Disclaimer: I don't own the masterpiece of Twilight. So sad

Preface

I was driving home with my mother from the movies. This was as happy as I had been since Edward had left me. We stopped at red light, laughing as we sang along to some random song. She held my hand. The light turned green. We drove forward, never expecting what would happen next. There was a glint of headlights and suddenly, my mother screamed. It was all a blur after that. Glass, blood, and crunched metal. A shower of falling glass was the last thing I saw before I would never see again.


I woke up quickly from the nightmare. Of course, it was still black when I opened my eyes. "Alice?" I murmured. A cup was tossed into my hands. I sipped it wearily, it was coffee.

"Are you sure you can do this?" Alice asked me cautiously. I nodded.

"I may be blind, but somehow, I have an amazing sense of direction." I grinned, on a more serious note, I said, " But, when we get near. . .him, could you block your mind from my. . .blindness?"

" Of course, if you want." She replied softly.

I heard and felt the car stop. " We're here." Alice said flatly, " Get out of the car, take two steps right and then run straight for about fifteen paces. You'll hit a fountain then, go around it and run in a line. You should hit the alley and Edward should snap out of it." She said this in about two seconds, but it was waaayyy easier to understand than Braille. I jumped out of the car and followed her directions. As I ran toward the fountain, I brushed against some people. What a big crowd. I hit the fountain with the tip of my shoe and ignored Alice's directions to go around. I leaped over the edge of the fountain, grimacing as the cold water bit into my skin. I splashed around and jumped over the next edge. I ran in a line, "Edward! Please, don't do it! Edward!" I cried out. I pushed through a few bodies and stretched a hand out. I hit a wall. Damn! Had I missed one of Alice's directions? I frantically swept my hand over the wall. My hand slipped off the wall and onto a cold chest.

My breath caught as I slowly pushed on the chest. The person stepped back into the alley. I pushed the person a few more steps before I stopped. My hands rose from the chest to the neck. They continued their way to the face. I traced their eyes, closed by eyelids. I swept over their nose and finally on to their lips. I traced the lips over and over, feeling the familiar texture. I lastly raised my hands to their hair. It was messy and had another familiar texture. My hands dropped to my sides. This was Edward Cullen.

"Edward." I said softly, "Open your eyes. Please, for me. I'm alive and here. Open your eyes and look at me." I felt him grip my arms. His breath mingled with mine. He kissed my throat and I froze.

" I really am dead." He whispered, " This must be hell. I don't care, I'll take it." I pulled away. I pushed him further into the alley.

" Hurry, Edward. We need to leave before the Volturi come!" I begged. This seemed to arouse him. I felt him straighten up.

" She's right Edward." A tinkling voice came from the front of the alley. I turned, almost bouncing for joy.

"Alice!" I squeaked. She skipped near me and I frowned. I heard more than one pair of feet. " Alice, who's with you?"

" Some of the guard of the Volturi." Edward said flatly. I sighed. Alice took my arm and led me along.

"Follow us." An unfamiliar voice barked. I could tell it was female. We walked and walked until Alice whispered in my ear, " We're coming up to a hole where we have to jump in. I'll drop you down, and Edward will catch you." I nodded slowly. Seconds later we stopped. Alice gripped my wrists and led me to an area. I slid down and she dangled me in a hole. I bit my lip and squeezed my eyes shut out of habit. Then she dropped me.

Wind whipped at my hair as I fell fast. I was glad I had bit my lip; if I hadn't, I probably would've screamed. Cold arms caught me and set me on my feet. I opened my eyes and blinked a few times. Edward never let go of me as he led me into the unknown. I wrapped my arms around his waist. It felt normal, like this was how it was supposed to be. Alice was suddenly at my side, helping me as I stumbled along. There were some things on the floor that were big and easy to trip over. Why didn't they think of the blind when they were building this place?

Well? How'd you like it? I just got a new laptop, so I will be able to update more often! : )

R&R!!! Please!
