MANIPULATIVE || Edward Cullen

Alice

"Alice? What's happening?"
"I don't know, Ce, but we're gonna figure it out."

The Volturi kings and guards watched in awe as Alice spoke aloud to Celia, who was evidently trapped inside the pixie-like vampires body and mind. The petite, blond-headed body laid limp on the ground where Edward had gently set her. Alice did her best to explain to her family what was happening. Celia chiming in here and there, only heard by Alice herself.
It was a bizarre feeling for Celia. She could feel "her" lips moving, but Alice's words were all that flowed out. Celia herself had no real voice, just her thoughts. She couldn't move "her" arms or legs or body, but felt it like they were her own parts when Alice moved them at will. When Alice spoke, it was like Celia was hearing herself speak, but with someone else's voice and words.
A hand landed on their shoulder, and Celia was flustered when she realized it was Jasper brushing their cheek gently and whispering soft words to Alice. Celia had all of Alice's memories and feelings, so she was quite shy in finding that she wanted to pretend Jasper was speaking to her, and not just the body she was in. She wondered if Edward could hear her in there.
"I can." Celia's vision turned to Edward who began taking steps toward them. Celia wanted to wrap her arms around him and breathe in his scent, but remembered she had no control over them. However, it seemed Alice could sense the longing Celia felt. The tiny vampire wrapped her arms around Edward's waist. Celia nearly cried out in her thoughts about the comfort it brought her to feel herself hugging him. Edward was taken back a bit, before wrapping his arms around his sister and mate's shared body.
Things are getting weird. Celia thought, making Alice giggle lightly as she pulled away.
"You're right." The owner of the body agreed.
"I believe we could be of service." A sly voice spoke, and Celia watched as Alice looked to the kings.
"We can handle it," Jasper puffed out his chest and Celia wanted to not love him as much as she loved Edward, but how could she not? He was adorable and protective and her mate.
Nooo he's not. Celia attempted to convince herself. Alice's comfort level was dropping ever so slowly as Celia felt of Jasper the same way she did.
"If that's what you all wish," Aro offered, staring straight through Alice's eyes and Celia knew he was talking to her.
Maybe we could use all the help we can get. Celia suggested, but she felt the head on their body shake slowly. Alice was thinking about all the ways it could go wrong if they accepted help from the kings, and then Celia began to feel fuzzy-brained and her vision turned white before it cleared up to...

Dead bodies.
Many.
Many dead bodies. Volturi bodies.
Aro cowering in fear, pleading for his life.
A petite blonde with an ice cold glare standing above him.
A murdered mate at her feet .

Celia was screaming in her mind and Alice clamped her hands over her ears, as if to stop the noise within her head.
"Alice, what did you see?" People questioned, but Alice couldn't hear over Celia's horrified shouts.
"Celia, please!" Alice begged, falling to her knees. The deafening screams made her feel like she was going to pass out.
LET ME OUT
LET ME OUT
The screaming stopped abruptly when two pairs of arms wrapped around Alice's tiny body. Celia was crying softly, exhausted and pleading.
Let me out
"We're going to help you without that happening, Celia, I promise. Just please, no more screaming." Alice panted.
What was that?! Celia whimpered.
"I had a vision," Alice explained.
"you're okay now, alice," Celia wanted to cringe as Jasper looked into her eyes and said it.
I'm not alice. I'm not alice. I'm not alice.
"Its okay, Celia. You're Celia."
I have an idea. Celia was reluctant, but her brain was getting fuzzy and she was starting to forget things.

The Volturi hesitated to leave, but eventually wished the family luck on their endeavors. Celia explained her plan to Alice, who reluctantly explained to the rest of the Cullens.
"No. You're not going there." Edward argued, but Celia, through Alice's eyes, looked to him and thought clearly for him to hopefully understand why it was so important.
I can't remember my name. She pleaded softly, and Edwards eyes softened considerably with pity, love, and fear.
"Celia." He said, and shivers ran down Alice's spine.
Not alice.

HELLO BONKERS FANS ❤❤ I am so sorry it took me so long to get this short opening chapter up, I've been having technology problems. Sorry this is so short, it's just a little set up for the plot to come! I want to thank you all so much for sticking with not only me, but Celia through her adventures. I appreciate every read, comment, and message I receive. You are the reason I keep writing. ❤ I hope you enjoy the second part to BONKERS, MANIPULATIVE.
