Previously:

"To put it simply, everything changes; no ones destiny is set in stone because we make it up on the way. You could say I have Alice's power times a million"

"That's a lot" all Lucius does is nod his head in agreement looking like he is a thousand miles away.

Chapter 12 – Visit

"Are you serious?"

"Absolutely, not once in the 2337 years I've been a vampire" It's been a week since I've been with Lucius and I just found out that he hasn't hunted at all since he has become a vampire. He's created his own blood so he wouldn't have to take any life at all. I would kill, not literally, to be able to have that power; to never have to hurt a single human being again, or animal for that matter.

I felt my face drop and my head followed.

"Bella…" Lucius placed a hand under my chin to look me in the eyes. I diverted mine hastily. Lucius sighed and took his hand away, letting my head drop again. "Bella, would you like me to help you?" I rapidly looked up with mere hope to meet his gaze.

"You would do that for me?" I heard a little bit of doubt in my voice. I knew what he was talking about but why would he do it for me? We hardly know each other and yet Lucius has let me in, cared for me, talked to me and comforted me. He has even told me his story which I wouldn't have done even if he did know all about it already.

"Of course" I could hear the true depths to what he was saying. So much joy and content and, something else…? What else could you be feeling?

I decided to let it pass and jumped into his arms for an immense hug. Both of our laughter filled the quite night air as Lucius twirled us in the air. I looked down and gasped, we weren't even on the ground. Lucius chuckled at me as we flew in and out through the trees, scaring away the herd of deer we were just stalking, well, me anyways.

"Exhilarating isn't it?" I actually gripped Lucius tighter. Even if I knew that we couldn't die from this height and we couldn't faint, I was starting to get a bit queasy. Sensing this, both our feet touch the ground simultaneously. "Sorry Bella, I should've checked first"

"No no, it's okay" I was surprised to find I could actually speak. "I'd actually prefer that you didn't check. You know, to keep the future a secret for both of us"

"If that is what you wish, it shall be my command" Lucius extended his hand out and took mine, bringing it up to his lips.

My breathing hitched as I took in the sight. Lucius was so perfect in everyway; how he cares for me over himself, his smile, the way it quite literally takes my breath away, his eyes…

They are so deep. It's like if I just catch a glimpse I can see straight into Lucius' soul. They show so much emotion and hold nothing back. They tell the truth and nothing more. His golden eyes are one of the most beautiful ones I've ever seen. His and Edward's.

I broke down again for about the hundredth time this week. I collapsed to the ground and was pulled into the comforting arms of Lucius as I rid out my sorrow. "Shhh Bella, shhh" Lucius rocked us back and forth as he reassured me.

Will I ever get to see Edward again? What if I never do? It's nearly coming up to 7 months away from Edward now.

Ever since the time I ran away from the others, my human memories have been fading and there is nothing I can do about it. They were so clear when I first became a vampire, but now they are becoming more blurry as the days progress.

Edward's the one I'm having the most troubled with. Lucius says it's because it had been a long time since I saw him last in my human memories, that there was hardly anything real that has followed through into my new memories. But of course I remember the other Cullens 100 percent. But Edward…

I can hardly remember what it was like to feel his skin against mine, what he did to my once beating heart, his smile. All I can remember are his eyes. But I guess if there was one thing about Edward that I would always want to remember, it will be his eyes. So for that I am grateful. I just wish I could cry for him. I can't even do that. I can't mourn over the love I've forgotten about, the love that was hardly even there now.

I felt something warm land on my hand and looked to find a small drop of water glistening in the moonlight. I looked up to the sky, but there were no clouds around so it couldn't have been rain. Another drop landed on my hand. I looked at it puzzled.

"Tears are a beautiful thing Bella. They show us what we are truly feeling, wether that be excited, happy or sad" I looked at Lucius confused. Tears? I was crying again? How can that be so when we aren't even supposed to cry?

"I'm sorry. It's happened before. I don't know how though…" I sighed. If I knew how I was doing it, I would never stop. Lucius looked a bit guilty. For what, I have no idea.

"I'm afraid that I have something that I must admit to" What could he have possibly done that he wouldn't tell me about? "I have been the one that has created your tears. I'm sorry, but I knew how much you wanted to cry and I allowed you to, three times now" What? So Lucius has been the one behind my tears all along, in the shower, in the clearing, and now here. I wanted to be angry at him but I found my face turning into a smile instead of a frown.

"Thank you" I whispered so quietly, I wasn't sure I said it at all. Lucius nodded once and pulled me to him tighter, comforting me still.

We stayed like this for a long time. No, there is no time in this life so we stayed like this forever. That is until Lucius just suddenly tensed up. "What?"

"Alice is coming. I'm sorry, I let my guard down while you were crying for a brief second and she had a vision of us like this" Lucius rushed out all in one breathe i almostmissed it. Alice was on her way here? Should we run, or stay like this?

"Who else?" I couldn't handle more than her.

"Just her; they were looking for you when Alice had her first vision about you since you left. She was by herself at the time and came running. Would you like to stay and talk to her?" A pang of guilt washed through me. They were still looking? And blind too having Alice's vision blocked from her. But Should I? It is only Alice, and it has been a week since I ran away. Maybe…

"Can you please stop her from seeing us? I don't know yet" Maybe if I was looking at her without her seeing me, then I could make up my mind. Lucius nodded in reply and we began our wait for Alice.

I think it was around an hour later before Lucius and I both heard rustling about one mile away from where we waited. I instantly became on full alert; Alice was here. I looked at Lucius and smiled. He smiled right back, a true smile, one that reaches your eyes and I felt something in the atmosphere change. I hugged Lucius nervously as I waited for the approach of a frantic pixie on a mission.

As she burst through some trees into our line of sight, I stopped breathing. Alice was wearing clothes that she would normally torch instead of taking a second look, and they were covered in dirt, mud, blood; the works. Her hair went in all directions, giving her a desperate look. And by the look in her eyes, I could tell she was.

"Bella?" I almost began to sob again right there. Alice's voice sounded frantic, worried, sad and confused all at the same time. And I was the one doing this to her.

Lucius tightened his hold on me to reassure me as I stared at a disbelieving Alice. "Bella? Please come out, I know you're here. Please Bella" I couldn't take it anymore. I shoved myself out of Lucius' hold and ran over to grab Alice in a hug. The sound was like thunder crackling in our ears, but I didn't care. I continued to hug Alice like it was the last thing I would ever do.

"I'm so sorry Alice" I sob into her shoulder, tears falling and soaking her. I looked back to thank Lucius but I couldn't see him anywhere. I realised then that he wasn't going to show himself unless I asked him too. He was like that, always put me before himself. I mouthed thank you to where I thought he was standing and let go of Alice to look her in the face.

"Bella, where have you been? I haven't had any visions of you at all. And when I did, you weren't alone. And then just now, you came out of nowhere, literally" Alice looked completely confused and I actually laughed. Eventually she joined in too.

"That would be one of Lucius' powers"

"The other one you were with?"

"Yup" I popped the 'p' on the end for fun.

"So, where is he?" That's when I saw Lucius appear out of nowhere and begin to creep up on Alice, hovering might I add. He saw me and winked, grinning evilly. I tried to hold back the laughter but I was betrayed as it just flowed freely out my mouth. "What?"

"BOO!" I burst out in laughter, collapsing to the ground as I watched Alice jump a mile high into the air. Lucius exploded too and joined me on the ground. When Alice landed, she crossed her arms and pouted as she watched the two of us flattening the earth out.

"Ahem" I stood up with Lucius by my side and reduced the fit to mere giggles.

"I'm sorry Alice, my name is Lucius Boumbalis" Lucius extended his hand as Alice hesitantly took it while eyeing him.

"Bella told you?"

"No need. I already knew you"

"We've met?"

"Only in my knowledge"

"How can that be so? I would've remembered someone like you" Alice eyed Lucius again, making me embarrassed for some reason.

"Likewise. But we haven't met in person, only thoughts"

"I actually don't get how"

"You don't need to"

"And how come I can't see your future or…"

"…Smell my scent? Hear me approach you?"

"How did you know I was going to say that?" Lucius shrugged.

"I'm not a mind reader like Eduardo" Alice looked more confused if that were even possible.

"How did you know?" Lucius turned to wink at me again, making me smile. He was playing with her.

"I know everything"

"Everything? Like…"

"Everything"

"Whatever" Alice crossed her arms defiantly.

"I know what you're thinking, 'This guys full of crap. He can't know everything'" Lucius mimicked Alice's voice perfectly making me giggle. Alice looked taken aback.

"Bella?" Alice turned to me, finally allowing me to join the conversation.

"Hmm?"

"You have found yourself one confusing friend" I started laughing; I have indeed.

I know, that ending is a tad bit cheesy, but that's what i am sometimes even if it doesn't show through my writing:)

firstly, Bella's forgetting Edward!! NO! that can't be happening!? but it is, im sorry for dissapointing you. But if you keep on reading, i garentee you'll love it if Bella ever ends up going to Volterra (don't know yet;)

And now that Alice is back, what about the others? are they going to meet up with those three ever again? or are they going to just hang low? Read and find out!!
