Wiping her hands on her jeans, Rosalie Hale slid from under her BMW M3 Convertible and gracefully stood up. She'd finished just in time, because it was starting to drizzle. Out of the corner of her eye she caught her reflection in her car mirror. To her surprise, she looked worn out. Rosalie thought about going back inside the house to change clothes and talk to her family. She was halfway there when she froze in her tracks. She wasn't sure if Edward or Jasper were home yet. If they were then Rosalie knew that now wouldn't be the time to see them. She did feel better since her talk with Esme but there was still a lot on her mind.
Pivoting on her heel Rose took off at a full speed run into the forest. Her feet were hitting the ground so lightly that the mud didn't even have time to splatter behind her. She was going so fast that she wasn't even worried about being seen by a human. Her long blonde hair bounced around wildly as she sped in no particular direction. Closing her eyes lightly she continued to run, using sounds to guide her. Finally she reached her destination.
Rosalie collapsed gracefully onto the grass, thankful that there was no one around. She let her hair fan out all around her as she stared up into the sky. She hadn't ran in awhile, but that didn't mean she was tired. The sky opened up and rain began to pour down. It felt nice on Rosalie's skin. Losing herself in the moment, she held perfectly still and just thought everything through. It was nice to get away and think, especially with everything that'd been going on lately.

A few drops of rain fell onto the bouncy girl's face, as she skipped lightly through the park. To any human, it would look like she was just floating, rather than skipping or even walking. A smile stood it's place on her face as she continued making her way, her eyes went towards the sky, seeing the dark clouds starting to get even darker "A typical day in Forks.." she mumbles a bit to herself, but it never did stop Alice from being bouncy and enjoying the day.
She was thinking of heading back to her porche, which stood out in the parking lot of the park, to head back home to see her lovely Jasper, which she knew would be getting there soon, another person popped into her mind, as she face went blank and her eyes just sort of stared a head. After a moment, a grin spread across her face, as she turns around, looking over towards a grassy area.
A small giggle escaped her lips, as she bounced her way towards the blonde beauty that laid there perfectly still on the ground. To other's, it would seem that the girl was a stone statue, lying there in the park, but in reality--it was just Rosalie, lying there, she seemed to be enjoying the rain falling upon her skin. As Alice reached the girl, she stood over her, bending down a bit, staring down at her face "Well, someone looks like they've been under their BMW." she smirks a bit.

Turning away from the sky slightly, Rosalie rested one side of her face on the ground. She closed her eyes in delight as a particularly thick raindrop rolled down her cheek. Had she been human then she would have been shivering from the cold by now. Most of her icy pale skin was exposed thanks to her black tank top. The cool rain relaxed Rosalie as it rolled down her marble skin.
Rosalie wasn't exactly in a good mood today, but it was better than she'd been feeling in the past few weeks. Coming out to Forks Park had been a good idea. The corners of her mouth twitched upward, almost forming a smile. Rose took an unnecessary deep breath and tuned into the world around her. Even behind her closed eyelids she could picture the rich green that made up the town of Forks. As boring as the place was she had to admit that it was beautiful. It was the complete opposite of Rochester, and that was good for keeping painful memories away. Most of the time.
The sound of familiar footsteps caused a frown to replace the small smile on her lips. Alice. Sure enough, the smallest of the Cullen family was standing over Rosalie in a matter of seconds. Not that she didn't want to see her, but she wasn't in the mood for rattling off about the wedding. Not when she'd came so close to calming down. "Hello Alice" she said softly, keeping her eyes closed. "Yes, I had a few improvements to make." Rosalie rolled over to make room for her sister to sit down. Not that she needed to, they were in a huge field after all. "How have you been?"

Alice swayed a bit from toe to heel for a moment, before she took a seat down on the wet grass next to her sister. A grin spread across her face, of course, she knew of what Rosalie had been doing, it was really hard to keep something from Alice, but she was sure that someone was eventually going to figure it out how to do so, she just hoped it wasn't someone close to her.
"I've been..good." she smiles, as her eyes just stared ahead of her, watching the rain fall down "What about you?" she ask, slight concern within her voice "You have seem to be a little, well, distant.." she finally looks towards her sister, a slight frown on her face "Especially since you did have yourself locked in your bedroom for a while." she nods a bit.
[[xD I read the thread.]]

Rosalie let her eyes lock with Alice's as she smiled at her sister. She was glad that Alice was getting something out of this whole wedding experience, if not a bit jealous. Oh, is it that obvious? Rosalie thought that staying in her room was the best decision because it kept her out of the way. Apparently not though, because Alice wasn't the first one who'd noticed.
"I just needed to think, alone." Rose was surprised at how easy it was to be honest to Alice, especially when she really didn't want to be. "Was it really that apparent though?" She asked softly, thinking out loud. Rose was starting to question herself a lot these days. One of her biggest worries was if it'd been the best decision to tell Bella about her changing. The human girl was obviously not taking Rosalie's advice, because the wedding plans were still going on.

Alice gave a nod, with a slight frown "Rose..you know whatever you or anyone else around does..I am going to know whether it's apparent or not." she grins a bit towards her sister, then let her smile soften a bit, as she places a hand on the girls shoulder "We all know how you are feeling about everything, Rose."
Alice knew from day one when Rosalie met Bella that she wasn't to fond of the human girl, she always thought that Rose would be happy for Edward, or better yet, be happy with him that he's finally found a girl that wants to be with..well, for eternity. But Alice couldn't help but to wonder why Rosalie felt the way she did towards Bella--she was it actually because she was nothing but pure human and no offense to her friend Bella, but she always seemed to have danger following her around. Danger Prone Bella, just the thought caused a small laugh to come from the girls lips.
Alice let out a small sigh, shaking her head, maybe she could get the answer straight out from Rose herself "Rose...Why do you feel the way you do towards Bella?" she ask the girl, as she tilts her head slightly to the side.

"Oh, Alice.." Rosalie couldn't help but to laugh at that. How is it possible that someone so small can be so annoying and cute at the same time? she wondered as she stared up into the cloudy sky. "That's the problem though, isn't it Alice? I don't want my feelings to mess everything up." All signs of lightness had fled her voice, replaced by a cool bitterness. "I'm trying so hard."
That was the thing about being a part of the Cullen 'family' for so long. Everyone knew each other so well. In some cases Rosalie felt like she knew her family members better than herself. That was good in a way, but it made the idea of privacy nothing more than a laughable joke.
Rain fell with a fury, and thunder could be heard in the distance. "Looks like we'll have to play baseball soon," she remarked quietly. Rosalie brushed some of the sticky mud off of her chilled marble skin. A crack of lightening concealed her sigh. The beautiful vampire knew that she came off as hateful to Bella, and she also knew that was a bit of a problem since the human would be joining their family soon. "The simplest way to put it is that I'm jealous of her. And I simply do not understand her." Bella Swan, the unsolvable puzzle. Rosalie groaned, not bothering to hide her annoyance. "Alice, do I really have to talk about it?" She was almost positive the Alice would say yes, but she thought it was worth a shot. Even Vampires can wish, right?

Alice gave the girl a small nod, she knew that she was trying her best to keep her feelings from doing something outragous, but she knew the way Rosalie was feeling about all of it, then again, probably the whole family knew just as well as the next Cullen that lived within the house.
Alice's eyes went away from Rose and towards the sky, a slight grin spread across her face at the thought of a baseball game, maybe them all just getting together and having some fun would calm things down a bit and just let us all get lost within the game. But, as quickly as the thought came, it went away, as her eyes went back towards Rose, she tilted her head a bit towards the blonded haired girl, with a slight confused look, she kind of knew of the reason why the girl would be jealous of her. She knew of what happened to Rosalie before she ever became who she is today. It caused a small sigh to come from the girls pale lips, her eyes looked away from her once more and just kind of stared ahead of her "I think it would be best if you did, Rose." she nods her head a bit.

Narrowing her eyes, Rosalie turned to glare at her sister. She knew there wasn't a way she could wiggle out of this. Not without being unnecessarily mean anyway. It was hard for Rosalie to put her thoughts into words. She never did like admitting that she had flaws.
Still, Rosalie knew her sister was right. "Why do you think I act the way I do, Alice?" she asked softly. Rosalie wanted to know how the petite vampire saw her. She figured that if she could get Alice going that might giver her some time to figure out what to say in the nicest and most direct way possible. There always was a chance that Alice might repeat something that she said to Edward, even if it wasn't intentional. That was the problem with having a mind reader around.

Alice gave a few blinks, thinking her words clear through before she even began to speak them out towards the other next to her "Well, I think that the reason you are towards Bella, is because she is going to get to have a wedding you never got to have." she gave a small shrug "And, of course, there is the fact that she is human."
Alice didn't bother to look towards Rosalie, she knew that the girl had been probably glaring at her or something of that matter. She just kept her eyes straight ahead of her, staring at nothing in particular, though, as heavy as it was raining, it was more-so the rain she was looking at than anything else.

A soft hiss of anger rang out, despite the noise that the storm was making. Rosalie dug her fingers into the muddy ground, desperate to keep her composure. "It's so much more than that, don't you see Alice?" Sighing, Rosalie rolled over so her back faced the sky. This was all too much. Rosalie hated it when she didn't feel like she was in control of her feelings.
Rosalie wondered if Alice would even notice her sudden change in mood. "I envy Bella because she's human, but only a little bit." Sometimes Rosalie felt like everyone stopped looking once they reached her superficial, shallow layer. If only they'd break deeper. They would see that there was so much more to the statuesque vampire than that.
"Honestly? I'm worried about her." Rose buried her face in her elbows, trying to relax. "She's only marrying Edward because she expects to be changed afterwards, right?" Rosalie spoke in an icy tone, each word sharp as a dagger.

Alice just stayed quiet, listening to Rose speak, she did notice the change in her mood, it showed within the girls voice, but Alice ignored it. She gave what her sister said to her some thought, staying there in silence, and it seemed that Rose went silent for a moment as well. Alice had turned back towards the girl, seeing that she was lying on her stomach now, her face burried within her elbows.
A small sigh came from her lips, as she stares down at the girl in front of her, a small nod giving to the other "Well, I suppose you could say that.." her voice was quiet, as those words that Rose said to her went through her mind, she wondered if that was the only reason, but shook her head "But, no matter what, she has to be changed one way or another..or.." her words trailed off, she didn't even want to think about it, about what could possibly happen to Bella if she wasn't to be changed.

"Yes, I know. And that's the saddest part." Rosalie was speaking in a tone that was filled with a mix of emotions. This must be really hard for Edward. She'd seen the change in him since Bella came to Forks. They were a perfect match. Like Jasper and Alice, or Emmett and herself. "Things would have been so much simpler if..."
Appalled, she drew in a deep breath. That was absolutely horrid of me. She wasn't sure if Alice knew how she was going to finish that sentence or not. The only sounds that could be heard for awhile were those of the storm. Rosalie was shocked that she even thought what she did. If Edward hadn't sucked the venom out of that bite then Bella would be one of them now. What hurt Rosalie the most was the knowledge that she could wish something as horrible as that on Bella. No, this way was better. At least she'd have the chance to say goodbye to the human world. At least she'd have some positive memories to hold on to.
"Alice, aren't you at least a little worried about what Bella will be like after she's changed?" Rosalie remembered when Edward left Bella. She still didn't know all the details, but she did hear about how damaged Bella Swan was emotionally. What if she grew to regret her decision? Edward had proved to be tangible, because they'd gotten back together. But humanity was different. Once that was gone it'd never come back, no matter how much a person wanted it to.

Alice gave it all a thought, she gave her sister a small nod "Of course, I do, Rose. I think about it all the time.." though, she wouldn't ever try to think about it when around Edward, because then that would just stir up some unwanted conversations around them all, and none of them needed anymore stress or tension around them for the time being.
Alice really didn't want to see Bella be turned, for the girl to have to go through what all of them did. She wondered if Bella would be able to control her urge for the human blood, would she able to get contain it, or would she go completely burske and actually harm someone that get's in the way.
She gave her head a small shake "Rose, we all worry about this. We really do--Edward the most." she nods her head a little bit "None of us are for sure how she is going to be after she has been changed." she let out a small laugh, as her eyes went out towards over the park once more "She's stubborn, you know. She wants to be changed so she can be with Edward forever..." Alice thought it was sweet, but yet--Bella had so much time to be changed, why rush things..not that she was really complaining, she was getting to plan their wedding and was having a blast at it, but she figured the girl could at least wait to get changed.

"I guess you're right Alice." Rosalie shook her hair a bit to dry it. She was completely drenched from the rain, which was beginning to lighten up. "I know that Bella has to be changed because of the Volturi", she whispered to herself. The one thing that Rosalie was really worried about was how Edward would take it if things went wrong. He'd tried to kill himself once before, and almost succeeded. Would he be that rash once more? Something inside of her knew the answer was yes.
Sighing for what felt like the millionth time that day, Rosalie pushed those thoughts to the back of her mind. It wouldn't do her any good to worry about such things, since it still wouldn't change anything. Suddenly, she remembered the conversation that she had with Bella a few days before. Now is as good a time as ever. "Alice," she began sweetly. "I know how excited your are about the wedding and all. And I know how much you love planning it." Rosalie turned to her sister and smiled. She didn't really want to do this, but a promise was a promise. "Would you mind if I helped you though?"
