"Bethany!" she said, her voice still echoing some semblance of surprise - she couldn't' remember the last time she had seen the other vampire. She stood up from under the tree slowly, moving toward the other. "It's good to see you! Did you just arrive?"

She hesitated a bit - that was going to get into all sorts of awkward territory. 'Edward's human soul mate got bitten and is being turned' kind of awkward. She cleared her throat a bit, and smiled again.
"We seem to be trickling in bit by bit," she said lightly. "Most of the family's here at this point." She paused. "No one from Denali yet though," she added thoughtfully, wondering why that was.

"Most of the family like who?" Bethany asked carefully.

She wondered if that was going to require more of an explanation. Bella, after all, was a rather recent addition to the Cullen family. Though maybe Bethany was from a different point in the timeline? Hadn't Jasper mentioned they'd called on friends and family to fight the Volturi on... Renesmee's behalf?
With a vague sort of smirk, she realized that this Bella wouldn't have a Renesmee. She wondered how the girl would take that, assuming she ever found out.

Turning. Ah, the question of the day. "We're in the process," she said with a slow nod. "There was - ah - an accident yesterday. She was bitten in the process." She neglected to say by whom, though Jasper's bloodstained eyes would be obvious when she saw them. "I don't believe Edward would have turned her so quickly," she frowned. "He was a tad stubborn in that regard."
She did wonder if she was saying too much, but she reasoned it would come out eventually. And it wasn't as though it were a completely stranger she was revealing it to either.

She ran a tongue over her lips a few times, reluctant to admit it out loud, before she let out an exhale. The eyes meant it wasn't much of a secret. But she certainly wasn't admitting without an explanation.
"We're at war?" she said, to confirm that they were on the same page. "So we were attacked yesterday. Pure chaos. It made everyone act..." she frowned. "Differently. Jasper..." she sighed. "Had no control. At least, not over his..."
She sighed. "I was distracted," she muttered. "But I managed to stop before he killed her, which would have been disastrous." She glanced over sharply. "It wasn't his fault." She wanted to be clear on that point. Not that she thought Bethany would question it, she was just quick on the defence today.

She sobered a bit. "Bella's changing, obviously, and I believe we suffered one casualty in addition to that..." she wondered if she was insensitive for not mentioning that upfront just because it hadn't been someone she knew. "But other than that..." she said, trailing off, wondering what else there was to say.
She smiled a bit. "It usually isn't this... bad," she said. "Things can be good here. We had Christmas the other day, if you can believe it," she said, as if that somehow made up for everything that had gone wrong.

Or she could stay here and Bethany could go looking for him, she thought were another smirk.

She grinned wickedly. "But it's no trouble, I'm sure. I'm sure he'll be happy to see you," she added. "He's been... missing Rose, I think. She hasn't been summoned."
Alice wondered if she should bother adding a 'yet' onto that - it was pretty unlikely at this point that she would be summoned anyway - but... it was cruel to say that she wasn't going to be summoned.
She shrugged, heading off at a slightly faster than human pace in the general direction of the town, searching for Emmett.
