Prediction

For hours, we run at full speed. Right now, everyone is feeding as the sun is towering us. And despite the cold, the humidity is high and I could feel the heat across my pale skin.

Bella paused and looked at the scene before her. The Volturi guards were in one place and her family in another. Aro, however, was speaking with Carlisle. She watched Aro's swift and graceful movement when he bit the arm of a defrosted corpse. She recalled her intrigue when she once admired how the Volturi was able to glide as if they were flying very low. But seeing that she is a vampire, she was easily distracted.

"Bella," Alice said, pulling her and running at a direction where no one could hear --- not even Edward.

"What happened, Alice?"

"I have to let someone know about this. Bella, something is happening. Something bad."

"What are you talking about?"

For the first time in centuries, Alice looked stricken. It wasn't the same reaction she felt when she saw the vision of the Volturi coming to kill Renesmee. It was worse than that.

"Bella, we're going to die," Alice whispered.

Bella frowned, clearly stunned. It took her some seconds to speak.

"Tell me what you saw."

"It's Earth itself. The apocalypse occurred for a reason. It's because the universe is changing. And it is still happening now. The sun" she pointed at the bright light above "is pointing its rays in direct parts of the earth. Somehow it is coming closer."

"That can't happen," Bella murmured, though Alice heard perfectly. "The sun is the center of everything. Maybe Earth is being pulled towards it? But it doesn't make sense. Perhaps it's the atmosphere. Maybe Earth's ozone layer is turning weaker and weaker."

"This may be the end of us."

Then Bella gave her sister an embrace. Now they were truly worried. Mainly they were worried about the future of this world and the, once again, dying humans. Immortality was something they've experienced in hundreds of years and that was enough for them. If the world was truly going to end, they want it end with their true love beside them.

"They're going to find out," Bella reminded, seeing over Alice's head, since Alice was so petite.

"Not if Edward keeps his mouth shut."

"Are you planning on keeping this a secret?" Bella quizzically gazed at her.

They stared at each other. A few moments later, both sighed.

"We're going to have to keep this from them. Especially the vampires outside our family," spoke Alice, speaking aloud their mutual thoughts.

If they tell the others that they would die under sunlight, everyone would ignore the plan and eat the survivors. That way, there would be more slaying and no hope in saving this world. If they could save Earth.

They trekked back with the others and off they ran into the horizons again. Edward, of course, already knew about Alice's vision. He nodded to her direction, promising her that their choice was a wise one.

Despite Alice's grieve reaction a while ago, she managed to think friskily to her brother, Better think of a plan, Eddie. You wouldn't want to lose your little sister, would you?

Edward chuckled inaudibly then grinned at Alice, responding back, even though she would not hear his thoughts.

You know it.
