"Alice calm down, your visions are just possibilities-"
"Your one to talk Edward, can't you drive faster than this?"
For the first time I despised Edward's mind reading ability, "you can see Bella, Alice she's perfectly fine and Peter is right there with her. Just because you can't see a hint of him anymore doesn't mean something terrible happened-"
"Terrible Edward!? There is not even a single instance were I can see our hands together. You don't understand Edward if I lose him-"
"Shh I can read his thoughts now, do you want to hear them?"
I analyzed his face, relieved at the fact he was confident about Peter's safety and yet he weared a smirk comparable to Emmett's.
"Out with it then."
"He's talking about his future wedding with Bella, it could be the reason while there isn't a trace of him in your predictions."
"What-how?"
"Well our brave bachelor has cold feet, Alice."
I turned to mock his effort at teasing me, "nothing I can't fix Edward, you might want to fix your attitude if you plan on receiving an invitation to our wedding. And I expect an apology if you want my assistance designing your's."
He cringed at that remark, it's been weeks that I've drilled into his stubborn heart Bella and him were meant to be together. I pushed the argument he always had of us being monsters who should stay away from them if we truly loved them to the gutter. How could I stay far from Peter? Not once have I felt love for someone else as a partner but the fear of hurting him drives a stake in my heart. What drives me crazy is seeing that woman sit next to him, Jessica the 'sweet angel'. If I ever see her in white next to-
"Get a hold of yourself Alice we're here."
*honk*
"I'll be taking a ride with Peter. Try not to screw up your future while I'm gone."
I heard the creak of the Swans front door opening. Without much effort I dashed through it and hurled myself into Peter's arms.
"Ouch, you nearly took the air out of me Alice."
A little irritation filled me from his lack of joy from reuniting us after he gave me a scare. By force I grabbed the collar of his sweater and made him look at my eyes, "I need to put a pretty little collar around your neck rabbit. Something that screams Cullen's interest or asset. It needs to be clear and secure what's mine, I can't be-"
The kiss he placed on my forehead paused my train of thought. He giggled which further annoyed me, "your crazy pixie but I love it."
I rolled my eyes, "men, give me the keys I'm driving."
"Pardon? This is the one time I can drive my girlfriend somewhere. Sorry but you'll have to play passenger princess this time."
"At your speed we'll never make it in time."
"If I let you drive, you'll kill the engine for good when you decide to go past 40."
A shocked expression formed across my face, "40? Peter you could be pulled over for being that slow."
"Shh pixie, I won't let another soul disrespect the old timer."
"Well that truck won't break down even if it gets hit. Good morning Alice."
"Bella!" I pulled her into a hug, "could you tell your little brother over here that he's better off walking to school. Afterall, those pancakes I smell are making a number on you Peter."
"Indeed, I doubt you could fit in the suit Alice made anymore. What do you think Alice?"
"Glad you asked Bella, since I asked a similar question to my dear brother Emmentt who believe it or not has experince in this area."
"Wait what did you two plan?"
"shh rabbit, I'm talking to Bella. Well then Bella, Emment came up with this wonderful workout plan, one where my dear Peter could get to know my family more. And guess what? Jasper decided to join too how lovely. If only someone could convince that brooding brother of mine."
"I'll try my best Alice, no promies you know how he can be at times."
"Hold on for miniute I haven't agreed to anything."
"Well you can tell Emment to his face how you take his efforts for granted. But if your fine with growing out of your usual body weight I'm more then happy to keep a chubby rabbit around. Afterall their easier to guard from others, thinking it over now perhaps that could be the best route to go with this."
Within a milsecond I searched for possiblities where this approach could work, frustration dawned over me when it failed. I kept my search for any trace of Peter's prescene in my future, their must of have been a sense of worry around me when Bella touched my elbow.
"Everything alright Alice?"
My attention turned immediately to Peter's puzzled face and I wondered how he still hasn't guess or suspected what I am. I know I asked Bella not to leave hints for him to follow for fear of losing him but I still feel guilty leading him on this far. It irks me to think about a roundabout method to use in the present for a future I can't see. Displeasure filled me when staring at the man I love for making live in the now and touch earth for what felt like a first.
Instinctivly by custom now I pinched both of his warm cheeks. Without listening to his groans of minor pain I spoke out what I felt, "your driving me insane Peter I swear one of these days I'll make you as crazy as I am for you."
*honk*
"Come on Bella you'll be late for school, me and Peter here will be late with that tank he loves to drive."
Bella smiled as she left me with my own devices, Peter however tried to remove my hands. Once the door was closed behind her I was about to vent when Peter took my face in his hands and kissed me passionately. The built up of emotions I had neared the limit and I dropped my hands to explore under his shirt. His warm skin seeped into my mine and I traced my fingers down his chest to further feel what was mine. I pushed him to the wall and gripped his waist while trying to remove his sweatpants when he dangled his keys in front of my eyes sporadically. I stopped my movements raising a eyebrow with a bewildered expression.
"We need to go pixie." The fool said as he controlled his breathing.
I took a step back annoyed by being denied the pleasure, "You can't be serious, you have to be the weirdest guy I've know. School can wait-"
He placed a thumb over my lips while caressing my cheek, "My dad will worry if I'm not there plus he'll think less of my lack of responsibilty."
"But-"
"Alice love, I think its best we plan ahead for this special occasion. Knowing your sex drive now I got a feeling we'd need an entire half of the day for it."
"Bullshit," I blurted out as I reached for his neck to pull him in for more until he lifted his shirt.
A trail made from my nails traced down his body in a warm red, it woke me from my hunger. Deep down a part of me filled with enjoyment as if I layed my claim on him but quickly guilt took over and I embraced Peter in a hug.
"Forgive me, after yesterday, I should have asked, I-"
"It's fine Alice, I told you not to treat my like a broken toy anyway. And remember it was me who initated it. Plus-" he rasied my chin to look me in the eye, "I didn't mind it being a little rough."
I smiled, I know it was mischievous and with a hint of sinster thoughts, "so your ready to pop my cherry then?"
He rolled his eyes at my remark, "your quick to move past things."
"It won't be quick thats a promise."
"Just get in the truck Alice."
I grinned and nodded obediently when I saw him blush at last. He guided me and opened the door to the truck like a gentlemen. The engine roared to life which reminded me about the boring ride I was getting on. As Peter drove I placed my hand over his as he held it on the gearshift.
"How are you still so cold after that? Want my sweater?"
"No, thats just a family trait rabbit. Could you make the same promise as before? The one about not separating our hands."
He gave me a side-eye with a curious gaze as to what I could be up to, "can you tell me why at least?"
"Just take it as the whims of your beloved girlfriend rabbit, so is that a yes?"
"I could never say no to you."
"Really, where was that energy back there when I needed you most?"
He huffed while grinning, "well Alice you didn't ask back then so I guess you missed your chance."
"And if I asked now?"
"Do you want the promise or for me to get in a acceident if you continue?"
"Annoying little sh-"
He laughed before I could finish, my earlier irritation dissipating as I listened to his voice. I leaned on him while I rubbed my thumb on his hand, "I'll take the promise you cheap bastard." I said in a gentle tone.
The drive was slow, I enjoyed taking in his scent and warmth as we sat in the vehicle. I stared into the distant road and drifted off into the endless routes I foresaw. Bella and Edward came to mind as they normally did as of late, both the bright paths they could take and the spirals of madness that it could lead them down. All of my family's future came in sight but Peter was no where among them, anxiety slowly crept on me. Finally I searched my own future apart from the rest as I scoured restlessly for a glimpse of Peter. Why aren't you there at my side as you are now my beloved? Before on the bench I managed to out smart the fates and in my visions your invisible hand was always entangled with mine. Now its all so empty, is this my fault? Did my act of cowardice and fear yesterday affect this outcome. Suddenly my fake breathing and dead heart stopped any sign of life they could still give, my chest layed still from the realization. Does my existence, my being as a creature of the night the same as the monsters that plague Peter's soul? Like an answer from fate and destiny a vision appeared in the dark, my own form of torture.
There I was in the vision in Peter's room curled up in ball as I strangled his pillow to my chest. I knew what had happened in it, he was gone and I was alone in hell. For the first time since I could remember I felt cold and the goosebumps go down my neck. I lost him, Peter of all things. How, why had he left me? The vision grew purer and gleamed with realism that a silent sorrow took root in me. Now in this horrifying reality I let myself drown in doubt. I'm not meant to be with him am I?
The truck stopped as Peter parked, "see you at class then?"
I looked at him analyzing his pale face, his eyes were hazel and in my mind I can see him with his own eyes turning golden if I choose. His rose tinted lips I explored were divine and more pleasurable than any blood that existed. A fury took root in me, no one can take him from me. Fate can have another plan in store for him but the future is mine to carve out. There won't be a soul on earth that will rip Peter from my grasp. Plans began to run through my head and I processed how to conquer my rabbit's heart.
I let out a breath of fresh air after my decision and began to gain information on how to one day have Peter desire me as I do him, "no meet me at lunch outside the cafeteria. Your eating with me today."
"With the Cullens?"
"Why is there a problem?"
"Well let's just say I know when someone disapproves of me. In this case there is a couple of women I'd hate to bother."
"Rosalie and Edythe? Their harmless and they either get accustomed to you or not. All you should care about is making me happy after I got ready for you so early in the morning."
A bothersome look took over Peter as he got out the truck to open my door. I smiled seeing how he listened to my request and gave him a quick peck to lift his spirit as I sensed Emmentt walk towards us.
"About time you arrived, this has to be a new late record for the red devil of yours Peter."
"Emmett, big brother and all that comes with that, I have a itsy-bitsy favor to ask you."
He gave me a puzzled look that quickly was replaced by an amused one, "anything for mom's favorite."
I squinted my eyes towards him, "oh please your the only one she allows to use every property under our name without questioning your hidden intentions."
He let out a loud chuckle, "everyone knows what I'm up to on my weekend getaways unlike your intentions with Peter here."
My demeanor turned sour and my gaze became scornful, "Peter baby go to class if I recall it's on the other side of the school. I'd hate for you to miss class entirely."
When I turned to say my goodbyes as he gave me a sheepish smile as confusion settled in about the conversation, my gaze focused on the figure inside the entrance of the school. I nearly reached out for Peter with force when Jessica Stanley alongside her cunning smile waited to greet him. Anger coursed down my dry veins as the harlot touched what isn't hers to hold. Only a couple months ago did I see her all over Mike and now she wanted to dig her nails into my Peter. Afterall he had gone through I will not let some common wench be his end goal.
I twisted my body in the other direction and took Emmentt's arm yanking him away, "listen well, your going to do exactly what I say no buts nor how, just make it happen."
Thankfully Emmett played along as I set my net around Peter. For now I'll let him roam free with the fates but sooner or later I'll have him. I will outplayed whatever master weaver is setting his course in motion and call it a women's instinct but I summerise I'll need a ring around my finger to sweeten the deal.
