Ashes To Ashes-Chapter Ten: Fight
Alice POV
I was frozen in place, staring at him. His mouth was latched to her neck and he was still sucking. I could feel myself tense and felt a vision coming, but I pushed it back. I ignored it, not welcoming it like I usually would. I didn't need to be distracted. "Edward.." His head snapped up and he growled then looked at me. "Ah...Alice.." He stood up fast and was in front of me, I had to hold my breath because of the blood...it was everywhere. He was holding the girl up, his hand on the front of her neck. "What brings you here?" I stared at him, he was really asking that? "I..saw.." I trailed off looking at the girl. He glanced at her also then dropped her. I didn't hear a heartbeat...her eyes were shut and I swallowed venom back. "So..you've discovered...or well, seen my little secret." He smiled dark at me and I backed up.
Edward POV
I stepped towards Alice, she backed away from me and I stopped. She was afraid? This was weird even for her. I searched inside her head, I couldn't hear any thoughts, nothing except for the replay of what she saw when I was draining the girl. I sighed and stepped towards her. "Alice you have to understand I didn't mean to-"
"Edward you-" She cut me off from my lie then stopped talking herself and froze. I could tell she was having a vision, I stood still and searched inside her head.
I could see everything, her and me talking this through, her not promising to keep it a secret, her going to the rest of the family. Carlisle hearing, then Esme, Bella, Jasper..Nessie. I also saw Bella speaking to Emmett about taking Nessie to La Push...then me having guards while hunting. She snapped out of the vision when I growled. She stepped back from me and I made fists.
I wouldn't let that happen, I wouldn't let everything be ruined. "Edward it doesn't have to go exactly like that...we can figure out something!" I growled and grabbed Alice by the throat and pinned her against the tree. "Figure out something? Your going to ruin every damn thing I have Alice!" I growled and tightened my hand on her throat and she stilled. Another vision...what this time? Everything planning out worse?
I paid close attention, seeing everything. Us fighting, her getting pinned and me...
I snapped out of it when she did and she stared at me. "No.." I thought about it, I knew I shouldn't but still...the idea...and she saw it...
"Forgive me Alice." I spoke lowly and threw her over my shoulder then grabbed her by the wrist and slammed her on the ground.
Alice POV
After he slammed me on the ground I kicked his knees and jumped up, I flipped onto his back, grabbing him by the neck and flipping him over into the tree behind us. I turned around and saw he wasn't there. "Edward...stop this!" I started seeing him attack me from the right side, I turned quickly and saw nothing. "What.." I felt arms go around my waist from the left and I was pulled across the border line and slammed into two trees. "Split decision sister." I flipped up and kicked him in the face, he fell back slightly and I got up and ran.
Edward POV
I could hear her thoughts, see all the visions she was having. Now she was running towards home. I knew how to get around her visions as much as Bella had when she was human. I jumped in the tree and followed. "Alice this doesn't have to be this way. If you would just keep your pixie mouth SHUT!" I jumped down on a branch and made my decision of jumping behind her and ripping off her arms. I saw her still slightly, she was still running but tense. I grinned and made the split decision, I jumped to the tree above her and grabbed her by the hair and jumped down, slamming her on the ground and pinning her arms above her head with one hand. "Gotcha."
Alice POV
"No! I won't say anything Edward just NO!" I pulled at my arms and he slammed them into the ground hard. I growled and felt his arm move around my neck. "I'm sorry Alice...but...I can't take that chance..." I phased out, seeing what he was about to do. I knew then that nothing would change his mind.
My last thoughts were of how much I loved Jasper...
E-POV
I yanked off Alice's head and dropped both it and her body. I stayed still for a moment, not moving and just looked at her body. I was trying to convince myself it was the best way. But I knew it wasn't, but it was the only way. She never would have stayed quiet. I sighed heavily then ripped the rest of her apart. I tried ignoring what he last thoughts had been, there was many flashes of her and Jasper. When they first met, when they married and the new born training fight. I'd feel regret later...I always did. I pushed her body into a pile then went back and found the dead girl, I searched in her pockets until I found a lighter then I went back to Alice.
I lit the lighter and just looked at the pile for a moment. "...Rest in pieces..." I threw the lighter on her body and watched the fire consume it all. I stayed silent as I cleaned up my mess, scrubbing my scent off and away from the area, off the dead girl and ripped her neck so it looked like a bite from a lion then added scratches on her. I made sure nothing pointed towards me then I left the area, hunting down deers until my eyes were back to brown.
