The Hunt: Part 3: A Rocky Conclusion

I was trapped

There was a grizzly bear behind me, a wall of rocks in front of me, and an angry vampire circling me. I knew that no matter what move I made, Rosalie would attack me before I could escape. This wasn't helping! Edward was locked in a deadly fight with Emmett and I was powerless to do anything. The only thing left to do was try and calm Rosalie down.

"Rosalie, you don't have to do this," I said, in an attempt to sway her, my Jasper power kicking in.

"Yes…I…DO!" She yelled the last word.

"But why?" I stalled, the longer before she attacked the longer I had for my power to breach her.

"Because you messed everything up!" her face wrinkled as she tried to get free of my spell. She was doing a pretty good job too; there was still a lot of anger in her.

"I messed what up?" my voice was so saccharine-sweet that even I was disgusted to hear it.

"You took Edward from me!"

Whoa! I hadn't expected that! I took a step back in disbelief and my concentration holding Rosalie broke, she instantly became malicious again.

"But you have Emmett?" I was confused

"Yes, now, but I was supposed to have Edward, but he rejected me! REJECTED! I've never been rejected before! Then you come along and he falls head over heels in love,"

Rosalie was talking like a crazy person, her voice bordering on hysteria. I had to end this, quick. Not only because this was uncomfortable but also because the grizzly bear was about to attack. It hadn't yet only because of the landslide. And now that that was over he was scared and ready to defend his territory with his life. I was afraid it might come to that.

"Do you think I planned any of this?" I asked her, slowly bending down (BEN DOVER! Ok, ok back to the story). Rosalie was so out of it that she didn't notice my slight movement.

"No, but soon Edward will feel the same anguish I felt all those years ago. He will feel how its like, when I kill you!"

"Rosalie, you can't kill me. For one thing I am a newborn and am nearly indestructible. Secondly this is only a fit of anger, you'll regret it later. And lastly if I'm dead what makes you think Edward won't try and follow, like last time? Is that what you really want?"

Her features softened, "Not really."

I was almost there. Just a little bit longer and Rosalie would be finished. It also didn't help that my powers had finally penetrated her.

"Listen Rosalie, I'm sorry for everything I've done. I didn't mean to take Edward from you, and I really didn't mean to walk in on you today," I made my voice the sincerest It could be.

"Well, you should be sorry!" Rosalie broke, "And I guess I'm sorry too, I've made a mess of things again, haven't I?"

I didn't need to answer.

"Friends?" I asked, relieved.

"Friends,"

We hugged. It was like two boulders bashing together. But as long as this hug wasn't a ploy to strangle me, I wasn't complaining. Unfortunately the bear attacking interrupted the sappy moment. It sprang towards us, all teeth and claws. Spit flew from its open growling mouth. I spun around, picked up and threw the huge rock I had found when talking to Rosalie. It expertly landed on the bear's head, right between its two eyes. Half way through the air the bear groaned and dropped, falling to the floor with a thud. Thankfully it was still alive, I could hear its heart beating.

"Thanks, I owe you," Rosalie said, with new found respect for me.

Our moment didn't last long outside a voice was heard.

"Killed each other yet?"

Rosalie and I looked at each other hopefully.

"Alice, is that you?" I asked.

"The one and only. Sorry I didn't come sooner. It has hard pulling Edward and Emmett apart,"

"Are they okay?"

"Just dandy," I could hear the sarcasm in her voice, "At least physically they are. But both are still as mad as hornets,"

"That's good, I guess,"

"So, what should we do to get out?" Rosalie asked, not because we couldn't but because she didn't want to start another landslide.

"Hold on," Alice called.

I heard her back up, then run at the wall with a Tarzan like yell. She collided with the rocks with massive force, and they crumbled into dust. At least, most of them. The rest of the rocks just fell away, with nothing to support them. Alice pushed the remaining rocks away and entered the cave. Both Rosalie and I held our breaths. Praying another landslide wouldn't happen. After a long pause, everything seem to be still, so we rushed out to greet our saviour. And she truly did look like some kind of god. The sunlight streamed in, illuminating her back, and spreading out in a halo around her, only intensifying her beauty. Alice didn't look frazzled at all, a huge pixie like grin plastered to her face. As Rosalie and I bumbled towards her, Alice took dainty steps, meeting us in the middle.

"Thank god we're out of there," Rosalie said.

Even though I could see were she was coming from, I was still hurt. It hadn't been the best experience ever, I admit, but we bonded. At least I thought it was special.

"So," Rosalie began as she slung her arms around Alice and I, "Should be go rescue the boys now?"

There was a silence for a moment. Then the three of us burst out laughing.

When we finally got back to the jeep Emmett and Edward were on opposite ends of the clearing, lost in daydreams.

"What did you do to them?" I asked Jasper, lifting up one of Edward's eyelids without him responding.

He shrugged. "I thought they could use a time out,"

On the way home the jeep was plunged into silence. Each of us lost in our own thoughts. I didn't know about the rest of them but I was recalling everything that had happened today. The only sound that could be heard was the rumbling of the jeep engine. Even Edward didn't breath. As we drove into the sunset I was suddenly struck with a wave of exhaustion. Everything that had happened came crashing down on me. Even though I knew I couldn't actually sleep I closed my eyes as the hush of twilight fell over the earth.

It had been one heck of a day.
