Ok so most of you are probably wondering where the hell I went to. I'm sorry for making you guys go nuts by not updating; a lot of family things have kept me from being able to do much of anything, aside from dealing with the family. But now I find myself with some actual lengthy free time and I'm gonna use it to give you guys a much deserved chapter. So without further adieu here's chapter 9. Thanks for being patient

Chapter Nine

Black blood

BPOV

"Alice!" I yelled as she sped down the highway myself and Emmet sitting in the backseat feeling very confused. What the hell had she seen? Better yet what was it to make her freak out?

"Aliiice!" I drawled out her name; annoyed for being ignored.

She turned to me "I'm driving you know" and with that she put her eyes back on the road, a growl emitted from my chest causing her to look back at me.

"Alice I know damn well that you could drive blind folded so don't give me such a shitty excuse."

She rolled her eyes at me and smirked.

"Don't roll your eyes and don't smirk at me. You saw something that freaked you out enough to leave the house without even telling Carlisle or Esme and yet Emmet and I are here with you in the car apparently running from something. If there's a threat shouldn't everyone know about it?"

She swerved the car to the side of the road stopping looking from me to Emmet.

"FUCK! I was so wrapped up in us and being all stoned, and then I had my vision…."

She trailed off then looked at me with a horrified expression, pointing a dainty finger in my direction.

"You! Look what you did! You get me stoned and I forget to take the rest of the family!"

I looked at her wondering if she heard what she just said; Emmet sure did as soon as the words left her mouth he burst out into a gut wrenching, laughing fit.

She glared daggers at him though he didn't notice; I tried to hide the grin on my face, biting my lip didn't help. She looked at me like she'd kill the both of us if she had to, to make us shut up; I looked at her eyes and couldn't help the giggles that came; they were blood red.

"Oh my god I swear if the two of you don't stop you will be hurt in the worst ways imaginable!"

"Alice!" I said between giggles "Just look in the mirror will you" I started to calm down as Emmet was doing. She looked in the mirror and I saw her grin just a little; I ran my hand along her arm getting her to look at me.

"I'm sorry Ali but your eyes are so red! And do you realize when you said earlier?"

She looked at me with an expression that could only be taken as "Ok I'm not that stoned."

I took her hand in mine.

"Ok, ok I'm sorry. Forget I said that but can you please fill us in? I mean being in the dark isn't fun unless there's an activity to do."

Emmet chuckled; Alice sent him a glare telling him if he laughed again he'd be in for it. He grinned back; putting his hands behind his head, relaxing in his seat.

"Oh come on Ali you can't blame me for laughing, she comes up with good on liners. Hell everything she says is a one liner; you could write a book about them!"

She looked from him back to me; eye's narrowing looking for some justification on my part. I simply put my hands up and did my best Apu voice.

"I don't know, I don't know."

"Bella!"

She punched me in the arm, she went in for another punch but I caught her hand lacing our fingers.

"Ok, ok truce I'll try not to say anything that's amazing anymore! I'll just be simple and boring is that what you want?" I yelled at her jokingly.

She looked at me and smiled, Emmet in the back seat laughing at the display in front of him.

"You're lucky your cute or I'd of killed you by now…..literally"

I smirked raising an eyebrow "Literally"

Emmet brought his face up front looking between Alice and I.

"Ok enough with the jokes, Alice give us the down low. Mossing back here is all fun and what not but I'm kind of interested in why were still sitting in the car; acting like we have something to be afraid of."

She sighed looking at the two of us.

"Alright"

APOV

Good looorrrddd she's infuriating she, I actually think is worse than Emmet! And that's saying something because Emmet is the biggest baby of anyone I've ever met. I do have to tell them what I saw, it was so strange I don't even know how to make sense of it but Bella was the center of everything that happened; that I know for sure.

"Ok well it was weird; everything centered around you Bella, almost as if you controlled everything that happened and yet it was as if you had no control at all…It's hard to explain, the wolves were involved though; there were three of them on one side of you and three on the other. There was this force that I felt, pure power like I have never experience before; I don't know if it came from you or something else but what I felt wasn't good. It was so intense…Now that I think about it; it doesn't make much sense to run away, I don't know what were running from my instincts just told me the situation was not a good one."

I think I explained that pretty well it exactly what I saw and felt but what does it mean? I hate not knowing what my own visions mean!

Bella sat back in her seat deep in thought; did she know what it meant?

"Bella?" I asked her quietly causing her to look up at me tilting her head to the side.

"Yeah Alice…"

"Do know what this is? What's coming?"

BPOV

I looked at Alice endeared by her demeanour. I sighed trying to figure out if I really did know what this all meant.

"Well I think I have a good idea of what's happening; you know how I told you that I have to unite the Wolves' and Vampire's?" She nodded her head "Well I think that maybe doing it is going to be harder than just shaking hands, Jake told me that Sam doesn't believe that we should be united and he'll do anything to make sure it doesn't happen. As for the power you felt I have no idea what that is."

She nodded her head sitting back thinking. Emmet looked between the two of us slack jawed at what he'd heard.

"Ok wait a minute…Your saying that you're some like ultimate-of-the-universe-super-vamp, with the power to unite sworn enemies?"

I nodded, grinning.

"Yes I am; you may bow"

He laughed and shook his head.

"Sounds like some kind of bedtime story you tell kids to convince them that anyone can get along but if Alice had a vision, I guess it is true."

I chuckled.

"Your damn right; the thing is what are we gonna do about it?"

Alice piped up from her seat.

"I think we need to speak to your friend Jake; he might be able to tell us something or better yet help us."

Emmet looked incredulously at Alice; not believing what he was hearing.

"You mean you want to go to La push and talk to the dogs? Are you nuts?"

I looked at Emmet, gesturing to myself

"Um hello! Ultimate-of-the-universe-super-vamp here. I'm pretty sure we'll be fine; don't worry Emmy I'll protect you if you need it."

"I don't need no protection, my ninja skills are strong"

I looked at Alice with an annoyed expression; pointing my thumb in Emmet's direction.

"If he starts moving his mouth without talking at some parts and talking at others; I'm throwing him out of the car…literally."

Alice turned the key revving the engine.

"Fine by me."

"Hey!" Emmet whined in protest. "I can hear you guys you know; always talking about me as if I'm not even here." He rambled on pouting like a child.

I looked back at him smirking.

"I'm sorry what did you say?"

He tried to make a swipe at me, which I expertly dodged.

"Do I have to separate you two?"

I looked over at Alice still dodging Emmet.

"Well he started it!"

"I did not!"

Alice swerved the car making me hit my head on the dash board and Emmet go ass over teakettle into the trunk of the Jeep. I shook my head glaring at Alice while Emmet poked his head up from behind the backseat; burning holes into the back of Alice's head. Alice flipped her eyes from me to the rear view mirror.

"There…that's much better"

I sat back in my seat smirking; allowing her to drive to La push in silence.

'Bitch' I grinned at my inner self

'Yeah but she's my bitch'

I grinned again

'Agreed'

Alice caught me out of the corner of her eye, poking me in the rib

"And what are you grinning at?"

I feigned innocence.

"Nothing."

She smiled and looked to the road.

"Riiiggghht"

I went back into my own world; giggling at my inner monologue. I decided that being quiet was boring and needed to do something about it, so I blurted.

"Where's ma bitches?"

"Aint nar notta bitch!"

I looked back to see Emmet sitting in his seat again, grining from ear to ear we high fived each other.

"Epic"

"Obviously"

Alice scoffed.

"You two are like the plague"

I couldn't resist my next sentence.

"And isn't it lucky for you that you'll never die from being around the two of us."

Emmet high fived me again.

"Oh my God!"

We laughed again, quieting down and staying quiet. Can't wake the sleeping giant.

'Ha ha…giant, funny cause she's like a midget'

I grinned to myself.

'Good one'

'Thanks'

'Is it weird to give my inner self props?'

'Of course not!'

'Ah ok good'

Just to show my appreciation I fist bumped myself, forgetting that I had others around me.I looked up to see Alice and Emmet looking at me.

"What?"

Alice rolled her eyes, smiling at me like I needed some mental help.

"Nothing sweetie, nothing at all"

At the border…

"Bella I got your message what's up?"

We were standing at the border talking to Jake, I explained everything Alice had seen just the way she'd explained it to me. By the end of it; Jake looked as confused as Alice had when she explained it to me, maybe he wouldn't be able to help us after all.

"Well Bella, I might have an idea of what this might be but we need to do a test to see if I'm right."

Alice and Emmet looked at me like I should know what he's talking about. I shrugged my shoulders looking at Jake.

"Well I'm good at tests so what is it?"

He looked down at the ground.

"Oh come on I promise I won't fail"

Suddenly Jake grabbed me by the shoulders, taking his nail cutting me across the neck. The second he touched me Alice lunged at him but the damage was done. Emmet held Alice back from ripping Jake apart, though I'm not sure why the stupid mutt cut me and now I was feeling dizzy and hot and pain, searing pain.

"I'm sorry it has to be done this is the test, it's the only way I can be sure!"

Alice struggled in Emmet's grasp yelling at Jake.

"What the fuck kind of test is that! Look at what you did to her!"

I fell to my knees holding my stomach as I felt hot liquid drip down my neck and chest onto my stomach. I touched my neck and brought my hand in front of me; it was black, like ink. I groaned as another shot of pain made me put my head to the ground, while I held my stomach.

"Ahhh what did you do to me?"

Emmet piped up still trying to control a livid Alice.

"Dude really this isn't cool what did you do to her?"

Jake looked at me with wide eye's it was like he was in awe of me or something, in awe of what, the pain?

"DUDE!" Emmet bellowed; causing Jake to look away from me "What is the point of this!"

Jake looked at the three of us and muttered two words.

"Black Blood."

He stared at us looking like he didn't believe what he was seeing; well I sure as hell believe it this hurts like all hell. Who gives a shit about Black Blood?

Ahh it feels good to get a chapter out, I hope you guys enjoy this one; I know I enjoyed writing it. I'll try and get more chapters up. R&R Please
