Thank you so much for everyone's kind words and taking the time to read this story! Again "Twilight", "Wipeout", and the song titles from Tiger Army do not belong to me!

Edward came home later that night. We were still engrossed with the television. We were watching "Wipeout". Even Carlisle and Esme had joined us.

"Do I even want to know?" Edward asked.

Emmett smiled at him. "This is the best show ever! I seriously think I'm going to try out for it."

Rosalie eyed him. "And what are you going to do about the sun?"

"Sparkle my way to victory!" Was his response.

"Just admit it Em, you want to get close to those big balls." Jasper stated.

"Funny Jasper."

We fell into a comfortable silence and continued watching as the contestants would keep falling and getting hit by objects.

As much as I was enjoying watching people torture themselves for money, I decided to go upstairs. I still had homework I needed to finish. I knew it wouldn't take me long to complete it. I excused myself and made my way to my room. I opened my door to find Damon sitting on my bed. Before I could register a response, he was at my side and everything became dark.

I felt his warm hands around my waist. My eyesight finally returned. I knew where we were.

"Welcome home darling." He said. We were standing in a large room. I quickly glanced around. The walls were made of stone. It was very dark and it reminded me of being in a castle dungeon. Nothing about this place seemed homey.

"This is not my home." My voice held an icy tone. I pulled myself out of his embrace.

Damon laughed. "Why do you fight me so? Do you not realize that this is what's best for you?"

"My family will hunt you down."

"Your family is here."

"I'll never join you. I'd rather die."

Damon's eyes flashed red and he bent down to my ear. I could feel his hot breath on my skin making my skin prickle. He cupped my face with his hand brining me closer to him.

"There are several ways to die. Many very painful."

I knew he was trying to intimidate me, to make me complacent. I wanted, no I needed to be strong. I would not let him break me.

"Then kill me." I said with as much bravado I could muster.

He laughed and then kissed my cheek leaving my skin burning. He released his hold on me and walked to a chair that sat near one of the walls. The chair reminded me of a throne royalty would sit in, but it wasn't as fancy. He gestured to another chair. I refused to sit.

"Did you really think that you can entrap me?"

My eyes shot up. He did know about our plans. "Why did you give me my visions back?"

"To let you see that your plan would never work. I'm not a low grade demon."

"Why am I here?"

"I'm giving you one last chance Alice. Join me or die with your family."

"I believe you know my answer."

Damon's eyes once again turned crimson and he was in front of me in an instant. He grabbed my shoulders and slammed me against the cold stone wall.

"I promise I'll rip your precious family to shreds. You my dear, will be forced to watch them die."

My eyes lost focus and a vision took over. The vision was the same as the earlier one. My family and I were in the woods. I stood paralyzed as Damon murdered them. I screamed because that was the only thing I was capable of doing.

"Alice! Alice honey, it's okay." I heard the voice but it sounded so far away. "Alice, you're safe now."

I opened my eyes. I was sitting on the floor in my bedroom. Jasper held me in his arms. Carlisle and Edward were in front of me.

"Damon?" I muttered.

"He's not here." Edward answered. "Emmett and Rosalie are searching the area though."

"Are you okay?" Jasper asked me. His voice sounded so terrified that it made my heart break.

I nodded and then informed my family of what happened.

"Alright so entrapping him isn't going to work." Edward stated. "So, how are we going to get rid of him?"

Carlisle stood up. "This has gone to far. I'm contacting the Volturi myself. I will demand their help."

"Aro wouldn't listen to me." I told him.

"He'll listen to me." Carlisle seemed confident. "I'm going to Italy."

"I'm going with you." I said and pulled myself up.

Jasper grabbed my arm. "No Alice."

I turned to him. "I have to Jasper. Aro needs to see how serious this is. He'll need to see my thoughts."

"Alice is right." Carlisle replied.

"Than I'm coming too." Jasper stated.

"No!" I didn't want to endanger Jasper.

"It will only be Alice and myself." Carlisle's voice was soft but stern. No one argued. "I'll make the arrangements. Alice get ready." He left quickly.

Edward walked over and gave me a hug. "Be careful."

"Always." I pulled away and watched him retreat. As soon as he was gone, I focused on Jasper. I wrapped myself around him letting his embrace comfort me.

"You don't realize how this is killing me." He whispered.

"I can't let my vision come true." I told him. "I can't watch you being ripped apart." Pain and fear coursed through my entire body only to be replaced with peace and love.

"I love you." Jasper leaned down and kissed me.

"I love you." I kissed him one last time and we walked down stairs.

Emmett, Rosalie, and Esme were in the garage. Esme was going to drive us to the airport. She and Carlisle were locked in a firm embrace. Emmett and Rosalie both gave me a hug.

"Be careful pixie." Emmett replied.

"I will. Take care of him for me." I nodded toward Jasper.

Emmett wrapped his arm around Jasper's shoulder. "I will guard him with my life."

Jasper pulled Emmett's arm off his shoulder. "I'll be fine." He promised. His eyes were sad though and it broke my heart once more to see the pain I was causing.

"I'm sorry." I whispered as I made my way to him.

"Stop apologizing. This is in no way your fault." He held me tightly. I wished I could stay that way forever.

"Yes it is, but thank you anyway." I kissed him. He escorted me to the car, and opened the back door for me and I got in. After another round of goodbyes, Esme started the car and drove us to the airport.

Carlisle and I got our tickets and Esme walked with us as far as she could go. She quickly gave me a hug and kissed her husband bye. We waited until she was out of sight before we went through security. Neither one of us had luggage, so we were able to get through the line quickly. We had thirty minutes before our flight boarded, so Carlisle and I decided to look around in one of the stores.

I was glancing at one of the fashion magazines when I noticed a little girl was staring at me. She reminded me of a very young Bella. She had long brown hair and brown eyes. She was wearing yellow sundress. She smiled at me.

"I like your dress." I told her.

Her smile widened. "My mommy bought it for me." She twirled around.

"Well, it's very pretty."

Carlisle approached me. He smiled at the girl. "Hello." He said. He always had a soft spot for children.

"Wow, you're very pale." She stated looking up and then at me. "You both are!"

He wasn't offended by her statement and laughed. "My daughter and I don't tan very well."

"My mommy makes me use lots of sun lotion so I don't burn."

"Where is your mommy?"

The little girl pointed at the register. "Buying a book and me a coloring book."

"Emma, it's time to go." Her mother said approaching us.

"Okay mommy." She turned to us. "Bye!"

"Bye Emma." I waved. I decided to purchase the magazine I was holding. Carlisle also had a book his hand. "She's so cute. She reminds me of Bella." I told him as we made our way to the cashier.

"Yes, she does. She seemed to like you."

"It's because I'm short."

"I think it's because of your bubbly personality."

I laughed. "That too." We bought our books and headed toward our gate. It just so happened that Emma and her mother were on the same flight. We sat across from them. Emma had out some crayons and was coloring. She smiled at us.

"What's your name?"

"I'm Carlisle and this is Alice."

"I'm Emma and I'm four. This is my mommy Caroline."

"It's very nice to meet you both."

Caroline smiled. "Emma doesn't know a stranger. She's very social." She watched her daughter color.

"Alice was and still is our social butterfly."

"Thanks Dad." I said not sure if that was a compliment or not.

"Is Alice your only child?"

"No, my wife Esme and I have five adopted children." Carlisle's voice was full of pride.

Caroline's eyes widened. "Wow, five? Are they all around the same age?"

"Yes, Alice happens to be the youngest."

"Edward's my age." I defended. "Dad just says that I'm the youngest because I'm the smallest of the family."

"I'm the youngest too!" Emma said. "I have an older brother. He's seven and he's mean!"

"Emma! That wasn't very nice to say." Caroline replied.

"It's true."

I laughed. "It's okay. My older brother Emmett is like that sometimes."

"Hey Alice, do you wanna color with me?"

"Sure." I got up and sat down beside Emma. She handed me one of her coloring books and some crayons. The coloring book was Hello Kitty and I found a page of Hello Kitty having a picnic. We colored in silence until our plane began boarding. We quickly said our goodbyes and found our seat on the plane. We were toward the back. I leaned back in my seat and pulled down the window shade beside me. We would be on the plane at least twelve hours, so I made myself comfy and opened my magazine. I didn't want think about where we were going. I had enough flight time to worry about that. Right now, I just wanted to get lost in the world of fashion. Reality will be there when I return.
