A/N: Hi everyone! I am back from the dead! YAY!
I hope you all don't hate me for the super long wait, but my laptop still HASN'T BEEN FIXED(!), I had to study for Finals and I got grounded and banned from the computer because I stayed out too late playing beer-pong with my friends.
Sorry!
I was lying on my bed while everyone else was downstairs. I have to admit, it felt really strange. It must have been almost 12 years since I had even sat on it. Why did we even have beds anyway? It's not like anyone ever comes to the house except other vampires…
Gah! I sounded like Emmett now!
"Rosalie! Rosalie! Come down here!" Alice yelled.
I sighed and trudged downstairs.
My family were sitting at the dining table. Uh-oh! Family meeting. I sighed again and sank into a seat between Jasper and Emmett.
Alice called the table to attention. "Alright, everyone. Cullen family meeting is now in session. I had a vision yesterday and-"
"What, Alice?" Edward cut her off. "What did you see?"
She stuck her tongue out at him. "I was getting to that part! My vision was of Bella…becoming…"
"ALICE!" Edward yelled.
"Fine! But brace yourself; you are not going to like it!"
Edward huffed.
"My vision was of Bella becoming one of us."
"WHAT?" Edward and I shouted at the same time.
Alice put her hands up defensively. "I warned you."
"I AM NOTCHANGING HER!" Edward bellowed.
"YES YOU ARE!" I yelled and stood up.
Suddenly, an idea formed in my head.
Edward gasped. "You wouldn't!"
"You obviously don't know me very well."
I tried to run out the door, but Emmett caught me and hugged me tight to his chest.
"Emmett!" I whined.
Edward looked at Jasper.
Suddenly, I felt sleepy. My eyes widened as I realized what was happening.
"Jas…per!" I croaked.
I fell limp in Emmett's arms. I could hear, but all my other senses were cut off.
"JASPER!" Emmett yelled.
"Sorry! I've never used it on a vampire before!" Jasper defended.
"Is she alright?" Esme asked, concerned.
"She's fine." Edward reassured everyone. "I can still read her thoughts."
I mentally sighed in relief.
"How long, Alice?" Carlisle inquired.
"About 5 minutes."
What? I was going to be stuck like this for 5 FULL MINUTES?
"What's she thinking about, Edward?" Emmett questioned.
"She's complaining, as usual."
Stupid, arrogant, self-pitying, sad excuse for a vampire!
Edward hissed.
"What was she going to do?" Jasper wondered out loud.
"She was planning on changing Bella." Edward answered.
"Dude, why didn't you just let her? I mean, before the Volturi get involved. Alice saw it anyway." Emmett retorted.
"Alice's visions are subjective." Edward reminded us through gritted teeth.
"You say that all the time." I said groggily.
"Rosalie!" Jasper and Emmett hugged me at the same time.
"Can you guys let go? I need some time alone." I asked.
"Sure." Emmett replied.
I got up and slowly walked out of the back door and headed towards the woods. The smell of composting leaves hit me as I exited the house.
When I was halfway there, a flame of anger ignited inside me. Damn! Every time that stupid human girl's name was mentioned, I always ended up in the woods. I decided that I really needed to get a handle on my fight or flight instinct.
I walked for a while, under the light filtering through the top branches and past the tiny insects that were unnoticeable to the human eye, until I came to a small green meadow, hidden in the folds of the forest. I picked up Edward's scent. So this was his meadow. I could just imagine his face if I burnt down a couple of trees…It would be a good way to get him back after all the years of ignoring me.
I knew I shouldn't be angry. I had complete faith in Bella that she wouldn't be able to keep the secret. Then, the Volturi would force Edward to change her. I was still angry, though. There was just something off about the way Alice said 'one of us'…
I was so stupid! How could I not see that coming! Alice meant Bella becoming a Cullen!
I took my anger out on a nearby clump of trees, glad I had the sense to leave the house before I accidentally destroyed Esme's furniture, or the cars, or Edward.
It was getting dark, so I returned to the house.
Everyone was sitting in the living room apart from Edward. Apparently, he had left five minutes after me.
I volunteered to go and retrieve him.
"But, Rose!" Emmett whined. "I want to come!"
"I need some time alone, Emmett."
"You already had time alone! Are you avoiding me? Look, I'm sorry but I didn't want you to kill Bella!"
I laughed and kissed him. "Sorry."
"It's okay. Hurry back, though!"
"Will do!"
I stepped back out into the crisp night air.
After half an hour of searching the woods, I started jogging into town. Edward was no where to be seen.
It was twilight. I was just about to give up and go back to Emmett so we could smash more cottages, when I heard it. The unmistakeable sound of Edward's voice.
I followed the sound all the way to Bella's house. What was he doing here? I shuddered. Pervert!
I climbed a tree and peered into the window of Bella's bedroom to se her asleep in her bed with Edward sitting beside her in a rocking chair. Wow. What a stalker!
"Sorry," he muttered, "Bella, I'm so very sorry."
If I was asked to sum Edward up in three words, I would choose depressed, gloomy and brooding. Seriously! He killed twisted psychopaths 70 years ago. Get over it!
At the sound of my thoughts, Edward's head snapped up.
We were concerned about you, I thought.
He raised his eyebrows.
Okay, the rest of the Cullen clan were concerned about you.
He smiled.
We need to go back home.
I jumped down from the tree and landed silently. Edward landed just seconds after me.
A/N: Hope you liked it!
Once again, sorry sorry sorry sorry!
Love ya!
Evie xox :D
