Right after Edward said that, Esme asked politely, " I wasn't sure what were your preferences, so I made salmon with rice and red beans. I hope it is to your liking."

I smiled, "thank you Esme for preparing lunch for me as I sat down at one of the stools at the kitchen.

Without looking at Edward and still looking down at the counter as I continue to eat my lunch, I asked evenly, "Why Edward?"

He said, "before I left to pick up Bella, I read your mind and I saw your conversation in that dream. Everyone knows now so you do not have to tell us again. But clearly it has to do with the wolves, from the description of the Quileute man so, it will be best for you to go to their land and find your answers there. They have their history and legends tightly controlled. We do not know their history and not even Carlisle knows. He was at Volturi's castle and he went to their extensive library, so this is really outside of our domain. Not only that, but it will also reduce our worries if you stay somewhere where we don't use to worry about protecting both you and Bella at the same time.

Something felt off with what he was telling me, but I couldn't put my finger why it felt so off. I said, "Okay I see where you are going with this, but shouldn't you have asked how I feel about going to the reservation? Hell, how do we even know that they would be willing to open their secrets to me and let me stay at the reservation? It wasn't that long ago that the wolves saw me as a threat."

Edward then said frustratedly, "I know you are worried about getting imprinted on, but honestly wouldn't it be more in your favor if one of the wolves imprinted on you? the Quileutes will have to let you stay at the reservation. Either way, they have to because if they don't, our plan may fail and we all will die."

Ah. I think I know why he is acting this way.

I put my fork down. I looked up to him and said, "Are you really trying to get me to the reservation for my protection and to help me get the answers that I need or is there another reason that you aren't telling me?"

Edward growled, "No, there isn't."

Esme gasped and Carlisle scolded, "Edward! You do not growl at our guest! I know you are better than that".

Edward stared menacingly at me until Bella stepped in and asked, "What is it that you are not telling us Edward? Edward.. you promised me that you won't hide things from me anymore. Tell me."

Carlisle apologized, "Miss Ale, I am sorry for Edward's behavior. This is not how we taught Edward to be" as he glared at Edward.

"Carlisle you don't have to apologize on behalf of Edward. Its Edward who should be the one apologizing. He is the one to take responsibility of his actions instead of hiding behind his family," I said snarky.

I continued as I folded my arms, "Do tell the real reason why you wanted me to be at the reservation."

Edward said slowly, "Yesterday when I read Ale's mind. She said that Bella was destined to become a vampire, and I didn't want her to be near Bella to not give Bella any more encouragement to change to a vampire. If she gets imprinted on by the wolves, then it would take care of that problem."

I knew it.

It was like something inside of Bella blew up. Bella shouted, "Edward! This is my decision to be a vampire. Not yours. I know you do not like it, but I want to become a vampire. How many times must I tell you? I want to become a vampire to live together with you Edward, and I have a promise to keep with the Volturi. Since Ale is from the future and she says that I was destined to become a vampire and seen me as a vampire, then there is no problem with me becoming a vampire. Nothing should be stopping me to become a vampire."

Edward said as he grabbed her arms to look at her with pleading eyes, "I know, but this is not easy on me, Bella. It still going to take a long time for me to come to accept that you are going to become a monster like me."

Bella looked away with a hollow voice, "Is it that repulsive to see me as a vampire? Is it that you love me for my humanity, Edward? Would you stop loving me after I become a vampire Edward? Are you going to abandon me once I become a vampire?"

"No Bella! Don't think that way. I love you for you Bella not for your humanity" Edward exclaimed as he was trying to make his point across to Bella.

Then Bella, angrily said, "Let me go. I am upset at you Edward. You kept things from me AGAIN, and I don't want to keep arguing with you. I will wait for you at the car, so we can meet Jacob at the meadow to stick to the plan of using his werewolf stench to cover my tracks in the mountains when the newborn army comes ( A/N:I think they did this after Bella agreed to Edward's propose, but I am going to switch it)". Bella stormed off, slammed the front door and went to wait patiently inside of Edward's Volvo.

Emmett murmured, "Well, that was unexpected. I never seen Bella that angry before."

Edward glared at me, "Look what you have done, Alexandria. I was planning to propose to her again tonight with my mother's ring before the newborn army, and now.. I don't think she will ever forgive me when she already gave me another chance."

"No. This is on you, and you know it. You blew it, so you need to fix it" I told him off.

He disappeared probably to his room to mope like his usual angst self, and the atmosphere grew solemn. Carlisle eventually stepped in and said, "Although Edward's reasons were not just, his idea of for you to wait in the reservation seemed like a good plan to keep you safe as we are running out of time. I can go with you to the meadow when Edward, Bella and Jasper are to meet Jacob at the meadow. I can discuss with young Jacob and see if they would be willing to take you in for the night. If you do get imprinted on, then… we can cross that bridge when we get there. Are you comfortable with that idea?"

I hesitated, and I was reminded by the last thing that the indigenous man told me in the dream "So, go and take courage. We will be watching, and we know you are going to do well. Trust in your judgement, and do not let fear stop you from doing what you need to do. Take care Ale"

I replied, "Sure, that would be fine. Let me go grab a backpack worth of clothes and personal items to take with me in case I can go to the reservation."

Alice chimed, "No worries, Ale. I can do that for you". Then 2 minutes later, she came in with a medium-sized backpack, and passed it to me.

By the time that she came back, I finished my lunch. Esme picked up my plate and washed the dishes for me. She out of nowhere and gave me a hug. She said, "Even though Edward made you feel unwanted in this family, I want to remind you that you still have a home to return to. I cannot imagine what you have been going through these past few hours" I hugged Esme a little longer before I let her go to follow Edward to his car with Bella patiently waiting for us. The rest of the family will meet us at the meadow. Bella and I will first go there by car, then rest of the journey, go by foot to the meadow.

Bella was sitting at the front, and she was looking at the window as Edward drove.

This is the most awkward car ride that I ever been in, I thought to myself. I made eye contact with Bella at the side mirror. Then, Bella softly spoke while ignoring Edward, " why are you worried about getting imprinted on? From my understanding, it will be great for the imprint. They will have the complete devotion of the wolf. Just like vampires, vampires have their mates, and their love is never changing just how it is for imprinting."

I said," it is because I don't want to be tied to this world. If I get imprinted on I won't be able to leave because the wolf won't be able to tolerate the absence of his imprint. I never seen the wolves letting the Cullens to meet their imprints, so it is safe to assume that they are pretty protective of them. The wolves' life is literally tied to the imprint and honestly, I don't want that kind of power or control in the relationship. I don't want their life to be so dependent on me. I don't like how there is this theory that the wolf won't be able to survive without the imprint once they find their imprint. Unfortunately, that is how imprint works in this world. I believe that no matter how much you love a person, you should stay alive. You don't chase after them in the afterlife or death. I would want them to continue to live on when I wouldn't be able to eve if I die before them. Life is valuable. With the long live that they still have after I pass, I would like for them to keep experiencing without me. I believe that our loved ones are not the center of our life, but an addition to our live. This is probably just my way of thinking, but it helps me to not become codependent on anyone even if it will hurt like hell when I do lose my loved ones. It would hurt, but it won't leave me to be a shell of my former self because I still have my own identity. I am still me without my counterpart. I also don't like that I take away their choice, and they are forced to be satisfied with whatever I asked them to be. They have no say into it. Whether it is to be just a friend, a neighbor or a lover."

I continued, "Either way, wolves are very temperamental. It has good aspects and bad aspects. Good aspects, they are very attentive to imprints' needs and they are very affectionate. Bad aspects, depend how much control they have, they can be easily angered. Those intense emotions, I..I don't know if I can handle that.. what if they start shaking and about to phase, what then? Run? But it will hurt their feelings and reinforce the idea that they are a monster when they aren't. Stay? I could be in danger and hurt myself like.. Emily. I may sound like I don't have confidence in relationships and being negative, but I am just being honest here. It is already hard enough to deal with normal intimate human relationships, but supernatural intimate relationships too?.. I don't know if I can be what it is expected of me, but..if it does happen, then I will try to make the best of it"

I stared at Bella to see her actions, but Bella looked away with a thoughtful and a sad expression? Hmm. I wonder if she is asking that because that is what stopped her pursuing Jacob. Or maybe, it is jealousy because she didn't want to be abandoned by Jacob once he imprints. He won't be able to be there for her like she wants him to be .. most likely it is the latter considering how selfish Bella can be.

I forgot that I was in a presence of a mind reader when Edward growled at me. Then, he stopped the car, and when I got out the car that was facing the forest, Rosalie was there. I grabbed her as she flew me across the forest to make it to the meadow. When I settle down, I was a bit dizzy, but I was able to have her to hold onto me. Behind me, Bella came with Edward and she got off from Edward stiffly. Rest of the family was already there waiting too.

Jacob still hadn't showed up yet. The atmosphere was very strained until Alice jumped in and said, "Oh that's right. Even though you came from a different timeline, you still are from the future. Is there anything that you can tell us that can help us?"

I said, " well. . .I would just stick to the plan that you guys were thinking of before I showed up and messed up everything. There are some things that I would like you to change. When Bella and Edward go up to the mountain and hide out, they need to bring extra blankets or anything to keep Bella warm. Bella might get frost bites. The wolves need to learn how to phase in and out quickly because ..when a newborn's gets their arms around them , their ribs will be crushed by the newborns. Once they get wrapped around by the newborns, they need to phase out immediately, go under their arms then phase back to rip their heads off in a smooth transition."

"The Volturi are semi aware of Victoria and the newborn army if I'm not mistaken. Jane is the one who has been mostly overseeing this problem, and she has not reported to Aro because they know you Alice would be watching over Aro's decisions. . For this reason, Aro hasn't decided anything. If you focus on Jane, then you will know what she is planning to do. Jane, Demetri and Flex are going to show up at the very end of the battle to just let their presence know and to appear that they had all of this under control. I may be wrong, but the reason the Volturi didn't intervene was that they see this coven as a threat from the size of the coven and the amount of gifted vampires in the coven. Aro is interested in collecting Alice and Edward to his guards. This could be a strategy for this coven to be exterminated or reduces in size..If the coven have been partially defeated by the newborn army, I think they were thinking to step in to "save" you guys and to offer you a place in the guards as you would grieve for the loss of members in the coven, " as I said the last part unsurely.

It feels like there was something that I missing to mention, but I can't put it to mind. Maybe it wasn't an important information because I know majorly the big plot points of the books and occasional small crucial details.

Jasper said, "thank you for telling us. That was valuable information. It seems that the Volturi knows of Alice limitations, and they passed decisions to one person to avoid being caught by her just like Victoria did. Now we know that the Volturi were aware of this situation and refused to act on it. It makes it more of an importance to keep this coven safe because this coven is our home. Even though I am still new to the diet, it is our family, and we will protect our family even against likes of the Volturi".

Carlisle sighed," at times like these I would be hesitant to be at odds with the Volturi, but this is the family that I have created with everyone in this coven. This coven wouldn't have been a family without Everyone, and I will protect my family even if I have to fight against Aro."

Everyone moved y Carlisle small words of encouragement; it had shifted the atmosphere which I'm very thankful for. By the time Carlisle finished speaking, Jacob showed up in the meadow.

It seems like the timeline has shifted once again because he didn't come alone. There was someone tailing by him.

I finally looked both in the eyes, and instantly, their eyes flashed silver.

I looked confusingly at them, as they froze and looked at each other in confusion.

Suddenly, I was placed behind Rosalie as she snarled at them. I was shocked and even more confused by Rosalie's action. The one beside Jacob growled more menacingly than Jacob even though they both were caught off guard by their actions as well. It was as if..they couldn't control whatever was happening to them?

What just happened? This..doesnt make sense. Am I missing something?

Author's Note:

I hope this explains Edward's actions from the previous chapter, and No, they didn't imprint on Ale. She is getting only one mate. Something else has occurred which will surely be explained by next chapter! I know the previous chapter was a bit short, so I made more of an effort to make this longer.

Enjoy!
