ead toward me。
Jane turned her smile in my direction。
I didn't even meet her gaze。 I watched Edward from the prison of Alice's arms;
still struggling pointlessly。
〃He's fine;〃 Alice whispered in a tight voice。 As she spoke; he sat up; and
then sprang lightly to his feet。
His eyes met mine; and they were horror…struck。 At first I thought the horror
was for what he had just
suffered。 But then he looked quickly at Jane; and back to me—and his face
relaxed into relief。
I looked at Jane; too; and she no longer smiled。 She glared at me; her jaw
clenched with the intensity of
her focus。 I shrank back; waiting for the pain。
Nothing happened。
Edward was by my side again。 He touched Alice's arm; and she surrendered me to
him。
Aro started to laugh。 〃Ha; ha。 ha;〃 he chuckled。 〃This is wonderful!〃
Jane hissed in frustration; leaning forward like she was preparing to spring。
〃Don't be put out; dear one;〃 Aro said in a forting tone; placing a powder

〃She confounds us all。〃
Jane's upper lip curled back ever her teeth as she continued to glare at me。
〃Ha; ha; ha;〃 Aro chortled again。 〃You're very brave; Edward; to endure in
silence。 I asked Jane to do
that to me once—just out of curiosity。〃 He shook his head in admiration。
Edward glared; disgusted。
〃So what do we do with you now?〃 Aro sighed。
Edward and Alice stiffened。 This was the part they'd been waiting for。 I began
to tremble。
〃I don't suppose there's any chance that you've changed your mind?〃 Aro asked
Edward hopefully。
〃Your talent would be an excellent addition to our little pany。〃
