Chapter 13: Wrong move

Alice's P.O.V.

"Alice, what is it?"

I blinked out of my vision, the room spinning before me as I felt nearly 100 years of visions slap me in the face.

"I told you it wouldn't be healthy," Bella muttered.

"I brought it on myself okay?" I retorted a little too harshly. Bella's face fell and I immediately felt guilty. "Sorry," I muttered.

"No, I understand." She placed a hand on my shoulder and I hung my head. "It's too much for you."

I lifted my head, shaking it in defiance of Bella's words. "Bella, Rosalie, we have to go, now!" Rosalie's eyes held a vulnerability I had yet to see from her. My curt tone, I knew, wasn't helping her.

"What's the matter?" Her voice, like her eyes, was unsure. The steel her words usually held was gone in a matter if seconds, and her focus continued shifting from my face to the view outside of the window.

"It's getting worse. Jane is... and Aro..." I couldn't finish, and Rose from the look of it couldn't bear for me to finish.

"How bad?" Bella questioned while dialling – who I assumed – to be Jacob.

"She's running out of hope, Bella. Charles is using her to his advantage, physically and mentally. She's being starved to the point where the burning's so extreme she'd do anything to stop it, I mean really stop it. Charles is tormenting her by bringing humans into the house. He knows she won't do it voluntary, but he's hoping by starving her he'll break her resolve."

"That's sick," Rosalie spat.

Bella continued mumbling down the phone, organising Nessie's sleeping arrangements with Jacob. When decisions were finalised she snapped the silver mobile together, a growl ripping past her lips.

"That's it!" She snarled. "We can't leave her like this. I'm going for her, Alice. Please, you have to help me-

"Us," Rosalie finished.

"Give me the phone," I ordered, Bella. She obeyed, Rosalie already packing

"I'm ringing, Carlisle. We're going to save her." I tore around the room, finally receiving the phone. Edward answered it, much to my annoyance.

"Carlisle's already taken off!" He exclaimed in absolute frustration.

"How far?"

"About 20 miles, he'll meet you there."

"Fine."

"We'll follow after him." I nodded, forgetting he couldn't actually see me.

"Tell Jasper I love him."

"I will."

I heard Jasper's heart wrenching response of "I know" float through the air as he heard our exchange.

"I'll see you there."

"Bye, Alice."

"Edward."

I snapped the phone down, my free hand throwing things together.

"Rosalie, you don't need that!" I shrieked. She gave me a pissed off expression before dropping literally her whole closet from her hands. "Thank you," I sighed while running my hands through my hair.

"They're going," Bella stated.

"Now," I finished.

I ran a last circle around the tiny hotel room before collecting the keys and the small phone I only used for emergencies. Bella did the same before joining me at the door. Rosalie spent nearly 5 more minutes sorting out her hair...

"Rose, you're going to be fighting against god knows what. I don't think your hair is really that important." She glowered at me in her reflection, but I ignored her.

"Alice, you know there's way of calling yourself?" She waited for my reply, so I nodded. "Well, this, dear sister, is one of them. I mean, at least you heard Jasper before what we know is going to be the end. I don't even have a chance to speak with Emmett," she finished, whispering.

"You have-

"I don't!" She retorted in a shrill tone. "I lost it!" She was on the point of sobbing, and me being me, meant I couldn't bear seeing her like that. I walked up to her, pulling her into my arms.

"You can do this. We can do this." She nodded into my shoulder before letting her hands full to her sides. "Now come on. We have to stay strong for Esme."

I grabbed her hand, along with Bella, pulling us outside the door, downstairs into the hotel lobby, and outside into the sunset.

"It'll take us an hour to get there. When we do I don't want any rash decisions. I have to be able to see what's going to happen." Both women nodded in understanding.

"Let's go." Bella ran on in front of us and I pulled back to run with Rosalie.

"She'll be fine. I promise." I held her hand tightly, letting Bella lead. After all, we all knew where we were headed.

The world flew by us in a whirlwind of earthly colours and Rosalie's hand got impossibly tighter.

"Thank you, Alice."

"You're my sister, it's what I do."

A dual carriage way was coming up and we crossed it with ease, weaving in and out of cars so fast, the drivers wouldn't even see us.

"We're gaining time guys!" I called happily. "If we keep this up we'll meet the boys down by the river!" Rosalie sped up a little, as did Bella.

I kept my tempo with Rosalie; the grass disappeared underneath my feet. Rosalie's long blonde ringlets flew wildly behind her and Bella's hair imitated Rosalie's.

The river could be heard just a mile in front of us. The water flew violently over the rocks and muted footsteps of my other family member sounded in time with the flow of the water.

"They're there already," I whispered more to myself than anyone else.

"And we're getting closer to Esme," Bella replied.

We carried on our mission, catching our mate's scents as we travelled.

Edward, tell them we're not stopping. We're going to keep running, join on at the back. I warned. We're so close.

I saw him nod in my vision and so relaxed slightly; knowing Esme would soon be out of Charles' evil clutches.

The sound of the thrashing water got louder and a distinct English accent became clearer throughout the trees.

"Carlisle sounds petrified, Alice."

"I know, Rose. It's understandable, however, considering the circumstances."

We waved around the trees until two statuettes appeared silhouetted in the moon's gloomy light. Carlisle was pacing as Emmett and Jasper watched him silently from the background. Jasper was going overtime and Emmett didn't know what to do.

"Em," Rose whispered.

He broke into a soft smile, chuckling under his breath. His arms folded around her.

"I thought you said we weren't stopping," Edward pointed out, blatantly.

"We're not," I replied a little forcefully, grabbing Rose's arm, along with Emmett's. They gave me an unimpressed glare. "There's no time. Esme's losing it."

Carlisle growled loudly and we were running again just as quickly as we stopped. No-one spoke, no-one dared. The tension was too great and it just clouded over us.

I was mid stride when my next vision hit.

(*Alice's Vision*)

"Good God, Esme. Why are you so stubborn?"

Esme didn't answer Charles' question. Instead, her muscles did. They tensed at his voice.

"Just drink. I know you want it."

She hissed at him, her eyes like blocks of coal. Her thirst was clear, yet she refused the human that was slowly dying in front of her by not breathing.

Charles grabbed her around the throat, throwing her across the room to where the weak human laid. He followed her body through the air before catching her around the neck again as she landed.

"Breathe," he commanded.

Esme shook her head and suddenly she was contorted in pain. I knew who it would be before I saw her face.

Jane.

Her lips were in a sly smile as she watched my mother roll around in pain.

"Stop it," she begged, whispering.

"Then breathe." She took a breath which was shaky from reluctance.

My worst fears became reality as I saw her bite down into the man's throbbing jugular.

(*End of Alice's Vision*)

Edward's face was contorted with shock and a horrified "no" sounded in the sudden silence.

A/N – I promise they fight for Esme in the next chapter.
