Chapter Sixteen

I sat around and watched as everyone trained. I will be honest, it was a bit terrifying to see them all so … violent. I knew what they were capable of doing but to see them go at each other was actually really difficult to watch. To see little Collin and Brady take on the giant, neanderthal sized Felix; had me jumping in my seat from the sidelines. The wolves were all phased and the vampires were defending only themselves.

Everyone switched partners and, me being the worried pack mama I used to be, watched as Collin and Brady went to go against Jane and Alec. I knew what Jane's power was and I was thankful that she wasn't allowed to use it against the pack. Jasper and Peter excused themselves when Jasper got a call from Aro. I'm guessing that it was really personal because they both took off back towards the house away from all the super-hearing ears.

I was still grinning like an idiot, after Jasper blew me a kiss, and I kept watching in the direction they ran in but was startled out of my love-haze by a loud yelp that went up around the field all of a sudden and I watched as everyone in the field dropped to the ground and started to twitch and cry out from an unknown pain. I thought that maybe Jane wasn't playing fair but then I noticed that I was the only one that was still standing.

Before I knew what was going on, it was like I blinked and my entire world was replaced around me, I was in a completely different area. My family no longer surrounded me where they were laying in pain, but, I was in an area that was well covered by trees. A cold wind flew passed me from my right and then another from my left.

I jumped back in shock at seeing none other than Edward and Alice standing in front of me.

Alice's pixie like face was in a twisted snarl, her nose scrunched and red eyes looked as if she was trying to kill me just with her stare. Edward didn't look much better. His eyes were black as pitch and his lips were pulled over his teeth. The deep growl coming from his chest was like nothing I'd ever heard before. I stood there frozen, completely unable to speak or move or even breathe. Edward was before me faster than I could even comprehend. He grabbed my chin in his hand and forced me to look into his black eyes.

Edward turned my face a few times before speaking. “Age has made you less horrendous to look at. But I must say that your scent is a bit different.”

“She smells like him!” Alice hissed from behind Edward.

Edward leaned in closer to where his nose was touching my neck and inhaled deeply, sending a shiver of disgust through my entire body.

“You let him taint you!” He shouted. “I had to fight you off with every thing I had. And now you've known Jasper all of two months and you already jumped into a bed with him?!”

I could feel the anger bubbling up inside of me. How dare he say something like that to me. All I could do was scoff and jerk my chin from his grasp.

“Answer me!?” he demanded.

Shaking my head slowly, I kept my gaze on Alice.

She was still staring at me with pure hatred. I wanted nothing more than to punch her in her pretty little face. If only it wouldn't break my hand in the process. Fuck, now is the time I need that crowbar Jake offered me years ago. I felt Edward stiffen in front of me and turned back around to look at me. His mouth was hanging open and he looking completely surprised.

“How.. I just..” he stuttered. His nostrils flared and he turned and hissed at Alice.

I was honestly getting impatient with these two. If they were going to kill me they might as well get it over with. I noticed the two of them were having a silent conversation and it was more annoying now then it was back in high school. Huffing out a breath, I began to tap my foot on the moist ground.

Alice noticed my change in stance and glared at me yet again. “I don't know why you are acting that way.” She spat. “You are really in no position to think you have a right to act like an ignorant child. Let the big kids talk for a moment then I will get on with the plan.”

“What plan?” Edward ask with a look of confusion on his face.

“The plan I have been keeping from you silly. The one where I let Maria and her friend Sasha have you so I can kill dearest Isabella here, of course that will be a very slow and long process hon.” She smiled at me. “Then once I am finished taking out the trash I will get my Jazzy and we can go on with our lives.”

What the...?

Out of no where a tall olive skinned women was holding Edward to the ground while another women with the a deeper skin tones and long black hair came out from behind the trees. Placing a sweet kiss on Alice's cheek she walked over and delivered a swift kick to Edward's stomach and another to his face. You could hear the crack of his stone flesh echo throughout the forest.

Alice gave a tinkling laugh as she filtered over to where I was standing in complete shock. “Now sweet, I think its time you and I played for a bit.”

With a flick of her wrist, I felt the bones in my upper arm shatter in her grasp. She clucked her tongue at me when I screamed out in pain before she clamped her hand over my mouth.

“Shh now, we don't want anyone to hear. No need to have others to come to your rescue because I will be sure to kill you before they ever arrive.” Alice hissed.

This time she grabbed a hold of my right wrist and twisted, causing all of the bones to snap inside. I had to bite my lip to keep from screaming. My teeth had ended up cutting clean through my lip as I held down on it long after Alice removed her hand from my face.

“Would you like to know why I am doing this?” she whispered in my ear.

She must have taken my silence as an okay to continue on. Actually I was in so much pain that I was afraid I was going to scream if I opened my mouth.

Alice tapped her chin as she stood in front of me and started speaking again. “You see, my first vision ever was of Jasper. It showed him and I in love. Being together in every way possible. But then one day that vision changed. At first it was of the new girl that we would be meeting the next spring. I saw Edward happy for the first time in my life.”

“After that stupid baseball game though, everything was different. I no longer saw Edward with you. What I saw was Jasper in bed with a brunette women. They were completely wrapped up in one another. I cannot control my visions, so I cant just stop watching them. This was one of the longest ones I had ever had.”

With a sigh she continued. “Everyone had left the house empty that night for Carlisle and Esme's anniversary. Edward and I were the first ones to make it back home and that was when I had the vision of Jasper with the women. Right before the vision ended, Jasper pulled away from the women and we saw that it was you. You were going to cheat on Edward and Jasper was going to cheat on me.”

Cheat? I would have never cheated on Edward. Jasper was completely devoted to Alice then so I knew that it never would have happened. Hell, Jasper wasn't even aloud in the same room as me unless the entire family was with us.

“Do you want to know why your birthday party ended the way it did? Because I made it happen that way.” She snarled. “See, Edward and I weren't going to let you two go and ruin things for us. We went around and did what you two were going to do. I must say you did miss out on an amazing sex partner, Edward was much better than Jasper ever thought about when it comes to just fucking.”

I was disgusted by her words and I am pretty sure it showed.

“Now Isabella, no need for the nasty looks. I am just telling you our side of the story because I saw Jasper told you his.”

“Why?” I whispered. “Why are you doing this to me now? Why couldn't you just leave us alone?”

A sharp slap was delivered to my cheek. “Because you went and fucked everything up. If it weren't for you coming to Forks then I wouldn't have lost my mate, Edward wouldn't have changed and the family would have been just fine. Because of you, everything was going to change. I saw that I was never meant to be with Jasper forever. I was only there to help him get to you. Edward is suppose to be my mate but guess what! You doesn't want me! He is so stuck on his first lust with you that he doesn't even see me as anything other than a sister that he fucked to piss off his girlfriend and brother. He threw me away like trash after I told him the truth!”

Edward was struggling on the ground against the women. “Don't believe anything she says about me Bella! I never touched her! I love you! Remember, I promised you that I would always love you. I made a mistake when I left you Bella but after I heard you killed yourself by jumping off a cliff, I went to die too. You know why? Because I couldn't stand to live knowing that it was my fault you were dead. I wanted to join you in death, Bella.”

I had my broken wrist cradled in my other arm as I stood there looking at the people I once loved. I listened to his words but I didn't believe him. Alice, I actually believed. With the way I felt about Jasper right now, I knew he and I were meant to be together. I loved him more than anything and I just wished I wasn't here right now so I could tell him one more time before his ex wife killed me.

Alice must not have liked my silence because she slapped me again, hard enough to make my already split lip bleed more. “Are you even going to say anything!?” She hissed.

I love you, Jasper. I'm so sorry. I whispered in my head.

Licking my bottom lip and popping my jaw that she had been hitting. I sneered at her, “Go fuck yourself.” I spoke out loud, spitting my blood onto her face.
