"Really?! You are really going to do this to her?! I tried to stop you from attacking her. I felt your blood lust spike through the roof! Why would I hurt her? You don't even love her anymore! Now you want to break up with her that way? I'm sorry, but I won't stand bye and watch it happen. Goodbye," I said. I went to my room and study to pack up.
"Alice, are you coming with or staying here?" I ask, already knowing the answer.
"You know the answer to that Jas. Someone has to stay and protect her. Go get Peter and Char and come back we'll work out a plan of action when you get back. I will see you in a few weeks," she told me.
"Okay. Good by, my dear friend. No more lies, no more fakes. See you in a few weeks," I told her.
I was already packed and ready to leave. I got my keys, kissed the top of Alice's head and flew downstairs. I looked at Rose and Emmett, nod, and walked out the door. Time to put our plan into action. I was to drive down to Texas, get Peter and Char, have them feeding of animals and come back to make a new treaty with the wolves. I just hope it works.
Nine hours later, I was in Texas looking for Peter and Char's scents. When I found them, I followed them to a ranch house, complete with small farm, horses and pitchforks.
"Hey, brother. How've ya been?" I ask, planning to pounce when he opens his mouth.
"W--" I cut him off by jumping at him.
"You don't call, you don't write! You should be ashamed of yourself!" I tell him, giving him a noogie. We start to play fight, when Char reminds Pete to explain what's been going on.
"Right, so we've been preparing the guest house for Bella, Rose and Emmett. We got them clothes and whatnot if y'all have to leave on short notice. Is the pixie ready to do what she has to?" he asked.
Bring bring. His phone rang.
"Yes, Peter. I'm ready to do what I have to ta protect my friend. What will you do, though? Buh-bye now." With that, Alice hung up the phone. They might not act like it, but they really do love each other like siblings. Alice isn't all that annoying but she does still love fashion, but she's more down to earth than she would like people to believe.

Time to do what I had to.
I made a choice decision and let Eddie watch the vision that came with it.
)(Vision)(
She was walking in the forest when he came out. Edward was stalking toward her. She turned and, at first, she was overjoyed with setting him again. Seconds later, though, she saw the look in his face.
"No-one here to stop me now. I can finally finish what I started all those weeks ago. Say your prayers, Doll, 'cause you're gonna need 'em," he said, a creepy look on his face ~*~*~Vision Change~*~*~ He was walking up to the Denali's door. He asked for Tanya, said he finally wanted her and that he would stop denying the bond that pulled them together for a century or more.
)(Vision End)(
He seemed pleased with the end of that vision. He must have made the decision we expected him to, so I didn't say anything about the start of it.
"Carlisle, you, Esme, and Edward should go visit the Denali's for a little while. Rose and Emmett can have some 'alone time' and I can go visit Jasper down in Texas or maybe go shopping in Louisiana," I say. They know I love New Orleans so that's where they think I'll go. Good.
"Okay, Alice. That does sound like a good idea. See you in a few months," Carlisle said as I ran out the door to my car, my bags already packed to go. I backed out, called out a see you later, and started to drive.
With Edward
"Hey, Carlisle, I need to let Bella know we're leaving her here so she doesn't do something she'll regret. Be back in a few minutes," I told him, planning to do what I should have done for a while.
With Bella
I don't think I should have eaten that last little bit of food. I don't feel to good. Maybe I should lay down for a bit.
I go to my room and step out of my clothes and pull on some shorts and a light aqua tank top. I pull up the sheet and climb under, having thrown the quilt somewhere while I was sleeping the night before. When my head hit the pillow, I was out like a light.
)(Dream)(
I was walking in the woods with Jake on the left and Jasper on the right.
"Know that, whoever you choose, we both will still love you. We both know you'll choose in the end. Just be sure you know what you're doing," they say together. I don't catch the name they say, but I'm to busy wondering why it's Jasper instead of Mike or one of the other guys that fawn over me during school. Just then, Jake turned into a huge russet wolf and ran to the left and Jasper started to shimmer as he faded off into the right. That left me alone, walking a trail I know by heart, even if I don't recognize it. At the end of the trail was something I never thought--
)(Dream End)(
I jerked awake to a tapping on my window. I looked over and saw it was Edward. I went over to him and opened my window, letting him in.
"Hey, can I talk to you outside right quick?" Edward asked, looking a bit scared and self loathing was prominent on his handsome face.
"Okay, I'll meet you out there. Just let me change clothes," I said, looking and feeling a little apprehensive.
I tossed on a red sweater, jeans, boots, a scarf, and my black cardigan. I walked down the stairs, only stumbling once, and walked out the door.
We walked towards the woods at the back of my house and into the dark.
"Bella, we're leaving. We can't stay here any longer," he said.
"By 'we' you mean-" I'm cut off by him.
"I mean my family and myself. You are staying here. I don't want you. I already have a mate. I only wanted you because I couldn't hear your mind. I was obsessed with your blood. Everything I ever told you was a lie so you would do whatever I wanted. Just do me one favor, don't do anything stupid. It'll only hurt Charlie and Renee. I can promise you that, eventually, it'll be as though I never existed. Good bye, my little toy," he said, turning tail and running when he was done.
I began to wonder around the woods, never realizing it was this beautiful, or big. I'm still in shock from what he said. It has yet to sink in, but once it does, I know I need to be out of the woods.
I dob't know how much time has passed but the sun is down and I'm still in the woods and now I'm running, trying to find Edward, even though I know he's already long gone. I eventually collapse from exhaustion. I come to I don't know how many hours later, but I'm in someone's arms being carried. The man says something I don't hear because I'm already out again.
What feels like a day or so later, I wake up in my bed. I realize that I'm not distraught, but I feel sad and depressed. I knew it wouldn't last between me and Edward, but the rest of the family? How could they just leave without so much as a 'Screw you, Bella'?
I jump up, only to fall on to my bed again. After I reorientate my body, I stand up slowly. When I stop wobbling, I walk out of my room and down the stairs to get some food.
Dad's sitting at the kitchen table talking Billy and Henry.
"Hey Dad. Hi Billy, Henry. Is there any good food?" I ask, looking at them, not missing the stunned looks they give me, but ignoring them anyway.
"Yeah, it's in the fridge. You know, you were out for almost a full week. I was starting to get worried," Charlie said. "Especially since the note you left said you would be back at seven. We found you at about the in the morning."
"I didn't leave a note, Dad. Can I see it?" I asked. Sure enough it had my nasty scrawl on it, but some thing isn't right about it. It still looked to elegant.
"Dad, I didn't write this. Let me show you," I said to him, writing the same note under what Edwart wrote.
"See, slightly different. At least I don't have to deal with his controlling-ness anymore," I said, a light humor in my voice, though I had a noticeable undercurrent of hatred.
"Well, Bells, at least you're safe. You know we all will try to keep you safe. You have our word," Billy said, looking at my eyes and taking my hand in comfort.
I pulled my hand back and say thank you. I ate my food, grabbed my keys and told them I was going holiday shopping early so I got buy the good gifts. At least it's Christmas break.
I got into my black and charcoal grey sports-car and drive halfway to Seattle before nightfall. I got the car when my truck kicked it's last a few months ago. I make it to a hotel and check in.
"Hey, Dad. Yeah, I'm going to be here for a few days. Okay, I will make sure that I don't let strangers in. Love you, too. Bye Dad," I say. He decided to call me when I was driving so I called him back when I got to the hotel.
I was getting ready for bed when someone knocked on my door. I looked out through the peephole and saw a couple of people I was never expecting to see again.
