Chapter 13

Unforeseen intruder

Today was cloudy again. Edward decided to drive me and Alice to the mall, which was nice of him but I think he just wanted to see me before Alice would return me home super late. As we arrived in the parking lot of the mall, Alice was now jumping with excitement. There was only one mall close by and that was in Port Angeles. I didn't mind the long drive and now, I didn't mind Edward's speeding. Before I left the car, Edward kissed me on the hand and told me he'd come and pick me up when we were done.

Alice took my hand as I stepped out of the Mustang. Apparently, she was even more excited than before. She finally had a human friend to go shopping with. As Edward said at the dance, my scent was apparently attracted many vampires. Maybe I was attracting Alice too. But I was happy now. After Edward confessed his love to me yesterday, I was now able to enjoy today. Alice wanted to stop first at the clothing store. It seems that she wanted to get me a new outfit. To her, what I had on was completely inappropriate to her.

She started looking through the clothes and found me a few shirts and a lovely dress. Blue was Edward's favourite color and now that we were a couple, she wanted Edward to see me in a different view, or something like that. She had seen in her vision that Edward was going to confess to me yesterday and was extremely excited about us being a couple.

"I'm so happy for you two Jules! You don't know how happy you've made Edward. He's been looking for someone for a long time. And now, we're going to be best friends, I just know it!" She said as she looked through some two-piece ensembles. Suddenly, she found a piece to her liking. She held it up to me and her eyes were full of happiness, once again. "What do you think of this?" I looked at it in detail and stopped to look at the color. My eyes grew wide and I think a tear or two fell out of the corner of my eyes. I closed my eyes and shook my head slightly.

"Please Alice, nothing brown." I said, with my eyes now clear of any tears.

"What's wrong?" She asked sadly, putting the piece back on the rack.

"It's just that… brown was Jeremy's favourite color and I… I just don't think that I can face something like that now. Not after just one day." I said honestly. Alice was now like Edward. I could tell her anything now. We were starting to really bond like best friends.

"I'm sorry. Sure, nothing brown. I can work around that." She said as she looked around again with a smile on her face.

"Is it alright? I mean… if you want me to get that... I…" I said but was abruptly stopped by Alice's finger on my lips. That wasn't fair. She was using her vampire speed on me. But I wasn't very far from her.

"Don't worry about that Jules. I can very well work around things. And besides, if I want to start to know you better, I better start by this."

"You mean clothes? How is that going to help?"

"Well, you just told me that your brother's favourite color was brown so I know that brown is too soon for you. That's getting to know you better. Now, let's get back to work. We've only got a little while before lunch and I want to get you some things before we go back to Edward." She said as she dragged me with the clothes in my hands that she wanted me to try in the end.

Alice made me try on dozen of clothes and she was happy to see me modeling them. I wanted her to enjoy this. She seemed happy to have someone to shop with, other than her siblings, and I was delighted to give her that option. At the end of the modeling, she chose the lovely blue dress that we picked out over an hour ago and a few other pieces that were very nice. Alice kept to her word by saying that it was her treat so, she bought ever article that was acceptable. It would cost her a fortune! I wanted to pay her back but she never allowed me to. She just said that she was happy that she had someone like me.

After shopping for a while, we decided to go back home. We, well I, had eaten my lunch and a few stores later, we decided to call Edward to come and pick us up. He was delighted and came to get us in no time. He probably drove his normal hundred miles per hour. I didn't mind it anymore but it was his way of driving and I hated to be the backseat driver. I sat in the seat next to Edward while Alice sat in the back, probably wanting to give us a little bit of couple time. It felt weird to say that because he was my first love but I got used to it. Edward kept smiling the way home and asking us how our shopping trip was. I tried explaining but Alice was quicker. She was all excited to show them to Edward when we got back to my house that he drove a little faster to please her.

When we arrived at my house, Edward parked the car in the driveway and got out of his car. He arrived at my side of the car in a second and opened the door for me like the gentleman he was. Alice was next to come out with the shopping bags. Alice almost ran at vampire speed to the door of the house and was waiting for us impatiently but we took our time. Edward put his cold arm around my waist and we walked side by side to the house. I opened the door and found no Henry. He must be out with his pals from work or something. I took that advantage and welcomed Alice and Edward inside. I went to put my bags upstairs and we sat in the kitchen, just talking about nothing and everything.

"Thanks for today Jules! It was so much fun!" Alice said with her happy smile. She really was a pixie! Always so happy... and short.

"I have to admit that it was fun. I haven't shopped in a while and it was nice to go with a friend." I said with a smile that didn't come often these days.

"Next time, Edward will have to come with us!" Alice said, now hugging his arm.

"Absolutely not. This is what you and Jules do." Edward said, protesting against Alice.

"Oh come on Eddie! It'll be fun!" Alice said, trying to persuade him into coming with us next time we go shopping.

"No thanks Alice. And I told you not to call me that."

"I like it." I said honestly.

"Alright, alright. You're the only one who can call me Eddie." He said with his crooked smile and Alice still hugging his arm. That moment, Edward and Alice together, it was a nice scene. I always loved to draw people and it would be amazing to try to capture the picture of vampires. I wondered…

"Edward, Alice, can you guys stay like that for a while?" I asked, my hand on my chin, thinking how to capture the scene.

"What do you mean?" Edward asked.

"Just Alice hugging you and you looking at me. I'd love to draw you two. Maybe we could go outside. The lighting's much better." I said, now looking out the window. "Do you mind?"

"No, no! It's a great idea! Let's go! I can't wait to see it!" Alice said, now getting up fast and walking outside at vampire speed. I was now jealous of their speed. I wish I could be a vampire.

Edward followed Alice while I ran up the stairs to get my drawing pad; a pencil; and an eraser. I was surprised that I didn't hurt myself in a while. I fasted walked to the desk and accidentally hit my right arm on it. It really hurt. I tried to hold a scream because of Edward. He could hear me from a mile away with his super vampire powers. I looked at my arm and saw that some blood sipped into the bandage just now. And the scratch Henry gave me was getting a little infected. I tried stretching the gauze and was able to put it over top the scratch without it hurting too much. It was a good thing I was wearing a long sleeve shirt.

I grabbed my sketch pad and drawing equipments and ran down the stairs, being careful not to hit my arm again. It was still hurting but less than before. When I arrived at the front door, I opened it and Edward became stiff on the balcony, along with Alice. They turned to look at me and their normally golden topaz eyes were now dark grey. Oh no… Something must have happened.

"What?" I asked, going towards them but they were in front of me in an instant.

"Jules, are you bleeding?" Edward asked me with worrisome eyes.

"A little but…" I started saying but he was sniffing around to try and find where the blood was coming from and he found it seconds later on my arm. What he just did was a little creepy but it was him. Vampires could smell blood and find where it came from easily. He started rolling up my sleeve and it stung a little. His eyes widened when he saw my reddish arm. My arm was getting worse by the day.

"This looks pretty bad." Alice said. She was worried too by the sound of her voice. I didn't like it to worry people like that. I took my arm back slowly and Edward was now staring at me with worry in his dark eyes.

"It's nothing big. I'm going to the doctor's on Monday to get my stitches removed. I'll talk to him about it."

"Does it hurt?"

"Not much. I can handle a little pain Edward. Now, you guys sit down on the porch and I'll start drawing you guys." I said as I went to sit down on the front steps of the porch and they sat in the wooden chairs.

I started drawing after they took the same places from the kitchen. Alice now had her head on his shoulder and Edward was looking at me with his still dark eyes. He probably needed to hunt soon so I would let him go after I drew them. It took a while until I had them perfectly on my pad. I drew them almost in perfection. The details were there and I captured their expressions perfectly. But I looked at Edward on my picture. His eyes… I had seen them somewhere else in my dreams. Especially the one from last night…

I was in the battlefield again. I was trying to find the exit out of this forest but I couldn't find it. I tried and screamed for help but I was pretty beaten up and tired. I stumbled over a rock and fell to the ground. I stared into the dark forest and saw seven pair of golden topaz eyes, staring at me with anger. But where was Edward? I watched the eyes and now I saw their shining white teeth. They bared their teeth at me with a growl ripping across each of their chests. I tried standing up but before I knew it, they crouched and they were ready to attack. Their eyes changed from golden topaz to coal black. I could barely see them in the dark forest. I couldn't even see their figures. Just their eyes and teeth. They were now ready to attack. I tried screaming for help but they sprung at me. NO!

"Jules?" I heard an angelic voice break through the battlefield.

I awoke from the memory and dropped the sketch pad on the floor. My eyes were wide as I stared at Alice and Edward. They looked at me with worried eyes, again. I don't know how long I looked at the picture but somehow, it must have gotten them worried. I picked it up off the porch and started finished the drawing.

"Are you alright?" Edward asked.

"You seem scared or something." Alice commented.

"No… I'm just… looking into nothing, I guess." I couldn't tell them about the dreams because they reminded me so much of them. I finished the drawing in no time and I liked it. "Done." I said as I put the pencil and eraser down on the porch. Alice had a smile on her face and wanted to see my drawing so badly.

"Let's see!" She said impatiently. I handed her the sketch pad and they both looked at the picture. They were stunned at what they saw. "Jules, this is amazing!" She said as she looked at herself even more. "You drew us perfectly! I can't believe this! It's incredible!" She kept giving me compliments about my drawing but Edward kept looking at himself. He was astonished at how he was captured on a picture. I had taken him with more detail but in my perspective, it was very well done.

"Thanks…" I said with a low voice. I didn't know what else to say that I left it at that.

"This is magnificent Jules. Have you done any other drawings like this?" Edward asked me, now staring at me with his coal black eyes.

"Just a few but… they're not that good." I said but Alice was already one step ahead of me. She started looking through my other drawings in the book and was amazed by the look on her face. Edward looked at them also and was impressed. It showed on both their faces how they seemed to like them.

"Not that good?! They're amazing Jules! You should show these to someone! They're unbelievable!" Alice said as she handed me my pad back.

"I guess. I haven't paid much attention to that. I've been a little busy the past few days." I said with a little humour in my voice. Edward had his crooked smile on and Alice was just excited as always. What a pixie… Always excited…

Suddenly, there was a puff of smoke that erupted behind me. Edward and Alice both got up from their seats and became stiff. I didn't know what was behind me and I didn't want to take any chances. At that moment, I turned around and saw someone in a black cape. I couldn't see him very carefully because his hood was hiding his face. All I could see what his mouth. Without thinking, I got up and went right next to Edward and Alice. They both stood in front of me to protect me but I didn't know who and what this person was.

"Who are you?" Edward asked with his sturdy voice.

The intruder smiled and jumped right at Alice at an extremely fast speed. He pushed her aside and she flew straight across the porch and onto the floor with a big thud. She just lay there, seeming to be in pain.

"Alice!" I screamed, hoping that she could hear me. The intruder came in front of me to attack me with razor sharp blades across his fingers but Edward was in front of me with his right hand in front of the intruder. The interloper scratched Edward across the hand with his blades and it hurt Edward badly.

The intruder smiled and disappeared in a puff of smoke in front of us. Alice was still on the ground, almost motionless, and Edward grasped his hand with his other, seeming to be in pain.

"Edward!" I said as I went right next to him. I took his hand off of the wound and saw the horrible scratch. There were three large dark purple scratches that covered the whole length of his hand. What could that intruder have done to do such a scratch?

"I'll be fine. It's just a scratch." Edward said before turning his attention to Alice, now lying on the ground, twitching slightly. She didn't look so good. Edward walked towards her with me by his side and his face was contorted with worry. When we arrived to her, she was twitching with pain and one hand gripping her stomach in pain. This pain reminded me of something I learned many years ago.

"Alice! Alice, can you hear me?" He asked but Alice would just wince in pain. Now I knew where I'd seen this scene before! It was supposed to be just a legend but I guess not.

"Alice, what's wrong?" Edward asked, now petting Alice's arm, trying to comfort her from the pain. He was helpless in this battle against this kind of magic.

"Edward, let me try something. I think I can help." I said as I put my hand over Alice's hand and pushed it away from her stomach. Edward was confused about what I was trying to do but I could help Alice get better… I think. I punched my finger into many spots of Alice's stomach and then, placed my hand gently on her stomach. Somehow, Alice jolted like someone trying to revive someone with jolts. Suddenly, Alice started coughing and gasping for unnecessary air but she was back to normal.

"Jules… how did you…?" Edward asked in astonishment as he watched Alice trying to get back to her normal self. She was taking some unnecessary air and trying to open her eyes with no success. I sat down, now exhausted by the amount of energy I put into that manoeuvre, but almost collapsed to the ground.

"I'll explain later… Alice will be weak… for a few minutes… But she'll be fine…" I tried saying but my voice was gargled with exhaustion. I couldn't feel myself anymore. Edward's expression went from confused to worry. I guess he saw that my expression was now starting to turn bleak.

"Jules, what's wrong?" He said before I started to fall backwards from my sitting position. He got up and was behind me in no time. He probably ran over to me at vampire speed so that he could catch me. My eyes were starting to close on their own and I could faintly hear Edward's voice.

"Jules! Can you hear me? Jules! Jules, say something! Please!" Edward almost shouted. My head was starting to throb and I wanted to sleep. I winced at the loudness of his voice.

"Not so loud… I'm fine Edward… Just tired…" My voice was barely over a whisper. I looked at Edward's face one last time before my vision got blurry. I closed my eyes and drifted to sleep.

Well, what do you guys think? What happened out there? And will Jules be alright? And what about Alice? What happened to her? All these questions will be answered in the next chapter!!! Please review!!
