I'm so sorry for the long wait! I have really had trouble accessing the internet. I will continue to write lots more though!
Enjoy!
For the first time in my life, I forgot how to move. I lay there straight and motionless as I flicked through the future and how to avoid what was coming. As far as I could tell, there wasn't much of a chance that I would get out of here.
"Alice? Alice! What's happening?" said Jasper, and he calmed me, but I could here the fear behind his voice, and the worry inside of me.
"Oh Jasper! They're coming! The humans. In 6 minutes," I said much to fast and lo for human ears to hear, "They changed their minds and decided to come here earlier," I said and then I stood up. The movement was so quick that it felt wrong.
"It's OK, Alice, nothing will happen to you. We will get around them," he said.
"They have split up though. It is most likely that I will hear their heart beats and become attracted to the sound," I said.
"It's not that bad Alice. Where are they coming from?" he asked.
"5 different groups, 13 humans in total. They have all started at the same point though, coming all ways. The only way we can go is…,"
"…Back," Jasper said, finishing my sentence.
"Yes, but the leads to a town," I said.
"But it's not that close to the town," Jasper said, his beautiful voice more prominent with my new senses.
"But…. So we are going back?" I asked.
"It's the only way, and then we can circle back around again," he said, calmly.
I looked into the future, seeing if anything wrong came with this plan. I kept looking, and it seemed as if we would be fine. I sighed in relief,
Jasper obviously felt my change in emotions and took action. "Let's go," he said, and then held my arm and led me even further into the beautiful meadow. It was still very sunny, so we were still sparkling like diamonds. But we had no time to concentrate on that now, we had to get moving.
Jasper's hand felt unnaturally warm. I was so used to the ice cold feel of his hard, white skin. Know as I looked down at our hands, I saw that we were now equals. Now my skin was as hard as his, and also just as pale. It gave me a sense of belonging.
"Let's," I said, and then we ran. It wasn't a long run, but it was very nice. Even though I could still feel the slightly calmed burning thirst in the back of my throat, I concentrated on the feeling of the wind on my skin and the hand that I was still holding. The hand that belonged to the love of my life. We could never be separated.
We had headed about 10 miles west, and the Jasper stopped. Of course I knew when he was going to stop, so we stopped in unison.
"We should start heading back now," he said, "Do you see any humans coming?" he asked, remaining cautious.
"No, not yet. But still, they could change their minds. We should hurry though, just in case," I said. It felt really good to know what was going to happen in the future, and it sometimes gave me a sense of comfort. If not for this gift, I would probably be hunting humans know. I smiled.
Jasper had felt the change in my mood.
"Why so happy?" he asked.
"Just thinking, about my little gift," I said.
"Little? This is very big Alice," he said, in a nice and comforting tone.
"I guess you could say that," I said, and then giggled.
Jasper shook his head.
"I don't understand," he started, "I know you just hunted, but aren't you really thirsty?" he asked.
"Well, I am thirsty. But you said that that part never goes away,"
"Only with animal blood. The human blood fills us up more and is much more satisfying." He said, serious now.
"Oh, I see," I said.
"Let's head off. Tell me if you see something," he said, and so we ran off again.
So far I hadn't seen anything. No humans coming, nothing too bad. So I focused on my family, trying to look into their futures.
Rosalie and Emmett were in their room, just sitting and talking. Rose was about to turn the music off. Edward and Bella were at the piano. Edward was teaching Bella a few songs. She was playing really well. Better than I ever could. Renee put me in lessons, but I just got bored with it.
But that thought stopped me.
Renee.
My mother whom I would never be able to see again for her safety. I didn't even get to say goodbye. I felt awful. I hadn't really thought much about her before I made this rash decision to trade my mortality for something better.
Or was it better?
"Alice? You seem… troubled about something. What's wrong?" he asked.
"Renee," was all I could say. It was really weird though. We could concentrate on running and not running into things while having a serious conversation. Jasper sounded like we were just sitting down on his bed talking. Not running and dodging trees.
"Oh," he said, "I'm sorry," he said.
"No, it's alright, Jazz Maybe, in a few years I could see her again," I said, but then I thought of the phone call that Charlie had made when I had disappeared from him. He had already told Renee that I had… died.
It was a sad thing to leave him with.
"I don't think so, Alice. She will know that something is up," he said, and I couldn't disagree with that.
"I guess so," I said, and that ended our short conversation.
Well, it was good that I hadn't killed anyone yet. No one was going to change paths – yet – and we were almost back. I sighed in relief.
So I decided to look back on the futures of my loved ones.
Carlisle and Esme were sitting in the lounge room, flicking through channels. Nothing was on. Rosalie and Emmett were going to the garage to look at their cars, and Edward was still teaching Bella the piano.
We would be their in about 2 minutes, and I was very happy that I hadn't killed anyone.
Suddenly, I could see Edward listening to thoughts. He looked… worried. He and Bella then went outside to check out the source of the thoughts.
Then suddenly, they vanished.
I panicked when Rosalie and Emmett left too.
"Jasper!" I almost yelled, louder than necessary.
"Alice? What's wrong? What do you see? Any humans?"
"No! Its worse," if I were a human I would have choked when I saw Carlisle and Esme vanish too, "I can't see them, Jasper!"
"Who?" he asked, confused.
"Our family! Hurry!" I said. Though Jasper's calming presence was still on me, I could still panic.
"Gone?" he said in disbelief, and then sped up slightly faster. I followed.
As we reached the house, I felt comforted that my family was standing outside, looking unharmed, but scared.
The thing that worried me the most was that I still could see them.
In front of them were 6 enormous wolves. I then saw Jasper's future disappear too, along with mine.
Why did they look so frightened? They were just wolves. Couldn't they kill them?
Edward answered my question and looked behind at me.
"Werewolves," he said, in a slow voice. But where was the full moon? Edward didn't answer that one.
"The treaty," I could hear Carlisle say, "We forgot about the treaty," he said, slowly and calmly.
I could here Emmett whisper to Rosalie, "Yeah, we could take 'em." Rosalie just shook her head.
And Bella and Esme just stood there, as still as statues.
As I listened closer, I could hear that Edward was talking to them. So they must be werewolves. They had thoughts which could only make them human.
"We are so sorry," I could here him say, "It was her choice, and she only did it because she loved one of us," and he gestured to me and Jasper, "Please don't harm us," and then he listened to some more of their thoughts. Then after a while, Edward responded, "Yeah? Well you're the ones that broke the treaty first! You told her about us in the first place."
OK, I was pretty lost here.
The only person that told me about all this was Jacob.
He told me stories.
He told me about his decedents.
Werewolves?
Jacob… Black… a werewolf?
I shook my head in disbelief. I didn't know why, but I my mouth suddenly opened on its own accord to say something.
"Jacob?" I asked, in a soft, calm voice. Only calm because of Jasper.
I saw one of the wolf's turn and look at me. It shook its head as if in disappointment.
"Please," I heard Edward plead, "It is only fare now. We are equals. You broke it and we broke it," then silence for a few moments. "Well if that's the only resolution, we will have to fight."
I could hear a few of my family gasp in the group, but I wasn't one of them. I was just still, not even breathing. The wolves didn't smell appetizing at all. They smelt yucky.
Again, my mouth opened up again to speak, "Please no!" it shouted, in pleading, "It's my fault! Kill me if you must," I said, and put my hands up as if in surrender.
Jasper beside me grabbed me shoulders and whispered in my ear, "No, Alice. You could never do anything like that to me,"
If I were still human, I would have been balling my eyes out.
"If you want one Cullen, you have to get though the rest of us," Said Edward, and the words he had said made me happy. Alice Cullen.
I hope you liked it!
