DISCLAIMER: I don't own Twilight, Alice or any of the Cullen's. If I did own Twilight, I'd be answering all the tons of fan-mail I'd be getting and wouldn't have time to come on this (:

The Cullen's all stared at Alice, eyes widened, mouth slightly open too. "Are you positive?" Carlisle asked. Alice bit down on her bottom lip. She nodded slightly.

"I think it is," she said, her voice colouring a tone of denial. She didn't want to believe what she thought, but she knew she was most likely right.

"But why do you think that?" Jasper asked.

Alice turned to face him. At the sight of him, her frowned turned into a smile. He was truly her soul-mate. Her one and only. And the thing she'll be saying to him next would tear him apart. It would do the same to her to.

"No," Edward growled, reading Alice's plan, "We won't let you." Alice sighed and faced him, her features stern and carved onto her perfect face.

"I have to," she said, her voice levelled.

"Do what?" Carlisle asked, his eyes staring from Edward to Alice, worry in every glance.

"She plans to go and find out what this vision was all about," Edward answered plainly. Alice shot her favourite brother a look of utter annoyance. "She plans to leave the next time we all went hunting. Which would be tomorrow…" Alice's eyes turned into slits towards Edward. How could he do that to her? Alice and Edward always got along.

"No…" Esme stammered, walking forward to embrace Alice, "Please…don't…" Alice hugged Esme back half-heartedly.

"I need to know," Alice answered back, her tone dead. Esme let go of her and moved aside. Carlisle stepped forward and placed one hand on Alice's shoulder.

"Be safe," he said, "None of us will go with you. This is something you must do…alone." Hearing the word alone, Alice saw Jasper straightened up, his pained face turned towards Carlisle. Alice pursed her lips into a thin line. She knew he'd come anyway.

"Thank you," Alice said, though it was barely audible, "Carlisle, I have to tell you something."

Carlisle looked up, intrigued by Alice, just like everyone was. "Yes?"

"Your boss is planning to move you," Alice said, calmly, "To Forks, Washington. I'll see you there. There's no need to worry." She tried smiling. Carlisle merely nodded.

"Please come home," Esme begged, pleading in her eyes. Alice gulped and nodded curtly. Outside, the moon was slowly rising.

"Go, before anything happens," Carlisle warned. Alice nodded, and with one last glance towards her beloved family, she turned and headed out the door towards the vast backyard. In a few moments of running, Alice caught the scent of another – Jasper. Alice didn't bother to slow down, and soon, he was next to her. He reached his arm out and took her hand. She turned to him and he smiled attentively at her.

"Where are we going?" he asked.

"Where it all began," Alice answered, facing forward, "The asylum."

Carlisle sighed half-heartedly. After Alice's departure, the house had gone somewhat silent.

"Do you think she'll find what she wanted?" Rosalie asked, sitting on the couch, her legs folded in front of her.

"Hopefully," Carlisle sighed. He then turned his head to look outside, at the darkening forest. The only light that was visible was from the moon in the middle of the sky. "Be careful, Alice," he finally whispered before standing up and walking over to the door. He placed one icy hand on the bronze handle and closed it with an audible thud.

This chapter wasn't as good as the first, but oh well. I wasn't sure how to write a departing scene. Want anything specific to happen in the story? Tell me. I don't bite.

R&R please? ;D
