CHAPTER SEVEN

Alice Cullen

~The Evil Man~

-2-

I found his face disgusting to look at. Think of the many people he had killed. His eyes were shining clear red, so it couldn't have been long since he had killed one. His eyes locked on me, he had always found me fascinating or, more correctly, he had always found my ability fascinating. He knew my ability would be a lot of help to The Volturi. But I would never join them!

"Carlisle. Alice." He said and smiled to us, his voice was full with joy. "My old friends. It's great seeing you. How are you? What brings you to my home in this time?"

"Hello, my friend. I think you know why we are here." Carlisle answered with the same joy. I just nodded slowly - I was going to try and not say anything, it was better that way.

"You wanted to meet me, perhaps." He said giving Carlisle a quick glance and then he lay his eyes on me again. He knew. He was only lying. It was not hard to understand, to see.

"No. We're here because two of your guards are in our territory, we would like them to be removed." Carlisle said, speaking with a higher tone on the word removed. "You must understand that we do not at all like being pushed into something."

"Yes, yes. Of course." Aro said, but he couldn't hide his amusement away from his voice - it rang in every corner and was not hard to spot.

"By tomorrow." Carlisle ended the sentence.

"But there is more to the story, isn't there. Like that girl you have kidnapped." Aro said and grinned at our faces. "Well, she actually lived a couple of months here under my roof. She belongs to my guards, and therefor me."

"She has her own free will, and has the right to walk where she wants. We are not the ones holding her back," Carlisle said

"Then what is?" he asked and stood up. "Because she clearly loves her siblings and doesn't want to be without them."

"She may love them, but that doesn't keep her from being terrified of you." I hissed and stepped forwards. "She is afraid of you, of what you are making her siblings do." I took a deep breath, a breath I did not need. "Aro, you have to step back because we won't. We will do everything in our power to keep this girl alive, and keep her away from you and your slaves." I shot a glance at Carlisle to see if he was with me, he took one step forwards and stood motionless by my side.

Aro smiled to me. He loves watching me when I let my anger take control, but I won't give him more of that amusement. "And what makes you think that I won't keep her alive here, in my own home?"

"When you say alive, you meen; walk, talk, eat blood. You simply means her being changed. We want her to stay human." Carlisle said calmly.

"I have read the thoughts of my two young friends, and they have no other wish than to keep her human. Why would I turn them against me?" he chuckled.

"They are going to be removed by tomorrow or it will be war." Carlisle said, turned around and started walking.

"You are already leaving? You don't want to stay and get something to drink?" Aro called after him and laughed.

"No, we are finished here." I said coldly, then turned around and marched after Carlisle.

"Is he going to do it?" Carlisle asked just as we were out of range.

I tried seeing at home, tried to see around Katie who made it so much more difficult for me, and I nodded. "Yes, he will try and make them come back, but they won't leave her."

Carlisle sighed. "This is going to be hard."

"We will make it." I said simply. "It's two against ten."

"But I don't want to fight them, you know I don't like killing another creature."

Carlisle was good. I loved him. He was a great leader. He was a person I looked up to. "I know, but sometimes it's necessary." I said and sighed, it was not what I wanted to say but it was the truth. "This visit didn't lead anywhere." I complained later - this had taken three days with Jasper away from me.

"It did." Carlisle insisted and we jumped into the black ferrari I had stolen at the airport. I really hoped he was right!

--------------------------------------------

I walked faster, it didn't matter that Carlisle got behind. I missed Jasper - I could already feel his smell. I walked through the glass-doors of Port Angeles airport and noticed him at once. Katie stood next to him, she had not noticed me yet but was soon going to. It had been a good idea talking Jasper into taking care of Katie, he needed to be more around humans. The more practice, the easier it would get for him in school - and I would be there for him all the way through. Even now, when only three days had passed, he seemed to have much more control of himself than before; standing that close to a human, I had never seen him that close before, it looked like they were friends already, and he seemed to be getting more and more used to her smell. That was a good sign.

As his eyes caught mine I felt warm and fuzzy inside, and I knew it was not Jasper. His face was just like I remembered it to be, but yet I could not bare to look away. I walked forwards - a human looking could mistake me from running. As soon as I stood in front of him I stopped, my hand touched his face and his touched mine. There we stood, staring at each other. I was unable to stop my fingers from running through his soft honey blond hair.

"Welcome home," he murmured so low that nobody but me could hear it. "I've missed you." He looked at me like I was the only person in the world, like I was the only person in his world. I truly loved him - I could not be apart from him in three days without missing him insanely!

"I've missed you too," I murmured back with a quick smile - I glanced at the girl next to us. Her eyes were on us, but that fraction of time my eyes caught hers she blushed and looked away. "And Katie?"

"She's fine, a little troublesome, but fine."

"Troublesome?" I said surprised - it disturbed me that I could not see anything that involved Katie. It was hard enough for me to try and see Jasper while he was in the same house as she was. Her ability frightened me, while it was frustrating not to be able to see my family.

"She wants to sacrifice herself," he said - he could not hide the pain from his face while he spoke. I could see that he would, like me, never be able to let her go to Alec and Jane. Even though I knew Alec would never hurt her, and I knew that he would never let Jane hurt her, I could not bare letting them take her. I knew what would happen if they would - she would be changed and become a Volturi guard.

"It will be fine, Jazz, I love you!" I said softly and brushed my fingers against his hand one second but then turned to Katie.

"Hey Katie!" I said, smiling and hugged her lightly, like nothing had changed. "And what are you wearing?" I asked her in a low tone - I was almost happy about the fact that she was wearing those ugly clothes, now I could take her shopping! "Seriously - are you wearing Bella's old clothes? It doesn't even fit you! Do you have any fashion sense?-" I said and heard Bella snort behind me.

"Hey - those are actually very comfortable, not everything is about fashion!" she muttered low and I could hear Edward chuckle, amused by Bella's anger.

I ignored Bella and Edward and continued the same second. "Tomorrow, I'm taking you shopping - I need to buy you some new clothes you can actually look good in!"

Katie shook her head in protest but stopped as soon her eyes reached the threadbared jumper. "Only if I can pay you back later!"

I grinned and turned away to hug Esme. "Oh Alice, you two are finally back - I was worried, why didn't you answer your phone?" she cried out before she slipped in her arms around me and hugged me.

"Hi, Esme!" I said and hugged her back. "We were only gone for three days - it was expected, and you knew we would come back!" I said as I pulled away, I didn't want to be the one telling her that our phones... were to no use anymore, even though she probably wouldn't be happy and say something about 'as long as you're ok', I would leave that to Carlisle. I turned around and walked towards Bella and Edward.

Edward. He nodded once to tell me he listened. Is everything okay with Eleazar? He gave me another nod - that Katie had been Eleazar's singer was really bad in this situation, we really didn't need him around trying to eat Katie right now - and it definitely wasn't the best idea if Jasper and Katie had gotten close, then Jasper would be devastated if it happened ... all because of me. Alec and Jane are not going to leave - Aro is ordering them to, but they won't listen. I want you to be careful. We need to be more cautious now when they are around - we need to protect our territoy, or else; they will feed in Forks. Aro will probably send someone to take them back soon! ... I hope. I don't want Jasper to know... yet, Katie and he seem to be friends- Edward nodded once again to tell me it was true -and I really don't want to worry him.

"Bella," I called happily and hugged her, brushed gently through her daughter's hair while I passed Nessie on my way to Edward and hugged him. Then I hugged Rosalie, and as I was to give Emmett a hug he lifted me up and held me over the shoulder laughing, as I knew he would. It was nice being back.

"Let's go home," Carlisle said and Emmett put me down. We quickly split up. Carlisle, Esme, Jasper, Katie and I jumped into Carlisle's black Mercedes - and the others in Emmett's jeep and we drove home.

What do you say? Ok, these two are part one and part two - so it is counted as the same chapter.

I'm sorry I haven't updated for a while, I had some things going on. Schoolwork, tests. Math, French and some other, let's just say it's the worst kind of test you can imagion, try and write on french (I can't write a word without wrong-spelling it!). Anyway - so I really hope you forgive me!

Ok, this is the first time you get to meet Aro. Do you like him? Well... it's Aro. But do you like my Aro? Do you like the way I've painted him up for you.

Yes, Katie is now not allowed to go out. But it's only Jasper who is holding her back (Carlisle think it's not good doing so, it's not right, and he doesn't know that Jasper is doing so). Whatever - continue...

What do you like it about being from Alice's side? You get to know that it was her idea, that Jasper is to be taking care of Katie. So he can get more used to humans. Jasper and Alice are soo cute together! I loved writing her side of this chapter! She is wearing Bella's old human clothes. They are very old and worn out. Alice doesn't like it! It is as simply as that.

I've got my Decode shirt last week (I am wearing it now actually) and I got my posters today! ;D Really happy now. They are really, really pretty. Jasper is really big on one of them! yey ;D! I liked Edward too! The first one is on Bella and Edward when Edward has just saved her from being crushed and they stare at each other. The other one is on the Cullens (Emmett, Rosalie, Jasper, Alice, Edward and Bella - I know, Carlisle and Esme is not there but I could not find any poster with all of them on!) - I'm completed. :) Love Twilight forever! XD

Review more or I'll bite ;D
