As we entered the house I couldn't help but admire it. All of the furniture was in the exact place it had been almost 60 years ago, bringing back so many memories.
"Since we only have 4 bedrooms in the house you're going to have to stay in the pool house Bella, is that okay?" Alice asked me as we headed towards the backyard; Rosalie had excused herself but said she would be back in a few minutes.
"No that's fine, but Alice when did you guys get a pool?" I asked with interest, in all the time I had known them I had only ever seen one Cullen go swimming and only then with a little persuasion. It was the summer after me and Edward had first met and I had somehow managed to guilt trip Alice into going with me to the community pool one day when I was bored. At that exact moment we walked through the back door to see a huge pool sitting in the Cullens backyard, complete with a hot tub.
"Remember the time when you made me go with you to the pool one summer?" she asked while trying to hide a smile.
"Yes…" I had no idea where this was going.
"Well, even though I would never admit it," she finally couldn't hold it back and soon was smiling from ear to ear "I had a great time in the water, so when we moved back here I decided to build a pool so I could go swimming whenever I wanted."
"But…but…"I couldn't help but laugh. The memory of Alice in the water was clear in my memory. She had seemed as if she hated it, grumbling the whole way and asking every five minutes whether we were leaving soon. "You seemed like you hated it so much."
"I did, but only because I hated to be in the same water as everyone else in town." She wrinkled up her nose. "At least this way I know it's clean."
My laughter finally ended and I noticed we stood in front of a small house like structure. It was white, exactly like the main house and had huge glass windows with beige borders on each side of the door. There were steps leading up to the main entrance which had a porch just above it. It was beautiful.
"Did Esme design this?" I asked as I took in the amazing house.
"Of course, she hadn't designed anything in years so she jumped at the opportunity. Come on, we have to show you the inside too." I hadn't noticed but Rosalie had appeared sometime during Alices little story and helped drag me through the doors.
The inside was just as beautiful; the back side of the wall was made entirely from glass and had a wrap around porch. The walls were painted white with a black border and all of the furniture was made out of black leather. The rest of the house was the same, except with random splashes of colored furniture that stood out.
"And I get to stay here?" I asked as we entered the bedroom and jumped on the bed.
"Duh, and we'll be staying with you!" Alice was jumping excitedly up and down while Rosalie hauled two suitcases through the door.
"You guys packed? You live two seconds away!" I couldn't help but roll my eyes at the amount of clothes they had brought.
"So we didn't want to leave and go change every day, and plus if it means getting away from the demon for a couple of days I'm up for it." Rosalie said as she sat down on the bed beside me and Alice.
"So what exactly did Janice do to get on your bad side?" I asked eager to find out what she had really done.
Rosalies face automatically changed into a murderous expression as soon as I asked. "Well, about 2 years ago we moved back here since all of us wanted to. We found her while hunting and Alice here thought it would be fun to invite her back to the house." Rosalie shot a glare at Alice who stared right back.
"Hey its not like I knew she was a bitch at the time, I thought it would be fun to have another girl in the house. Ever since Bella left nothing exciting ever happened so I decided that it might be fun." Alices arms were now crossed across her chest as she leaned back against the headboard.
"Well anyway she seemed nice at first and everyone liked her, especially Esme and Carlisle. Edward had taken a liking to her and finally smiled in god knows how many years, so Esme and Carlisle asked her if she would like to stay and live with us, you know permanently."
I hadn't noticed but I was clutching the bed comforter tightly. I guess he really does like her. Obviously they noticed the poor comforter in the death grip I now had it in and knew exactly what i was thinking.
"He missed you" Alice whispered. My head automatically snapped up.
"What?" my voice was but a whisper.
"It was so hard for him to leave you, but he did and it hurt him more then you'll ever know. He still loves you Bella, even if you don't think he does." I was expecting to be comforted from Alice but hearing this from Rosalie was shocking. If i were still human i was sure i would be crying my eyes out.
"I still love him too, but now he has Janice" i said quietly, my voice filled with sadness.
"Thats only because shes a manipulative, backstabbing bitch who uses her powers to get what ever she wants" Rosalies screamed as she jumped up off the bed and started pacing back and forth.
"What exactly are her powers?" i asked now interested in the topic, I hadn't even thought about it.
"Well," Alice began talking as i turned to face her again "shes able to persuade people with her voice, and she can also seduce men when she wants to." I had never seen Alice look so disgusted in my life.
"So you never did finish the story, what exactly did she do?" I was so interested in our little rabbit trail that i forgot about the story, but now i wanted to know the ending.
"So one day me and Alice decided we wanted to go up to Port Angeles to go shopping. Carlisle, Esme and Edward were off on some hunting trip and weren't going to be back for another day. We asked Janice if she wanted to come with us but she said she would rather just stay home with Jasper and Emmett. So we left a little before noon and were finished our shopping earlier then we expected. We were driving home when we noticed that Jaspers car was gone so we thought he probably went to go rent another game or something. So we walked in and well, she uh she was.." Rosalie looked as if she was on the verge of tears, and soon enough was quietly sobbing on the bed. Janices powers quickly came to mind and everything clicked.
"She tried to seduce Emmett didn't she?" i asked quietly. Alice nodded while trying to comfort her sister. How could she hurt Rosalie like that, i didn't blame them for hating her. If it was me i probably would have killed her by now.
"Why didn't you tell someone? Carlisle or Esme?" I asked, i knew that their adopted parents would have kicked her out as soon as they found out what she had done.
"We did! We told them everything, even Emmett talked to them!" Alices eyes were burning with hatred.
"And they didn't believe you?" I was shocked and i was positive that it showed on my face.
"No, that little bitch used her other talent to manipulate them into believing her. She said that she never did anything and that we were just trying to get back at her."
"Back at her for what?!" I was standing up now my anger slowly growing.
"Nothing! We never did anything to her! The sad thing is they actually believed her over us, even Edward did and he could see the images in our heads! We're almost positive she persuaded him into believe her lies." Alice was yelling now, while Rosalie sat on the bed trying to compose herself.
"We have to get her back, but how?" I said determined to get Janice back for all the pain she had caused to my friends, my family.
"Theres only one thing Janice really cares about in the world, if you were to take him back it would break her." Alice said as she paced back and forth.
"You, you want me to take Edward away from her?" my eyes widened as i confirmed her plan.
"Exactly" Alice said as her and Rosalie just stared at me."Will you do it?"
I thought about it for a few minutes then slowly nodded my head as i answered, "Yes". I knew that i wasn't only doing it to get back at Janice but also for selfish reasons. I wanted Edward back no matter how many times i told myself i didn't."
"Perfect" Alice and Rosalie said in unison as i watched an evil grin spread across both their faces.
"Well then," Rosalie said as she stood up "let the games begin."
Hope you guys liked it. I'll try and update ASAP. Oh and if anyone is wondering what the pool house Bellas staying in looks like there are pictures on my profile :)
