Chapter 48

The next couple of weeks Alexis began to walk and talk at the same time.

Her first word was 'Mummy.'

Followed by the names of her family.

Samantha was in shock when she started speaking.

After she went to sleep on the couch Samantha's face relaxed.

"She's growing up so fast."

Haley snickered. "Now you know how I feel."

Samantha chuckled and turned to Blake. "Can you see her future?"

Alice cleared her throat. "Ah excuse me but what about me? I can see the future as well."

"Blake is stronger. And you only see decisions Blake doesn't."

Blake and Edward chuckled.

"She is going to grow up healthy and strong."

"Should we take her hunting tomorrow?" Samantha asked.

Haley nodded.


Nessie followed Edward, Haley, Samantha, Blake and Alexis into the woods.

Alexis let go of Samantha's hand and skipped forward. "Alexis stay close to me."

Alexis giggled and nodded. "When are we going to find something to drink?"

Samantha smiled. "Soon."

Suddenly Blake gasped.

He turned to Haley and asked. "Did you see that?"

Haley nodded and Edward growled.

"What's wrong?" Nessie asked.

Before Edward could answer someone came into the clearing.

Haley growled. "Abby and Emma."

Emma grinned and turned to Abby.

She smiled and nodded.

Edward gasped. "Abby is attempting to bring Tom back."

Abby closed her eyes and a second later Tom appeared beside them.

Haley and Blake gasped together.

"Samantha, Nessie go back to the house with Alexis quickly." Edward whispered.

Samantha and Nessie nodded.

Alexis went into her Mother's arms then ran away.

Haley turned back to Tom, Abby and Emma.

Tom grinned. "It's so good to see you again Haley."

Haley growled.

Tom chuckled and turned to Abby and Emma.

They nodded.

Edward gasped as they ran off. "They're going after Nessie, Sam and Alexis."

"You and Blake go after them." Haley said. "I'll handle Tom."

Edward and Blake nodded and ran off.

Haley turned back to Tom and growled.

She heard a scream coming from behind her.

She was getting ready to pounce on him when Abby and Emma appeared with Alexis struggling in their arms.

"Let her go." Haley said.

"Grandma." Alexis shrieked. "Help me!"

Emma grinned and disappeared along with Abby and Tom.

Haley stood there for a couple of seconds then gasped and ran back to the house.


When she arrived Samantha was sitting on the couch crying in Blake's chest.

"What happened?"

"When we ran towards Nessie, Sam and Alexis Abby and

Emma were already there." Edward explained as he hugged Nessie.

"We couldn't stop them from ripping Alexis from Sam's arms. They disappeared but not before telling us were they'll be."

Samantha lifted her head from Blake's chest and looked up turned to stare into his eyes. "What's going to happen?"

Blake closed his eyes and spoke a second later. "We are going to get Alexis back…."

Samantha sighed with relief.

"But…." Blake continued.

"But what?"

Blake opened his eyes and stared at Edward.

He nodded. "Tell her."

"One of us is going to die in the attempt."

Samantha gasped. "Who?"

"Me."

Samantha gasped again. "No!" she yelled as she shook her head. "That can't happen. No I will not allow it to happen."

Blake sighed. "Sam you have to understand that when I see the future it cannot change. No matter how hard you try you cannot change it. I have to die. Everything happens for a reason. Just like how I met you and how we had Alexis."

Samantha had tears coming down her face. "I just don't want to lose you."

Blake smiled. "I know but this has to happen."

"That's horrible." Jacob said.

"There's more." Edward said.

Blake nodded. "There is. We might discover Alexis's ability when I die."

Samantha gasped. "Really?"

Blake nodded. "She's going to become really powerful. She'll be as strong as you are Haley. I'm not exactly sure what it is. I can't really explain it."

"We have to go and save her." Haley said. "And see what that power is."

Carlisle nodded. "Esme, Alice, Bella, Jacob, Nessie, Will and Riley stay here."

They nodded as Edward, Emmett, Jasper, Carlisle, Samantha, Haley, Rosalie and Blake ran out.
