Chapter Three
An expensive imported car raced through the freeway with five passengers. Emmett Cullen drove his car with giddy and child-like abandon while his wife, Rosalie Cullen sat in the passenger seat flipping through an automobile catalog. In the back seat sat the other Cullen siblings. Jasper immediately behind Rosalie and Edward behind Emmett. Alice had managed to squish herself in the middle of them both.
At this moment in time Alice was dry sobbing. If she were capable of crying like any normal human being was able she would have already soaked the front of her shirt.
Jasper wrapped a comforting arm around his wife. "Shh.."
Alice shook her head. "No! I w-want to stay! I h-have to stay!"
Pursing her lips, Rosalie grumbled under her breath and Emmett sighed. Edward ignored them all and turned his pained face toward the window. Jasper continued to comfort his love.
"I really wanted to stay too, little sister," Emmett said quietly from the front seat as he swerved in and out of traffic.
Rosalie rolled her eyes. "Oh, please. Are both of you honestly hung up about some silly human pest? Good riddance is all I have to say."
"You shut the fuck up," Alice suddenly screeched. She pointed a well manicured finger at the startled blonde in the passenger seat. "You're jealous! Fucking admit it already! You were jealous the whole time of Bella just because she had working ovaries and you don't!"
The whole car was suddenly in quiet shock. Never had they heard Alice scream in such a way and use such harsh words. And especially not at Rosalie, of all people.
"How dare you!" Rosalie screamed, her catalog magazine forgotten as she turned in her seat and desperately tried to get her hands around her sister's throat. "You bitch!"
Jasper hissed at the blonde in the front seat as he fought to simultaneously keep Rosalie away from his wife and Alice away from Rosalie. The emotions of rage were almost too much for him and he felt as if he could snap Rosalie's head off with a single hand.
"No Rosie!" Emmett yelled as he grabbed her by the collar and tried to yank her away.
With the other hand Emmett pulled the car off of the free way and onto a deserted street. As soon as they parked they were out of the car. Emmett restrained Rosalie while Jasper held onto Alice. Another car pulled up beside their's and Carlisle and Esme were out of it in a flash.
"What on Earth is going on here?!" Carlisle thundered, looking angry and disappointed for the first time in years. "What has gotten into all of you?!"
Alice was the one to answer. She screeched at the top of her lungs and pointed her manicured finger again. And it was pointed straight at Edward, who turned away from them. He walked toward Carlisle and Esme's car and set his hands onto the hood to lean on.
"IT'S HIS FAULT!!"
Closing his eyes, Edward listened on and on as Alice sobbingly rambled about leaving Forks to Carlisle and anyone else who would listen. He could hear the thoughts of Rosalie as Emmett ushered her back into their car.
"How dare she!!"
It surprised him that Rosalie's emotions had turned from anger to sorrow. And then he grew sad as her emotions veered quickly back to their familiar anger.
"Alice is probably right," Rosalie thought to herself. "If Edward hadn't made the decision for this family to leave Forks and … Her… None of this wouldn't be happening. This family -- that had been united together for many decades -- wouldn't be falling apart in just mere days! …. IT'S ALL YOUR FAULT, YOU PRICK!"
Edward raised his head with wide eyes and met Rosalie's angered and emotional ones. Her top lip raised in a silent snarl and then he looked away. He barely registered the presence behind him. A dainty hand squeezed his shoulder reassuringly.
"Edward, sweetheart," Esme asked him softly. "Are you alright?"
Taking his eyes away from his sister's, he turned them to his mother. Before Esme's eyes, Edward's face contorted and broke. She took him into her arms and he laid his head onto her shoulder as he moaned in sorrow silently. Edward wrapped his arms tightly around his mother as she ushered him to the back seat of a car. It was Carlisle's.
"Your father and I will always support what you believe is right for this family, Edward," said Esme softly in his ear. "Now, I want you to calm down in the car while your father and I settle everyone down."
He watched as Esme reached over to turn on the radio and then she got out of the car and closed the door behind her. Edward closed his eyes and began to block all of their thoughts out. It wasn't an easy thing for him to do, so he focused just on the sounds and voices coming from the radio.
"We have an emergency bulletin report here at 103.5 KZNP," a man's voice interrupted the music.
Edward lifted his head and reached over to turn the volume all the way up. From the corner of his eye he could see Carlisle and Esme stiffen and tense. He could tell that they too was listening now. Edward opened the car door and watched as his brothers and sisters also stiffen and listen warily.
The man's voice came back on. His voice wobbled with fear and urgency.
"We have just gotten some news from the local television station," the radio personality said. "It seems that we -- and I mean the United States Government and Army -- have lost contact with Hawaii and Alaska just a few hours ago --"
"The Denali Clan…?" Edward heard Carlisle whisper to Esme in question.
The man's voice began to wobble again. "And just a few minutes ago it was confirmed that we have also lost contact with Canada, Japan, Australia and Russia. This seems to be some kind of … I have no other word to call it but invasion… There is footage all over the internet by eyewitnesses of these little black monsters coming out of these black holes that appear out of nowhere…"
Edward turned his puzzled gaze to Carlisle who wore his own puzzled expression. A strange feeling at the pit of his stomach was growing, but he listened on.
"Where ever you are, you need to get home," the man's voice took on a new kind of urgency and panic. "You need to barricade yourself where they can't get you. These monsters -- they're killing people! --"
Everyone's emotions quickly turned from puzzled to horrified.
"It doesn't matter where you are," the man said quietly as the radio began to attract static. "They find you. These little monsters. It's as if they can hear your heart… Hear your soul as if it's whispering to them… And then they find you and devour it…."
The radio suddenly went completely to static.
In a flash, Edward was in the front seat with his hand on the radio dial. He searched for a station, any station. But all he got was static. He turned the radio off as he suddenly realized what the feeling at the pit of his stomach was.
Fear.
For Bella.
"Edward wait!" Alice suddenly screamed.
Edward knew that his sister would know exactly what he would do because of her gifts.
In a flash she was in the passenger seat beside him. Edward started the car and then took off as the rest of the family watched. They all hurried quicker than a blink of the eye toward Emmett's car, except for Jasper who suddenly appeared in the back seat directly behind Alice's seat. He had somehow been able to catch up to them as Edward reached the forty mile an hour notch on the speedometer.
"Where are we going?" Jasper asked Edward and his wife incredulously as the speedometer reached ninety.
"Forks," Edward and Alice answered together.
Alice suddenly stiffened and her eyes glazed over. Jasper reached over and a set a hand on his wife's shoulder as she came back from her vision.
"What did you see?" both Edward and Jasper asked her simultaneously.
"I saw Bella!" she said in panic. "You need to go faster! Faster Edward! Drive faster!"
Edward grimaced as he pushed his foot as far down as the pedal would allow him. Damn, he shoulder have taken Emmett's car. Then again, Rosalie, who was sitting in the car at the time, probably would have kicked his ass for coming anywhere near her.
Sure, he loved his blonde haired sister. But there was no lying about her. Rosalie is a bitch.
All in all, Edward was very sure that the drive back to Forks (at past one hundred miles an hour) was the longest five minutes of his un-life.
Emmett, who had actually been able to keep up with Edward's reckless driving, screeched his car to a halt beside Edward's as they stopped in front of the Swan residence.
But they arrived much too late.
The whole Cullen family looked on in horror. The sight before them was this:
Bella and Charlie shoulder deep in a black vortex.
"Bella!" Alice screamed in pain.
Edward fell to his knees and sobbed outright with his sister, Alice.
"BELLA!" he screamed in agony, horror and in love.
He suddenly scrambled to his feet in the blink of the eye and threw himself toward the swirling black vortex. Edward just knew that if he could get a hand on any piece of Bella or Charlie he would be able to drag them to safely.
"Edward!" he heard the screams from his family as he landed knee deep in the black goo-like substance.
"NO!" he heard his father, Jasper and Rosalie roar as he reached for Bella and Charlie, both of whom he could only see the tops of their head.
Edward turned his head and saw with wide eyes that Alice, his mother and Emmett had joined him in the black vortex. Carlisle, Jasper and Rosalie were the next ones to jump in.
"Go back!" Edward yelled.
"Oh my God!" Esme screamed as the vortex suddenly sucked them in chest deep. "Edward!"
Esme reached for him and Edward reached for his mother, just as the vortex sucked them neck deep.
"I love you," Esme screamed. "I love all of you so much…!"
Their vision was blurring, which was a very peculiar feeling for them since it had been a long while since any of them had fallen into a peaceful slumber. But that was exactly how it felt. It felt as if all of them were falling to sleep.
While they all fought off the feeling, Edward welcomed it. He ignored the screams of his name from his mother, father and siblings and went limp in the vortex as it began to completely swallow him whole.
What did he have left to lose anyhow? Bella was gone. She had been submerged into the vortex far too long and it had probably killed her and soon enough he would be joining her. With a smile on his lips he sighed the only name that he could ever want to have on his tongue.
"Bella…"
A/N: You know, this is actually the first time that I am attempting to write a cross over. This is also my first time writing a fan fiction of Twilight and Kingdom Hearts. I hope I'm doing alright? Review and feedback would be great.
