Oh, almost forgot. HAPPYBIRTHDAY! BellaECullen. I hope I got your name right. I couldn't find the review.
If you don't see your name, don't worry, I'll mention you in the next chappie:)
Oh and btw, as you'll notice, the quotes and songs have something to do with each chapter;)
Song for the chapter:
"We don't care if you think our party's cool, cause we do.
We don't care if you have more fun in Sunday school, cause who invited you.
Who invited you?" – Who Invited You by the Donnas
My lips slowed down as my intuition flickered; something was wrong, something was very, very wrong.

I shot an anxious look at Edward as he paced around the dining room. We had never used the dining room table – it was nothing more than a prop, in case a human somehow made it into the house.
Alice stood at the ends of the long room, her eyes closed and her hands pressed to her temples. She groaned and opened her eyes.
The whole family – seated around the table – turned to look at her expectantly, with a glimmer of hope in their worried, golden eyes.
"Nothing." Alice moaned, leaning against the wall and sliding until she reached the ground. Sigh. "What is wrong with me?" She muttered angrily. She slapped her forehead. "Never in my entire existence have I felt so utterly useless." She raised her hand again – to slap her forehead – but Jasper stopped her.
"It'll be okay, Ali." He whispered. They looked into each other's eyes. Jasper's expression was tired and crushed. Whatever affected Alice, affected him just as much – if not more.
"No. It's not going to be okay. I don't know if it's going to be!" She cried.
I felt the instant Jasper calmed down everyone in the room, including Alice of course.
"Way to be subtle, Jazz" Emmett faked a yawn. "Almost fell asleep."
Rosalie smacked the back of his head.
"No time for jokes, Em." She mumbled.
"I'm sorry, love."
Rosalie unexpectedly chuckled. From the very beginning, Emmett had noticed the way my face softened when Edward called me "love" and he had decided to try it on Rose. Let's just say it didn't work with her. She was still in a bad mood from before.
"Maybe you're simply stressed out, honey. I'm sure it has nothing to do with us as a family. It's nothing personal." Esme suggested, attempting to cheer her up. She was so worried, but I had to admit that her idea was a bit farfetched.
Alice pursed her lips as she considered this, then her eyes slightly unfocused as she looked into the future.
After a second, she grimaced and looked at us with horror-filled-eyes.
"It's us. Something is wrong with us." She shook her head and squeezed her eyes shut – as if that would make everything better. "I can see how the stock market's gonna do, I can see what the weather will be like. But I can't see us. "
I let my mind wonder. Something was wrong with us. Ugh. What was going on with the world!? I thought furiously. First, the kids in La Push start phasing into vampire hating werewolves. Now, Alice can't see our future. "It just vanished. Disappeared." She had said.
It was then that it all started to make sense. When I thought of the two things at one time. They were connected. The werewolves. Alice's vision – or lack thereof I should say.
"The wolves. The visions." I croaked out. Seven pairs of curious butterscotch eyes turned to stare at me.
My eyebrows furrowed as I realized the truth. . "It's all connected. What if the werewolves are the reason our future has disappeared?" I asked warily. I did not want to be right.
"Like they're immune?" Emmett asked incredulously, his always goofy face turned serious.
"I doubt it" Edward disagreed. "I could read their minds just fine last time we met." There was a little crease on his forehead; it always appeared when he got worried. "I don't think it's a natural defense against us." He pursed his perfect full lips.
"I agree" Carlisle said, "It could have something to do with their transformations. It's more of an involuntary reacting rather than a decision. That would prevent Alice from seeing the visions – in that instant, it's like they don't even exist." He theorized.
"For now, we can't be sure of anything. Without Alice's visions to warn us, we'll have to rely on Edward and stay alert. Stay very alert. When hunting, we will all go, never leave someone unprotected. Always be in within hearing range." Jasper spoke, speaking like a military general.
We agreed, Rosalie did grudgingly, but we all accepted this. Alice still felt a little uneasy because of her lack of visions, and Edward was a lot more distracted now, listening every second in case of an attack.
We had to act normal, though. The next day we went to school and kept up our ridiculous façade. Humans didn't even think twice about it, but vampires did.
"Bella? Is something wrong?" She asked me, we were in line to get food – which we wouldn't eat and would simply go to waste – the rest were already seated at our usual lunch table. Edward's eyes snapped up as he heard the beginning of our conversation.
I automatically winced. "No" I said, trying to sound convincing but it sounded like a question.
"You'd tell me if something was wrong, right? We're friends, aren't we? I'm here for you if you need me, okay?" She asked, her perfectly waxed eyebrows rose in the middle, curving slightly. Her face was worried.
I sighed, I wanted to tell her but I wasn't sure if I should. After all, this was a family matter, we would take decisions together and we hadn't talked about this the day before. I turned to look at Edward pleadingly, but his eyes weren't on me. He seemed to be having one of those silent conversations with the family – then his beautiful eyes looked at me and he nodded once. I mouthed "Thank you"
"Yeah, something is wrong." I whispered – too low for any human to hear, even if they walked too close - which seemed to be unlikely.
My mouth started moving too quickly and the words rushed out, but I knew she'd understood. I told her everything, from the werewolves to Alice's lack of visions. Everything. And I was sure her family was listening, too.
"WERWOLVES?" She whispered-yelled. I nodded. "You better not be kidding, Bells!" She warned, smiling. I didn't smile back.
"I'm not" I shook my head.
"Oh, Bella! Everything' going to be fine. We'll be with you all the time. Do you mind if we stay at your house? At least until your future disappeared. She seemed genuinely worried, but there was something in her eyes I couldn't read. She hugged me and school continued slowly, painfully slow.
The rest of the week passed the same way. No future, no visions, Edward was tired of listening 24/7, and Alice was still planning the wedding – worrying about every decision, since she couldn't see how it would turn out. The Morgans stayed with us all the time, not wanting to leave us alone, in case we needed them.
"Thank you so much for your support, but I don't think you guys should stay with us." Carlisle had said.
Elizabeth's expression was shocked at first and then hurt. Carlisle quickly backpedaled.
"Not like that, it's just that I wouldn't want to put you in danger because of us." He explained.
"We are here, don't worry about us, Carlisle. We want to be here." She assured him.
On the third day of that week, Alice was freaking out.
"Liz!" She screamed as she ran downstairs. She stopped in front of Liz and I, who were talking. "I can't see it." She whispered. "I can't see your future." She cried.
We all expected them to run and hide, stay away from us until this was over but they surprised us yet again. They stayed with us, not caring about their future. They had become our friends. Elizabeth and Alex were especially worried about us, thinking of how we should prepare and stay safe. They even thought about skipping school but we decided to go to school and just let nature run its course. It seemed they felt responsibility to keep us safe. It was a bit creepy, but really nice at the same time.
So we waited and waited. It was like a ticking time bomb just waiting to explode. Tick tock tick tock tick tock.
We were sitting in the living room watching Grey's Anatomy. It was Monday. A week had passed and nothing had happened yet. The suspense was killing us, tiring us and we were restless.
Edward's eyes locked with mine and he jumped up. "They're here!" He whispered, so they wouldn't hear. "And they're closer than we think." He ran over to the wall, and about to press the discrete button -that shut this place down like a jail - on the wall when we heard a deafening sound.
Four very large bear like creatures came in from the west side of the house, destroying the entire wall. Then I realized these were not giant bears – these were giant wolves. Werewolves.
We all tensed into a defensive crouch as we watched the scene around us. Twelve vampires and four werewolves all ready to fight.
The reddish brown wolf turned to look at me, straight in the eye. There was something freakily familiar about those eyes. The wolf seemed to recognize me too because after looking at me, he growled and the three other wolves growled back…to him? He 'pulled himself' together and a man stood in front of me. A very naked man I should say. My jaw dropped as I looked into those too familiar eyes.
"Jake?"
