The Choice

Chapter 13. The ImaginaryBattle

"Do not fight them." I said quietly to the Cullens. "The outcome is not good." "How would you-" I cut Emmet off "I have forseen it." Alice gasped "She's right. If we do, we'll lose . . . Emmet and Bella." The two's respective mates immediately went to them.

"What does the future look like?" I wasn't sure if I was asking Maya or Alice. "Ask her." Alice said "All I see is you two dying." We all looked at Maya. Her eyes were almost closed, but the amount of eyeball that showed through was a hazy white. "I will show you the future. Join hands." We quickly did. Carlisle and Esme were the ones directly connected to her.

I blinked, and suddenly we were in a wild meadow. I blinked again, and say Maya as a gypsy, with long gauzy skirts. Each blink brought on a new image, until finally one stayed the same. It was the area in front of the house. Everyone was fighting it out, except for Maya and Willow. Willow had silvery ropes connecting her to her friends, while Maya stood with her feet placed apart, thinning out the ropes and strengthening us while destroying Willow's talent. Willow had given her friends a boost, when suddenly Buffy got around Edward and killed me, while Oz(we automatically knew their names cause Maya had sent it to our minds) defeated Emmet.

Suddenly there hands flew off "This is the future I have foreseen. You must bid your time, and wait." "Why did our hands . . . ?" Alice trailed off "There is only so much of parallel futures a person can take. It would have been much harder on your minds if I had shown you the absolute future." "You can see it!" Alice was jealous. I smiled, going back to normal. "They are gone now. They can't handle being so close to a picture of the future." I said. Ana went to get a drink. I smiled and went to take a nap.

"Maya-the true Maya, is too powerful. It would be better for us if she was on our side." They nodded. "But we'll have to deal with it." "Can you guys leave for a bit? I need to talk to Willow." They nodded and left. Willow and I sat down. "Willow, don't tell me your still friends with Maya." She looked down. I sighed. "She wants to kill us for threatening them." I sneered on the last word. "I know." Willow sighed. "Good." I squeezed her shoulder.

My eyes went to their natural brown after I finished my nap. I rarely napped just to nap, and those who knew me were aware of it. I went downstairs "They have no strategy." Everyone-not even Ana remembered? Sheesh. Lousy git.-looked surprised. "Who?" They all asked. "The schoobies. I was spying on them in my sleep. I don't like naps." "Oh." I rolled my eyes. "Well in that case, let's go shopping!" I masked my horror, I was going to escape during the trip. Ana looked confused at my non-resistance, even as Alice dragged her kicking and screaming. Muahahahaha. Maybe I would stay-but not shop, and NO, I'm not underestimating the pixie-to see Ana's torture.
