Enjoy the chapter!
Abby and Ashley fidgeted under the stares of everyone around them as they digested the information. Ashley didn't know what was going through everyone's head at the moment and she wished she could read their thoughts. She didn't know how Edward or Jacob would act, although she had to admit to herself it was funny to watch as Rosalie smacked Emmett upside the head for his outburst.
"Ashley did you see this coming?" Lucas stated as his wife griped his hand. He didn't know if his daughter had seen this as an outcome from this meeting.
Abby spoke up for her sister this time, "If Ashley knew this was going to happen Dad she would have told me. You know it is impossible for her to lie to me."
"All I saw was all of us meeting, I didn't see Abby and I imprinting Dad. You know that I don't see everything, I just see snippets of things," Ashley explained, momentarily ignoring everyone but her family.
Carlisle interrupted then, "Are you implying that Ashley can see the future?"
Alice bounced in her seat with joy, "Oh that's wonderful. I see the future to and I just know that you and I are going to be great friends Ashley!"
Ashley turned around and gave Alice a smile before turning to Carlisle, "I just don't see the future Carlisle, like Alice. I see snippets of the past, present and future. You can say they are like premonitions, sometimes I see things in order to change the outcome or understand things."
Carlisle nodded his head and Ashley could still see the curious look in his eyes and she knew he had many more questions but didn't know if he could ask them or not.
"Ashley and Abby are the talented ones in our family," Hailey stated with a proud maternal smile as she looked over the girls. Everyone could easily see that even though she was not their biological mother, she loved them very much. The Cullens knew that she was very similar to Esme.
Emmett grinned at Ashley and asked, "So what kind of gift does your sister have baby sis?"
"Baby sis?" Ashley asked with an eyebrow raised.
Emmett grinned even wider replying, "Well since you imprinted on Edward, who is my younger brother, you became my younger sister. Isn't imprinting like marriage or something?"
Ashley giggled at his comment and then explained, "Imprinting does not necessarily end in the two people marrying. When a wolf imprints on someone, that person becomes their world but that doesn't mean the two have to be together romantically. A wolf can be their imprints best friend, brother/sister or lover. In fact if Edward wanted to, he wouldn't have to be anything to me."
Edward sat there and listened to her explanation and pondered over the information. He already felt a huge pull to her and although he still loved Bella so much he wanted to get to know Ashley. He suddenly heard a thought from Jacob and his eyes widened as he looked at Ashley asking, "What happens to you if I decide to want to have nothing to do with you?"
"She would be in physical pain if she is separated from you for too long," Jacob answered when he noticed that Ashley wouldn't explain that part.
Before Edward could say anything Ashley explained, "If you want nothing to do with me I will leave you be, Edward. It's not as if I would stalk you."
"No I will just feel guilty that you are in pain because of me," Edward retorted angrily.
Ashley narrowed her eyes, "I'm not trying to make you feel bad or guilty you arrogant prick."
Lucas stood up then and stated, "Ashley that is enough, do not let your temper get the best of you."
Hailey smiled and commented from her seat, "I think that is enough questions for tonight," she paused and looked at Carlisle and Sam, "do we have your permission to stay in Forks?"
Carlisle nodded his head and Sam mirrored it while adding, "As long as you do not bite a human the treaty we have with the Cullens will apply to your family as well."
"We thank you and ask that you come to the BBQ we will be throwing this weekend," Lucas stated with a smile.
"Even though we do not eat, my family and I will be there. We would like to get to know you better," Esme stated smiling.
The wolf pack was the first to leave, minus Jacob and the Cullens excused themselves to their house minus Edward. Lucas and Hailey hugged their daughters and marked that they would see them when they got home.
Edward cleared his throat before looking at Ashley, "I wanted to apologize for earlier, I did not mean—"
"Ashley should be the one apologizing to you Edward, she tends to speak before she acts," Abby stated, ignoring the glare she received from her sister.
Ashley scoffed and crossed her arms over her chest. Jacob asked, "So Ashley never did explain what your gift was Abigail."
Abby blushed when she looked Jacob in the eyes, "I'm a physical and mental shield and please call me Abby."
"Is that why I could not read any of your family's minds?" Edward asked.
Abby nodded her head, "I learned to project it over others a long time ago."
Jacob grinned, "That awesome, you must be pretty tough then huh."
Ashley smiled when she saw the smile and blush her sister was sporting. She walked up and slung an arm around Jacob's shoulders, which wasn't an easy thing to do since he was taller than her. She heard Edward growl but ignored it as she smiled, "I think I'm going to like have you as a brother-in-law Jakey!"
"Jakey?" Jacob asked confused while Abby exclaimed, "Ashley!"
"What? I like the nickname and I can tell you like him. You are after all blushing, and I've never seen you blush so much," Ashley smiled explaining as she dodged the punch her sister threw her way.
Jacob grabbed Abby's hand and smiled when she looked at him surprised, "I think your blush is cute."
Ashley smiled from her new spot next to Edward as her sister and Jacob started talking to one another, "You do know that your sisters and Emmett are watching you from the window right?"
Edward glanced behind him and saw the girls duck as Emmett just grinned at them waving like an idiot. He turned to her, "I am sorry for the way I acted earlier; I was just overwhelmed with everything. I had no idea wolves could imprint on vampires."
"I'm only half wolf Edward, I'm half vampire as well and I should be the one apologizing. My sister was right, I spoke without thinking," Ashley stated as she turned to look at him.
All of sudden Alice appeared next to Ashley exclaiming with a grin, "Oh I think we should go shopping this weekend!"
Ashley gasped and backed into Edward, who gripped her upper arms. She inhaled as she was pulled into a premonition.
~Start of Premonition~
Edward was in a meadow with a beautiful brunette and she could feel the love he had for her. The brunette started to talk, "Edward we need to talk."
Edward smiled and grabbed her hands within his and gave her a charming smile, "I know, there are many wedding details that Alice wants us to discuss. For example, she wants our opinion on what color the—"
Bella cut him off, "No that's not what I meant when I said we need to talk."
"Ok well then what is on your mind, you know that I can't read your mind Bella," Edward replied with a smile as he pulled her down gently to sit beside him.
The woman now identified as Bella looked at him as she sat down, "I love you and your family so very much. You all have welcomed me into your family and loved me unconditionally. I will never forget what you all have done and I am grateful to the wolf pack and you for protecting me from Victoria and her newborns," she paused and looked at her hands, "but I think it would be best for me to move back in with my mother."
Edward put a finger under her chin and made her look him in the eyes, "Are you telling me that you no longer wish for this life?"
She nodded her head and continued, "You have to have noticed that our relationship is not the same it was since you have come back. Over those months I think a part of me moved on, and while I was glad that you and your family came back I don't think it can go back to the way it was."
"What about the Volturi Bella, they will not just let you stay alive without changing," Edward stated grasping at straws as his undead heart started to break.
Bella informed him, "Alice saw in a vision once I had made a decision and Aro knows of a vampire that can erase and alter certain memories. Aro will allow him to erase the knowledge of you and your family being vampires as a favor to Carlisle."
"You want to forget about us, about our love?" Edward asked in a disbelieving voice.
Bella shook her head, "No, I will remember everything that has happened here in Forks, the only things I won't remember will be how I really ended up in the hospital after the whole James thing, the fight with Victoria and her newborns, the wolf pack and you and your family being vampires. I will remember our time together and how much we loved each other."
"You keep saying how much you love me," at Bella's nod he continues, "how can you leave me if you love me?"
Bella gave him a sad smile, "I will always love you Edward, I'm just not in love with you anymore. You told me to move on with my life and find someone who could give me a normal life. I want to do that, I don't think I'm cut out for this supernatural life. I would miss my family to much, besides I have already put this family and the wolf pack through so much."
~End of Premonition~
Ashley heard people calling her name and opened her eyes to see her sister explaining to the Cullens and Jacob that she was just having a premonition and she would be fine once it ended. She opened her eyes and noticed that she was seated in Edwards lap, and the Cullens were looking at her with worried looks.
"Are you alright?" Edward asked looking into her eyes.
Ashley nodded her head as her sister asked, "What did you see?"
"I saw the past, at least I think it was the past," Ashley replied.
Carlisle asked, "What was it about?"
"I saw Edward in a meadow with a beautiful brunette," she paused and looked at Edward, "I'm am so sorry Edward. I could feel how much you loved her and how heartbroken you where when Bella told you she had decided to not change for you."
Everyone's eyes widened and watched as Edward stood up and gently put Ashley on her feet while turning and walking into the forest at the back of his house, calling over his shoulder, " I need to hunt."
Ashley felt rejected and hurt but did not let it show. She felt her sister place a hand on her arm and give her a small smile as Esme turned to her, "He just needed time to think dear. He loved her very much and he took it very hard when she left him. He just needs time."
Ashley gave her a small smile, "I understand Esme. I'm sure he did not want to remember that particular moment. I could feel the pain he was in and it was tremendous."
Jasper chimed in then, "Are you also an empath Ashley?"
Ashley shook her head and explained, "No, I'm just able to feel the emotions of the person are having in the premonition. In this case I was feeling what Edward felt."
Abby wrapped an arm around her sister's waist stating softly, "I think Ashley and I need to get home," she looked at Carlisle, "let Edward know we will see him and everyone else at school tomorrow."
Carlisle nodded his head as they turned to all go in the house. Jacob stopped next to them, "I can walk you guys home if you want."
Ashley smiled, "That's nice of you Jacob."
"I don't get to keep my nickname?" Jacob asked grinning.
Abby smiled as she saw that he was trying to make her laugh. She watched her sister smile bigger and start arguing with him about nicknames as they started walking back towards the house. She only hoped that her sister will find happiness with Edward, after all he was her imprint and is basically perfect for her. 'I just hope he can keep her out of trouble,' she thought as she walked after the two ahead of her.
