NEW MOON monologue

This I wrote one night, attempting to sketch the cover of Stephanie Meyer's New Moon. If anybody reads this, you may or may not know that I am a lover of the theatre. For you Twilight fans, (my father calls us "Twinkies,") you will enjoy this! The speaker is Alice Cullen, she is speaking to Bella. *SPOILER ALERT* It is from Chapter 19, "The Race" which is the chapter that Alice and Bella are on their way to Italy to save Edward Cullen. It is the first monologue I have created, although it's not from my own mind.

Speaker: Alice Cullen, speaking to first Jasper, and then to Bella
Setting: On a plane

[On the phone]
"I can't be sure, I keep seeing him do different things, he keeps changing his mind... A killing spree through the city, attacking the guard, lifting a car over his head in the main square... mostly things that would expose them- he knows that's the fastest way to force a reaction... [Waits as Jasper speaks on the other line]
"No, you cant. (Whispering) Tell Emmett no... Well, go after Emmett and Rosalie and bring them back... Think about it, Jasper. If he sees any of us, what do you think he will do?
[nods]
"Exactly. I think Bella is the only chance- if there is a chance.... I'll do everything that can be done, but prepare Carlisle; the odds arent good.
[laughs]
"I've thought about that.... Yes, I promise. (Pleading) Don't follow me. I promise, Jasper. One way or another, I'll get out.... And I love you.
[Eyes closed, leaning back in seat]
"I hate lying to him. Two reasons. The first I told him. We could try to stop Edward ourselves- if Emmett could get his hands on him, we might be able to stop him long enought to convince him you're alive. But we can't sneak up on Edward. And if he sees us coming for him, he'll just act that much faster. He'll throw a Buick through a wall or something, and the Volturi will take him down.
"That's the second reason, of course, the reason I couldn't say to Jasper. Because if they're there and the Volturi kill Edward, they'll fight them. Bella.
[opens eyes]
"If there were any chance we could win.... if there were a way that the four of us could save my brother by fighting for him, maybe it would be different. But we can't, and, Bella, I can't lose Jasper like that."

Thanks to Stephanie Meyer for writing such a wonderful book, and thanks Mrs. McGarvey of the Flathead High School Theatre Department for educating me in the theatre as well as Ms. Moody and Mr. Hashley.
