Veronica began convulsing. She tried to scream but the pain became too much. Alice picked Veronica up and ran to the house. Emmett, Rosalie, Bella, Jasper, and Esme stood in the living room waiting. Alice ran to the couch, which was already covered with a thick red towel and lay Veronica on it.
"Did you call Carlisle?", asked Alice.
"Yeah, he is in the middle of something at the hospital but he said he will be here as soon as he possibly can. Hey how were able to stop yourself?", said Jasper.
"I don't know. It was really easy though. I guess it is just because I was around Bella all the time when she was human so it didn't faze me as much as I thought it would.", said Alice honestly.
"Why would you do that?", said Edward angrily as he stepped inside.
"Where is Renesmee?", asked Alice avoiding his question, and his glare.
"Jacob has her. Do you know what this could do to our family? We are lucky Bella could resist the blood but we don't even know this girl!"
"Edward it was Alice's decision.", said Esme calmly.
"There is nothing she can do know", said Rosalie.
"We can suck the venom out. I've done it before.", said Edward. Jasper tried to calm Edward.
"Don't help", said Edward.
"He's just trying to calm you.", said Bella. She went from her very still position next to Esme, to Edward's side. She realized that no one moved from they're positions since Alice first came home. It made her uncomfortable.
"We have to do something for her. She is losing too much blood.", said Rosalie. Before finishing her sentence Esme was at her side with gauze and ointment. Emmett wrapped the gauze carefully around Veronica's neck. It would have been a hard task for a human considering she was still squirming around but he easily managed it.
"Why am I the only one that cares?", asked Edward.
"I do care. We all do.", said Bella.
"But I couldn't have a vision about someone dying and ignore it.", said Alice. She sounded hurt by Edwards accusations. He could tell too and quickly apologized.
"*sigh* I know. Sorry."
"Jasper you are doing a great job calming her. It must be hard to feel her pain.", said Esme.
"It's probably more difficult resisting the urge to eat her.", said Rosalie.
"Be nice Rosalie, he is doing a great job at that too.", said Esme.
"We should move her from the couch.", said Rosalie.
"Ugh you guys don't have a clue what you are doing. You were not there when Bella was bite, well not in the room anyways, and Carlisle did the rest of us....excluding Alice and Jasper. Alice I know how bad you feel about this girl-"
"Her name's Veronica.", snorted Alice.
"Ok, I know how bad you feel for Veronica but I still really think you should not have done this. She is in critical condition and feeling a horrible burning sensation. Jasper is helping but I'm sure he can also feel her fear and her pain.", finished Edward.
"Her pain is excruciating! And the blood...I don't know how much longer I can last.", said Jasper. He looked at Edward and instantly Edward ran to him.
"You don't think you will be able to bear it much longer, I can feel that. Step aside. You have done good.", said Edward. Jasper looked at him, then to Alice for more support.
"If you must go then you must go love.", said Alice.
"Come on Jasper, lets go hunting. We can talk to Jacob on the way and fill him in.", said Bella.
"I'm coming too.", said Rosalie, then the three left. Edward stayed behind with Esme, Alice, and Emmett to watch over Veronica before Carlisle got back.
"So why did you have a vision of her anyway?", asked Bella as the three ran through the forest.
"I don't know. I was just sitting on the couch and it happened. All I know is that I had to save her and she has to be important in some way.", Said Alice, once again honestly.
"Are you sure you didn't need another friend?", joked Rosalie.
"Of course not! I already have Bella. Any human other then she would be too boring for me to want to turn them, unless I knew them before hand...which I didn't.", Said Alice. She was smiling jokingly although she couldn't help but wonder if Rosalie was really joking or if Rosalie was really accusing her.
"I'm pretty boring if you ask me.", Said Bella. Just then they heard from behind them in the distance, Carlisle entering the home.
