Twilight Through Alice's Eyes Chapter 20
Twilight Through Alice's Eyes Chapter 20
A/N: Hi. Sorry for not updating. I was busy with finals and final projects. It's almost completely over (final I mean) and I'm really happy. But then again it means there is summer reading, something I don't want to do. I was going to update yesterday but I had a date with the guy that was stalking me. Lots of awkward silences I'll tell you that. Anyway on with the story, no reason to keep you waiting anymore.
Disclaimer: Do I really have to put this in here? You guys know that I don't own Twilight.
Chapter 20
APOV
I couldn't believe that those men were going to do something so horrible as that to innocent Bella. I really hoped Edward would make it in time. What made it harder was the fact that he couldn't read her mind. It would be really hard for him to track someone that he can't tell what they're thinking.
I scanned the future the whole night looking for something that would tell me that Edward found her in time. I kept getting different visions. Some were of Bella sticking with Jessica and Angela and not walking off on her own. Some were of her being mutilated by those pigs. I could never tell whether Edward made it or not. What bothered me more was that Edward was too far away so I couldn't tell him if something changed.
I decided to go for a run in the forest to take out some of the stress. I approached Port Angeles. I figured I'd still be close enough to Edward to let him know what was happening or changing. That's when I had a vision. It told me that he made it in time however there was more to it than just that.
Edward drove into the middle of the street and Bella jumped out in front of the Volvo. He opened the door and told her to get in. Then he got out and rammed head first into the first guy's gut. The man went flying and finally hit a wall and stopped. There was blood and guts everywhere.
Edward turned around and looked at the other men. His eyes were coal black. The men looked at him with a mixture of fear and anger; anger that he had killed their friend and fear that Edward was completely unharmed by attacking the man. Each of them pulled out a knife.
Edward smiled his crooked evil smile while he said, "Like that's really going to help you."
One of the guys smiled, all fear seemed to have completely vanished, and said "Of course it will. Stabbing is an easy way to get rid of you so we can go after the girl." The man started to chuckle and looked over at the car where Bella was in and had closed the door. The look on her face was worse than before. Before she was just shaken and a little scared; now she was completely terrified at what Edward was doing. It looked as if she were ready to pass out and have a heart attack at any second.
Edward paid no attention to this fact at all and charged in to the small group of men. He easily killed all of them. "I told you it wouldn't help any." He was mocking the men that he had just killed. He didn't even seem to have a stain on his clothes. There was suddenly a police cruiser right behind where his car was parked.
"Police officers! Stay right where you are and put your hands in the air!" Edward just turned around with a very angry look on his face to see two police officers pointing guns right at him. "Sir, could you tell me what happen here?" One of the officers approached him and the bodies of the men he'd killed.
"These men were threatening Bella so I protected her." He was satisfied with that answer as he looked at the officer coming towards him.
"Who's 'Bella'?" The officer asked.
"Bella is the girl that is in my car. I saved her from these men." Edward said this matter-of-factly. The other officer walked over to the car and looked in the window.
"Bob, I may need your help over here." The officer by the car looked almost frightened as he looked in the window. Edward had a puzzled expression on his face and seemed to be wondering what the man was talking about. Then he had an expression of pure shock. The officer that was approaching Edward walked toward the car while still facing Edward.
"Oh no, Bella." Edward said as he ran at human speed-actually a little fast for human speed-over to the car. The officer still had his gun pointed towards Edward. The officers and Edward stood by the car window as they looked in. Hunched over on the floor of the passengers seat was Bella. She wasn't moving at all and didn't seem to be breathing either.
The officer pulled on the door and it wouldn't open. "It's locked." He said stating the obvious. "Sir, do you have the keys to unlock the car." Edward felt in his pocket for his keys only to realize that they were still in the ignition.
"I don't have them. They're inside the car. Bella must have locked it when she got in to make sure the guys weren't going to hurt her." The officers both started banging on the passenger side window to get Bella's attention. Bella still wasn't moving or even breathing by the looks of it.
"MOVE!" Edward screamed at the officers. They both took a few steps back and saw he was going to break the window to unlock the door.
"Sir, you do realize that those windows don't break that easily and you will probably end up hurting you self and maybe even the young woman inside?" The officers looked at him just waiting for an answer.
"No, I won't hurt myself. There is no way on Earth I could hurt myself." Edward said it a little bit too calmly and the officer's faces just looked confused. Edward drew back his arm and easily punched through the glass, most landing on the seat, some landing on Bella. He pulled the door open and pulled Bella out. He cradled her in his arms as he felt for a pulse on her. He couldn't find one.
"Shit." He muttered the word under his breath. He set her down on the ground and started to do the motions of CPR. Snap, one of Bella's ribs broke because Edward was using too much force.
"Shit." He muttered again, a little louder though. He tried once more to do CPR. Snap, another one of Bella's ribs broke.
"Sir, stop. She's gone. She was probably in so much shock that her body couldn't handle it." Edward looked about ready to snap. He just sat by Bella's dead body and dry sobbed.
If it were at all possible, I knew I had to stop it. I kept running closer and closer to Port Angeles hoping that I wasn't too late and that Edward would listen to my thoughts. All I kept repeating in my mind was 'Edward, whatever you do don't kill those men.' I kept getting closer and closer to Port Angeles. I slowed down to a human run as I entered the city.
"Alice!" I heard the scream coming from behind me. I turned around to see Jasper tailing not too far behind me. "Alice, I felt how worried you were when we were back at the house so I followed you. Then the worry turned to panic. Tell me Alice, What's going on?" That's what I always loved about Jasper; he was always there when I needed him.
"There are some pigs that are going to hurt Bella. Edward came here to find Bella and save her but I had a vision. He unintentionally killed her."
"Do you mean like bit her and killed her?"
"No, he scared her to death because she watched him kill the men that tried to hurt her. I'm trying to find Edward so that I can warn him and so that he doesn't kill those men. The problem is I don't know where to look for him." I really had no idea where to look for him. There was little chance I could get to him before he did anything stupid. I had to take that little chance. If Bella dies, he'll be broken.
Jasper and I kept running down the street. I soon thought that we were going in circles. "Jasper, we're not getting anywhere. We've passed Hill Street three times already."
"Alice, we're on Hill Street. You're just looking at the signs for the street that we're on. You need to calm down." I felt waves of calm go through me as we ran down the street even further.
"Thanks Jasper. Wait I see Edward's car. It's right up there. Just a little further." It looked as if he was getting ready to pull away, too. "Edward stop!" I knew he could hear me now if only he would listen to me. He stopped putting the car in gear and looked at the rear view mirror to Jasper and me. We stopped right in front of the car so that he couldn't go anywhere.
"Alice, what are you doing? I have to go save Bella."
"Edward, I had a vision that you need to see before you go towards Bella. I stood there and replayed the vision in my head so that Edward could see it. Once it was done he looked in shock.
"I don't want Bella to die, that's not the point of this. How am I going to do this so I don't kill her?"
"Edward, I have an idea." Jasper spoke for the first time the three of us were together. "Alice and I hide in the trunk of your car. We stay there that way if there are any problems we can step in. If you get out of the car and go towards the men one of us can either drive off with Bella or pull you back into the car so you don't do anything stupid."
"That could work but how are you going to prevent me from getting out of the car to begin with?"
"Simple Edward, I send waves of calm through the car so that Bella doesn't go into shock and so that you stay calm enough that you don't kill those men." Edward pinched the bridge of his nose, deep in thought.
"That'll work." Edward said as he hurriedly popped the trunk so that Jasper and I could get in. It was a good thing the part of Hill Street we were on was pretty much deserted; otherwise someone might wonder what we were doing getting into the trunk of Edward's car. As soon as we were both in comfortably we closed the trunk. "Are you guy's ok back there?"
"Yep Edward, we're both fine." As soon as I finished saying that, Edward floored it and we went flying down the street. Jasper started sending waves of calm through the car already to get Edward to calm down. I could almost hear Edward's breathing getting less tense and angry; it was still a long way from calm though.
"Alright I see Bella now. I'm going to stop soon." As he said this he got more and more angry. I looked over at Jasper and could tell he was having a very hard time controlling Edward's anger. Edward slammed on the brakes and Jasper and I hit the back of the trunk. If we were human, that definitely would have left bruises.
"Get in!" I heard Edward tell Bella. God, I really hope this works. I don't want Bella to die of a heart attack. I heard Bella's car door slam and I heard Edward press the lock button.
"Drive, Edward, drive before you do anything stupid." I whispered this in a tone I knew that Bella couldn't hear.
"Put your seat belt on." He still wanted Bella to be safe as we drove away. I heard her seat belt click and Edward once again floored it. Jasper was still sending waves of calm through the car; he was having a hard time because what he was receiving was a mixture of Bella's fear of those men and relief that she was safe and Edwards's anger of those men and happiness that he had rescued Bella from them.
Pretty soon afterwards he stopped the car. Jasper also stopped sending waves of calm through the car; he couldn't take the pressure anymore.
"Are you going to be ok Edward? Can Jasper and I leave now?" Jasper desperately wanted to get out of the car I could tell so I asked Edward to let us out.
"Just a little bit longer guys. Just wait to make sure I can handle it." We sat there waiting, Jasper in pain. "Alright guys you can leave." We always made sure to talk in a voice Bella couldn't hear just to be safe.
Edward popped the trunk, but did it quick enough that Bella didn't notice. Jasper and I slipped out but made sure we didn't attract any attention to ourselves. "Bye Edward. Good luck." Jasper and I both whispered as we ran back towards our home so we could relax, although I'm not very sure I would be relaxing.
A/N: Cool, it's done. Longest chapter so far. I hope you enjoy it. I hope to update tomorrow because I actually have some free time. Please review, even if it's just to ask me how my date went.
