Are you there, Bella?

-Edward's POV-

On the car ride home from the airport, it wasn't any better. Bella was absolutely silent, and she refused to look at me. I couldn't care that much. I didn't want to see her face again, the sadness and pain.

Once we got back to the house, everybody was there to greet us except Jasper. I was glad he wasn't there. I didn't want to hear his thoughts, how much pain Bella was in. It was evident from her face and how still she was next to me.

"Bella, do you want to go shopping?" Alice asked. "A few stores are having sales, and you could use a few new outfits."

"Fine," she mumbled. I smiled, just a bit. Hopefully Alice would distract Bella, and make her happier.

"Love, I want to ask Alice something before you go." She didn't even look at me. I grimaced.

Alice and I walked into the next room. "Bella's a lot worse then I thought…"
"You were right in sending Jasper away."
"I don't think even Jasper could make her happy."
"Shopping is a good idea. Hopefully it will distract her. Just be careful. I don't want Bella out of your sight."

"I won't. Do you want me to get anything while we're out?" I laughed.

"No, thank you."

-Alice's POV-

As I drove to Port Angeles, Bella seemed to get worse and worse. She didn't talk to me, or even look at me. I didn't care that much except for that Damien's plan was working. Bella was getting more and more upset, and there was nothing we could do about it. I worried about my sister.

"Bella, I saw this cute outfit online, and I think you'd love it." She turned her head and stared at me.

"Bella, you know your family was going to die sometime. You shouldn't take it this hard."
"They were only five Alice," she hissed, "Why did that vampire take Emily and Sara?"

"I don't know why some vampires attack five year olds, Bella, but I do know why this one did. This one is pure evil Bella. You have to move on. He wants you to feel like this."
"What do you mean?"
"This group of vampires seek power. The leader hunts down powerful vampire, and he wants you. If you didn't feel the grief and pain, he would have no hold over you."
"Alice, I still don't understand." She seemed frustrated.

"Your power is blocking other powers. The only vampires standing in his way of power are the Voultri. Damien wants you because they won't be able to do anything against them."
