Alex's POV
"What do you mean she's gone," I questioned when Alice greeted us outside. I won't believe what she was saying. She couldn't be telling the truth. Kim would never do that. She wouldn't!
I quickly ran past her and upstairs. Once I reached her room, I started looking for her, but I couldn't find her at all. I sat down on her couch in shock. I couldn't believe that Kim had done this. Why would she leave her family? Where would she be able to go? She had no one else besides us. How could she be so stupid!
"We weren't able to find a scent or anything," Jasper explained. "She must have used her power to get away without us knowing."
"Where would she go," I growled as I stormed out of the room.
"I know where," Alice stated before she grabbed my arm and dragged me to her car. Then we were off.
Kimmy's POV
It's been an hour since I've ran from the house, and I knew that I was almost there. I had to use my power for part of the way because I didn't want them to stop me. I had to see how she was doing. It was tearing me apart in side not to know. I had left everything behind so no one would stop me, but I wouldn't doubt if Alice would know what I was doing since she had visions. I had put it down about ten minutes ago, so I wouldn't doubt if she already knew where I was going. She'd probably take a plane though really.
I was soon in La Crosse. It didn't take long to get where I wanted to, but I had to dodge a lot of trees where I planned on going. I hated that I had to run up the bluffs also. They could get so annoying, but they were beautiful at the same time.
After awhile, I was finally at my old home, but it was totally different then I remembered. I decided to look in my mom's bedroom, but my mom wasn't there. It was some strange couple. They weren't supposed to be there, were they?
I decided to go see my father since I didn't know where my mother was. It saddened me that she had moved, but I guess it was for the best. I wanted to be able to see her to know that she was alright. I wanted to do this many times before, but I was still a newborn. I didn't want to lose control when my mother was still human. I saw the affect it took on Alex when he accidentally killed that family, and he's still affected by it today. I know that he tries to hide it from me, but sometimes I sneak into his room to see how he's doing when I'm using my power when we are alone. He's expressions were heart breaking. I knew that he looked up to Carlisle and his strength. I wouldn't doubt if he wanted to be like him one day. I figured out that one day when I saw that Alex went into Carlisle's office. I used my power and saw that he was reading Carlisle's books with interest.
I was soon at the gates of the grave yard, and I jumped over them. I knew that no one was around here, just by the scents, so I didn't have to be too careful. I decided to walk over to his grave instead of run. I didn't want to be there in a hurry because I knew that he wouldn't hear me in the first place, but he would always be my father, so I always wanted to know if he was alright or not. That question I could never know. I knew that if there was any kind of heaven or what not that he would be watching over me, but I never would be able to know for certain.
When I arrived at my father's grave, I stared in shock at the grave next to his. It wasn't just my grave, but it was also my mother's. I felt my knees give in on me as I dropped to the ground. I couldn't believe what I was seeing before me. I never imagined that my mother was actually dead. It just couldn't be. She was healthy when I left. Nothing could have happened to her in two short years, could it?
All of the sudden, sadness drew over my body, and it shook as my sobs grew. I put my knees to my chest, and I dry sobbed over my mother who I had just found out had died. No one was there for me, and I felt so utterly alone. I knew that my mother wasn't going to live forever just like I was, but I never imagined that she was going to die this soon.
After what seemed like eternity, I heard running in the distance. I didn't move from my spot as I stared at my mother's grave with complete depression. It stopped right behind me and I heard a sigh of relief.
"Kimmy," Alex sighed as he knelt down to where I was. I didn't know if he saw the grave or not, but I imagined that he did when he followed my gaze. He gasped as he stared at what I was looking at. "Oh, Kimmy." He picked me up. I held onto his shirt as much as I could as I dry sobbed into his chest. He didn't seem fazed by it at all.
"I'll call the family to let them know that we've got her," Alice stated. It was quiet after that, so she probably went her own way. After a couple of quiet minutes, Alice stated, "There is a plane going home, but it's going to take about four hours before we actually leave. Do you want to wait, or do you want to just run home?"
"I think running home is the best opinion," he thought. We were soon running through the trees. No one spoke as we ran home, and the only sound that was made was by my sobs. I knew that they were concerned about me, but I needed this. I wouldn't be able to let go if I didn't cry. It's the only way that I would be able to do this.
After a couple hours we were home. My sobs were still continuing. They ran outside when they saw us. Jasper went to Alice immediately, yet he didn't touch her because you could see love in their expressions.
"How's she doing," Carlisle questioned when he came over at us. Nothing was said for a little bit.
"I'm going to take her to her room," Alex informed everyone as he started into the house. No one spoke to me as I continued to dry sob as we went. Esme's concerned expression was the one that was close to me though.
"I'll stay with her," Esme stated as we came into my room. Alex shook his head. "She's going to need another mother by her, Alex. I'll stay." He hesitated before he left. Esme sat on the couch and put my head in her lap as I continued to dry sob for my dead mother.
