Alice
The most beautiful thing we can experience is the mysterious. It is the source of all true art and all science. He to whom this emotion is a stranger, who can no longer pause to wonder and stand rapt in awe, is as good as dead: his eyes are closed. --Albert Einstein
Today started of just like any other normal day well as normal as it gets anyway for a house of 7 Vampires but as I started getting lost in my thoughts something was different. I couldn't shake the feeling that something was going to happen today that would end up changing mine and my families' life. Edward raised his eyebrow at me quizzically and I just shrugged. It's just a feeling Edward haven't had any visions or anything call it a woman's intuition. Edward Chuckle at my thought and I just glared at him. Get out my head dear brother if anything comes up you'll be the first one to know.
I began going into a cleaning frenzy trying to clear my mind of all these strange feelings when I felt Jazz slip his arms around my waist and kissed me gently on each side of my neck. I just leaned back into him sighing to embrace his welcoming distraction as he whispered into my ear "what's gotten my beautiful wife some work up and stressed?" I don't know Jazz I just feel like a change is coming and I cannot tell if it's for the good or the bad. "How about I distract my lovely wife for a few hours by taking her shopping then afterwards we can"… Jasper had trailed off and I didn't need my visions or nor did I need to be a mind reader to know what he was thinking. I just turned around and place my hand unto his face and gotten lost into his beautiful topaz eyes. Just as he was about to kiss me I felt the tugging of a vision coming on.
A woman bent over in pain screaming please save her. She cannot die
"Alice what was that?" I heard Edward asking me in a tone full of worry and I felt Jasper shaking me gently. I heard myself mumbling I don't know, I just don't know but I was still in a daze when suddenly everything just went black.
I've never been scared of anything in my immortal existence but this was just too frightening. I was swimming in a small area and everything was just completely black. I tried looking for a way out but could not find anyplace and my foresight was complete cloudy.
I swear I could hear faint whispers from familiar and unfamiliar voices but nothing seem clear at all. I continued swimming in this sea of blackness looking for a way out or for something that would give me some sort of answers for why this was happening.
It seemed like I was swimming for hours when I heard the sound of a fainting heartbeat so I starting heading towards. When I had gotten closer I saw a baby floating but as I swam to get closer to the baby the scene changed and I was standing in a field with bright lights shining from everywhere. I turned to the look around my surroundings when I heard the cries of a small child coming from the middle of the field.
I stayed still observing this small child. Her hair is a dark shade of brown and long, her head was tucked into her knees and she was swaying back and forth crying. I swear if I could cry I would be crying right know. I did not even know this child but it was like her sadness was my sadness as well.
I slowly approach her not wanting to scare her and once I was closer enough to her I called out to her, Is everything ok little one? But she just kept on sobbing. I continue approach her and sat down right next to her wrapping my arms around her telling her everything was going to be alright. Shortly after holding her the sobs stop but she did not look up and I heard her whisper "are you an angel?" In my mind I thought how I would answer this question because I knew in reality I most definitely far from what the definition of what you'll call an angel but I just wanted to comfort and reach out to this little girl so I just told her yes. My name is Alice, what is your name little one? She took a deep breathe before saying, I do not know what my name is I haven't been born yet. I looked down at the girl puzzled how could she possible not of been born yet she looks like she is at least 6 or 7 years of age. What do you mean you haven't been born yet? Just as she were about to answer me she completely disappeared right before my eyes and as I rose to try and search for her the scene changed before my eyes yet again.
I appeared to be in some sort of room in a hospital and there're many doctor's frantically working over a woman whom was in pain. Her hand is place firmly over her stomach and her heartbeat is extremely erratic, she's yelling, save her please, please save my baby she cannot die. I don't care what happens to me but please save my unborn baby. The doctor is working frantically to lower the lady blood pressure and heartbeat but nothing seems to be working. A man closest to the frail woman grabs her hand whispering to her not to worry everything is going to be fine your strong my love. I stayed in the corner I was in observing everything that was going on and wondering why was I here and what was the purpose of this vision. I've never had visions of a human before and why does this vision feel like everything that's happening is going to affect myself and my family. We've never seen any of these mortals before. I was pulled out my training of the thoughts of by the man that was just comforting the woman shouting to the doctors that his wife just past out can you not do anything. Dear God I cannot no I will not lose my family please god save them I heard him whispering.
Again I do not know why I was witnessing this moment because I did not know these people but I felt a extremely strong pull to this frail woman and her unborn child. I briefly wonder if her unborn child was the baby I swam to and the little girl in the middle of the small field. During the course of me being lost in my thoughts I hadn't even realized I was moving closer to this woman until I rested my hand into her other hand. When suddenly her eyes fluttered open and she's stared in my direction with her warm brown eyes and smiled like she could actually see me. I smiled back at her and started humming on of the songs Edward compose for Esme to her and just continued smiling like she was at peace.
The doctors had induced her labor and I continued to hold her hand as she started giving birth. I could tell that mother and I both knew that she did not have much longer to this life once the child was born and my heart went out to this family. However even though I knew that fact I still could not comprehend why I was actually experiencing all of this with these people and how it was going to affect our lives.
I could feel this woman losing her battle to survive once her heartbeat started to get weaker and weaker which made me hold her hand tighter while placing my other hand on her forehead. She just closed her eyes while smiling and if I were not immortal I definitely would not of heard her when she whispered " I'm ready to let go, I know I do not have much longer I just at least want to hold her and look into her eyes just once before my times up." The dead heart broke and I cried a tearless sob from her words and I just wish there were a way I could save her from all this pain.
With one finally push her baby was out but the baby was not breathing yet which started another frantic cry from the mother screaming why isn't my baby breathing she turn towards me and cried out please help her. I really did not one what I was suppose to do I thought to myself for crying out loud I'm a vampire but I just continued humming one of Edwards composition while working over to where the doctors were the doctors were working to frantically save the little girl's life. I lean over close to the baby ear and whispered your not alone little one you have people here waiting to see you.
I heard her heart beat get stronger and I just looked up to her mother gaving her the warmest smile ever and flittered back over to her side. She mouthed thank you and I simply just nodded my head while humming a song. The mother's voice was so weak when she ask to hold her little baby and again I wish I could cry because my heart just went out to these humans.
As she held her beautiful daughter I could not help but to fall in love with this little girl once my eyes fell upon her. The woman and her husband cooed over their bundle of joy and with her free hand she reached up and place her hand on her husbands cheek and told him " I love you, you know that right? The tears were pooling over in the woman's eyes. "Of course I know that my love, you given your heart and now you've blessed me with a beautiful little girl whom were going to spoil to death everyday of lives." The woman gave him a weak smile and simply responded I'll always be watching over you both. She turned her attention back to her little girl and just sigh "my darling Isabella, always remember how much I love you and that you have a beautiful guardian angel looking over you." I did not miss how her eyes flickered to me when she told her daughter about an guardian angel and all I could do was close my eyes and smile.
Her heart monitor started going off while she shed one single tear as the doctors took her baby from her arms, she turned to look at her husband and said "always remember I love you and I promise we'll meet again my love and take care of my Isabella" He husband was fighting to hold back his tears and kept repeating to his wife do not give up please fight, please fight, your strong my love, I need you my love and Isabella is going to need you more. I gentle took the woman's hand into my own and start humming again. She gave her husband a weak smile, then her eyes averted my direction and saying "promise me you'll look over her and keep her safe?" I did not know how to answer her because I knew that this was more than likely a promise I couldn't keep. Her husband thinking she was talking to him said "of course i'll keep her safe." The woman's eyes were fulled with so much pain and sorrow when she ask again for me to promise her. I felt a faint pressure in the hand which her hand was in and she whispered so low that only I could hear her saying "Alice promise you'll look after her." Shock registered on my face when she called out my name and I wanted to know how she knew my name, whats my connection to them, how is she the only one who could see me and so much more but time was against us. I heard her heartbeat fading to I just lean down kissing her forehead and whispered I promise to look after your Isabella. I felt so sad after I spoken those words because I knew it was an extremely hard promise to keep. With her dying breathe she whispered "Thank You Alice."
I slowly backed away from the woman and stopped at the bassinett the baby was in and smiled at the beautiful little girl. I gently kissed her forehead and told her i'll try my hardest to keep my promise but you'll never have to worry about anything because you'll have many people that love Isabella, I should know because I'm one of those people already.
The scene before me started fading and I heard familiar voices calling my name, "Alice, Alice please wake up your scaring us love." Jazz, I mumbled still a bit out of it but I knew his scent and touch anywhere. "Oh thank goodness your alright Alice you nearly gave all of us a heart attack and you know thats not even possible" I hugged Jasper tightly while I tried to comprehend everything that just happened. I turned my head to face the rest of my family who all looked between worried, happy, relieved and confused to see that I was finally "awake" or whatever you'll call that just happen to me. I snuggled closer to Jasper and spoke to the rest of the family that i'm ok just really confused about what just happen. Thank goodness I did not have to explain what was happen because Edward gather it all from my thoughts and explained it to the others while I try to process it all. As everyone was theorizing what that could possibly mean I looked out towards the window expecting it to still be daylight but as I glance I thought to myself interesting it's twilight. Alice, I turned towards Edward once he call my name and I knew what he was going to ask even before the words even left his mouth "What's so interesting about twilight?" It's the Safest time of day for us, but also the saddest...... (a/n quote from twilight)
