I was without internet for nearly two weeks so I couldn't update earlier. I've too been worked up with lots of things I had to do and I didn't have much time to work on this chapter. I hope this chapter is more understandable because some said that the grammar was awful and I noticed that when I was rereading my work. so I will check this chapter twice before I publish it.

Chapter 10: I Can't See

Alice's POV

Three days. I've been three days without being able to see. Three days with a wound on my arm that aches but doesn't heal. Three days stuck in the present because of the ones that surround me. I would have a great headache if I try to see the future near them. That's why I haven't in three days. All this time without my ability has been way too tough for me. I have been depressed feeling helpless to my extended family. My neice is covered in a big burn on her back and she doesn't heal. Faron has his burn too and so do I. I got burned in the last attack and my burn hasn't been healing. We do not know what is happening. What is that ability of his that we can't heal from the burns? That monster. I can't even get to see him. Edward can't reach to his mind. I don't even know if it's attack is mental or physical. And if it was mental, would Bella be able to protect us from it?

The moon was almost at it's highest point in the night. For the first time in decades I felt weak. I was a vampire but the wound was draining me up. I felt like if I was touching Kate right now. Feeling pain from a burn that wasn't set on fire. Jasper flinched in my side as he felt that jolt of emotion that went through me as I thought. I rested my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes. I knew that I couldn't sleep but at least I could take in the moment of peace we were having and relax a bit from all the stress. Maybe that way my wound would heal or at least the pain would fade. But I was wrong. It just got worse.

"There has to be a cure for these burns" Faron said.

"It affected a vampire" I said. "This could be the most powerful creature in the whole world."

"But we can try" he said. "A bite from a vampire will turn you into one and also a bite from a werewolf but for what you have told me a bite from a shapeshifter won't turn you into one. I think the same happens with this creature but this one leaves a mark. It's not made from a bite and it won't turn us into the samething else. It has to have a cure." I nodded and looked at my neice between her sisters as they stroke her hair to comfort her.

"We need to find a safe place to sleep" I said.

"I know somewhere" Jasper said. "It's not far from here" he assured. We all nodded and started following him as he led us deeper into the forest. The only thing that was heard in all the way was the heart beats of all the hybrids here and the low but present sobs of the daughter of my neice. But still I called her my neice.

"Are we there yet?" Diana asked as she passed her baby to Faron. Faron smiled as he cradled the baby in his hands that already looked months old.

"Almost" Jasper said. He took my hand and gently pulled me to his side. I did my best to smile at him even though I knew that he could see through it but at least he would know that I was trying. I didn't want him to feel bad because of me. I want him to smile for both of us. He had to smile for both of us. But he couldn't smile because of all of us. We all were scared and tired and hurt and there was just such a mix of negative emotions in the air that I could see Jasper flinching ever now and then.

We got to the entrance of a cave. It was dark, humid and maybe the best place to hide from a creature like that. "Is this it?" I asked unsure. There could be anything in there because I know Jasper well and sometimes he has a few surprises.

"This is it" he said and walked in. We followed shortly behind and walked deep into the cave. My eyes adjusted to the little light as we walked. Five minutes walking and finally we stopped. "This is enough" he said and we sat down. Some sat down and others leaned against the walls. I looked at the other end of the place where the tunnel continued.

"Where are we?" I asked.

"In the same cave Carlisle lived when he was changed" Jasper said. I nodded slowly as I looked around the place where Carlisle had once been when he tried to hide what he was.

"Um, I'll be right back" I said and walked away from Jasper and the others. I walked deeper into the humid cavern until I was in front of what seemed a small pool of water. The walls glittered as the moon shone over the water from a hole in the roof. I looked down at my hands to see them glowing a bit by the moon light. I frowned. This has never happened to me before. At least not with the moon. The glow wasn't much but it was beautiful. At least a human wouldn't notice it.

I knelt down in front of the water. I traced my hands with my view seeing my skin glow until my eyes fell on the burn in my arm. Dark and not glowing. It looked like having coal in my arm instead of diamons. It was ugly and dirty. I had already washed it but the stain wouldn't ware off. I groaned and smashed the water with both of my fists. I was frustrated. I couldn't see the future near these hybrids. I was useless here and since how many days I haven't seen the future of my family? I've been leaving them unportected from any attack.

I stared at the water and took a deep breath as I permitted myself to see the future again, eager to have my first vision. And my first vision wasn't what I expected. I didn't know if what I was seeing was right or not. It wasn't possible:

"Agh" Bella flinched. She had a bloated stomach and Edward was besides her holding her hand. Carlisle didn't know what to do. Esme was worried sick. Everyone was there except me and Jasper. Rose took Nessie out of the room. Emmett was on the phone talking to someone. It was a painful moment. Bella pushed once, then again and another time until a cry was heard.

The vision was cut off. I heard footsteps behind me. "Alice" Jasper knelt down besides me and kissed my cheek. "What happened?"

I looked at him in horror, "Bella. She's pregnant" my voice was barely a whisper.

"How?" he asked.

"I don't know" I said. I then noticed my arm. It was healing. The burn slowly disappeared. "My wound" I said. "It's healling. I looked around. How? Then I looked at the water. There was no other explination. "Bring Anny here" I said. "And Faron too. I think I know how he can be healed." Jasper frowned but nodded slowly and stood up. He walked away I sighed as I remembered the rest of my family. "What is going on?" I said to myself. "How is this happening? What is happening?" I just couldn't make myself understand what all this was. I couldn't make the pieces of the puzzle fit together. There was no way to explain this. And what made my hand heal? What was this place?

I didn't recieve any reviews in the past month and I haven't gotten many visitors too so please review this chapter, it means a lot to me. I'll post next chapter soon. I'm going to start to work on it right now.
