Disclaimer- i own nothing of twilight or new moon

My flesh began to crawl as I thought of the news that was about to fill my ears . What if it had to do with Bella? What if it was another brutal vision that Alice had seen? How could she have hidden it from me? Had I not been focusing close enough? What if she had seen Bella dying and I hadn't been able to help? What if Alice had seen Bella retracting an incurable infection? or bleeding to death? Humans were so fragile. She could be taken from me so easily.

My stomach was doing somersaults in distress…I began to feel nauseous…I couldn't even begin to remember the last time I had felt this way.

If Bella were like me, I wouldn't have to worry about her medical conditions. She'd be close to indestructible. Ah! No…I couldn't…I can't. My heart ached out of regret? love? denial? I couldn't identify the emotion.

Should I have let James' venom run its course through her veins? Would she be suffering as much had I allowed the Devil to extinguish the flame that heated her blood?

My thoughts began to knot themselves around each other. My emotions were too daunting to allow my conscious to untie them….

The moment after Carlisle's words were first flung into the room seemed to stretch on forever, however the moment could not last long enough. The dread that surged through my body was nearly incapacitating. I couldn't bear to hear what Carlisle would speak next, but I was unable to pull myself from Bella's side. An unearthly gravity held me to my chair.

I squeezed my eyes tight and braced myself for his next words….

"Victoria is here, or will be soon." Alice's vision was not quite as telling as we might have hoped, but she may be here in as soon as a couple of hours. He could only say so much in the proximity of human ears. He was remaining as calm as possible for the sake of my sanity, and the fact that we were in a public place, a demonstration of my true vexation would have attracted too much attention. He paused as his mouth pinched together, forming his next sentence. "She slipped away from Esme and Rose before coming to Phoenix…. I'm not quite sure how she knew to come here, James must have told her where he was heading, and since he hadn't returned after some time I think she got nervous and came to find him for herself."

"Fucking bitch." I spat out. Of the several profanities that clogged my throat this was the only one that escaped my lips.

A stab of fury flew through my spine. My mind began to race and the flurry of murderous images and emotions nearly knocked me out of the chair. I gripped the edge of the bed, molding the metal bar beneath the mattress to the shape of my clenched knuckles. She could be outside this very moment. My eyes darted towards the window and a deep growl crawled up from the bottom of my throat.

Edward, please you have to calm down. We have to think of a plan to get Bella away from Phoenix as soon as possible.

Alice's typically calm thoughts were plastered with anxiety. I turned my head slowly and questioned her severe uneasiness with my facial expression. Her eyes were saturated with worry…not only for Bella…there was something else.

I haven't told Emmett or Carlisle about the other part of my vision.

I watched as the second half of Alice's vision drifted across her cerebrum.

That's why I left this morning; I avoided thinking of it so that you wouldn't panic…. I had to go talk with Jazz and figure out the best way to handle this….

Alice lowered her gaze to the repetive patterns along the tile floor. This vision couldn't be avoided. This had already occurred…

I was so divinely attached to my family….I would not accept any act of violence against them…not even if it was against my (at times) least favorite family member.

The enmity that flew towards me nearly crushed my ribcage; the sudden collapse threw a cough of air out through my lips. It was a stretched amount of seconds before I was able to breathe once again.

Emmett and Carlisle were deeply disturbed by my display of horror, they stared at me inquisitively, perplexed, and worried.

Edward?

It was Emmett's thought that broke through the surface of my mind.

Edward what's wrong? What happened?

Carlisle's gaze flew between Alice and I trying to decipher what had just occured.
