CHAPTER 4

When I woke up, I realized I was on the bed. Alice must have put me on the bed last night. It was cloudy outside when I looked out the window.

"Bella we're going to leave for Alaska in an hour. Come downstairs and have breakfast"

Without turning I told Alice I'd be down in 10 minutes. I took a quick shower, and put on some clothes and then I walked downstairs.

There was a bowl of Cheerios on the kitchen table. I sat down, and all of a sudden everyone was at the table, as if they had been there the whole time.

"So Bella the plan is that we are going to go into a small house we own near them. We can change you there and then we can go to Tanya's house and stay there. Are you sure you want to go to their coven, we can still stay in our own house if you'd like." Carlisle asked me.

I had made my decision last night and I was not going to change it.

"I'm sure I want to go Carlisle."

"Alright, so you finish your breakfast, and we will get ready to leave." And they all got up and left.

When I finished breakfast, I started to go upstairs to get my bag, but Alice stopped me, and told me that she had already put my bag in the car. I nodded. I headed towards the cars. The Volvo was missing. I knew why, I knew where it was, but it hurt me so much knowing that it wasn't there.

"Bella you can ride with me or Jasper or Emmett, or Rosalie. Your pick."

"Who drives the slowest?"

"None of us drive slow Bella." Alice laughed.

"Why don't you just tell me who I pick?"

"You pick me. Cool"

"Alright." I got into her car. Everyone else was loading luggage into the trunks of the car. They had all packed what they needed, and everything else would stay here until they relocated.

I waited for them to finish, it only took them all five minutes. Everyone got into their cars and sped off. We were the last ones to leave. Alice hit the gas pedal and we were going at 125 mph.

"Alice are we racing to see who gets there first?"

"No, we're not."

"Well could you drive more slowly, please?"

"No Bella. We can't."

"'Kay."

I didn't feel like I had enough energy in me to argue with her. I wondered why I wasn't numb. Maybe because I would see him so enough and that kept me from losing it? I didn't know, and I didn't care. I was just glad that I wasn't numb…but I knew I would be soon enough.

Alice spoke, pulling me away from my thoughts.

"Bella do you want to talk about it?"

I sighed. "No Alice."

"Okay. So what do you want to talk about?"

"So, you still see me becoming one of you, right?"

"Yeah, I've been seeing that since we met you, but the circumstances keep on changing."

"Ok good. Will I have any powers?"

"Yeah. I was hoping you wouldn't ask me. I wanted them to be a surprise."

"No Alice I want to know. If things don't work out, I need to have something that the Volturi would take me in for."

Alice glared at me. "You are not joining the Volturi Bella!"

"Whatever. Just tell me."

"Ok Bella, I'll tell you. But this is just a possibility; you could end up with some other power." She sighed and continued. "You won't need human blood. Only animal blood."

That took me a minute to take in. I wasn't going to be like the rest of them. I wasn't going to want humans. It made sense, I almost always puked when I saw, or smelt blood.

"Is that it?"

"No. You will also be able to cry. And there is this one more special power, but I don't know what it is. It's only coming to be in blurs. I'm not sure what it is."

Wow. I'd still be able to cry. I couldn't tell if this was a good or bad thing.

"That's alright. This is all still a possibility. Thanks for telling me Alice."

"You're welcome Bella."

That was the last time I spoke. I stayed quiet for the rest of the four hours. My mind was swirling with memories of him, and each memory took a piece of my heart and broke it again, and again.

I had fallen asleep, and pretty soon, Alice was shaking my shoulder telling me to wake up.

I opened my eyes and we were in front of this mansion. It wasn't even close to the mansion in Forks. But it would have to do. If I was lucky then I would only be here for 3 days.

We walked in. It was much prettier on the inside than it was on the outside. The rooms were beautiful.

Everyone took their stuff into the house, and I took my overnight bag upstairs. The rest of the luggage was still in the car because we didn't plan on staying here very long.

I changed into my sweats and my favorite t-shirt. I went downstairs, and Emmett had grabbed McDonalds for me on the way here for my lunch. Alice sat with me while I ate, while everyone else went hunting.

"Are you scared Bella?" She asked.

"No, I have nothing to be afraid of." I didn't have anything to be afraid of. The only thing that I had been afraid of happened. He chose to leave. There was nothing left in life to be scared of.

She nodded like she understood. She didn't, no one did.
