The sound of glass shattering on tile immediately siphons the conversation within the room. Shards of glass decorate the surface of the home's rich hardwood floor like small shining crystals, scattered around the site of impact. Jasper mobilizes quickly, catching Alice before she falls onto the floor. He moves behind her and cradles her head in his lap, gently smoothing her hair with his hands.
"Alice?" Jasper's accent-heavy voice rings out, concern colouring the syllables of Alice's name. The stiff silence of the room breaks in an instance, his family all commenting similarly in a flurry of untamed energy.
A vision? A vision.
The Cullen's move to surround them now, seeing no immediate response from Alice they advance on the couple, ready to provide aid if needed. Carlisle frowns, a crease forming in his brow as he crouches next to Jasper, his eyes moving rapidly to observe Alice carefully. He looks towards the group still standing behind him and nods at Esme's silent message. She leaves the room and seconds later she's back with a dustpan and brush taking care of the mess.
Jasper looks towards the Cullen patriarch grimaces, brushing his mate's cheek tenderly before shifting backwards while holding her head steady. Carlisle removes his jacket and folds it roughly, placing it below Alice's head. He reaches into his pocket and pulls out a penlight. Opening his wards eyes he uses the light to observe the dilation of her eyes as they shudder violently in their sockets.
"It's definitely her powers but I'm not sure what has brought on this response. We will have to wait until she has woken up."
Thunderous steps echo through the house as Edward comes rushing towards the kitchen, Bella trailing behind her at a slower pace. Edward's face is in a frown as he begins to take in the volume of his family's thoughts.
"Carlisle? What's happening-" His words cut off abruptly as he breaches the room and locks eyes with Alice's crumpled form. His mind takes in mountains of information as he reads the thoughts of his family, all of their minds' working at a breakneck pace. The biggest amount of information coming from Alice as he interprets the vision within his mind. He observes silently as events play out of order, a macabre slideshow of violence and confusion.
Edward stumbles back a few steps, the intensity of the vision throwing him off-kilter. He steadies himself and casts his gaze towards Jasper. He tries to speak, get any coherent thought from his brain to his mouth, but the words die on his tongue as he looks hopelessly towards his family, Jasper's expression grows grave as he takes in the meaning of Edward's silence. He moves to question exactly what it is Edward saw but he's cut off by a loud slam.
His gaze snaps down towards the source of the sound watching as Alice's eyes open and her body goes rigidly into a sitting position, one hand supporting her weight as the other clutches her shirt tightly right above her stagnant heart.
"Alice, what happened?" Jasper's tone conveys a gentle, probing worry. He reaches to touch Alice but she flinches back silently, her eyes wide and distant. He reaches for her again and she sinks into his touch.
"Alice that vision..." Edward is the first to speak up, having seen most of the events of Alice's vision due to his ability. He pauses trying to grasp the needed words, his usually stoic form disrupted. Bella touches his hand gently from behind, causing him to refocus his thoughts. "In that vision... Was that Faith?"
Alice's eyes drift away from whatever they were looking at down to her hands before they turn towards Jasper. Shoulders shaking with the ghost of a sob she clings to him tightly. Jasper holds her closely, rubbing her back gently as he looks back up to Edward.
"Faith? Alice hasn't been seeing things to do with her recently. What did you see darlin'?"
"Jasper... It's still blurry in my mind. I saw so much at once, it was like there was a buildup of visions and something happened and the dam just broke." She pauses and her eyes widen as she looks towards her partner with more certainty. "Oh my god, wait. I saw blood, there was so much blood. It wasn't clicking but now it is... Oh no oh my god.
