Prologue

Him

"I hope you know that I love you." She announced. "I hope you know you are the only thing that keeps me on this world. I know you are scared, but listen. I will be right here with you, at all times." I said. "I…I… What If I don't come back?" She started to cry after she had that. "Shhh… Everything is going to be fine! You have nothing to worry about." She never had her shirt off in front of me so it was odd to find myself rubbing her bare shoulder and then her back. It was, I thought, like stroking some sort of sea creature. "You'd know I've been through a lot, and that no matter what, I'll always be okay." She said. I really hope so.

Bella's POV (November 6)

That's all you can do!" I shouted at Dr. Cullen. "I'm sorry, but I can't do anything for you. If you want, I could find a therapist for you. Or, I could have you talk to the most upbeat people I know of. My wife Esme and my daughter Alice would surely love to talk to you sometimes." Dr. Cullen calmly explained to me. "I'm sorry I yelled. I was just upset. If you forgive me, I would like talk to Alice and Esme a few times. Just not therapy." I replied. For some reason, I felt relatively calmer. "Carlisle, Alice is here. She would like to talk to you." A boy explained. They must have known each other. "Jasper, I would like you to meet Bella. She is a patient and I would like Alice to talk to her occasionally." Carlisle said. "Hello Jasper. How are you today?" I asked, trying to make small talk. How do you two know each other?" I wondered. "Carlisle is my adoptive father. And I am quite well today, thank you. I'm assuming you aren't feeling the same way." Jasper responded. "Carlisle, will you please come with me?" Jasper asked. "Oh, of course. Bella, wait right here, I will just be a minute." Carlisle said to me. I had wanted to know what they were talking about, but I couldn't hear them. I quickly adjusted my hearing aid. "Carlisle, what are you doing?" asked Jasper. "Look," Carlisle responded, "I had to. I know that this will please Alice, to have a girlfriend. She can barely see, and needs to have a hearing aid in her ear her whole life. I just had to." Had to what? I pondered on the thought that came up in my mind for a moment. Jasper was about to talk until a very small voice interrupted. "You wanted me to talk to someone?" It was either Esme or Alice. "Alice, just in time. Listen. Bella was raped about two hours ago, she is blind, can't hear very well. Please, just go talk to her. She is 18, so I would wanted to know if you would like if we…. Took care of her for a while?" Carlisle asked. Take CARE of me? I am 18, so I should be able to make my own decisions. Things around them got suddenly quiet. "Alice, what is it?" Jasper asked. "I just had a vision. Bella will say yes. Oh, this is so excellent!" Alice said excitedly. How on earth does she know? I thought. Her outburst was followed by Carlisle telling her to be quiet. The door opened unexpectedly, and then Alice came in. "Hello Alice." I said. "How did you know it was me?" She asked. "I'm not blind, like he says. I can see things, but not how you would see. I see with the vibrations in the earth. I can see you," I said while putting my arm out in her direction. "I can see this chair," I said while touching the chair. "I can even see that ant on the ground near your left foot." I was pretty sure she was confused. "How can you see me?" she asked. Clearly she didn't understand vibrations. "Notice how I don't wear shoes. I never wear shoes. When I have my actual body on the ground, I can sense the vibrations. I can sense when someone takes a small breath, or when something is still. I don't see in color, I see in black and white. The background is black, while the outlines, down to every last detail, is in white. It is quite amazing, actually." I said "You can hear me?" She asked. "Oh, I can hear you clearly. In fact, I overheard your conversation outside. What did you mean visions?" I asked.

Alice's POV

"Bella, my visions are… complicated." Oh, I couldn't lie to her. She just told me she's blind, but can see better than every human in the world. She just told me she is deaf, but can hear things that a human standing not two feet away from me could hear. "I've had visions for the majority of my life. I'm a psychic. I have visions of decisions people make, but only when they make them. I still have these visions, only intensified." She probably wouldn't believe me anyways. Surprisingly, she completely understood. Wow. I didn't think she would have so much… acceptance. "Yes, and I'm sure that the rest of my family, including Rosalie, Emmett, Edward, Bree, and Esme, would love to meet you. I was only going to tell her a few things about my life, but nothing about vampires. I would like to keep it that way. "So Bella," I went on, "Would you like to come?" I already knew the outcome. "Yes." She answered.

Bella's POV (The day after)

As I arrived at the Cullen household, I noticed the size. I normally don't like to get near huge things, because then I don't notice the smaller things. "Er… Alice? Is this your house?" I asked. I hoped not. "Yes, it is, do you like it?" she asked. She was very upbeat, as Carlisle said. "Oh, it's great." I must have stood there for a bit, because I heard her say, "Bella, are you coming?" I just was distracted. Yes. "Oh shoot, I forgot my cane." I said. I often forget things when I am thinking. "Oh no, I put it in the back. Just a minute." Before I could even start walking to the trunk, she handed me the walking stick. "Thanks Alice." I said. "Oh, no problem. Come, I would like you to meet my family" She responded. I walked in to the house and was greeted by 3 females and 2 males. Alice walked over to a female and was introducing her to me as Esme, Carlisle's wife. "Esme, Carlisle says that you are very… positive." I said. She laughed, as if she got that a lot. "Yes, he would say that. Alice says that you want to come a few times a week. That would be great." Esme said. "Are you a mother?" I asked. It sounded stupid, but she sounded so caring and, well, motherly. "Carlisle and I found out I couldn't have kids, so we adopted." Esme responded. Alice introduced me to Rosalie and Emmett, who were madly in love. She then introduced me to Bree, the youngest. She was a year older than me. I also bonded with her the most. She was quite hesitant to introduce me to the last male. So, I went up to him, put my hand out, and said, "Hi, I'm Bella." I immediately felt something with him. "Hello, Bella I'm Edward. It is such a pleasure to meet you." He told me in a calming, gentle voice. "The pleasure is all mine." I said. Something about these people, just sets me off. Before I had the chance to speak, Carlisle and Jasper walked in. "Bree, why don't you go upstairs with Bella." He said. Bree walked up the stairs as I followed. We walked to the end of the hallway and stood in front of a door, which I assumed, was her bedroom. "Listen. I was recently… adopted. Alice and Esme were supposed to take me furniture shopping, but the trip was cancelled. So, I don't have any furniture for now. I sleep on the couch downstairs." Bree explained. "Okay. Er… can I tell you something? I don't know for sure though." I told her. "Sure, talk away." Bree said. When she said 'talk away' she also brought her arm from one end of her body to the other, almost like a rainbow over her head. "I think I'm pregnant. Please don't tell."

Esme POV

I heard Bree shout my name, so I ran upstairs. I called to my family, "I'll see what the problem is." I was nervous. I thought the worst. Bree was just over a year old vampire-wise. I truthfully thought Bree couldn't control herself and… I couldn't even think it. When I was there, I saw Bella with a tear running down her face. "What's wrong?" I asked her. "Bree, why did you scream?" I asked Bree. She had replied with, "Bella just told me she was… pregnant." Bella was very upset with her. "Why did you have to tell her?" she asked. "Wait, wouldn't Edward know?" I whispered to Bree. "Why would Edward know?" Bella asked. How could she possibly hear us? "I can adjust my hearing aid. Why would Edward know?" she asked again. "Edward can… read minds." I hated telling her, but she would find out sooner or later. "Just like Alice can see the future?" she asked. "Uh... Yeah. J...J...Just like that." I stuttered, wondering how she knew. "Come with me." I told her. I had to see for myself. "Please just think of a color, okay? This won't take long" I told Bella. "Edward, what color is Bella thinking of?" I asked Edward. "Hmm, I can't read her mind. Alice, you saw her in your vision, right?" He asked. "Yes, I saw her. What about Jazz?" She asked. "Bella, how would you describe your mood?" Jasper asked Bella. "A bit depressed. Sad." She answered. "How would you describe it now?" he asked. "Still the same." She replied. We all looked at each other in astonishment. This girl was special.
