Chapter 6
The Plan
Fate has a habit of making everything turn out in the end, for me I had yet to figure out how this was going to be alright. I suppose that in the end all you can do is wait and hope, but if all else fails, what you need is a plan.
We were speeding down the deserted freeway out of Forks, where we were going I had yet to figure out. We drove in silence all of us stuck in our own thoughts of the night, all of us thinking of what we could possibly do to save our family.
When we stopped, we were at what appeared to be an old boarded up house.
" This should be a safe location, there are no houses for miles." Alice explained.
I was confused. Why would we need to be so far away from civilization?
" Alice why exactly do we need to be away from people? Does it really matter?"
" Of course it matters, Bella. First of all we're going to need a plan if you ever want to see Edward again, and we wouldn't want anyone to overhear us. And second of all I think I have a plan, but it will most surely involve staying away from people, at least for now."
Emmett spoke up then, he seemed as puzzled as I was.
"And what exactly is this ingenious plan of yours, Alice?"
"Well, I always knew it would happen eventually, and now is as good I time as any. It certainly couldn't hurt, what with our going to battle the Volturi."
"Alice, we still don't understand, we can't exactly read your mind." Emmett said, exasperated.
" My plan, is to turn Bella into one of us." Alice said simply, grinning. She had known all along it was coming, and was glad that her vision would finally come true.
I wasn't sure what to think. I had always wanted to be a vampire, but at the same time, I wanted Edward to be the one to do it. I thought some more about it and decided that Edward needed me and I would to anything do save him. I would finally get my chance to be Superman.
"Let's do it, we need to hurry if we're going to have any chance to save them." I stated with conviction, I knew now that Edward was the most important thing, the only factor in my choice.
"Bella are you sure? You know I love you like a sister but there's no going back." Emmett was concerned in the way that all caring big brothers were, but he had no need to be afraid I trusted Alice. I knew she would not harm me.
"Of course I'm sure, I trust you all, I'm not afraid. You know this is what I want, and it was bound to happen eventually anyway."
Emmett smiled and nodded, accepting my decision. I think he understood how much I needed Edward, and how much I needed to be equal to him, or at least somewhat equal.
Alice spoke up then. "Well Bella, I guess that means it's time."
"Wait." I said. " I just want to know what's going to happen once the transformation is over."
"Well, most importantly we're going to hope that we're not too late by that time."
I tried for a brief moment to imagine what would happen if we failed, but the image was too painful to bear. Life without the Cullens, my family and most importantly Edward.
Alice continued. "Well the first part of our plan is to hope that your gift surfaces quickly, I'm sure that whatever it is will be helpful in battle, especially considering how interested Aro was in you. Secondly we are going to catch a plane to Volterra and when we get there we will try our very best to save everyone."
"Alright one last thing, how are we supposed to be on a plane after I'm changed, how can I be in such a small space with so many people."
"Well, you would never be able to be in a plane with that many people." Alice explained.
"Which is why it's a very good thing that we vampires have such good connections. When you've been alive as long as we have you meet a lot of people. We are traveling by a private jet flown by one of Carlisle's old friends."
"I'm ready now." I said, and I was, I had been ready for a long time, ready to belong to a God like Edward.
Emmett lifted me up and gently placed me on a battered, dusty and faded old sofa. Alice then leaned over me and sank her sharp teeth into my soft flesh, at first there was fiery pain and then nothing but blackness.
AN: I know it's short, I apologize, making short chapters is a terrible habit of mine, but I figured that this was a good place to stop. Any who, read and review, as always. I'm disappointed with the lack of reviews, I believe I got 2 reviews last time, and 39 hits. REVIEW!
