Twilight and its amazing characters belongs to Stephanie Meyer. Very jealous at the moment.

Chapter 25

AlicePOV

Carlisle's face looks into mine, worried. He is pressing down into the wound. I feel the blood coming up and I cough it out.

"I have to close the wound. Give me the tape!" Carlisle shouts in panic. I look up and see Bella with Edward on one side and Jasper, Rose and I were on the other side looking down in fear.

Wait! If that's me standing over there then who is this?

"Emmett grab the gun!" Jasper called out in the distance.

"Esme get the ambulance here now! Stay with me!" Carlisle calls over his shoulder then turns to me and shouts in fear.

I feel my body giving out on me and darkness consume me.

"No! No!" Bella cries out, tears streaming down her face. Edward is pulling her away as Carlisle hisses

"Edward get her out of here!" Carlisle begins pumping my chest, his eyes wild and his forehead covered in sweat.

I can't keep my eyes open anymore...I'm going to miss them...

I gasp loudly and sit up. My heart is beating wildly and I'm shaking. I had not had a vision for some time but this one was scary.

"Babe, are you okay?" Jasper sits up with me and whispers. I shook my head and felt the tears pour down my face. He rubs my back and looks at me, concerned.

"Come on." He says as he takes me out the door and into the hallway. He holds me to him and whispered soothing sounds.

"I had a vision."

"Vision? You haven't had one in a long time. What happened?" I looked at him and took a deep breath

"I think someone is going to be shot. Carlisle can't save them. They die. I saw it. I was in their body." Jasper closed his eyes and sighed

"Do you have any idea who it is?" I shook my head

"I couldn't tell. I felt so weak. So sleepy. There was blood everywhere. Someone was shot."

"Was the whole family okay?" I nodded

"It's not any of us." Jasper nodded and looked back to the bedroom

"You have to tell the others."

"How? Bella doesn't even know I get visions." Jasper motioned to the door expectantly

"Then tell her" I knew this wasn't going to turn out good.

The next morning as we were all getting ready for the day I called a family meeting.

"I had a vision again." Esme gasped

"It has been some time."

"I'm sorry, vision? Alice, since when did you have vision?" Bella asked in disbelief.

"Since birth I assume. I've always had them. I saw something. I saw someone getting shot here in the Circus. I don't think they get saved no matter how much you try Carlisle. The best option is to keep our guard up and take care of our friends."

"And you kept this from me why?" Bella looked frustrated and Edward was trying to calm her down.

"No. I want to hear the truth. Why did you keep this from me? All of you!"

"Bella, I think Alice's visions were the least of our worries over the last few weeks. Please keep your voice down." Esme snapped.

"I'm sorry Bella. You're right, I should have said something. I guess in the midst of everything I forgot. The last vision I had was over a year ago. They come to me very unpredictably and they are subjective." I said soothingly.

Bella's shoulders were tense and I saw her glowering at me.

"Does anyone else know this?" I rolled my eyes

"Oh yes like I want everyone to know so they can call me a freak and use me to their advantage."

"Point taken" Bella mumbled and sat with her head in her hands

"So you don't know who was shot?" Carlisle asked, changing the subject slightly. I shook my head

"No but someone has a gun on this train. Keep an eye out."

BPOV

As we all left the room I took a moment to gather myself. Maybe I was a bit harsh on Alice but I had good reason. I thought we were beyond secrets in the family. Apparently not. It hurt. A lot.

Edward pulled me to one side and looked at me

"Are you okay?" I nodded

"Bella that was not necessary. Please understand how delicate the situation is. We don't want anyone to find out."

"But you couldn't tell me?" I barked. Edward barked back

"Not if you thought you were going to react like this. No." There was tense moment of silence between us before Edward's voice soothed again

"Alice doesn't ask for this. She would give it away if she could but she can't. She deals with the unpredictably of it and we have to support her. All we ask now is that you do the same." I nodded.

"You're right. I'm sorry."

"Don't apologize to me. Apologize to Alice." He said as he started walking away. I followed him for a while till he put an arm around me. I was forgiven.

We ate and then took the morning to do our own things. I saw Sue sitting at a table by herself and I smiled and walked over. I had not spoken to her for a while.

As I approached I saw her reading a letter with a sad face.

"Sue?" Sue turned to me and put on a smile

"Hello Bella. How are you?" I nodded and sat down opposite her.

"I see you and Edward finally saw what we all saw." I bowed my head with a little blush

"I was stubborn. What more can I say?"

"Was stubborn?" She teased. I shook my head and motioned to the letter

"What does it say?" Sue looked at the paper and sighed

"My daughter. She writes to let me know that she is graduating and wants me to attend." I smiled

"That's great. Congratulations. When is the big day?"

"Tomorrow. She is in the next city we leave for tonight but I can't go."

"Why not?" I ask bewildered

"Marcus forbids it." She stated lowly. I gasped

"The nerve of him! This is your daughter. You cannot miss an important time of her life." Sue scrunched up the letter in frustration

"I would go if I could Bella but she is also Marcus' daughter and he is my boss. I need permission and I don't have it. What more can I do?"

I sat and contemplated.

"Well...they don't have to know. Sneak over for the day and be back in time for the show." Sue gasped

"Take off? Bella it's dangerous." I sighed

"I know it is Sue but think about it. When are you going to get another opportunity to see her? By the time the train does another full circle it will already by a year or so I assume. Don't miss this chance. It's only for three hours right?"

"Four. We need a car and I need an alibi." I smirked

"And you will get one. I promise." Sue hugged me and took a deep breath

"We have to be very careful. Very careful." She said.

VictoriaPOV

I stood before Caius, completely naked and he motioned me over with his index finger. I winked and took a drink of whiskey before I swayed my hips and walked over to him.

I straddled him and ran my hands over his bare chest. I could now add a Volturi to my list of men and having a man of such power under me was exhilarating. However this was all to reach my ultimate goal of having Emmett.

"Hey pretty lady. Come back to me." I turned my eyes down to Caius whose big grin told me he was ready for another round.

"What's on your mind?" I batted my eyelashes flirtatiously

"You." He chuckled and ran his hands over my bare breasts

"Sweetie I have been alive a lot longer than you. I know a thing or two and so that's not the truth."

"Just thinking of plots darling." He played with my nipples and was very interested

"Anything come to mind?" I shrugged

"Perhaps. The Cullens need one moment of weakness and we come in for the kill. Otherwise I can just another resource." Caius lifted an eyebrow
"Another resource?" I nodded. I played with his chest hairs as I spoke with a hushed voice

"Yes. Last week as James left Bella in the hotel room he bought us a very handy tool." Caius stopped his hand movements as he waited for me to continue

"A gun, lover. A gun. If it is needed then I have it ready and loaded." The grin that appeared on his face was huge

"I think of a few you can shoot with that thing." I winked

"If you stand by us then you can shoot whoever you want."

"Oh I love the way you think my dear." He brought me down for a deep kiss which aroused us enough. I sat on him and closed my eyes, thinking of Emmett. It made my body's pleasure intensify. I got wetter and my nipples hardened. Caius was enjoying it as well as he growled deeply and I gripped the headboard and rode him hard.

Emmett was mine and when the time came we would be doing this a lot. If in doubt I can just use the gun and shoot that pretty wife of his.

BPOV

I felt a chill go through me as I passed one of the carriages. I couldn't figure out why but I decided to take a quick peak. When I saw Victoria and Caius my eyes widened and I took off to tell the others.

Something wasn't right. I could tell.

Short chapter but the next one will make up for it. A lot happens next time.

A twist, a secret meeting and a secret witnessing. It all has consequences.
