24 Control.

Jack's face started slowly having flesh, and his handsome became visible once again. Some fatigue was visible on his face, but it didn't lessen his charm and unusual beauty.

The motorcycle underneath him transformed to its usual state.

''That was dangerous...'' Jack's hand trembled— he felt very tempted to kill everyone around him.

He turned around his motorcycle and started driving back to the town.

Once he arrived there, he saw destroyed cars in the streets, while many angry people was looking at the cars.

Most of them were the owners of the cars.

He could also see the asphalt road melting.

'If Ghost Rider was proper hero, the amount of property damage he needs to pay is outrageous.'

He started driving towards the hospital, where Cullens should have arrived already.

There was only few cars parked in the parking lot of the hospital, while the lounge looked dead silent.

Jack parked his motorcycle and started walking towards the hospital.

A young woman was sitting at the registration desk. Her eyelids looked heavy, and she could fall asleep at any moment.

Jack tapped her desk, which made her flinch.

She turned her hazel eyes towards Jack and instantly blushed, ''Y-Yes?''

''Did two individuals come here today? A young girl and her father?'' Jack asked.

''A-Ah, yes! Doctor Cullen is taking care of them currently.'' The young woman said with an energetic expression.

''Can I go see them?'' Jack asked.

''I-It's past visiting hours...'' The young woman said with a troubled look, but then she smiled, ''I-If I can get your phone number... I will pretend that I didn't see you today.'' She smiled sweetly and waited for his response.

Jack looked troubled, but then loud footsteps came from upstairs.

A lovely person was descending the stairs. She was petite, with small, pixie-like features. She also has large eyes and long, delicate eyebrows.

Her beautiful face was twitching in annoyance.

The receptionist recognized her as Doctor Cullen's daughter.

''Miss Alice.'' The receptionist said with a small smile.

Alice snorted and grabbed Jack's hand, ''I am taking him— my father is waiting for him.''

''A-Ah, yes!'' The receptionist said loudly, with slight reluctance.

Alice grabbed Jack's hand tightly and dragged him to upstairs.

''I leave you alone for one moment, and some flies go near you!'' Alice shouted with a dark look on her face.

Jack shrugged, ''I wasn't going to give her my number.''

''I know...'' Alice said quietly.

They entered a hospital room where two figures was seen on the bed.

Bella was talking with Edward while her right leg was in a cast.

Charlie was still unconscious, with bandages around his forehead and arm.

Bella and Edward quieted down and watched as Jack entered the room.

Carlisle nodded.

Esme gently smiled.

Rosalie and Emmett was sitting next to Esme, while Edythe and Jasper was sitting on the other side of the room.

''Can you show me?'' Bella asked.

Jack raised an eyebrow, but then he saw Edward's nod.

He sighed and nodded.

Half of his face started transforming, and soon flaming skull was visible until it disappeared once again.

Bella took a deep breath and awkwardly chuckled, ''I-I feel kind of silly now.''

Jack sat next to Carlisle while Alice sat in his lap.

''How is Charlie?'' Jack asked from Carlisle.

''He will be fine. He will wake up tomorrow morning, but his body might be in quite a lot of pain.'' Carlisle said.

Jack nodded.

''You managed to control it— I am proud of you,'' Esme said with a smile.

Jack scratched his cheek, 'Not completely... I even felt sinners from nearby cities, which made me go almost crazy.' He thought, but he didn't plan to reveal that.

''Get rest, Bella,'' Carlisle said and started walking out of the hospital room.

Rosalie, Emmett, Esme, Edythe, and Jasper followed behind him.

Alice stood up, and Jack followed behind her.

''I will stay here for tonight,'' Edward said.

Others nodded and left the room.

While they were walking in the corridors, an anxious-looking young man appeared.

He had tanned skin with a lanky build, and he wore his long black hair in a ponytail, but there was some childish roundedness in his face.

'Jacob...' Jack was shocked.

Cullens took a glance at him.

Rosalie snorted and turned away.

Jacob didn't care about them— instead, he entered the room Bella was in.

Cullens and Jack left the hospital and entered the parking lot where Jack's motorcycle was located.

''See you at home,'' Carlisle said and started running towards the nearby forest, while others followed behind him.

Only Jack and Alice was left in the parking lot.

Alice was flustered, ''Tomorrow is prom... So see you then!'' She kissed his cheek and ran after Carlisle and others.

Jack smiled and touched the cheek she kissed.

He felt nervous and excited about tomorrow.

It could be the best day of his life or... the day of his death.

Jack sat on his motorcycle and started driving away.

But before that, he saw enraged Jacob leaving the hospital.

'I guess the meeting didn't go well...' Jack thought.

Jacob looked at the black-haired young man and narrowed his eyes.

He remembered him walking with Cullens.

''Nice bike,'' Jacob said and started walking away.

Jack nodded and started driving towards the motel.

...

Alice reached the Cullens residence and saw the rest of Cullens sitting in the living room.

''Jack didn't come?'' Esme asked.

Alice shook her head, ''Tomorrow is prom night, and I don't want him to see me before that.''

Edythe giggled and stood up, ''Is our little Alice trying to do something tomorrow night?''

''N-No?'' Alice said, but she looked very suspicious.

Edythe grinned, ''I see...'' She started walking upstairs.

She went past Alice, but then she whispered, ''Use protection.''

''Go away!'' Alice shouted and pushed Edythe gently.

Edythe giggled and went upstairs.

Even though Edythe whispered, everyone heard clearly.

Alice felt embarrassed— she went to the kitchen and opened the refrigerator.

She grabbed a small egg and closed the refrigerator.

She went straight towards her room, but she heard Emmett trying to suppress his laughter.

Alice felt even more embarrassed.

She entered her room and sat on her bed.

''Control...'' She muttered and moved the egg in her hand.

She grabbed it and moved it around in her tiny palm.

Trying not to break it.

She is trying to learn to control her strength better.

She kept doing that entire night and didn't stop even after the sky became bright.

Today isn't school, only the prom later today.

Alice's room was littered with broken eggshells.

She broke a lot of eggs last night, and the eggs in the house would have already disappeared.

But Esme went to buy more because she knew what Alice was trying to do.

''Alright...'' Alice cheered quietly.

She managed to stay 1 hour without breaking the egg, her new record.

Today is an important day in both Alice's and Jack's life.

It could be either the best day in their lives.

Or it can end in disaster.
