Okay, this chapter seems short compared to the one before it. I'm sorry. I'll try and make one longer for Christmas, but it might take a bit longer.
---------------------------------------------------
Alice couldn't finish her sentence and I knew it was ultimately something bad. She didn't say anything for 15 minutes and when she did she looked at me with the saddest eyes.
"Becca…" She couldn't finish.
"Alice, what is it? You can tell me."
"I-I can't. Becca you're going to…"
"Alice, would you like me to tell her?"
She nodded.
"Becca, Alice saw you dieing."
"Oh, is that all?"
They looked at me all with strange looks on their faces. I just talked about death like it was nothing.
"What are you talking about Becca, how can you say that?"
"I'm just tired is all. I really should get home, Charlie and Bella are probably worried about me."
"It's okay, we told your father that we found you and that you're staying the night."
I nodded my head thanking Esme and Carlisle, not wanting to talk much seriously feeling exhausted from everything that had happened that day.
Without a word Alice was leading me up the stairs and to a room that looked to be the guest room, if they had guests. The walls were black and there was a kind sized bed with a dresser next to it. The curtains were pulled over the window to block the sun that had already set, out.
She sat me down on the bed and sat next to me.
"Becca, I know this is kinda weird coming from someone you just met, but please don't go through with whatever plan you have. You didn't see it and you don't want to. It was horrible. Becca, please."
"Alice, I don't know what to do."
She did something that shocked me more than anything could, she hugged me. Her skin was cold as ice, but I didn't mind it. Right now my body was completely numb. I couldn't feel anything after a few seconds of contact.
"What do you mean, Becca?"
"He's after me, he doesn't need to find out about Bella. If he hurts her, Alice you saw her there on the floor. I don't think I could live if I knew I was the one who did that to her."
"Shh, it'll be okay. Just get some rest and we'll talk about it tomorrow, it's Saturday so sleep as long as you want, okay?"
"Yes, and thanks Alice."
"It's no problem."
The door shut with a soft sound and I knew that I had made a good friend in Alice. I laid down on the bed and got under the sheets, it was cold. As I laid their I couldn't help but think how Bella was feeling at the moment, or worse how Charlie was feeling.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Edward! Don't wake her up, she needs to sleep!"
"But we need to talk about this, and now."
"Edward Anthony Masen Cullen!"
"Mary Alice Brandon Cullen!"
This is what I woke up to, not that I let them know I was awake. Though, I was sure they would find out soon enough. I never was and never will be good at pretending to be asleep, especially around someone who could read my mind.
So far, though they didn't seem to have noticed that I was listening and trying to hold back the laughter as much as I could. As funny as their conversation was I couldn't help but let my mind wander. I slept perfectly and I couldn't tell if it was because I was so stressed out that I wasn't thinking about it or if it was because I was in the Cullens' house.
"We need to let her sleep, she needs the rest!"
"But she's already awake."
"She is? Becca are you awake?"
"Guilty."
I sat up, the mess my hair was in flopping in front of my face.
"Uh, where's the bathroom?"
"It's right there."
Alice pointed towards the bathroom and I thanked her as I closed the door behind me. As I took care of my needs I could here Alice, Edward, and what sounded like Emmett and Jasper talking-faintly.
When my hair was combed down and my face was washed- and pretty much everything that needed to be done was done I opened to the door and walked out to see everyone I had guess to be there, there.
"Hello everyone…"
"Hello!"
I walked over to the bed and threw the pillow at Emmett's head.
"What was that for?"
"I needed to get a laugh before we talk business, so what is it that we need to talk about then?"
"Well, first we'd like to talk about how you can see the future." That's Edward, straight and to the point.
"Honestly, I don't know. It's just been happening since I was a little girl. Nothing special about that."
"Is that all you know about that?"
"Yup, guys how long are we going to be here?"
"For a while."
"Okay."
"Why? Is there somewhere you need to be," Emmett asked with a smile on his face.
"No, should there be?"
The rest of the conversation I spaced out a bit, nodding my head when I heard the questions and asking them to repeat it when I hadn't. Alice had been looking at me curiously the whole time we were in the room and I could tell it was because I was acting kind of strange. I couldn't help but thinking about everything that seemed to be happening to me in the short amount of time I had spent at Forks.
"Becca, I have another question for you."
"What is it, Edward?"
"Do you know how to put a barrier around your thoughts?"
"Not that I know of, why?"
"Because, there are times when I can read your mind and times when I can't."
"That's interesting. I guess the closest thing to setting up a barrier is just wishing really hard that you won't hear what I'm thinking."
"That is interesting."
"Jasper, Alice, do you want to look into that?" Edward asked.
"Sure," They both said at the same time causing a smile to creep onto my face.
"What is it?"
"It's nothing Alice, it's just cute."
Alice and Jasper left in a second and I caught myself jumping back as they disappeared. Funny, I've only known them for a day and I already know they're vampires. I wonder if Bella will ever know.
My stomach let out a growl and I laughed nervously looking from Emmett to Edward.
"Heh, think I need food."
"You humans and your food!"
"Oh shut it."
I threw another pillow at Emmett hitting him square in the face and sending me into a fit of laughter. No matter what I threw at him he wouldn't get hurt, I knew that for sure. I don't think a vampire would get hurt from a pillow. Nobody would.
He, however pretended to be hurt. He placed a hand on his heart.
"Ouch."
We got to the kitchen to see Esme cooking food and I was pretty sure that vampires didn't need to eat food, I hope she didn't make that for me, she didn't have to go through the trouble.
"She actually enjoys it," Edward whispered.
"Here you go dear."
"Thank you Esme, you really didn't need to do this."
"It was my pleasure!"
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Aro, I need to talk to you."
"Yes, what is it Caius?"
"It's about Rebecca Swan."
"Yes?"
The two of them sat down on the chairs that went around the circle table that was placed on the right side of the room. It was dark, hardly any light could be seen, they were underground.
"Could you explain to me exactly why we need her?"
"She has powers, that in a human you normally wouldn't see. She's special."
"Yes, I've got that part, could you be more specific?"
"She can see the future, she block her mind so that I can't even read her thoughts, and can sense things."
"Sense things?"
"Whether or not their good, if they're actually coming, if they mean what they say, things like that. Imagine what she'd be like as a vampire!"
"I still don't think we need her."
"We will need her, Caius. Just wait, something's going to happen in the future and we'll need her. You'll see."
--------------------------------------------------------------------
"We'll see you at school on Monday Becca."
"Alright, good bye Alice."
I turned away from Alice and Edward who were in the silver Volvo. We had just finished talking about James, they insisted to drive me home, seeing as Bella's car had wound up back at Charlie's house. It turned out a lot better than I expected, I had imagined myself breaking down at the mention of him, but I didn't it's like I knew somehow that everything was going to turn out okay. I just knew it.
"Bella, are you home cause I-"
"Becca!"
I was shocked to see them all here; Tyler, Mike, Jessica, and Angela. Bella hugged me extremely tight and I couldn't help but laugh which caused me to lose my balance and send the both of us flying backwards.
"Heh, what's everyone doing here?"
"They were worried about you."
"Oh, sorry guys!"
We were all in the living room now, either on the couch or on the ground. Every one was having their own little conversations, after they had their share of bugging me. They were trying to get me to tell them why I ran out and how it was sleeping at the Cullens house, of course they knew Forks was a very small town.
"Can I ask you something," Bella asked as she dragged me out of the living room to the kitchen.
"Sure, what is it?"
"I just wanted to know two things; why did you run out and how did you end up sleeping at the Cullens' house?"
"I'll tell you why I ran out, but not right now. Wait till they leave. And the reason I ended up sleeping at the Cullens' house is because your car broke down and Edward was driving by, and it was closer to his house than to ours. He had to get home and said he would take me back here after but his mom insisted on me staying the night, and she called here."
"Oh. My car broke down?"
"Yeah, why?"
"It's just that this morning when I woke up it was already there."
"I think, maybe they went and got it and brought it here while you were sleeping. I'm not sure, I went to sleep early."
"Okay, we should get back."
She wanted to know, I could sense it. I can feel how badly she wants to know everything.
Can I tell her everything?
