Chapter: 8 Hope

Bella's P.O.V.

"What does this mean?" Alice asked with a hint of desperation as she stood directly in front of me. I looked into her eyes and saw a strong emotion I couldn't identify. I looked at Alice and then thought about Mary. Could Alice really be Mary? "No you left her to die!" The voice in my head yelled back

"I have to go." I couldn't think straight t as I ran around Alice. Memories were flooding me. All the ones I tried to forget were now coming back to me. I tried to run faster

I wasn't in the forest anymore. I was back in the asylum; in Mary's cell. I was treating all her injuries. All the bruises and cuts she had from those men beating her. She even had burns from the shock chairs. I remember Mary's face that night. It would always haunt me. She was trying not to cry but the tears still came. This night was the worst then any night before.

I was thankfully brought out of my memories because I ran into something, no someone. It was Esme. She caught and steadied me as I stumbled. Without really knowing I accidentally showed her my thoughts.

"Oh Bella, was that Mary?" She pulled me into a hug. I barely knew her but it was just what I needed.

"I'm sorry, I'm so sorry." I let the tears flow down my cheeks as she held me. I didn't deserve to be comforted. I had let my best friend down. I tried to move away but she wouldn't let go.

"It's ok, Bella, its ok."

"Please just let me go." As soon as she let me go I was running through the forest towards my house.

"Bella! Wait!"

"Alice, let her go. She needs time." Carlisle said. I ran faster. The sun was down and now it was beginning to rain. I reached my house in a matter of minutes. As soon as I walked through the door Melissa and Tyler were hugging me.

"Bella are you ok?" Tyler let go first but Mel was still holding on tightly.

"Bella I'm so sorry I attacked you." Mel finally took a step back but she still held onto my shoulders.

"It's ok Mel. I feel tired I need sleep."

"Wait, what happened? Are you hurt? Did you tell them?" Mel asked looking me over and stopping on some dry blood on my shirt.

"No, I just got a little cut." Telling them that someone kicked me wouldn't help the situation. "Yes I told them…I'm…" What else could I say, sorry? No, because somewhere inside me I knew I wasn't.

"Bella…How much did you tell them?" At first Mel's voice sounded mad but now she just sounded tired. But I wasn't paying attention; I was looking out of the window. It had started to rain, no pour down outside.

For the second time that day I was pilled into a past memory. I wasn't in my living room anymore; I was running through a forest to get Mary. That it was raining hard too. I was finally going to take Mary with me. I wasn't going to leave her behind again. As I came closer to the building I smelt another vampire scent that was quickly fading. I ran even faster.

I slipped through the doors of the building. Racing down the hallway, I could smell three unfamiliar scents. As soon as I made it to her room, I froze. The scene in front of me would always me the source of my nightmares. Her room door was torn open and inside it was also torn apart. The cot was broken beyond repair. Mary's clothing was torn and ripped; even the dresses I would always bring Mary whenever I could. There were shreds everywhere and there were even dents in the stone wall. The thing that scared me the most was all the blood. I took in a deep breath, I realized that I had been holding it, I could easily smell the three vampire's scent and Mary's blood, but I noticed there were other scents too. I ran to the entrance of the building again and finally realized why it was so quiet. The few guards that were there were dead. As I ran back to Mary's room I noticed that the rooms, basically cells, all around hers were quiet. I listened harder and heard their heartbeats, some were crying and some were mumbling prayers.

When I got into Mary's room I took another look around. The blood was all around the room. I looked up at the small window, that was placed high up on the wall, was broken and the edges were covered in blood.

A loud roar of thunder brought me out of my memories. Why was this place bringing up my most haunting memories? Maybe it was my punishment for leaving her behind; maybe I deserved to relive my worst memories and all this pain.

"Bella what's wrong?" Tyler had an anxious look on his face; so did Mel. I was starting to get really dizzy.

"I…I…" I tried to tell him it was ok and that I just needed sleep but I couldn't get my mouth to form words. Everything around me was starting to blur now.

"Bella!" for the second time that day I felt myself slip into unconsciousness.

-----------------------------------

Alice's P.O.V.

"So what are we going to do?" We had just come back from outside and we went straight to the living room.

"Well I don't want to go to their house tonight. Bella and her family need time to themselves but I want to talk to them soon. So tomorrow, Alice I want you to invite them to our house and everyone please be nice." No one else said a word so Carlisle and Esme went upstairs followed by Emmet and Rosalie. I finally looked at Edward, who probably knew what happen between me and Bella. "Pease don't saying about it. I just want to think about it." I saw Edward slowly look at the ceiling and then at the floor. He would keep my secret.

It bothered me that I even had a secret. There were no secrets in the Cullen family but yet for some reason I want to keep what I saw in Bella's head to myself as much as I could.

"What's wrong Alice?" Jasper kept looking between me and Edward.

"Nothing I'm just worried about Bella, that's all."

--------------------------

The next day at school I was eager to get to my 4th period class. I was the first one in class, again. I was already worried because I still hadn't seen the Bella or her family today.

As the bell rang everyone poured into the classroom. Any hopes that I had of Bella being here were now gone. The teacher started talking as I stared out the window. It had rained last night and there were puddles everywhere.

"I hope it doesn't rain again today." Lauren whispered to Jessica.

"Me too, it makes my hair all frizzy and makes everything outside look ugly." To me the rain was beautiful but listening to the other girls made me wonder. Did I ever hate the rain when I was human? It frustrated me that I couldn't even remember a single detail about my human life. It never used to bother me that I couldn't remember anything about my human life but ever since I met Bella I couldn't stop thinking about it.

Every time I tried to remember my past I always came up blank. There was nothing I could remember. I could only remember waking up. I had woken up in the middle of a dark forest dying of thirst. There was no one there waiting for me to wake up just darkness. No one there to tell to who and what I was. Why wasn't anyone there for me? Did anyone miss me when I was gone?

The school bell broke me from thoughts. I quickly got up and made it out the door before anyone else. I quickly found Jasper standing opposite of the door waiting for me. Thinking about my past lately also made me wonder what would have happen if I never had found Jasper all those years ago. I shuddered at the thought and ran into his arms. I had accidentally run a little too fast and made Jasper stumble backwards.

"I love you too Ali." Jasper laughed as he tried to steady us. I looked into his eyes and there was no doubt he could feel my love for him. There was no trace of humor on his face anymore. I reached up on tip toes and gave jasper a small kiss on the lips.

"I love you Jasper." We didn't say anything else; just looked into each others eyes foe a few more moments. When I finally broke the gaze I noticed that the hallway was cleared out of people.

"What brought that one Alice?" Jasper had a big smile on his face as he slid his hand into mine. "Not that I minded."

"I just…I was thinking about my past and I realized something." Jasper was suddenly quiet as I continued. "If it wasn't for my visions I wouldn't have found you and I'm so glad I did."

"I'm glad you found me too Alice, you saved me from being a monster." We started walking towards the cafeteria. We didn't bother even getting our lunch; we just went straight to our table.

"Hey guys, what have you been doing?" Emmet asked winking at me and Jasper. As soon I sat down I kicked his legs under the table. "Hey, I was just asking a question?" Rosalie just rolled her eyes at us.

"Bella and her family aren't here today?" Rosalie started "What should we do?"

"We should wait and see what Carlisle says." Edward said before anyone could answer.

I kept thinking about Bella. There has to be a reason why she didn't show up today. Maybe something happen to her.

"Alice" Edward stated in a warning tone. "I want to go see her Edward and I have a feeling you do too."

"What are you guys talking about?" Jasper kept looking between me and Edward.

"I want to go see Bella."

"We have to wait and see what Carlisle says before we do anything."

"Jasper…What if I went by myself?" No one said anything for a moment.

"No Alice, you can't go by self. " Jasper said looking directly at me.

"Don't worry Jasper, I'll be fine. Besides what if something happened to her?"

"Alice you don't know that. What if Bella's sister attacks you again? I can't let you be in danger again." Again, he was blaming himself for me getting attacked yesterday. Just then the bell rang and the others all got up leaving me and Jasper alone at the table.

"Jasper yesterday was not your fault. It was mine I shouldn't have gone alone, please don't blame yourself." I grabbed his hand and looked into his eyes. "It wasn't your fault."

"Yes it was. I should have been there with you. I could have protected you." He wouldn't look at me now. I was starting to get mad.

"Jasper I asked you not to come, and if you would have gone you could have gotten hurt."

"Alice I would rather be in pain then you have to be in it." He was looking at me now and I was staring into hurt eyes.

"Jasper-"

"No Alice, yesterday I felt so helpless when I saw you in pain and I couldn't do anything about it. I could feel your pain and I couldn't stop it. When Bella carried you in through the front door you were shaking in pain. You looked like a broken doll. It hurt me just to see you that way but what scared me the most was that I couldn't do anything to take away your pain. I wanted so bad to hurt, no kill the person that did that to you." We sat in silence for a moment.

I knew Jasper blamed himself for yesterday but I had no idea it was this bad. To hear him talk with so much pain in his voice made me so sad.

"Alice…" it was me couldn't look up. "Alice please look at me." So I did. " I know you can take care of yourself but I still feel like its my job to protect you and yesterday I felt like I failed my job; like I failed you." Everything he said hurt because I had caused him this pain.

"I'm sorry Jazz." I felt a wave of love and calm come over me. I wouldn't go to Bella's house by myself. I looked at him another moment and then started to get up. "Come on, we're going to be late to class." As we walked out into the hallway I saw Edward was standing outside waiting.

"Alice I need to talk to you." Jasper said a quick goodbye before he went off to his next class. Edward looked at me for a moment before he started to speak. "I know what you're thinking and just because Bella thinks you look like her Mary it doesn't mean anything. It could just be a coincidence."

"I know Edward." All of the sudden I was pulled into a vision. I couldn't see anything and I could barely hear the voices.

"What do we do Tyler? She still hasn't woken up yet."

"I don't know."

"Do you think the Cullens did something to her?"

"No, I don't think so. I mean they don't have reason too, at least probably not that they know of."

"You mean they probably don't know why we don't trust them?"

"No, I'm sure the Volturi don't want people knowing about us. They wouldn't like to look weak."

"Then what's wrong with Bella?"

The vision ended and I had no idea what to do. I looked at Edward and he looked just as speechless.

---------------------------------------

Melissa's P.O.V.

"Bella!" Tyler and I both rushed to catch her. "She passed out?!" I helped Tyler mover her to the couch.

"She was in pain and she was very exhausted."

"How do you know that Tyler?"

"We're twins Mel, the connection between us has always been intensified because we're half vampire. I just get this feeling about Bella sometimes."

"OK well what should we do? Should we try and wake her up?" I kept my eyes on Bella. This wasn't normal, Bella had never passed out; none of us had.

"Bella! Bella!" Tyler was gently shaking her "Bella!"

"Tyler please get a cold wash cloth." I quickly kneeled down by her head. Tyler was back by the time I had finished kneeling. I took the rag from him and started to press it to her forehead, her cheeks and every part of her face hoping the coolness would wake her up.

"Mel see if her shield is down." I looked at Tyler like he was crazy.

"No, I'm not going to do that I could hurt her." I couldn't bring myself to try.

"Mel you have to try, that isn't working." He pointed to the rag. "Mel please it might wake her up."

I took a deep breath and focused on Bella. I thought about the electric tingle that constantly ran through my veins. The way it felt to let the electric current loose. How when I did that I felt a sense of freedom. The current was running freely now, waiting for to release it. The use of my power was hard to explain. I t excited me and scared me at the same time but whenever I used I always had a sense of control.

I focused more Bella now and I let the tiniest bit of the electric current move from my body to hers, but when I let go nothing happened. Bella still had her shield up. I let out a big breath.

"Her shield is still up. What do we do now?"

"Let's get her upstairs. We'll have to wait and see what will happen." Tyler picked up Bella as we ran up the stairs. As soon as we were in her room Tyler laid Bella on her bed. We both just stood there watching Bella.

"What if she's hurt." He finally looked up at me. He came closer and pulled me into a hug. "What if I hurt her when I attacked her?"

"She'll be fine Mel. Bella is a strong person and besides she can handle your attacks." He laughed humorlessly.

"Ok." I walked over to Bella's dresser and pulled out a pair of pajamas I bought her when we came to forks. It was a pair of light pink sweats and a black long sleeve top.

"I'm going to change her clothes, ok"

"Uh yea sure, I'll just be down stairs." Tyler quickly left. I went to Bella's side and quickly changed her clothes and cleaned the blood off her arm.

Once everything was done I sat by her side on the bed. Why did this happen. Did the Cullens? Bella would've have told us if they did, but why was she covered in blood?

I reached over to Bella's nightstand and grabbed a pair of black cut off gloves. I carefully tried to put them on her without touching her hands. I looked at Bella for another moment. She didn't look sick but she didn't look like her normal self either. With a sigh I got up and went downstairs to talk with Tyler. As I started to leave the room I heard Bella yell.

"No!" Bella started thrashing around her bed. "No!" I was quickly by her side and when I looked up I saw Tyler on the other side.

"She's still asleep! Try and hold her down!" Tyler grabbed her left arm and left leg while I tried to do the same with her right side.

"No, I can't! No!" Bella started moving her arms and legs more violently. She managed to kick me off her and send me flying back through the window. I grabbed onto the sill, or what was left of it anyways, before I could fall to the ground. I could hear the glass fall to the ground as I pulled myself back in.

"Mel are you ok?" Tyler asked trying to hold Bella down. She had already knocked over her nightstand and lamp beside her bed.

"Yeah I'm fine." I rushed back to Bella's side and grabbed her and leg again but this time getting a better grip but I knew this wouldn't work for long because when I looked over Tyler I saw that he was struggling to keep his grip.

"Mel, you have to try again." It took me a moment to understand that he meant for me to try and use my energy to make her stop.

"No, I won't do that to her again."

"Mel it might be the only way to get her to stop." He tightened his grip on Bella. When I didn't move he looked up at me. "She's unstable right now and we need to get her to stop. You need to do it now Melissa!"

I took a deep a breath and tried letting the energy flow from me to Bella and then I saw her back arch just the tiniest bit. I

"Stronger Me, it needs to be stronger. Try using full contact so it will work better." I just stared at him.

"What?!" But he didn't have time to answer because Bella started to thrash more violently again.

"No, I won't leave! I can't leave her! Stop!" This time I was I was ready for it but Tyler wasn't and Bella was able to send stumbling back into the other wall. This time I wasn't scared. I climbed over Bella so I was straddling her. I had to make sure she wouldn't throw me off. I placed my hands on both sides of her face, which was now shaking back and forth, and let the energy flow from me to her. But she wasn't stopping, so I let a lot more energy flow from me to her. She immediately stopped thrashing. I quickly got of her. I looked up to see Tyler standing on the other side.

"Is she ok?"

"I don't, I used a lot of energy." We both looked down at Bella. Her breathing was slowing and now it just looked like she was sleeping. "What happened, why did she start thrashing around like that?"

"From what she said it sounded like she was dreaming about the time when we found out that Mary was …murdered." Mary was family to both Bella and Tyler. I had only met Mary a few times but we were still friends. "I'm going to go and clean up all the glass outside and make sure none of the neighbors suspicious."

"Ok, I'll clean up in here." Tyler was looking around the room, everywhere except me. I know he needed to be alone right now. Mary was touchy subjects for all of us even me. So I just let him go and started to clean up the room. While I was picking up the broken lamp and nightstand, Bella started mumbling.

"I'm sorry." There were silent tears falling down her cheeks. "I should have been there, I'm sorry." I got up and went to the bathroom and got a soft wash cloth. When I returned I wiped away her tears.

"Bella wake up, it's ok. Please just wake up." Her tears slowed to a stop but she didn't wake up. I slowly got and started to clean up the rest of the room.

By the time Tyler came up I had I cleaned up as best as I could.

"The lady next door was worried that we were fighting and was going to call the cops so I had to erase some of her memory."

"Ok, I cleaned up in here but we're going to need a new window." Tyler walked up wrapped me in his arms.

"I'm sorry about earlier."

"It's ok Tyler I know it's a touchy subject." I stepped out of his embrace. "What do we now?" He let out a big sigh and walked over to her desk chair and sat down.

"All we can do it wait until she wakes up."

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

It was 3:30 in the afternoon and neither Tyler nor I had left Bella's room. Bella had struggled a few times during the night but she mostly murmured. I only had to my power once during the night. I walked around the room and stood next to Tyler.

"I miss you, Mary." This was the first time she had spoken in a while. I looked at Tyler.

"What do we do Tyler? She still hasn't woken up yet."

"I don't know."

"Do you think the Cullens did something to her?" Would they actually hurt Bella?

"No, I don't think so. I mean they don't have reason too, at least probably not that they know of." He stood up and started to pace around the room.

"You mean they probably don't know why we don't trust them?"

"No, I'm sure the Volturi don't want people knowing about us. They wouldn't like to look weak."

"Then what's wrong with Bella?" The phone down stairs started ringing before he could answer.

"I'll get it." I was down stairs in a second. "Hello?" I picked up the phone before it finished the first ring.

"Hello this is Ms. Cope from Forks High school. Isabella, Tyler and Melissa have missed the whole day of school today." Without having to ask I knew she wanted an excuse.

"Yes Ms. Cope, this is Melissa. I'm sorry but Bella is feeling very sick. Tyler and I stayed home to help take care of her." I said in an innocent voice.

"Oh, well I'm sorry to hear that but you guys have missed quite a few classes." Her voice didn't have the tone as before.

"Thank you Ms. Cope and I promise we will make up for all missed classes."

"Very well then, I hope that Bella feels better soon and that I will see you Monday."

"Yes Ms. Cope." I hung up and was about to walk up the stairs when I heard a car come around our street corner and pull to a stop out side our house. I waited until their footsteps stooped at the door before I pulled it open. I knew who it would be before I even opened the door.

Before they could say a word Tyler was suddenly beside me. There was a slight growl growing my chest as I stared at them. I saw Tyler's hands curl into a ball as he stiffened.

I stared into his golden eyes as he spoke. "Hello I'm Carlisle Cullen."
