Chapter 3

A Price to Pay

No matter how close,

No matter how distant I'll yearn

For your memories, in a far away world-----

-Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicles, Chapter 2, The Price of Memories-

Country of America…

"Ha-HA!" Emmett said triumphantly, slashing the bodies of his enemies with his Lightning Blade.

"Aw….very weak these people are!" Emmett sighed as he saw his enemies on the ground, soaked in their own blood.

"Emmett! You have disobeyed my orders…again!" a woman's stern voice said.

"Princess Rosalie!" Emmett whispered and jumped towards the bridge. He saw the golden-haired beautiful princess with Jessica, his partner in protecting the princess.

Rosalie was glaring at him, "Haven't I told you that you that you should not kill needlessly?" her voice was like a hiss.

Emmett walked across the bridge towards the princess. The crowd along the sides made hushed sounds.

"To kill anyone who attacks is part of the warrior code, Your Majesty!" Emmett said.

"I never heard of that rule before." Rosalie replied coolly. Emmett sneered, "Aaa…Shaddup!"

Jessica looked at him in askance, "How could you talk that way to Princess Rosalie??" she exclaimed. Rosalie raised her hand.

"It's all right, Jessica." She said. Then she turned to Emmett.

"Why can't all soldiers be as good as Jessica?" she said sadly, "Why do you have to be that cruel, Emmett?"

"There are good soldiers and coup soldiers, princess!" Emmett replied in a defensive tone, "I don't care who I am going to kill. I want to be stronger that anyone else!"

"Very well, Emmett." Rosalie said, "After all, there is no one as strong as you are. You leave me no other option."

Rosalie summoned the powers of Diana and Emmett was already sinking in the light.

"Hey, HEY! Rosalie! Where ya takin' me??" Emmett shouted. Jessica was yelling at him to be quiet.

"To learn your lesson, Emmett." Rosalie replied with a laugh. Emmett was already mad.

"Rose, you can't do this to me!"

"Oh yes I can!" Rosalie said, "Oh! I almost forgot!" she muttered a spell and a powerful symbol was embedded in Emmett's forhead.

"What was that?" Emmett asked, holding his forehead.

"A curse." Rosalie replied, "I must warn you. Once you kill, your skills decline. Be careful!"

"Oh crap!" Emmett sighed as he was now sinking, "I'll get you for this!"

He disappeared in the light.

"I will see you soon afterwards, Emmett."

Country of Wales…

"Queen Esme…" the young blond man in wizard's robes said to the caramel-haired woman sleeping in a water chamber.

"I'm sorry I must leave. It's the best thing…for the both of us." He said sadly and muttered a spell. A white trampoline object appeared out of thin air and covered the water chamber.

"I promise Esme," he said,"things will work out for the both of us once more."

He raised his staff, "Now off to the sorceress!" he said, smiling and in a flash of light, he was gone.

Edward and the unconscious Bella appeared in front of a strange building (strange as in far off from the other buildings surrounding it) with a crescent moon perched on the roof. He saw a woman with hair as black as ebony cropped short and a complexion as pale as the moon. She was short, wearing a red gown, and Edward could think of her as a pixie.

The one beside the woman was a young girl, probably fifteen, with hair as bronze as Edward's but curly at the ends and brown eyes like Bella. She was also pale, as pale as the woman and him but she was taller than the woman by an inch or two.

"Welcome!" the short-haired woman said cheerfully, "Welcome to my shop!"

Edward realized it was raining as he was already soaking wet, "Where are we and who are you?" he asked.

The woman replied, "You're in Forks, Washington, in the United States of America." Then she started introducing herself and the girl, "I am Mary Alice Brandon and this is Renesmee Carlie Masen."

'Masen?' he thought in surprise.

"And your name is?"

"My name is Edward, Edward…Masen." Edward replied, "And this is Bella."

"You and Nessie both share a common surname." Alice said, "How are the two of you related?"

Edward and Renesmee were looking at each other eye-to-eye.

"We don't know each other!" both of them said in chorus. Both of them looked at each other again in surprise. Edward, as he was looking at the young girl, realized that she resembled a lot of himself, though only that her eyes were brown…like Bella's.

"I see." Alice said, "Then may I ask if my husband sent you here."

'The High Priest is her husband?' Edward thought in surprise.

"High Priest Whitlock sent me here, Miss Alice." Edward replied. Alice giggled.

"I thought so! Dear Jasper did send you here!" she laughed, looking at the moonstone ring on her left ring finger.

"And what is it that you wish for, Edward?" she asked.

"I would want to travel through dimensions to save my friend." Edward looked at the sleeping figure of Bella in his arms.

Alice approached Bella and touched her forehead. She shook her head.

"She has lost something very precious." Alice said darkly, "If she will stay like this, she will die!"

Edward buried his head in Bella's neck, growling in despair.

Alice looked at the surroundings.

"Finally they're here!" she said smugly.

A flash of light appeared and there were two men. One was a tall blond man in wizard's robes and the other was a burly man in an English nobleman's outfit.

"Welcome!" Alice said cheerfully.

"Are you the Sorceress of Time and Space?"

"Who the hell are you?!"

The two men said them at once. The burly man glared at the blond man.

"My name is Alice." Alice replied.

"Hey, where the hell are we?" the burly man asked.

"You're in America." Alice giggled.

"Ha! I also come from America!" the burly man said.

"A different one." Alice said, "What are your wishes?" she asked the two men.

"I wish to…" the two men said.

"…return to where I came from." The burly man said.

"…not return to where I came from." The blond man said.

The burly man shot daggers through his eyes towards the blond man.

"Tsk! Tsk! Oh dear. It's difficult." Alice said, "What are your names?"

The blond man stepped forward, "I am a wizard from the country of Wales, Carlisle Cullen." The blond man bowed.

"Just Emmett." The burly man said gruffly.

Alice closed her eyes, apparently reflecting on something. Then she opened them.

"Hm…you Edward, want to save your friend by travelling through dimensions." She said to Edward.

"Carlisle, you want to not return to your country and Emmett, you want to return to your own country." She said to the other two, "The purposes are different but the means are the same." Alice said. She turned to Renesmee, "Renesmee, could you get the two."

Renesmee nodded and went inside the shop.

"Of course, I'll be asking for a price." Alice said in a businesslike tone.

"For you, Emmett, I would require you your sword."

Emmett was outraged, "ARE YOU CRAZY?! I'm not going to hand over my Lightning Blade!" he roared.

Alice sighed, "Then in exchange, you'll be arrested and put into a mental facility."

"Mental-?"

"Well?"

"Aw…o'ryt!" Emmett thrusted his sword, almost hitting Alice's face, "But I'll get this back! I swear!" 'You pixie!' he added angrily in his head.

The sword disappeared.

"As for you," Alice turned to Carlisle, "The symbol at your back."

A obscure symbol appeared and also vanished like the sword.

"And as for you," Alice paused at Edward, "Are you sure you want to continue?" she asked.

"Yes!" Edward replied valiantly, "For the sake of the princess, I will!"

Alice nodded, "Very well. Your price is…"
Edward's heart raced.

"Your relationship with Princess Isabella Marie."

----(FLASHBACK)----

"Hey, Edward!" a ten year-old Bella came in the house. Edward let out a yelp of surprise.

"Bella?" Edward said, recovering a bit from the shock, "How did you come here?"

"I disguised myself!" Bella replied, showing her cloak and hood. Then, a middle-aged man came in, carrying a blueprint. He smiled.

"Ah…your majesty!" he winked at the young girl. Bella blushed.

"Please, just Bella, Uncle Charlie." She said in a small voice. Charlie laughed.

"Of course, Bella." He said.

"Uhm…could I take Edward out for a while?" Bella asked.

"Certainly. Just be careful!" Charlie nodded.

"Thank you!" Bella exclaimed, "Come on Edward!"

She pulled Edward by the arm and led him to the palace. They climbed the stairs.

"Where are we going, Bella?" Edward asked.

"Just wait!" Bella replied excitedly. Then they reached the top and they saw doves flying towards the sea.

Edward had to admit, the scenery was beautiful. The sea was like filled with jewels and ornamented by the doves flying towards the sunset.

"It's beautiful, Bella." Edward said quietly, flashing his crooked smile. Bella then smiled.

"I just wanted to show you Edward!" she said happily as the doves were now flying around them and then flying towards the horizon.

----(END OF FLASHBACK)----

Edward's face blanched, accenting his white skin.

"Even though you have collected every bit of her memory, her memory of you will never return." Alice said, "In other words, once she wakes up, she'll see you as a total stranger."

Edward remembered the time they were at the top of the palace, admiring the scenery of sunset and twilight. All of these will be gone in just a flash.

"I will." Edward's voice was quivering.

"Edward, are you sure?" Alice asked. Edward nodded furiously.

"I don't care if Bella will never have a single memory about me! As long as she is alive, I'm happy!" he said through gritted teeth, though it was clear (to Alice) that he was fighting back the tears.

"Okay." Alice said, a bit reluctant. Renesmee now came back with two fat and small furry animals. One was black and the other was white.

"Such cute animals!" Carlisle smiled.

"May I introduce Mokona." Alice said, "You will use the white Mokona, Edward."

"Uhm…can I use the Black one?" Emmett asked Renesmee.

"Uh…the black one is for communication." Renesmee replied.

"So," Alice became businesslike, "I have now granted your wishes. Edward, once you use Mokona, your price will be paid."

Edward stood up, carrying Bella, "Thank you for your time, Miss Alice." He said curtly.

"The pleasure is mine." Alice smiled.

Edward looked at Mokona, "Miss Alice, how could we use this….thing?" he asked.

"MAGIC!" the white Mokona squealed. The three men jumped.

"It talked!" Emmett exclaimed.

"Mokona will be the one to guide you through." Alice said, "Also I must warn you, in different worlds, there are existing forces of good and evil. There, you will meet people that you know in your respective worlds however, they are not the same people you know."

"And also...notice that the four of you have different clothings." Alice added, "It means that each of you came from different worlds and other worlds are also different in terms of clothing and culture. Be careful, then."

Edward nodded and when he was about to proceed, somebody called him.

"Mister Masen!"

Edward turned to see Renesmee.

"Please do be careful." Renesmee's voice quivered.

"Miss Masen." Edward said, "Just Edward will do."

"Uh…yes Edward. And Renesmee will do." Renesmee smiled shyly.

"Okay!" Mokona squealed. Then a portal appeared in its mouth. They entered the portal and disappeared with Mokona, leaving Renesmee and Alice standing in the rain.
