Seth jumping up on the bed woke me up, instead on settling on Alice's lap, he jumped onto mine. I looked at him, as he nudged my hand.

"Told you he liked you."

I looked at Alice, as she looked at Seth. He started purring, as she scratched behind his ears.

"Yeah."

A little while later, Seth decided he'd had enough and jumped off the bed. We got up and went downstairs. Esme was on the couch with Milly and Ness. They smiled when they saw me. Ness looked a little nervous, like she knew we'd overheard. I smiled, sitting on the couch.

"Hey, when did you get back?"

"A few hours ago. Adam is in his room. Apparently, someone." Esme looked at Alice. "Punched him, and he was dragged off by Emmett."

They had gotten back a little while after Emmett. And after he dragged Adam off to who knows where. I nodded, looking at her.

"Yeah, the three of us were down here, and Adam walked in. I was next to Alice, and he growled at me. Then someone." I nudged Alice. "Lost it, pinned him against the wall and punched him when he growled at me again. A little while later, Emmett got back a little while later and dragged him who knows where. Something about hurting his baby sister."

She nodded, looking at me. Milly looked at me, nervous.

"You OK, Milly?"

She shrugged, looking away.

"I just wish that twit would understand that's all."

She looked at me. I knew what she meant, someone was going to do something if he doesn't stop.

"He'll get it eventually, he will."'

Alice looked at me, shaking her head.

"No, you can't kill him."

The other three laughed, looking at me.

"Well, maybe not murder-"

"No."

She laughed, shaking her head. Rosalie walked in with Emmett, sitting down.

"Please tell he didn't try anything else?"

I shook my head, looking at Rosalie.

"No, apparently I'm not allowed hurt him."

A little while later, Alice and I went out. We were walking, hand in hand.

"Ness looked terrified, when we walked in."

That made me laugh, and I shook my head.

"Well, the rooms are soundproof, as long as you close the door. Which she didn't."

Alice laughed, squeezing my hand.

"Yeah, she was afraid you would react the way Edward would've."

I shook my head, looking at her.

"I wouldn't, you know that. She's happy, that's all that matters. I like Milly, it's just her brother that annoys me."

She stopped walking, and looked at me.

"Come on."

She led me to a large lake. And sat on one of the rocks at the edge. I sat next to her, looking at her.

"Bella, I can handle Adam. Don't worry. Do you honestly think I'd do that to you?"

I couldn't believe she was asking me that. I never even considered that. I just don't like the idea of him constantly watching her. I took her hand, looking at her.
