A/N: This is my first Twilight fanfiction so I would really like your opinion on how you like it. I will try to update as much as I can, but I'm limited to the family computer so it might a while between updates.
This is a Alice/Bella fic. If you don't like don't read.
Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight. P.S. this is the disclaimer for the whole story because knowing me I will forget.
Prologue
Bella's POV
"Remarkable. She confounds us all. So, what do we do with her now?" Aro asks amused by my 'abilities'.
"You already know what you are gonna do with her, Aro," Marcus says with a bored tone.
"She knows too much. She is a liability," Caius points out.
"Hmm. That's true," Aro concedes, "Felix?"
Out of the corner of my eye I see a blur move towards me. Next thing I know I'm being pushed out of the way and Edward is colliding with another vampire who I can only assume is Felix. Edward slams him to the ground and I see Alice start to rush towards Edward but she is grabbed by Demitri before she can get anywhere. Felix pushes Edward into the air and grabs him by the neck, slams him to the ground, and holds him down. Felix then stands again and begins to make his way towards me. Edward jumps up again and jumps a Felix, but he is slammed to the wall. Felix grabs Edward again and all I see is a blur as they fight with each other. Felix slams Edward to the stairs then picks him up and holds his neck as if to pull his head off. I panic.
"Please! NO! Please! Please! Kill me! Kill me! Not him!" I beg.
Aro holds up his hand to stop Felix and gives me a strange look. He slowly begins to make his way towards me. "How extraordinary, you would give your life to for someone like us? A vampire. A soulless monster," he asks.
"You don't know a thing about his soul," I says somewhat infuriated that he would say that Edward had no soul.
He says something in a language that I don't understand. Then he looks toward Edward and says, "Sadness. It's a shame that you don't plan on giving her immortality."
He moves forward to kill me when Alice calls out, "Wait! Bella will be one of us. I've seen it. I'll change her myself."
She steps forward and gives him her hand. They stand with him holding her hand for a moment then he speaks, "Mesmerizing. To see what you see before it has happened," he steps toward me, "Your gift will make for an intriguing immortal, Isabella. Go now, make your preparations."
"Let us be done with this. Our meal will arrive at any moment. Thank you for your visit" Marcus says.
"We will return the favor. We would advise that you follow through on your promise. We do not give second chances," Caius warns.
"Goodbye my young friends," Aro says to us as the door closes behind us.
Edward takes my hand and we walk out silently. Edward looks furious. Silently we get into the car Alice stole. Edward driving, Alice in the passenger side, and me in back. Edward grips the steering wheel and is the first to speak.
"Alice, how could you bring her here she could have been killed or worse," Edward says.
"Her being here is just as mush your fault as it is mine, Edward. What the hell were you thinking? Can you imagine what this would have done to Esme? Or were you so selfish that you didn't care? Besides you know how she is once she sets her mind to something it is impossible to change it," Alice told him.
"She is in the back seat and would appreciate not being talked about like she's not here," I says and they turned and looked at me as if they had forgotten I was present.
Edward turned away and looked back at the road and says, "I apologize, Bella, but the fact still remains that Alice should not have brought you here."
"I made Alice bring me. It was my choice," I told him.
"A choice I shouldn't have let you make. He's right, but it was a rash decision. I didn't have time to argue for her to stay behind because someone was being selfish and stupid," Alice says turning to glare at Edward.
We pulled into the airport parking lot and got out of the car. When we got inside Edward turned to Alice and spoke again. "We need to get Bella a ticket back home so that we can return to the family."
"Your leaving me, again?" I say looking at Alice.
"No, sweetie, of course I'm not," she says hugging me.
"Yes we are. She can never have a normal life with us around, what happened here today proves it," Edward tells her.
"She won't have a normal life without us. You didn't she how she was without us. She was almost catatonic. Look!" Alice argues.
Apparently he must have seen the visions that Alice had been having about me because he visibly cringed then his face went back stony as he says, "She will get over it."
"She'll get over it, huh. We both know how she gets over things. She turned into a freaking adrenaline junkie. She almost killed herself, Edward. She involved herself with those mutts," Alice tells him.
"Them better than us," he says shaking with anger.
"Are you crazy, Edward? They are young werewolves. You know what can happen if they get upset, and how easily they can lose their temper and lose control. You saw what that one did to his fiancé," Alice says.
"At least she won't have to worry about them biting her and draining her dry," he told her still shaking.
"Look, Edward, I know I would never hurt her. I don't care what you and the rest of the family say or do, but I'm staying with her," Alice says.
"You're not thinking of what's best for her!" Edward almost yelled.
"I am and this is not it!" Alice says back just as loud.
"That's not your decision to make!" Edward says.
"You're right. It's not my decision, but it's not yours either. It's Bella's, and that's who is gonna make this decision," Alice says.
"She has no sense of self preservation!" Edward says.
"She is right here and she knows what she wants," I finally cut in. The whole time they had been arguing I had been listening and thinking the whole time. I made my decision right then.
"Bella-"Edward started.
"No, Edward, I've made my decision. Alice, I would love for you to stay with me," Alice smiled at me and tried to hug me. I held out my hand to stop her, "Please let me finish. I would love for you to stay with me, but I think it's best if you go home with Edward and your family."
"Bella, no," Alice says looking hurt.
"No, Alice, like you says 'it's her decision to make' and she has obviously decided," Edward says looking smug.
Alice glared at Edward and if looks could kill his heart would have stopped a second time. She stepped towards him and I grabbed her arm and says, 'Edward you go get our plane tickets, I have to talk to Alice."
He walked away and I turned to Alice. She looked like she wanted to cry and says, "Why don't you want me to stay with you?"
"Because Alice I saw the way you and Edward were arguing about this. I would want nothing more than to have you with me, but not at the expense of your family. You and Edward used to be so close. I've never seen you fight like that and it's because of me. Then you are talking about turning your back on the family that you've been with for more than 50 years-" I responded.
"I never says anything about turning my back on them," Alice cut in.
"Saying you don't care about their opinions is all the same. I'm not gonna be the one to cause a rift in your family. Please, Alice, if you care about me at all you would go home. It would kill me to know that I tore you guys apart," I says.
"Typical Bella, always putting everyone else's happiness above her own," Alice says laughing her musical laugh.
"That's me, completely selfless," I says laughing along with her.
"So, what are you gonna do?" she asks me suddenly getting extremely serious.
"It's probably best if you don't know," I say with a small smile.
She looks at me curiously when her eyes glaze over. She must be having a vision. She comes out of it and narrows her eyes at me and says, "Bella your future disappears as soon as you get off the plane. Tell me you aren't planning anything drastic."
"Oh no, Alice. I'm not suicidal. I just thought it was best that when I got back home if I stayed in La Push for a while," I say.
"You're going to hang out with a bunch of young werewolves and you're not suicidal," Alice says rolling her eyes.
"It's the only way that I can avoid memories of you guys. It's just until I feel better about you guys leaving," I tell her.
"Be careful, Bella," Alice tells me.
"I will I promise," I respond her.
She hugs me and I buried my face into her hair. She pulls back, looks at me, and kisses me on the lips. I was in total shock.
"I love you, Isabella Marie Swan," she says and she turns and walks away quickly almost knocking down Edward in her hast.
Edward comes to me and gives me my ticket. He told me that his and Alice's plane was boarding and they had to leave now. He gives me a quick hug and walks away. I'm still in a bit shocked at the kiss. I find myself wandering to a seat and sitting. Then the realization comes to me. I just let the woman of my dreams walk out on me. Hell, I told her to walk out on me.
"I love you, too, Mary Alice Brandon Cullen," I say to myself and I feel the tears coming.
