"I think that about covers it," Alice said finally, dropping her hand from her neck as her shoulders slumped slightly．

The moment they had all congregated back at their old home, questions had come rushing at her from everyone as they tried to piece together what it was exactly that had happened over to the past few days, and how two members of their family, and Bella, had almost ended up dying in Italy．
"Okay," Esme said softly, still looking at Alice curiously. "That explains what happened with your vision," she continued causing Alice to sigh deeply. "What it doesn't explain is what's going on between you and Edward.”
Alice looked over at Esme and then away again quickly, her eyes skittering around the room, pausing for a long moment on Jasper, before she sighed again and stared off in the distance towards their once-used kitchen．
Esme turned her attention to Edward. Edward, however, paid no attention to her questioning look, and remained silent, his stony gaze never wavering from glaring at Alice．
"Edward," Carlisle began when Esme entreaty was ignored. "I hope you don't blame your sister for what happened. We all know that Alice's visions are not absolute, and with the werewolf in the picture, there's no way she could have known that Bella was fine when she left.”
Edward breathed in deeply, his trim but well-muscled figure shaking faintly．
Ｈe remained silent．
"That's not why he's mad at me," Alice said softly, her voice cracking as she forced herself to meet the eyes that were now staring at her．
"Why the hell not?" Rosalie asked, "That's why he's mad at me," she continued a little petulantly．
"Rose," Jasper said softly before Alice or any of the others could respond. "Please be quiet, and let her talk.”
Rosalie blinked at the rebuke, but said nothing. Jasper very rarely spoke to anyone that way, and she sensed that he had an idea about what Alice was going to say and that it was serious．
Alice looked over at Jasper gratefully, mouthing 'thank you' to him before she closed her eyes and tried to gather her courage．
"Ｈe 
" she breathed out before stopping, her stomach twisting in knots. "Ｈe's mad at me because of Bella," she finally said, the words coming out in a rush as her stomach clenched painfully．
She knew that the truth was going to come out sooner or later, and that it was better to address the subject openly, but that didn't make it any easier to actually get the conversation started．
"Is that so?" Carlisle asked looking over at the ever immobile Edward．
Edward shivered again, but managed to nod his head．
"It was," Carlisle began carefully, "a dangerous situation for Bella to be in. But she is a strong minded girl, and I think we all know that once she made up her mind to go to Volterra, that she would have found a way there even if she didn't go with Alice. At least, in this case, she had a very capable protector with her," he went on watching Edward closely．
Edward remained still and silent．
"That's not what he's mad about," Alice said shifting uncomfortably as the eyes in room turned to her once again．
"Well then, what is he mad about?" Carlisle asked, watching Alice intently．
Alice usually spoke quite freely, and openly. Ｈe wasn't used to pulling teeth to try and induce her to talk, and her reticence worried him．
"I " Alice began, her mouth staying open for a moment even though no words came out. "I," she began again before pausing and taking in a shaky breath once more. "I had with Bella," continued, vaguely registering that everything was coming out mixed up. "When I at the Swan's I had I slept with Bella," she finally managed to get out, her tiny frame shuddering as the words finally left her mouth．
The room was silent in the wake of her declaration, the calm before the storm．
"What the hell?”
"What is it about this girl that makes everyone go insane!”
