Chapter 3
Operation save Bella
Disclaimer: Twilight is property of Stephanie Meyer. I just borrow it to keep my imagination entertained.
I hope everyone has been enjoying it so far. The exciting bit is still to come. Alice's visions are written in bold as to avoid confusion.
When dawn came, I had an idea of how I could save Bella. I had to keep it out of my mind though. If Edward knew what was going on, he'd tell Bella and then total chaos will ensue. This was going to be difficult and quite precarious to pull off. My thoughts were interrupted by Emmett's voice. "Alice! Jasper! " He yelled from downstairs. "It's time for school. We're leaving!" Jasper took my hand and tried to lead me out of our bedroom. "Uhm Jasper?" I started. "I don't think I'm going to school today."
He looked at me, a little confused. I needed some time alone to think about 'operation save Bella' and how it would have to play out. "I'll stay with you then." Jasper announced. Those were the words I dreaded to hear. A frown fell upon my face. "You can't, Jasper." I said sadly. It was said so quietly that human ears wouldn't have been able to hear it. He continued to stare at me. "Why not, Pixie?" He asked me very quietly and sadly. It made my cold, dead heart drop in my chest. "I...I...need a bit of time alone." I said sadly. He just hugged me and said; "Ok, I'll see you when we get home." He started to walk out the door. His whole being full of sadness. I whispered, "I love you." as he walked out the door. He looked at me with a weak smile and said; "I love you too." With that, he walked out of the room.
As soon as I heard the car pull out of the drive-way, I dropped to my knees in the middle of the room. Dry sobs racked my petite body. I had to hurt my family and my husband to save the life of my best friend. If I failed, my best friend would die. If I succeeded, the relationships between my family, especially Jasper, would be ruined. I suppose unhappiness was a small price to pay for the life of a friend.
I couldn't moap around anymore. I had to get to work if I wanted to make it in time. The full moon was tomorrow night. I left the empty house to go to the forest. The only way for my plan to work is to stay away from Edward and everyone else. Including my Jasper... I stopped at a clothing store in town. I needed to mask my scent so no one would follow me. I bought a new outfit, and discarded the other one. This is about the only time that shopping isn't fun. I walked at human speed to the forest once more, but as soon as I was in the cover of the trees I took off at full speed.
I wasn't sure where I was going yet, but it had to be far away. I had been running for a while now, and I started to feel a magical force just to my left. I knew it had to be the Quillette border. I ran along side the border, untill I reached the Olympic mountain range. I spotted a cave high up the range. I started climbing. It was more like running up walls than climbing, so I reached the cave in no time. When I reached the top, a vision unfolded before my eyes. I watched as my family returned home. Jasper went up into our room to find it empty. He told the others that I wasn't there, and so the search began. I snapped out of the vision after a few seconds. I sighed and entered the cave. This was now my sanctuary for the next 36 hours.
I sat in the furthest corner of the cave. It was dark but that was no problem for a vampire. I pulled my knees up to my chest and lay my head on them. I started flipping through visions as if they were TV channels, to see if anything had changed. I watched one particular vision. It was the same as before. The Volturi stalking their way to Bella's house. Jane was still leading, but I could see who the other three Volturi guard were. Felix, Alec and Demetri were following Jane up to the house. It was strange that it was only the guard. Where was Aro? Or Marcus? Or Caius? This was strange indeed. I watched the four members of the guard slowly approaching the house. I shuddered at the thought of Demetri's tracking skills. I'd never seen anyone compare to this tracker. I thought about my plan and watched as the vision blurred, spiraled and then changed. The members of the guard were creeping up to the house only to be met by the Cullens. Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Emmett, Edward and... Jasper. They out numbered the guard but they were highly skilled. I watched as Jane hit Esme with painful shocks. Esme doubled over and ended up on the forest floor. She was screaming in agony. Jasper grabbed Jane from behind and the pain subsided from Esme. In that same instant, Felix had Jasper's arms locked behind his back. I watched in horror as Demetri viciously ripped an arm off of Rosalie. Edward and Emmett went for Demetri but were stopped by Alec. He incapacitated all the Cullens except Jasper, who was secure in Felix's grip. They slowly started ripping my family apart. They saved Jasper for last. Alec lit a fire and one by one my family members were thrown into the flames. Leaving behind only ashes. Then I heard Bella's piercing scream once more...
I snapped out of the vision with a gasp. If I asked my family to help me, they would all be killed... That was definitely not an option. Huge and uncontrollable sobs racked my body again. I was going to have to stick to the original plan. I was going to have to go in alone...
Hope you guys liked it. Remember a story without reviews is like movies without popcorn. (^.^)
