Alice M pov
I woke up sitting on Cody's lap on a little mat in the corner of the waiting room. I blinked once, twice, where was I? flashback; the hospital.. I sighed as Cody stroked my hair over and over, obviously he didn't know I was awake. I sat up and the guys and Kenshin had formed a little circle around me and Cody, I felt special. Kenshin's eyes were wandering idly around the room not too interested on what people were thinking, then she winced. I wonder what she heard, I wonder how much of this had gotten back home. I wonder were Jasper was. There wasn't time for worrying about him though, he'd just get me into more trouble with Kenshin. The boys were dozing on and off and some had they're psps' out or ds' or some had their i-pods and were nodding their heads with the tune. Cody looked at me with his worried eyes and hugged me, "I love you" he said.

Kenshin POV

"You Should feel special"... me and alice let out a little laugh

Alice M pov
Dude I totally forgot she could read my mind. Then I remembered why I was here and Kenshin butted in before I could get words' out of my mouth.
"we haven't heard anything since you've been out" she said. I sighed, got up and walked to the receptionist desk. "My dad is," was all I got out of my mouth before she looked at me and said that visiting hours were 9 A.M.- 9 P.M. It was one o' clock in the morning. I looked at this lady wearily. "I need to see my dad" I said sleepily but persistent. She refused and told me to come back in the morning. I walked over to my little huddle and told them it was time to pack it up, I needed a shower anyways...

Nate pov

We sat on the couch, Kenshin's head rested on my lap..

Alice M Pov
All of us decided to go to sleep when we got home. Actually we kind of crashed as soon as we got in the door. The extra guys stayed with us too just so they could take me back to the hospital in the morning. I really hated that red-headed receptionist, what if my dad woke up and i wasn't there? I know I'd be finding out where she lived in a heart beat, Kenshin let out a giggle at that thought, "right on man" she whispered as she lay her head in Nate's lap. I groaned as i clomped up the steps of the stairs. Letting out a sigh as i walked into my room, just as i left it, i collasped on my bed with another dreamless night of sleep.
**The Next Morning**
"BREAKFAST IS READY BOYS" I hollered, waking up the guys. Of course I didn't know if Kenshin was going to eat regular food or go out hunting with me when I slipped out while the boys were eating. I had made a huge breakfast because I know how werewolves eat, and I know how boys eat. The boys walked zombie-like into the kitchen, rubbing the sleep from their eyes, plopping themselves down at the kitchen table. I looked at Kenshin who was already wide awake from taking a shower after I had gotten out this morning.
"You going with me or you staying with them?" I asked her.
"where are you going?" taylor and kris asked.
"Out" I replied.

Kenshin Pov

I let a a little smile... my sexy smile i give to nate before s go hunting... he nodded his head and alice smiled at cody...
"there's time to be jelous later boys" cody and nate said
*****
me and alice started out the door

"do you hear that.."
"Hear what" alice asked confused...
"oh come on listen"
alice closed her eyes... she smiled
"I'll race you" I said and we were off...

((( Sorry I'm not going to type much here I'm kind of in a sad mood and don't know what to type. Next time I get on I'll be ready to type away!!! )))

Cody pov
Alice and Kenshin went out the door laughing and soon I heard them racing off to the mountains. I snickered to myself, the other boys couldn't hear it well accept Nate who was also laughing under his breath.

Alice pov
Kenshin and I were racing up Pike's Peak when we smelled something, something delicious. My fangs slid out from my gums and Kenshin morphed into her werewolf/vampire form.

((( what ever that looks like))

we RAced up the peak they were a elk heard, we got the buck down and started to feast.. there was a smell in the air, my wolf/vamp head purked up.. someone was watching us

Alice M Pov

I felt the tension in the air, Kenshin was tensing at my side...
"Do you feel that?" She asked... "yeah" I replied
I looked up and saw a little boy hiding behind a tree watching us feed. He started to run when he saw us looking back at him.
"what do you think your doing?" I asked taking the boys wrist in my hand and squeezing, but not hard enough to actually hurt him.
"uh,,, uhhh" he stuutered trying to recover from the shock that I was right beside him because just a second ago I was a good ten feet from him... Kenshin appeared at his other side and snarled. She wasn't too happy, neither was I but I was trying not to scared the crap out of the little kid trying to see what acutally he was here for.

Cody pov
I as still sitting in the kitchen when I felt tense... I usually felt this way when something was wrong with Alice or something close by was going very wrong. I loooked over at Nate and he was tensed like I was. I nodded and we rushed out of the house. When we hit the woods we transformed into our real forms.

((time to bring all these people back into the story. -grins-))

Queen of Angst wrote: Alice's POV I sat nervously on a deck chair, looking out into the forest. My family was well and truly splintered now. Edward was off with Gabby in her magical kingdom, Emmett and Rosalie were away on holiday, Carlisle and Esme were enjoying some much needed alone time, and Jasper... I didn't know about Jasper, and I didn't want to. He could do whatever he wanted, and I wouldn't care. I was well and truly over him. Except that I wasn't. Only I would ever know that, I hoped, but it was still true. I'd been with Jasper for as long as I could remember. His face had been the first thing I'd seen upon waking up as a vampire, and all of my vampire life had been dedicated to staying with him and keeping him with me. So now that it was over, what was left? I turned my head as footsteps sounded on my right. A tall blond man was coming towards me, his face guarded. For one wild moment, I was convinced that it was Jasper, coming back for me. Then, a moment later, I realized that it wasn't possible. This man wasn't Jasper. He was someone I didn't know, a stranger. So why did he look so familiar? Alice C's POV He took a few steps towards me, frowning slightly as if he were trying to place me. I didn't move, watching him. "You're Alice, right?" I nodded, wondering how he knew me. I suppose I don't keep particularly low profile here, but even so! Strange and random men don't often know my name. "I'm Draco." Draco. Nope, never heard of him. I nodded again, trying to get him to tell me more. A slightly mocking smile made its way onto his lips. "You have no idea who I am, do you?" I shrugged, slightly uncomfortable. "You could say that," I agreed. "I'm Gabby's half brother. Does that help?" It did. I suddenly realized why I'd halfway recognized him: he looked a lot like Gabby. He'd introduced himself as her half brother, but clearly it was the dominant half. "Oh. Right. I knew that." She knew right away what a stupid thing to say that had been. He eyed her disbelievingly for a moment, the bust out laughing. "You don't like being caught blindside like that, do you?" "Actually, no," she snapped. He was starting to get on her nerves. "Would you mind telling me what you're doing here?" He laughed again, and she scowled. "Without making fun of me, please." "I wasn't making fun of you," he objected, still smiling. "Oh? Then what were you laughing at?" "You sound like someone I used to know." For a moment, his face softened slightly as he remembered, then he came back to himself and fixed his gray stare on me once again. I was studying him in some frustration, wondering why I'd never seen him in my visions. "You still haven't told me why you're here." Did Edward feel this way around Bella, back when they were together? I suddenly didn't blame him for being frustrated. "I came to find you." I blinked. "What? Why?" "Because I was curious. I've grown up around people with... special abilities, but none quite like yours." He snorted a little. "Do you realize how rare reliable second sight is?" I nodded. Why else would Aro want me in the Volturi so much? "If you're interested, I think we might have a teaching position available. We could use a decent Divinations teacher, for once." I scowled. "I don't know how I do it! I just do!" He sighed. "Shame. If you ever figure out how it works, let me know." I grimaced. I was starting to realize that I didn't really like this man. His arrogance was really bugging me. "Is that all?" He shrugged. "Are you telling me to leave?" "I kind of was, yes." He shrugged again. "Far be it from me to stay where I am not wanted." He started to turn away, then stopped. "I thought you might want to know: I'm not the only one who wants to talk to you. I thought you might want to know." He was gone before I could ask him what that was supposed to mean. I looked around slowly, then gasped. Standing a little ways to the right, eying me with that expression of calm amusement I knew so well, was Jasper. ((Sorry that this doesn't include alice and jasper's conversation. i'll write it asap. for now, is this enough, bella?))

I took a couple steps towards him, trying to decide whether or not to glare. In the end, natural curiosity won out, and I satisfied myself with crossing my arms over my chest. "what exactly did you want?" i asked.
he sighed. "you're not even going to greet me?"
"after everything that's happened, you don't deserve one," i snapped. "state your business, then go back to romancing innocent and naive vampire maidens."
he sighed again. "alice," he began, but i shook my head.
"don't even go there. why did you come?"
"i came to tell you that the denali have declared war on the pack, and they expect all vampires to pick a side."
"and you're on the denali side, i assume?"
he frowned. "why would you assume that?" he demanded. "after the way they treated me, do you think i would side with them?"
"so you side with the wolves instead? i thought you hated them."
he shrugged. "not as much as i hate tanya and her lackeys."
i scowled at him. "they're not lackeys!" i hissed. "they were there when i needed them, which is more than i can say for you."
he simply looked at me, seemingly unperturbed. "which side will you choose, alice? carlisls and esme would like to know."
"oh, so you're still on speaking terms with them, are you?"
"they are on speaking terms with me, actually. the difference, though slight, is important to note."
i ignored this. "and which side are they on?"
"they asked me not to tell you. you are free to make your own decision. both say to tell you that they will not hold your choice against you."
i snorted. that sounded very much like the foster parents i knew. i closed my eyes, trying to imagine where everyone would end up. jasper had already said he was on the pack's side. bella, i assumed, would side with tanya and her crew. if i knew carlisle and esme -- which i fancied i did -- they too would be with the wolves. emmett would do whatever rose did, though i wasn't certain what she would. i half suspected she would join tanya's side, just to spite the wolves. they never had gotten on. as for edward and gabby and them, well, i doubted they would even be taking part in this. they had too many of their own concerns to deal with. so that left me. and i still did not know what to do.
"have you quite finished?" jasper asked.
"if i had finished, i would have informed you of my decision so that you would leave," i spat, snapped back to the present. "and i don't know yet. tell carlisle and esme that i'll let them know when i decide."
he nodded, but did not move. i glared at him. "that was your cue to leave," i informed him.
he shrugged, then, with what looked almost like a resigned sigh, turned and sped off. behind me, draco laughed.
i whirled to face him. "would you care to share the joke?" i demanded coldly.
he shook his head. "you... remind me of someone i once knew," he said. i remembered his having said the same thing earlier, and my frown deepened. before i could ask him what exactly he meant by that, he bowed slightly. "if you will excuse me." then he too turned, leaving me alone with my thoughts.
