Edwards POV
And i realise that empty words are not enough
Im left here with the question of,
just what have i to show accept, the promises i never kept,
I lie here shaking on this bed,to weight of my regrets.
I hope i never let you down.
Artist in the ambulence- Thrice.
I crouched to spring, grinning as i did so. The poor creature could never see me coming.
Alice did.
As i was mid way through my pounce she crashed into my side, i had no time to steer out of her aim so with the sound of thunder she sent me into the rocky ledge below.
Her tinkling laugh echoed off the rocky mountain, along with sound of my feet landing heavily on the rock causing it to crack.
"Alice you do know we're trying to be subtle about our presence" i told her haughtily, I watched the as my lion now aware of our presense hissed and then bolted off further up the rocky peek.
"Better luck next time Edward" Alice thought smugly and with that the annoying sized pixie skipped her way to the west side of the ledge and swandived into the tree's. I could of easily of went after the creatrue (the lion, not alice) but i couldnt be bothered, id did my share of 'forest ranger' today, taking down 3 lions. One before it tried to attack human hikers, they heard some of the fight the lion put up but instead of investagating they looked at each other and started running down the mountain path screaming. They were smart and it made me and Jazz laugh before getting told by Rosalie we were "Complete utter idiots". I gave her a smug smile to indicate i knew she just wanted them to catch a glimpse of her to wonder in her beauty, to let them think they saw 'mother nature' herself or as Rose thought she looked. She chased me the whole way back to the clearing swearing she was going to make me 'wish id never been born'
I heard Jazz laugh as Alice recalled what just happend but he was hardly listening, just watching her thinking how perfect she was and what they had done the night before they left....
"ARGH" i said it loud enough for them to hear.
"Stay out of my head then" Jasper retorted back, but he was embarassed with himself.
Striding along the way Alice had just left and going for a more classic jump. Just beacuse she liked to show off didnt mean we all did.
I grabbed a branch half way down and swung round once and launched myself into the clearing over Jazz's head. Okay i liked to show off a little bit.
"Show Off!" Alice shouted in her head.
"Speak for yourself." i replyed breezily and sprinted ahead to meet Esme who was draining the last of her kill. Alice bet Jasper she could beat him and darted off after me, jasper followed slower than he was capable, not taking a bet against Alice.
"You did that on purpose" she pouted at him when he joined the three of us.
"Like you knew i would" jasper smiled and took her hand, Alice beamed up at him.
I turned away and wondered a little further away pretending to be intrested in something else other than their thoughts. Esme being happy that they both had each other and she had both of them as part of her family, then her thoughts turned to the warm ones of Carlisle.
Carlise, Em and my heart and soul were at home. I wanted nothing more than to be back with them. Listen to my daughters whirlwind thoughts and her love for the world and her family, her constant thirst to learn, sometimes she'd spend the whole evening asking Carlisle, myself and Bella questions until she fell asleep. My daughter was the best treasure of our family.
Then there was my Bella. I longed to look into those golden eyes that silently told me they loved me. Run my fingers through her soft mahogony hair, trailing my fingers down her back and feeling her shiver with pleasure against my body. And when we were alone i could unwrap her like the best gift she was to unveal her marble body, with curves all in the right places and she was all mine, the most beautiful creature was waiting for me at home and if we got home tonight...well we would have all night.
Jasper felt my emotional shift and began to snigger.
I whirled round and took him by surprise, not alice, she dived out of the way just in time failing to take Jazz with her. The wrestle began.
Esme started shouting at us audibly and silently at me in her head
"Stop it both of you RIGHT NOW!"
"Edward for goodness sake, be mature like the young man you are, well you not exactly young but..YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN!!"
Alices mind raced ahead as she tried to 'see' the outcome. She sighed as she showed me what id do two steps ahead to beat Jasper.
Jasper might be the best fighter in our family, but the trick is to let him think he's got the upperhand (which he always mostly does with Emmett who gets to cocky or frustrated)so you fake a wrong movement which i did to let jasper get my arm behind my back and then with my free hand i grabbed his arm he was going to use to put me in a head lock to spin us both round so i had both jazz's arms behind his back before i kicked the back off his legs to get him on his knees.
It was almost a big enough distraction to stop me missing Bella.
I let go of him and jumped back a few steps. Jasper growled, i could in his mind he was about ot launch himself at me again. I crouched, waiting. And then Esme slapped the back off his head with her hand.
The sound echoed off the rocky tops above us.
"Dont you two dare start that again!" she scowled at us both
Alice burst out laughign at Jazz's ashamed little boy expression and then i did. Then Esme started laughing with us.
"Its not that funny" Jasper said defensivly
"No its not" Esme said trying to keep a stright face, Alice was doubled over.
I recovered along with Esme and she looked pointidly at both me and Jazz
"Sorry Mom" we both recited together.
She smiled as Rose danced into the clearing and Alice strightened up taking Jazz's hand in hers, smiling at him like he was a wonder of the world.I know what it felt like to look at someone and think like that, for years it used to depress me that i didnt.
"Was it you two that sounded like bears singing" Rose directed at me and Jazz,smiling slyly
Jazz didnt acknowledge her but continued to stare at Alice.
I was beginning to miss Bella more than i had all day, my dead heart was starting to hurt. Might as well channel some pain into annoying Rose.
"Yes Rosalie that was Jazz and I, and still it was a big improvement compared to you when you actually try to sing" i supplied sweetly.
She gave me a shocked then filthy look before turning to Esme who was staring at me in shock as was Alice. Jasper was actually thinking that was a good one.
I never stooped down so low, i was more of a gentleman.I must miss Bella more than i thought i did. I seen Bella in my mind and imagined the look she'd give me if she'd of been here. I cringed.
"Can we leave soon?" Rose said coldly
Esme was still looking at me.
"Rose, im sorry i didnt mean that..i just miss them" i said quietly.
Esme's smile was understanding,Alice rolled her eyes, Jaspers thoughts grew uncomfortable as he sensed my longing.
Rose let out a long sigh
" I know i miss them too, so can we please go" she pleaded.
"Yes okay as long..."
I never heard the end of Esme's sentence, nor did Alice.
She gave out a little gasp as her mind flew ahead against her control, a complete blur with me caught up in it all. Bellas face came into her mind, a feirce look on her face. It changed. Bellas face was positioned at someones ear, bronze ringlets pushed away as Bella held Renesmee's head with one hand and whispered something in her ear, to low to be audible in the vision, and then bella bit into our daughters shoulder.
I felt my face turn into a horror mask of confusion and pain as part of my mind registered Jasper shaking Alice, her face mirroring mine. I allowed all of my mind to be thrown back into Alices, the edges of this vision was blurred as Renessmee screamed, tears streaming down her face. She was Ovbious in unbearably agnony. Then it ended.
I was thrown back into the present. Everybodys mind in panick and burning curosity. Jasper was running his eyes over the trees, anticipating an attack while darting looks back at Alice as he shook her shoulders.
"What did you see Alice" his voice was strained as he tried to stay calm.
Esme was was staring from me back to alice. Rosalie had slipped into a crouch.
I couldnt believe it, i wouldnt belive it. Alice was trying not to either, searching ahead trying to look for something else. Something that would explain this but she could only come up with that one thing that didnt make any sense. Bella attacked our daughter because she was thirsty.
"NOOO!!!!!" i roared at her
Causing Esme to jump, Rose to hiss. Jasper to give me a warning growl.
"I cant make any more sense of it Edward", Alice said in a broken whisper "And neither can you"
"Alice what did you...EDWARD" Jasper called out after me but i was already pelting ahead, taking a bet against Alice. I wouldnt allow this to happen.
It was a few minutes before the others thoughts came closer to mine as Alice quickly explained what she'd seen.
