-Edward's POV-
I shook my head back and forth. I was very confused. "How- how did I get here?"
"Don't you remember?" Alice asked. I shook my head.
"No, the last thing I remember is talking to Damien…" She smiled a grave smile.
"I thought so," she muttered.
"How did you know?" Jasper asked.
"His eyes looked the same when I saw Bella's eyes turn red. They weren't focused, as if she were day dreaming." I cringed at the name. All I wanted to do is have my love in my arms. Alice noticed.
"We'll have Bella home soon enough, Edward."
"All I want is to have her in my arms now," I growled. I've lived long enough without her.
"I want to see Bella too; Edward, but we need a strategy. Damien is too powerful. We'd get killed and Bella would be tortured by our death," Jasper said.
"Bella needs to see us before Damien does. Then she'll block his power from us," I suggested. I hadn't noticed Alice clutching her sides, rocking back and forth. Then she collapsed onto her knees.
Jasper rushed to her side. "What do you see? What's wrong?" He asked urgently.
"Too late," she gasped. "We're going to be too late."
"Alice, what do you mean?" I asked. She looked at me, and her vision filled my head.
-Vision-
Natalie was screaming in pain, as Damien tortured her. Bella was begging him to stop. He turned around to hurt her, but nothing happened. Damien got angry was going to kill Bella. He lit her on fire, and her screams pierced the sky.
-Vision-
I massaged my temples, trying to get Bella's screaming out of my head. I knew this wasn't actually happening to Bella. Damien must have been controlling Alice's visions, but I couldn't be sure.
I quickly ran out the door towards Chicago. I must get to Bella before she was killed. "Edward, where are you going?" Emmett yelled after me. "You'll kill yourself."
"What about Bella? She might be in trouble." Trees flew past me, and I didn't stop.
I had to get to Bella before she got hurt.
-Alice's POV-
Jasper rubbed my shoulder, and helped me get a hold of myself. I could see him wince when I screamed. "Are you okay?" he asked.
"Yes," I replied. "Thank you, Jasper." I got up, and he buried me in his arms.
After a minute, he released me and looked into my eyes. "We need to follow Edward." I nodded, unable to speak.
-Jasper's POV-
I grabbed Alice's
hand and led her towards Chicago. I could feel her emotions, confused
mixed with sadness. I felt horrible. She shouldn't be feeling these
things. We should have gone after Bella a long time ago. "It'll
be okay. We'll rescue Bella, and everything will be back to
normal."
"Will it, Jasper? Will anything be normal again?"
"Yes, once Bella is back where she belongs." She smiled.
