In fate i'm drowning.


I looked at her then, as a vision flashed through her mind. She opened her eyes, not concealing the look of utter and pure fear that crossed her features. She dropped to her knees as Carlisle and Esme rushed to her side. She was looking straight into my eyes. Her eyes were explaining clearly what she didn't want to say.

I knew Bella was in trouble and she was in La Push, away from Alice's sight. But this wasn't just any kind of trouble, this was dire trouble.

"Alice!" Esme screamed, shaking her. I knew Bella was in dire trouble because I had that same look on my face before. But these past two weeks I came to love her in a different way, she's like my sister now. A twin sister that you know everything about. I still do love her. If I could cry, I'd cry from the look on Alice's face. Bella helped me love again, but I didn't love Bella as purely, irrevocably and perfectly as Alice did. I always found a flaw in loving her, a flaw that could get in our way. Alice doesn't look for flaws, she just loves Bella. Alice was still looking into my eyes and if she could cry, she would be sobbing.

Alice was going into shock and she wasn't telling us why.

"Alice, love!" Carlisle was now on the verge of screaming. I tried reading her mind but it was screaming one word, and word only. 'BELLA!' I mouthed two words, my face contorted into love and reassurance. I had to know what was going on. 'For Bella', Alice blinked and her mind became clearer. 'Bella is in trouble,' we're up to 4 words now.

"Stop!" I yelled at everyone and they all looked at me, taking a step back. I kneeled down in front of Alice. "Alice, please." I said pulling her into a hug. "This isn't going to help Bella, any. Please." She wrapped her arms around me, speaking 3 painful words just above a whisper, silencing everyone's unnecessary breathing.

"Victoria has her."


"I loved him." She said with so much rage I cowered farther into the corner, pulling my legs up to my chest, wrapping my arms around my legs and burying my face as deep as it can go into my arms. I need to get away.

She was concentrating so hard as I showed how to mix properly. It could've been like I was showing her how to save a life. I was just showing her how to make eggs, she watched, her eyes concentrating on everything as I pushed the eggs around the pan. Telling her just how I liked them. She glowed when I pulled a plate out and sat down at the counter, eating the eggs I just showed Alice how to make.

"Ooh! Now I can make eggs every morning for the rest of the trip!" She exclaimed with joy and I couldn't help but laugh.

It was only two weeks and two days ago. But it feels like a lifetime as I listened to the outraged vampire yelling at all the newborns she had in the room. It had to be a lifetime ago, I forgot how to laugh, I forgot how to smile. My body shook as I heard a newborn yell in pure rage, something somebody should never hear in their life and I've listening to it every 5 minutes. I screamed as I heard her voice right in my ear, and the 15 or 20 something vampires with blood curdling red eyes laughed hysterically.

"Your stupid boyfriend killed my love!" She spat out at me and I put my hand over my mouth to stop from crying. "And now he'll come, but I'll keep you in here forever. Don't agree that's way worth than death?" She laughed as I did start sobbing. How could this happen? I was just going to La Push to tell Jacob about Alice. Then this happened and pain just defined itself.


The dogs were in our house. Alice was standing silently next to me. I had my hand wrapped around her small arm. I didn't want her trying anything stupid.

"Please explain it again." Carlisle said with a hint of rage.

"We were out roaming." Jacob said a little annoyed, pointing at the other 4 boys and 1 girl in the room. "When two vampires with pure red eyes came rushing past us, taking only a double take. We followed them, only to find out it was a distraction when we ended up killing them." He bowed his head and took in a deep breath. "We heard a scream and ran in the other direction towards the road. We saw Bella's truck, idling, driver's side door open but no Bella. We ran towards the smell of the vampire, only to find her, a vampire with red hair running into an abandoned warehouse with about 15 or 20 vampires with her." He said, turning around as I caught a tear leaking from his eye.

"We tried to attack, but we couldn't with that many." Sam, the oldest dog finished for Jacob.

"The vampires you saw are newborns. They're faster and stronger than us but they're also naïve. They outnumber us, but Edward and Alice can catch an attack before it happens. You said the girl and the younger boy weren't with you when you were out roaming?" They all shook their head up and down. "Good, we can use you two to are advantage."

"It's all your fault, blood sucker." Jacob spat out at me and Alice moved for the first time, jumping at him but I put my arms around her, tackling her to the ground. Emmett growled at the dogs behind me. She stopped struggling and I let her go, she stood up and stood behind me again. The dogs were all looking shocked.

"Shut-up and just help us save Bella." She hissed at them with pure anger. I smiled, go Alice.


Maybe fate was just saving Jacob from all the pain. I was, after all going to tell him that I was now dating Alice.

"Look at me human." I didn't move. I screamed again as I was pulled up and painfully pushed into the wall. "You'll understand what revenge is." Then she picked me up and threw me into another wall. I landed with a big thump, pain shooting all over my body. I sat back up into my former position and started crying again.

"You guys are back!" Esme exclaimed, pulling Alice and I into a hug. Carlisle was grinning behind her and Edward was walking up to us. He stood in front of me, then smiled, a real, loving smile.

"Did you guys have fun?" He asked with a wink. My mouth dropped open, then I smiled from ear to ear. Alice came up and pushed him lightly.

"Lot's of fun, thanks to you." He laughed a genuine laugh.

"I'm glad! Bella, you don't mind if I borrow Alice so we can go hunting?" I laughed myself.

"Of course not!" Then I said my goodbyes and got in my old truck. My heart fluttering with happiness. I have Alice and Edward. Both of them. Everything is going to be fine.


The plan, if you want to call it that was worked out. We told the dogs not to let the newborns get their arms around you; they can crush you like that. We were all to attack, surround the building. Alice would somehow get Bella outside, where Seth would take her back to our house and protect her. The other dog was then to come in with me and surprise the newborns with another werewolf.

"I am not doing that!" She protested yet again. Alice and I growled at the same time.

"Alice, Edward." Carlisle scolded. "Why don't you take Bella to the house and Seth help us with the vampires?" She crossed her arms and pouted as Sam and Jacob gave her a deathly warning look.

"Fine."


Victoria left. Left me with these vicious newborns. They were all looking at me. A couple tried to move towards me more than once. A tall, blonde newborn was yelling at them. He looked young, only about 15. He must be the secondary to Victoria. They're doing it again, moving towards me. He growled but this time one didn't stop, she leaped towards me. The blonde new born tackled her mid-air. I started crying again. This is just too much.

I opened my eyes to the sunny room. Alice was sitting up in bed, staring at me. I looked at her and she smiled. The room was quite muggy, but I didn't mind it as her perfect bare form was smiling at me. She leaned down, laying her head under my chin. I sighed in ecstasy. Her cold skin was perfect in this temperature. She started tracing circles on my stomach.

"Thank you." She said.

"For what?"

"For that perfect night. For showing me what it's like to be human." Then she leaned up and kissed me.


We were running through the woods. The dogs on all fours like they should be but we stopped dead when we saw Victoria and 10 newborns standing before us. She smiled, raised her hand and pointed at us.

I looked up when I heard Victoria say 'it's time.' Then most of the newborns left, except for the blonde one and two others. Oh and of course the one that got her head ripped off by the blonde newborn, I'm sure she wouldn't be joining them. I wish I could tell Edward and Alice they had lookouts all around or at least I'm guessing. It's a good guess because there's always one going and leaving. I felt something touch my cheek, I looked up. A newborn. The blonde one is arguing with the other. I stood up and took a couple of paces back.

"Leave the human alone. It's Victoria's orders! She does smell delicious, but do not touch her!" I shuddered and fell back down the wall.

The island is so beautiful. We spent the whole day exploring it. Then we went swimming. Alice showing off some new swimming skills. She's so perfect. I'm sitting out here on the beach, watching the sun go down. She comes back out and lays a towel down. I move over to the towel and she lies down next to me. I look at the setting sun, then I look at her. I tug on her shirt and she lifts her arms, I lift the shirt over her head. I smile as she shimmers in front of me. She laughs and wraps her arms around me and I lay down on her.

Falling asleep as the sun sets.

I look up as I hear the blond newborn shout again and I gasp as I see Alice rip off his head. I hear another growl as a werewolf kicks one of the other newborns into a wall, as the other rushes at him from behind. He yelps as he's tackled into the wall himself. There he lies unmoving as Alice is dodging from the other newborn's wild and furious attacks. Alice needs to help Seth! I look around and see a metal pole lying on the ground. I grab it and run at the vampire attacking Alice.


Victoria somehow got away as I ripped and tore my way through them, Jacob at my side. We fought the newborns together, but by the time they were all wiped out, it was too late. I should've noticed Victoria wasn't there before. I nodded my head at Jacob and took off at a run. I could hear him following close behind.


But before I could get to that newborn, Victoria grabs me and throws me against the wall again. I whimper as I slam in to it, scuttling away as she slowly comes towards me. I stand up and swing the metal pole, but she just laughs and stops it mid-air.


The warehouse comes into view. This was her plan the whole time. I killed her lover, so she's going to kill mine. But what she doesn't know is she wasn't my true love. Bella's true love is in there with Victoria. We slam through the doors. Jacob goes over and helps Seth fight a vicious and good newborn and I run over and help Alice with Victoria.


She throws the pole away then grabs my hair yanking me towards her. She punched me in the stomach. I grunt and fall to my knees, holding back vomit. I don't know whether she kicked me or not but pain flares in my head and I feel a trickle of blood run down my cheek, where it isn't numb with pain. I don't know what's going on behind me, but I hear Victoria scream a bloodcurdling scream. I try to move, but as I push myself up, I collapse to the ground again.

Third day of the trip, I wake up and almost panic to see Alice nowhere in the bed. But as I sit up she comes walking into the room.

"Good morning!" She exclaims, holding her hands behind her back.

"Good morning?" I ask skeptically. I jump out of bed, but she just pushes me back down again.

"Okay. I now I feel about this and I'm not asking you for an answer right now. Take your time." She pulls out a small square box. This time I do panic.

"Alice –" But I find her lips on mine. Why was I panicking? She pulls away and leans down on one knee.

"Will you marry me?" I grab the box and open it. The ring is so beautiful. I kiss her again as passionately as I can. Then I put on the ring, laying my hand, newly equipped with the ring on her cheek.

"Yes." Her mouth drops open and I laugh. "If the wedding can wait until I tell everyone about us."

"I don't care about that. I'm still surprised you said yes." She pulled me close to her but before she can kiss me again, I pull slightly away.

"There's no way I could deny you. We belong together. Marriage is the perfect example of that. I denied it with Edward because I now realize he isn't you. You are the other half of my soul."

Then I kissed her again, putting my yes into that kiss. To prove she's all I need.
