Baseball; Jasper, Bella, Edward.

[Alice Cullen]

Location: The Cullen House

Alice sat on the edge of the window sill, watching the clouds overhead. She smiled to herself, and turned her head back toward the entry way.

"There's going to be a thunder storm! I saw it." She exclaimed in the loudest voice she could manage, waiting for the cheerful vampires to realize what that had meant. Her gaze went back towards the grey, swirling, clouds that seemed to inch closer every second.

"Which means," she continued, loudly. "We can play a game of ball." She giggled after saying it, and placed her feet on the floor as the sound of thumps from the stairs indicated the rest of the family had heard what she had said. "Maybe, this time, Bella can play too."

The first to arrive was Jasper. She smiled at him, thoughtfully, and stepped to his side, waiting for the others to arrive.

"Ready for a game, love?" She asked, sweetly.

[jasper]

Jasper had been possibly the second to hear Alice's news on the weather--second being that Edward probably heard her through thoughts already. Instantaneously, like a newly developed habit, he'd come down from his room to her as she stood next to him.

Jasper looked at her with tender love in his butterscotch eyes as he swiftly laced his fingers with hers, smiling, "Ready when you are." he replied.

[Alice Cullen]

Alice looked into his eyes, and smiled. Any human would have melted under his gaze, just as Bella had with Edward. She sighed, thinking of the joy it would be to be human again.

"I'm always ready for a game." Alice managed to reply, letting her mind skip around her thoughts. "Now, only if Edward and Bella are ready. Rose and Emmett should be home soon. They'll be disappointed to know that they missed another game, hm?"

She let her hands slip away from Jasper's tight grip as another figure rounded the corner, and stood beside them.

[OoC: Hoping that 'figure' could be Bella or Edward, whoever replied first. Whichever is fine. ^^]

[Bella Swan]

OOC: Quick reminder to all: Bella is a vampire; she has been turned by Edward. Not saying that any of you guys said she wasn't, I'm just reminding.

Bella slowed her gait to a run when she closed in on the baseball game. She hadn't seen Edward in a bit, but she hoped he would turn up soon. Her husband was always running rampant, and Bella had trouble not worrying about him. Just because he was immortal....

She saw Alice and Jasper, and gave a quick wave as she moved in to stand next to them. "Hey, are Rose and Emmett coming to join us?" Bella had grown slightly closer to Rosalie since her changing, but there was still a bit of awkwardness between the two vampires. "Edward should be coming soon." she said, fingering a bit of her hair nervously. Even after being together so long, it hurt when he wasn't with her.

[Alice Cullen]

Alice greeted Bella with a smile and small peck of a kiss on her cheek.

"Rose and Emmett are away again, I believe." She replied in a low tone, almost as if she were whispering. The tone seemed normal for Alice, though. Everyone was pretty much used to it by now. "Ah, they love going on honeymoons, don't they?" She sighed and looked back at Jasper.

"So will it be the three of us, or is Edward on his way?" She asked, probably knowing the answer already, due to her 'special talent'. Alice gracefully began walking to the door, looking over her shoulder as an indication for Bella to follow along, as she gently grabbed a hold of Jasper's hand, again.

[jasper]

At the tug of his hand, very quickly did he follow after her, "I believe the answer is a yes." Jasper gently replied as he followed by her side. A smile appeared across his face as he wondered how the game was going to turn out, seeing as how it would already play in Alice's mind.

For players going against Alice, it was bad to try to overthrow her with her vision unless one was able to keep changing their mind constantly before picking a play. Even that might have faulty errors, for the fact that Alice was good, real good in baseball. Even if she had no psychic abilities to help. Of course, that did not mean that the rest were weak. Jasper had always looked forward to a stormy day, because that would incline to a game day.

[Carole Greene]

Carole's search had started years ago, when they took all that she had from her, as well as giving her a curse. She would have rather died along with her parents and siblings when everything came crashing down.

A hundred years later still she had no answers or even a trace of who pulled this; until now. Even though she didn't know their name for a long time, she could still feel the presence of the one that had made her what she was and who killed her family. They seemed to be running from her when they sensed that she was in the area.

The name Carlisle rang repeatedly in her brain like the tell tale heart. She knew that she had to do something about this. Carole had traveled too long seeking revenge and her century long journey was beginning to take a toll on her psyche.

In her silver Mercedes Benz, she sped like lightening through the rain. She knew that she was getting close; she just hoped that this time there wouldn't be any more running, or continuation of "cat and mouse." As she continued on, she sped past a sign that said "Welcome to Forks." The rain continued to come down hard and the thunder and lightening began to crash in the sky.

[Alice Cullen]

Alice's golden eyes flickered to Jasper, as she released his hand and backed away from the door. Her eyes traced the outline of the door and doorknob before she swirled around towards Bella and Jasper.

"Someone's coming." She breathed. Her complexion was now paler than before, not that her skin tone could achieve any lighter of a color. "I don't think...they're very happy, either." She said quickly before pulling out a silver cell phone, the same one she had used before, when Jasper, Bella, and herself were stuck in a apartment within Phoenix, one summer ago.

"Carlisle." She managed to say after a few moments of holding the silver phone to her ear. "I think someone's coming...For you, perhaps for us." She continued to hold the phone in it's spot for a few more moments before taking it from the side of her face and pressing a little red button labeled as 'end'.

[OoC: bloodyvalentine87, you know you can change your display name to Carole, if you'd like to? Just go to 'profile', and then to 'modify profile'.]

[jasper]

Jasper perked up at Alice's words, automatically his face lacked emotions as his mind registered what was going on. "Now...? This is ironic." he mumbled as he looked out the door warily. This was not the first time that their baseball game was interrupted, how disappointing to have to miss out again. However family protection was more important than baseball, much more important.

[Alice Cullen]

Alice looked at Jasper with a smirk.

"I'm actually not sure how much time we have." She then, turned toward Bella with a comforting smile. "It's a shame our game is going to be interrupted, yet again. At least, your a vampire this time...We won't have to worry about anyone being thirsty."

Her eyes locked back with the door frame, as her feet shifted back slightly. Instinctively, Alice stepped behind Jasper.

[Carole Greene]

After driving for a few miles, Carole found herself parked in front of a huge house. The person that she was looking for, or at least she thought was in there. She opened the door to her silver car and get out and shut it. She leaned against the side of the car, taking her black sunglasses off and putting one of the ends in her mouth, her other arm crossed across her chest. She then moved in a steady gait toward the front entrance to the house. She knocked on the door using the silver door knocker and waited patiently for an answer.

[~Jane&Alec~]

Edward's fingers danced across the piano, spiders flitting from shining silver stand to strand, following the music of the struggling prey of art. A tune so complex that Kira*'s tapestries would be put to shame spun through the note-saturated air. A peal of thunder pierced the rich harmonies suddenly, and the quick vampire swept to his feet and out the door, turning his mind to his families thoughts. Almost instantly he was next to Bella, sodium-feldspar granite hand seeking her alabaster one. He quickly briefed himself on the situation courtesy of Alice's thoughts.

Becoming aware of the other vampire at the door, Edward automatically reached for her mind, and his eyes widened in shock. "She's here for Carlisle," he began, speaking so quickly that humans wouldn't have been able to keep up, "and she's angry. Apparently she thinks he killed her family and made her a vampire." Deftly, he scanned the reactions of his sister and brother with his mind while looking at Bella with concern and, as always, admiration of her sublime beauty.

((*Gathering Blue, The Messenger))

[Alice Cullen]

Alice blinked a few times, trying to get Edward's words through her head.

"But, Carlisle..." She began, hesitating slightly as she arranged her thoughts in the proper order. "He would never turn a being into a vampire, unless there was no other choice." Her words became softer as she finished the sentence. Sighing, she stepped forward and opened the door.

Her nose twitched slightly as the air from the other side of the door pushed past her. This was definitely not the same smell she was used to...Obviously a different type of vampire, one of another clan.

"Hello." She greeted the stranger with a light smile, and waited for the same in return. Her butterscotch eyes traced the outline of the figure, and followed each and every movement she would make.

[jasper]

Jasper's eyes followed Alice to the door, and once the solid wood revealed the other vampire, he blinked once with definite curiosity. It was obvious that he could sense the rage held in for years, the determination leaking out uncontrollably as said vengeful one finally found her one clue to revenge. Slowly walking over with unconscious grace, Jasper stood next to Alice yet again. Glancing at her only briefly, finally his eyes met with the seeker's--her emotions lulling out even stronger as their distance was less lengthy.

Normally--had this been a normal visitor--Jasper would have stayed behind, especially if the visitor were human as he still has yet to keep perfect control over his thirst. However, due to quick instinct, he preferred to stay near Alice in case she was anywhere close to danger--even if he trusted that she would not get hurt in any way possible.

[Carole Greene]

Carole stood there and gave a sly smile and purred, "Hello there. I'm looking for the one named Carlisle. Is he in?" She stood there and stared Alice straight in the eyes, her green eyes glowing with determination and need. "I have a score to settle with him. I mean no one else any harm." She peered behind the door, "May I come in?"
