I caught her hand, she was going up to Carol, her niece. But I wasn’t going to just sit back. She turned with a questioned look in her face, her delicate features were full of worry. I forced a smile: "thought you’re gonna need me up there".
Her smile came instantly, matching with mine. We went up the stairs, holding hands. I tried to lower the tense and she slowly loosened her grip. She knocked the door heavily enough for Carol to hear. “Alice?” her voice came unsure from behind the door. Alice took a deep unneeded breath, and we got in the room.
Carol smiled shyly eyeing me with curiosity but made no question, I was going to like that girl. Alice introduced me and I avoided tactfully to not shake her hand. She didn't look surprised, Alice had probably avoided contacting that way with he too. They talked for a while, surprisingly she wasn’t scared. Then she told us her side of the story and it didn’t differ a lot from Alice’s. Apparently she was kicked out of her house once her relatives discovered her "curse".She told us a bunch of other stuff Alice probably already knew from reading her past, but she kept nodding politely while Carol talked. Then Alice explained her that she was her niece and that she also has premonitions. She threw me a quick warning look when Carol was to lost in her thoughts to see it. I felt the atmosphere of our talk turn into a casual chat.
Then they talked about turning her into one of us. We received no reaction, she stood there, frozen. Then like we have asked her to go out for a pizza, instead of offering her immortality, she just nodded and smiled faintly. Alice smiled broadly, approvingly. I didn't loose my power, I wondered if her choice was so easy for her as it seemed or if it was a product of my gift.
Then our whole clan was inside the room-except Rose, she was downstairs combing Renesmee’s hair as far as I knew. I wondered if she just wanted to give Alice some time, for her to make sure if Carol really wanted this, I had a feeling that Rose was going to like this girl. I didn’t mention that Carol had no choice from this point, she knew-it was death or immortality now, no going back. Bella flashed a warm smile at Carol and moved next to Edward, she spoke low enough for Carol not to hear but we could hear her.
She wanted to stay here to support Alice and told Edward to take Nessie to Jacob because it wasn’t really safe here. I didn’t get it, Edward would be more useful here, why sending him to wolf land? Edward took off immediately and after we couldn’t here the Volvo’s engine anymore Bella was at Carlisle side suddenly. He leaned to his ear and told him something in a really low voice. Even we couldn’t catch it, all I heard was something about “protecting thoughts” and “morphine“. I glanced over at Alice, I guessed she would see what Bella just told my “father“. Her face was blank and then she made a face but nodded to Bella, carefully avoiding my gaze, I rolled my eyes. Then Rose was in the room too. I guessed she couldn’t hold it any longer. Carlisle threw a quick approving glance at Bella and stepped forward, Alice smiled weakly, uneasily.
“It’s time.”
