Jasper Pov.
"Calm down Alice. It's okay, promise." I tried soothing Alice not wanting to alert the murderer. Of course it wasn't alright and the promise was an empty one. We weren't going to survive I could only hope Alice would make it out alright by some crazy chance. It was cruel to hope for only her safety but I was scared for her and Rosalie was gone, but I didn't want to think about her.
"Bella, don't go in there." Edward whispered urgently.
"I'm starving Edward." She whispered.
I looked over at Edward, we were communicating through our manly instincts. Emmett may be tough but he had gone through losing her. It would probably be best if Edward and I left the girls with Emmett and went and got food.
"Alice," I untangled her from me but she yelped latching on, "Alice, we're going to leave you and Bella with Emmett were going to go get some food."
She stared up at me scared but slowly nodded. Bella was shaking as she came over and guided Alice to Emmett. They sat huddled around Emmett patting his back and hugging him.
"Come on." I nodded over to the kitchen looking at Edward, he nodded standing up.
We didn't think to turn on lights but the cold atmosphere and the trees around the property gave an appearance of a cloudy afternoon casting slight darkness everywhere around the house.
"You think we should turn on lights?" I asked walking silently across the hall.
"No, I think it could attract…them" Edward drifted off staring at the ceiling.
To think, the cold blooded murderer that killed my sister and planned to kill us was so close to us.
Edward Pov.
We walked a little faster to the kitchen. It felt so much longer to walk there and Jasper stiffened as we made it there. Rosalie was in the room right next to the kitchen.
"Come on man." I patted Jasper on the shoulder leading him to the fridge.
Opening the fridge quietly I looked in for something.
Cookie Dough, Coke, Green Apples, Minties and…Coloured Popcorn?, I thought grabbing the stuff and packing it into mine and Jasper's hands.
"This is so not the right time, but I think the girls bought stuff you would only eat when you watch a chick flick," I laughed, Jasper chuckled a bit, "That's it, laugh and you feel a little better." We made our way back across the hallway with a slightly cheerier mood.
"Don't you think it's wrong to laugh and be happy when were…you know" Jasper said awkwardly.
"I don't think so, death is part of life and even though it's terrible sometimes you have to look on the brighter side, she's in a better place." Bella said soothingly when she came up to grab the candy.
We are got up to sit on the couch and eat. Emmett still looked terrible and in pain but snatched the popcorn off Alice teasingly. They really did need a bit of happiness after what happened. It probably affected them the most.
"Edward!" Emmett whispered throwing popcorn at his head, "You didn't get cups!"
That's the Emmett I unfortunately know, I thought smiling.
"Be right back." I whispered kissing Bella on the cheek.
"But…" Bella began.
"Don't worry I'll be quiet." I answered.
I raced over to the kitchen quietly, Of course a bit freaked out maybe I should have taken Jasper for someone to talk to. Grabbing five cups I made my way back to the door but not before hearing a voice.
"Well, well, well it seems ginger isn't afraid of the big bad murderer." The voice was trickling ice.
So familiar, that voice so haunting. I know that voice. Like a dream, I thought. "Voldermort?" I asked, half mockingly.
"No silly boy, I am…" Without warning they plunged a knife into my stomach, "I guess I won't be telling you who I am."
Next thing I knew I fell to the ground in pain.
"Get up or I'll drag you up the stairs, then your girlfriend might come and I might have to kill her too." The voice threatened.
Painfully I grabbed onto the counter lifting myself up I walked up the stairs. The murderer's knife digging into my back.
"Go faster, wouldn't want to alert them." The murderer threatened.
I made it up and collapsed on the second floor ground.
"Now to finish you off" They smiled lifting up the knife and bringing it back down to slash my neck.
I screamed but it came out gurgling blood still the whimper was hopefully loud enough to alert Jasper or Emmett.
Bella Pov.
We were sitting around the couches eating slowly all staring around the dark lit room. Suddenly I sat up straight after I heard a small noise upstairs. "Edward!" I screamed racing to the stairs.
Jasper and Emmett were faster, latching onto me they pulled my body back as I screeched and wailed trying to get free.
"No, no let me go! They're murdering him!" I yelled.
Emmett let go and went up the stairs but Jasper held me back trying to take me back to the lounge room.
"Bella please don't fight go sit with Alice in the lounge room I have to help Emmett kill this creep." Jasper pleaded.
Sobbing I nodded falling down to the ground.
"Alice…" I whispered.
She was on the other side of the lounge room in the corner Emmett sat.
"Bella, Bella come over here please." She whispered crying.
I crawled over slowly before falling into Alice's arm crying with her.
"Too late…dead…Edward" I mumbled out words as she patted my back soothingly.
Suddenly yells and stomps could be heard from upstairs. We tried getting up but we both held each other back.
"Their fine, absolutely fine." I whispered to Alice.
Emmett Pov.
I raced up the stairs to find Edward's body.
"Too late…" I whispered.
Then I noticed one vital piece of Edward missing, his head.
Jasper ran up the stairs stopping next to me.
I screamed freaked out and Jasper jumped in fright stomping on the ground when he came back down.
"Jasper, Edward doesn't have a head!" I was freaked out, holding onto my neck,"I like my head Jasper, it's a good head" I whimpered.
"Emmett you're going to keep your head but we gotta put Edward somewhere so he keeps the rest of him." Jasper whispered.
Looking around I noticed it was silent and all the doors were closed. Like a hallway of a real murder house. Behind every door could be something deadly.
I picked him up and walked down the stairs.
"We'll put him with Rose" I replied softly.
I don't want to see her again all cold and out of life but we need to get him somewhere safe, sort of. Jasper opened the door to the laundry to reveal and blanket with my love underneath it. I laid Edward down next to her and put the blanket over him too.
"We'll be going here too won't we?" Jasper asked.
"Yeah…" I threw away my masculinity and hugged Jasper he deserved it.
"Okay, okay get off me." He said after a minute.
He closed the door to the laundry and we raced back to the lounge room to find the girls once again huddling and crying.
"Jasper!" Alice cried racing over to hug him.
"Emmett, where's Edward?" Bella asked staring at his bloody clothes.
"Whose blood is that?" She cried.
She knew the answer but she wanted to pretend she didn't to help with the pain. I know how she felt. I sat with her and let her cry out the pain.
Only the beginning, I thought.
