Everyone just kind of stood there. I think nobody really knew what to say to the family that they just kind of ran out on. So me being the spunky girl I am decided to do it for them. I grabbed onto Edward's hand and started to drag him up to the door. I looked over my shoulder to make sure that Bella and Jasper were following behind. I went running right through the door and yelled "WE ARE HOME!"

In the blink of an eye Esme, Carlisle, Rose, and Emmett were right in front of us. I threw Edward at his mother. I looked around the room. On the stairs Alice stood looking down at the scene. I looked over my shoulder at Jasper and Bella who were holding hands. She was looking at their hands and I could almost see her heart break even more. She looked at me and turned to go back to her room.

I turned my attention back to what was in front of me. Esme was hugging Edward tight to her. Then she would push him away just enough to yell at him a bit and pull him close again. I couldn't help chucking at the sight. She really was just like their mother.

Emmett and Rose were hugging Jasper and Bella. Emmett picked Bella up and threw her over his shoulder. "Emmett put me down!" Bella yelled playfully at him.

Rose was standing next to Jasper laughing at her silly husband. She looked to Jasper and said, "You know it is really boring around here without you cowboy."

Jasper looked surprised, "I would never have guessed that. I missed you all so much."

She punched his arm, "Then you better never run away again you jerk."

He hugged her again, "I won't sis. I promise."

Carlisle came over to me and leaned against the wall with me. He looked down at me and smiled, "You know I can never thank you for what you have done for my family."

"They aren't just your family Carlisle. Jasper has been like family to me for decades. The rest of you are just the icing and the sprinkles to the cake."

He laughed, "You know you are always welcome here Scarlet. You can be like our daughter too if that is what you want."

I smiled, "My real family died long, long ago. Thank you Carlisle, but I don't think I could ever call someone mother and father who were not them."

"I can understand that. Although I still want you to know you are always welcome where ever we are. You do not have to be such a stranger."

"I will keep that in mind. Also the same goes for you guys. If any of you want a year of normalcy you can always come visit me. I got potions galore to help you look human. Speaking of which, I will be right back."

I left Carlisle to welcome back Bella and Jasper. I walked outside and made the boxes levitate towards the house. As I was about to go through the door I heard a noise by the forest. I looked over my shoulder and locked eyes with Alice. She had a large suit case in her hands. Alice broke the stare first and bolted into the forest.

I sighed. She was on the run from everyone. I turned back to the door and painted on a smile. I took the two crates into the house. "Surprise for you guys."

Emmett came bounding over to the crates like a little kid on Christmas morning. He beamed at the crates, "What is it Scarlet?"

"Well this one is full of potions to change your eye color. You can pick any color to make your eyes."

"Cool!" Emmett bellowed.

I stepped in between the crate and Emmett as he went to pounce on it, "Ah ah wait a minute. Each potion lasts for four hours. There is enough for everyone to have three each day. One potion, one eye color. So if you use another before the first runs out you only have the four hours from the one you just took, so use them wisely."

"Alright, alright." He said practically shoving me out of the way. He pulled out one of the potions and drank it. He closed his eyes so I could tell it was working. When he opened them they were a wonderful blue color. "Rosie, what do you think?"

She walked over to him with an awed expression, "They are blue. I haven't seen them that color since I found you in the forest. So wonderful." Rosalie spun around and hugged me tight, "Thank you so much Scarlet. I thought I would never see his eyes like that again."

"It's no problem Rose. Now I think you will like the potion that's in the other box." I opened the crate. "Now these make it so you do not sparkle in the sunlight. So you guys don't have to avoid the sunnier days. Also this will help if you guys decide to move to somewhere that is not so gloom and doom like Forks."

"We can go to places that have not so much cloud cover. We can walk out in New York when it isn't raining!" She hugged me again, this time a little tighter.

When she put me down I laughed, "Yes Rose you can go where ever you want."

She ran over to Emmett and started to talk about trips to different sunny places. "Now everyone remember that potion lasts for twelve hours. So you really only need to take it once a day. Never take more than nine a week. If you take more than that you better call me."

Esme looked worried, "What will happen if you take more?"

"Well you go into a feeding frenzy. For you veggie vampires that could be really bad and lead to some bad things happening. But one antidote potion and a two days of not taking the potion you will be fine." The whole family started talking about trips or how everything had gone. I didn't think anyone had even noticed that Alice had left yet.

I went to go towards the stairs, but Esme pulled me over to her. She held my face between her hands, "Thank you so much Scarlet. You have done so much for this family."

"It is nothing Esme. Potions are my passion. And this is just the start of what is to come. Just remember things will seem like they are going south. Have faith that it will all get better and it will. But hey I am going to go talk to Alice."

I walked past Esme and walked up the stairs. I knew she was already gone, but I didn't want them to know. I walked into her room and popped out of the house. When I reappeared I was hanging upside down from a tree in the middle of the forest miles from the Cullen house. I counted to three and let go. The next thing Alice knew I was holding onto her back. She barley even let any kind of acknowledgment that I was there. When she finally slowed down and came to a stop she threw me off of her back.

She glared at me like I was trying to kill her. I put my hands up in surrender, "Where you headed Alice?"

She had venom tears on the edge of her eyes. She just looked at me with hated and sadness in her eyes. A few seconds passed before she spoke, "You ruined everything."

"I did not. Alice you and I both know that Jasper was not your mate."

She threw her bag down. "He may not be my mate, but I still love him!" she screamed at me.

"I know you do Alice. If you do not let him go you will never find the one to make you happier. Alice just come back to the house for a bit."

"And what will happen then, huh Scarlet? You and Jasper going to rip me apart and burn me to ashes?!" She yelled.

"No you will talk to your family and then come back to my place with me. We will be far from Jasper and your family just like you want. This way they won't worry and won't try to get you back. Trust me Alice I have seen far into what happens if you leave. Some members of your family will search for you. They will run into vampires who will kill them Alice. If you come with me they'll know where you are and will be fine."

She sank to her knees, "What will me going with you do for me?"

"As for what is in it for you Alice. We can work on your gift of sight. I know some people that can teach you how to look into the future better. With my help you will be able to see both paths of someone's decisions. Also let me just say you will have your mind be taken off of Jasper. You may not find your mate, but I can guarantee you will find some nice guys near my place. Plus now you will only be about four hours from New York city. So we can go shopping when ever you want. And if it makes you feel any better we could always pop Rosalie in too so she can visit or come shopping too."

She was still looking at the ground when she mumbled, "I'm so lost Scarlet. I am trying to see how things change with my decisions, but it is just a blur. I feel like everything just went so wrong. Once before I met Jasper I saw our life. We were living with the Cullens. Jasper and I both had our mates and the entire family was smiling. There was a calender behind one of us. The year was 2002. It is 2013 and we are so far from that vision. If I had thought that we would have come this far and still be so unhappy I would have staid alone. This pain is too much."

I got down on my knees in front of her. I put my hand under her chin and pulled it up. She looked at me and I smiled at her, "Alice most people are lost. Even the people who think they are not are lost on a path the never see a head of them. That is life. The fact that you see the path in front of you is so much harder. That means that when things do not turn out as you had planned you get hurt that much more. So maybe for a bit you got to look down at where you are right now. You look at what is now and what is to be will come at you a little quicker."

Alice threw her arms around me. "Thank you so much Scarlet. I have a feeling with your help I will get that vision I have dreamed of since I was created."

We both got to our feet and I put my arm around her shoulder, "Alright then. Grab your bag and let us get back to the house before they realize we are gone."

We poofed back to Alice's room. Alice put down her bag and with a smile on her face went down stairs and talked to Jasper. After about an hour of small talk Alice got up and made an announcement to the family, "Hey guys I have something to tell you."

Esme looked concerned. Carlisle looked confused. Emmett and Rose just sat there patiently. I looked over to Edward who smiled knowingly at me. Alice took a big unneeded breath and continued, "As you all know, I have not been the best since Jasper left. Now that he is back and I have some closure I am going to seek out myself."

Esme spoke out first, "What do you mean honey?"

"Well Scarlet has offered me a room in her house for a while. With me going there I can straighten out some things that I really need to work on. I have been part of this family for so long that I just need some time to myself to find who I really am now. Everyone becomes a different person with the years that pass and I am still the girl I was when I first came to live with you."

Carlisle put his hand on Esme's lap and smiled at Alice, "That sounds like something that will be good for you Alice. How long will you be gone?"

Alice looked over to me for an answer. I smiled and said, "About a year I would say."

Alice smiled at me then at the rest of the family, "Yeah, about a year. Although I would say after a month you guys could call me about coming to visit. You guys are still family. But this also gives Jasper the room so there is no awkward room shuffling. You know give everyone a chance to adjust."

"We support your decision honey" Esme said calmly.

"Yeah sis. I mean as long as you let us come visit you." Emmett commented from the couch.

"We could go shopping when I come up to visit Alice. I hear small town shops can be very quaint out that way." Rose said happily.

"When will you leave?"

"When Alice packs her stuff Carlisle." I inserted.

I looked over to Edward. I sent my thoughts toward him, "Now would be a good time to mention your outing to just experience the world."

Edward nodded slightly. He stood up and smiled at everyone, "Well I have news too. In a couple weeks I am going to be going out and have an adventure. I have no idea where I am going or how long I will be gone. I have spent so much time knowing exactly what was going to happen because of watching Alice's visions in her mind. I know Esme I will be careful." Edward said answering Esme's unasked question.

Esme sounded so sad when she spoke, "The family is far from better isn't it?"

Carlisle rubbed her back some. Edward walked over and crouched down in front of her. He took her hand in his, "Esme, we are always going to be fine. Just think of it as those times when someone gets married and goes off on their own for a while. Alice and I will be fine."

"But what if something goes wrong and we do not know where you are?" Esme said quietly.

I raised my hand, "I believe I can help with that. Here everyone take one of these." I handed around necklaces to everyone. "Wear this all the time. If something happens and you need someone hold the pendant and think of who you want to get in touch with. If someone needs assistance I will pop to you with whoever you need. If your pendant gets very hot and you are around people get alone fast cause I will grab you and go."

Everyone shook their heads in understanding. After that we all played some games together. Bella made me a dinner that could match some of the finest chefs I have ever seen. We ended up staying up the entire night, with everyone getting along. There were laughs, pranks, talks, and movies till the sun came up. It was with the rising sun that Alice went upstairs and finished packing all her stuff into four very large trunks. She kissed everyone goodbye. Instructed that the rest of her stuff be put into storage and have the room made over for Jasper's liking.

I knew it was very hard for her to walk out that door. Before we left I pulled her to the side, "You sure you want to do this Alice?"

She smiled at me a little, "I have to do this Scarlet. My life can't move on if I do not give my heart some time to move on."

"Okay then. How bout we go outside so that the smoke doesn't ruin Esme's furniture."

We made each guy carry one of the trunks out to the yard. Alice ran round one more time giving everyone a hug and a kiss. I followed right behind hugging the girls and giving a high five and a slap on the butt to the guys. We went back to the trunks, waved goodbye and poofed back to my place.

ONE YEAR AND SIX MONTHS LATER

SPOV

The year went by so fast having Alice at my place. Everything had gone according to planned. She signed up to go to the last year of high school as my cousin from Washington. She ended up meeting this really nice guy and thanks to my potions she was able to keep her secret from him. To him she is just a normal girl. She knew that he was not her mate, but for her it was nice to be with someone for a while. In the end he broke up with her. He told her he was going off to college and really needed to focus on that. She said that it was fine and wished him the best of luck. She now has faith that there is a guy out there for her and is willing to not take the short cut of her visions to find him.

While Alice staid at my place, she also learned from me and one of my seer friends the true to her art of seeing the future. She now has complete control of her power. She can see the future, but if a decision is made she can see the multiple paths that could occur. What made it all the best is that she learned to turn certain parts of her visions on and off. One example is she can choose to see problems that can occur with her family, but not ones of her mate. She says that it will be more fun to find him the old fashion way. I on the other hand can see a lot and she is bound to find her mate in the next city they move to. He is hiding in the night life of the city and he does feed on humans, but he feeds on the evil that roams in the night. Things will be wonderful.

As for Edward he waited about two almost three weeks after Jasper came back to go on his adventure. He did it so that he and Jasper could get their brother bond back after the almost fight. For the rest of the time he went off and traveled all around the world. I was always sending him potions so that he could go where ever he wanted.

He traveled and traveled all around the world. It turns out he should have went to Paris with Alice and Rose more often. One night when he was visiting around the Eiffel Tower a girl walked up to him. She started to hit on him. He says the minute he looked into her eyes he knew that this was his mate. Her name is Celina.

At first Celina was not so keen on Edward. If I recall, he mentioned that she tried to kill him at first. After a week of bringing her flowers, taking her hunting, and walks around Paris he was able to woo her. Now the two of them are inseparable. He refused to bring her home until the whole family was together again.

So when everyone was going to be in that house there was going to be a big lack of space. In the year that passed Esme went insane adding an addition onto that house. She put Edward into Alice and Jasper's old room because she figured that it would be hard for Jasper and Bella to be alone in a room where Alice and Jasper had been intimate.

Edward's room was transformed into a county homey feeling to it. If I do say so myself it is very country and very Jasper. Esme put in a bed that was not too grand, but still grand enough to belong to a Cullen.

After she was finished there she expanded the back of the house. She created a huge movie, game room for the boys. It had surround sound and a screen large enough to cover the entire wall. From there she added seven more rooms above the game room. There were three bedrooms and four bathrooms. One bedroom was made up for Alice and to say it was huge would be an understatement. The second bedroom was made up for me in case I ever wanted to spend some time at the house with them. Honestly I think Esme hoped that I would move in and join the family. I have used that room a lot, but still refuse to officially join the family. The third room was set up for a get out room for any of the guys. There have been times when the women would kick the men out of the bedroom for some reason and that was just a room for the guys to go to. They ended up naming that room the dog house. The four bathrooms attached onto all of the new bedrooms and the fourth attached onto Jasper and Bella's room.

Jasper and Bella are doing wonderfully. Once all the drama at school went away they said that things could never be better. Most girls still would shank her just for the fact that not only had she dated one Cullen but two of the Cullens. Jasper was happier than a hog in mud being able to be back in Forks with the love of his life. Charlie took it very well, mumbling something about Edward being not man enough.

Bella and Jasper are now planning a wedding. They plan to be married by this time next year as well as have Bella changed. The part that made me smile most when they told me was that they asked me to be a brides maid. The title of maid of honor was given to Alice since she was Bella's best friend and Jasper's partner for so many years.

As for Edward and Celina they are planning a wedding as well, but Alice is in charge of this one. It is going to be massive. They are planning it for about two years. They figure that they have the rest of eternity to marry. That and Celina is not racing the clock of humanity. There really was no need to start planning it now, but as the whole family said, "It is Alice."

And me you may be wondering? Well I am still living in my place. There is still no guy in my future, although I really am not looking. I know the time will come, but life is not just all about love. When you find it you can know sometimes in just one moment that you will spend the rest of an eternity with that person. I hope to find a ying to my yang, and part of me knows he is out there waiting. I just got to wait for the right moment.

A.N. Alright that was the end. I hope that everyone liked it. It means a lot to me that some of you have waited for so long and have come with me for so far. Major love to all of you who have gotten to here. *kisses on cheeks* Thank you and you will never know the pride and confidence that you people give me when I see that you are clicking the favorite button for either me or just the story, and when you get the alerts to my stories or the biggest smiles come from reviews.

That's the end show me love for the last time on this story. 3
