The Future…….
I was sitting on Alice's floor staring into space angrily. Why didn't he want me to become a vampire? I don't get it. This is what was supposed to happen. Alice said so. She knew it, I knew it, his whole family knew it, why doesn't he get it? My thoughts were cut short as I heard two small nocks on the door.
"Bella? Can I come in please?" Alice asked sweetly.
"It's your room." I said with no voice.
She walked-correction-glided into the room so gracefully I was caught in awe. You think I would get used to them being so perfect all the time, but I don't.
"Bella, don't worry about what silly Edward thinks. He is as stubborn as a mule; he thinks he is right all the time. But, I know you are meant to be a real Cullen. I've seen it."
"I know, Alice, but I want him to want me to be one, too."
Alice's face went blank. She sat there, motionless, for at least two minutes. I quickly went to take a seat beside her.
"Alice, what are you seeing?"
She veered back into life. "I'm sorry. What were we talking about?"
"Alice what did you see?" I asked curiously.
"Nothing." She bit her lip.
"Alice?" I begged.
"Well….."
"Come on."
"No."
"UGH! Alice, please!"
She hesitated, "I want to, but I think it will scare you."
That took me back a step, "Oh."
"Yeah."
"Ok? Wait, I still want to know."
"No, Bella."
"Alice, if it involves me, I deserve to know."
"Ok, but Edward won't be happy with this."
"Screw Edward. Just tell me."
She hesitated, "The Volturi… Are coming to get you."
I gasped. Hadn't Alice told them we had a date set? Why were they coming?
"But, why?" I managed to choke out.
"I don't know. All I saw was them taking you from us." Her face was getting really serious now, "We need to go tell Carlisle."
"Ok." I said silently. Why were the coming? Have I done something to provoke them? What did they want? More importantly, what did they want with me? All of these thoughts were swimming in my mind as we walked downstairs to tell everyone the news.
