Alice's POV.
We were all in school today for once! I kept glancing at Edward, our eyes locking for minutes on end before pretending to concentrate again. I'd got my visions back and Edward had seen one, causing a situation.
We'd told our family to not wait for us after school as we were going to hunt. When the Bell went, I nodded at Edward and walked out to his Volvo. Jasper, Emmett and Bella were waiting for Rosalie to take them home. Jasper looked over at me and smiled, I floated over to kiss him just as Edward appeared and kissed Bella before we got into his car and drove off. I turned and mouthed 'I Love you' To Jasper, who smiled and mouthed it back to me. Edward turned to me and sighed, his lips curving up into a small smile.
"Are you sure you want to do this?" he asked me. I nodded stiffly.
"We have no choice, Edward, you know that. Let's go" I answered, my eyes straight ahead. He nodded and drove a different way to our family and we arrived at the Hospital and we were sent straight up to Carlisle's office, by a nurse, who knew of Carlisle's famous sons and Daughters.
"Alice, Edward, What can I do for you?" He greeted us, smiling at us both.
"Carlisle, we wouldn't ask this of you if it wasn't necessary, but we need to use your Mercedes" I said. He nodded at once and we traded keys.
"May I ask why?" he asked as I gave the keys to Edward.
"We are travelling a while and we needed a car up to the journey. We have some unfinished business to handle, Carlisle" Edward explained. He looked surprised but nodded nonetheless.
"Good luck, my children. I will see you soon?" he asked, hopeful. Edward and I exchanged glances and we nodded, smiling.
"Yeah, we'll see you soon, Dad. We love you" I said, hugging him, Edward did the same and we flew down to the Mercedes. Edward placed the keys in the Ignition and drove North.
I watched the forest and the town fly by, Edward was careful to not drive by our house. We didn't need them spotting us in Carlisle's Car. Edward looked at me and touched my shoulder.
"We're doing the right thing, Alice. We haven't a choice" he sighed, his voice remorseful. I nodded.
We didn't have any other choice.
"I just wish it didn't have to be this way" I Whispered, Edward nodded and kissed my hair.
"Trust me, Little Sister. I don't want this to happen either. We're doing this to protect them, Our Soul mates, Our Siblings and our Parents… My daughter and your Niece" Edward said his voice breaking. I sighed and tried not to think of Jasper and our family, waiting for us at home. Edward, realising this, turned to me.
"Alice, He'll forgive you. You're doing this for him; you're doing this to protect him. We've stopped them from coming to Forks, Meeting them in Canada is our only option" He explained.
"I know it is. I didn't realise They were up for Negotiation" I sighed.
"They are, when it comes to us" he replied, in a hard tone. I nodded and turned to look out the window.
I knew I was doing the right thing, to protect our family. I just didn't want to hurt Jasper by doing this behind his back… I just didn't want to hurt him, full stop. The Vision was of the Volturi coming to our house and wanting Edward, Bella, Nessie and I, Our family fought and were destroyed in front of us. Edward and I had both agreed we wouldn't let that happen so now we were on route to Canada to talk to them.
I wasn't going to lie. I'm scared out of my mind, but if it protects our family, then it's worth it. I just hoped Jasper forgave me for this, I loved him too much to lose him, and I know he'd do the same thing for me. I glanced at Edward and saw the pain in his eyes. This would be the third time we had faced the Volturi, and each time it got worse.
Every time I replayed that vision in my mind, the stronger my determination grew to protect my family from the leaders of our world.
My Phone buzzed then as Edward's did. I looked down at the name and closed my eyes in pain.
"Jasper" I whispered.
"Bella" He whispered. We looked at each other before declining their call, with trembling hands. I took a deep breath and turned my phone off and threw it in the back of the car, my breathing getting quicker, a sure sign that I needed to cry. Edward did the same and gripped the steering wheel so hard, it almost broke. I looked at him and shook my head.
"We can't tell them… they'll understand… I hope" I whispered. Edward nodded, his breath catching in his throat as he tried to answer me. I glanced down at my left hand and saw my wedding band. I knew of the dangers of our choice, but it hurt, knowing that doing this means leaving our soul-mates behind for a little while.
But we had to do it; I just hope they still love us… no matter what happens today.
I blinked in shock when I realised how close we were, I bit my lip, almost wishing I had Jasper here with me. I shook my head, getting rid of the thought entirely.
I would not place him or any member of our family in danger, that was why we were doing this.
To protect them from this danger, whatever it may be, that Edward and I were going to face now. Edward parked the car and we broke into a sprint into the forest – our decided meeting area. We looked at Each other with Sad eyes. We stopped just outside of the clearing, and we took a deep breath, Knowing that we couldn't turn back now.
As we walked forward to face our uncertain future, one sentence was swimming in my mind,
'I'm sorry, Jasper. I love you.'
