Chapter 6: This Plan
BPOV
Midnight…hm.
"Wait, why at exactly midnight?" Rosalie was just teeming with questions about our rendezvous from this reality.
"Do you remember the Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows midnight release from last year?" Alice questioned Rosalie.
"Yeah. How could I not? Everyone was all dressed up and they got there hours beforehand. What does that have to do with this?" I was starting to understand what Alice was getting at. But only a little bit.
"That's what the Breaking Dawn release is going to look like."
"So that means…"
I suddenly understood, so I took over for Alice. "It's going to be so confusing because of the release that we can get out of here. It comes out at 12:01 am. Midnight is when everything will be filled with the most pandemonium."
"We can slip through the cracks and slip out," Jasper finished.
I was really catching onto things lately. But wait…
"If we leave, what about the Denali Coven? Will they come too?" It wasn't just them I wondered about. There was Maia and Domenic. And the Volturi. And all the other vampires.
Silence. Again. It lasted for an immeasurable amount of time. Which, for a vampire, can be a very long time.
It was Esme's turn to say something. Well, ask something. "Carlisle, do you have any ideas?" She stared at him with her loving eyes and then something must have clicked for Carlisle.
"I think we can escape from here and still have everything be intact. But there's also a chance we could end up some place completely different," said Carlisle.
"I don't understand," I admitted. I had been following so well until that point. Then again, I hadn't given much thought as to where we'd escape to. I just knew it was possible to escape.
"When we leave it'll almost be like we disappeared out of thin air. But I'm not quite sure where we'll go. We could end up in a different universe altogether, or end up in nearly the same location only without the books. I haven't figured that out yet."
"Well, we at least need a good strategy for getting out," Jasper stated. All of his military expertise was going to come in handy again. At least this time it wasn't because of any newborn vampire armies. I cringed slightly at the thought. "We'll have to go to a release party, but we have to do our best to not be noticed. At exactly midnight we need to all be in physical contact with each other, whether it be holding hands or touching someone's neck, it doesn't matter. Carlisle will get us to wherever he ends up taking us. Bella, do you remember that book we read for philosophy class? Sophie's World?"
That was when everything made a loud clicking sound in my head. "Yes. I do remember."
Jasper continued, "Sophie and Alberto escape from the prison that is the book they're in by being near all of the chaos of the garden party. They managed to disappear without anyone noticing. That's what we have to do."
I thought about what I had just heard. If we ended up in an alternate universe, would anyone talk to us? Would it be terribly different or almost the same?
Then I realized that it didn't matter where we ended up. All that really mattered was that I would be with Edward and our family. Nothing in the world, or any universe for that matter, meant anything except the vampires in this room. And I would do anything to protect them.
Vampire feelings really are hard to express.
Did you like it? Hate it? Let me know via REVIEW!! Okay, I have some 'splaining to do. I have slightly re-written some of this so that it makes more sense. But keep in the mind that this story involves a lot of complex things like literal alternate universes. The point of escaping while there's a lot going on is because the author isn't paying attention. It becomes a 'Freudian slip" which means it's what you meant to say/write but you didn't acutally want to say it. Secretly, Stephenie Meyer wanted the Cullens to meet the world. I hope that clears things up a bit.
