Wow... O.O

Guys, thank you for all of your reviews, really, I never expected to have so many at once! I'm so glad you all liked the last chapter, that was really the one I'd been dying to write, it was actually thanks to that last scene (preface) that this whole story came to be. To everyone who reviewed: thanks a ton! I'll reply to all of your reviews once I'm back, and to those who don't have an account, I'll post your replies at the end of next chapter!

Also PLEASE READ THIS, it's IMPORTANT.

Due to the fact that I've been very busy, this mini chapter, was all I could write for you guys. It's more like a rough draft and just a preview. I know it's way too short, but it was all I could do not to leave you just hanging in there. I'll post the real chapter once I'm back home!

Help me save her.

Anna's words echoed inside of my head, while I just stared at her, my eyes unfocused. I knew she needed my full attention right then, but all I could see was Bella's smiling face, and I couldn't help but wonder…will I ever see her again?

"Alice?" Anna whispered.

My hands were shaking, and I could hear her faint voice, but I couldn't bring myself to answer. My mind kept replaying the moment Bella walked away from us, over and over. How could I let her slip through my fingers?

"Alice?" Jasper said.

So stupid.

"Alice," Anna called me again, her voice stronger. But once again I didn't acknowledge her. I was so far gone, I barely noticed Carlisle going to Anna's aid.

"She's gonna die Alice!" her anguished cry finally brought me back to my senses and I looked at her, really looked at her.

"What can I do?" I asked quickly, desperate for some kind of hope.

"You have to come with me," she said just as quick, struggling to get up, while Carlisle told her to take it easy. He was examining her wounds and he didn't seem to like what he was seeing.

"She's not going anywhere with you!" Jasper exclaimed from somewhere behind me.

"Jasper!" I said, locking eyes with him as Carlisle and I helped Anna back on her feet.

"You have to come with me, if you want to save her," she said weakly.

"Save who?" Emmett said.

"Isn't it obvious Emmett? It's Elizabeth," Rosalie's voice rang out from the back, "But why would she need any saving?" a touch of bitterness in her voice.

I faced my sister and decided it was time to tell everyone the truth.

"Because she's–" my words stopped when I felt Anna grip my arm tightly. I turned to look at her questioningly. Her eyes met mine, and once I caught a glimpse of her terrified expression, I suddenly understood why she'd stopped me. The message was clear: Don't tell them.

I opened my mouth to ask 'why?' but she only shook her head, "I promised," she whispered. "But you have to come with me. I can't do it alone," she said, wincing a little when she breathed out.

"You can't go anywhere in that state," Carlisle told Anna, "I won't let you,"

"You're not going to stop me," she wheezed, "I'll fight you if I have to," she said, her eyes hard. I stood there, staring at her in awe. Admiring her determination. She really cared for Bella.

"If you don't rest, you'll only worsen your injuries," Carlisle said sternly, "How did you even get those?" he asked pointing at her ribcage.

"That doesn't matter right now,"

But she was stubborn too, Carlisle was right; she was in no condition to go anywhere. She had a bad burn on the left side of her face, and judging by the way she was clutching her sides, I guessed she was hiding some other wounds, besides the scratches and bite marks we could see. I decided to try and convince her to tell me what she knew. That way she could stay and we could rescue Bella.

"Anna," I started.

"No Alice!" she said, "You don't understand! He's been waiting for this opportunity for decades! You have no idea what Kurt's going to do with her!" she exclaimed, anger blazing in her eyes.

"Whatever he's going to do with her, is none of our business," Rosalie said, "She brought it on herself,"

"Yeah, only because of you!" Anna hissed.

Oh my God, did that mean what I thought it meant?

"What?" Rosalie asked, confused.

Had Bella agreed to go with Kurt, for our sake?

"You heard me," Anna said through clenched teeth.

"Hey! Careful…" Jasper warned her, glaring at her.

"No, you be careful Jasper," she said, returning his glare, "I'm not like Liz. I'm not as quick to forgive, as she is"

"What are you talking about?" he asked, "What do you have to forgive, we've done nothing to you!" he said.

"It's not what you've done to me that's the problem!" she yelled.

I gasped in realization. She was talking about Bella. She knew her story, and the part we had played in her death. That's why she had glared at Edward when we first met her!

"Alice," Carlisle said, taking a step forward, "Do you know something, that we don't?"

She couldn't forgive us for what we'd done. Not the way Bella had.

"I…" I trailed off as Anna's grip on my arm intensified. "…I can't tell you," I whispered, shaking my head.

"Alice, love…" Jasper began, as he approached me, his hand reaching out. I looked at him, torn.

"You coming?" said Anna.

My eyes darted from Jasper to Anna, "I…" I felt like I had already made my choice, but…what about my family?

I felt Anna let go of me, and I saw her jerk herself away from Carlisle, and say, "I think I'll take my leave now, I'm sorry for bothering you," she said coldly, "You know Alice, I expected more of you," she added, looking at me straight in the eye.

"Anna, wait," Esme said, "Let us help you," she said, surprising everyone in the room, including Anna herself.

"Thank you Esme," she said quietly after recovering, "But I only came here to seek Alice's aid, and I've already wasted too much time," she said starting to walk away.

No!

"Wait!" I called out, making my decision and causing her stop on her tracks, "I'll go with you," I stated firmly.

"Then I'll go too," came Jasper's unexpected offering.

"What?" I gasped.

"No you won't," Anna said, "Only Alice can come,"

"Why?" asked Emmett, "I want to kick some butt too,"

"I can't take you all," she said, "That's just exactly what he wants,"

"Then why are you taking Alice?" Jasper asked.

"Because she's the only one I can't do this without," she said softly.

Jasper turned his gaze on me, "Alice," he said. The way he said my name, it was as if he was afraid it would be the last time he'll ever see me. Like I would be lost forever once I walked out the door. I hated to cause him any grief, but I couldn't leave Bella to die. Not again. Because this time, I could do something.

"No Jazz," I said brokenly, "I have to go,"

"Why?" he said, "Why risk your life for that girl, that traitor?"

I closed my eyes for a moment and swallowed hard, struggling to keep myself from saying what I so desperately wanted to say. I made my way to him after a couple of seconds. I put my arms around him and he pulled me close to his chest. I could feel his fear for my life coming off him, and I tried to feel as calm as I possibly could with the thoughts that were running through my mind. It didn't help much.

"Keep an eye on Sabrina," I whispered to his ear –so low only he could hear– remembering what Bella had said about Sabrina when Edward had accused her of being a backstabber. "I love you Jazz," I said before kissing him softly and tenderly. He kept his eyes closed even as I broke away. "Take care," I said, caressing his face one last time before joining Anna.

"Alice," Esme said, "Why are you doing this?"

I gazed at my family and felt a pang of remorse when I saw their confused expressions. I shared a look with Anna before I addressed them.

"I'll explain everything when I'm back," I said, "You'll understand then…goodbye," I said supporting Anna.

I had already helped Anna inside the Porsche and was about to get in too, when I heard Jasper's voice.

"Alice! Don't go!" he cried out.

It took all my strength, and then a little bit more not to look at him. Because I knew if I looked into my husband's pleading eyes I would never be able to leave. I couldn't do that to Bella.

I'll do whatever it takes to bring her back.

So I ignored Jasper, hopped in, and drove away, the sound of screeching tires drowning out his desperate shouts.

Thank you for reading guys! Stick with me! I'll see you next month!!

Have a nice summer!!! :)
