Chapter 9: Searching

APOV

We were racing now, me and Jasper, to find Edward. We were following his trail when I had another vision, they seemed to keep coming today. But unlike the others, this vision had nothing to do with anybody in my family and could be completely pointless for all I knew. It was of a red-headed woman, another vampire, with golden eyes. She was smiling down and said three simple words, "You look beautiful." Then the vision ended.

That puzzled me a lot. Who was that woman? I'd never seen her before, why would I all of a sudden have a vision of her for no reason?

"Alice?" Jasper looked into my eyes, "What is it? What do you see?"

I stared at him for a long moment before answering, "A red-headed vampire. She was vegetarian like us and she was looking down and said `You look beautiful.` It was weird though. I was seeing it from someone else's point of view because she was leaning over me. It doesn't make any sense. I'd have to know the person very well and have seen they're future many times to have seen it from their point of view."

I shook my head, as if to shake it all away, "Come on, we need to go find Edward before he does something stupid. We can figure this out later."

Jasper nodded and we took off running in the woods again.

About an hour after my vision, me and Jasper couldn't continue searching for Edward because his scent ended. It ended at the airport. The biggest airport and Edward was not in it anymore. His plane had probably already left. I tried searching for his future but came up with nothing other than him sobbing quietly to himself on the plane. This frustrated me to no end. He was blocking me out! I sighed and turned to Jasper, who was staring at me in confusion, "I can't see anything apart from him sobbing on the plane. He's blocking me out somehow so he's obviously up to something he knows we won't like."

Jasper sighed and said, "Ok. We've done our part for now. Let's just wait and see if he calls, and wait and see if you have any vision's that could mean something to us."

I nodded and we ran back home.

About 2 minutes before we would have arrived back at the Denali clan's home, Jasper took off in another direction to go hunt. I said goodbye and ran home. Once home, I explained to Carlisle and the others where Edward's trail had taken us and how he had stopped me from seeing his future. I was just walking upstairs to read when Carlisle stopped me.

"Alice," he said hesitantly.

"Yes Carlisle?"

"We're going back to Forks next week. Jasper seems ready enough and we want to go back for Bella's funeral. I assumed you'd want to go."

I nodded and without another word turned and walked back up the stairs and into the room I'd been sharing with Jasper. Just the mention of Bella's name sent my head spinning. I still couldn't believe she was gone.


I know it's a very short chapter but I've done a double update.

Thank you for staying with me through the story so far even though I'm not being very good with the updating.
