Again, thank you so much to everyone that has reviewed and added this story to their favorites! I'm in such awe! I'm not too sure about this chapter and I apologize in the delay of posting. "Twilight" and the Tiger Army song titles do not belong to me.

Several thoughts ran through my head while I was at school. I tried to ponder all the possibilities of getting rid of Damon and not endangering my family. The only thing that kept recycling in my mind was running away. If I wasn't around then Damon had no reason to attack my family. At least that's my rationalization. I had two problems with my plan and their names were Jasper and Edward. Edward wouldn't be as hard. I just had to make sure I kept thinking things that would keep him out of my head. Jasper, on the other hand, was going to be difficult. He was already determined to not leave me alone. I'm not sure how I'm going to be able to sneak off without him knowing.

'Great now I have another thing to worry about.' I thought to myself. I knew that I would hurt him greatly. I walked numbly down the halls of school. Jasper was outside waiting just in case something happened. Edward and Bella were in my next class so I had to start thinking random thoughts. I started singing random songs in my head. Edward shot me a look as soon as he and Bella approached me.

"Alice." Edward commented on my current song of choice.

"Sorry, it's stuck in my head." I shrugged and gave him my most innocent grin.

"I hate when that happens." Bella added.

"Yeah." I smiled and we went in our next class together. I got tired of hearing the same songs I like over and over, so I started reciting movie quotes.

Edward leaned over and whispered in my ear. "I know you're hiding something from me and I'm going to figure it out."

I laughed it off. "I'm not hiding anything."

"I'm watching you."

Well, that felt like a threat I didn't need. I decided that the time before last period would be a convenient time to make my escape. Neither Edward nor Bella were in my class and I could leave without them being aware. As soon as the bell rang, I was up and out of my seat quickly. The three of us parted ways and now I had my chance. I walked toward the back of the school. I prayed Jasper didn't notice. I stepped out onto the track and I scanned around searching for my Jasper. This was too easy. He had to be watching me. I knew I wasn't going to be able to leave. I made my way to the bleachers of the football field and sat down. Soon an arm draped over me.

"I knew you'd find me." I whispered and leaned my head against his shoulder.

"What are you doing out here?" Jasper asked.

"Skipping PE."

Jasper kissed my head and sent waves of love toward me. "Are you sure you're not trying to run away."

"Why would I run?"

"Because Edward informed me that you've been keeping your thoughts hidden using all sorts of various methods."

I knew I couldn't lie to Jasper. "I just think it would be for the best for me to leave."

"And I think that's the worst thing you could possibly do. Alice, we're a family. We stick together."

"Damon's going to hurt all of you because of me."

"One, Damon isn't going to hurt anyone and two, this is not your fault."

"Why can't he just go after the Volturi and leave us alone?"

"I think we should call them and ask for their help."

I looked into my husband's golden eyes. "Do you think they would? I mean, honestly?"

"I'm not sure but we can always try."

"What do we have to lose?" I sighed and took Jasper's hand. "Let's go home. I have a long distance phone call to make."

Jasper shook his head. "Actually, you have class and plus there's the fact that Edward doesn't know you're out here. I'm sure he'll be beside himself if he realizes you're not here."

"Fine." I kissed his cheek. "Wait for me after school?"

"Of course."

I kissed him one last time and ran back inside the school. Lucky for me, I wasn't missed during PE. I'm the smallest person in gym so I get overlooked at lot. We played volleyball and soon class was over.

I met Edward, Bella, and Jasper at Edward's car. Jasper wrapped his arm around me and we got inside the Volvo. The drive back home was spent in silence. Edward didn't even have the radio playing. He pulled into the garage and we all headed inside. Esme greeted us all with a huge hug.

"How was school?" She asked.

"Alice decided to be a complete idiot and go off alone with Damon." Edward replied. I wanted to slap him. He heard my thoughts. "Well, you were."

"I told you the reason I left with him. I'm not sure the students of Forks High are ready to learn about vampires and demon lords."

"Alice, did you not hear when Carlisle said we need to stay together?" Esme said shaking her head at me.

"Wow, Alice." Emmett tossed from his seat on the couch. "You're supposed to the psychic, you should have seen that was a stupid idea."

"Why doesn't everyone just get on my case?" I said it more harshly than I intended. "I'm so sick of being fussed at!" I didn't care if I sounded like a spoiled child, I was angry. I wanted so badly to make everything be the way it used to be. Before Damon stepped in the picture and ruined my happy family. I stormed out of the room and up the stairs. I made a point to slam the door very hard. I grabbed the closest thing to me, a pillow, and slung it across the room. I picked up the telephone and dialed the Volturi.

"I need to speak to Aro. Tell him it's Alice Cullen."
