Alright, here's chapter 2, as promised!! Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukkah and Happy Kwanza (you do say happy right?)!

Disclaimer: words. go. here.

I stared at the wall as we sat in the long silence. It wasn't uncomfortable, but it was tense. They were trying to figure out how to save me, but maybe I wasn't suppose to survive, maybe it was my time to die.

Edward must've heard my thoughts, for he turned to glare and hiss at me. He broke the long silence with his sharp words. "You are not going to die, Alice! Don't you ever think that again!"

"Think what? Edward, what was she thinking?" Bella, my new-born vampire sister asked, looking worried. She was always worried for us, never for herself. She had to be the most selfless person ever, besides Carlisle.

"She thinks she's not worth the worry. Alice thinks that she's not suppose to make it, that it's time for her to die," he told them. I continued to stare strait ahead as they all sucked in air and looked at me.

Jasper grabbed my shoulders and shook me, "What the hell Alice! You think we shouldn't worry about you?! Are you insane! Look at me Alice, look at me! Why would you even think about dying?"

I looked into the eyes of my soul mate, so full of pain and desperation. He was desperate for me to say I wanted to live, that we should save me, something that made sense.

But I couldn't. Instead, it was Carlisle who spoke, "I think that it's time we payed Aro a visit. I need to talk to him anyway, and he might have the answers we're looking for."

A trip to Volterra, it didn't sound bad, but I wasn't in the mood to be talked into joining him. Jasper's eyes brightened at he thought of Aro's answer, and I knew I had no choice. He wouldn't have to force me to go though, as he thought he might, I would go willingly. I would do anything for my family, anything for him.

We arrived in Volterra the next day, to be greeted by vile little Jane and her horrid brother Alec, who were my least favorite members of the Volturi.

"Hello Alice," Jane said to me as we walked through the damp tunnels. "What happened to you? You look absolutely retched!" I could practically see the small smile on her face as she tortured me, and Edward thought I was annoying.

I heard him chuckle behind me, and saw Jane turn to look at him, I made my move quickly, before she could see the pained expression on my face. "I honestly don't know Jane dear, that's why we came to see you."

I tried to sound innocent and dismissive of the thought as I could and I hoped she wouldn't catch onto how much this hurt. She never liked the fact that I would always be Aro's favorite if I were ever to join the Volturri, so she was always spiteful to me, and would be sure to use any form of emotional pain against me.

"Oh, I hope we could help you! It would be such a shame to have you back as a human! We would miss you so much, especially Alec and me. Right brother?"

"Of course, Aro would be very disappointed to see such power go to waste."

She scowled at the mention of Aro and his favoritism of me, and I had to fight back a laugh. "Yes well, here we are!" She said, abruptly changing the subject.

We walked in to the marvelous room, and Aro, Marcus and Caius all moved towards us. They were so beautiful, especially Aro, they all looked so frail and papery, like he would crumble at anytime.

"Aaghh, my good friend Carlisle! It has been to long!" Aro embraced his old friend. "I see you brought everyone today! Too what do I owe this pleasure?"

Marcus rolled his eyes as he kissed my mother and sisters' hand and hugged my brothers, you could tell hospitality was not his favorite thing. Aro came to me last.

"Alice, a pleasure as always, but, what is wrong child? You are not nearly as cold or strong," he asked me as he held my hand.

I opened my mouth to explain, but Esme cut me off. "We think her body is rejecting her being a vampire, so she is turning into a human." She said it so quietly and sadly that I instantly felt horrible for her, another child taken away form her would kill her.

"May I?" He asked, I knew what he meant as soon as he said it, he wanted a look inside of my mind.

"Of course." I responded.

He zoomed through my thoughts, my visions, but stopped at the beautiful flower and gasped. "What is that? I have never seen a flower like that before!"

"I don't know, but I've been dreaming about it for awhile, it's the only form my visions will take."

"Well, it looks like we're going to have to find out more about it, won't we?" He asked the rhetorical question as he looked in my eyes.

"Yes, it seems we will."

This is Christmas/Kwanza/Hanukkah time! Please be kind and review!
