AN: Hey everyone. You have all been wondering which Cullen it is...well here you go!
Chapter 12
I sprinted up the driveway faster than a bullet as the fire continued to engulf the victim. Jesus, I had to do something!
The next few seconds seemed to go by slowly as I ran to the thrashing body. Saphire was clearly panicking as she attempted to call on water to stop the flames. Something was different about this fire, I observed. I could handle it of course but I felt in the pit of my stomach that something was wrong. Fire had always spoken to me. Not literally obviously but I always knew what started it and how to fix it. But all I felt from this fire was a menacing silence. And something else...I just couldn't pinpoint it.
Raising my arms I settled the fire, leaving only a wisp of smoke in it's wake.
The distorted body of Alice Cullen was revealed. Damn I should have gotten here faster. She was still breathing of course but I still blamed myself.
The family quickly attempted to reach out to Alice but Carlisle settled most of them. However my sister, Edward, and Jasper all had to be restrained.
Bella was wailing and sobbing in fear and panic as her adrenaline rush finally subsided.
Edward... well I never really knew what my brother-in-law was thinking but I knew that Alice was his favorite and seeing her like this must hurt.
Jasper...I couldn't even describe in words. He silently picked his wife up, slowly leading her into the house, Carlisle quickly following telling Esme to grab his kit.
As everyone ran to do what they could I felt Damien come up behind me. He lay a hand on the small of my back as I let out a sigh of relief. However it was short lived as I looked back to the place Alice had almost died at. Something was wrong here.
I slipped out of Damien's hand and walked over to the spot. I crouched down and observed the place. Just then I heard Saphire making her way to me.
"We don't know how it happened", she whispered quietly to me as I searched her eyes for the truth. But I didn't need to. My sister's never lied to me.
"The Cullen's had all gone hunting, leaving only Alice, Bella, and myself behind. Alice ran upstairs to grab something. The next thing I know I hear glass breaking from where Alice was".
Saph was quiet for a moment.
"We ran upstairs to find the window in her room broken. Someone threw her out Kitten. We don't know who though. We didn;t hear any struggling. We looked out the window in time to see Alice...burning. She just combusted. I don't know how else to explain it".
I was listening closely, trying to figure this out. Nobody combusted randomly...not unless I did it to them...
"We jumped out the window just as the Cullen's arrived and everyone started panicking. My water wouldn't work Kit. I don't understand. How cant that be possible"?
I pulled her close to me as her confusion washed over me.
I didn't know the answer to her question. And it pissed me off. I should know. Whoever did this hurt Bella's family and I wasn't going to stand for it.
I handed my distressed sister to Damien as I turned around to inspect the ash filled ground.
I was about to pass over the pile, seeing nothing. But just as I turned my head something caught my eye. Picking it up I gasped in disbelief.
A ring.
Not just any ring however.
It was my fathers.
Then I knew exactly what happened. All the puzzle pieces came together. My father had harmed Alice, knowing I would come to talk to my sister's about what had happened a moment ago when he had come to visit. He knew I would come so he hurt Alice...and left me a message.
The bastard.
He knew I would come to him now.
"Ahhhhhhhhh!!!!!", I screamed in frustration. Saphire and Damien looked at me in shock at my outburst, quickly walking towards me.
All of the trees around the Cullen home burst into fire as my anger consumed me. Now I had to come to him. His message was well delivered. I couldn't protect everyone I loved. Which meant to protect them I would have to leave them. Become daddy's little princess. Or goddess. Whatever.
Damien rushed over to me, sweeping me into his arms. The man was brave...ill give him that. Not many poeple were man enough to hug me when I was this pissed off.
However the feel of his arms around me did exactly what they were meant to . He calmed me down. I don't know how he always did it...but a lot of things surprised me about my love.
As I looked into his eyes I saw a promise. It promised me forever. With him. With Damien. I could stay with him. I could love him. I could protect him.
But what about everyone else?
I couldn't possibly protect everyone. It was impossible. And that meant one thing.
"Im alright", I lied through my teeth, putting on an innocent look. "Just tired and stressed out. Can we just go home"?
He nodded, kissing me on the forehead again and before I knew it we were in our room in his mansion.
He walked me over to the bed, gently laying me onto the silk comforter. He was immediately next to me and I soaked in his presence by my side. He smiled at me gently and I smiled back. But inside my heart was breaking.
I looked for the last time into his eyes. Leaning in I gently pressed my lips to his, pouring all my love into this one action.
He groaned beside me.
"I'm going to miss you baby".
He looked at me in confusion.
"I don't understand. Why would you miss me?". I could see he was beginning to panic so I leaned into his ear and whispered. "I love you. Forever", right before I slammed my fist into the side of his head. His eyes rolled back and he slumped into the bed unconscious. And it took a lot to knock out a vampire. Especially the King.
I got up and looked at him one last time. I would watch over him from up there. He would find happiness again with someone else. He was a good person. My knight in shining armor.
"Forever", I whispered as I summoned the portal that would lead me "home".
Stepping through I felt a single tear drop from my eye.
I walked away without a second look.
