This is so fun for me. Thanks for your support. I love writing this story. I can't believe I have gotten this far. It wasn't until I just barely typed in "Chapter 14:" that I realized that I have fourteen chapters, I love it. Thanks again.
Chapter 14:
"You saw something? Alice, what did you see?" I asked nervously.
"Bella, it's hard to explain."
"I think I can handle it."
"Bella, all of our futures, have gone black." I took a little longer for that to sink in. 'went black' where have I heard that? Oh no.
"Alice, Alice you don't mean wolves?"
"Yes." Edward went still beside me. I stroked his arm. He seemed to relax a little.
"What should we do?"
"We? We aren't doing anything," said Edward tightly.
"What do you mean we have to do something?"
"They might be just visiting. They don't have to want to hurt us."
"No, Edward." I said.
"Edward! You killed Jacob, bit Bella and broke the treaty. They don't have anything for us. They want to kill us, more than we already are. They are 'protectors' they don't have a reason not to kill us."
"We aren't going to fight them."
"No, Edward. We don't have a choice. They want to fight and we have to fight back!" I shouted at him. He stared at me and I stared back in his blank eyes. He sighed.
"Bella, it's almost like you want this."
"Of course not. They were friends, once. This will be hard but we have numbers, and more skill."
"I don't want you to get hurt."
"Don't be such a pessimist." I said. That had been said to be a number of times before and he knew it. "I won't get hurt. You'll get hurt trying to make sure I don't get hurt."
"I think she's right," said Alice. "Jasper did everything he could to make sure I didn't have anything to do. The battle will go fine, and everyone will be safe."
"I don't know," he hesitated.
"You have to," I said, "They are coming and we know that. All we can do is fight." He pulled me into a tight hug.
"Bella," he breathed into my hair, "I, just got you, and, I don't want to lose you."
"I'll always be with you," I promised into his chest.
"Come on, they'll be coming in a little less than a minute." We followed Alice downstairs and the horrible smell got stronger, and burned in my nose.
Alice went still and I knew she was having a vision. When it ended, Alice didn't unfreeze.
"Carlisle!" she shouted. "I don't – It's- I had a vision, and I, I saw, I saw them."
"Alice you don't mean," said Esme shocked.
"It's true, but that's not the strangest part," she said looking paler than ever. "Emmett, Jasper? Where did you bury the body of Jacob Black?"
I'm sorry. That was mean. I didn't mean to give a cliff hanger, but the opportunity was there just calling my name…
