"Its only for a day."
I glance over angrily at Edward whos smiling at me from behind the wheel.
"Another entire day with Alice. I don't want to have to play dress up for a whole twenty four hours."
He chuckles,
"She knows that you have to sleep Bella."
I sigh and slouch in my seat of the car.
"You really couldn't of just left me with Charlie."
"I would prefer it if..."
"You just don't want me running of to see Jacob" I snap angrily.
He doesn't answer, just stares straight ahead. But I know I'm right. Although he has nothing to worry about, I haven't seen or talked to Jacob since we got back from Italy. We pull into the Cullens driveway and I see Emmett, Jasper, and Rosalie waiting anxiously for Edward. They're all going hunting for the day, meaning Alice had volunteered to spend the entire day with me. I groaned as I stepped out of the car. Edward smiles and then leans forward to whisper something in my ear.
"Better than spending the entire day with Rosalie."
I glance over to where his siblings are standing. Emmett waves eagerly to me, and Jasper gives a polite nod. Rosalie doesn't stop glaring at me.
I follow Edward up the steps to the house and in an instant Alice is skipping down the steps to greet us. She wraps me in an enthusiastic hug, and I glare at Edward.
"Hi Alice."
"Bella! Its been way too long. Edward over here never seems to bring you around anymore."
Edward smiles apologetically at her, and bends down to kiss me on the cheek.
"I'll be back soon." he whispers softly
I nod. Soon isn't soon enough. I see him walk over to his family and then they are gone in an instant. I sigh inwardly and turn to face Alice. I'm suddenly startled. The usual carefree look Alice was just wearing a minute ago has now been completely swept off her face. She stares worriedly at me and I can't imagine what it is. Confused, I glance behind me, but Alice pulls me forward and lifts me up in her arms sprinting towards the garage. Before I can even process whats going on, I'm in her car, and she is behind the wheel, driving even faster than Edward normally does.
"Alice..."
My confused voice is cut off by her own.
"I had a vision."
I'm stunned. Not by the fact that she had a vision, but by how she is reacting to it. Why not tell Edward of it? He most certainly didn't know. He thought we were having a girls day, and instead we're speeding down the highway at over a hundred miles per hour.
"Of what?" I choke out.
"It doesn't matter."
"Of course it matters Alice! You've practically kidnapped me!"
She sighs in annoyance.
"You'll see when we get there. I can't tell you now or you'll never believe me."
"When we get where exactly?" I shout exasperated.
She looks over at me, and I can tell by the expression on her face that I'm not going to be happy with her reply. She's quiet for a moment and I press further back into my seat, wishing she would keep her eyes on the road instead of staring at me. After what seems like hours she finally answers.
"Volterra."
My heart stops beating for a moment and my stomach drops. I can't go back there. The screams of the humans the Volturi drank from still ring in my ears, the pained look on Edwards face as Jane tortured him still haunts my memories, and I can still feel Aros cold hand clutching mine. I can't go back.
"Stop the car."
"Bella..."
"Stop! I will jump out of this car if you don't turn around."
"Please Bella just listen."
"To what? You didn't give me a chance to listen you dragged me in this car. Does Edward even know? I can't think of any reason you would possibly want to go back there and take me with you. You can't just kindnap people like this Alice!"
"Please you're overreacting."
"What!?" I scream.
"A vision. I said I had a vision, so you just need to trust me on this. Please."
She looks at me desperately and for some reason I have an urge to trust her. I don't know why, and the idea of trusting her is insane, but I want to. I just stare back at her and I slowly feel myself nod. She gives a small smile and just like that I have agreed to do the most stupid insane thing anyone in my situation could possibly do. And I'm terrified because I know that I'm going to have to pay for it.
