Chapter Seven - Visitors
Alice's POV
I saw how the conversation would go.
"Rory, I'm sorry. It's just..."
"I know Jaz. I can't let go either."
"Thank-you."
"For what?"
"For coming back into my life."
I ran my hands through my short hair as I perched on the bed waiting for Jasper to get back. Edward would make Aurora happy and Aurora would make Edward happy, i'd seen that much and the longer she stayed here the more solid the vision become.
Bella seamed to fade away as gold entered Aurora's eyes.
I had always been so certain about my future and Jasper's too but as soon as Aurora walked through our doors it changed my outlook.
Whether I liked it or not Aurora was a part of Jasper's history and a very important part of that. Jasper had missed her, you didn't need his gift to know that and in a strange way she completed Edward in a way that I would never have dreamt posssible.
"You are worried what's wrong?" I jumped as Jasper stood in the doorway, the conversation was over quicker than I thought.
"Aurora and Edward...and you." I whispered. Jasper rubbed the back of his neck and then came and sat beside me.
"Aurora and Edward are a problem." he hissed and I turned to look at him shocked. "But, what has this got to do with me?" he added confused.
"Number one, there is nothing wrong with Edward and Aurora being together, i've seen that. Jasper, she completes him in a way that no one ever could-" I protested.
"She completed me in that way once." he interjected and I inhaled a deep breath.
"That brings me back to my second point. You and Aurora." My voice broke towards the end.
"I don't understand."
"Of course you do Jasper."
"Your...your envious?" he dragged the last word out and I hissed.
"Yes Jasper, I am envious."
"Of what? Alice all I see is you." he told me, his finger found my chin and brought us so we were eye level.
"Jasper, she was your fiancee, you love her....she's part of you. Part I can never compete with." I whispered and he thought about his answer carefully.
"Alice, I am protective over her, like a brother. I love her but not in the way you think." he protested and I pulled away.
"Leave her be Jasper." I spoke quietly and Jasper growled. I slapped him.
"Don't you dare growl at me! Don't you think she deserves happiness? And what about Edward? He deserves someone like her. I thought Bella was destined for him but boy was I wrong. Jasper they are soulmates and he fulfills a part of her life that you never could so get over it!" I screamed with such passion that if it was possible I would have cried a river.
"Ok, i'm sorry. You're right...but I can't..." he shouted out frustrated.
"You can't let go, but you have to let go."
"How do I?" he asked me.
"Accept them, she'll be around for a while." I said quietly and looked at me confused.
"Psychic remeber?" I laughed softly and he kissed my cheek.
"Care you explain?"
"Later, we have nomads to greet." I said and he nodded.
Aurora's POV
"We have to do what we have to do, Carlisle." Emmett sighed as he clapped the doctor on the back. I stood back away close to the door lost deep in thought about the text sent by Aro.
'Progress? We haven't spoken in a while, I need reports.'
I didn't want Aro to turn up and touch me.
One touch and he would know my feelings and thoughts towards the Cullens.
Stronger -- no much stronger than any feelings I could feel for the Volturi.
I felt like family but at the same time seperated from the group, like a girl just starting high school. She talks to a group of girls and wants to belong but doesn't know whether they want to keep her.
Did the Cullen's want to keep me?
Edward's eyes flashed to my face and I dropped my gaze to the floor.
Stupid mind reader.
"I understand, but I don't relish the thought of killing another creature." he replied, his face twisted as he mentioned killing. It was clear the doctor didn't want a fight or kill for that matter.
I had plenty of experience.
"It may not even turn into a fight." Jasper informed and Emmett growled. He was all set for a fight.
"Aurora, are you sure you want to come?" Esme asked, I looked up to the vampire that stood clutching two silver cell phones.
"Yes, of course." I smiled, she returned the smile and held out one of the phones. I closed the gap between us and took the silver gadget gingerly in my hands passing it from one to the other.
"You do belong." a smooth voice whispered into my ear, I knew who it was but still I moved my head to find his crooked smile. His eyes burned with seriousness at the words he spoke. I wanted so much to believe they were true but...
"But what?" he whispered. I shook my head.
"Let's go then guys." Jasper called from the garage door. I turned quickly followed the others keeping my gaze anywhere but on Edward even though I felt his presence beside me.
We entered the clearing and as I kept my eyes raking the woods I spotted nothing.
No visitors yet.
"This is peacefull remember." Carlisle warned to others, his eyes rested on me. So just because it was my job to fight and kill I didn't have to enjoy it, others shouldn't expect that I enjoy it.
Even thought I mst admit it was rather fun.
"We must keep them away from Forks." Edward retaliated, his voice rang out high.
"Isn't Bella in Arizona with her Mom?" I asked, wasn't that the idea? Bella leaves so that there is no danger.
So that we can keep her safe for Edward.
"Yes, but all the other innocents." Edward said and I nodded. As if I could imagine Edward protecting Mike Newton from a vampire - he'd most probably hand the little boy over willingly. I smiled and then focused.
I had to stay concentrated.
I scanned the forests again.
"Do you see that?" I asked pointing northwards,the others followed my gaze.
"Yes, they are the three from my vision." Alice confirmed. Jasper pushed her behind him in a protective manner. "I think there are more though, the vision keeps changing but I think they are being hunted." she continued.
Moments later three vampires emergered from opposite us. In front stood a man with long black dreadlocks, he was flanked by a man with a blonde pontytail and a women with firey red hair. They were dirty,barefoot and had leaves sticking out of them. Each one stared at us slowly.
"Hello." Carlisle said as he bravely stepped forward. I read through their minds and noticed Edward was doing the same, his arm slowly raised and pushed me back angling himself between me and the visitors.
For protection?
"Hello." the front one which I supposed to be the leader announced. Edward never took his eyes off the blonde male.
"This is my family: Esme, Alice and Jasper, Rosalie and Emmett, Edward and Aurora." Carlisle said pointing to us. I was surprised he included me as part of the family, I was chuffed though. Edward angled himself again so that I was almost blocked from view. I noticed the blonde one never took his eyes of me, he looked so familiar.
"I am Laurent, this is Victoria and James." the black haired vampire replied.
Bingo. Everything clicked.
James had been in trouble with a Volturi a few decades back for hunting close to Volterra and over eating. He was close to blowing our secret until we tracked him down.
"You." he hissed towards me, Edward tensed but I smiled.
"How lovely to see you James." I said laughing. He crouched low.
"Stay quiet." Edward hissed. I could take care of myself.
"James?" Victoria asked, his mate looked from me to him and I laughed at her conclusion.
She thought we used to have something between us.
Everyone looked at me.
"I've met James before. He almost exposed us, hunting close to Volterra and over eating. You were given a second chance." I said. I spoke this aloud so that everyone knew where we stood. James sprang.
That's when it began, the fight errupted.
But as quick as it was started it ended.
The squealing was never something you got used to but it still rang out across the clearing; the sound of the decapitation of a vampire.
"Thanks for keeping Victoria off my back." Rosalie laughed as we put the remains into a pile. Edward stood beside me lighting them up.
"Are you ok?" he whispered close into my ear. I looked myself over and shrugged.
"Peachy." I winked and he rolled his eyes. I turned my eyes to the fire as Alice had he vision.
"The other two are arriving." she said staring at me. I recognised them as soon as the vision started, my face turned into horror.
"What is it?" Jasper asked. I stood frozen staring at Alice.
"Good morning Aurora." a voice came from behind me but I didn't need to turn around to know who it was. I froze, as I felt Edwards gaze on my face. I looked up to see his topaz eyes before turning around to face our new visitors.
"Why good morning gentlemen."
