"What do you mean, Alice?"
"From the moment you nearly annihilated Jane, she vowed that she would never leave us alone. She feels like she's fighting for her life now. It's not going to take long for her to convince Aro that we should be monitored. I see two possibilities. They'll either send Demetri, Felix and Jane to track Edward and Bella down on their honeymoon, or they'll send them here instead. Jane is looking for a reason to hurt us. She'll find a reason, Jasper."
This was the first time that I'd breathed a word of this to anyone. I felt panic rising in my chest as the imminent danger of our situation was made real with my words. Jasper traced his hand from my shoulder to my elbow and back. He slowly repeated this motion over and over. A gentle serenity slowly spread from the point of his touch.
"And what are you and I going to do about it, love?"
I sighed, suddenly at peace. "I see us going to Siobhan."
"Siobhan? And then what?"
I turned to look into Jasper's golden eyes. "I don't know. That's all I see, Jazz." I felt the panic rising again, and Jasper increased the pressure of his hand on my arm. I sighed.
"I don't understand, Alice."
"Neither do I. My visions just go blank after that. It's like the future doesn't exist for a little while. All I see is a white light. The next thing I know we're in Italy and Aro is promising to keep Jane at bay until the end of the year."
"Maybe the wolves are involved somehow?"
"No, it's more than that. I can't see anything after we go to Siobhan. It's not just you and I that I can't see. I don't have visions of anyone at all." I tried again to look a week into the future, but saw nothing and sighed. "I'm usually so reliable."
My face fell and Jasper caught my chin in his hand. "Don't be so hard on yourself."
"Thanks." I tried to smile bravely at Jasper, but there was no way I was fooling him. He could sense that I was worried and wrapped his arms around me and pulled me against his chest. He ran his hand through my hair and looked into my eyes. Warmth spread over me. I felt insulated by Jasper's need to protect me. But I could also feel his growing sense of alarm.
"Alice, I would do anything for our family, except lose you. That's why I couldn't stand in for Bella when Aro asked. I could never live without you. If going to Siobhan will put you in danger, then I'll face the Volturi instead."
"If you want to protect me, then come with me and keep me safe. Bringing the Volturi here would be much more dangerous, for all of us."
"Can't we just send Aro a note? Maybe a wedding announcement or something?"
I smiled despite myself. "As if a piece of paper would keep them away."
"No, things could never be that simple for the Cullens, could they?" Jasper paused. "Do you already know my decision?" he asked as his hand lightly trailed from my hair to my neck. Then his eyes followed the line his hand was tracing and it was as if he just remembered I was naked in his arms. His hand continued between my breasts, down my abdomen.
"No. You haven't made one yet," I said between quickening breaths. I felt Jasper's desire begin to reignite. Or was it mine?
"Which answer will keep you in bed with me the longest?" he joked breathlessly.
"Jasper! This is serious," I said as I swatted at his hand.
"So am I," he said, pulling my body so that it pressed firmly against his. My head fit snugly in the crook of Jasper's neck, and my leg wound around his so that his thigh rubbed where I was the most sensitive. I ran my hand down his chest, across his defined abs and then found him hard and excited for me. I grasped him firmly with my hand and leaned my mouth to his ear.
Rubbing my hand slowly back and forth along the length of him, I whispered, "Come with me... to Ireland."
"You're not playing fair, Alice," Jasper choked out. But I could feel a rumble building in his chest. I moved my hand faster.
"Come with me Jasper." I rubbed myself against his thigh.
"Alice."
Pulling myself away from him I asked, "You don't want to come?"
"I should know better than to think I could say no to you," Jasper growled playfully. "I'm coming Alice."
"You bet you are." I triumphantly dove at Jasper with enough force to tumble us both onto the floor. The house shook, the nightstand knocked against the wall and a small vase fell to the floor with a crash. We heard muffled laughter from the floor below us. "Hey, keep it down up there!" Emmett called, laughing.
Jasper's eyes glittered with mischief and I felt his pride and his love. He pulled himself on top of me. The kiss he was about to give me flashed before my eyes, and my body tingled from head to toe in anticipation. Jasper pushed the length of his body against mine and covered my mouth with his lips. I dissolved, then evaporated, lost in a cloud of happy lust. I vaguely felt my bottom lip tingle and burn as Jasper nibbled there. The taste of his venom permeated my senses, as he licked at my lips and swept his tongue into my waiting mouth.
"You're mine, Alice," he whispered with his lips against mine. "Until we leave tomorrow, you're mine. We're going to make up for the time we were apart. I'm not letting you out of my sight, or into your clothes until we leave tomorrow." My mind scanned ahead over the rest of the night and I knew what he was saying was true.
*
Jasper and I lay tangled on the floor, as the room grew light with dawn. I lazily traced my hands along the hard planes of his body, watching the way the slanting light sparkled on his scars, and floating in the mutual feeling of sweet satisfaction. I was profoundly happy to have him back with me. But I knew our perfect night was coming to an end. I could feel the tug of Jasper's practical and tactical nature. I was glad I'd have his focus for whatever was coming next.
"I don't suppose we can tell Carlisle?" he asked.
"I don't want to bring him into this."
"But doesn't he deserve to know that all of his children are putting their lives on the line?"
I sighed. Yes, he did. But I knew that the confrontation between the Cullens and the Volturi couldn't happen yet. It was too soon. There was no question that Carlisle would act if we told him now, and that we would come out on the losing end. It would come though. The future was hazy because there were too many possibilities between now and then, but I saw enough to know that the delicate balance between Aro and Carlisle would eventually come to a head.
"He's leaving this morning for Rio with Esme. We don't have to tell him anything, for now."
"Rio?"
"It was Edward's idea. He wanted Carlisle nearby in case something happens to Bella on Isle Esme. Carlisle and I don't think it's necessary, but you know Edward."
"It's sweet, kind of, in a neurotically overprotective way."
"Well if it helps Edward loosen up."
"Hey, speaking of that, you want to come check out the damage in his bedroom with me?"
"Doesn't that strike you as a bit voyeuristic, Jasper?"
Jasper smirked at me. "You're one to talk."
We looked around for some clothes and I threw on Jasper's tuxedo shirt and he tugged on his pants from the night before. We made our way quickly and quietly to the end of the hall. Carmen and Eleazar were coming out of Edward's room chuckling like children.
We grinned at each other on the landing. "Emmett," was all Eleazar said. Carmen put her hand over her eyes, more than a little embarrassed. She walked quickly down the hall and I heard her giggle as she flew down the stairs.
"I've known the boy many years. I truly didn't believe..." Eleazar stopped and tried to keep a straight face. "I think he's more like his cousins than he would like to admit. I should go find Carmen." He ducked away.
"Poor Bella! She'll be mortified! I can't believe Emmett!"
"Can't you? Of course he would say something! I'm sure Edward must have known he would."
"Do you really think?"
"I'm not exactly sure what happened back here when we were gone," Jasper took my hand and led me into Edward's bedroom. The iron headboard and footboard lay collapsed in on the mattress. Pieces of detailed ironwork littered the floor. "But the old Edward would never have done that. And if he did, Emmett and I would never have known a thing about it."
Jasper smiled and shook his head. "Only Edward could manage this with a human. I'm happy for him."
"Let's get out of here, Jazz. This is just wrong." As we were leaving, we bumped into Kate in the hallway.
"Hi Kate. What are you doing up here on the third floor?" Jasper smiled, enjoying the feeling of her sheepishness.
"Well..."
Before Kate could answer we heard Esme call us from the first floor. "Alice, Jasper? We're leaving."
I took Jasper's hand and pulled him out of the room. Kate followed us after taking a quick peak for herself.
Jasper and I stopped on the first floor landing. Carlisle was near the back wall speaking with Eleazar, Carmen and Tanya. Eleazar had his arm around Carmen's waist, while Tanya stared out back toward the river.
"Thank you all for coming. It meant so much to Edward and Bella, and to Esme and I. I value the support our families have given one another, and I don't want to see anything come between us again. Please send my best to Irina. Tell her that I would sincerely like to talk, as soon as she's ready."
Tanya turned from the windows. "No, I'm sorry Carlisle. You and your family have never done anything to harm us, and we shouldn't have let the actions of a pack of wolves, or our own personal disappointment, come between us."
I saw some of the mirth fall from Jasper's face as Tanya spoke. I saw a fleeting vision of Tanya alone in her room in Denali, staring out a window, like she had been doing just now.
Esme walked over to her, "Thank you Tanya. We love you all like family. I'm so glad that we remain united. You're clan will forever hold a place in my heart. You were all so instrumental in helping me when Carlisle, Edward and I showed up on your doorstep so many years ago."(See "The Newborn", Chapter 3!) Esme gave Tanya a warm hug and I watched as Tanya let herself sink into the embrace. I felt so bad for her, but I wasn't sure why.
Carlisle turned to face the rest of his family, while Esme continued to hold Tanya.
"Emmett, Rose, Jasper, Alice, could Esme and I speak with you for a moment before we go?"
I had known that this was coming and I took a deep breath and straightened my shoulders, resolving to bend the truth just enough. Jasper felt the change in my mood and his body stiffened next to mine. He grabbed hold of my hand. Our cousins courteously disappeared out the back door.
"Alice told us that you weren't with Peter and Charlotte," Carlisle began. I watched Emmett clench his jaw and cast an alarmed look in my direction. I knew that Emmett wasn't going to slip and I tried giving him a reassuring look. Rose clutched his hand and put her other arm around his shoulders.
"Alice also told us that whatever you were up to, it was for the benefit of your brother and his wife. Esme and I are so proud to see you support one another like that. But in the future, it's important that we discuss things as a family. Please, tell me you won't leave like that again."
I watched Emmett breath a sigh of relief. "Carlisle, I'm staying here. I don't want to leave Forks again, like ever. I mean I know we'll have to go eventually, but you have my word, I'm here until..." Emmett's voice trailed off. He couldn't say exactly when he was here until.
"Carlisle, we won't leave like that again." Rose finished for Emmett.
I could feel Jasper's conflicted emotions and I clutched his hand.
"Carlisle, in that case I should tell you that Jasper and I are going to Ireland for a couple of weeks. We might stop in and see Siobhan while we're there. Jasper and I could use some time alone - just for us. It was almost a month, and well, umm..."
I let my voice trail off and looked at the ground. Jasper decided to play along and kissed my neck and ran his hand over my backside. He turned my face to his and pressed his lips hungrily against mine. An unexpected wave of lust washed over me. I didn't usually invite this kind of attention in front of my family and Jasper was excited by the opportunity. He pulled my body flush with his. Yep, I could feel his excitement all right.
I glanced warily at my parents. Esme smiled at Jasper and I while Carlisle was searching for anything else in the room to concentrate on.
"I don't think you're ready to leave the house, if you ask me," Emmett joked. "She might not mind the making out, but I'm pretty sure Siobhan might want you guys to at least wear clothes."
I wrapped my arms around myself. I'd forgotten I was only wearing Jasper's shirt. Jasper sensed my growing embarrassment and I immediately felt his lust subside. Instead, he stared intently at Emmett, who stopped laughing and stepped self- consciously behind Rose.
Rose jumped forward a little. "Emmett!"
"Get a hold of yourself, Emmett." Jasper chuckled. Emmett pulled Rose against him like a shield and glowered at Jasper.
Carlisle was at a loss, and Esme tugged at his hand, leading him to the door with a huge smile on her face. "Well, have fun Jasper and Alice. You deserve some time together. We'll see you all in a few days."
The four of us relaxed into vampire stillness as we listened to Carlisle and Esme load the car and make their way down the drive. We stayed like until we heard the noise from the engine fade into the distance. But then Emmett and Rose were quickly in front of us.
"What are you two up to?"
"We're going to Ireland," I tried.
Rose looked at me skeptically and Emmett just shook his head. I sighed, knowing they wouldn't accept a word but the truth.
"OK, it's the Volturi again."
"I knew it wasn't over," Emmett said, and cursed under his breath.
"Alice," Rose said as she took my hand, "you and Jasper can't go. It should be Emmett and I. We're already in it up to our eyeballs. You guys are the safe ones. If something happens to you too..."
"Rose, how many times do I have to tell you that Bella will be one of us by the end of the year. You and Emmett will never have to go."
"But still, Alice, it's not right to put you two in danger."
"I see a hell of a lot more danger if we let them come to us."
Jasper tightened his grip on me. "Her mind's made up, guys. I can feel it. I tried to talk her out of it, but she's going. And I won't let her go alone."
"This is nuts," Emmett said. "We should just fight it out and get it over with."
I knew that fight would come eventually, but I kept quiet. It would be a while before we had to worry about that. I tried to bury my emotions, but I saw Jasper's eyes flicker in my direction.
"Emmett, I would think you had enough fighting for now," I said to my brother.
I looked to Rose, hoping for some feminine support. "Please just keep Carlisle and Esme calm. We'll be in touch as much as we can be. I know I don't deserve your trust after what I put you through, but give me another chance."
"Are you sure about this, Alice? They're no joke. I think they're after us."
"Rose, I met them all when Bella and I went for Edward last year. I see them whenever I close my eyes. I know what they're after. That's why I have to go." I didn't add that I'd never send my siblings in harm's way again. I'd learned my lesson.
Rose hugged me. "I don't like this." She turned to Jasper. "You better keep her safe."
Jasper pulled me into his arms and the force of his love nearly burned where we touched. "I'm never letting her go again, Rose. She'll be safe with me."
