Umm... 9th chap :) Trying to make a smiley face myself but I can't. I'm very weird because when I'm very happy or sad I can't smile... Just fucking with you :) I don't own Twilight.

9. Flashes
Esme p.o.v. (wow... didn't expect this didn't you ;))

I was so worried about Bella and Alice. The injuries weren't from falling as they said.

I first found out about them when Rosalie told me about them their second school day...

I was cleaning the dirt any human's eyes couldn't find. I had nothing else to do. A smile lit up my face when I heard Edward's Volvo driving towards our home. The boy was obsessed with his car; it was easy to see he didn't have an existing love life. Sorry dear. But something was off. I didn't hear Rosalie's mumbling. I started worrying. After half a minute and NO mumbling at all, I threw the duster into a corner and ran to welcome them home but instead of my usual smiling face, sat a worried expression.

When the car stopped I attacked them all, with questions of course: „Are you alright? What happened? "I felt calm wash over me before I got my answers. Jasper and his Jasper magic.

„We're alright, Esme." Edward placed his hands on my shoulders and looked deep into my eyes. I was worried.

"No, we're not!" Rosalie screeched from the other room. I heard a vase broke and began to worry if she hurt herself, but then remembered we're vampires, we can't hurt ourselves so easily.

"What happened?" I tried to go to Rosalie but Edward's hands held me in place.

"Nothing happened. Rosalie is just overreacting." He pushed through his teeth while giving Rosalie the evil eye.

"She's Bella's sister! Bella may be in the same condition." Rosalie threw Edward with a vase. The one from Egypt.

I noticed Jasper wasn't in the room, because I was sad and Rosalie looked murderous…

"Who's Bella?" I asked them.

The one answering my question was Emmett. "She's Alice's sister." "Shut up, Em!" Edward ran inside his room.

"Oh my, why is he so jumpy today?" I mumbled. "Okay, who are Bella and Alice and what happened? I need answers."

"Alice and Bella are girls from our school. I walked in while Alice was changing her clothes in the changing room. I saw her back which was covered in bruises- old, healing and new ones. When I asked her about them, she denied it all. Almost begging."

I knew that Alice girl reminded her of her 'humanhood' and how hard it had been.

Before I knew it, I was thinking of them like my own children, caring and worrying about them.

I was pulled out of my thoughts by knocking.

"Coming!" I ran to the door and waited for about five seconds, to be sure.

I must say I wasn't surprised to see Charlie Swan behind the door.

"Hello chief! How can I help you?" I was trying so hard not to grimace. He was fuming but tried to hide it behind a mask of worry.

"Have you seen my daughters? They have gone missing." Gone missing are only used for things. I think he knew it.

"No, I'm sorry. But I'll ask my children." I tried to be polite. When I turned around, my polite smile turned into worry. On my way to Jasper's room, I couldn't help but notice, how empty the table without my vase was. But I couldn't care less.

I opened the door and stepped inside. "It's Charlie, my dears…"

I heard Alice gasp. I don't think she knew that she did that.

But Jasper calmed her down with his Jasper magic. I love saying that.

"What does he want?" Rosalie asked me.

"He wants to know if you have seen Alice and Bella. What will we do?" Edward burst in.

"We're going to lie."

I need your feedback, I feed on it. So, REVIEW, please. Ooh, my cat is shiny.
