A/N: I own nothing, the Twilight series is all Stephenie's. R&R. I like this story. I dreamt it just like I did for the last one I wrote.
APOV: I giggled. Bella looked great. She stood and whirled around to look in the mirror. "Alice, why do we have to go through this every time you catch me without Edward for protection?"
"Aw, Bella, you look beautiful!"
She smiled half-heartedly. "I guess. Thanks, Alice."
Suddenly, I felt my eyes glaze over. Bella stood silently beside me, waiting for the vision to end.
We're… hunting? An animal? No, not an animal. A vampire. I can tell, though I don't know how. Edward is growling furiously. Everyone else is tense. I'm not with them. Jasper is. He's… sad? And angry, too. I can't figure out what's happening. Bella's not there, either. That would explain Edward's growling. She must have gotten lost. Or captured. But where am I? Rose sniffs suddenly and calls out to the others. "That way, moving fast." Edward growls. "They want to hurt them, but they won't let me know how." He plummets ahead of the others, yelling Bella's name. Jasper whispers under his breath. "Alice…."
My eyes fluttered open. "Alice? What's wrong?" It was Bella. I must have looked upset.
"I don't know. Not yet, anyway. All I know is something will happen to you and me, and I don't know what." Her eyes widened.
"I-I have to go tell Edward and Carlisle." I said, actually stuttering. The vision had upset me. Who were "they?" What had happened to us, and how dire was the situation? When was this going to happen, and by what means? A million questions circled my head as I plummeted into Carlisle's study.
"Carlisle?! I just saw something, and I don't know what it is, just that it's not good." Carlisle turned to meet me.
"Calm down, Alice. What did you see?" I quickly explained to him what I had seen, and I was so upset that I didn't notice Edward and Bella enter the room. It was only when I finished and he growled sharply that I realized he'd heard the whole story. Carlisle looked surprised, which was odd for him. But then, it was unusual for me to get visions that I couldn't comprehend.
Edward growled again. "What are we going to do? It must have been a decision made just now by someone outside of the family that gave you the vision." He looked wildly at Carlisle. I wondered if he was worried about Bella or me. I wasn't concerned for myself. I was afraid for Jasper. Edward looked at me. "To answer your question, I am concerned mostly for Bella, but I do fear for you. Are you sure that no one said anything about who it was?"
"Nothing. I don't understand."
Carlisle spoke. "Try to keep watch for more information, both of you. Until we know more, all we can do is be extra cautious and hope for more information." Edward opened his mouth as if he was going to say something, but he thought twice and shut it again. I nodded and quickly ran from the room, yelling for Jasper. He stepped out of his room, eyes full of concern. "Yes, Alice? What's wrong?"
I ran into his arms, shaking with fear. "Jasper, I need to tell you something. I'm afraid."
He grabbed me and led me into the room, where I told him the same thing I'd told the others. He sent me calming waves of emotion, and then swept me up in a loving embrace. I sighed and felt the trembling fade. "I won't let anything happen to you. I promise."
"I believe you."
"That's good."
"Watch Edward if we do get caught. Don't let him do anything stupid."
"I'll do what I can." He laughed lightly. I joined in.
I'm lying on a bed of ferns, blood pouring from my wrist. I stare at it, confused. Jasper leans over me, smiling slightly. "It's okay, it's okay. You'll be alright. I've got you." Edward approaches, holding the limp form of Bella in his arms. I stand, swaying slightly, and try to run to them, tripping a bit as I go. She's breathing, but only very lightly. She has a deep gash in her throat. Unconscious. I speak, my voice saturated with sadness, fear, anger, frustration, concern. "Is she okay? What did they do to her?" He sobs tearlessly, brokenly. "The large male… bit her."
I opened my eyes, gasping. "Bella!"
"What is it?! What did you see? Alice, are you okay?"
"No, I have to get to Bella. We have to save her…." I pulled away from Jasper, calling Edward in my mind, over and over. He appeared at the door, lips pulled back over his teeth. "I. Will. Kill. Them. Whoever they are, I will rip them to shreds before that happens."
