Chapter 15
Apov
A witch! So, Bella had been right after all, I suppose. What I am confused about is how I was able to catch a vision of . I shook my head. It wasn't worth getting a headache over.
I was sitting in the Weber's living room, waiting for to come back from making tea.
Pft. What a cliché; witches drinking herbal tea. I had to refrain from laughing when Angela's mom finally came into the room with a glass of tea. I gave her one of my child-of-the-year smiles.
"Hello Mrs. Weber, how are you this beautiful morning?" Yeah, Yeah, I am well aware that I am a suck up. But it worked with Charlie, so no judging.
"Please, call me Barbara, is Phil's mom," Barbara told me, smiling, sitting
down across from me. There was an awkward silence between us for a few minutes. To be honest, it was rather uncomfortable. I cleared my throat to speak but Barbara beat me to it.
"I know why you are here…well, maybe not why exactly but I know what you and your 'family' are."
I knew there was a chance of Barbara Weber being a witch, but I most defiantly didn't expect her to know about us Cullens. I choked on my tea and looked up at her with wide, golden eyes.
"Excuse me?"
"Oh, don't play coy with me Mary-Alice Brandon, I know all about vampires," she told me, rolling her eyes. The jig was up.
I stood rock still at the mention of my full real name.
"H-how, how do you know that name?" I stammered. Who did this woman think she was? Just waltzing in here and spouting out my family's life story…okay, I was the one doing the waltzing and it was only my name.
She gave me a sad smile and moved to sit next to me and placed a hand on my knee in a comforting gesture, like how a mother would comfort a daughter in a situation like this. One of the reasons why I really liked the Weber's was because they were a good family. Kind and true-hearted.
"Oh, Alice dear, did you really come here today to discuss the topic of me knowing a lot about you? Now, what is it you really wanted to know, dear?"
"If you know so much about everything else, shouldn't you know the reason I'm here?" I asked slyly.
She shook her head with a little laugh. "No, the things I know are limited."
I braced myself looked her in the eyes, determined. I felt I could trust her. I knew I could trust her.
"Do you know what happened to Edward?"
I saw her nod and decided I would ask her how later.
"Well, I wanted to know if that was the working of a witch."
She gave me a knowing grin. "Well, of course it is, Hun."
I gave her a bewildered look. "How can you be so sure?"
"Because I was the one who did it for him," she added, smiling lightly when she finished speaking.
