Chapter 16: Choices

"C'mon Alice, tell me" Bella urged when Alice didn't talk. Alice sighed.

"I dunno how to explain" She said quietly not looking at Bella.

"Just try, please" Bella whispered starting to feel dizzy now. Alice nodded.

"You know that James is shape shifting into Edward" Bella nodded but her head spun, "and you know that he combined the spells"

"Yes" Bella whispered. Alice turned to look at Bella her face serious now.

"Well, there is another way to break the spell, a dangerous one" Alice took a deep breath and said, "You have to pick the right Edward"

"Huh?" Bella didn't get it, "What do you mean?"

"I mean that you will stand in front of two Edwards. And you'll have to figure out which one is the real one and not James." Alice said with a tone of pity in her voice. Bella looked confused.

"It doesn't seem like something hard to do, and what's so dangerous about it" Bella asked still confused. Alice looked at her with sorrow in her eyes.

"Bella, if you don't get it right" Alice closed her eyes tight.

"What?" Bella asked anxious. She put one hand on Alice's. Alice opened her eyes, and they were full of pain.

"The real Edward will die" She whispered. Bella's hands clapped on her mouth, and tears filled her eyes. They sat silently for a while. Bella was considering her options.

"A…and if I g…get it r…right?" Bella asked shaking.

"James will die" Alice said quietly, "that;s why he combined them. To get you in the game" Bella started crying silently covering her face with her hands. She didn't know what to choose.

"Bella" Alice said quietly, taking Bella's face off her face, "think out loud. Tell me what you're thinking." Bella sniffed.

"Ok" She whisperd, "A big part o…of me wants t…to pick the f…first option, i…it's safer, but" She said wiping her tears, "James will never leave m…me or E…Edward alone. T…The second o…option is d…dangerous but it m…might work f…for the b…best." She said her voice shaking and tears started flowing again. Alice nodded.

"Can you t…take m…me to Carlisle? Maybe h…he could h…help" Bella pleaded.

"Ok. But remember none of us will make the choice for you. This is something you and only you could choose" Alice said restarting the engine. It took them a only a few minutes to be in front of the Cullens' house. Bella opened her door and tried to get out but she fell on the floor. Alice quickly picked her up and carried her into the house. When they entered the sitting room, they found the whole family sitting there. The tension was radiating from every one of them, once they saw Bella's wet face they all stood up. Esme was the first at her side. She took her from Alice.

"Oh honey, I know how hard this must be for you." She said gently. Bella broke into tears as she laid her head on Esme shoulder. Esme buried her face in Bella's hair. She walked to the couch and sat with Bella in her lap. She started rubbing her back.

"There, there. Calm down honey" She whispered. Bella tried to stop crying but she couldn't. She looked up to see Jasper, Alice, Carlisle, Rosalie, and …….. Emmet?

"What? Emmet? What are you doing here?" She asked with a broken voice, "You're suppose to be with Edward" She hiccupped.

"I know, but he wanted me to get back. To make sure you would stay human" He said quietly looking ashamed.

"What?" Bella gasped. She looked at Carlisle, "What do you think? Please help me. I can't do this alone" She pleaded, Carlisle didn't look at her.

"This is the only problem that we can't help you in. Sorry, Bella" He said the pain clear in his voice. She looked from one face to the other but they all wore the same expression, pain, sorrow, and shame. Bella looked at all of them with a begging face. But that only increased there pain.

"Sorry Bella" Rosalie told her, "we can't vote in this one" Bella buried her face in her hands and started sobbing again, after a few seconds she felt Alice's icy hand on her shoulder.

"You need to pick fast" Bella looked at Alice's pained face, "Edward is being tortured and he can't fight back because he doesn't want you dead" Alice said quietly. That's it, I made my choice, Bella thought. Her heart raced. She looked at them and took a deep breath.

"I know what I'll pick"
