Please give thanks to my wonderful beta Cullen Vamps. This chapter was a little difficult to write, I had to pull out my guide in order to it as close as possible to the facts. There will be some facts from the story that change along the way.

In this chapter, Carlisle finds himself in Biloxi, Mississippi trying to save Alice when he meets and another vampire who provides the history of Ashton Jones.

Thanks for reading and as always leave a review, or follow others stories I write.

Chapter 26

"I See Dead People"

APOV

I have been having these feeling for the longest time about things and situations. Sometimes, I'm right sometimes I'm wrong they are not always consistent. Cynthia my younger sister is one of my best friends, Rena the girl down the lane is also one of my friends. Rena has problems, like me she doesn't let anybody know it and we talk about the things we see. Rena is my age and she is fun to be with, but I don't get to play with her often. Her mother is afraid that I am a witch and could cause Rena harm.

Last month, Rena came to me telling me she had a vision that she was going to be sent away, and not to worry about her, because she was going to help me later in life. I didn't understand her, but felt sorry for her to go. It was probably all my fault just like everything else was around this town. When something bad happened I was the first they blamed, I should have never warned people, but I couldn't help it. When Rena left, I started having visions that something was going to happen to my mother. Therefore, I warned her to be careful. She headed the warning for about a week; we hid out in the house and wouldn't go outside for fear that someone was going to kill her. When my father came home, he was furious with me. He told me to never upset my mother up like that again.

After two months of nothing, my mother started to go see friends again, and she went back to the sewing circle. I started having the visions again, but this time I could see a man in a Model T run my mother off the road and down into a ravine killing her. The morning of the vision, I ask my mother not to go, begging her to stay, but she wants to go. I decide to ride with her to see if maybe I can change this vision trying to keep it from happening.

Edward was doing great by the time we pulled into town in Biloxi, Mississippi. Just in time to find Jasper and Garrett, and they had already meet up with Mr. Brandon setting into motion the death of Alice's mother. Of course, we would not be following that through, but Mr. Brandon didn't know that. Jasper and Garrett had acquired the Model T that was needed to pull off the vision for Alice. Apparently, Ashton had also given Jasper a letter detailing the information about Alice in order to do things properly. Edward and I had purchased a Model T to make the drive from Chicago to Mississippi. We didn't have to, but it allowed us time to talk and do different things.

The following morning we are on the road close to where the buggy was supposed to be run off the road. As we are waiting for the buggy, another couple of vampires come up to us.

"Are you Carlisle Cullen?" the female vampire asks

"Yes, who are you?" I ask

"My name is Rena. I am Alice's friend and she is riding with her mother this evening. I am also Ashton's mother." She states and I am shocked that she is Ashton's mother, but I am also shocked that she knows about him.

"I have a lot of questions for you." I state but Edward chimes in.

"She is like Alice will be, but she is like me too. It would appear that she could absorb people's abilities. She knows she's Ashton's mother because of her visions." Edward states.

We have run out of time to chat about the situation, because we see the buggy coming down the road. Jasper and Garrett step out into the middle of the road to intervene, and Alice starts to scream. Jasper sends out a calm wave to wash over both the Brandon women. This causes Rena to absorb his powers, and she is able to work with Jasper to sedate the women until we can facilitated the change of Alice and relocate Mrs. Brandon, we will have to also get Cynthia out of here. We don't want Mr. Brandon trying to kill her again.

We relocate the girls throw the buggy off the ravine causing it to crash on the ground below. Rena goes to the Brandon's home sneaking in to sedate Cynthia bring her out too. Edward stays with Rena just in case something happens; Rena has only been in this life for months now. Edward also wants to read Mr. Brandon's mind to see if he knows that Cynthia is alive. Once they have everything done, they return to start things into motion. Alice will be changed by Jasper, but he wants her to be open to the change. Which I can't say that I don't blame him, he wants to make sure this is what she wants. Mrs. Brandon and Cynthia will be given a large amount of money. Inside will be a letter from Alice telling them about how her father tried to have her killed. She will be moving to Chicago the house that Edward and I just left to be honest. She will also be taking the Model T; Rena will be helping them make it there. The rest of us will be staying here to help Alice make it through the change.

When Alice wakes, we tell her about what has happened how her father was going to murder her mother. How they were going to send her away, but we stopped all of that and changed the future for her. We let her know that she has a choice to make about this life. She recognizes Rena and they talk about what is going on, how she can help her if necessary. She also tell s her that Jasper is her mate and that she will never find anyone as wonderful for her as he will be.

Alice finally agrees and she writes the heartbreaking letter to her mother about how her father was going to kill her, and what to do. We take Alice to another house that Jasper and Garrett were able to acquire for her transformation into this world.

I patiently wait for another appears from Ashton to figure out where to go to next.

A/N: Well, Jasper saved Alice and the Cullen family is coming together nicely. We will see Esme next.
