Chapter 18 - So I'll Push Back

I felt like all my extra-human strength was back it was impossible to explain, as I grasped Victoria's flame hair and threw her against the counter. She got up quickly and grabbed me by the neck throwing me through the balcony sliding door glass shattering all around me. I felt pieces of glass puncture my hands as I lifted myself up then she grasped my jacket pinning me against the balcony edge. I looked down towards the inside and saw Bella trying to drag herself to safety; I felt my eye sockets burn and she gasped as I grabbed her and threw her off the balcony. She landed on the ground with a thud, she got up and hissed. Right on time Kyle and Jacob both circled her. I went back inside to see Bella, I helped her up, this was like James biting her all over again.

"Bella, I'm going to get you out of here," I whispered, she nodded faintly

I picked her up and grabbed her arm to support her around my neck, she had definitely lost blood and not an amount to keep you warm in the cheeks. We started towards the bottom of the stairs towards the basement then Irina appeared grinning.

"Going somewhere?" she smirked

"Irina, please. We are supposed to be family," I pleaded

She sauntered up the steps and got right in my face

"And those wolves took my Laurent; he was my family,"

"He was also the reason I almost got killed by a bunch of werewolves trying to protect Bella, he was only sent to kill Bella because he owed Victoria the favor. Don't you see she is using you, just like she used Riley. Please Irina," I begged

She pondered the thought then she nodded and stepped aside letting Bella and me through. I turned to thank her but she was already gone. We continued towards the garage where Emmett's Jeep was parked untouched, he never let me drive it because it was his precious baby but what he doesn't know won't hurt him. I helped Bella into the Jeep and then I went to the driver's side hoped in and hit the button to open the garage and there stood Victoria and Riley; he smirked in malice.

"I think you're forgetting this," Riley said tossing something to me, I caught it and it was Edward's head. I screamed and Victoria sped over towards me and slammed me against the cool concrete wall.

"Bella! Run!" I screamed; Victoria slapped me then she grasped me and threw me out of the garage.

She was right behind me as I stood up

"Well I didn't anticipate having two Cullens killed but it's all the more satisfying," she grasped me by the neck and was getting ready to snap it. I looked at the garage to see a werewolf disassembling Riley and then the weight of Victoria was off of me. I looked to see a grey wolf attacking Victoria; I got up to help him as we tangoed around Victoria taking turns at attacking. She started to get frustrated and then lunged right at me as her teeth bared.

"Your werewolf won't love you unless you're a vampire,"

I heard her and then the grey wolf intercepted ripping her head off her body and as he did that he turned back to human form. His body was limp. I ran over to him leaving Victoria's corpse. Once I got to him I flipped him so he could be on his back; it was Paul. He was convulsing and shaking erratically. He grasped my hand

"Please take care of Kyle," he sputtered

"I'm not letting you die," I whispered; I bared my teeth and sucked over the open wound ingesting the venom. I could feel the cold liquid filling my throat.

I heard screaming behind me but it was stopped, once I started to taste iron; I pulled back. I looked up to see Sam, Jared, Embry, and Leah.

"Is he going to be okay," Leah asked

"I got all the venom out," I whispered, as I got up feeling sick; I walked away from the group as they examined Paul. I walked further into the forest feeling worse, I felt myself slump against a tree and slid down to the ground. I felt cold as ice; I felt my eyes roll in the back of my head and I only saw white.

KPOV

After rounding up the rest of the newborn vampires that were in pieces; Sam lit the match and the pile of white carcasses. We watched the hill of vampires engulfed in flames and lift up a purple smoke.

"Hey Kyle, we have one more body for the fire but it's more of a decision for Alice," Jared stated looking down at Edwards headless corpse

I looked around and didn't see Alice in sight and I couldn't hear her heartbeat and I couldn't smell her scent anywhere. Weird. It was too quiet, it must mean that the fight to survive is over and everyone had gone their separate had taken Bella to the hospital, Leah had taken Paul to her mother who was a nurse for the pack, he was unconscious but alive. However, the only person that I wanted to see wasn't anywhere to be seen; we had so much unfinished business. I told her I was in love with her and it was the truth; since we met I never felt so alive. I thought I saw myself with Leah but now I know that I was wrong. Alice was everything I want in a partner. I ran inside the house searching for her, but she wasn't here. Then I searched behind the mansion and searched the tree line but again no sign of Alice, now I was worried.

"Kyle!" I heard from in front of the house; I ran to the front of the house to see her pale and in Sam's arms limp; my heart instantly dropped. I got to Sam and he handed her to me, I propped her head up and it lulled like a slinky; I stroked her cool cheek and her pale lips. I saw drops of wetness fall onto her eyelids then I realized that I was crying.

"Alice, please wake up. I love you," I pleaded I felt Sam's hand on my shoulder

"Kyle I-"

"No!" I growled; I placed her on the ground and listened for her heart. There was a slow thud but it was there. She was still alive but barely.

"I can fix this," I sobbed uncontrollably as I started CPR on her, I pumped her chest thirty times and then blew air into her lungs. Did thirty more compressions and another breath of air. Nothing was happening. She still lay there lifeless no movement but her heart was still beating barely.

"Kyle, she's gone," Seth whispered sadly

I shook my head, I picked her up and began running as the remainder of the pack yelled after me. I ran as fast as I could back to La Push; my legs giving out as I reached home. I opened the front door and it seemed like my mom wasn't home; she probably went to check on Paul. I walked towards my bedroom and put her down. She was still lifeless. I paced back and forth grasping my roots; I so didn't think this through. Here she was potentially dead in my house; I didn't know what to do. I sat next to her and looked towards her face. What I would do to see those beautiful brown eyes and her smile. Then it hit me; I had to call Carlisle. I didn't have his number. Shit. I got up and wrapped her with my blanket just in case my mom came back to find a half-dead girl in her house. I leaned down and kissed her forehead.

"I will be back," I whispered

I ran back to the mansion and went inside; I went looking for Alice's phone. I searched for her room but didn't find it instead I found a letter addressed to her; I know it was wrong to look through someone's personal stuff but she wouldn't know, right? I opened it. It was from Bree.

Dear Alice,

If you are reading this it means that the battle against the newborns is over but it means that I didn't stay and I went searching for Diego. He is like what Kyle is for you; your mate, your forever. I'm sorry I didn't stay and fight but I thank you for opening up your home and I will never forget you. I hope to see you again, friend.

Bree

I folded back the way it was and placed it back where it was; I went back downstairs and looked under the tables, the sofa. Nowhere.

"Fuck!" I roared and pushed the flowers off of the island in the kitchen and the glass vase shattered on the floor. I sighed and bent down to pick up the shards then I could smell a vampire from behind me

"Wow, such a temper," she sounded, I growled I turned to see none other than Irina. She had something in her hand it looked to be Alice's phone.

"I thought you ran for the hills," I stated

"Well I started to realize I had nowhere to go, and so I came back here," she smirked

"Give me the phone," I growled menacingly

"What will you give me for it," I felt an overwhelmingness of anger and stalked towards her. She smiled and walked towards me. I grasped her throat and pinned her against the wall, her smile faded and she growled in pain.

"I have nothing for you, now give me the fucking phone!" I roared, my grip on her neck getting tighter. I could feel my eye sockets burning. She lifted her arm and I took the phone from her. I put her down and she grasped her neck, I could see my nails made small cuts near. her jugular.

"I just need to know who killed my Laurent," she begged "Then I will be at peace,"

I sighed, I knew exactly who did it. Paul. He had gotten the kill of the leech with the dreads, but if she knew that she would definitely make sure that Paul wouldn't live to see the day. Even after everything we've been through he was still my brother and I would do anything to protect him.

"It was me," I lied smoothly, she turned away from me and shook a little bit then she turned back to face me and nodded

"Thank you," she whispered, she turned and walked towards the stairs, I followed behind her and as I followed her I noticed a liquid pooling from her hoodie. Once we got outside, she turned to me and smiled slightly.

"Take care of Alice," she sighed as she pulled out a lighter and closed her eyes

She lit herself on fire; I gasped as she screamed in agony. She dropped to her knees as the fire engulfed her body in the hot flames. Then I realized that she had made a trail of lighter fluid leading to the house and then the mansion went up in flames. Then it exploded the windows shattered I jumped back and I gaped in disbelief. I sighed in relief knowing that I protected my brother and that all our enemies have been slain. I grasped Alice's phone in my hand as I watched the mansion became no more.

I started to walk away back towards La Push and I was able to unlock Alice's phone. I

went to her contacts to call Carlisle; I pressed the call button.

"Alice, what is it?" He asked in concern

"Carlisle, it's Kyle; Alice is in trouble," I whispered feeling my tears threatening to break

"I'll be on the first flight in the morning," then he hung up; once I got home. My mom still wasn't home and I went straight to my room. Alice still laid in the same place I had left her; I sighed and laid down next to her. I rested my hand on her cheek and felt my tears well up.

"Alice, if you're in there; please I can't afford to lose you this time. I love you," I whispered

APOV

I opened my eyes and I got up from the cold ground; I breathed and saw my cold breathe. I looked around and it was pitch dark. I started walking and then I saw a figure walking.

"Hey!" I yelled

She stopped and turned to look at me and then ran off. I chased after her feeling my vampire speed fuel my legs. I was three arms lengths from her and tackled her down.

"Who are you?! I exclaimed I forcibly turned her around on the ground and I gasped; she almost had the same resemblance of my mother and a bit of my father.

"Alice!? Oh, Alice, it is really you?" she gaped in excitement

"H-how do you know my name?" I asked in worry

"It's me, Cynthia," she smiled

I got up and helped her up; she hugged me immediately in happiness

"I knew you weren't dead," she boasted; then I pulled back looking her over. Two things I noticed. First, she was just as cold as I was and two she had golden-brown eyes.

"Cynthia? What- How?" I couldn't find the words. I looked around at our surroundings and I looked at the tree that I was laying at. I looked dead.

"What is this place?" I whispered in horror

"Well you're in the afterlife for the supernatural," she said in a whisper

"Am I?" I turned back to her, she shook her head

"You're in limbo," she stated

"I have so many questions, I can't wrap my head around it." I huffed feeling dizzy. Was I dying I looked like a corpse and my sister; is she dead or a part of my imagination.

She started walking away

"Aren't you coming," she smirked coyly

I stood upright and followed next to her; then the scenery changed around us slowly; it went from dark to light and we were back where it all started. We walked in a cemetery and then came across a tombstone it was buried in leaves. I leaned down and wiped them off.

Lillian Alice Brandon; Mother, Wife, and Friend; 1880 to 1918

I remembered before I had met Jasper I came back to check on Cynthia a couple of years after I was turned. I hid behind the giant oak tree from across the grave watching her older self place some flowers. She took a step back and sat down next to the tomb

Hello mother, things still aren't any better without you. Father won't tell me what happened to Alice and is pretending she never existed and I have this gift. I know I can't trust my father to react to it. I can see the dead; they show up in my dreams and some of them haunt me because of father and what his family has done."

Silly me I stepped on a branch drawing attention to myself and she looked towards me cocking her head. I heard her whisper Alice and I ran off making sure she didn't get a chance.

"From that point on I knew that there was a possibility that you were still alive; well alive enough to be walking around like how you looked the last time I saw you," she smirked and I shook my head in agreeance."

"When I got home that evening; father had been drunk his second wife ended up leaving him. She really was a bitch," I gasped and she laughed

"Like you don't swear," she guffawed

Who knew my sister could act just like me

"Anyway, I questioned him about you and he switched his lid and threw his Scotch filled glass at the wall behind me. He asked me why I was so persistent on knowing and I said because you were family and he chased me around the house. I finally got a chance to lock myself in his study to search for answers. I found a letter from the psych ward that he sent you to. I grabbed it and he had called the cops on me; I escaped through the window and left that day to find you. I knew you weren't,"

"But are you dead? Alive? Part of my conscious," I asked

"Well, when I went to the hospital to ask about you everyone didn't know who I was talking about then as I left," she stopped and started shaking

"After I left the hospital I felt my legs being whisked from under me and I was being cornered in an alleyway. He said you smell just like your sister and then bit me; I screamed so loud that he slammed me against the wall then he left me there. I blacked in and out and it felt like fire was coursing through my veins. Once it was over I woke up and I could suddenly feel everything, my senses were all over the place and I wasn't where I left off,"

"Someone moved you?" I asked as we continued to walk.

"Well I woke up and I was in a house with no light, and a woman was there, she had blond hair curly at the ends and she had thought me about the "vegetarian diet". Her name was Irina,"
