CHAPTER THREE

Visions of a near future

As they entered the plane, Julie held her breath, trying to ignore the burn in her throat. She was not thirsty, but humans always smelt so nice. Thomas didn't seem to be bothered or he was just a better actor than she was.

She took the seat next to the window as he sat next to her. She was happy that earlier he had mentioned that he couldn't read her mind. She had not thought about that fact before when her thoughts were running wild in her mind. What would have been the consequences if Thomas had the same gift as his brother and ended up telling everything to Aro?

Who would warn the Cullens? Surely, Alice could foresee some of it, but the timeline could be too close for them to run away or prepare themselves. She closed her eyes, mostly trying to relax her stiff posture. Acting human didn't come as easily to her as it seemed to be for Thomas. His attitude made her doubt so many things and she wondered if she would get the answers to her questions. She reopened her eyes when she felt his on her. She turned her head in his direction and he simply smiled.

"You're too stiff." He whispered to her and she just rolled her eyes.

She once again tried to relax her body, but her irritation with him made it harder.

"So what's the plan? We arrived in Forks and kill them right there?" He asked her, still in a whisper. "Might have fun with them first; let them see what's coming."

"We have to be subtle, Thomas." She groaned. "Why don't you just blow the house up while you're at it?"

"That's a nice suggestion." He chuckled.

She was really wishing that this plane could go faster. She wasn't sure of what she was going to do once they are back on the ground. Will she lead him towards Forks immediately? He definitely had his mind set; killing the Cullens was all he seemed to be enjoying of this trip. She couldn't call them since he would hear. Maybe she ought to try to change his mind. Make him want to get to know his brother instead of killing him.

"Why are you so anxious to end your brother's life? What has he ever done to you?" She asked him.

"I have my reasons." He replied losing his smile.

"Aren't you even interested in trying to even know him just a little bit?" She went on hoping to get more information out of him.

"Julie, I have a feeling that you don't particularly feel like killing them." He accused, refusing to answer her question.

"Maybe I am." She answered honestly. "I don't like the idea of killing them when they had done nothing wrong."

"But they will." He replied referring to Mariella's vision.

Julie refused to argue on this. If he couldn't see that Aro was lying to them about that vision, she wasn't going to lose time trying to persuade him. He stared at her wondering whether he could trust her. He wanted to believe that she would help with his mission, but he didn't trust her enough to let her know more. Maybe on the journey, if she opened up, he could tell her everything.

But he had noticed that Julie wasn't opening about herself much. He remembered Aro telling him about Julie. She was changed by Alec apparently. He had found her to have quite some potential as a vampire, but Aro's memory of it seemed to be really deemed and didn't give him much information. Thomas did notice that she was always avoiding Aro's touch whenever he was near her. Could her memories or thoughts be that bad?

Julie was happy that he was no longer trying to make conversation with her. She needed to concentrate on her plan. First, she would need to find a way to make this journey the longest though it wasn't going to be easy. Fast was the way all vampires were best at and he would never want to just pretend to be humans. He wanted his job done. But she knew that if Alice didn't have a vision about this upcoming massacre, all of them were going to be able to know when they were in that town; they would come to look for them or at least, be prepared in case something happened.

But would that be enough time for her to warn them? Would they believe her if she told them that she meant no harm to them? That she came because she wanted to stop Thomas from doing this? What would they think when they saw him? How will Edward react at the sight of his perfect replica? Would he even listen to what she had to say? Would it even matter to them? They were just too many questions in her mind at that moment and she needed the time to find answers to them.

In Forks, everything was as normal as things could be. Bella Swan was driving her old truck to school. The sky was cloudy and it made her smile. She never believed that she would ever be grateful for clouds one day. The sun had always been important to her in Phoenix. When she moved to Forks, she thought it was hell whenever it was not up. But since Edward had been part of her life, the sun was more like some sort of enemy; cutting in her time with Edward since he couldn't be seen in daylight.

Unlike most movie or books vampires, Edward or his family didn't burn under the sun, but sparkled like millions of diamonds were all over their bodies. It was magnificence, but not normal behaviour for sure.

She arrived at Forks high school where the other students were walking around the school's ground talking or walking towards their first class. She parked her truck next to the silver Volvo that belonged to Edward. Alice and he were both standing in front of it, waiting for her. Grabbing her bag, she got out and didn't even bother to say hi to Alice, she walked towards Edward as he welcomed her in his arms.

"Good morning." He smiled leaning down to kiss her lightly on the lips.

"Good morning." She succeeded to say.

"Hello to you too, Bella." Alice growled.

Bella laughed before turning towards Alice and giving her a hug. How weird it was to do such a thing when she had never been a people person before.

"Hello Alice!" She said to her.

"Shall we now?" Edward said taking her hand.

"Why do you guys even bother to come to class?" Bella asked Edward and Alice as they walked towards their first class of the day. "It's not like you need it or anything."

Though she didn't mind having them around, she just wondered why they bothered to be there. They had graduated so many times already. Edward had now his arm around her shoulders as Alice linked arms with her.

"You know why." Edward exclaimed. "Anyways, spending my time alone would mean less time spent with you."

Bella blushed at that. Every sweet word coming out of his lips always had that effect on her. She was still unable to find a rational reason to why Edward was with her. He was perfect in every way while she was average. She never felt like she was good enough for him, but nonetheless, still he was there with her.

"Give me a break." Alice sighed, but still she was smiling.

There was nothing more that made her happy than to see Edward and Bella together. They were half-way through the building 3 when Alice froze in place. Edward froze too and turned to his sister while Bella only stared at her. She knew that Alice was having a vision, but unlike Edward, she couldn't see what she was seeing.

"It's not possible." He whispered, though just loud enough for her to hear.

"What did you see?" Bella asked her as Alice came back from her trance.

"I'm not sure." Alice admitted. "This vision of two Edwards was something, but there was another girl. A vampire. She's with one of the Edwards."

Bella frowned. Two Edwards? How was that possible?

"How long until she arrives here?" He asked Alice.

"Oh!" Alice said instead of answering his question. "I remember her."

Edward seemed to focus on the image in Alice's mind, but he could remember seeing that girl before. Then he saw it in her thoughts. They were in Volterra and as they listened to Aro, the girl stood in the back.

"Did the Volturi sent her here?" He asked again.

"I don't know, but she'll probably be here tomorrow at the latest Saturday." She answered closing her eyes.

It was Thursday. Edward knew that bringing Bella out of Forks would cause problem with Charlie, her father, but what if the Volturi sent her to make sure Bella was now vampire? After all, that was the only reason they were allowed to leave. But why only send one? He looked back at Alice who still had her eyes closed.

She tried to concentrate on her vision, but nothing more was coming to her. She still couldn't understand the vision of the two Edwards. What did it mean? Surely, something was not right in this and she hated not knowing.
