Alice
The next day I was still thinking about whether or not I should bring up anything. I had to make up my mind quickly because if I didn't Edward would steal it from my mind before I could even get it out. Walking down the stairs I could hear everyone laughing and talking in the kitchen. Emmett was entertaining everyone with his huge ego.
"Everyone knows when it comes down to it, I'm the best baseball player in this family. I don't need to cheat like Edward. I'm a natural. Not to mention I'm just downright sexy! Bella, call Charlie because it has got to be illegal to look this good!" Laughs echo around the room.
"Alice! Jaz! Glad you two lovebirds could join the party." I shot him an annoyed look and sat down beside Esme. I started naming all the states in my head and their capitals in my head to distract my thoughts because Edward was already giving me a slit eyes.
"How was everybody's night?" Reneesmee asked in her usual happier than ever voice.
"It was fine my favorite niece."
"Auntie Rose, I'm your only niece."
"Exactly! No competition means you always win!" Rose said. Reneesmee giggled.
"So Alice, how was your night?" Edward said with extra emphasis. The events form yesterday immediately popped in my head but I blocked the thoughts. Atlanta, Georgia, Dover, Denver, Lincoln, Nebraska…
"Alice, what are you hiding?" Everybody got quiet and all eyes turned to me. I took a beat and then told them what had happened yesterday.
"Alice, why didn't you tell us?" Carlisle asked me looking hurt.
"I honestly didn't think it was a big deal." I said. Edward scoffed.
"Not a big deal? Somebody came here and was watching you. Who knows who and why that person was here? What if they attacked you? Or one of us?"
"Edward, calm down. Alice is smart. If she thought it was danger, she would have told everyone." Bella chimed in. I silently thanked her. Edward silently contemplated it and slowly began to become less tense.
"Fine, but Alice the next time, if there is a next time, you better tell us."
"I will Edward. I promise." Everybody relaxed as if they were holding their breath. I got up and kissed Edward on the cheek and walked outside. He is such a worry wart sometimes. I closed my eyes as a breeze softly tousled my hair. But I immediately became tense again. The breeze brought a scent. A familiar scent. The same scent from yesterday. Unknown is back. What do I do? I slowly follow the scent and stop in front of the edge of the forest. I still see nothing. "Shuffle." A noise above me catches my attention. I look up straight into the face of man. A feeling so deep hits me so hard I feel it in my soul. I know this man. I feel it. My mind reconnects to my body and I scream.
"Jasper!" I flint back a couple of paces and look towards the door as everyone rushes out. When I look back, he's gone.
She saw me! I forgot about masking my scent again. Darn it! I knew she knew I was there yesterday. I thought I could pull it off again for sure. Why now does she catch me? I've been watching her for a years and yesterday was the first time she sensed me. Why? "You wanted her to find you" a tiny voice in my head whispered. I did. But her little boy toy interrupted it. And then today I blow my second chance. I should have said something! But when she looked into my eyes, I got lost into the face of the girl that I loved, I lost, and the new girl that she has become. She recognized me. She might not remember who I am but she knows she knows me. Is it time to reveal myself to her? I know she's ready. I mean she's been waiting centuries to know who she is… or was. But… am I ready?
