Chapter Eleven

Gone?

Vasilisa's POV

I walked through the Cullen house sensing everyone's aura but one. Annaliese. I walked into our room (Edward's and mine) to find Edward reading a book. "Hey honey. Have you seen Annaliese?" I asked as I watched Edward sit up at my worried tone of voice.

"No, I haven't. Not since that week before spring break. Why is something wrong?" He asks standing up and pulling me to him. "Yes, something's wrong. I can't sense Anna's aura. See if you can read her mind." I watched as Edward stared off into space. After 5 minutes he looked at me with a worried expression. That was all that was needed. We ran outside to see Emmett standing still with Jasper waving his hand in front of Emmett's face.

"Where is she?" I yelled grabbing Emmett by his shirt. All I heard was one word. "…Gone…" Emmett whispered. I threw him down and ran to Edward. "Wh-what does he mean gone?" I yelled shaking him. Edward looked at me in shock and then over at Emmett, trying to read his mind. From what I could tell by Edward's face that by reading his mind wasn't helping the situation.

"It's not helping. The only thing that he's seeing is Anna kissing him and her running away and not looking back." Edward whispered. I turned to Jasper and tried to read his mind, but with me being so stressed and upset I couldn't read his mind. I collapsed to the ground and Edward stooped to comfort me.

Edward's POV

I was lying on the couch in our room (Vasilisa's and mine) reading a book when Vasilisa walked in. She had a worried expression on her face and when she spoke the tone was just as worried. "Hey honey. Have you seen Annaliese?" I sat up and put the book down on the table.

"No, I haven't. Not since that week before spring break. Why is something wrong?" I stood and pulled her to me. "Yes something's wrong. I can't sense Anna's aura. See if you can read her mind." I stared off into space and after 5 minutes I came back to reality with a disappointing answer. I looked at her and we were off. Outside we saw Emmett standing still with Jasper waving his hand in front of Emmett's face.

"Where is she?" I heard Vasilisa yell as she grabbed Emmett by his shirt. It was silent when Emmett spoke one word. "…Gone…" Vasilisa ran to me and shook me saying, "Wh-what does he mean by gone?" I looked down at her and then at Emmett. I read his mind only to see the scene that could very possibly ruin Vasilisa's emotions. "It's not helping. The only thing he's seeing is Anna kissing him and her running away and not looking back." She turned to Jasper and then collapsed to the ground leaving me to comfort her.

Alice's POV

As soon as I saw Anna's future blank out I began my drive home. At over 200 mph, I would need to steal a car in order to get back. Curse Jasper for dismembering my phone.

Well as soon as I got back, I knew I was to late… my new sister, well my twin (ironic) was gone…

I took one look at the others and at the pain in Jasper, I hid my emotions grabbing Jasper we went to hunt. But not before a dry sob escaped my throat as I collapsed ungracefully, Jasper caught me in surprise then tired to comfort me.

Jasper's POV

I stood there waiting, my hand in Emmett's face, as Emmett stared ahead. I began to move away as Vasilisa and Edward came out. I waited for my Alice to come home; I would be there to comfort her.

As if on cue, Alice arrived her emotions haywire. Then suddenly her emotions were blank. As Alice grabbed me dragging me off to go hunting. As soon as we were away Alice collapsed. I just barely caught her, I heard her let out a big dry sob. Not to mention but she fell ungracefully to the ground. That's why I almost missed it shocked me.
