Chapter 12 Bella's Back

Alice's POV

I didn't understand what was going on. I couldn't understand what was going on. Bella was back. I really thought I was losing my mind, but it was her, it smelled like her, only now she was a vampire. Two weeks ago I was with her and Edward in a garden then her future disappeared. By the time we got to where she was supposed to be she was gone.

Her scent never left that spot, she was just gone. There was a hint of a blood type creature, but it also didn't leave the area, just a stone angel with his hands covering his eyes was the only thing in the area. We searched for hours all over the garden, but never picked up Bella's scent or any human, vampire or other scent we couldn't account for. She literally disappeared out from under our noses.

It was soon after when the smell of wet dog became more prevalent. We cooperated with Charlie and even helped with searches. It was useless though and we knew it. We would have smelled her leaving the garden, but we did everything we could to help find her. Edward was the worst. He searched day and night. He had run all over the peninsula, twice. Even broke the treaty once as he picked up an old scent of hers and followed it.

Then just a few hours ago I saw Edward planning to confront the new pack of wolves, alone. Only I don't think he intend to win. I didn't think he would do it, until his future disappeared as soon as he decided to go see them. I was able to get our family to him just in time, but the wolves were not very happy with us. I could tell Edward wanted to die, was desperate for escape only I couldn't image he would kill himself before he found out the cause, on the off chance she was still alive.

As fate would have it she was and she just appeared out of thin air. A weird noise off in the distance and all of a sudden Bella stood before us, a vampire, apparently an 80 year old vampire. I was still having a hard time believing in time travel. However, that was Bella and her eyes proved that she was a vegetarian vampire that has had enough time for her eyes to completely change, something that would not be possible in just two weeks.

Not to mention the guy she was with. It sounded like he had two heartbeats. If that was the case then I would have to say he was an alien. If he was then I suppose time travel is not that farfetched after all. I just didn't get it. Edward was upstairs right now taking a shower for the first time since Bella disappeared, for that I was very grateful. Not that we sweat or have body odor, just would like him to get cleaned up and try and get back to normal.

I was doing my best to keep Edward out of my mind as I feared what would happen in the near future. It was obvious that this is Bella, our Bella from two weeks ago, but she had been living with us, us from a different time period and I feared that would mean that she would have to leave again. She can't stay here as she is no longer a part of this timeline, according to what the Doctor was saying. I just don't know what would happen to Edward if she was to disappear again. Given his state of mind these last few days I don't think he would survive if she left again. What was worse is I don't think we would have any right to try and keep her here with us in this timeline.

This is not helping my mental state at all. There are too many things I don't understand and can't see. Even though I know Bella is alive and I have seen her; I still can't see her and she is a vampire. Why can't I see her?

I heard that same noise as before, when Bella showed up. I figured she was true to her word and was already back from doing whatever it was she needed to do.

"Hey, sorry it took so long." Bella said as she approached the house with the man that had two hearts.

I bolted over to her and gave her a big hug, something I wanted to do before Edward occupied all her time earlier. The Doctor barely even flinched at my speed. Guess he really did know all about vampires.

I heard the shower turn off and Edward was making plans to run away with Bella as he got dressed. I knew that would not go over well with Bella. They said they were here to prevent the Volturi from gaining control of the world. That was a freighting thought as that group, above all others, view humans as nothing more than their food supply. The only reason they keep the peace is to make it easier for them to have their meals brought to them. They have humans delivered to their castle in Volterra under the pretense of winning a trip and a tour of an old castle.

I did not like the thought of them gaining any more control than they already had. I also did not like the idea of us having to fight them, not that we really could. The Volturi family was to powerful for us to go against, since they had so many Guard members, some with extraordinary gifts.

I held Bella a little longer; I had missed her so much. "Where did go?"

"I had to ensure that what happened to me did not happen to someone else."

"What did happen?" Carlisle asked.

"Please take a seat; I'll explain everything as best I can."

Edward came running in the room at that moment and I knew my time with Bella was up. He took her over to the couch and sat her on his lap.

"I can walk on my own you know."

"I am not taking any chances." Edward said, still trying to decide where best to take her.

"So here is the short of the story. As the Doctor mention I was sent back in time, to 1917 Chicago. There I meet human Edward. But just as with your timeline he was struck by the Spanish Influenza and Carlisle changed him and me. The rest of the story is much the same. The time we have spent together would of course be different, but I am sure most events would have been similar, though we never meet any wolves, still can't believe Jacob is a werewolf. I had to leave you guys in 2002 though. When you would have meet human Bella in 2005, when I came to Forks. I can't cross my own timeline as it would be very bad. So during my time alone I ran into the Doctor again. He asked me to travel with him, to pass the time."

"It was then that we somehow crossed timelines. We came to this timeline, the timeline where I had disappeared and found it was completely different. It was 3000AD and Italy was overrun with vampires out in the open. We found out that they had come out to the public a little at a time and after a brief war the Volturi took over control of the governments from the shadows. They controlled the world leaders and the public was none the wiser."

"A short time later we jumped back to the same time period only in the timeline that I went to. The future was much the same only vampires did not control the world, but were living as part of it, in a small sense. Marcus was the Leader of the Volturi and said he and our family had defeated his brothers. That a vampire he trusted told him something and that he fought with his brothers and took control of the Volturi."

"We came here to ensure that the future of this timeline does not go down that other road and the Volturi does not gain control of the world."

"Don't worry Bella we'll take care of it. You won't need to be involved." Edward said, happy to have his love in his arms again.

"Actually I will." She said like she knew something.

"No love, you will not be anywhere near the fighting." Edward was a little sterner this time.

"What makes you think that?" She asked, and I could tell she was getting a little upset.

"It doesn't involve you." Edward replied.

Before I could blink Bella was off Edward's lap and by the door. "Ready Doctor? It would seem that they are not interest in my help, so I'll leave it to Edward."

"If you say so." The Doctor replied, but I could tell he was playing along. Whatever they knew it was big.

Edward ran over to Bella and grabbed her. "You can't leave me again."

"I am not leaving you Edward; you just killed your family." She replied.

"What do you mean Bella?" Carlisle asked, very concerned for our well being.

"If Edward won't allow me to help then you are all dead."

"Don't be so pessimistic Bella. We will be fine." Edward tried to dismiss, but his voice was betraying him.

"Then explain to me why in the future of this timeline your family is all dead? But in the other timeline everyone is alive and well?"

"You can't seriously believe that one vampire could turn the balance? Are you really that good of a fighter?" Edward's resolve was weakening at the thought of all of us being gone.

"No I am not that good of a fighter. But have you ever wondered why you can't read my mind?"

"Now that you mention it, Edward, can you read her mind now that she is a vampire?" Carlisle asked.

"No, I can't. Why is that?"

"Because I am a mental shield, I am capable of keeping my mind safe from outside influence. There are members of the Volturi Guard that can incapacitate the best fighters or entire armies. If your mind is vulnerable to them, you are as good as dead, no matter how good of a fighter you are."

"So the Guard members are really as powerful as their stories claim." Jasper asked.

"Yes." Bella replied.

"In the Southern Covens we always took precautions to ensure that the Volturi did not come back. I have heard that they are undefeatable because some of them were gifted with abilities that leave their opposition with no senses and another that can cause such a great pain that you wish you were dead."

"It is true." Bella replied again. "The family has acquired gifted vampires over the millennium and uses their Guard to enforce their will. No one has beaten them in over 2500 years and no one has even stood up to them with any force since the Romanians."

"It certainly sounds like a fight we would be hard pressed to win alone."

"No, it is impossible to win alone and without me I don't care if you have every vampire around you still could not win. So it is up to you Edward, are you going to come off you high horse and let me save you?" Bella stared down Edward now.

He did not like how this conversation has turned out, but he knew what had to happen. "I don't have a choice do I?"

She pulled her arm free and went and sat down on the couch, he followed and sat beside her. We spoke about what all had happened, in the future and what all needed to happened in order to prevent Aro from gaining control of the world. Edward was still planning something stupid and I was going to have to ensure that he didn't follow through with it. As much as it pains me to know this, I will be losing my brother and sister after the battle is over.

"Doctor, do you have a moment?" I asked.

"Sure Alice." I took him out back and then grabbed him and ran far enough away from the others, so they could not hear me and Edward could not read my mind.

"Sorry, I hope I didn't scare you."

"No Bella has had to do that a couple times already."

"So tell me the truth Doctor, Bella is not staying with us is she?"

"This is no longer her timeline."

"What will it do to Edward?"

"How much do you want to know? How much are you prepared for?"

"I am not sure, but the future is so blurry for me. I can't see anything with any clarity now. The weather is still clear, but other than that everything is hazy, uncertain."

"What do you mean? What kind of gift do you have?"

"I am a clairvoyant. I can see the future based on people's decisions."

"How interesting, well how much are you willing to know?"

"I am use to knowing the future, everything that I can know I know so as much as you can tell me."

"In truth Bella was careful with her words earlier. When she said 'you just killed your family', she meant that he was not one of the ones to be dead. She also didn't elaborate, but it would seem to include others, friends of yours, thirty or so vampires were all killed by over a hundred Volturi members several hundred years in the future. Carlisle did not like the way Aro was doing things and when he challenged him he and everyone else that stood with him were eliminated."

"Edward joined the Volturi?" I breathed out, he didn't say it, but that was the only logical reason he would not be with us.

"Yes, he is a high ranking member of the Volturi Guard. The loss of Bella changed him; broke him and he sought escape. He drinks human blood and lives among the Volturi."

"When you leave, Bella is going with you, isn't she?" I had to hear the words I knew were coming.

"Yes, as I said, this is not her timeline; her life is with the other Cullens, the ones that she has spent the last 80 years with."

"Bella disappeared and Edward joined the Volturi and brought about the change of the whole of human history. What will happen when she leaves this time?"

"I don't know. I fear that he will carry out his original plan."

"Die." I said for him. "It was what he was trying to do when you first showed up. He went to the wolves to be killed. They were going to because they figured it was us that killed Bella."

"I am so sorry. I really wish there was a way to make it better, but there really is only one Bella, she cannot be in two timelines at once. To stay in this one, the other Edward would experience a loss far greater than this Edward as they have been together since the beginning of their vampire lives."

"It isn't fair. How could that Angel do this? Do they even know what they have caused, do they even care?"

"No, they only need to send people back to live on their life energy. Bella destroyed the one that sent her back to ensure it didn't happen to others. It is not fair, I know, but at this point we are trying to set right what we can while we can, before it is too late."

"What do you mean? You said you are a time traveler, what would it matter if this world has changed in one timeline?"

"There cannot be two timelines. The best I can tell is that because Edward did not die in the course of a normal human time frame he was able to influence a group that was powerful and able to change the world. You see the sphere of influence is what changes. Bella's disappearance only affected this area of the world. A small insignificant event in the course of human history, a girl disappeared, compared to the volcano of Pompeii, or the creation of the hydrogen bomb, or the moon landing. However, because of her disappearance, a thousand years down the road a man that grieved for her loss influence a member of the most power beings to change his view of authority and sought to gain control on a global scale."

"So because Bella disappeared Edward provided a catalyst for Aro to become a power hungry madman?"

"In a nutshell, yes and if we don't stop Aro it is possible he would do this at some point in the future."

"I can't believe my brother would join the Volturi. I just can't believe he would leave his family like that. But I suppose if he was willing to die for her then he would be willing to do anything for an escape. Do you think he will survive, when you and Bella leave?"

"It is hard to say. I don't think so. Bella will have to die in this timeline, to ensure she can't come back again, giving closure that was denied to everyone before."

I nodded, I knew I was going to lose them both; I would have to be strong for them, for the rest of my family and Charlie. I was hoping that maybe I would be able to do something to give closure to him as well. "I'll help you out any way I can. Just so you know Edward is trying to make plans to run with Bella. He isn't as set on it now that he knows the Volturi are more powerful than he originally thought, but he hasn't given up on the idea of taking her away."

"I have no doubts he will do his best to keep her here. He was a wreck when I meet the future him. He was cold, distant, it was very frightening. Of course that Edward had plans to keep Bella too, and this is the same one, just an earlier version."

"Time Travel? That is not something I would image is possible."
