As soon as Alan's figure disappeared inside of the front doors of the highschool, the soft almost gentle expression on Alice's face disappeared as if it hadn't even been there in the first place, her body turning towards the rest of her family as she started walking quickly towards them.
Arriving before them in seconds, she stopped right infront of the two cars, the silver volvo and the red jeep.
Emmet Cullen and Rosalie Hale were standing together as they usually did, backs to the Jeep doors whilst Jasper Hale was standing a few feet away by himself, a small book in his hand that he seemed to be reading, it looked like something that had been written a long time ago, simply by the fact that the leather on the book itself looked extremely dated.
Edward Cullen meanwhile was by his silver volvo, his gaze seemed absent as if he was still deeply inside his own thoughts, or maybe he was trying to simply try and ignore the thoughts of the hundreds of students that were buzzing around in the parking lot.
Alice made a soft coughing noise, and instantly the attention of all of them focused on her, Edward getting out of his daze and turning to gaze at her questioningly for a moment before his eyes narrowed and his expression turned almost sour. Meanwhile Jasper had already lowered his book, having sensed her tumultuous emotions already before she had even coughed. Emmet and Rosalie were the only ones that didn't sense the aggression in Alice for a moment however they realised almost just as quickly with one simple look into her eyes that had become the colour of dark obsidian.
"What is it?" Rosalie asked, her voice both curious and yet guarded, she didn't see Alice this affected often, but it seemed to happen more and more since she had started talking with this Alan, and she already had an inclination to believe that it was somehow related to him.
"Alan's… being watched by some of the Quileute… I think they're pushing a bit too far with this aren't they?" Alice said softly, slowly, her voice didn't carry any aggression, it was casual, as if she was talking about the weather today and yet that very tone which would have been normal on any other person, was completely abnormal on the usual giddy and excited and warm Alice Cullen.
"The dogs… they don't know about your relationship with him or what he is to you, they just see you getting close to a human and that he might be something, All of us already suspect something about him, his changes are too drastic, not to mention the fact that the friends he made just last week are now gone, as if they have vanished into thin air. This could just be them controlling to check if anything… suspicious is going on." Edward replied as he walked to stand closer to her, the rest of the Cullens following through as they made an almost semicircle around eachother.
"That could be the case, but I don't particularly care Edward. I don't want them anywhere near him." Alice replied, her tone soft and casual as she shook her head.
"They're likely to disappear and leave him alone if they find nothing." Edward answered back, trying to get her to calm down slightly, unlike from before, this could become a major incident really quickly, and it would more than likely end up in bloodshed if it did and in a treaty that had lasted centuries being broken.
"But they can find something Edward, that's what your not understanding. He isn't normal. He clearly isn't. And they could find something and if they do, those mutts will attack, because they for some reason think that only they are safe and any other supernatural creature or thing besides them is an enemy to be killed. Those damned dogs. I don't care Edward, I want him safe, and I want him mine and I do not want anyone to even touch him." Alice replied, her voice soft as she slowly and carefully pronounced each and every word as she looked him directly into the eyes.
"That… are you saying that you don't care even if he is the reason that those kids disappeared?" Jasper asked slowly as he looked at Alice, his ability was already working on overdrive to calm the tsunami of emotions that were happening inside of the small body of Alice Cullen.
Alice slowly turned her head as she gazed at Jasper Hale, before her lips slowly lifted up into a smile that each and every other cullen would remember for days to pass. It was beautiful, undeniably a beautiful smile, every vampire was extremely charismatic afterall, however it wasn't just beautiful, it was similarly harrowing in an uncanny way that only they who knew the secret behind their existence and what they were could truly comprehend.
"I am. I am saying exactly that Jasper. When I was first turned, I didn't know what I was doing, I didn't care about human life, I was a mindless beast before Carlisle found me. And I do believe in the new ways that Carlisle taught me, I truly do. But there are certain lines that should not be crossed with me Jasper. And the biggest red… fucking line Jasper. Is touching my mate. Is snooping around list a fucking dog where you should not be. And as for Alan… even if he is the cause of that disappearance... He is ultimately mine. If anyone were to punish him, it would be me. I am the only one who gets to decide and the only one who gets to punish him in any way or regard." Alice replied, her voice almost carefree, almost giddy, the tone only adding to the overall weirdness… and horror of the conversation that was happening, it wasn't the words themselves that represented horror, it was the implication of what she was saying that was horrific.
