Chapter 3: Surprises

AN: okay so I know I haven't updated in a long time but I have a pretty good reason! The chapter I had mostly written was erased when my computer… pasted away… so it took me a while to decide to write again…Anyone who may be confused by when Alice got the vision it was actually before Bella got on the plane. Then as you will find out it is hours later that she tries to see a vision again and by that time Bella is a vampire and whether she knows it or not she's blocking Alice.

Previously…
I could feel the venom pooling up in my eyes but I knew I would never be able to cry.

I kept searching for Bella's future, hoping that maybe I was wrong. It came up blank.

Jasper felt my anxiety and depression seeping in so he was quickly at my side.

"What's wrong Alice?"

I said the answer right away, "Bella." Then before I knew what was happening I had venom pouring down my face. I was crying vampire tears. I was crying them for my lost sister.

Jasper's Point of View
I looked down at my wife doing something no vampire was supposedly able to do. Seeing the venom tears streaking down her face I had no clue what to think. After letting her settle down I turned her face towards mine.

"What happened to her darling?" I tried asking her but she broke out into another round of tears.

We sat there for hours her crying clinging onto my shirt, and I was trying my best to console her. When the family started nearing the house I could feel Esme become very nervous hearing the sobs coming from inside her house. Bursting through the front door she whipped her head around. Seeing Alice in tears her eyes widened. She mouthed to me, "What happened?"

I shrugged and tried to shift Alice again. "Sweetheart, you need to tell us what's wrong. Maybe we can stop it?"

She looked up into my face with makeup smeared down her face. "We're too late. She's on the plan. She's going to be dead any minute. I wasn't quick enough." She slumped into my chest

I could tell Esme was confused so I looked up and straight into her gold eyes. "Bella." Her eyes widened and she looked as though she too would cry.

"No! it can't be! Alice she must survive! Look and see if you can see any future from her!" I tried to calm down both Alice and Esme but it wasn't working at all.

"There was a vampire on the plane mom. If she didn't die on impact then she was drained of all her blood!" Alice was exhausted and I could tell Esme wasn't helping her any.

"Esme, I'm going to take her hunting okay?" She nodded and I started leading Alice out.

When we had walked out the back door Emmett and Rosalie were just walking in. Emmett hadn't been the same since we left Bella, the usual goofy Emmett seemed to have stayed behind with her. Once he had spotted Alice he ran up to her and gave her a big bear hug. "What's wrong Alice? And have you…. Been crying?"

She nodded her head. "Bella's dead." After she said that she kept walking leaving a frozen Emmett behind.

Alice and I had been hunting for quite a while when I decided I needed to talk to her about the vision. "Alice darling, can you come here?" She walked slowly over to me.

"I know you want me to talk about the vision. But I cant Jazzy. My best friend is dead, and it's all my fault." I was about to interrupt to tell her it was really my fault when she cut me off. "No it's not your fault jazzy. You didn't mean to attack her. If it was your choice you wouldn't have. It's my fault because I should've seen what she decided. I should've-" She only stopped because my finger was pressed against her lips.

" Do you think she decided to go on a plan that would bring her to her deathbed? I don't think so Ally." I watched as my words processed in her head.

"I should've stopped Edward from ever leaving. How bout that one? We shouldn't have left her so vulnerable." She looked down at her lap as she finished talking.

" You couldn't have predicted this one Alice."

She grabbed my hand and pulled me back to the house. I watched her the entire way and once we got there she let go of my hand and flitted to the TV. Everyone else in the family was home except Edward and they were all absently staring at the TV while Alice changed the channel. When she stopped at the right channel I could see a news lady standing in front of a building that was on fire. I had a good idea what was coming so I quickly sent many waves of calm to hopefully help everyone.

Alice sat crisscross in front of the TV and watched very closely. I could here her mumbling things like "no" "there has to be a mistake".

Carlisle slowly turned to me. "Jasper. Please explain to me what has gone on with Alice, and why everyone keeps saying…. Bella is.. Dead."

"Look at the news. The flight to Jacksonville, the town where her mother lives. This plane crashed into a building and there are no survivors. A vampire was on the plane and that's all I know." I looked towards Alice then back at everyone. "She was crying for hours on end earlier. She was crying." Carlisle both looked and felt shocked, as well as concerned as he eyed Alice.

I walked up to her and knelt down beside her. I shhhh'd her and told her it was going to be okay. The entire time she just rocked back and forth, mumbling to herself.

Aro's Point of View
"Yes I know Caius. You don't trust Alexandria and you wish she would disappear but do you not see the powers she has? She is a great asset to our coven. You must agree with that?" I tried for what felt the thousandth time to convince Caius that Alexandria was good for us.

"There is something she's hiding from us Aro! How do you not see it?" He shouted at me.

I was about to retort when I heard a knock on the door. "COME IN." I shouted to Jeanine, the receptionist. When she stuck her head in I spoke again. "What is it Jeanine?"

"There is a vampire who wishes to speak to you." Her voice was weak but I heard her clearly.

"Send it in." I was curious to see why a vampire would be bothering us. They must need a problem taken care of.

It was a shame Alexandria wasn't here for this meeting so I sent Demetri to go get her, and Heidi from the woods, where she was hunting. She may have only been here for a few days but she needs this experience under her belt.

The large doors creaked open and a female vampire came in with long red hair. She smiled at us and looked at the one empty throne with confusion. "I thought there were only 3 brothers?"

"Our sister is the newest edition to our family. She will be coming soon." Marcus said from the throne two to my left. In between ours was Alexandria's new one.

"Very well. Shall we wait for her then?" The red head asked us. I nodded my head and the room silenced. A few minutes had gone by before I heard Heidi say, "Hood up." and the doors opened once more and two vampires walked in, one of which being Alexandria.

When Alexandria opened the door she froze for the slightest of time looking at the back of this vampires head. Slowly she made her way to her throne and sat down.

What's wrong Alexandria?

Her voice entered my head once again.

She knows me. She is a part of my past. Please when you touch her hand and see all of her thoughts don't think badly of me… or them.

I was about to ask her what she meant when I noticed everyone was waiting for me. I looked up at the read headed vampire and spoke. "What is your name?"

"My name is Victoria." She spoke and I saw Alexandria trying to suppress a shudder.

"Welcome to Volterra, Victoria. How my we be of service?" I tried to be nice but whatever was wrong with Alexandria was getting to me.

"I know of a coven disobeying the law. They have a… pet. A human that knows our secret. They must be destroyed!"

"What coven is it?" Caius' voice filled the air.

She had a grin on her face as she said, "the Cullens." I walked up to her and grabbed her hand. As I was assaulted by all of her thoughts I noticed Alexandria popping up quite a bit.

"What is this humans name?"

"Isabella Swan."

Looking over to Alexandria I directed my next words to her. "Do you have any thoughts about this situation?"

"I've been informed that the situation has been taken care of. You are not to touch a hair on that family." I know that if it were I she was talking to I would listen. The look in her eyes made everyone shiver.

It was then that Victoria noticed that her eyes were an almost golden color, close to brown but not a normal red. "YOU ARE A CULLEN AREN'T YOU?"

I looked over to see Alexandria's eyes darken. "No. I'm not. But I suggest you watch your tongue when you speak to me."

Victoria continued glaring at Alexandria. After a minute passed Alexandria just looked at Victoria and she fell the ground screaming out in pain. When Victoria finally was releases she looked up at Alexandria. "Jane?"

"No." She said pulling down her hood. "Alexandria Volturi." Looking at her I had to look again because in the spot where I know Alexandria was standing before was a girl with black hair and a completely different face, and black eyes. "And I think you should probably leave now." Acid was dripping from her voice.

Victoria got up and ran from the room.

.Looking towards Alexandria I spoke to her. "We need to talk Alexandria. Now." She nodded and followed me as we walked out of the throne room.

We walked for a good 10 minutes before she decided to speak. "You know."

I nodded. "That I do. What happened to you?" As I said this she gasped for breathe and her eyes clouded over.

Alexandria's (Bella's) Point of View
This was the third time I was assaulted by a vision and I wasn't quite used to the feeling. As soon as I saw the family I paid close attention.

The family was sitting in a large living room in what I guessed was their new house. The walls were all a light brown color and the couch was white.

"So you're saying there is a new, powerful Volturi member?" Carlisle asked Alice.

She nodded. "Victoria accused her of being a Cullen… She didn't like it. Her name is Alexandria Volturi, her eyes, they were almost gold. She drinks animal blood. It looked like she recently started to. She was defending our family, and she knew.. About Bella, how she had died. She said the situation had been 'taken care of'."

"How did she know that?" Hearing Esme's soft voice, all I wanted to do was jump into the vision and hug her.

Alice looked like she had been crying for hours, her makeup was smeared down her face, but I knew that was impossible for vampires. Burying her face in Jaspers chest she whispered, "I don't know." I saw her stiffen and knew she was having another vision.

"Alice? Alice, what do you see?" Jasper asked hurriedly.

"Edwards going to call you Esme. Don't tell him about Bella, or the new Volturi member. You know he'll react badly. He wouldn't be able to stand living in a world without her."

Esme nodded and ran up the stairs to grab her phone.

"Alexandria? What's the matter? Was it something I said?" Aro's voice sounded very nervous as he spoke.

I straightened and looked around. "Yes Aro I'm fine. What were you saying?"

He looked puzzled but asked his question anyways/ "What happened with the Cullens that you don't want anyone knowing?"

I decided to tell him the truth. "I was dating their youngest son Edward. They left me. That's it." I knew he thought there was more to it than that but he didn't press me any farther.

"How did you change your appearance in there?" I laughed at this.

"That, Aro, is a good question. I was just hoping she wouldn't recognize me and when I lifted my hood she didn't so I wasn't sure what had happened. Do you have any idea?"

He shook his head. "No clue." He looked up into my face and laughed. "You need to hunt. I'll come with you."

I smiled at him. "Thanks Aro."

Victoria's Point of View
If that brat thought she had scared me off for good she was in for a surprise. I would destroy that precious family of hers. For all I know she was a part of the Cullen family who joined the Volturi. She was bad and I would have to destroy her someone. But first to destroy the family that made my life hell.

"James I will get revenge of your murder. Your memory will be forever in any survivors minds. They will wish they had just let you have the foolish human." I ran for hundreds of miles more devising a plan in my head when I smelt human blood. I ran to the smell to see a man standing alone, a cut across his leg, underneath his shorts.

"Damn sticks. Sharp things are always ready to scrape you wherever you go."

I smiled and thought of how perfect this man was for my plan. "Now, now. It's dangerous to hike alone in the woods."

He turned towards my voice and his jaw dropped. "Shouldn't I ask you the same thing?"

"I asked first though."

He shrugged. "Why bother being careful when you have nothing to live for?"

I frowned. "Isn't that a shame? Well, you won't have to worry for long."

"What do you-" I cut him off putting a finger to his lips. Slowly I leant down and placed a kiss on his neck.

"Don't worry. This is going to hurt a lot." And with that I barred my teeth and sunk them into his throat.

AN: Pleasee don't hate me! I'll try to be more persistent but no promises. Review and let me now what you thought!
