Chapter 14
Alice POV
It was a quite drive back to my house we had dropped Bella's car off at her place. Emmett and Rosalie didn't say a word the whole ride. Rosalie kept shooting Bella dirty looks.
I was really wishing that my powers were more precise because right now I was getting glimpses of different ways that this night would end. I guess that everyone had different choices to make and they all kept clashing in my head.
I tried being less vague about what I wanted to see and just focused on Bella but her future was in flux.
As we pulled up the house I heard a small gasp escape from Bella. "You guys live here" she said I could hear the awe in her voice. "Yeah" she didn't move just stood there staring.
"Wow its huge, you must be loaded." She started for the door. "It has to be big we have a big family." Esme met us just inside door. "Hi, I'm Esme." She said taking Bella's hand and shaking it.
Everyone was in the living room waiting for us. "Bella have you meet everyone?" I asked as she was standing there not knowing what to do. I figured that I would start with the easy introductions first. My visions weren't helping me I had seen so many ways that this could play out I wasn't sure what to do. I hadn't been this blocked since Bella was pregnant. Something about her was changing the future constantly. The old Bella had been a mystery to Edward and this one seemed to be one to me.
I knew she was fully human but it was almost like she wasn't. The only ones that ever messed with my visions were the werewolves and half-vamps. But with time I had learned to look past them and see their future also. This girl was strange.
"That's my father Carlisle and my mother Esme." I told her pointing to them in the back corner they waved. "This is Rosalie and Emmett" Emmett jumped up at his name and gave her a huge bear hug. I thought for a minute he was going to freak her out but she smiled and laughed at him. Rosalie hadn't moved an inch just gave her a half hearted smile.
"This is Jasper" I said taking his arm "Hello Bella." He said taking her hand gracefully. That was my Jasper always the gentleman.
"You've met EJ the girl next to him is Leah." Leah huffed out of the room. "and the last two are Elizabeth and Jacob." Hey they both smilled at her warmly and seemed to share a private giggle about something.
"Don't you have another brother?" most people after just meeting a family my size wouldn't notice one missing. That is unless they were looking for them in particular. "Yes my brother Edward isn't feeling well he came home early." I said covering for why he wasn't there. I didn't want to make her think he didn't like her. "im going to go check on him" I told everyone and quickly left.
Edward was in his room staring at his wedding picture. "Edward, can I come in?" He slowly nodded. "Listen I know this is hard on you her being here but its hard on us all." He looked at me with a puzzled look. "I know she was your best friend but I loved her I don't think you know just how hard it is." He was right I couldn't feel it from his point of view but I had my own demons this girl was bring to the surface.
"Did I ever tell you how sorr I was that I failed you?" I asked him. "How did you fail me?" he shot at me.
"I failed you because I should have seen her death coming so I could have prevented it." I felt his arm around me and he kissed the top of my head. "But Alice you did remember?" I looked up at his face he had a strange smile on it.
I couldn't recall. I couldn't see anything about her when she had been pregnant and I pissed me off. He must have been reading my thoughts because without a word from me he explained.
"when we first met her you had two visions one of her as a vampire and one of her dead in my arms. That's why I never was upset about you not seeing her dying because after we buried her I remembered you first vision of her and realized that was what you saw." I remembered the vision very clearly now. I guess it made sense I had seen her dead in a vision but with us deciding to change her and everything going the way it did I just thought that the other one was the true future.
"Maybe they both are true. There is never a time limit on the future. Maybe the vampire Bella you saw was this girl and not my Bella."
He always had a way of putting things into perspective.
