Hi!! Ok for those of you who read this or others of mine, I will answer the question before you ask. Yes I will write another Emmett, it will be up tonight...but how soon I don't know....between a half and full hour?
"Oh Alice, I'm sorry that was all there is. The end just stopped, the page is smudged and there isn't anymore written." Edward said as he gently placed the book back into my lap.
We sat there for a while, none of us saying anything. I don't think there were words that would help what we just read.
I was so hurt, that was my father. Why wouldn't he comfort me? Why would he stop my mother from helping me? I couldn't make it make sense.
"Alice? Alice??" Jasper said as he shook my shoulders.
"Yes, we should go now. We have to camp." I said shutting myself down.
I knew this wasn't the best response but it was the only response I could handle at this point. My heart was broken and I wanted to be alone, I knew that these two weren't going to let me be alone for a while and deep down I was greatfull for that.
--------------------------------------------------
"We should get back, they will come looking for us again." Jasper said as he stood up and offered his hand to help me up.
I took his hand as Edward jumped to his feet. We all started walking back to the campground, no one saying a word. I think we were all processing everything and both of them knew better then to try and get me to talk right now.
We walked out of the woods, and much to our suprise a family had set up camp where we entered/exited the woods.
"Oh, we're sorry." Edward said as the father stood up and walked over.
"We got lost in the woods, we thought we would come out near the trail but obviously we were off by a bit." I said in my sweet voice.
"Oh, no problem. I'm glad you kids found your way out." He said smiling down at me.
I looked around the fire pit and saw a woman about 40, two teenage girls who were trying there hardest not to get cought looking at Edward and Jasper and a boy about 12. He looked at me and I smiled at him. He instantly turned a deep shade of red and had to look away.
The girls thought that this was hillarious, there brother being embarresed by looking at a girl. I instantly felt bad for the poor thing. After everything I had just read I felt protective.
"Edward help him." I said so quiet that no one else would hear but us three.
Edward looked over at Jasper and winked. The two of them walked over and knelt between the girls.
"Hi, I'm Edward. This is Jasper, how are you girls doing this evening?" Edward said, dazzling the poor things before they had a clue as to what was going on.
They both sat there for a minute, niether of them saying a word. The little boy started laughing as hard as he could, the dad joined in thinking it was funny how his daughters reacted.
The sound of the laughter brought them out of it, they both shook their heads and looked around very embarred.
"I..I...I'm Kate, and this is Sara." The first one said, stuttering and avoiding looking at Jasper or Edward.
"Yeah." Sara said, blushing deep red because she could only make one word answers.
"Well it's very nice to meet all of you, sorry again to interupt. We must be getting back, our mother and father will be getting worried about us." I said as I walked over to the boys.
"Very nice meeting all of you, Kate, Sara." Jasper said as he stood up and moved to my left side.
"Have a good night." Edward said as he walked over and stood on my right side.
I hooked my arms through theirs and we walked over to our camp site. About half way there we all began laughing, we had more fun in that few minutes then I had had in a long time.
We walked into our site still laughing, Jasper keep making fun of Edward and his "skills." When we entered the site Esme, and Carlisle were sitting by the fire having a private conversation. Emmett was standing by a tree looking for something to do, obviously bored out of his mind. The tent to our left unzipped and Rose climbed out wearing a diffrent outfit then the one that she had been wearing when we arrived.
"It's about time!" Emmett said as he walked over and punched Jasper and Edward in the arm.
"Yes, let's talk for a minute." Carlisle said as he motioned for us to take the seats around the fire.
We all sat down, knowing that he was going to have a family meeting....again.
"Ok, we all know the rules." He said as he looked in my direction.
"Sorry, I just wanted to know what was happening. I figured you all would think I was hunting and would not miss me." I said quietly.
"Regardless, you know the rule. No going off alone during the day unless you have someone with you." He said sternly.
"Sorry Carlisle." I said.
"Don't do it again, now about dinner." He said as he looked around the fire.
The sun was beginning to set, the plan was that once the other families went to sleep we would all go in groups of two or three, in diffrent directions and hunt. We would all meet back here before dawn and would all go to "bed" so that we could continue the charade of camping.
I smiled at Jasper and noticed that Edward was going to go hunting North with Rosalie and Emmett. That was a little suprising since he and Rose hadn't been on the best terms, but hopefully that was all worked out by now. Carlisle and Esme would go West and would most likely be back before all of us. Finally, Jasper and I would go East. All of us knew the plan, yet Carlisle felt it was necessary to remind us all that we needed to watch how much we killed one certain animal. He didn't want to affect the animal population too much so we all knew to look for diffrent animals.
We all went into our tents to get ready/go to bed. Jasper and I laid down, I rest my head on his chest as he wrapped his arms around me. It seemed like we were laying there forever when I heard a zipper on another tent.
"Jazz, before you go can I ask you a question?" I said quietly.
He wrapped his arms around me again and kissed my nose.
"Anything, you know that." He said, concerned about my tone.
"Do you mind if I bring the book with, maybe after we hung we could read more?" I asked.
"Of course love, I think that is a wonderful idea, as long as you feel up to it. I know this is all taking it's toll on you." He said as he got to his knees infront of me.
I smiled up at him, realizing how lucky I was to have someone who cared for me regardless as to who I was in my past. He did care about my past, but at the same time it didn't change how we felt about eachother.
"Thanks, I'm so lucky to have you. Thank you for going through all this with me, I don't know how I would do it alone." I said as I got to my knees and wrapped my arms around his back. I kissed him with all the love I had, we sat there embrassing eachother. I knew that everyone else had left, and that we should be going...but right now I needed Jasper, the animals and journal could wait.
"Oh Alice, I'm sorry that was all there is. The end just stopped, the page is smudged and there isn't anymore written." Edward said as he gently placed the book back into my lap.
