Sadly Beautiful

It's been ages since I last uploaded, in my defense I finished this a week ago and just forgot about it. I know, I know, that was stupid and I let you down. I'm sure you'll all recover.

In other news, it's half term which is nice and I got contact lenses, finally. So this is my first chapter,ever, writing with them in. Maybe they'll be lucky and make this chapter amazing?

Didn't know what to call this chapter, went with a stupid name. Forgive me?:3 This chapter is shorter than the last, I just had to get something out after so long. Sorry again!

I hope you all enjoy.

Chapter fourteen - Sparring session

I slept well and woke up feeling refreshed, being in Alice's arms helped a lot as well. I sighed happily and nuzzled into her, happy that I'd finally found someone I loved. I released myself from her grip and kissed her lightly on the lips, before whispering lovingly to her, "You're such a good singer, you're perfect in every way."

She shook her head and opened her mouth to argue but I silenced her quickly with a kiss, not wanting her to deny the truth. She mumbled incoherently into my mouth but she gave up quickly, deepening the kiss instead.

After a few minutes, we broke apart and I quickly got changed so we could head downstairs. I wanted to stay in her room and cuddle for a while but she insisted that we see her family, apparently there had been a 'development' while I was asleep. When she said this I knew that it had to be important, so I might as well go and see what was happening.

Alice scooped me up in her arms, bridal style, and carried me slowly downstairs. I think she went slowly so that I didn't get nauseous, which I was thankful for. She put me down in the living room, on the couch, before curling up into my lap. Once we were both comfortable, we turned our attention to Carlisle, who was waiting to speak.

"I'm sure most of you are aware, besides Bella obviously, that there have been recent vampire activity in Seattle. Jasper and I were talking this through and we think that it may be a newborn army."

This statement was followed by gasps of shock from the entire coven, aside from Jasper, Edward and Carlisle. Edward and Jasper had both been discussing it, so neither of them reacted and Edward must have been listening to their thoughts for a while. Meaning that he wasn't phased, he didn't look happy though, not that he ever did.

He laughed at my thoughts and stuck his tongue out. I laughed and mentally flipped him off. He scowled, only making me laugh harder. He mumbled something under his breath but I couldn't hear what he said, Alice did frown and hiss though. Carlisle coughed to get our attention, he was smiling though.

"A newborn army is a large amount of newly created vampires under the control of a person, or a group of people. Because we're more powerful when we're first turned, these armies are almost impossible to kill."

Seeing the fear in his eyes when he said this and the glance he shot at Esme when he was finished, made me realise how serious this really was. I hugged Alice closer to me and address the room.

"Well, what can we do?" I asked seriously. All the humor had evaporated from the room from the last statement Carlisle said, everyone knew how serious this situation could prove to be.

"Nothing, we just wait to see what happens, with Alice monitoring the progress we should be fine." Everyone seemed happy about this and no one said anything else for a while.

We all sat there, cuddling with our respective partners, Edward was staring out the window, and enjoying the quite moment we had. Eventually Edward, for whatever reason, stood up and left without saying anything. No one said anything until he was out of the room, I shared a look with Alice but didn't ask her why he'd left.

I sat up suddenly, almost knocking Alice off my lap. "Oh shit we're going to be late for school, we better hurry!" Before Alice had a chance to reply, Emmet burst into booming laughter and almost doubled over. Alice giggled as well, before hopping off my lap and opening the blinds. I saw the sunlight trickling through and understood.

"Oooh" I exclaimed, earning another laughing fit from Emmet. I looked at Alice pleadingly, she understood and quickly hit Emmet hard on the back of the head. He groaned and was smart enough not to laugh at me again.

Alice smirked and bounced back to me, gently jumping back onto my lap. I laughed and kissed the top of her head, inhaling deeply. I loved her scent, she smelled delicious. Alice's body stiffened suddenly.

She stayed like this for a few minutes, before her body relaxed and she curled back into me. I was going to question her about what had happened but I decided that it could wait, I didn't want to ruin the moment that we were having. Moments like these seemed so rare, there was always some sort of drama getting in the way, so I made sure to enjoy them when they came.

We stayed like this for a few hours, until my rumbling stomach ruined the moment. She giggled and quickly went to the kitchen, returning in a few seconds with a sandwich and a drink. I smiled gratefully and spent a few minutes eating, stroking her hair as I ate.

I was starting to think my girlfriend might secretly be a cat, not a vampire. Right as I thought this, she started purring. I laughed at my joke and patted her head softly, she giggled but continued to purr.

Jasper, who had left earlier, walked back into the room with Edward. They both walked in front of us and Jasper addressed Alice, "We're going to do some sparring, just as a precaution because of the vampire situation in Seattle, do you want to join us?" Alice looked my way but Edward answers her unasked question.

"Of course she can watch, it'd probably put her at ease if you ever did have to fight." Alice seemed satisfied and hopped off my lap. She quickly pulled me, gently, into her arms and 'we' set off out of the house. I buried my head into Alice's shoulder as she ran, thankfully she didn't run for very long so it wasn't too bad.

She set me down in the middle of a clearing, next to Esme and the rest of the family formed a circle in the center of the clearing.

Jasper spoke to the group, "The newborns will fight like children. The most important things you'll need to be aware of are, first, don;t let them get their arms around you and don't go for the obvious kill. Both of these things will get you killed. It's all they'll be prepared for."

He stopped for a second, allowing us time to digest the information. When he was satisfied that we'd had enough time, he waved Emmet forward. "Emmet, you're first because you're the most like a newborn. Only because you rely on your strength and you're very straightforward about the attack. The newborns won't be subtle either, just fight like you normally would."

They both sqaured up to each other.

Emmet charged him like a bear, grinning while he snarled. Emmet ws impossibly quick, but Jasper was faster. It looked like Jasper had no more substance than a ghost, any time it seemed Emmet's hands hand him for sure, he missed.

Beside me, Esme chuckled. Emmet froze suddenly and Jasper was behind him, his teeth inches from his throat. Emmet swore loudly, causing everyone to laugh.

"Again" Emmet insisted, his smile gone.

"It's my turn," Edward protested.

"In a minute." Jasper grinned, stepping backwards to the center of the clearing again. "I want to prove something to Bella.

I watched anxiously as he waved Alice forward.

"I know you worry about her," he explained to me as she moved gracefully into the 'ring.' "I want to show you that you really don't need to."

I knew that Jasper would never hurt her, hurt my tiny little Alice, but it was still hard to watch as he sank into a crouch. Alice stood motionlessly, looking tinier than usual, smiling to herself. Jasper moved forward, impossibly fast.

Alice closed her eyes, still not moving. My heart was going crazy as I was watching, my urge to help my mate was consuming me, Esme seemed to understand because she wrapped a comforting arm around me.

Jasper pounced forward, disappearing from my view. He landed suddenly directly behind Alice, even though it didn't look like she had moved. He sprang again, he landed in the same position as before, Alice was still standing with her eyes closed, smiling.

I watched Alice more carefully as he prepared to pounce again. She was moving, I'd just been missing it, distracted by Jasper's attacks. She took a small step forward at the exact second that Jasper's body flew through the spot that she'd just been standing in.

They both increased their speed, but Jasper couldn't touch her. Alice looked like she was dancing through the air, gracefully avoiding all of his attacks. She continued this for about a minute, before she suddenly laughed.

She was perched on Jasper's neck, her mouth positioned almost directly onto his throat. "Gotcha," she said before hopping off and walking towards me.

Jasper chuckled, shaking his head and moving back to the center of the clearing, "You certainly are unique."

Alice took a seat beside me, pulling me gently onto her lap. "Cool, huh?" She asked me smugly.

"Very" I agreed, watching Edward and Jasper fighting. Edward was even faster than Jasper was, which was very impressive.

Edward has closed on Jasper, this fight was more even than the others were. Jasper had lots more experience than Edward did, and he fought mainly on instincts, but Edward could read his thoughts and counter quickly. They fought for a long time, neither was able to gain an advantage over the other. Eventually, they broke apart and eyes each other warily, before bowing to one another.

Everyone took turns fighting against Jasper, Jasper won all the fights but some were closer than others. I had to turn around as Jasper fought against Esme, it seemed so odd that anyone would even consider hurting her.

It got more difficult to watch the fighting as I got more and more tired, I hadn't realised how much this trip had taken out of me, I was over due a nap. My eye lips drooped, I rested my head against Alice's shoulder and she gently picked me up.

"I'm going to take her home, she's exhausted." She told the others.

She ran into the woods, my eyes were closed but I could feel her running. It felt good when I was this relaxed, almost like she was flying. This was probably due to how graceful this was. After about a minute, Alice stopped suddenly, her body stiffening. She stayed like this for a few minutes, before she relaxed, then clenched up again.

"FUCK...NO!" She almost screamed this, and ran incredibly fast back to the house. When we got in, she set me down on the couch, and handed me a cell phone.

"Call Carlisle, tell him it's an emergency and he needs to get back here as fast as he can, okay?" Almost as soon as she stopped talking, the house phone rang. I was panicking at this point, but I followed her instruction. I found his number on Alice's speed dial and phoned.

He answered almost instantly. "Yes Alice?" He asked.

"Carlisle, it's me Bella. Alice said there was an emergency and you need to get here as soon as possible." He hung up as soon as I was finished, I dropped the phone onto the sofa next to me, waiting.

He arrived after a few minutes, Alice whispered into his ear the moment he arrived. I only picked up a few words because of how quietly and quickly she was talking. What I heard though, caused me to panic.

"Charlie... Wolves... Accident... Critical."

This couldn't be happening, something couldn't happen to Charlie, my dad.

Not sure how this went, please feel free to suggest anything.

Until next time :)
