CHAPTER 13
ALICE POV
"How do you know?" Edward asked as he looked straight at me. The poor guy, I felt bad for him. I mean, yeah, I wanted to smack him across the head with this season's latest Louis Vuitton bag, but he obviously was just lost and confused. It didn't take a mind reader to see that he felt responsible for all of this. The thing that had me worried was the fact that I couldn't see into his future. In fact, that scared the daylights out of me. Carlisle's theory on me not seeing the future of the wolves was that I had never been a wolf. I only see what I am or have been. So, the fact that I couldn't see into Edward's future had be on the edge. He wasn't fully human. If he wasn't that, then what was he? I was brought out of my thoughts when I saw Edward was still watching me with weary eyes.
"I just know, Edward. It doesn't hurt to have a little optimism! Also, you have me helping you out." With that I gave him the cheekiest grin I could muster up. That was, until I heard Jasper mutter, "God help us all." under his breath. I shot my hand out and smacked the back of his head with the back of my hand. Make that two people who were going to be smacked with a Louis Vuitton bags. Such a waste for the bag too. I huffed out a breath and stomped out to Carlisle office, leaving a sullen Edward and a chuckling Jasper who was still rubbing the back of his head. When I looked over my shoulder, Jasper gave me a wink and whispered "Love tap." Yeesh, he was hanging out with Emmett too much. I knocked on Carlisle's open office door and his head snapped up.
"Oh, yes Alice?" Just the sound of his tired voice brought a pain to my chest. It's not often vampire's get that tone in voice. I just sat down at the edge of one of his chairs and fiddled with my freshly painted nails. I looked up and cleared my throat. "Edward's not fully human…..is he?" I paused, not liking the wording and quickly changed it. "I mean, if he were, I'd be able to see his future right? That was your theory. I can't make any sense of it. I've tried pushing into his future but that doesn't work at all." By the time I was finished with my rant I had my brows furrowed up and my lips with jutted out in a frustrated pout. Carlisle ran his hands down his face. I noticed he had lost all hope and light in his eyes. He was grasping at any leads for Edward's condition. Carlisle was the one who held this family together. He was the strong one, so when he lost hope? Things were apocalypse bad. "I don't know Alice. I just, I honestly don't know. I've called the Denali's to see if they could have any answers, but they have no clue. To tell you the truth I'm desperate enough to ask the Volturi! God knows they would use that to their advantage." He was shaking his head by know and I stood, raising my voice. "You can't call the Volturi! You can't! What if…" I lowered my voice when I spoke the last bit. "What if they are behind it?" This sounded ridiculous even to my ears, but what if they could? I wouldn't put it past them. They seemed to find all the powerful vampires, why not find one who could manipulate nature? "Wait!"
I squealed out. Carlisle looked at me like I lost my mind as I was jumping up and down squealing. "I know! I just had a thought and I know! I have to go, thanks for the talk, pops." And when that, I dashed out, leaving a very confused Carlisle in my wake. I was going to go up to my room to look through some old papers and books when none other than Lexi stepped in my path. I don't know why, but I really wanted to rip out this chick's auburn curls. I was super suspicious of her and crossed my arms when I noticed her.
"Can I help you?" I raised my brow at her face. Ugh! She obviously is using cheap store brand make-up. She just gave me a smirk. "No thanks, pixie-puff, I think Edward helps me with everything I need." She popped her lips at the end. Oh, no she didn't! I narrowed my eyes at her. I could definitely take her out. Before I could do anything I would most certainly not regret, Jasper was at my side with his arms round my shoulders giving Lexi a death glare I hope to never be on the receiving end of. He ushered me to our room, not ending his glare at the fashion disaster wanna-be until we were out of sight. "I so could have taken her! Why did you have to interrupt? Gosh, did you hear what she said? I cannot believe her!" I had my tiny fists balled up ready to punch someone when Jazzy just laughed and grabbed my wrists, pushing me against a wall and leaning forward. "Slow down there, Rocky. She was just looking for a reaction. Now why don't you tell me what you were so excited about before she happened?" Lord almighty, his accent just makes me drool. He must have sense my mood because he leaned down and planted a mouth-watering kiss on my lips. Before I could react he had already pulled back and was staring down at me with his trademark smirk. Always the tease, Whitlock. I thought in my head. "I think I found another major missing piece to the Edward Puzzle." He looked shocked when I spoke and I could see the glint of excitement in my eyes through the reflection in his. "A very big puzzle piece."
