It's been a week since Alice's vision.
Storm clouds loom above us and I'm on high alert; I jump at every little noise.
As I lean against the window, a water drop falls.
I scream and scurry over to Jasper's lap. He sees the rain, too.
His phone buzzes.
Alice: A, D, and F are coming. We have J and 2 others I don't know. Carlisle has the big 3
"Alec, Demetri, and Felix are coming," Jasper says.
I squeal and curl up against his chest.
I know it's possible to change what may happen, but I'm still scarred of my death, that seems to be creeping closer and closer.
Benjamin pulls off an exit.
"Where are we going?" I ask.
"I got to get gas," he answers.
"Horrible timing," Jasper says.
"I can't help it."
While Benjamin pumps the gas, I drag Jasper inside, saying I have to handle myself.
We go into that bathroom; thank goodness it only has one stall. Jasper leans against the door and I start pacing. I take out my pocket knife and flip it open. If I survive this, I'll need to sharpen it. I make five perfectly even, perfectly parallel, perfectly identical cuts. I flip it closed as someone knocks on the door.
I go to speak, but Jasper holds a finger to his mouth and shakes his head. He types 'A+D' on his phone.
For five minutes, we stand perfectly still and don't make a noise.
"We know you're in there," a voice growls. It must be Demetri because I don't recognize it.
"Get out. Now," Alec growls.
His smoke creeps under the door.
"We'll come with you," I say with no trace of fear.
Jasper looks at me like I'm crazy. He's probably right.
He unlocks the door and opens it.
Alec and Demetri are standing shoulder to shoulder. They both wear jeans and skin tight black long sleeve shirts; their hair is wind-blown. If they weren't about to kill me, I'd say they were sexy.
Demetri grabs Jasper's arm and Alec mine and they drag us out.
Outside, Felix has guard over Emmett and Benjamin.
"Get in the car," Demetri snarls.
So that we all fit, I sit in Jasper's lap.
Demetri and Emmett are in the back with us, Felix is driving, Benjamin has shotgun, and Alec runs beside us.
Five minutes after we pull out of the gas station, I hear sirens.
I look at how fast Felix is driving.
Over 100.
"Phase," Jasper whispers in my ear.
"Not around them."
When I phase back, I won't have cloths on. I'm absolutely not going to let a car overflowing with guys see me nude.
"Phase into a dog. Your cloths will be fine and I'm sure they don't want to see you either."
"Fine."
I phase into a scruff Yorkie. I yap at Jasper. He smirks.
Felix pulls over and rolls the window down.
The cop walls up and, by his badge, his name is J. Evans.
"License and registration," he says.
"What for?" Felix asks.
Playing it dumb. Way to go genius.
"Do you have any idea how fast you were going?"
I stand on the back of Felix's seat and yap.
"Hello, darling. What's your name?" he asks.
Does he expect me to answer?
"This Emma," Jasper says, stroking my back.
I wag my tail and yap.
"Well, hello, Emma."
I yap.
"I do not know how fast I was going," Felix says.
"Over a hundred. License and registration, please."
"This is my brother's first ticket, officer. Is there any way you could cut him some slack?" Jasper asks.
J. Evans looks at Jasper and I know Jasper is messing with his feelings.
"Alright, I'll cut you some slack. Try to stay under 80," he says and walks away.
As Felix drives away, I curl up in Jasper's lap; he strokes my back.
"Aro won't like her like that," Demetri says.
"I know. She'll change later," Jasper answers for me.
I lean over the edge of the seat and tug at my clothes. Comprehension shows on Demetri's face and he smirks. I phase into a monkey and get my phone off the floor. I type:
If you're gonna think about me naked, don't make it obvious
I hand my phone to Demetri and he chuckles.
I phase into a white husky and stretch out across Jasper and Demetri's laps. Demetri pushes me onto the floor.
I look up at him at him and snarl; baring my teeth.
"Emma," Jasper warns.
I get up and sit on his lap, wagging my fluffy tail in Demetri's face.
Jasper's phone buzzes. He glances at Demetri, who doesn't stop him, and pulls out his phone.
Alice: they're driving you to a field. Carlisle's group is already there. See you soon
Their plans have changed. Maybe I won't die today.
I look at Jasper.
"Don't get your hopes up," he says.
