Chapter 2

Disclaimer: I do not own Twilight

A/N I know I claimed this was all from Alice's POV but there is one section from Jasper's

I continued to sob tearless sobs, my whole body shaking and convulsing with each sob. I gasped for air struggling unneeded breathes. I felt my head hit Jasper's chest with many times and I knew it hurt him anger tugged at the parts of my brain not focused on the sobs. What was Edward doing? It was going to kill Bella and him?

Jasper's POV

Alice's tiny head hit my chest over 20 times and it hurt but I didn't cry out. The physical pain was nothing compared to the wounds of the newborn vampires from before, I still remembered the unbearable pain as the venom struck my skin. The emotional pain as I watched Alice suffer was beyond comparison. I wanted to make her feel better but my powers would only bring temporary relief from the pain suddenly Alice's emotions turned blank she was having a vision.

Alice's POV

"Edward welcome to Denali" said Tanya avoiding Edward's agonized expression "your family is waiting."

"Jasper" I gasped "we have to go to Denali" he nodded as helped my to my feet I shook nervously as I struggled to stay calm. Suddenly I felt Jasper touch my shoulder and relief flow through my body. Then we ran all the way to Denali without stopping and arrived just as my vision had ended.

"Edward" Jasper called his voice firm

"Sorry Alice" he muttered in a robotic monotone "Please don't look out for Bella's future she promised to keep herself safe." I nodded unable to form words watching my brother suffer when his earlier comment came to mind You're not my sister I shook as the comment stung, no matter what Edward thought he would always be a brother to me.

Edward looked at us then walked away muttering something about distractions; Jasper nudged me to remind he we had to hunt. I was distracted but managed to catch a couple small does. Jasper looked at my face which betrayed hurt and unbearable pain. He took a step forward and pulled me into a sweet embrace. I looked into his worried gold eyes and felt all the pain melt from the world.

We walked back to Tanya's tiny house set away from everything and everyone and I noticed Edward his eyes full of worry, he looked at me and anger became apparent on his hurt face. "How can you care about something like that at a time like this?" he yelled at me, I'd been thinking of finding out about my family, my past.

Jasper sensing my next move reached to grab me but I jumped my fist colliding with Edward's nose. The impact knocked us both to the forest ground and Jasper took a clearly defensive position over me. The rest of our family and Tanya's came running, Jasper's position had them all scared, and one wrong move from Edward and Jasper would attack. "You think you're the only one who cares about her," Jasper yelled at Edward "Well do you know what Alice has been through?" said Jasper running over the day's events in his head and Edward cringed backing off slightly fear in his every move.

"I'm leaving," said Edward is voice emotionless, robotic but pain evident on his pale face.

"No please Edward" said Esme a maternal edge to her voice, Edward ignored her and began to run. Esme sobbed lightly into Carlisle's shoulder and I felt horrible. Jasper came and stood beside me.

"It's not your fault," he whispered into my ear "come on" he led me into the house.

Suddenly I felt a vision coming "So did you know the girl who claimed to have visions?" I asked a man, Jasper tense at my side "Yes" said the man. I started to ask Jasper if we could go find the man tomorrow but he nodded knowing already what I wanted.

The next day we approached the house from my vision both of us nervous but Jasper kept a reassuring hand on my shoulder. I knocked on the door and the man invited us in, he wasn't really a man almost 100. "I'm looking for my grandmother's roots she lived her I think, she was sent to a mental hospital." I started "So did you know the girl who claimed to have visions?" I asked a man, Jasper tense at my side

"Yes" said the man "her name was Mary Alice Brandon, You look like her what did you say your name was?"

"Alice" I whispered

"Well" the man continued "I'm Dave and Mary's younger sister Cynthia was a friend of mine, you should ask her more. All I know is Mary could always guess things and said she had visions, I believed her but her parents shipped her off to a loony bin. Mrs. Brandon always like Cynthia better I don't know why." He finished

I looked at Jasper upset and we left to look for Cynthia.
