Chapter 12

Ok it's coming to an end soon. :( I know how you feel. I'll start working on the next one as soon as finals are over. Only a few more chappies are left. Thanks to all my followers. Mwa.

The two vampires tugged at Alice, while the other two watched. I couldn't stand it anymore. I ran into the forest. I knew they would catch me anyway, but my options were better if I wasn't just sitting around.

"Let her go." The red haired vampire said. He held onto the female's arm who had obviosly risen out of her throne to come after me.

"We'll catch her easily, but later. I'm interested to see what she plans on doing."

I ran as fast as my clumsy feet would allow. Tears stung my eyes. I ran into something solid. My vision was blurred by the tears so I didn't even bother to look up. I fell on the ground and sobbed.

The solid thing must have been alive because I felt arms wrap around me and lift me up. Edward... At last. I threw my arms around his neck and held on for dear life.

"Edward! It's Alice... You need to help her!" I managed to say.

"Shh..shh.. Bella, it's ok. The others are nearly with her. It's going to be ok. I have to get you somewhere safe."

They were here... Alice was going to be alright. Wait. What? Somewhere safe?

"Edward we need to get to her!" I screamed at him.

He looked at me quizzically. If only he could read my mind. "Let's just go. I'll explain on the way." We ran through the trees. I was safely on Edward's back. I told him about the venom of the brown haired vampire. He sped up a little bit.

Jasper had heard what Bella said. Alice could be dying. If Jasper lost her, he would surely lose himself. They were one now. Neither could function without the other. If we lost one, we lost both. He was crying in his mind, but not physically. If he did, his emotions would affect everyone. He was staying strong for all of us.

Emmett's thought were full of anger. Alice was his little sister after all. I was angry too. And scared. I didn't know if I would have the chance to make ammends with Alice. I would live with the guilt for the rest of eternity. Most of all, I was angry that that red haired vampire had touched my Bella. He was mine. I was going to put an end to his miserable life...err...existance.

The pain was too much. I was physically giving up. The newborn and the blonde vampire were playing a game of tug-of-war with me. Both with smug grins on their faces. I could feel the venom spreading through out my body. It felt as if my insides were on fire. I was glad that Bella got away but if I died, they would go after her. I tried to fight back but it became harder and harder with every breath.

The concept that was the hardest to grab was that I might not be able to see Jasper again. Suddenly, my one arm was freed. I heard a crash of stone on stone. I turned my head weakly to see the newborn on the ground with a beautiful blonde vampire standing over him. The blonde vampire turned to look at me. Jazz... My body gave up.

I hit the forest floor. The end was near. It was almost as if I was falling asleep. My eyelids struggled to stay open. I felt a hand on my cheek, and a faint voice called my name. There was more noise around me. I didn't know what noise it was but I couldn't concentrate anyway. My eyes were firmly shut and I had no strength to open them.

Then all was quiet... Goodbye my love.. My Jasper... My heart...

We arrived at the mountains where we picked up Alice's scent. I saw her being held by two vampires. One was a newborn. At this moment I was glad I could fight them. I rammed the newborn that held Alice's arm as hard as I could. I released all my anger into that blow. He lay on the ground and stared at me with wide eyes.

"Maj..major Whitlock." He stammered. I was about to rip his head off when Emmett came. He pointed in the other direction. "Alice." He said. I ran over to her while Emmett took care of the newborn.

The blonde vampire still had her other arm. I sprung at him and pushed him away. I touched Alice's cheek. Her face was tensed up in pain.

"Alice? Alice honey? Say something." I waited but she said nothing. I grabbed her shirt and shook her gently. Nothing... My body shook with dry sobs. I held onto her with all I had left. The blonde vampire came behind me and I unleashed my rage.

He was dismembered in seconds and was in a fire that Emmett had started. Edward grabbed my shoulders. He already knew about Alice, because he had obviously read my mind. Sobs over took my body. Emmett was standing further away with the female in his grasp.

I walked over to her and slapped her as hard as I could through the face. Edward grabbed my wrist before I could do it again. "I'll kill her!!" I screamed at no one in particular. Esme, Rose and Carlisle had arrived. Rose was holding Alice's lifeless body to her chest and sobbing. Esme had her face burried in Carlisle's shirt.

I turned my attention back to the woman. "Who sent you?!" I yelled at her. She hung her head and laughed hysterically. I slapped her again.

"You have no idea what you are getting yourself into Major Whitlock." She said. "How do you know my name?" I asked her. She smiled a very wicked smile in response.

I shook her by the shoulders. "Tell me!" I screamed at her.

"Maria said you were desireable but she never said you had a temper." My whole world froze at that moment. Maria. Had Alice known? Maria killed Alice...

"She wanted you, so she sent us to kill your precious wife. She will not be pleased that all of us died in the process, but at least the task is done." She was completely deranged. All of them were. Was Maria so power hungry that she would resort to this? Clearly...

"Maria will never have me, so you have failed. If Alice cannot have me, no-one will. You will be dead in a few moments, so Maria will not find me." I said to her. My voice was strained at all the information that my brain had to absorb.

"Kill me if you wish, but Maria will be arriving in due time. With her army. You will all join your precious Alice tonight." She cackled her evil laugh. Before another sound was uttered, the woman's head rolled. Edward had ripped it clean off of her body.

We. Were. Officially. Screwed.

Ok. I decided I would make it longer than planned, because I have some good Ideas. Should I continue or stop? Let me know.
