Jasper ducked into the next room in a blink as Emmett slid into the living room at lightning speed. "Holy shit, sis. Didn't realize you had a mouth like that on you. What's happening, and can I watch?"
Alice suddenly grabbed a glass vase off the coffee table and threw it at the wall, it shattering into hundreds of shards and clattering to the floor from the impact, screaming with a fury of a Greek harpy.
The rest of the present Cullens suddenly appeared in the living room – sans Jasper, who was cowering in the next room, almost trembling from the waves of anger and violence radiating off his mate – watching Alice with alarm. "Woah, Alice!" Amari shouted, motioning for her to calm down.
Rosalie's brows rose in reaction as she walked over to stand beside her mate, watching Alice with intrigue. The last time glass was shattered reactively in their house was when Edward has first brought Bella home and she couldn't contain her frustration. Whatever had Alice swearing like a sailor and throwing like Emmett had to be good.
"Alice, honey, what's wrong?" Esme asked worriedly, her motherly instincts taking charge. "Whatever it is, we can figure it out together. What happened?"
"And will we need our own things to smash once you tell us?" Emmett added, prompting a disapproving glare from their aunt. "Sorry. I mean, what's wrong and how can we help?"
Alice took a moment to compose herself – a very difficult task – before explaining in a dark, cold voice, "Carlisle is taking Emma to his new island to elope."
Jasper came back into the room as the rest of the family all digested the news. He felt immense relief that he did not have to flee for his life as he joined his mate back at her side, taking her hand in his to provide comfort. But the continuous waves of anger told him that his attempts were futile. He knew better than to use his telekinetic powers on her, so he allowed her to feel all the rage bubbling inside her tiny body. "St. Emmaline?" he clarified with his southern drawl. "Didn't he just buy that as his engagement gift to her?"
Amari rolled his eyes with playful annoyance. "He's so unoriginal. I bought Isle Esme as a wedding gift, and he goes and does the exact same thing, only earlier on the timeline to he could one-up me."
"Those sneaky motherfuckers," Emmett cursed with an amused chuckle. "They must have left yesterday when we went hunting and instead of staying at Em's like they told us, they flew to the Bahamas. Fuck, they're probably already there by now."
