Alice's P.O.V- Dungeon
I tried to search the future to see what Morgan was planing, but she blocked it. I sighed, I hated being blind and she knew that. I laid my head against the wall and decided to think about Jasper. I missed him so much. I wish I could just be in his arms right now. Morgan had promised me that she would get us out of here, but I don't believe that she will. "Do you really have that little trust in me?" Morgan's voice said. I looked up at the door, and Morgan was leaning against the doorway with a smile on her face. "Let's go." she said.
"Wait, they just let us go?" I asked. There was no way that they would just let us go. Not without getting something in return. "Yea. I'm a very persuasive person. Now, here's my phone call Jasper and tell him we're on our way home." She said. With vampire speed I embraced her in a hug. "How did you do it?" I asked. "I'll tell you later. Let's just get out of here." She said.
The Volturi let us borrow a car that took us to the airport, which I thought was strange. On the plane, I took out Morgan's phone and called Jasper. "Hello?" His panicked voice rang through the phone. "Hey Jazz. We're on our way back. We'll be at the airport in about twenty-four hours." I said. I heard him let out the breath that he was holding. "Are you alright?" He asked. "Yes. We're both fine. I've gotta go, we're taking off. I love you and I'll see you when we get back." I said. "I love you too Alice." Jasper said. I hung up and gave the phone back to Morgan.
"Thank you." I said. She only nodded. The whole trip back very few words were exchanged. Morgan just stared out of the window of the plane. When we landed in Seattle's airport Jasper and the family were waiting for us. I ran, at human speed, to Jasper. He quickly embraced me. "I thought I lost you." He said into my hair. "Never." I said. "Alice!" Bella exclaimed. "I'm glad you're alright." Bella said as she walked over to me. "Hey Pixie! Glad you see you're alright. Thanks for bringing her back Kitty." Emmett said as he ruffled Morgan's hair. "You're welcome." She said simply.
Within the hour we were back at the house. Morgan rode with Emmett, Rosalie, and Damien while I rode with Jasper, Bella, and Edward. Esme and Carlisle were waiting for us at the door. "Girls!" Esme screeched when she seen us. "I was so worried." She said as she pulled us into a hug. Morgan didn't move, but I hugged Esme back. I shot a curious glance at Edward. He just shrugged his shoulders. "I'm glad you two are alright." Carlisle said with a smile. "Yea. Me too." Morgan said.
"Do you wanna tell us how you got outta Volterra without a fight?" Emmett said as he nudged me. "I didn't do it. Ask Morgan." I said. All eyes turned on her, "Well. You know. A little persuasion never hurts." She said. Emmett put her in a head lock, "That's my sister!" He said. Morgan smiled and elbowed him in the stomach so he let go. We all laughed and went back into the house. Jasper and I went up to our room.
Morgan's P.O.V.
"Thank you." Alice said to me. She looked relived and excited at the same time. Probably because she was going to see Jasper and the rest of her family. We didn't speak much during the flight. I stared out the window deep in thought. I needed to figure out how I was going to break the news to them. When we got to the airport, everyone was already waiting for us. Alice was by Jasper's side quickly. I walked over to the rest of the family. "I'm glad you're alright." Edward said. Damien eyed me carefully, "Are you alright?" He asked. I smiled and nodded, "Of course! Like they stood a chance." I winked. Emmett let out a booming laugh and Rosalie smirked. Bella ran over to Alice.
"Hey Pixie! Glad to see you're alright. Thanks for bringing her back Kitty." Emmett said as he ruffled my hair. "You're welcome." I said simply. I had to start cutting my emotional attachment with them now. I rode home with Emmett, Rose, and Damien. When Emmett parked the Jeep, Esme was already on the porch waiting for us. "Girls!" She exclaimed, "I was so worried." Esme said as she pulled me and Alice into a hug. I didn't hug her back though. "I'm glad you two are alright." Carlisle asked as he appeared beside Esme. "Yea. Me too." I said.
I waited for the question that was running through everyone's mind. "Do you wanna tell us how you got outta Volterra without a fight?" Emmett said as he nudged Alice. "I didn't do it. Ask Morgan." Alice said. All eyes fell on me. Great. "Well, you know. A little persuasion never hurts." I said. Emmett put me in a head lock, "That's my sister!" He said. I tensed when he said that. I was not his sister. I'm not apart of this family, not anymore. I'm just bringing Alice back. I repeated that mantra in my mind. I forced a smile and elbowed him in his stomach, causing him to let me go. We all walked inside of the house. Jasper and Alice went up to their room. I walked into mine, then jumped on the roof. Whenever I needed to think, it was my favorite place to be.
I was thinking of the Volturi when a cough brought me out of my concentration. I didn't need my telepathy to tell who it was. Edward sat down beside me. "Hey." He said. "Hey." I replied. "I read your mind. I know what you did to get out of there." He said. I shot him a glare, Shut up! Nobody knows about it. I don't want them to know. I'm just going to leave tomorrow night. I snapped mentally at Edward. If he said too much, the whole house would know. He sighed, You should tell them. He said.
"No. Then they'll try to stop me." I whispered.
"Morgan," He said, "We're all family, you don't have to do this. We can find another way." Edward argued. "You and I both know that's a lie. And besides, I made a promise. Well two actually and I intend on keeping them." I said. I let Edward read my thoughts about how I told the Volturi I would come back and about how I promised Alice that I get her back to Jasper. Edward was about to say something, but I cut him off. "No. Don't. Alice needs to be here with her family." I stated. Edward stood up and put a hand on my shoulder, "You're a part of the family too. Remember that." He started to walk away, "But if do want to go, we're all going hunting tonight." He added quietly before he returned to his wife.
I shut my thoughts from him and began to think. These people weren't my family. I was just living here. They weren't my brothers or sister. Carlisle and Esme weren't my 'parents'. I had no relation to them what so ever. I couldn't bare to face them though. Even if they thought of me as family, I had told Aro that I would return and I will. It'll keep them safe and that's all that matters. I stood up and jumped into my room and waited.
"Hey Morgan!" Alice chirped as she knocked on my door. "Yes Alice?" I asked. I was lying on my bed strumming my guitar. "We're all going hunting. Do you want to come?" She asked. Even though I didn't 'hunt' I usually went and stretched my legs. I shook my head, "No. I'm gonna hang around here tonight. I've got a new song to work on." I said. I needed to make it convincing. "Oh, alright. Good luck. I think Damien's coming so you'll have the whole house to yourself." She said before she left my room.
Within half an hour, they were all gone. I knew it would take them about an hour or two to hunt. I quickly started to pack my things. I grabbed my gym bag and dumped some of my clothes out of it. I placed my I-Pod, my notebook that held all my music, and a few other things. I ripped a piece of paper out of my notebook and wrote:
Dear Cullens,
I'm sorry to leave without saying goodbye, but I have to do this. If you want to know why I left, ask Edward. He'll tell you. Please don't come looking for me. It was my choice.
Sincerely,
Morgan.
I folded the note and put it on my bed. I grabbed my guitar and slung it over my shoulder. I was standing on the edge of my window when I heard someone walk into my room. "You're leaving?" Damien's voice asked as he read the note. "Yes." I said simply. "Just tell me why." He said.
I read his mind, he knew that there was something wrong. But then again, I didn't need to read his mind. He was my best friend, of course he would have known that something was wrong. "I made a deal. Me for Alice." I said. He walked over and embraced me in a hug. I laughed nervously, "I'm getting a lot of hugs today." I said trying to lighten the mood. "Just please be careful. I know that you have to do this. Just, be safe." He said. I hugged him back, "I will. I promise. And hey, you still have my number so it's not like you won't ever talk to me again." I suggested.
He only nodded gravely. He knew that I wouldn't be allowed to contact him, just like I did. "Goodbye." I said before I jumped out of the window. The last thing I heard from him was, "Goodbye."
How are the Cullens going to react to Morgan's note?
Review! :D
