Chapter 12

Max's POV

I sat on the edge of my bed, debating sleeping or going to confront either Nikias or Carlisle. The confrontation won out. I got up and headed towards Carlisle's office.

I heard voices in there so I eased open the door slowly and quietly.

"Carlisle, are you sure that we need to keep this a secret from her? What if our not warning her causes this to happen?"

"Yes, but what if warning her causes it? We don't know and she has enough problems as it is."

"Alright then, so what do you suggest we do?"

"Let's just leave her be about it and tell the rest of the vampires. We can't tell the flock. Angel agreed to not tell but I don't know if the rest would." They stopped talking and I heard voices coming my way. I hurried away and back to my room.

They walked down the stairs to where all the vampires were. I followed them out but they were speaking to quietly to hear from where I was. I moved closer to them but still couldn't hear. I got as close as possible without being spotted but could still only hear parts.

"…will…dead…Volturi…Kale…" Everyone who didn't know this future already dropped their jaw and gaped at the two. Those two just nodded solemnly. Everyone broke apart and I realized that I had done something very stupid…again.

I had moved downstairs to get as close as possible and was stuck here until everyone left the room. Gee, how smart am I? I stood there, waiting, for over an hour before I fell asleep

I woke up when I heard people yelling my name. Wait, why are people yelling my name? Oh, I'm not in my room. I snuck out of my hiding spot and stood at the bottom of the staircase.

"What do you guys want? I'm right here." I heard several sets of steps coming towards me and then saw everyone looking at me.

"Where have you been?" demanded Fang, glaring at me. He probably thought I did something stupid. When would I ever do anything stupid?

"I have been right down here. I couldn't sleep last night so I came down here to try and sleep on a floor." I explained to everyone which is partially true. I did sleep down here and couldn't sleep in my own room.

Everyone seemed to accept this and went on with whatever they were doing. Fang walked over to me with a questioning look though.

I pulled him away from everyone else. "Fang, apparently there is a new and terrible future that they aren't telling us about. Angel knows but she won't tell me. Can you see if you can get her to talk about it?" He nodded and started to turn away.

He stopped and turned back to me again. "Did you know we get to go back to school?"

"Wh-what? But what about the little ones teachers?"

"They switched their teachers and grouped you, me and Iggy together." He replied. I sighed in defeat, realizing there was no way out of this.

"Ugh, let's get ready then. Do the others know?" He nodded and we prepared for another, hopefully longer and more monotonous day of school.

Everyone got dressed and Alice even attempted to get a brush through each girls hair while the guys laughed at the pain it caused us. Finally, after the torture called hair brushing, we piled into the cars.

When we reached the school we got out of the cars and received stares fro several people when they saw that we were with the Cullens. I wonder why. Well, we headed to our classes and began day two of the hopefully monotonous school days.

_____________________________________________________________

Edward's POV

We got several stares when people saw that others had come with us today. I figured that Bella would be questioned about it all day. She had agreed to drive herself once again due to lack of space.

I saw her truck pull into the parking lot behind a van and walked over to where she parked it. She fell getting out and I caught her. I stifled my laughter and she glared at me.

"Hello Bella." I said cheerily and she just continued to glare at me. I smiled and walked her to class. Once we were in class and the teacher had started the lesson, I tuned him out and started thinking about how me and Kale were related.

Did Kale even know that we were related? I was wondering about this all day, and Bella noticed. "Edward, are you thinking about Kale?" I nodded.

I was thinking about Kale but I was also thinking of how I wanted to tell her about the future that Nikias had told us all about but knew that then she may be one of the people out there. I decided to try to keep her away from that fate.

"Bella, I need you to stay away from my house and away from me until things calm back down again. We have something big coming up and I don't want you to be hurt. School is the only place you can see me or any of us."

She nodded her head and seemed to understand. "Alright, but what is going to happen? Did Alice have a vision?" she asked.

"I can't tell you, just promise to stay away. We don't know when this is going to happen." She nodded again and promised.

Max's POV

(Again)

I will say that monotonous may sound good when you think about it meaning not blowing up a building, but it is not good. It is boring. I sat through another class, very thankful that lunch was coming up for us.

The teacher finished her lesson and dismissed us. Once we got out of the building, Iggy yelled, "Freedom!"

"I shushed him and Fang smiled a little for about a nanosecond. When we reached the cafeteria, we got through the line and got our food. Then we were faced with a huge problem. Where were we supposed to sit?

Fang, being him, just shrugged, walked to the nearest table with three seats and asked if we could sit there. They said yes and we got our seats. All the girls at the table kept staring at Fang.

I recognized one of them from our math class. She must have recognized me to because she signaled for me to sit next to her. When I sat down she asked, "Is that your brother?" I nodded. "Do you think he would like me?" I groaned internally.

"Uhh, I don't know. Should I ask him?" She shook her head quickly.

"No! You don't need to do that!" she seemed really flustered now and I quickly assured her I wouldn't tell him.

She relaxed and I started to eat. I looked over to Fang and Iggy who were discussing something quietly. They glanced at me then tried to keep from laughing. Finally after lunch, we continued on through our classes.

I was doodling in my notebook, waiting for class to start when an old friend visited. You know who I'm talking about? That's right, the voice.

Maximum, you need to be very careful. Kale has a new plan and all I can tell you is that, if you don't watch yourself and your flock then you may lose everything you love.

What! You mean, the flock will die or leave or what. Is that what this terrible future is?

No Maximum. I will show you the future that was seen for you.

It was very dark out and I was standing on top of a large hill. I looked up and saw a figure hovering there. It was another me. She was staring down at something behind me on the hill. I turned to see what she saw and gasped, horrified. I saw my entire flock, lying dead on the ground. Fang a little separate from the others with eraser claw marks on his chest and no blood to be seen anywhere on him. I fought back tears as I saw my entire flock in similar condition. I looked past them to see many vampires dead also, including all the Cullens. I looked away from all the dead bodies and turned to face my shape in the sky. She had turned around and now faced away from me. I looked farther than her to see a swarm of black shapes flying towards her and vampires walking on the ground towards her. They had succeeded in taking over and had no need for her now. She moved to fight and face them all alone.

My flock was going to die. All of them. Not just one, but all.
