OME (Oh my Edward) EVERYONE! I'm so proud of all of you! We're so close to a hundred reviews! CHEER! PARTAY! WOO HOO! I'm so sorry that I left you guys hanging last chapter, but I felt that that would be the best way to end the chapter. Don't worry. A lot more is answered in this chapter. I'm so glad that everyone loves my story so much! You guys make this possible! You're the ones motivating me to keep writing with your awesome, entertaining, and cool reviews!

So anyways, I had no idea that Peanut M&M's existed in dark chocolate form too. OME this is my new favorite canday of all time. So leave some. For me? Please? I think we can go to at least eighty five! I'm so glad that everyone keeps reviewing my story. I love checking my email and finding all of your wonderful reviews. YAY! I'm so happy! This really motivates me to write more.

Which brings me to another point: the sequel. With the way I'm thinking of ending this story, there won't really be a need for a sequel. I've been sifting through some ideas for new stories. I was actually thinking about writing about Jasper's past, because that was a part of the Twilight Saga that I always wanted to know more about. Jasper's story always fascinated me, and I read it about four times when I first read Eclipse. I always was trying to find hidden clues about his past that weren't really there. So tell me what you think! Please, review this chapter and also tell me what you think about a sequel. I don't really know if I want to include the wolves or not. I mean, the plot of New Moon is almost gone because Bella left already. So tell me what you think! Sequel? Jasper?

Okay guys, I know that that was a really long Author's Note. But now, here's the chapter (finally!). Tell me what you think! Remember, 85 reviews and I promise I will update! DARK CHOCOLATE M&M TIME! BRING ON THE CANDAY!! I love you guys so much!

PS: I JUST REALIZED IN CHAPTER ONE, I MEANT TO WRITE STEVE MADDEN STILLETTOS, NOT STEVE MARTIN STILLETTOS. (Steve Martin is a comedy actor. I always get them confused :) - sorry about the mistake!)

Chapter Fourteen: Alice

EPOV

"Why do we need to talk to Alice?" I asked suspiciously. Jasper gave me a questioning look.

"Don't you know what Alice's power is?" he asked me. And then I remembered. Duh. Alice could predict the future. She must know where Bella was going.

"Oh…yeah," I said sheepishly. "It is midnight, though. I'm not used to thinking at this time of the night. I'm probably going to end up being nocturnal after this."

Jasper smiled and called, "Alice?" Alice came down the stairs running and rushing to a stop right next to Jasper, reaching out for his hand. He took her hand in his.

"What's wrong?" Alice asked. "And where's Bella? Edward?"

"Bella left," I muttered. Jasper whispered what happened into Alice's ear. Alice's golden eyes went wide.

"Oh," she said.

"And now she's gone. She left me a note," I said. Jasper handed the not to Alice and her eyes glanced at the page, taking in all of the information.

"I haven't seen any–" Alice stopped speaking. She took a sharp intake of breath and was silent for less than a second.

"Scratch that. Bella's headed up to Denali."

"Of course," Jasper breathed.

"Is she running or driving?" I asked.

"Running," Alice replied. "Wait, didn't she take the car earlier, to your house?"

"Yeah, it must still be there," I replied.

Jasper spoke, "We'll need to take the Vanquish if we're going to beat her there."

"No, there's no way we could beat Bella to Denali. She's already two thirds of the way there. We can try to get there before she leaves though. She's planning to stay for about a day or so and work everything out. Then she's leaving again, going to Europe."

"How long do we have?" I asked. I knew that once Bella left Denali, we had nothing to go on. She could go anywhere in Europe. Even with Alice's power, we were blind. Bella would keep running for forever until we gave up on her. She was much too stubborn to come back. It was one of the things that I loved about her. But not in this case.



I wondered why Alice and Jasper were helping me. It was partially my fault that Bella ran away. But then I realized that they loved her too much to let her go. They knew that someday, she would eventually be hurt. Someday, she would eventually die. They had to do all that they could to help me, because helping me meant helping her. Plus, Alice already liked me. And Jasper seemed to be warming up to me a little bit. That was good.

"She's planning on leaving in two days." Alice replied.

"So we've got less than forty eight hours to get to Denali?" I asked.

"And Denali over two thousand miles away," Jasper said. Crap. This was going to be impossible. "Do you think that running will be faster?" Jasper asked Alice.

"That depends. On how fast you run or on how fast you drive."

"If we take the Vanquish, we can get up to about two hundred miles per hour, if we really push it…" Jasper trailed off.

"Yes, driving will probably be faster. Plus, Edward is coming with us and his weight would really diminish our speed for running."

"We wouldn't have to make very many stops," Jasper said. I didn't say anything. I was too stunned. I was going to lose Bella forever. This was completely impossible. Jasper and Alice were talking crazy. There was no way we could make it.

"Edward, stop being so pessimistic. We are going to make it," Jasper said. "You're really affecting my thinking."

"Sorry," I mumbled.

"Okay, Alice, you go get the car," Jasper said. "Edward," I immediately looked up, "where do you think Bella put the car?"

"I think I saw it on the street when I drove here," I said, unsure. Either one of these two vampires would probably be able to find it anyways, even if it wasn't really on the street. Even if Bella parked it in the forest.

"Okay. Alice, go," Jasper said. I looked at him.

"What are we going to do?" I asked.

"Steal from the supermarket." Jasper replied, smiling sheepishly. "We don't have any food here and we won't have enough time to make stops along the way. You're going to be eating a lot of peanut butter and jelly." Jasper grinned.

I groaned. But I would do anything to save my Bella. Even if it meant eating peanut butter and jelly straight for the next two days. Then I realized I was being superficial. I could, I would sacrifice 

everything for my love. I would sacrifice good food. I would sacrifice warmth and comfort. I would sacrifice my life, to save my love.

"I'll be right back," Jasper said, running out the door and leaving me to my thoughts. My two forms of comfort were gone. I was all alone. The impossible tears that had been building in my mind spilled over. I was going to lose my love. I was going to lose my Bella. I couldn't live without her. I could never love again.

I tried to clear my mind. But thinking absolutely nothing was very hard. So I focused on Charlie. He was going to be so pissed at me; I didn't even leave a note saying where I was. When I left the house, I was praying with all my might that Bella would still be here. That Bella wouldn't leave until the next morning.

I really hoped that I didn't hurt Charlie too bad. I hoped that Charlie didn't think that I ran away. Because I didn't. I was trying to save my love. I was trying to save my beautiful Bella Cullen. I needed her.

I got a new idea. It would take more than a day or two to get to Denali, if we were lucky. Bella had said that it took about two to three days to turn someone into an immortal being. Now I was thinking hard.

What if the only way I could save Bella would be to become a vampire myself? I knew that I would be changed by the time we got to Denali. If I was bitten very soon, I would be able to be a vampire by the time we arrived. I could then talk some sense into Bella. I could help her. I could save her from herself.

If she was leaving me to protect me, then if I was already a vampire, how could she leave? How could she let me go? If I was a vampire, there would be no reason behind her leaving me. There would be no reason not to stay.

But Bella would be ferocious. She would be horrified that a member of her family had changed me into a vampire. But the last time I looked into her eyes, I saw something. I saw her thinking about turning me into a vampire. Making the decision was one of the hardest things she'd done in her life. I bet that if we hadn't had sex, then she would have changed me herself. I looked back and realized I was stupid. If only I could have waited.

I knew that I could convince Alice to change me. I knew that it made the most sense. To me. And to Alice. She probably already saw me as a vampire before. I wondered if when I was dreaming about being a vampire with Bella, I was really seeing one of Alice's visions along with her. I knew that Bella, Alice, and Jasper all had powers as a vampire. They must have had some extra senses in their human lives. Like Alice could have had some predisposition, some knowledge of the future. She could have been a local psychic. And Jasper could have been a leader, being able to affect people directly. Make them see his way. Bella could have been a very introverted person. And that was why her mind was completely protected. I wondered if I would have a super power too. If I did have a super power, I 

knew what it would be. I would somehow be able to tell what other people were thinking, as I could do now.

It was at that moment in time that Alice returned with the Vanquish. I heard her turn off the engine and get out of the car. The door opened and shut, but I didn't see it at all. I only heard it. Alice was moving much too fast.

And suddenly, a small girl with short spiky black hair was sitting next to me, holding my hand. Alice. "Edward?" she asked.

"Alice, turn me into a vampire." I stated. A look of shock flashed across her calm, pale face. Then she returned to normal.

"Edward, I can't," she said.

"Alice, I worked it out in my head. I will be a vampire by the time we reach Denali. I can talk sense into Bella. Alice, she ran away so she could protect me. That's why she's running. But if I'm not a vampire, then what is it that she's protecting?"

"I know, Edward. I can see that this is the only way that your relationship will work out. This is the only choice. And, I can already see you as a vampire. One way or the other, you will become a vampire someday. Unless you choose otherwise." Unless you choose someone else. She didn't say it, but I knew she was thinking it.

"Alice, what's the wait for? We can do this. I can become a vampire. I want to become a vampire. I need to become a vampire."

"And Bella was already planning on changing you herself," Alice whispered. "I saw a vision of it, but I didn't think much of it. I knew that she would eventually change you. But Edward, whose venom would you want running through your veins? Becoming a part of you? Mine? Or Bella's?"

I considered that. But it didn't help the present matter at hand. "Alice, I know that Bella will not run if I'm a vampire. She will come back. She would stay with you. She would rejoin your family. She ran because of me," I restated myself.

"Edward, I'm not ready for that. I could kill you. Bella is right. You do smell nice. It's like cinnamon and ginger almost…"

"Okay, will people please stop commenting on my scent?" I said exasperated.

"Edward, you're in love with a vampire, who can smell blood. All of said vampire's family is vampires. Your scent is probably going to be commented on a lot."

"Alice, please. I'm begging you. Please, I need you to change me. I need to save Bella. I need to be a vampire."

"Edward," she sighed.



"Alice, do I have to drop to my knees?" I asked, trying to add humor to the intense conversation. "Pretty please with a cherry on top?" Alice stared at me.

"Huh?"

"Sorry, human expression. Actually, pretty please with animal blood on top?" I corrected myself.

"Well, when you put it that way," Alice said.

"Please?" I asked, attempting to make a very sad face.

"I have to talk to Jasper," Alice replied. And right then, Jasper walked through the front door, carrying eight loaves of bread, three containers of peanut butter, and two containers of jelly. "Dammit," I heard Alice mutter under her breath. She was betting that it would take much longer for Jasper to get back with my food.

I glared at Alice, who caught my eye and then sighed heavily, regretting what she was about to do. "Jasper?" she asked tentatively.

"What is it, love?" he replied, putting the food supplies on the coffee table in front of the soft couch and grabbing her hand.

"What do you think about us changing Edward? Into a vampire?" Jasper stared for a moment, shocked. Then he recovered.

"Edward," he said, addressing me. I looked at him. "Edward, you'll be a newborn. The scent of human blood will be very hard to resist. And we can't have any distractions. We have one goal. We can't spend time teaching you how to be a vampire.

"But I can help!" I exclaimed. "We have enough time. I will be changed by the time we get to Denali."

"How will you help?" Jasper asked suspiciously.

"Bella let because of me, Jasper," I said. "She left because she thought that she was ruining my life. She thought that she was hurting me. She couldn't take it any longer. Bella thought that she was taking away experiences from me. But all I want is her. She has to realize that. I don't care about life. I don't care about what I'm leaving behind. I only care about my Bella. I want to be with her forever, for an eternity."

Jasper looked at Alice and stared into her eyes for what seemed like an eternity. But it was really only a few seconds. The scene was almost…private. I felt very guilty just watching them stare into each others' eyes.

"Edward, are you sure about this?" Jasper asked me cautiously.



"Yes."

"There's no going back. Once you make this decision, you make it forever. There's no way to turn it off."

I nodded once. Jasper sighed.

"Alice, I think that you should do this. Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, and Emmett are away hunting. Normally, we would get Carlisle to change him. He's practically immune to the scent of blood. But you're the safest person here. He'll have the most chance of survival if you bite him." Alice looked at me, her golden eyes wide.

"Edward," she whispered. "I could kill you."

"I trust you, Alice. I know that you won't harm me."

"Lay down," Alice sighed. "Jasper, go put the food supplies in the car. Stay out there until I come out with Edward. I'll make sure that his wounds won't be bleeding."

Jasper squeezed her hand once more. "I believe in you, Alice. I know that you can do this." I lay down on the warm, comfortable couch. Then Jasper grabbed the food, though we probably wouldn't really need it, and ran outside, to stock the car with stolen goods. I felt like a thief. I wondered how Jasper had broken into the market.

"Edward, if I kill you, I'm really sorry," Alice said, leaning over me. I touched her cool, perfect hand. It reminded me of my beautiful Bella. It made me glad that this was the last thing I would feel, one way or the other. Whether I survived, or whether I…passed on, I would never feel this again. I would never feel the amazing touch of freezing hands. I was doing this for Bella. I was doing this so that I could be with my love forever.

"I can do this," I whispered to myself. I was pretty sure that Alice heard me, but she didn't say a word. She was hesitating, her head above mine, unsure of herself. I sighed again, audibly this time. "Just go for it, Alice."

I knew that the coldness would always be a part of me from now on. I was happy that coldness would be the last thing that I experienced. The last human feeling that I would ever remember, because I would never experience it again.

This extraordinary vampire looked at me. I really hoped that she didn't kill me. But then I was embarrassed that I ever had the thought.

"It's okay Alice. I trust you. Jasper trusts you. We both know that you can do this. You're strong enough to do this," I said, almost gasping with nerves. "I'm counting on you. Bella is counting on 

you. We all love you, Alice. Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, and Emmett believe in you. They would be rooting for you if they were here."

Alice smiled at me. This would be the last human thing I would see. Then I tightly shut my eyes and filled my head with thoughts of Bella, this being the last things I would think about as a human. Bella. My one true love. Even if I died, I would have died thinking about my soul mate. I was proud of this.

Then, Alice leaned down and stuck her perfectly white, venomous teeth into my throat. And the fire erupted from within me.

OME I know, I'm so evil ;) with the cliffhangers. I'm sorry. But that seemed like a really good place to end the chapter! SO, tell me what you think! Review please! Love you guys!
