Chapter Two, Alice's Attitude,

~Volterra, Italy, 3 Days Ago~

"Yes my master, I know, we have been through these plans many times." Thortan said to Aro, they were standing in an empty hallway, glancing around every so often to make sure they wouldn't be overheard. They were not revealing the plan to the rest of the Volturi, only the two of them could know because the chances of the Cullens finding out grew with every mind that knew the knowledge.

"Good, so repeat it to me Thor. Who is first? Who do we need more?" Aro quizzed his knowledge this way often. To be certain he was prepared.

"You want that girl, Alice, the one who will tell us the future. Correct? It is." He said, knowing he was right before Aro nodded.

"Good. " The frightening laugh of two vampires echoed through the noiseless hallway.

~Forks, Washington, Present~

At first everything seemed to be normal again, the next morning. Everyone was feeling less nervous, which was a good thing. But it still seemed very odd that a member of the Volturi would pass through Forks, without causing any trouble.

Everything seemed to be just fine for the first half of the morning, but that was when weird things started happening.

Bella was sitting with Edward and Nessie, Nessie was on the floor playing a game of Chess with Jacob, Bella never stopped being amazed at how fast Nessie learned. In fact, Nessie wasn't just playing Jacob in chess, she was beating him in chess. Edward was watching the game intently, and every now and then, hearing Jacob's thoughts, he'd whisper a helpful comment to Nessie, not that she needed it.

Edward whispered to Bella when Jacob wasn't paying attention. "He's not even letting her win. She's just kicking his butt, my help isn't even really helping her!" Edward sounded thoroughly impressed.

Bella smiled as she watched the game, a little bit amused that Nessie was beating Jacob.

It wasn't long before the game was over, and Nessie had won by quite a lot.

A little bit later, Alice and Jasper came down the stairs, Jasper was in the middle of saying something to Alice, who seemed unconcerned. "Alice, are you sure you're feeling okay?" Jasper asked her, concern in his voice. Bella didn't understand what was going on, but the look on Jasper's face was clearly not a happy one.

Edward jumped to his feet, looking a little surprised. "Alice?" He asked, he looked concerned as well.

"What? Whats going on?" Bella asked, staring at the three of them. Edward was staring from Jasper to Alice, and Alice was looking at Edward, thoroughly unconcerned, while Jasper stared at Alice, a look of true confusion and concern etched on his face.

They didn't answer Bella's question, by this time, Nessie and Jacob were staring at the silent three as well. Finally Alice said, in a care-free voice, "Come on guys, I'm fine. Seriously." She walked between them, while they stood frozen and uncertain.

Alice waltzed over to the couch and sat down by Bella, "How bad did she beat him this time?" Alice asked, with a perky smile as she looked from Nessie to Jacob, and the chess pieces lying on the floor.

"Pretty bad." Nessie answered, giggling from the floor.

After a moment Edward and Jasper seemed to relax and come over and sit as well.

"So, one of those other bloodsuckers came by yesterday you said?" Jacob asked, looking at them, a serious look on his face.

"Yes. But keep you're insults to yourself." Alice said, in a rather un-Alice-like snappy tone.

Bella jumped, none of the Vampires except herself really like Jacob, and wanted him around, but Bella had never heard Alice be mean to anyone before, and wondered what could have upset her so much.

"Are you alright Alice?" Bella asked, looking at her, but only after she had noticed Edward and Jasper staring at her again.

"I'm. Fine. Would you guys please just leave me alone? I'm tired of being asked 'Are you okay Alice? Are you okay?' I'm in a bad mood! Is that such a crime?" She said angrily.

Bella stared at her, something was wrong. There had to be something wrong. Alice wasn't like this, Bella had never heard her angry, and she had especially never been rude to Bella before.

When she saw Bella staring at her, Alice glared and got to her feet. Exiting the room, but not before throwing a cold stare over her shoulder.

Jasper jumped to his feet and went after Alice immediately, that look of concern across his face again. Bella couldn't be angry at Alice, she was just worried. Sweet Alice had just snapped at them, and Bella didn't understand why.

Nessie climbed onto Bella's lap, and said softly. "Mommy, whats wrong with Aunt Alice?" The look of utter confusion in Nessie's eyes was not that of an ordinary child's, but a mature young ladies.

"Jacob, do you think you could watch Nessie for the afternoon please?" Bella asked, the look on Edwards face looked like he thought this was a bad idea, but after he read through Jacobs thoughts he was sure he'd take care of his daughter.

"Sure thing Bells, " Jacob said, picking up Nessie gently, and walking out the front door.

Bella sighed and said to Edward, "Whats wrong with Alice?" she said, looking at him.

"I don't know, she's been like this all morning, apparently." Edward said, sighing also.

"I hope she's alright." Bella was really truly worried. Something was quite obviously wrong with Alice. She just hoped it got better, but little did Bella know, it would be quite the opposite, things with Alice we're about to get a whole lot worse.

~Forks, Washington, about ten miles away~

Thorton, also known as Thor, was leaning against the wall of a restaurant, talking on a cell-phone. "The plans in action my mastor." Said Thor in a low voice, so that others in the crowded restaurant would not hear. "Alice is going to be in quite a bad mood today."

The voice on the other end of the phone said something softly, making Thor chuckle.

"Yes, yes, she'll be with us by tomorrow, don't worry." Thor said, grinning as he spoke into the phone.

There was a pause as the other voice said something, and this just made Thor's grin widen. "Yes, I am completely sure My Master, there is no way my plans can fail, they have no idea. Not even the girl, she just thinks she's not content at home anymore." Laughed Thor.

The voice said something once more, and Thor said, solemnly into the phone, attitude changing instantly. "Thank you my Master, you will not be disappointed." And then he hung up the phone, with a flick of his hand, and a laugh from his mouth.
