Chapter 32: Chapter 32
Heading inside the Cullen Mansion, Arthur was met with the sight of the entire Cullen Coven sitting around the living room sofa.
Edward was sitting at the far end of the right couch, looking more depressed than usual.
Jasper was sitting next to him.
'Likely calming him down.' Arthur thought to himself as he turned to the rest of the Cullen who were spread around on the two other couches.
"Quite the depressing mood." Arthur blurted out as usual with no filter at all to his speech.
"Blunt as usual," Emmet said with a laugh.
"Well, what happened? Did Bella Swan ask about how a certain someone ran at supernatural speeds and then proceeded to stop a moving van with one hand?" Arthur asked as he walked and sat down on the couch opposite Edward and Jasper. Next to Emmet and Rosalie.
Alice quickly followed him and sat right next to him, practically glued to his side.
"She did. I say we kill her however someone clearly isn't fond of the idea." Rosalie replied coldly.
"Isn't that going a bit too far?" Arthur asked as he turned to look at the blonde vampire.
"She could say something. That would put all of us in danger, you included Arthur."
"I frankly don't think so, if this was the 1600's then maybe since people used to believe in the supernatural, with all the witch hunts and all that. But nowadays? At most what she could achieve would be getting people to think she's batshit insane." Arthur replied with a bald tone, shrugging his shoulders.
"That certainly is a big possibility, however, the problem isn't the humans knowing that she knows, it's the fact that a vampire could hear her, at that point. We'd all be in danger because of her." Carlisle replied in that usual soft voice of his yet this time it was actually more serious than Arthur had ever heard him be until now.
"I see, I guess I only thought of it from the human side. So then, what are you planning on doing? Edward clearly doesn't want her dead, she's his soul mate or whatever. So either turn her or move away or somehow find a way to get her to keep her mouth shut, this last option could include silencing her forever." Arthur said calmly, his voice not wavering at all even as he spoke about killing Bella. It was like he was simply remarking about the weather.
"Do you not feel anything at all? How can you just talk about killing a human so easily? You're a human yourself, Arthur." Edward interjected as he shot a scathing glare at Arthur.
"I'm simply analyzing the situation that you've put us in Edward. Do you have any better ideas?" Arthur questioned as he raised an eyebrow.
"No," Edward replied softly with a sigh.
"Killing her isn't necessary. I'd say we wait for a few weeks, and see how she reacts if she doesn't speak of it. Well, we just act like nothing happened and continue. If she does? We move to Alaska at the Denali for the next few decades." Carlisle announces.
"Sounds like a plan. Either way, Alice and I are going out for the night, do you want us to buy you something?" Arthur replied as he got up, walking towards the staircase.
"I'd appreciate it if you bought me that new release of my cookbook that I usually use," Esme said softly with a gentle smile.
"Alright. Let's go get you changed out of your school clothes first." Alice replied as she quickly got up, a smile on her face as she skipped after Arthur.
"I'll be changing on my own, I don't plan on wasting my next two hours in the closet," Arthur said with a deadpan as he walked up the stairs towards his room.
"Don't you have any sexual libido at all? Imagine it, me with you in the closet together." Alice said with a wink.
"First of all, everyone heard that I'd appreciate you not saying stuff like that with all the vampires around. Second, I don't think I do, I think my body still hasn't completely left survival mode after years of having to ration every drop of food, it isn't really in the mood or situation until now to even think about reproduction capabilities." Arthur replied as he headed inside his room and locked the door.
A groan could be heard from outside as Alice stomped her foot in annoyance, causing the floorboards to crack slightly.
'Scary woman, cracking the damn floor.' Arthur thought to himself.
Around five minutes later, he walked outside, wearing a simple pair of black jeans a black shirt, and a baseball cap, having been too lazy to style his hair.
"The cap because you couldn't be bothered with your hair," Alice said instantly as soon as she saw him, her face holding a deadpan expression.
"Correct" Arthur replied bluntly as he walked downstairs and out of the house towards the garage.
"We're taking the Porsche, Forks doesn't have anything or any good stores, we're going to have to head to Port Angeles," Alice announced as she ran towards the yellow Porsche.
"Great, now she's got more horsepower to squash me and a tree together with," Arthur mumbled as he followed behind her.
Getting inside the car, Arthur instantly buckled himself with the belt before closing the door behind him as Alice giggled at him.
"You're such a coward sometimes, live a little."
"Coward? More like a survivalist."
"Sure, sure, whatever you say." She replies with a laugh before turning the ignition key and reversing out of the mansion garage and onto the driveway before changing gears and slamming the gas pedal, launching the car ahead.
Minutes passed in silence, Arthur wasn't one to make small talk usually and Alice seemed too caught up in her own mind to say anything.
It was at this moment as they were driving through the tree-dense forest road that Alice's head suddenly lolled to the side, her eyes glazed over.
"What the fuck." Arthur blurted instantly as he grabbed the steering wheel and started directing the car.
"Wake the fuck up, wake up." Arthur practically screamed however Alice stayed in the same state.
For twenty seconds, all Arthur could think was that he was fucked, utterly fucked.
'I knew this was going to happen, I should always trust my fucking instincts.' He thought darkly.
It was at this moment that Alice's eyes rolled back down and her body grew rigid, her face looked haunted.
"Fuck, we have to go back, right this second," Alice announced as she slammed the brakes.
"Why? What did you see?"
"Rosalie… She's going to kill Bella."
