Alice Cullen's POV
Fast moving pictures like a fast forwarding movie flashed through my mind. Bella was still in bed holding back screams of pain when Edward's hair suddenly blocked my view. The vision faded to black. I relaxed and tried to float calmly out of my present state but I felt something grab my mind and pull me back. I saw the whole family crowded around the bed in Carlisle and Esme's room. My vision zoomed in slowly throw the circle and to the object of attention. Bella was lying in the bed with countless covers where her small, pasty white face stuck out, slightly bonier than usual. But… but… she wasn't a vampire. Tremors went through my body making me shake uncontrollably. I tried desperately to free myself from my vision shooting pain down my spine. I didn't want to see any more. I ran quickly to the bedroom piecing it together on my way. Edward. I ripped the door open not caring that it would probably break something and ran head long into the crouching Edward at Bella's bedside.
"What are you doing?!" I screeched and pulled him off.
"No!" he roared, "I…. Need to." He choked out desperately. I scrambled to get a hold of him, of anything to keep him from her. He spun around and faced me, his eyes reflecting the madness within. I wouldn't be able to stop him. With one quick movement he back handed me, sending me shooting across the room. My back slammed against the wall and I lay frozen in shock, my eyes wide and hurt. Recognition flickered across his face as he stood there motionless looking at me in shock.
"I…I...I…Alice I…" Edward staggered and ran to the farthest corner in the room. There he collapsed hugging his knees to his chest, rocking back and forth whispering, "No. No. No…" I sat there silently, slowly taking it all in, eyes wide.
"Alice!" Jasper. "Alice! Alice,areyouok?Whathappened?LookatmeAlice. Alice?" I slowly turned my head and looked at him. Then everything started to register quickly. Esme and Carlisle were trying desperately to get a hold of Edward while Rosalie leaned in the door way and Emmett was picking up the broken pieces of door and taking them down stairs.
"Oh my god Jasper! Edward he… Edward!" I turned my attention to Edward with Esme and Carlisle crouching at his side, fruitlessly trying to get Edward to come around and marched over. He is going to get one hell of a tongue lashing from someone who has a high voice when I'm through with him!
"Edward!!! I cannot believe you just did that! What were you thinking! That she was going to die, become eternally damned! Well you know what? She might actually die!" I didn't even wait for it to sink in to his dead head, "And I don't mean walking and talking, moving and shaking like we vampires do!" I definitely had his attention now but he was looking at me with shock in his face but still a bit blank. My god it's like talking to a 4 year old! "My god, Edward! She wants to be like us! It's her life and she gets to do what she wants to do with it. It's about her, not about you!" I fumed
"That's just it, I want her to live her li—"
"I want! I want! I want! Well you know what all the rest of us want?! We want her forever, and she wants to stay forever… and you forever. Okay?" Again with the shocked expression, at least it's not blank any more.
For all the sick minded people out there tongue lashing is NOT wipping someone with your tongue, it's giving someone a verbal lashing.
