Chapter 4 Alice Sees Red

I was happy that my brother Edward hadn't been curled up in a ball acting like an insignificant gargoyle staring into the abyss at dust mites. I had feared he might do something like that. But actually it was far worse than that.

He was playing Grand Theft Auto 1, 2, 3, 4 and had gone so far as to make a number 5 by himself. He'd been playing the games since we left Forks… a week ago. Hadn't left the room at all. And we were in a beautiful city. We were in Italy where vampires our fellow race swamped to enjoy the dreadful Volturi. Did he go outside once? Did he try to cheer himself up after having broken things off with his love? No. He played video games. Jasper couldn't stand to be near Edward with his attitude. Edward just didn't care anymore.

We threw mangy dogs in Edward's room every once in a while so he could eat and I was seriously thinking about taking him to a psychiatrist. He'd pretty much been a stalker when he dated Bella so we already thought he was out of whack by now…

Jasper and I sat in the room beside Edward's. Emmett was on the computer, Rosalie was watching the shopping channel ordering every item that cost more than 3 digits, Esme was dusting the shelves while standing on a chair, and Carlisle was reading a medical book. In Norwegian. Jasper was sketching me as I sat contemplating about my depressed brother when the vision flashed through my head and all at once a series of events happened.

My vision:

Bella in red…. Flashy. Skanky. Red… on the internet.

My initial reaction was shock and bewilderment.

Jasper felt my emotions and looked at me frightened, "What's wrong Alice? You look terrified."

Edward's game stopped playing and he was in the room beside me, having read my mind from his little area of confinement, smelling like dead dog and cheetos which was odd considering we didn't eat anything but blood.

"What was that you just saw?" Edward asked his eyes wide in shock. These were the first words he'd spoken since we'd left Forks other than, "You want a piece of this," which he usually shouted to the television screen when playing his games. Edward read my mind again of Bella and what she'd been wearing on the internet.

"The decision has been made," I breathed to him. "Bella's on the computer." Before I could finish Edward typed in the website that he'd read in my mind and the site popped up with Emmett growling over the fact that Edward had changed his site. There was a click and a clack as the computer loaded up on the computer the site and suddenly all we could hear coming from the speakers was the music: "Applebottom Jeans."

Everything went silent in the room as everyone drifted towards the computer as if it were a beacon but instead of saving you from destruction it was destruction.

"Um… I didn't think Bella was good looking but wow." Emmett whistled in appreciation as Rosalie hit his head. "Look she has more hits on her site than yours Rose." She bashed him one more time grumbling that her husband should keep his mouth shut.

Edward stared. "Bella's on a motorcycle dressed like a… a…"

"Well she is covered up Edward, it seems like Jacob's taking care of that himself," replied Jasper trying to push on calming senses towards Edward. Scantily clad little red bikini that screamed look at me.

"She never got a bikini wax with me," cried Alice feeling like Bella had rejected her having not done all these things with her.

"Are those his arms around her or two bands of steel? He's rather nicely built," breathed Rosalie and then she growled, "That's MY bathing suit! I wondered where I'd left it!"

"Why didn't she ever let me dress her like that? She knows I would've," sighed Alice sadly looking on at the picture.

Emmett scrolled down on the computer as Esme glanced over their shoulders. "My! Carlisle! I think Bella's taken up the medical field," she said happily totally naïve of what was on the website, "She's wearing a nurses uniform and seems to be administering a shot to a young boy!"

"It's MIKE NEWTON!" Edward growled immediately seething with anger! "HE'S WITH MY WOMAN!"

"Technically she's not your woman anymore bro," said Jasper.

"Technically she's their woman," Emmett commented laughing his head off as he scrolled down some more to a shot of Bella being held in the arms of the La Push gang. All without their shirts, in her bathing suit, blushing beautifully as they all smirked.

They scrolled down some more and there was a picture of Bella with a kissing booth and a line of guys that stretched a block of the school.

"She's doing community service," replied Esme unknowingly.

Another picture of Bella dressed up like a cop, rather tight fitting cop clothes in Charlie's police car.

"SHE CAN'T DO THIS, SHE'S TOO YOUNG!"

"She's 18," replied Alice frowning. "She never played dress up with me like this before."

Carlisle finally joined the group and glanced at the computer shaking his head bitterly. "I knew this was going to be bad if we left her."

"Who could've turned Bella into this…. This…. Hottie," cried Emmett. "Where did she learn to dress like this? Who taught her about this stuff?" Everyone turned their heads towards Edward.

"What?!" He yelled abashed. "I didn't tell her to dress like that ever in my entire life! And Emmett! You idiot!" Edward launched himself on Emmett, his hands around Emmett's throat trying to strangle him but Emmett tossed him off laughing.

"You can't beat me little brother!

"If I can't Rose will! Emmett's having dirty thoughts about you and Bella."

Emmett was running out of the room, bulldozing one wall as he ran, before the sentence was uttered and Rosalie was chasing after him with a giant mallet screeching, "EMMETT!"

Edward stayed at the computer for a full minute in silence.

"Edward I'm sorry," breathed Jasper feeling incredibly turned on and trying to send out the same waves he felt towards Edward as Alice climbed on his back beating him in the head with a hammer shouting, "YOU TOO! I thought you loved me!"

Edward slumped over with his hands in his beautifully sparkling hands with a groan. "I told her to be safe."

"I'm sure she is," muttered Emmett running through the hole in the wall and jumping out the window.

Edward growled at Emmett's running figure as Rosalie ran into the room toting her large mallet. This time she'd exchanged her accessory for one with spikes on it. "I shouldn't have left her. This can't this get any worse?"
