Disclaimer: Wonderful Stephenie Meyer owns all things Twilight, I only wish I did. I just play with them instead.
Ok, so there is chapter three. I know I promised for Edward to go completely bonkers on the news, but it didn't. That will come with next chapter. I hope you will like it. Happy reading.
Chapter 3
Alice POV
So, at Bella's request, we went hunting. I really wanted to go with her. Her closet needed some serious updates. Oh well, another time then. We decided to head to Yellowstone National Park this time. Emmett has got everyone convinced to try a buffalo.
"Hey, I've never tried it in my life?" he answered with his sheepish, trademark grin.
They had some problems with overpopulation already, so why not? The only downside was, this place was just too damn far away from home. We arrived pretty quick there. We just begun our hunt.
Then it happened. Suddenly everything went blank. I dropped half way drained bull to the ground. Jazz, Rose and Em were beside me immediately.
Vision
Bella is in the park. She is walking towards her car. Three men approach her. Oh, no, no, I began panting franticly. Something they said sets her off. S-sshe k-kills them and drains two of them... That wasn't the worst. Soon after Bella just disappeared from my vision. I tried hard to see her, but there was just blackness.
End of vision.
That was it. I began to shake and dry sob. I could feel my husband's arms around me. He tried to calm me, but nothing could help.
"NOOOO!" I screamed at the top of my lungs. This could not be happening. But it was, very soon. Judging from what I saw, it was split second decision, it must have been happening like now? That thought came out like a question.
"What has happened? What have you seen?" Jasper asked with urgency in his voice.
"It's Bella," and I told them about my vision. They all gasped in shock. "I need to call Edward and Carlisle right away." I reached for my mobile. I hit the button on the speed dial. Damn it. "No signal!" I growled. "Freaking technology, it never works, when you need it the most." My eyes have glazed over again. Good no cops on the road, we could just floor it.
"We have to get back home, right now!" I shouted, as I darted towards the car. I knew we would be too late. I prayed, that maybe I could prevent the second half of the vision. We just regained our peace for goodness sake. Why can't fate leave my family alone? I thought to myself.
As I predicted, our ride home was quick. It was also very quiet. Even Emmett did not utter one word. With some higher powers working against us, none of us could get a signal. We had no way of alerting Edward. We couldn't of course tell him the whole truth over the phone. Saying, that he would overreact, would be an understatement of the century. I just wanted make sure, that whole family was present, Jake included.
"Ok guys..." I finally spoke, "We will be in Edwards range soon. I want you all to block your minds. Trust me, if he bolts, before we have a chance to speak to him, he will do much more damage. We need to plan this..." I sighed, "And he needs to be a participant in that planning." I finished. I began to sing Beyonce in Japanese. I knew I would annoy my favourite brother. I would even enjoy that, the circumstances were different.
We were home a little after 10 pm. I knew they did not worry about Bella yet. I already tried to see her future. It was nothing but black. I tried more old fashioned way and rang her mobile. It went straight to the answering machine. When we approached the house, I could see my brother on the porch. Ha, Beyonce did the trick.
"What is going on?" Edward was visibly pissed. He knew that we were hiding something.
"Is the rest of the family home?" I quickly asked my own question. He nodded yes. "Good, this cannot wait." With that, I entered the house. Edward, Rosalie an Emmett were close behind.
"Can everyone come to the dining room please? Jake, Nessie, you two as well." I said in a stern voice. Carlisle raised an eyebrow at Edward.
"Don't look at me. They are all blocking me." He said matter of fact.
"Ok. Jazz, Emmett, could you sit with Edward between you?" They nodded with an agreement.
"What this is all about?" Carlisle and Edward said at the same time.
"When we were hunting, I had a vision concerning Bella." I showed it to Edward in my mind, at the same time I was retelling it to the rest of the family.
"NNOOOOO!!!" Edward roared. "NO, THIS CAN'T BE HAPPENING!!!" I thought for the split second, that he was referring to her drinking human blood. I quickly mentally slapped myself. Edward would never do that. As I predicted, they had to restrain Edward. Even Carlisle and Jake had to help. Jasper tried to send extra strong calming waves towards Edward, and it helped a little, very little. He was still thrashing on the floor against them.
"We have to get her back. I cannot live without her. Nessie needs her mother." He was whispering now, then started sobbing.
My niece came over to him. She placed her hand on his chick. I don't know what has she showed him, but it certainly worked better than Jasper's power. He stopped struggling and the men released him.
"See daddy? Everything will be all right. We will get momma back. Don't you even think that we are not getting her back." After that she looked right in his eye. And I dare to think, he believed her.
"I'm going to La Push. I need to alert the packs. Don't worry Edward, we will find her. I make sure of that." Jake said.
"Thank you. You don't even know how much that means to me."
"Oh believe me, I do know." With that Jake left. He was a giant wolf half way through the door.
"So what do we do now?" I asked.
"Do you see anything else happening?" Esme asked.
"No. Every time I look for Bella's future, it doesn't exist." My eyes glazed over again. WTF? "I can't see our future either. It's like we decided too look for her and our future disappeared too..." I didn't know what to think about that.
"Do you think it has something to do with the wolves helping us perhaps?" Carlisle asked.
"I don't know, but I don't think so. I don't know what this means yet."
"Ok everyone. We have to get organised. Since Edward is so distressed, he will stay home with Nessie." Carlisle looked at Edward and dared him to disagree. "You can be too irrational in your grief son. You could expose us. Besides, I'm sure that Jacob will join the search party, so you will stay here with Nessie. Edward just sighed and hanged hid head. He knew that Carlisle was right. Nessie took his hand in hers, and Edward seemed to relax a tiny bit. Only his eyes remained dead.
"We will go to Seattle right away. Thanks to the night time, we can be more efficient in our search." With that we left.
"Hey guys. I told Sam what has happened. Seth, Sam, Jared and I will come with you. We will change back near Seattle. I guess four giant wolves would bring quite a disturbance over there. Meet you in Seattle." With that, Jake phased, and all of them took off running.
Jasper and I took my Porshe, Carlisle and Esme rode their Mercedes, and Rosalie and Emmett took the Lamborghini.
We went for the restaurant that Bella was meeting J. in. We circled around, and finally parked about quarter of a mile from there. We took on foot from there. I felt so blind without my second sight. I felt really irritated, among other emotions.
"Everything is gonna work out." My husband squeezed my shoulder lightly. "We will find her." I knew that, I just didn't know in what condition and in how many pieces. No. I shook my head. We would get Bella whole and alive.
"We have to go to that park." I indicated. "It will be a good starting point. The trail should be still fresh there." Everyone nodded. Soon we were joined by wolves. Oh those dogs, why they must smell so bad. At least they are helping with the headache.
"Anything yet?" asked Jake.
"Nope. We are heading for this park over there. This is where I've seen Bella slip?..." I said it more like a question, with Sam here. I did not know what his reaction would be. We all stiffen just a little.
"I know it goes against the grain. But we would not kill Bella for that. She didn't plan that. She killed them, yes. But it was an accident. I know, there are human monsters, worst that your kind anyway. We know that much, not to judge the book by its cover, right?" Sam said and Jared nodded in agreement.
"Thank you. That means a lot to us." My father said.
We entered the park. I knew all of us could smell it right away. The smell of blood was still thick in the air. It caused the venom to pool in my mouth slightly. But something did not add up here.
"What do you think?" Carlisle asked.
"I can definitely smell Bella." I said with the confidence, the other confirmed it.
"There are at least two other vampires scents here." Jasper said.
"Something is not quite right." Jake interrupted. "Can you smell that? There are two other scents here. I swear they are so like Nessie..." he trailed off, he had puzzled expression.
"Do you think they've had hybrids with them?" Emmet asked, and then I knew. It was like a light bulb went off in my head.
"Bella is live." I said in matter-of-fact tone.
"How do you know that?" Rosalie asked.
"It's simple. I cannot believe, that I didn't think of that before. The vampires that kidnapped Bella had at least two hybrids with them. That's why everything went black."
"So someone obviously knows that you can't see them. That explain a lot, but not who has taken her." Jasper said.
"Do you think?" Esme did not finish her question. This time Carlisle answered.
"It is highly likely, that Volturi did this. Yet, they had many witnesses with that knew all of this too. There a lot of people out there who would be willing to use Bella's power against Volturi. On the other hand I know Caius and Aro. If I had to put my money on it, I would bet on Volturi's involvement. In the mean time, we have to decide what to do next."
"Let's call the Denalis. Eleazar should be a great help." Rosalie was all business.
"And Amazons, they will be more than happy to give their assistance." I said. With that we retreated to our cars.
A/N So what do you think? Give me some love and review please. This is my firs fanfic, so be gentle. Also I have a question for you. I want to change the nature of Bella's shield. Which direction should I go with it, or maybe should I give her one more power? Tell me.
