My first fan fiction ..

I do not own any of these characters ..unfortunately ! Stephenie Meyer does

A strong wave of de ja vu came crashing down on me . Alice's careful fingers had only slipped one other time in the 10 or so years I had known her. The horrible memory weaved its way into my mind. Of course I had tried to forget it, but vampires never forget. I had learned that much in my time as an immortal. Memories lasted for eternity –even the bad ones. This memory was fresh in my mind. Alice dropping a vase when she had the vision of the Volturi returning. The blank look that entered her eyes. The blank look in Edwards eyes. It was one of my worst memories from my new life.

Now the memory was repeating itself. Alice just dropped the new shoes she had bought, and even though they didn't shatter to pieces like the vase, it was still obvious something was wrong. I squeezed Edwards hand tightly and was shocked to feel that his hand was shaking the tiniest bit. That worried me. Could it really be that bad. It couldn't be worse than last time. No, last time we were certain we were going to die there couldn't be anything worse than that. Alice's vision was over now. I could tell because she was staring at Jasper, not into space, but the dead look was still in her eyes. Jasper's eyes were equally as dead. Maybe her emotions had clued him in on how bad the future was.

I quickly studied Edwards face, praying that his eyes weren't as empty. I couldn't bare to see Edward in pain. Edward looked down at me and his eyes weren't empty. They were tortured. They seemed to burn right through my skull and if he could cry, tears would be streaming down his face.

This caused me the most pain I had ever endured. Worse than when he left, worse than my transformation. He looked like he had been tortured by Jane for a whole day nonstop, except somehow more emotional, more intense. A picture of the angelic Jane hovered in my head. Her face was pulled into a dangerous grin, but I shouldn't be afraid of Jane. She couldn't hurt me. So why did that picture stay in my mind? I had a feeling that I was missing something quite obvious, but pushed all those thoughts out of my head.

I placed my hands on each side of Edward's face and let my shield fade away. I was getting much better at this. Whats wrong? I thought hoping that the pain I was feeling for him wouldn't show through my thoughts. Of course it did.

"You're so melodramatic love," he mumbled into my ear. If I wasn't so worried I would have rolled my eyes to that, but right now was not the time. I stared at Edward waiting for an answer. He glanced at me for a second and then spoke to everyone. "They're coming," he announced only slightly hiding the horror in his voice, "The Volturi, they're coming. Tomorrow. Now don't blame Alice, she was uhm preoccupied," he said in a way that made me think he fully blamed Alice.

"I wasn't expecting them to come so soon," Alice defended. "I assumed that they would wait a century or two, you know to get some new members of the Guard and everything. I wasn't watching them and they never made the decision of the actual date until today. I was paying attention to something else and how was I to know that...," she cut off mid sentence. She was in too much pain to continue.

"They've already got to the Romanian, Irish and Egyption covens, and all our nomad friends in Europe. We'll be next and then the Denali coven, then probably the nomads here, then the Amazon coven," Edward explained.

If it were possible for a vampire to faint I'm sure Esme would have at that moment. She dropped down to her knees and put her face in her hands. Carlisle look business-like as usual, but I could see the shock and sadness in his eyes as he tried to comfort Esme. I felt the shock and horror take over my body and I leaned into Edward's side for support. I saw Emmett out of the corner of my eye. He didn't look worried at all. Actually I could see the excitment light up his face. Rose was sitting on the floor in front of the sofa Emmett had sprawled himself on. Her face was expressionless for the most part, but I could see that she was on the edge of screaming at someone for being so stupid. Maybe she was screaming at Edward in her mind right now. I hugged my arm around his waist to try to comfort him.

Then another fear made it's way into my mind.

"Nessie...," I whispered.

Everyone's eyes flickered to my face for half a second and then they were panicing. Carlisle flew up the stairs and returned with a phone in his hand. He threw it to Edward who caught it easily and dialed a number.

Jacob and Nessie were visiting La Push for the weekend and if we didn't warn them they wouldn't have a chance to get away. If we could warn them and somehow take down Demetri then they would be safe.

"Hello, Jacob?" Edward said, worry visible in his eyes. "The Volturi's coming back Jacob. No, no it's not Alice's fault they just made the decision today and they're coming tomorrow. NO. You CANNOT come here Jacob Black! You have to get away from here. I don't care if you have to go to Antarctica, keep Renesmee safe! And try not to tell her too much. She'd want to come back just as much if not more than you do and I know you wouldn't want her to die. Yes, of course there's no hope Jacob! Yes, tell her I love her and I'll miss her. I'll miss you too ," he said trembling.

He handed the phone to me before he hung up. I wasn't sure I could stay coherent while I spoke, but I would try, for Jacob, for Renesmee. "Hello," I breathed.

"Bella!" Jacob cried, tears in his voice.

"I'm fine Jake, you just keep yourself and Nessie safe, okay?!" I said, hysteria creeping into my voice.

"I love you," he said solemnly. And it was true, but he didn't love me romanticly anymore. He loved Nessie that way now. He loved me like a best friend, like a sister and that was more healthy for both of us.

"I love you too," I said and hung up.
