Ok enough showboating on with the story. Wow that cliffe made lots of people mad "Your evil" one reviewer said (that is an actual quote) MUHAHAHA
(Wow after that its going to be hard to get back into character.)
Ok on with the story
Disclaimer: I don't own twilight (I just wish I could own Little Brown so I could have a manuscript of the next two books)
I looked up, and to my surprise I saw seven very confused faces. I must of looked terrified because all of the sudden, a wave of calmness washed over me.
"Bella what's wrong," Alice asked, worried.
"Th…This," I stammered, and I handed her the paper. She scanned it quickly. Then turned to face me looking shocked.
She passed the paper around the room when Rosalie got it she shot me a glare and, of course Edward was very impatient. "WHAT DOES THE DANG PAPER SAY!" he roared.
The paper had just got to him he read it then started to mumble. "not again…no…no…never…not again." He looked ferverantly from one family member to the other his topaz eyes finally rested on me
"Bella, I will never let anything happen to you." He vowed.
"I know," I whispered.
"What should we do though?"
"Well, I'm not sure, but Bella there's something you should know." Edward said.
"What?" But I already knew.
"Yesterday, when Alice had the vision well…Alice why don't you tell her? He was still really stressed out.
"Well, Bella the truth is that what I saw was a woman with bright red hair trying to….well kill you. Do you know any adult that you met here that had certain….features?"
I felt a sudden impact. I was putting them all in danger again. I thought over her words and the letter. The woman knew James and the letter made it sound like they were together, who was it… Then I remembered, I broke though the mental block. The images of the meadow….playing baseball….driving in the Jeep...the catlike prowl of the three vampires. It was the female, Victoria.
"Edward!" I exclaimed. "I know who it is."
"Who is it?" Carlisle said softly.
"It's Victoria." They all looked at me, confused.
"Who?" Esme asked.
"Victoria!" I yelled. "It all fits. She knew of James. And from the sound of the letter it seemed that they were together. So she wants to avenge him. And she had bright red hair like in Alice's vision!" I paused and to my surprise they were all really confused.
Edward was the first to speak. "Bella and I speak for all of us when I say this. But none of us know who Victoria is."
I stared at him shocked. "How do you not remember her! Esme and Rosalie you were the ones who stayed back to keep an eye on her don't you remember?" They shook there heads.
I felt another wave of calmness wash over me. "Jasper cut it out"
"Bella, you need some rest," Carlisle said. "Edward take her home." He nodded.
I decided to go without a fight, because I really just wanted to be alone with Edward right now. We got into his Volvo and drove off at a maddening pace.
"Edward you have to remember."
"But Bella, that's just it, I don't. None of them do."
"It just doesn't fit. Do you remember Laurent?"
"Yes of course I do Bella. But Victoria, she's just keeps on drawing up a blank in my mind……But in Alice's vision…..she did say that there was something familiar about the woman."
Suddenly it all clicked. "Edward! I exclaimed. "That's it! It's her power. She can make people forget who she is!"
"But why aren't you affected?"
"Why can't you read my mind?"
"Ah I see your point. Well we better get back to my house. Use that fancy new cell phone of yours to call Carlisle and Esme." He smiled.
Then we turned around and raced back home.
Ta Dah. Well a little bit of a cliff-hanger. But nothing unmanageable. Hope you liked it.
