Ello peoples! :D

I apologize that this chapter is so short but I felt that it needed to be its own chapter. I've gotten a bunch of reviews saying that this chapter caused readers to cry and even though it's hardly appropriate, I'm happy that people are responding to my writing. It makes me feel warm and tingly even if the way they respond is having salty water leak from their eyes. It's a response and that's good to hear! So yeah, I guess that's a warning to new readers, beware sad chapter! You were warned!

But yeah, thanks for all of the reviews! It's appreciated! Reviews also help me gain confidence and your ideas help me write. So hit the button! Please! I beg you! Hit it! I'll even triple doggy dare you too! Ha! :D

Well anyways, let's continue with the chapter! Enjoy!

Chapter Six

Alice's POV

I couldn't stop thinking about him as I ran across Canada.

His face was pulled into the front of my brain, but the memory didn't do him justice. I wasn't satisfied with a picture, I wanted the real thing.

As I replayed the visions and memories of my past, I swam and eventually reached the edge of land I wanted. Running to my specific destination, my clothes dried and I paused at a restaurant to make myself a little less run-down and a little more Alice-like.

I had finally reached my new future.

Volterra.

Jane met up with my outside of the city.

Apparently, the Volturi had a new member; a girl that had a gift that was supposedly was very powerful judging by the colour of her cloak. Her cloak was just shy of the colour black. But my cloak would beat her by a shade or two.

Jane and I ran into the city and took the sewer tunnels below the stone roads. The small blonde girl, with an almost black cloak and red glaring eyes, lead me into the castle, Jane was only a little taller than me but I was still cautious around her because of her painful power. Her twin, the red-eyed brunette, Alec, greeted us once we were inside; his power was even worse, it cut off all the senses. I also saw Heidi and Dimitri as I passed by.

When we entered the throne room, I was confronted by the three elder leaders, Aro, Caius and Marcus.

The three men were so pale that their skin looked translucent, their red eyes were glazed over in a film like mist and they were all dressed in long black robs. Aro had long straight jet-black hair; Caius had long straight white-blonde hair while Marcus had long brown hair with soft waves to it. Aro was obviously excited to see me as well as Caius, but Caius' eyes had a violent twist to them. Marcus was forever looking bored.

"Hello, Aro, Caius and Marcus," I addressed them.

"Ah, my dear Alice. We've been expecting you," Aro said in a sing-song voice.

Expecting me? It probably had something to do with that new member's power. But I didn't say anything, I just nodded.

Aro held out his had and I stepped forward to put mine in his. He went still for a couple moments using his gift; Aro could read every thought that passed your mind with one touch.

He sighed happily and dropped my hand. "The future never fails to interest me," he mumbled.

I just nodded again.

"Jane!" Aro called and Jane appeared in the room, holding a dark cloth in her arms.

The material was darker than her cloak but lighter than those of the elders. I put on the heavy cloth and clipped the Volturi crest necklace I was handed in place around my neck. I was luckily able to hide the chain necklace with the Cullen crest underneath my cloak where it would stay, as a reminder.

"Aro, I ask that I am allowed to keep my animal diet," I more told him than asked, looking straight at him.

"Of course, I am glad to see you still respect my dear friend, Carlisle's ways. Jane will take you to hunt when needed or someone will bring it to you," Aro said smiling.

Ha, you're still calling him friend after you nearly killed his whole family.

I just nodded again and Jane showed me to my chambers.

My new room was plain and dull. Soon I would have to ask Aro, excuse me, Master Aro, for permission to go shopping to get necessary decorations, furniture and clothes. Even though I was one of them now, I would still be me, but maybe less of the bouncy optimistic me.

A couple days passed, I was really really bored.

I shopped yesterday and didn't feel like shopping again today, I know, shocker. The shopaholic pixie was now the bored pixie.

Yesterday I bought a large packet of paper and a couple pens. I had decided to start writing to the people I loved, back in my old home.

I would send letters informing them on stuff like the forecast for the next week, changes in the stock market or upcoming events.

I also asked them how everyone was doing, asking them about school and everyday things. I responded to them but was extra careful not to give any clues as to where I was. I told them small things like shopping and swimming and lies to cover up my real life, I told them how much I missed them and how much I loved them. I got individual letters from each family member except him and her. Jacob even said a couple things to me at the end of each of Renesmee's letters.

What letter struck me to the core was one from Edward. It had been two months since I left home and the letters were still going back and forth.

This letter started out like Edward's usual "hello, how are you, how is life, I'm so sorry, etc." But the writing switched from his fancy, elegant script to a messy cursive I instantly recognized as his writing.

Dear Alice,

I won't start by begging you to return and forgive me because I know how much my stupidity hurt you. I won't babble on about your choice being my fault because I also know that you will deny it and go on to say it was all you. I still want to apologize and tell you I love you. I know you might have seen me through your visions but you also might have put of a filter to block me, I would understand that.

I have one question that will sound familiar to you, do you love me still?

I apologize if this is messy, I can barely keep from snapping the pen. Edward won't tell us where you are, he sends all of these letters alone. When I first found out about the letter sending, I won't lie to you, I was angry. But I soon realized that this is exactly what the Alice I knew would do.

The same questions go through my head everyday and most sound a little insane and I'm beginning to think like a mad man. I might snap at any remin-

Oops, there goes the first pen, which explains the colour change. As I was saying, I might snap. I must tell you that I'm keeping the diet and feeding, not as often but I'm alive, for you. You may wonder why I am writing so formally and calmly, well it's because I don't want you to know how weak I am, I want you to remember me as a fighter, someone who doesn't give up. I remember you, the bubbly energetic angel that was seated up in that greasy booth so many years ag-

There goes another pen. What I am trying to say is I want you to be happy. Live life, do as you please, and try not to scare too many people with your perkiness.

I love you, Alice and I miss you. Be happy and careful. Maybe one day your visions will bring you back to this family and I can ask for your forgiveness in person.

Sincerely, Jasper.

I would be crying by now if it were possible. But I noticed Edward's writing again so I continued reading.

I have translations of what the thoughts or responses were to parts of this letter that were going through his head at the time of writing this.

Dear Alice (means) ~ My Alice

I love you (means) ~ I desperately need you.

Do you love me still? (response)~ With all my heart I hope it's a yes

The same questions go through my head everyday and most sound a little insane and I'm beginning to think like a mad man. (means) ~ You never leave my mind no matter how much the memories hurt, knowing I might never see you again

I might snap at the reminder (response) ~ I'm already broken

I must tell you that I'm keeping the diet and feeding, not as often (means) ~ I only eat because they make me

I'm alive, for you (response) ~ I only live because I don't want to hurt anyone else, especially Esme, otherwise I'd be ashes

I want you to remember me as a fighter, someone who doesn't give up (means) ~ I gave up the battle as soon as you touched your left ring finger and pulled my dead heart from my chest

There goes another pen (response) ~ I wish the snap was my neck breaking

I love you, Alice, and I miss you (means) ~ I need you, my Alice, I'm hollow. Please come back

Maybe one day your visions will bring you back to this family and I can ask for your forgiveness in person (response) ~ so I can beg on my knees for you to take me back before I light the match and burn

Sincerely (means) ~ with more hope and love than I can comprehend

Jasper (means) ~ Your Jasper

I'm so sorry,

Edward.

As I finished, my chest was heaving with dry sobs.

So much pain.

So much sorrow.

So much hope.

I can't believe his thoughts, the words "pulled my dead heart from my chest…I wish the snap was my neck…otherwise I'd be ashes…light the match and burn…my Alice… your Jasper" cut me deeply.

I sucked in a sharp breath and my head snapped up as someone knocked on my door. I shoved the papers under the pillow I was laying on and struggled to compose my features.

"Come in!" I called and watched the door open.

A figure, I immediately recognized, stood in the doorway.

She had brown ringlets of hair that reached her waist, red eyes that flashed with cruelty and fake friendliness, she was short but taller than me and she wore a black and red dress that hung on her every curve and the skirt reached her ankles with black slippers. A single red rose was tucked into the wildness of her hair and she stepped into the room with a small sarcastic smile on her pale cinnamon coloured face.

"Por qué hola niña," she greeted me in a strong Spanish accent.

Please review! Who do you think it is? Tell me! I love to hear your thoughts!
