The whole room was a mess. Porcelain bits and fragments littered the floor. It was like walking into a aftermath of someone plowing a tractor through the living room.
Bella was still screaming in agony, her shrieks puncturing the otherwise still air. I shuddered, moaning. Jasper was down at a flash. "Alice! What's wrong?" He asked, his eyes frantic with panic. I've always wondered what it would be like if the way we, as vampires, feel about our true partners was just ordinary love and not overwhelming. Would the concern be stiffling until the point of suffocation? Or would it be hard to resist the level of adoration? Not that I was complaining, it just gives one much food for thought. Jasper was still waiting for my answer. "Nothing." I said, glancing upstairs.
The door bell rang just as the smell of wolf hit our nose. Urg. The pack didn't usually come to our house. Except Jacob. But you'll probably know that already. So yeah. I danced to get the door while Jasper shadowed me, placing his hand on the small of my back.
"So what do you want Sam?" Jasper asked once we got the door open. "Did you clear the future?" I threw in before he could answer.
"We decided that, since Bella has superb control, we think that Renee should be safe, and not in any immediate danger. But apparantly, that was not the case." he said solemly.
"So how will we deal with this mess?" I asked.
" I honestly don't know."
Bella screamed and something upstairs shattered and crashed. Sam shuddered visibly.
"Jazz, go calm her down. Stop her. She is... terrifying me." I whispered, too low for Sam to hear. He breezed out of the room.
Sam and I stared at each other, a foot apart. "Aunty Alice?" came an angelic voice. Renesmee. "Yes?" I said as I whipped around. Renesmee ran to me and i crouched down, my arms wide. I scooped her up and she placed her hand on my neck.
what happened to mommy?
"I don't know." I told her. Lying. I saw Sam stiffen from the corner of my eyes. He knew I was lying but it was of our priority to protect Renesmee. So he didnt say anything.
"Yes you do, Aunty Alice. You do know what happen." Renesmee argued, her lips pouting out. "Why can't you tell me?"
"Renesmee, nothing happened, really." Sam said.
She stared at him, then at me. " Fine. I'll go ask Daddy and Mommy myself!" She said, struggling out of my arms.
Shoot! Edward, get your butt down here and get Nessie out! I yelled in my thoughts.
He was down in a flash. "Mind your language, Alice. Work on your lie." He said, far too low for both Sam and Renesmee to hear.
You should be paying better attention down here then scolding me. It's not My fault that she suspects that we are lying. I thought, hurt.
"Nessie, lets go out." Edward said, shrugging into a coat.
"Okay." Nessie replied. She went to Edward and he carried her out. I heard the beep of his volvo in the garage and the engine being started before purring away.
I stared at nothing for awhile. Then i stalked for the stairs. When i got to the second floor, there were sounds coming from Emm and Rose's room. I walked to the door and twisted the door knob. It was locked. There were no sound. Suddenly Bella's voice could be heard. "Let me go! I need her blood! I need it!" she screeched.
"Emm? Open up!" I yelled through the noise.
"No, Alice! Bella is out of control! Stay there or you might get hurt!" Carlisle yelled, his voice full of panic. Oh, so it was about MY safety?
What the heck. I thought. I walked back a few steps, and I flew forward, thrusting all my strenghth at the door. But I mis-culculated and the door flew open and I bashed straight into the bed frame. I righted myself and the first thing i saw was Bella. Her eyes were whirling wildly out of control, the look of torture in them. Her mouth was twisted into a grimace and she was struggling. Then i realised that Carlisle and Emmett were holding on to her arms and that she was trashing wildly, struggling to get free. Oh my god.
I stared at her wide eyed, my mouth popping open into a O. Jasper, seeing my distress, sent a calm wave into the room. I calmed down at once, my anxiety evaporated, yet the effect of it on Bella was subtle. Jasper walked to my side and hugged me. But I stiffened.
Renesmee walked into the room. We were all there and Bella was still out of control. Esme tried to bribe Nessie out of the room while the rest of us convergeed together to block Bella from her point of view. Renesmee refused. And started talking. As she talked, Bella stopped trashing and slowly gained control of herself. Bella collapsed on the floor and Renesmee ran forward, ignoring our warnings. Edward and Nessie has decided to take things into their own hands after all.
I will continue the story in another entry.
Alice
