Ch.9 Flashbacks
BPOV
We were all sitting in the living room, waiting for Edward and Alice to begin.
They were going to explain to us what happened while they were away.
Edward was the first to speak.
" The reason why I left in the first place is because Alice had a vision."
Everyone stared at Alice, waiting for her to explain.
" I had a vision, that Victoria and her new clan were going to try to get revenge
for James. That they would fight us, which would give the Volturi a reason to
come. Bella hasn't been changed yet. They would kill her. Our whole family would
be killed. I, of course, told Edward, an-"
" And I wasn't going to let my family and my Bella get slaughtered, not because of
me, because, if I wouldn't have left last year, and went to the Volturi, they would
have never found out about Bella. So, I did what I thought I had to do. I left, to go
find Victoria and take her and her clan down. I know, it was foolish to think I could
do that by myself, but, I was thinking irrationally."
I, myself, could see his guilt, his pain, his bitterness. I knew that Jasper must feel horrible,
having to feel everything Edward was, on top of his own emotions. I looked over and
saw him grimancing.
"Edward."
"Yes, Bella?"
" Can you please try to calm yourself? You're killing Jazzy, over there."
I said, while pointing at Jasper, thinking of all the times we had spent, while Alice and
Edward were gone, trying to heal each other.
"Sorry, Jasper." he said, while trying to calm himself.
Jasper just smiled thankfully at me.
"Anyway, I decided to leave, to protect all of you. I tracked the clan down to Africa.
I would face them myself, on a different continent, so they would have no need to
find or even think about the rest of the family. Of Bella. So they would think that
I had left Bella. I wouldn't allow them to come here, to destroy everything I have
ever loved. Even if it killed me."
I shuttered at the thought.
" I ," Alice started, "tried to stop him, to make him think rationally, but he wouldn't listen.
So, he made me promise not to tell anyone that I knew what was going on, or where
he was. When I had a vision of Edward being killed, I wanted to tell Jasper , so badly.
To be able to talk about. But, I had to do it by myself, so I wouldn't endanger Jasper, or
anyone else.
One good thing did come out of the vision, though. I saw that there was only five in Victoria's
clan, including herself. So, I called the Denali clan, and asked them if they would help Edward
and I. If they would help save our lives, our family. To save my Jasper. She smiled lovingly at
Jasper, who gazed into her eyes.
" They agreed, especially Tanya, who would do anything for Edward." she chuckled as Edward
rolled his eyes when she said that.
" That is when I left. I called Edward, and told him I was coming. Told him about my visions,
and how the Denali clan was coming to help us. He argued with me, but, I obviously won
argument. Anyway, we decided to meet in a remote part of Africa, where Edward had tracked
the clan down. As soon as the Denali clan arrived, we began the fight. It was quite easy to
take them down. We were very glad, because the Volturi hadn't shown up. We thought we could
come straight home. But then, I had yet another vision. The vision showed the Volturi watching
Edward and I, to see if our family had joined with the Denali clan , and wondering if we were
becoming too powerful. Watching to see if Bella was with us. To see if she was still human.
They would watch for several months. That is why we were gone for so long.
We had Tanya send the letter that we were dead, so if you heard about the fight somehow, as
unlikely as it seemed, you wouldn't come looking for us. It was all for your protection."
The room was quiet. Deadly quiet. Except for my breathing and heartbeat.
"What did you and Alice you all those months?" Esme asked Edward.
"Well, we stayed in Africa, thinking of how much we missed all of you, waiting for the day
when Alice said the Volturi would finally quit watching. All we could do was that, and hunting,
of course." he said coldly.
And there we sat, with our loved ones. Me intertwined with Edward, Alice in Jasper's lap,
Carlisle and Esme holding hands, and Rose on Emmett's back, headed straight for their
bedroom.
Yep. Everything was back to normal. We all chuckled as we heard something break upstairs.
Poor Esme, the only good thing about the period when Alice and Edward were gone, was that
Rose and her "monkey man" had stopped the loud, furniture breaking, love making.
But now, everything was right again. Our family was whole.
Everyone was thinking about their love for our family, however, no one thought about
the Volturi, or what they would do if they found us again before I was changed.
Maybe we should have been thinking about that, because, what if some one else
was still watching???
I hope you all enjoyed this last chapter!!!!!
