cup, and I took a sip. It was a metallic taste, it almost tasted like acid! I spewed the pale gold liquid all over the sand, and coughed, sticking my tongue out in distaste.
"Ew! Jake, this tastes horrible!"
"No it doesn't." He countered, handing me another cup.
"What is this stuff?" I asked, staring at the liquid, wrinkling my nose.
"Trust me, you don't wanna know. But you'll feel better after you drink it." He winked at me, drowning the whole cup in one, large gulp. He refilled it. "Come on, drink up, and then we'll dance."
"O-okay." I said, taking another sip. I guess it wasn't that bad. I've definitely drunk worse. Two drinks and five (at least, I think it was five) shots later, I felt a whole lot better. "Come on, Jake! Let's go!" I giggled, and I think he smiled. I couldn't tell, but the next thing I knew, we were in the middle of the dance circle, the hot, sweaty bodies around me.
"Isabella Marie Swan, what in the name of the Volturi do you think you are doing?" Edward growled.
I ignored him.
Alice's POV
"Here he comes." I said to Rose as I saw a silver Volvo turn into the Swan residence driveway. I ran out to him, and hugged him.
"I'm so, so, so, sorry, Edward." I said, and he shoved me away.
"What did you see? Where is she?" He asked, and Emmett and Jazzie got out of the car too. I flirtatiously waved at my husband, and Edward growled.
"Now is not the time to flirt!" He smacked me in the arm. I felt hurt. He'd never done that to me before. "What did you see?"
"I saw her driving down the road in a strange, red car and she went to the beach. I couldn't see parts of it, but then I saw her drinking a couple of drinks, and then her future completely disappeared."
"Damn." Edward silently cursed, a low growl emitting from his chest. He stared up at us, his topaz eyes murderous. "Get into the car. Now." He said to the rest of the Cullen's, and then started up the Volvo.
"I call shotgun!" Emmett called, climbing in where Edward glared at him. Jazzie, Rose, and I crawled into the back, jammed up against each other.
Jasper sent out a wave of relaxation as I shut the door, but Edward turned around in his seat and glared at my husband. "Now is not the time, Jasper! Stop it!" He ignited the engine and then drove down the road.
This was going to turn out bad.
Bella's POV
I was giggling harder then ever as Jake picked me up and spun me around. I put both my hands on his shoulders, and finally, he stopped, letting me down. My knees gave out, and I collapsed to the ground.
"Bella? You okay?"
I just giggled harder. Why am I acting this way? I stared up at Jake, and laughed.
"What?" He asked.
He looks ridiculous! "You have…you have elephant ears!" I started rolling around on the ground, clutching my stomach as I continued to laugh, tears falling down my face.
"No, I don't! Bella!" Jake protested, and then grabbed my hand, pulling me up. "Come on, snap out of it!"
"Drink." I slurred my words. "I wannadrink."
"You want a drink?" he asked, and I nodded my head. "All right." He pulled me over to the table and poured me another drink. I drank the whole thing, the nasty, warm liquid running down my throat. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw a guy spilling the guts of his stomach all over the sand.
"Love, are you drunk? Calm down. Sit down. Don't do this to me, Bella. Don't do this to Alice! What about Rosalie! She was just starting to like you! Run away from there. Get back to your car! Run!"
"Edward!" I giggled, plopping down onto the ground and slapping my hands on the warm sand like a baby taking its first bath.
Jacob bent down next to me. "Edward? No, I'm Jacob!"
"Edward! I heard Edward!"
He gulped. "You heard E-Edward?"
"Yeah! He talked to me in my head!"
"Bella Swan." His voice was low, lower then I'd ever heard it. "Are you drunk?"
"Drink!" I said, reaching my hands up towards the bowl of gold liquid.
He poured me another one.
Alice's POV
Edward turned off the engine right before the dividing line and got out of the car. He could see the fire too.
The next thing I knew, there was a tug on my arm, and I was being pulled out of the car.
"Is that where she is? Was there a fire in your vision?"
"Yes." I nodded my head, and Emmett, Jasper, and Rosalie all got out of the car.
He turned around and glared at them. "What are you all doing? Get back in the car! We're going to the beach!"
Jasper cleared his throat.
No!
"Uh, Edward? That's into werewolf territory. That's against the treaty."
"Look, I'm not here to fight with you, Jasper." He growled, his eyes narrowing. "I don't care about any damn treaty right now."
"I hate to say this, but I must agree with him." Emmett said, and I gasped. No!
"Excuse me?" Edward asked, his voice raging as he was walking around to the other side of the car where Emmett was standing.
"If we cross the boundary line, it's war."
"So you're saying that my fiancé means nothing to you? Her future is about to disappear and you think that I should just stand here and watch her die rather then go to war?" Edward fumed, his hands clenching in fists.
"I never-"
Edward inched closer to him with every angry word he spilled out of his mouth. "What would you do if Rosalie was the one down there? And Alice saw her future disappear? Would you just sit here?" Emmett didn't answer, and Edward growled, probably hearing something he didn't like run through Emmett's mind. My eyes glazed over.
I was having a vision.
Edward punched Emmett, and the two got into a nasty fight.
"Edward! No!" I screamed, but it was too late, Edward had already punched him across the face, and Emmett was barreling at him at vampire speed, knocking Edward down. He growled, got up and ran right into Emmett's chest. Edward lunged another punch at him, smacking Emmett across the face again, and for once, Emmett growled. And I mean, he growled. They lunged at each other, shoving them to the ground, rolling around and throwing punches. "Jasper!" I yelled in distress. "Do something!" I pleaded, and he sighed, closed his eyes, and released a wave of calm over the two. They stopped and let go of each other. "Thanks." I whispered, and he smiled back at me.
The two brushed the dirt and sticks off of themselves, and then stepped away from each other.
"Fine." Edward said, "Emmett. You can go back home. Take Alice, Rose, and Jasper. I'm doing this alone."
"Fine." Emmett said, and Edward got into his Volvo, starting up the engine. We quickly moved out of the way, and I knocked on the driver's window. He rolled it down.
"Yes?" He asked.
"I'm so sorry, Edward. Truly, I am."
"I know." He sighed. "It's just Bella that I'm worried about."
"But I should have taken more care of her! I should have kept a more watchful eye on her! I'm so sorry." I hung my head in shame, and Edward touched my shoulder.
"Don't be." He said, and then the Volvo was gone, and he was across the border, driving towards the beach.
"Let the war begin." Emmett mumbled as we stared after the shiny silver car as it disappeared into the night.
