"He can't be serious, he's going to endanger us all for a human girl?" Rosalie's voice could be heard as she practically screamed at Carlisle.
Her voice hadn't been raised but the vampires would have heard her fury even if she whispered as softly as she could.
Emmet didn't bother to stop for a single moment as he opened the door and together with Jack headed into the office.
Carlisle was seated at his desk as he held his head in what appeared to be tiredness from the situation itself.
As a vampire, he couldn't be drained physically but emotions and mind still did, that was a part of vampires that remained vulnerable even after their transformation.
"I can't say anything for Edward himself, I'm sure he had a reason for his actions," Carlisle said calmly as he looked at Rosalie, his gaze unshaken by her words.
'This bastard. What do you mean I'm sure he had a reason.' Jack thought to himself as he sighed inwardly at the hypocrisy going on inside the room.
Jack came to the conclusion that he had misjudged Rosalie quite a bit.
'She's a bitch but at least she doesn't go back on her own words' Jack thought as he nodded his head slightly in approval of Rosalie's behavior.
Still, no matter what Rosalie said, Carlisle remained adamant that Edward had made a good choice and that he wouldn't endanger the entire family.
'Right, let's just hope that's true' Jack thought as the door of the room opened up once more, and inside the room came Alice, Jasper, and even Edward who had come here with the Ambulance.
"Why did you do it" Rosalie asked as she turned to face Edward.
Edward remained frozen for but a split second before he gave her a stale answer.
"My body moved on its own, before I knew what was happening I was already on the other side of the parking lot," Edward said with a shallow sigh.
'Yeah, as if anyone is going to believe that bullshit that's spewing out of your mouth' Rosalie and Jack shockingly had the exact same thoughts as they stared at the auburn-haired vampire.
"What done is done and we can't go back. What are you going to do about Bella Swan, she clearly saw you saving her didn't she?" Carlisle asked as he looked at Edward and then for the first time since he had come into the room Carlisle's eyes wandered over to Jack, it was a split second but Jack was sure Carlisle had been looking at him.

'What, are you saying that it would be better if I wasn't in the room? Because you're going let her live aren't you Bastards?' Jack thought in his own language that he had created, it was frustrating having to switch it every time Edward was near however at the moment it was also the only way for Jack to hide his thoughts from the telepath.
"She won't know anything and even if she knew who's going to believe her? Nobody else saw anything and I could simply lie to her and say that I was right next to her when the van started swerving towards her. If she suspects anything I'll just say that she had a shock at the accident and her memories were quite jumbled up" Edward said as he crossed his arms.
It looked like his decision was final and he would take no refute.
Jack stood there as he watched Edward say word after word, how he wasn't going to do anything even though it was clear that a human had learned of the supernatural.
*Touch*
Jack quickly turned his head to look at who it had been.
On his left, the person who had touched his hand had been Alice who gave him a small smile.
'Are you telling me that you're sorry? Sorry?' Jack thought to himself and almost fell to the almost irresistible urge to launch a full-blown laughter right at this very moment.
It was funny, oh so hilarious this entire situation was that is.
Here he was, the very man they had turned, they had killed and revived back to life just to save one secret.
In the same room with the people who had caused him pain unimaginable to the human brain, they were talking about how they wouldn't punish a girl who had committed the same crime as he had according to their rules.
It was Hypocrisy at its finest and Jack was only able to stop himself because of his intelligence stat.
Jack had noticed that it wasn't a simple intelligence increase as you wouldn't really notice it that easily, and you would consider it a part of yourself, but the intelligence granted by the stats was different.
It was like an aid that constantly pushed him closer to the answer.
It was closer to a cheat sheet than anything else.
He had used that intelligence stat to determine that his going berserk wasn't going to do anything, him crying wasn't going to do anything.
Nothing that he did would ever matter at this point right now.
But that was the now and not the future.
Jack had been in the middle about the Cullens, on one end they had robbed him of his entire life but on the other hand he had gained immortality albeit it was quite a twisted life.
However from what he was seeing right now.
Jack simply felt disgusted.
'These people were able to kill me? I should be ashamed but that doesn't matter, if I'm disgustingly weak right now then I'll just become stronger, if someone managed to rob me of everything in the past then I'll make sure they won't even be able to steal a single strand of hair.' Jack thought as his will firmed itself as he looked at the participants in the room.
'I won't allow you to swerve me in any direction that you want, you said I'm family now but doesn't it seem that Carlisle is only listening to Edward right now? Only thinking of Edwards's personal wishes and not the family's wellbeing' Jack thought as he almost sneered at the blond man.
