Older Grandpa

Chapter Fourteen

Alice's POV

"Good morning Alice, I trust you slept well?" a strange woman greeted me.

"Yeah," I smiled.

"I have prepared breakfast, please come and eat," she looked happy, too happy.

I skipped into the kitchen and sat down. Everyone else was there as well, except . . . Esme! Where was Esme?

"I made eggs for everyone," the woman said placing plates in front of each of us.

I pulled out of my vision, "what did you see?" Jasper asked hovering to make sure I had no mental trauma.

"The sun will be out until Wednesday, we don't have to go to school," I lied. Not completely, I had seen that earlier.

Why was Esme not there, and why was there that strange woman? I would have to get to the bottom of this.

"Dad?" I called dancing through the rooms looking for Carlisle.

"I'm in the kitchen," he called.

I ran to the kitchen and stopped in front of him, "the sun will be out until Wednesday, I suggest calling in sick. I know it is still Sunday, but I thought I should tell you.

"Thank you Alice," he said ruffling my hair.

I needed to talk to Esme about my vision . . . I'll take her hunting just the two of us.

"Mom?" I asked, she turned to acknowledge me but said nothing, "do you want to go hunting with me? Just the two of us?" I saw she would say yes, so it was just the fact of telling her.

"Sure Alice, I'll go with you. Just let me change," she wiped her hands with a cloth to rid of whatever she was making for Nessie.

Half an hour later we were in the middle of the forest, I sat down on a rock and sighed.

"What's wrong sweety?" Esme said sitting beside me.

"I had a vision earlier. You weren't there, and there was a strange woman making us EAT eggs!" I exclaimed.

"Don't worry sweety. You can't tell anyone but I signed us up for wife swap. Bella and Edward will have to live at the house for two weeks, and I will be reorganizing the bedrooms. You cannot think about it though, Edward cannot know!" she warned me.

"I won't. I was just worried something had happened to you," I would have had tears in my eyes if I could.

"Well do you want to go home or do you want to stay here for a while?" she asked.

"Can we stay for a little longer?" I asked sinking into her side. "We finished all of our work in English and our teacher is going to make us watch Buffy the vampire slayer. I am going to get sent to the office and you are going to be called in on Wednesday," I said hoping she wouldn't be mad, "everyone else is going to have to watch as well, unless you excuse them."

"Of course he is going to choose that to watch," she sighed. "When you are told you will be watching that, tell him that you are not allowed to watch the show."

"Thanks. That show creeps me out!" I laughed.

"We should probably get back now, everyone will be wondering where we are," she pulled me up with her.

"Okay!" I said running ahead and pulling her with me. We ran all the way home, laughing, and talking.

I stopped dead in my tracks.

"Alice, just because we are sharing a room for two weeks does NOT mean you can play Bella barbie every night!" Bella said backing away from me.

"Please Bella? Just once? Pleaaase," I asked cornering her.

"No!" she screamed.

"But Nessie is letting Rose give her a makeover!" I complained.

"Yeah and Jasper is probably doing the same to Emmett," she said sarcastically.

"No actually I think that they are making over Edward," I rebutted.

"That is not the point Alice!" she screamed ducking under my arms.

"What did you see?" Esme asked as I came back to reality.

"I get to share a room with Bella!" I laughed.
