Okay this is going to be the last chapter from Alice's POV. The next chapter, followed by the rest for this story will be from Edwards POV. Oh and to answer the question from: Janelle, "what happens if Edward Cullen fell in love with someone else than bella swan?" well I don't think that Edward is capable of falling in love with anyone else. He is so in love with bella, nothing could compare. But good question. I guess also I just don't even want to think of Edward falling in love with anyone else, except me of course. Haha ok, here is some more of my story!
When bella came in, it was time for Charlie to go to work, I told bella about my past. My name, my family, where I lived. That was very interesting when I found out. I still am confused about some stuff, but it is so much clearer than before. We just talked all day, where I was going to go when I left, she got really sad when we talked about that. We started to talk about when we first started to really hang out, she got happy at first, but when we got farther into our relationship, it brought back memories of…their…relationship, so we stopped.
When Charlie got home, he looked very tired, and sad. He went to bed early, he had to go to harries funeral. Bella slept on the couch again, and I just watched the news. Im glad that bella hasn't had any nightmares since I've been here, I just hope so much that she doesn't go back to being depressed when I leave.
The next morning, Charlie got up early, he had on a suit and a sad face, before he left to go to harries funeral. He tip toed out the door, trying not to wake us up. I already knew that bella was up, and obviously I wasn't asleep, so his efforts were wasted. But it was a very nice thought on his part. Once he was gone, I sat up, gully dressed and ready for anything, "so what are we doing today?" I asked her, she was still under the blankets. "I don't know-do you see anything interesting happening?" I swear everyone depends on my sight far too much. I just shook my head, with a smile, "but its still early" bella decided that she needed to do dome chores, so she started doing the laundry, the floors, everything, she looked like Cinderella, "can I help do something?" I asked, I could do all of this so much faster than she can. But she shook her head and kept working. When she was done with the kitchen we headed up to the bathroom. She was scrubbing the bathtub with comet, when the doorbell rang. Huh? I didn't see anything like this. Great, it must be one of the werewolves, I should leave. Bella looked up at me, and I shrugged. "Hold on!" bella yelled at the door, as she got up and went to wash off her hands. "Bella, I have a fairly good guess," did I just say I have a guess?!! "Who that might be, and I think I better step out" her eyes widened slightly "guess?" yeah, yeah, I know! These werewolves are really annoying me. "if this is a repeat of my egregious lapse in foresight yesterday, then its most likely Jacob black or one of his…friends." She looked at me confused, and then started to understand. "You can't see werewolves?" ugh, I kind of just said that. "So it would seem." I said annoyance clear in my voice. I am starting to hate these werewolves more and more. The doorbell rang again twice in a row, oh, so the werewolf is annoyed too, good! "You don't have to go anywhere, Alice. You were here first." That mad me laugh, she would like it if I did something bad to her friend, not that I purposefully would, but… "Trust me-it wouldn't be a good idea to have me and Jacob black in a room together." I kissed her cheek and before she could answer, or argue I was gone into the woods by her house, close enough to listen, but far enough away. I herd the doorbell ring, again. Bella ran down the stairs to get it. I let out a breath and just tried to relax. But then I caught the scent of a deer running near by. I decided I might as well go for it. I finished with the deer and headed back to the house, if this Jacob wasn't gone. Oh well, he has been there long enough.
I came in through the upstairs window and started to walk down the stairs. When I got to the bottom I froze, I was having a vision
Vision…
Edward in front of the volturi asking to die, the volturi deliberating.
…end vision
I started to shake slightly, "bella," I managed to get out, she was on the floor, but she quickly got up and ran over to me. She grabbed my arm, and then she put her hands on my face. "Alice, what's wrong?" she cried, what do I say to her. I was still shaking and I barely noticed Jacob still here, just his scent mad me wary. "Edward" was all I said, and apparently all I had to say. She started to fall, and Jacob started to cuss at me asking what I did to her, I grabbed her and put her on the couch. She was shaking furiously, like she was just put in a tub of freezing water and then put out side in a winter day. "What did you do to her?" Jacob asked furious, I just ignored him. "Bella? Bella snap out of it. We have to hurry." "Stay back" Jacob warned me, god why don't you go home, dog! "Calm down Jacob black," he was starting to shake to, not good. "You don't want to do that to close to her." Or me, I thought to myself. No way would I be able to control myself if he phased. "I don't think I'll have a problem keeping my focus," he spit back at me, but he was slightly calmer. I looked back at bella, "alice?" she said very weak "what happened?" I don't know?! What the hell is he doing?
"I don't know, what is he thinking?!" why is he going to kill himself?! What happened?! What did I miss?! I pulled my phone out and called the house. I need to talk to Carlisle. The phone rang two times before someone answered.
Phone conversation with Rosalie:
"Rose, I need to talk to Carlisle NOW."
"Im sorry al, he isn't here right now."
"Fine as soon as he's back." Wait; ill be on a plane, 'no, I'll be on a plane. Look have you heard anything from Edward?"
"Well no, after I located him by phone to tell him about bella, he hasn't called back." WHAT!
"Why?!" I gasped, well that answered the why he is going, he thinks bella's dead. "Why would you do that Rosalie?"
"What? I thought bella was dead, I thought he might come home so that he could be with his family." Oh my god, Rosalie!!!!!!!!!!
"Well you're wrong on both counts, though, Rosalie, so that would be a problem, don't you think"
"Bella isn't dead?!"
"Yes, that's right. She is absolutely fine-I was wrong"
"You were wrong?"
"It's a long story"
"Edward might come home, now"
"You're wrong about that part, too, that's why im calling"
She gasped "he isn't" she gulped "going to Italy?" I heard a gasp in the back round then something smashed.
"Yes, that's exactly what I saw."
"OH MY GOD!! I AM SO SORRY, I DIDN'T MEAN ANYTHING LIKE THIS, I THOUGHT HE MIGHT FINALLY COME HOME, IM SO SORRY!"
"It's a bit late for that, rose. Save your remorse for someone who believes it."
I shut the phone and almost broke it, with the pressure I used. I turned to face bella, "Alice, Alice, Carlisle is back, though. He called just before…" what? Rose wouldn't lie, I don't think anyway. "How long ago?" she thought for a second. "Half a minute before you showed up." Wait, this is confusing, I hate being confused! "What did he say?" she looked over at Jacob. "I didn't talk to him" I looked at Jacob, who was trying to 'protect' bella from me, dumb ass. "He asked for Charlie, and I told him Charlie wasn't here," he said, almost threw his teeth. "Is that everything?" that doesn't sound right. "Then he hung up on me," he spit back at me. Okay that doesn't sound like Carlisle. Jacob was shaking controllably but, he still, was shaking. "You told him Charlie was at the funeral" bella reminded him. Oh, no. I looked right at bella "what were his exact words?" he thought back for a second. "He said, 'he's not here,' and when Carlisle asked where Charlie was, Jacob said, 'at the funeral.'" No! I moaned and fell to my knees. No Edward, why didn't you ask a more specific question? Ahhhh why didn't you say it was you, not Carlisle. "Tell me alice." Bella whispered, "That wasn't Carlisle on the phone," Jacob looked at me furiously, "are you calling me a liar?" he said, but I ignored him.
"It was Edward." I whispered "he thinks you're dead." Why did she look…almost…relieved.
"Rosalie told him I killed myself, didn't she?" Ah Rosalie, she caused this mess! "Yes. In her defense, she did believe it. They rely on my sight far too much for something that works so imperfectly. But for her to track him down to tell him this! Didn't she realize…or care…?" I couldn't finish the sentence.
"And when Edward called here, he thought Jacob meant MY funeral" she realized, but she didn't seem upset, at all. "You're not upset," I whispered.
"Well its rotten timing, but it will all get straightened out. The next time he calls, someone will tell him…what…really…" she trailed of because of the look I gave her. I shook my head.
"Bella, Edward won't call again. He believed her." Bella looked horror struck, yet confused. She mouthed I don't understand. "He's going to Italy" it took about a second for her to understand. Then another for her to react.
"NO! No! No, no, no! He can't do that!" okay now this is the reaction I was expecting.
"He made up his mind as soon as your friend confirmed that it was too late to save you." she shook her head in horror then stared blankly ahead
"But he…he left! He didn't want me anymore! What difference does it make now? He knew I would die sometime!"
"I don't think he ever planned to outlive you by long" actually I knew he didn't, I just don't think he thought it would be so soon.
"HOW DARE HE!" bella got up and was trying to pace but Jacob was getting in her way, she elbowed him. "Oh get out of the way, Jacob!" then she walked up to me, "what do we do? Can't we call him? Can Carlisle?" she was begging me. I started shaking my head.
"That was the first thing I tried. He left his phone in a trash can in South America-someone answered it…," I whispered back, if we are going to do anything we are going to need to hurry.
"You said before that we had to hurry. Hurry how? Let's do it, whatever it is!" can I really ask her to go to Italy and risk her life? I don't know if I should?
"Bella I-I don't think I can ask you to…" go to Italy and face the all royal vampire family that will kill you if they find out if you know about our secret world.
"Ask me!" she commanded
I put my hands on her shoulders, I don't think she would care to die, but I know that Charlie would. I don't want to put him through anymore deaths. "We may already be too late. I saw him going to the volturi…and asking to die" we cringed at the same time, and bella tried to blink away her tears. "It all depends on what they choose. I can't see that till they make a decision. But if they say no, and they might-aro is fond of Carlisle, and wouldn't want to offend him-Edward has a backup plan. They're very protective of their city. If Edward does something to upset the peace, he thinks they'll act to stop him. And he's right. They will." Bella looked frustrated, I was trying to explain the danger but she wanted to know how to save Edward.
"So if they agree to grant his favor, we're too late. If they say no, and he comes up with a plan to offend them quickly enough, we're too late. If he gives into his more theatrical tendencies…we might have time"
"Lets go!" bella screamed at me.
"Listen, bella! Whether we are in time or not, we will be in the heart of the volturi city. I will be considered his accomplice if he is successful. You will be a human who not only knows too much, but also smells too good. There's a very good chance that they will eliminate us all-though in your case it wont be punishment so much as dinnertime." She stared at me like I was stupid.
"This is what's keeping us here?" she asked in disbelief. "I'll go alone if you're afraid."
"Im only afraid of getting you killed." She snorted at me, and then looked at me again like I was an idiot.
"I almost get myself killed on a daily basis! Tell me what to do!" hmmm what does her need, clothes, passport, note for Charlie…
"You write a note to Charlie. I'll call the airlines." She gasped.
"Charlie," did she really not think of Charlie, well I guess she was distracted. I was about to say something but Jacob beat me.
"I'm not going to let anything happen to Charlie, screw the treaty." He said angry, he didn't like our plan. Im sure he would be very happy if my brother died, even if it killed bella inside. He seems very selfish, but who isn't.
"Hurry, bella," she listened and I went to get us a flight.
We need to hurry our flight leaves in one hour. When I came inside I went in the kitchen. Bella and Jacob were on the floor.
"Get your wallet- you'll' need ID. PLEASE tell me you have a passport. I don't have time to forge one." She nodded and raced upstairs to grab everything. I walked into the living room and turned around.
Jacob was behind me and he was giving me the ultimate death stare, but I gave it right back.
Even though we were far from each other-any closer would probably be bad-it was very intense stare down.
"you might control yourself on occasion, but these leeches you're taking her to-" he snarled at me, he was shaking a lot, a little more than I was comfortable with, bella being so close and all.
"Yes. You're right, dog" I snarled right back, "the volturi are the very essence of our kind-they're the reason your hair stands on end when you smell me. They are the substance of your nightmares, the dread behind your instance. Im not unaware of that."
He leaned forward towards me and I crouched slightly as he yelled, "AND YOU TAKE HER TO THEM LIKE A BOTTLE OF WINE FOR A PARTY!" he was shaking very hard now, I was afraid that he might phase, bella would be very sad if I killed her friend.
"You think she'd be better off if I left her here alone, with Victoria stalking her?"
"We can handle the redhead"
"Then why is she still hunting?" he started to growl at me as another shudder erupted through his body.
"Stop that!" bella shouted at us, I straighted up right away, but Jacob was still shaking. "Argue when we get back, let's go"
I ran to the car and got it started, I turned it around so that bella could jump in. we had forty-five minutes to get to the airport, get through security , then get on our way to Italy. Bella was standing in the doorway talking with Jacob; he was trying to talk her out of going. I revved the engine and she pulled away, and ran to the car. Once she got in I sped off and she yelled out the window "take care of Charlie!" but he was gone. We were quiet the whole way to the airport, but luckily we got there in time and boarded the plan at the final call. We will be in Italy in about eleven hours. I hope we get there in time.
