*******************************************************
Having Alice around wasn't so bad. It was nice having another girl around. Don't get me wrong, Esme was great. But, I just don't consider hanging out with my mother much fun.
We both sat on the floor in Edward's former room.
"So you don't remember a single thing about being human?" I've never heard about someone losing all their memories during a transformation before. I knew from personal experience that the memories could be hazy, but complete amnesia?
"Nope… I did have a medical bracelet on and like a bad movie, the only thing legible on it was my first name," she shrugged.
"Wow, and you were completely alone?"
"Yup."
"So how did you… find out what you were?" I was completely fascinated by her story.
"It wasn't hard to figure out when I was hovering over a dry body covered in blood," she said it like it was nothing at all.
"Didn't you ever try to find out who you were?"
"Well of coarse I tried. It's kind of hard when you have no memory and only know your first name."
"Oh right…"
"But one day I had a vision of a lost man… and something told me to go find him. I ended up in a diner in Philadelphia, I waited for three days. I was losing hope and was going to give up until he finally came…
"Once I laid my eyes on him, I realized it didn't matter who I had been… what mattered was who I was going to be… with this stranger. When he walked into the diner I couldn't help myself, I had to talk to him. So, I walked up to him and told him I have been waiting for him for a long time. Then, he ducked his head, like a good Southern gentleman, and said, 'I'm sorry, ma'am.'"
"That must be one of the most beautiful stories I have ever heard…" I was in awe, her story seemed like a demented fairy tale.
"Well… you have a pretty interesting story yourself," she said.
What truly amazed me about Alice was her compatibility to adjusting to our life style so quickly. Her eyes were quickly fading away to a warm amber color instead of the usual crimson. That night she and Jasper had arrived, three months ago, like Emmett they received the talk. Alice was more than willing to meet our standards, Jasper on the other hand, that was the only time I have ever truly seen him outraged. I could tell it was hard for him, but I could also tell how much he loved Alice. Because frankly who in their right mind would change life as they knew it just to be apart of someone's "family." He obviously tries this hard just to make Alice happy.
"Hey," Edward walked in with Jasper close behind him, Edward wasn't completely over being kicked out of his room but he seemed okay with it now. It took him awhile but he managed to forgive Alice.
"Hey," Alice smiled happily.
"Have you seen Emmett? Jasper and I wanted to play some football and was wondering If he wanted to join."
'Boys and their dumb sports' I thought rolling my eyes.
Edward glared at me, "he went to run some errands for me," I said examining my finer nails.
"Is he gong to be back soon?"
"Well I don't know! Edward why don't you just-"
I was interpreted, "Alice, what is it?"
Jasper was quickly at Alice's side, her face was blank and Jasper's was full of concern.
I couldn't help but notice Edward's face was just as blank as well.
"What's going on?" I asked in confusion.
"She's having a vision," Jasper said quickly.
'Was Edward sharing this vision with her?'
I looked at my brother's blank face… wondering.
"Rose, you've got to find Emmett!" my daze was broken, I heard the distress in Edward's voice.
"Huh? What? Why?" was all I could say. Why did I have to go find him? I just sent him out to do some errands…
"No… we're not going to make it in time," I heard Alice say.
'Make it in time for what? What's going on?' I was completely in the dark. What the hell was going on?
"Emmett is going to kill someone," Edward said
I felt horror come to my face, "What? No. What are you talking about? He wouldn't… He knows how to control himself… he won't do it… he… he… won't!" I was on my feet now and stuttering uncontrollably.
"I saw it… he's going to do it…" Alice said softly.
I couldn't believe what I was hearing, "well we have to go stop him!"
"There's no point… we're not going to make it… it's to late…" Alice looked at me with an apologetic look.
I was looking at all three of them wide eyed in disbelief. There was no possible way Emmett would do this! He promised! He promised he would not give in!
"Rose…" I suppose Edward heard my hysterics in my head.
"No! Edward he promised me! He promised! He would not do this to me!" I was yelling now, I could feel the tearless sobs coming.
"Rose, just listen…"
"No! You'll see, Edward, he's going to come home and everything is going to be fine…"
I couldn't stand it, I ran out of the room and was flying down the stairs. I opened the front door not bothering to close it behind me. I could smell Emmett's scent, it wouldn't take me long to find him.
***
To my horror they were right, I could see him down the road… hovering over something… someone…
"Emmett, No!" I've never felt so slow in my life, I knew I was running at a miraculous speed, but I just felt so slow.
Finally I reached him, I stopped dead in my tracks as my eyes fell on the dead young woman in his arms.
I flung myself onto Emmett, he looked like he wasn't even aware that I was there.
"Emmett stop!" I tried prying him free from the woman, but he was stronger than I was, "Baby stop! Please! Stop it-"
I felt a crushing blow to my chest, it sent me flying. I felt my back slam into a tree. I heard a loud ripping noise, I wasn't sure if it was me falling to the ground or if it was the tree I just hit.
I couldn't believe what was happening, I was on the ground grabbing hold of my chest… it actually was… hurting. I looked up only to find Emmett staring at me murderously. He was no longer the Emmett who I was in love with. He was a vampire defending his prey. He growled at me and I couldn't do anything but stare at him in shock.
What could I do? Fight him off? I would not be able to do that.
Suddenly Emmett was on his feet and he was charging my way. I couldn't move, I was frozen. He was getting closer and closer until two large figures knocked him onto the ground.
I notice those two figures to be, Edward and Jasper. They held him to the ground and he thrashed wildly.
"Rosalie are you okay?" Alice was at my side looking at me with concern.
"Jasper hold your breath, don't smell the blood!" I heard Edward say.
"Rose?" Alice was shaking me slightly now.
"Yeah… uhmm... Yeah I'm fine."
My eyes couldn't leave Emmett's, I gasped in terror, his eyes were no longer a dull gold. They were red…
"C'mon Em, calm down… calm down…" Edward told him, "Jasper do you think you can settle him down?"
Jasper nodded and within seconds Emmett was no longer putting up a fight.
***
I sat in my room… unmoving and alone.
After Jasper had calmed down Emmett it didn't take him long to realize what was happening. I didn't have it in me to talk to him… not now.
I sat on my bed not knowing to do, I just couldn't believe what happened.
There was a knock at my door.
I didn't say anything, but the door opened anyway.
"Rose?"
I turned my attention to Esme and Alice who was coming in. Alice shut the door behind them.
Esme sat beside me and Alice sat on the floor crossing her legs and looking up at me.
"Are you okay?" Esme asked.
I didn't say anything… I just stared straight ahead, at the wall.
"It's okay, Rose. Everything will be alright," Alice said putting a reassuring hand on my knee.
I shook my head in disapproval, "no it won't be… he was my responsibility… and I let this happen and…"
That's all I could manage to say. I was still in shock.
They both gave me sympathetic looks. Before anyone of them could say anything there was another knock at the door. All three of our heads turned our attention to the door.
It opened slightly only to have Emmett appear on the other side of it, he peeked inside, "can I come in?"
"Come on in Emmett," Esme said.
Alice gave my knee a reassuring grip before she walked out of the room. Esme kissed the top of my head before she left.
It was just me and Emmett now, and for the first time in the nine months that we've been together, I couldn't look at him.
"Rose, I'm-" he started.
"It's okay…" I said barely in a whisper, not making eye contact what so ever.
"No it's not!" he exclaimed, "I promised you… and I broke my promise…"
"It's okay…" I repeated.
"Rose, can you look at me?!"
I didn't say anything, I just kept staring at the wall…
Suddenly, I noticed Emmett on his knees in front of me holding on to my legs, as if for support. He looked up at me pleadingly.
"Rose, please…"
For the first time since I got home I looked at him. His face was pleading, but I quickly looked away when I saw his crimson eyes.
Emmett notice, "What is it?"
I just gave him another quick glance but didn't say anything.
"Oh… it's my eyes… isn't it?"
It was his turn to look away from me.
"Emmett… it's okay…" I said softly.
He looked at me and I couldn't help but be a little frightened.
"Rose it's not okay…" he buried his face into my lap, and he started shaking. I knew what that shaking meant, only because I was doing it earlier. He was "crying."
I rubbed his back soothingly, "it's okay…"
"But, I hit you… I hurt you…" he muffled into my lap.
"It's okay…" I knew I was sounding repetitive right now, but what else could I say?
"And my eyes! I see how you look at me… I'm a monster…" he was shaking more harshly now.
"It's okay, baby… they'll fade…" I said quoting him. (A/N: Remember?! He said that in the second chapter?! Remember?! Did I just ruin the moment… yeah I think I did… SORRY!)
