Summary: When Alice saw Edward go to the Volturi she knew the only way to stop him was Bella but what if Rosalie had a plan of her own? EXB co-written by theladykae

'It never made sense for him to love me so when I saw him in her arms I knew I was nothing more than just a mere distraction.'
When Alice had told me exactly what Edward was planning on doing I knew I couldn't just sit around and let him die. Even if he didn't want me and he hated me later for it, he couldn't just throw his life away, well, his immortal life away.
The airport got smaller and smaller as the plane ascended into the air. Alice had her eyes closed and was in deep concentration about what Edward had planned out so far.
"Anything?" I breather out as she opened her eyes.
"They told him no," was her simple answer as I sighed in relief, "but now he is going to try to force their hand."
"What do you mean?"
"He is going to expose them by showing people what he really is," she stated. I took a sharp intake of breath as tears came to my eyes. If he knew what this was doing to her she was sure that she would be in his arms hearing apology after apology for not believing her in the first place, "get some rest, you'll need it."
I didn't have to be asked twice, I knew if something drastic were to happen Alice would wake me up and tell me. It wouldn't be the best sleep I had ever gotten considering that sleeping on a plane was the most uncomfortable way to sleep. It surely didn't help at all that each time I closed my eyes his face appeared and before she could do anything he was gone. Dead.
I heard growling from beside me and I opened my eyes to see Alice arguing silently on the phone, I had no idea as to who was on the receiving end but by the look on Alice's face, let's just say I'm glad it wasn't me. Suddenly she slammed the phone shut and glared at the seat in front of her.
"What's wrong?" I questioned and she just shook her head.
"Get ready to run when we are allowed off," she said trying to stay calm as we descended to the ground. I guess I must have actually been able to sleep for a few house if we were already here.
I didn't question her. When we were allowed up she grabbed my wrist and dragged me along. Without warning she stopped in her tracks and I almost face planted as I stopped before I ran into her. A deathly glare showed on her face as I low growl erupted in her throat.
"Alice?" I questioned noticing her hand tightening around my wrist and I bit my lip to keep from yelping in pain.
"If we hurry I think we can beat her," Alice whispered and I barely caught her words, "Bella, how opposed are you to grand theft auto?"
"The game?" I asked, confusion filled my eyes.
"Silly Bella," she laughed before telling me she would be right back. As promised not even five minutes later I heard tired squealing and I looked to see a bright yellow Porsche speeding towards me.
"You can't be serious," I breathed out as she stopped before me and I climbed in as she kicked it into gear. I barely had time to put my seatbelt on before I was slammed back in my seat squeezing my eyes shut. My knuckles were white from clutching the seat for dear life and I felt car sick.
I finally opened my eyes when I felt us slow down and saw that we were stuck in traffic. I let out the breath I didn't realize I was holding, I knew we needed to hurry if we were going to save Edward but I felt so sick and lightheaded.
"We are going to get stuck up here so this is your stop, see that clock tower?" she questioned and I nodded, "all you have to do is run your heart out. It is a straight shot to where he will be waiting. Please try not to trip over your feet," I nodded to her as I opened the door to jump out and run but not before I heard Alice.
"She better not be there Rosalie or I swear…" I heard her growl but I was too focused on the task at hand to read too much into it as I ran full force towards the clock tower.
Suddenly I was pushed down. I was dazed for a moment as the people around me looked at me with concern. I quickly stood up shaking my head to regain my focus as I looked around. I turned towards my goal and my heart stopped.
There in the shadows stood Edward and for a moment my heart soared, until I saw a robed figure was holding him back. I stared as the figure seemed to try to talk some sense into him and before I knew it he went limp and seemed to hold onto the figure. As the person, who had to obviously be a vampire, held onto Edward the sleeves and hood on her cloak slid down their shoulders and to the ground. I knew of only one person it could be. Tanya.
The hole in my heart ripped open as he hid his face in her strawberry blonde hair. I turned from the scene and raced back to where I last saw Alice intending to tell her I wanted to just get the hell out of here and forget it ever happened but I couldn't find her.
She wasn't there and in my anguish I started to wander. Hours passed in what felt like minutes as I walked aimlessly not caring where my legs were taking me. I had no concept of time as my feet moved along the pavement, only pain.
I eventually decided to sit since obviously I had nowhere to go. I sat on a brick wall and stared up at the sky, I realized that night had finally fallen.
