…three weeks earlier.

(one week before he is taken)

"Alice?" Jasper asked "Alice?" He really sounded concerned. I looked up at him. "Alice what did you see? You looked like you were in pain. Are you all right?"

"I'm ok." I answered.

"Alice what did you see?" he asked again.

"You." I said. I couldn't speak. What I saw was horrible. I stroked his face lightly with my finger tips.

"Alice please, you're scaring me."

"I saw you, three weeks from now. In a week's time someone will take you…and two weeks after that we'll find you." I couldn't manage to make my voice more than a whisper.

At that exact moment Edward and Bella came running down stairs. "Edward what's going on?" Bella asked.

"Alice had a vision." he answered. Then he turned to me "Oh god Alice. I can't even imagine…" …if he'd seen that about Bella. Of course he would be thinking about his precious Bella. He always is.

"What did you see?" Bella asked me. I opened my mouth to answer but I couldn't speak. All I could do was look at Jasper, and he looked back at me. I couldn't let that vision come true. I wouldn't let that vision come true. I would rather die.

"Alice, there may be nothing you can do." Edward said warily.

"Don't say that." I sobbed "Please don't say that."

"Alice you have to give me a little more to go on." Jasper said. He was right I had to tell him. But I just couldn't.

"Alice? Would you like me to tell Jasper what's going on?" Edward asked.

I just nodded. I wanted to tell him myself. But it just seemed impossible for me to think about what I'd seen, never mind put it into words. Jasper never broke eye contact with me the whole time Edward was explaining my vision to him. I never took my eyes off him either. I was afraid that the second I stopped looking at him he would disappear.

Jasper never made a sound through the whole explanation. I could hear Bella's sharp intake of breath at certain – more graphic – parts of the story. Bella was also looking at jasper now with a look of pure horror on her pale face. Just as Edward finished explaining Carlisle walked in the house – back from work. Edward took him upstairs so he could explain what I had seen to everyone, Bella went with him- big surprise there.

It was just me and Jasper now – alone. We still hadn't broken eye contact.

"Are you all right my love?" Jasper asked me.

"You just found out that it is quite possible you will be tortured and may die , and your asking if I'm alright?" Only Jasper

"It's just… how to word it? You're feeling so much right now I think you might explode." Jasper chuckled. I couldn't help but laugh, Jasper always managed to make me laugh – "That's better." He said – I don't think I would ever laugh again if I lost him. I can't loose him. "Oh determination, I like that in a woman." He winked. I laughed. There he goes again, making me laugh. Wow he's right my emotions are all over the place.

"I love you. I don't want to loose you." I said

"You wont. I'm not going any..." Jasper was cut short by Carlisle who had appered at the top of the stairs.

"Alice. You say we have a week before he's taken?"

"Yes." I answered.

He sighed. A week. It was so little time.

Authors note : so yes, I decided to continue the story. This chapter isn't very good (sorry about the awful ending by the way) but I was rushing. I'll take my time over the next chapters so hopfully they'll be better than this one. Thank you so much for the great ideas (you'll see I've used some of them in this chapter) they are much appreciated. Please review this chapter - constructive criticism is welcome.

Sorry about the wacky time line.
