I'm advising everyone to go back and reread this story from the beginning because I have gotten a beta, and we've gone back and re-written the whole story for better understanding. To all my loyal reviewer's….thanks for the support and I'm so sorry for not updating sooner because my laptop broke/crashed and had to be fixed. And a big thanks to my beta. I also got around to making a banner for this story so go check it on my homepage, I'll start a small 'trailer' next…enjoy. I also posted a new Twilight story if you guys hadn't noticed. It's called Reborn so go check it out (after you read this chapter of course).
Chapter 12
Bella
"So they are only coming to talk to us?" I asked picking at a small spot on the wall. My two families were seated around the dining room table in the Costello's home, Alice at the head explaining her vision to the two families. The room was unusually still, no one dared to move, it was like a room of statues as Alice spoke.
"Yes, except now they have someone new on their side, like me, who has visions and they saw something happening" she spoke softly looking around the room" and they want to come stop it".
"Alice, what it is it?" Edward spoke from my left, his jaw was clenched in annoyance as his fingers intertwined with mine under the table and tightened.
"They saw two people in this coven being able to have child, a vampire child, who will grow to be about a teenager and then remain immortal like us" she said swiftly casting a glance in my direction" they also think a coven our size is a threat and that we might expose ourselves".
"That's impossible" Rosalie spat from her spot on Emmett's lap, her blonde hair fell in gentle waves around her beautiful face, her golden eyes flashed with anger. Edward's face tightened, so did his grip on my hand, which he now held twice as hard as before, I gave him a comforting squeeze looking up into his eyes.
"Rosalie, calm down" Carlisle demanded from his spot near the rear facing window with Esme beside him, Jasper tensed from near the door, reeling with all the emotions in the room, a calming feeling swept through the home. Gabrielle turned to look at him before turning back, her golden eyes surveying the room.
"So we'll split up" Allison said entering the room, closely followed by Harper. The whole room turned to look at the tall, willowy blonde.
"That won't work they have Demetri" Alice whispered her eyes taking on a faraway look.
"Alice?" Edward whispered gliding around the table and keeling beside his sister, his pale hands rested on her shoulder, as he stared into her far off eyes.
"They're getting closer" she whispered "they'll be here within the day".
The mood in the room shifted to worrisome, and Jasper frowned closing his eyes, attempting to change the moods of the people in the room. Sighing I ran a hand through my hair, standing up and walking out of the room, I couldn't stand the tension any longer.
I had to leave; it was the best thing to do.
Start with a new, clean slate once again.
Running up the stairs without making a sound, I pulled open my 'bedroom' door and through open my closet. Piling clothes in a suitcase, followed by an emergency wallet filled with fake I.D's, random car key copies…. and keys to a safe house on an island in Europe.
Only to be used in emergency's….and that is exactly what this was.
Running along the hall I threw open a window, listening to the hum of voices drifting up the stairs. I jumped, landing in the forest behind the house and making a run towards the car garage. Making my way inside I choose the last car I saw, a grey mustang with tinted windows.
"Bella, you can't leave".
I turned around to see Philip standing in the doorway, his tall frame casting a long shadow across the floor. His eyes looked dark, too dark, against his pale skin.
"It's the only thing I can do" I whispered hanging my head" I have a feeling something bad will happen if I don't leave".
"Something bad will happen if you do leave" he snapped.
"Like what?" I asked.
"You'll break Edward's heart. Again".
"Please you have to underst-".
"Understand what?" he snapped cutting me off" that you're so afraid of really facing what happened. How the Cullens left you again, and you decided to play games with them by making them think you were really dead?"
"Shut Up" I screamed at him, my eyes darkened almost to pitch black with anger.
"Your acting like a child Isabella, a small pathetic child" he roared at me from his position, his hands clenched and un-clenched at his sides, his jaw was tight.
Without a glance in his direction, I yanked open the door to the nearest car and got in, as soon as the garage door was open enough I sped under it and down the hill onto the highway. Turning onto the pavement, I slammed on the brakes, standing in front of the car was Edward.
His face twisted in betrayal, as he walked around to the passenger side of the car and got in, slamming the door, rattling the vehicle's windows.
"Get Out" I commanded through clenched teeth.
"I'm coming with you" he stated calmly, but his eyes danced dangerously.
I sighed putting the car in gear; the rain was just starting to fall, leaving long streaks over the windows. As we moved farther down the road I could make out the outline of a small being standing in the exit of the road in the rearview mirror.
Sadness over took me.
It was for the best…..
