A/N: My first Twilight FF! I've done a couple Harry Potter ones, but I've been a devoted follower of reading Twilight ones for a while now. I'm obsessed and hooked, and I had the idea for this RP for a while ago, but I got inspiration for it recently and I just sat down and wrote the whole first chapter out. I pretty much have it planned out in my head, and it should get more exciting once I get into later chapters. If you have any questions about the RP, please feel free to message me, or ask in a review, and I'll answer it in the next chapter, as always. And, please review! Let me know what you think and if it's worth continuing! Now, may I present, 'Across the Universe.'
Disclaimer: I own nothing! Stephenie Meyer is the genius behind this.
Across the Universe
Chapter 1: I've Got A Feeling
Bella's topaz eyes were fixed on Edward as they laid on their bed together, their arms intertwined with each other, near impossible to find where one of them began, and the other finished. They had been married for five years. Five wonderful, glorious, difficult, happy years. Being together that long had made Bella and Edward one person, Edward not even needing to read her mind to know what she was thinking. They were meant to be together, and after everything they had been through together, they believed that nothing could tear them apart.
The transformation was painful, just as Bella was expecting, but it was worth it. She could now look at Edward and feel like his equal, someone deserving of his love and the last name Cullen. Occasionally, she could see a flicker of guilt in Edward's eye every now and then, ashamed from taking her humanity. But she assured him that this is what she wanted, and she would never regret her decision. She had to admit, there were some things she missed from her human life, like sleeping, and her family, but in the end, all those sacrifices were worth it for the bliss she experienced everyday.
But, something was wrong today, Bella knew that much. Edward was staring hard at their bedroom wall, the same wall they shared with Alice and Jasper. Usually Edward had avoided even glancing at that wall at all costs, considering he might hear particularly inappropriate thoughts coming from the lovers. Bella and Edward were both grateful when they were given a room on the third story, and Rosalie and Emmett were on the second, a full floor to separate the noise of their passions as well.
"Edward…what's wrong?" Bella asked, her voice calm and concerned, resting her hand on his cheek. His skin no longer felt frigid to her like it once had years ago. It felt luke warm now with her own skin temperature, especially since they just went hunting yesterday, which always made Edward's face flush ever so slightly, which was just noticeable to her.
He was shaken from his deep concentration and his eyes focused upon his wife, immediately softening. "Nothing you need to worry about," he said, kissing the top of her head, but Bella's brow scrunched in frustration, taking an unnecessary deep breath.
"Edward…" she said, her voice taking on a more authoritative and strict voice. "I know you're lying to me," Bella said sternly, looking him hard in the eye. She hated when he tried keeping her in the dark. He did it when she was a human, and even as a vampire, he would omit certain thoughts or events to 'protect' her, but she was indestructible now. She didn't even trip over flat surfaces anymore. There was nothing to he needed to protect her from.
He gave a defeated sigh. A smug smile grew on Bella's face. He knew this was a losing battle once she demanded the knowledge. "It's Alice…" he said, trailing off, looking back at the wall.
Bella's eyes widened. Alice? What could be wrong with her? Alice, her sister, best friend…the worst case scenarios began to fill her mind, her eyes darting around the room worriedly. Edward, seeing what his words had done, had distracted her with a tender kiss.
"Bella, don't jump to the worst conclusions," he muttered, giving her his best crooked smile. Bella relented. He knew just how to make her melt.
"Then what's wrong?" Bella asked, a bit calmer, surprisingly with out the help of Jasper.
Edward took a hesitant breath before continuing. "She's in her bedroom, with Jasper. Her visions…they've stopped coming," he said. "Recently, with in the past ten minutes. She was looking for tomorrow's weather, to see if we should bother getting prepared for school in case it was sunny…and nothing," he said, his voice trailing off to a whisper. Bella's breath hitched. The only reason Alice's visions have stopped working in the past was because of the werewolves.
"Do you think…they are coming after us?" Bella asked, her head resting on his chest, needing to be close to him. She didn't need to explain who they were. The werewolves. Jacob. Sam. Quil. Embry. The last she had heard from Jacob was on her wedding day, and it wasn't a pleasant encounter. He had warned her that if she was going to be changed, the treaty would be broken and they would come after them. That night the Cullens had to flee Forks, and by the end of the week, somewhere in Denali, Bella became a vampire.
Edward shook his head, stroking her hair softly. "No, it's not like that. It's not that everything had disappeared temporarily, like with the dogs. This is different. It's as if everything has just vanished completely, like there is no future to see," he said, his grip on Bella tightening slightly.
Bella stopped breathing for a moment, processing what he just told her. She buried her face into his shirt, savoring the moment. A feeling a dread began to fill her, a sudden urgency to be with Edward with the arrival of this information.
"We need to alert Carlisle," Edward muttered to her. "Alice is trying to sort things out in her mind, and Jasper's too focused on trying to keep her calm to get anyone," he said, and Bella nodded, understanding. Alice has always operated in a different world from the rest of them, worrying more about the future than the present, but now Alice was lost in her own mind. Jasper's worry was emitting through the whole household strongly, affecting everyone, and making them even more on edge. Bella was sure that Rosalie and Emmett were rather confused downstairs, wondering why they suddenly felt worry and concern in such strong doses.
"All right," Bella sighed reluctantly, removing herself from the bed with Edward. With out warning, Edward picked Bella up bridal style, like he did when she was human. She giggled slightly, despite herself, and leaned up and kissed him lightly. "I love you," she whispered against his lips, a smile crawling on to his face. He kissed her back and Bella slinked her arms around his neck as he ran at vampire speed down the stairs and to Carlisle's study, where he was currently in the middle of a conversation with Esme.
"Carlisle," Edward said, bursting through the door with out knocking. Esme and Carlisle's heads immediately snapped towards him, curious expressions on their faces, mixed with confusion. "There's a problem," Edward said, sitting Bella down in the chair in front of the desk.
No sooner had Edward spoken those words though did they hear a scream, from no other than Alice. Bella's eyes widened and she raced out of the office, the rest of the family right with her, and soon all of them, including Rosalie and Emmett, were in Alice and Jasper's bedroom, watching as Alice's stiff body was falling to the ground, being caught by Jasper, who looked as though his heart had been torn from his body. The pain in his eyes was too unbearable.
The second that Jasper had caught Alice's small body though, the world around Bella begin to swirl and fade. Her vision started getting hazy, and she tried reaching out for Edward, even calling his name. She thought she heard him returning the call, but the sounds were so muffled that she couldn't be sure. Then, she felt as though someone pummeled their arm through her stomach, a loud yelp emitting her lips, before the whole world went black, and she knew no more.
