CHAPTER 4

Mood Music: Muse - I Belong To You

"I don't know if we should do this," A voice I knew could only be Jacob. "What if he can't be trusted? Just because he's related to Alice doesn't mean he can't be dangerous."

"Jacob, He can't hurt her if for one thing, he has eight other vampires watching his every move. Along with a werewolf. He just wouldn't be able to get that far enough."

We were inside now. Jacob's -as soon as he saw us walk in- hands started shaking.

"Hello, Jacob. Nice to meet you face to face." Jacob gave Edward the "How-the-hell-did-he-know-my-name" look. It made me want to laugh. But I just smiled. I looked at Renesmee from across the room. She was sitting in a chair, staring at me like I was family already even if I hadn't even met her…technically at least. I'm guessing that Jacob highly dislikes this idea. I thought to myself – well to Edward too of course- stating the obvious. Edward nodded.

"Jacob, I would never harm her because I would never hurt Alice and through her everyone else that way." I said trying to alleviate the tense atmosphere. It worked. Or was jasper doing that? I couldn't tell. I walked to Renesmee slowly. Aware of everyone staring at me.

"Hello Renesmee, How are you?" I asked, out of courteousness.

"Fine and you?" She asked in a high bell-like voice.

"Better now that I've found what I've been unconsciously looking for."

"My mommy and daddy say you are special."

"I guess so." I chuckled. She looked at Edward.

"Maybe in a little bit. He might be curious to see Alice's room and the rest of the house."After he said that she looked meaningfully at me then stuck her hand out. I knew what that meant. I leaned forward. And as I leaned forward so did everyone else, anticipating my reaction.

As soon as her hand touched my face, I froze for the shortest half second not used to the flow of thought. She "showed" me a memory of her room. And as she did, she asked me if I could go to her house and visit. When she was done I pulled away.

"Sure, as long as your mom and dad don't mind." I looked at Edward and Bella.

"I mind," Said Alice from behind me, "We'll have enough time in the future to go see their house. But while you're here I want to show you something." Fine. As soon as I thought that I could feel what she felt and I was able to hear her thoughts. Whoa! I didn't know I could do this! What the…! How can I hear your thoughts! Can you hear mine? I can now. Ha. Edwards probably getting a head full! Alice had stopped dead. Jasper was shaking her shoulders. Edward was staring at both of us. My eyes and Alice's eyes were distant as our conversation was going on.

"What is it Alice!" Jasper was yelling. Everyone was staring at Alice and me. Great. Now I'm going to have a voice inside my head along with Edwards and along with all that, I see the future! I can still hear you. I wonder how that works. We both sighed at the same time. Emmett was starting to snicker.

"Alex. We can hear each other's thoughts." She said to everyone.

"Cool. Now we get to have ties at chess and wrestling, one less person I will be able to play." Everyone laughed. So? You wanted to show me something…? Oh, Right. Unless you're procrastinating. She hissed.

"It is cool it's great because now I have another subject to experiment on for clothes." I growled.

As long as you don't put me in a dress. Sorry, can't promise anything. Edward smiled. I shied away from my mental contact with Alice so I could ask him something.

Is she serious? He was still smiling but shook his head. Good, that would totally suck. What did I miss? Nothing. Let's go. Which one is your room? Second door to the left. As she thought that she sent me a picture of it.

Thank you. I walked in. Now what did you want to show me? She walked in and went under her bed. On her way out she picked something underneath it. It was a silver bracelet. Just like mine. Only mine was missing half of her locket. My locket had my picture in it and hers had her picture in it. I smiled.

You want to trade? Sure. It might be weird if someone saw a picture of me in my own locket. Ha." I've traveled half the world to say I've found you" I quoted from a song I remembered. She laughed. She showed me the rest of the house. Along with my new bedroom. When we came back down stairs it was night time. Before long I'll start thinking what I mean to say. Then let's hope that day never comes.
