Now Presenting… A Hidden Past

Chapter 1. Back to Forks

My sweet delusion began screaming at me, begging me to stop. I looked over the edge of the cliff only to jump back in shock. The ocean was in a torrent, the waves were deadly, but that was not what caught my eye. In the water a bright orange flame danced.

I thought over this as the wind and rain continued to pelt me, sending involuntary shivers down my spine. That flame…that flame, it was so… familiar. It reminded me, of fire. Suddenly it all came back to me. My delusional Edward told me to back away from the cliff and go home to Charlie.

Edward…vampires…VICTORIA! Suddenly it all clicked, but I could feel no motive to run from her, even though I knew how close she was to me. The time I took thinking his name had crushed me. I didn't care who was there,, I didn't feel anything but the sharp stabbing pain as all of my memories of Edward filled me up and spilled out.

My tears flowed almost invisibly as the wind and rain whipped them away. I dropped onto my knees from the crippling pain that was coursing through me. I fell onto my stomach, as misery consumed me. I vaguely remembered Jacob's frantic voice as he asked me what had happened.

I just stared up at him with unseeing eyes, "Take me home." I cried, unable to or willing myself to rid the pain from my voice. I didn't have enough energy to wrap my arms around myself, and soon I found black dots in front of my eyes.

Then, it was over.

-----page break-----

I woke up to find myself completely drenched in water and lying on the couch. Charlie was standing by me, looking at me hesitantly. "Bella! Thank god, I was so worried, Jacob brought you home soaking wet and said that he found you on the edge of a cliff…well I thought...you…might have…"

I gestured for him to continue, "BeentryingtokillyoursefoverEdward!" he rushed in one breath.

Well I wasn't expecting that. My mouth dropped open, "Dad, I would never…I was just…appreciating the view."

"Good, good, are you ok, how do you feel? Why were you crying?" Charlie rushed out in one breath.

There was no way I would tell him the real reason of my hearing voices escapade. "I-I was doing some thinking, and my thoughts wandered, to painful avenues." I replied weakly hoping he would get the idea.

"Oh." Charlie replied with and apologetic smile.

"I-I really need to go take a shower dad." He smiled at me, with a hint of concern in his eyes, and nodded.

I trudged up the stairs, stripping out of my cold wet clothes and basking in the hot water of the shower. I stayed in the shower until the hot water an out. I quickly wrapped myself in my towel and changed into my p.j.'s.

I walked into my room and strode across the room to my window. I stroked the glass; it was such a precious memory, and an annoying reminder. I sighed stepping away. As I backed up I heard a loud squeak come from my floor.

I looked down, the floorboard I was standing on it looked…odd. I examined the pattern of the wood closer. It was warped. I carefully put my fingers on the edge of the board. It moved under my slight touch.

I don't know why but I was compelled to lift it up. I lifted the boad only to find the shock of my life.

APOV:

I had been getting strange visions of Bella lately. Motorcycles, strange men, and nothingness. Edward had told me not to watch her future, but I couldn't help it, I was too attuned to her mind.

Ah. Poor Edward. He had been doing so horribly and he kept changing his mind on whether or not to visit Bella to see if she's happy or not. I know that his resolve is weakening every day. If this doesn't stop, it will eat him alive!

I see that eventually we will return to Forks. I wonder how Bella reacted to us leaving. I couldn't seem to find her face.

Suddenly a tingling feeling spread from my toes up to my head, once it reached my head I was engulfed by a vision.

Bella was standing at the edge of a humongous cliff. I instantly feared for her safety and tried to call out to her but as always nothing came out. I watched her inch nearer to the edge. I didn't want to see this. Instead of looking scared Bella seemed overjoyed. Bella's movements were slow and deliberate. She was now on the balls of her toes about to jump when she looked off the edge.

Whatever she saw scared her and she immediately backed down. Meanwhile a mighty storm whipped around her. She fell to her knees, the most pain I have ever seen on a humans face was plastered against hers. She cried out one word that made my dead heart ache, "Edward." I saw her collapse completely with the misery she was feeling as her body was wracked with sobs that were washed and whipped away by the storm. Suddenly I was falling upwards and I was back in my own body.

As I came back to the present I instantly dialed Edward. As usual no answer, I just kept calling until I heard his annoyed voice, "What Alice!" By now I was sobbing uncontrollably, without tears.

"A-Alice, what's wrong?" his voice was layered with concern.

"I-It's B-Bella!" I cried out, I had to calm myself down or I couldn't tell him.

"What! What is it, I told you not to look into her future!"

"I couldn't help it Edward!" I snapped at him.

"I can't believe you left her Edward; you should see what you've done to her."

"What!" he shouted desperately.

I knew he could just faintly pick up the tenor of my mind over the phone so I showed him the vision, even though it tore me up to repeat it.

"Alice, she's supposed to be better! I am a monster! I am going to check on her." He trailed off as I got another vision.

Edward had just arrived at our house in Forks, "I will just make sure that Alice is wrong and then I will leave, she will never even know I was here, but the look in her eyes..." he trailed off muttering to himself as he walked into the house. I did not miss the utter misery that was plain as day across his face.

"Alice…Alice!" Edward repeated angrily into the phone.

"Go Edward." I whispered before hanging up. His mind was set; he was going to se Bella.
