Visions of Black Cloaks and Puppy Dogs
A/N: WOW!! That is all I have to say. I mean I have not been this diligent with my writing in a VERY long time! I really think it is because of all of the reviews that I have been getting and the chapters keep flowing. I am so glad that everyone likes the story so far and I hope I can keep updating frequently.
I plopped myself down on the couch next to Emmett and Rosalie, lost in thought. As my mind began to wander, a loud crash came from upstairs followed by a piercing scream. Alice I thought tartly, imagining how much damage she had caused to Esme's beautiful house. Another scream brought me to my feet and before I could react Alice was bolting down the stairs.
"BELLA!" She yelped clutching me tightly as she began shaking violently.
"What the hell?" I began as black clouded my sight.
A black cloak swept across my eyes as I saw a group of vampires standing in a group. A vicious snarl sounded in my ears as my vision faded. Guttural snarls and growls emitted from the fog, enshrouding me in noise. A burst of red as pain shot through me; a screech sent chills down my spine.
I gasped, shaking out of the vision. Alice stood beside me trembling, Rose and Emmett frozen with horror.
"What was that?" I choked, shrinking as I thought of the pain that had shot through me. Alice abruptly ceased shaking and cried out as the vision pulled me in again.
Panting, I roused from the vision yet again. I dropped Alice's hand, afraid of another terrifying vision. I looked at Emmett who was staring at Alice with pure shock written on his face.
"Bella, what is wrong with Alice?" He began, "Rose went to go get Edward, I didn't know what to do," he broke off, too distraught to speak anymore.
"Alice and I had a vision," I began as Edward walked into the room Rosalie in tow. "No Edward, Don't!" I yelled frantically as he began concentrating on Alice's face. He looked at me with a confused expression on his face before he began shaking and his face twisted in pain.
"What is happening to them?" Rose cried miserably.
"It is a vision," I explained going over what I had seen. "There was a terrible pain and I woke up," I finished, "the think that worries me the most is that Alice is having to suffer the pain repeatedly," I said anxiously.
"So every time you or Edward focus on her or touch her you will see the vision?" Emmett concluded, his forehead creasing with worry.
I jerked back in relief as Edward and Alice stumbled away from each other each grasping their throats as if something had choked them. Edward stared at me recognition crossing his face as Alice collapsed into another fit of spasms.
"Get Jasper and Carlisle!" he spluttered as I dashed towards Alice, trying to steady her seizing.
Emmett sprinted off towards the garage door, and Rose bolted out the back and into the woods. I held Edward's hand nervously as I watched my favorite sister seize time after time. Ten minutes later Jasper burst through the door; Emmett, Rosalie, and Carlisle in tow.
"Give her to me," Jasper whispered as Alice's tiny body racked with another shudder. I handed her over as a lethargic air spread throughout the room.
"Careful," Carlisle warned Jasper as another wave of weariness swept through the room. "Focus in on her, you need the rest of us awake for this," he continued.
"I thought we couldn't fall asleep," I questioned worriedly.
" We can't, but we can fall into a comatose state like Jasper is trying to do to Alice," Carlisle responded indifferently. "Oh Alice," he muttered as her shivers slowly began to still. Jasper looked up, his eyes a deep pool of distress, I can't live without her! He thought despondently as Edward and I shifted closer to him for comfort.
"Jasper let go of her," Carlisle instructed five minutes later, as the last ripple left Alice's body. "She will wake up when she is ready, until then we have to find out who or what is coming." A chilled silence followed his ominous words broken only when Alice began crying out feebly. With a nod from Carlisle, Jasper gingerly placed his hand on Alice's forehead and watched her hopelessly as the crying faded into silence.
After some time Emmett and Rosalie left the house in search of Esme who had gone hunting the day before. Carlisle left for the hospital shortly after. I bent down and pressed my cold cheek against Alice's and began sobbing brokenly. Edward comforted Jasper quietly who would not take his eyes off of her and flinched at every shiver, every noise that she made.
What is happening to us? I thought despairingly as I looked into the terrified eyes of my sister.
I don't know, replied Edward sympathetically, I just don't know anymore.
