"That might be precisely what Aro wants, Esme. I know he more specifically wants me than Edward…" The pixie paced and fist her hands in her hair, desperately trying to see more of the out come. Jasper was in the woods with Emmett so he wasn’t there to calm her emotions. She felt frantic, angry and upset that she could see more. "I need to leave for a couple hours… at least until I can see something more clearly."

Words wouldn’t come out of Esme’s mouth. She was left shaking her head back and forth in an almost frantic pace. The last thing Esme wanted was for Alice to leave at a time like this. What if the Volturi were to find her out there, alone? No, it wouldn’t happen on Esme’s watch. “No, Alice. It’s dangerous. If they find you --” Esme’s mouth was gaping open, but she was lost for words. “I can’t let that happen...” 

Nina pursed her lips to the side a little, eyeing the woman in front of her carefully “You’ve got kids too?— Do you know how to play chess? My papas friend got me a chess board and no one plays with me—”

“No one plays with you?” Esme asked the little girl, as a little bit of a frown appeared on her face. When Esme thought about it, it made sense. Not many kids would be interested in chess. “I do know how to play! It’s a favorite past time in my family.”

"Esme, I feel so helpless, right now… I don’t know their intentions, so I can do anything to change what’s happening," Alice said in a sad frustrated tone. "I don’t know what they would want with us… unless…" Her eyes widened, no it just could be. Edward had sad it was a possibly long ago.

"Unless... What, Alice?" The situation could escalate at any moment, and Esme was already worried for her family. Any possible reason was soaring through her mind, digging at every corner of her sanity. "What did Edward say? What could he have possibly said? What would they want with us? Besides you and your gift, and potentially Edward and his gift.."

Bella had another fight with Edward. Though they had come back to Forks and Edward confessed that he had always loved Bella all along, she was having trouble believing it. Edward had was still refusing to change her, even after the Cullens had voted on it. She stormed out of Edward’s room downstairs. Angry tears staining her face. She had told Edward not to follow her. But, where would she go? Not home, she didn’t want Charlie to storm up to the Cullen’s house with his rifle in hand. The thought made her shiver.

"Bella?" Esme's soft voice echoed through the family room. At times it was nice to have inhuman hearing - however, at times like this, Esme felt as if she was invading Bella and Edward's privacy. Esme hovered for a moment, before slowly uncrossing her arms, closing in on the empty space between herself and Bella. "Bella, what's the matter?" 

  “I’m Nina Uley— That’s my mommy..” She motioned to Emily who was still busy “You and Dr.Cullen look alike— he’s my doctor..” Nina nodded still fiddling with her bag strap “Did you bring him lunch? Mommy does that for papa sometimes.”

It was easy to convince humans that their family were, too, human. And while Esme would normally go against lying, at times like this it kept their family safe. "She does? Why, I guess mothers think alike now don't they!" Esme lightly laughed. 

"I can’t really see, the vision was not very clear… The Volturi. They are coming. Not for Renesmee like last time. Their intentions aren’t really clear to me. I couldn’t see that part in the vision."

"The.... Volturi?" Esme quietly repeated, as the words Alice just spoke burned into Esme. It couldn't possibly be good, and Esme could already feel her heart shattering. This couldn't be happening to their family. Not again. 

Esme practically had the house to herself for the day, with only the 'children' popping in and out quickly. It wasn't any different than a school day for the children, while Carlisle was at work, though it could get lonely. Esme was keeping herself busy, doing housework and taking breaks to read a book.
