Jasper, Alice and I started walking towards the car. "Rosalie, stop freaking out!" Alice exclaimed. "I can practically hear the steam coming out of your ears!" Her eyes were glazed over. She must've been skimming the future. I stormed into the car. Then I saw Emmett and Edward walking towards us.

Idiot! Lunatic! Moron! Jackass! Selfish, irresponsible fool! I screamed through my thoughts. Edward didn't even flinch. I gave him a death glare too.

At least Jasper and I were definitely set on this. And I'm sure Emmett would be on our side. Esme would side with Carlisle who would probably side with Edward. And who knows with Alice, she could take Edward's side for all I know even though I hope she doesn't.

It was quiet the whole way to the house. We parked in the garage, and I saw Carlisle's Mercedes.

Dammit. I was hoping he wouldn't be here, it'd be one less person on Team Let's Save the Human.

We all charged right to the dining room. Carlisle like to use it as a conference room, since we were all different it was kind of necessary.

Every one sat in their usual seats. It was kind of obvious that we have done this often in these past two years.

Carlisle sat at the head of the table and Esme sat at his side. Edward sat on Carlisle's other side.

As I took my seat at the other end of the table I glared at Edward again, never taking my eyes off him. Emmett sat beside me, while Jasper stood against the wall behind me. The lines were obviously drawn. But we were missing a certain pixie.

She came in, eyes still glazed over and sat next to Esme. I scowled. That means she knew who was going to win. I felt Jasper's eyes boring in my back, I however was still eyeing Edward.

He looked at me. "I'm sorry." Then he looked at Jasper, and then Emmett. "I didn't mean to put any of you at risk. It was thoughtless, and I take full responsibility for my hasty action."

"What do you mean, 'take full responsibility'?" I snarled. "Are you going to fix it?"

"Not the way you mean, I'm willing to leave now, if that makes things better."

"No," Esme said softly. "No, Edward."

"It's just a few years." He said soothingly. No he's going to win them over. No one wants him to leave!

"Esme's right though," Emmett said. "You can't go anywhere now. That would be the opposite of helpful. We have to know what people are thinking more than ever."

"Alice will catch anything major." He insisted.

Carlisle spoke up as he shook his head. "I think Emmett is right, Edward. The girl will be more likely to talk if you disappear. It's all of us, or none of us."

"She won't say anything." He said quickly. Red clouded my vision, I could feel the rage building up through my veins.

Saying I was pissed off was an understatement.

"You don't know her mind." Carlisle said softly.

"I know this much, Alice back me up." Edward persisted.

Alice lifted up her head snapping back to reality. "I can't see what will happen if we just ignore this." She looked at Jasper and I.

I hit the table with my hand, the air was filled with the sound of the bang with the smack of my hand. "We can't allow the human to say anything. Carlisle you must see that. Even if we decided to all disappear, it's not safe to leave stories behind. We live so differently from the rest of our kind-you know there are those who would love the excuse to point fingers. We have to be more careful than anyone else!"

"We've left rumors behind us before." Edward said annoyingly.

"Just rumors and suspicions, Edward." I said as if it was obviously. "Not evidence and eyewitnesses!" I yelled.

"Evidence!" He scoffed.

"Rose-" Carlisle started.

I interrupted him. "Let me finish, Carlisle. It doesn't have to be any big production. The girl hit her head today. So maybe that injury turns out to be more serious than it looked. Every mortal goes to sleep with the chance of never waking up. The other's would expect us to clean up after ourselves. Technically, that would make it Edward's job, but this is obviously beyond him." I rolled my eyes at him. "You know I'm capable of control. I would leave no evidence behind me." I said seriously.

"Yes, Rosalie, we all know how proficient an assassin you are," Edward sneered.

A hiss escaped my lips.

"Edward please," Carlisle said looking at Edward, he then turned to me. "Rosalie, I looked the other way in Rochester because I felt you were owed your justice. The men you killed had wronged you monstrously. This is not the same situation. The Swan girl is an innocent."

"It's not personal, Carlisle." I gritted my teeth. "It's to protect us all."

Silence fell upon us. Carlisle nodded once while thinking. "I know you mean well, Rosalie, but… I'd like very much for our family to be worth protecting. The occasional…accident or lapse in control is a regrettable part of who we are. To murder a blameless child in cold blood is another thing entirely. I believe the risk she presents, whether she speaks her suspicions or not, is nothing to the greater risk. If we make exceptions to protect ourselves, we risk something much more important. We risk losing the essence of who we are."

I glanced at Edward. I knew he was on freaking cloud nine right now.

"It's just being responsible." I said loudly.

"It's being callous, every life is precious." Of course Carlisle would say that, I should have known that.

I sighed, Emmett patted my shoulder. "It'll be fine, Rose." He whispered sweetly.

"The question, is whether we should move on?" Carlisle asked.

"No, we just got settled. I don't want to start on my sophomore year in high school again!" I exclaimed.

"You could keep you present age, of course," Carlisle bribed.

I might be blonde, but I wasn't dumb. "And have you move again that much sooner?" I rose an eyebrow. Carlisle just shook his shoulders. "I like it here! There's so little sun, we get to be almost normal."

"Well, we certainly don't have to decide now. We can wait and see if it becomes necessary. Edward seems certain of the Swan girl's silence."

I turned around and looked at Jasper. He was still dead set against his decision. I could feel my lips about to curl into a smile.

"Jasper," Edward said. His eyes met his. "She won't pay for my mistake. I won't allow that."

"She benefits from it, then? She should have died today, Edward. I would only set that right." Jasper said coldly.

"I will not allow it." Edward said unfazed.

"I won't let Alice live in danger, even a slight danger. You don't feel about anyone the way I feel about her, Edward," I saw Edward flinch ever so slightly, "And you haven't lived through what I've lived through, whether you've seen my memories or not. You don't understand."

Jasper was right, Edward didn't understand. He didn't understand at all.

"I'm not disputing that, Jasper. But I'm telling you now, I won't allow you to hurt Isabella Swan." I laughed on the inside. If I didn't know any better he probably had feelings for this human.

"Jazz," Alice said interrupting their silence.

Jasper looked at her. "Don't bother telling me you can protect yourself, Alice. I already know that. I've still got to-"

"That's not what I'm going to say," She said like a five year old. "I was going to ask you for a favor."

Then Edward's jaw dropped with a gasp. All I knew was that this wasn't good, and that my earlier assumption was coming true.

"I know you love me. Thanks. But I would really appreciate it if you didn't try to kill Bella. First of all, Edward's serious and I don't want you two fighting. Secondly, she's my friend. At least, she's going to be." She said with a shrug of her shoulders.

"But…Alice," Jasper started.

"I'm going to love her someday, Jazz. I'll be very put out with you if you don't let her be." She said thouroughly.

"Ah," She sighed with a smile. "See? Bella's not going to say anything. There's nothing to worry about."

She said her name as if they were already best friends. I shuddered.

"Alice," Edward said, terrified. "What…does this…?"

"I told you there was a change coming. I don't know Edward." I knew her too well, and she was keeping something to herself I was sure.

"What, Alice? What are you hiding?" Edward said through his teeth.

Emmett grumbled.

"Is it about the girl?" Edward commanded. "Is it about Bella?"

She must've slipped because Edward was on the balls of his feet in the next half a second, and he shouted, "NO!"

"Edward!" Carlisle exclaimed.

"It's solidifying," Alice whispered. "Every minute you're more decided. There're really only two ways left for her. It's one or the other, Edward." Then I figured out what they were talking about.

"No," He said hysterically.

"Will somebody please let the rest of us in on the mystery?" Emmett muttered.

"I have to leave." Edward said to Alice.

I started dazing out as I really realized what was going on.

By the time I drifted back into reality, I heard Edward ask, "Why are you doing this to me?..." Him and Alice were having one of their private conversations. "Love her, too?..." His voice faltered. Alright now I felt the steam whoosh out of my ears. "No." Edward shook his head. "I don't have to follow that course. I'll leave. I will change the future."

"You can try," She said as if Edward just said he was going to give up on drinking blood entirely.

"Oh, come on!" Emmett hollered. I tried to hold back giggles from his confusion.

"Pay attention," I said furious again. "Alice sees him falling for a human!" How classic Edward!" I made a gagging noise to piss him off.

He seemed unfazed.

Hmm. Looks like he's finally learned to ignore me.

I saw him slightly nod in my direction. I scowled.

"What?" Emmett said, his face like a dear in head lights. Then he started cracking up. "Is that what's been going on? Tough break, Edward."

Esme seemed stunned. "Fall for a human? For the girl he saved today? Fall in love with her?"

"What do you see, Alice? Exactly?" Jasper demanded.

"It all depends on whether he is strong enough or not. Either he'll kill her himself" She glared at him. "Which would really irritate me, Edward not to mention what it would to you-" She turned back to Jasper, "or she'll be one of us someday."

I gasped, infuriated. She's going to give up her life for him? For a vampire? For a monster? She has a whole freaking life ahead of her!

"That's not going to happen!" Edward yelled. "Either one!"

"It all depends," Alice said distantly, "He may be just strong enough not to kill her-but it will be close. It will take an amazing amount of control, more even than Carlisle has. He may be just strong enough…The only thing he's not strong enough to do is stay away from her. That's a lost cause."

Silence came again, this time Carlisle broke it. "Well, this…complicates things."

"I'll say," Emmett chuckled. I stomped on his foot. He pretended to wince.

"I suppose the plans remain the same, though," Carlisle continued ingoring Emmett, "We'll stay, and watch. Obviously, no one will…hurt the girl."

"No." Jasper whispered. "I can't agree to that. "If Alice sees only two ways-"

"No!" Edward shrieked. "No!"

Then Edward ran out of the room. I stalked upstairs to my room, ignoring the other's shouts coming after me.

When I got upstairs, I buried my face in the fluffy pillows. I heard the door open and then I heard Alice's high pitched voice.

"Are you okay?" She asked.

"I don't get it." I said softly.

"What?" She asked as she sat down on the bed.

"Why she's throwing it all away, Alice…" I felt my eyes burn for the tears that would never come. "Or why she will throw it all away."

"I know Rosalie, but she'll love him." She insisted.

"How could Edward love her though?" I lifted my face from the pillows and sat up.

"I don't know." She said again. She paused for a moment. "You won't give her a tough time will you?" She asked unsure.

"I can't promise anything." I said bleakly.

Alice just shrugged and walk out into the hallway.

More than a month has past, so far Edward wasn't in love, and Bella wasn't dead nor a vampire. But everyday I've watched him change slowly into a different person. It's bit by bit of couse, but it's there. I can tell he's falling for her.

"Bella's going to stare at Edward in a minute. Look normal," Alice said one day in March. I noticed that she stares at Edward a lot, and he stares at her a lot. He thinks we don't notice but we do.

It disgusts me.

a/n: oh yeah it's time for this side of Rosalie we all hate, to come out with full force.
