APOV (Alice)
I took in the faces of my five worst enemies, but I knew that they would no longer appear like my biggest problem. I had seen a real problem, and some real enemies, and their faces didn't show a fear of the future. My fellow guards-in-training looked terrified, and I realized they were expecting me to continueon with what I had seen in my vision.
"What is it, Alice?" Jasper demanded, "What did you see?"
Only Edward, seemed calmer then the rest, and he told me, "They think that you saw us all dying. You might as well tell everyone what you saw."
"Stupid mindreader," I mumbled, "I saw us facing the newborns. There were thirty of them, and their leader. And there was a pile of bodies behind them. The bodies of the..." my voice broke into a sob, even though I would never be able to cry again.
"The bodies of the Vulturi guards?" Bella guess, and I nodded, "But are you sure you saw thirty newborns? I thought they couldn't survive in those kind of numbers before they start killing each other." she was confused, but then, we all were.
Marcus said, "The vampire world is changing. This is certainly a large group we are dealing with, but there are groups of fifty newborns in some parts of the world. The technique to stopping them from killing each other has sadly been perfected."
We all took in the information, commiting it to memory to use in the future. If we even had a future, which I'm sure we were all begining to doubt. All I could hope for was a chance to survive, and to see my best friends Jane and Jessica, to gossip with about the fight. But I knew that wasn't all I wanted. I wanted to survive and go shopping in a huge mall, using my vampire powers to shop at least one hundred times faster then I used to. I wanted to survive to find my parents, and to tell them that I wasn't mad at them for commiting me to the ayslum for my visions. I wanted to survive to be able to see my little sister again, to tell her that I loved her, and that I hoped she would get a better future then me. But mostly, I wanted to survive to finally get an oppertunity to tell Jasper what I had been thinking for the couple of months I had known him for; that I was in love with him.
I looked up, and searched for him, for my love, but I didn't see him anywhere. He had been walking a few feet beside me the entire time, but now he disappeared. Then I felt a hand tug at my wrist, and spinned around. Jasper stood behind me, a determed look overcoming his scared expression. There was a sudden lump in my throat that had nothing to do with the newborns. Jasper smiled timidly, and hung on to my wrist as the others pressed on. They all gave us a curious look, but didn't say anything. It was obvious what we were going to say to each other.
"Alice." Jasper began, when the others were out of hearing range, "I need to tell you something."
So the looks I had caught him giving me meant something after all, "I know." I responded, "And Jasper, I feel the same way."
He pulled me towards him for a kiss, and I thought I would melt in happiness. It was better then I thought it would be, and trust me when I say that I had thought about it quite a bit. Jasper wrapped his hands around my waist, and I had just managed to get my hands tangled in his hair when I felt a vision taking over my mind.
Jasper was wearing a pair of worn jeans, and a blue polo shirt. His usual chain was gone, and he looked absolutely adoorable. He was running towards me, a stricken look on his face, and he was screaming, but I could barely make out the words. "Run, Alice, run! Don't let him get you!" and then I was screaming as well, but I wasn't screaming any words, just a scream of pain. Jasper reached me just as I was falling to the ground, gasping. "I love you." he howled, and collasped by my side, holding me to him. The last thing I saw was a huge ring on my finger, a wedding ring.
I gasped for air as I was brought back to present time. My vision scared me, but there were things I had to do before letting the panic take hold of me. I checked Jasper's clothes and was pleased to notice that he wasn't wearing jeans and a blue polo, but a pair of biege kaki shorts, and a red t-shirt. He also had his silver chain around his neck. The only thing I wasn't quite pleased to notice was the lack of a wedding ring of my finger. The vision, and these facts, made me wonder if I was going to survive to marry Jasper.
He was staring down at me with worry in his face, and also curiousity. I could tell he wanted to know what I had seen, but wasn't going to ask me until I was ready to tell him. But I wasn't quite ready to inform the boy who had finally expressed his feelings for me that I had an upcoming demise. For some reason, it just didn't seem romantic.
"Don't ever wear a blue polo." I told him, trying to make a joke of my vision, "If you do, I'll kill you. Or actually, something will kill me," I laughed a mad woman's desperate laugh.
He was really worried now, "What? You saw yourself dying? No! I won't let you die! I won't let Marcus make you fight. You can't die on me, Alice, you just can't." he choked on dry tears.
I shook my head, "Don't worry, it won't happen right now. For once thing, you aren't wearing the blue polo. For another, I'm not wearing the ring." then I remembered he didn't know about the ring.
"Ring?" he asked, "What ring? Wait, were you wearing a wedding ring in your vision? Are we going to get married in the future, Alice?"
I shrugged, but was secretly delighted by the smile that showed up on his haunted features when he brought up our possible future together, "I'm not sure that it was a wedding ring, or that I was married to you, but I some wearing some big shiny ring in my vision."
Jasper let me lean my head against his chest, and he began to stroke my hair, "But I'm sure we will be together." he murmured softly, "Together forever. But I promise that I will keep you safe, Alice."
I nearly purred in satisfaction, "We should try to remain alive today, first. And the others are long gone." I accepted a hand up from Jasper, and we sprinted towards the rest of the group.
Rosalie and Emmet were missing, but Bella, Edward, and Marcus were waiting at the doors of the castle, not speaking. Edward smirked when he saw us, Marcus raised an eyebrow, but Bella didn't say anything. I was starting to like her, even if we were supposed to be enemies. Because I was supposed to be enemies with Jasper too, and that hadn't worked out very well. Jasper and I waited in silence with them, but we remained holding hands. Finally, Rosalie and Emmet came out of a room, looking sorrowful to be leaving each other's company to join us in the fight.
Marcus scowled at them but gave us our instructions, "They are in the east of the city. You can probably smell them out, due to all the blood from the humans they took." he left us alone.
"You know, he could have at least pretended to care if we lived or died," Rosalie sniffed, "I mean, why should we even help out the Vulturi if they are all like him?"
Emmet shrugged, "To have some fun, I guess." then he broke into a grin.
Jasper squeezed my hand and looked out towards where we were supposed to be running, "If I wanted to find something fun to do, I'm sure I could have thought of something else." he voiced.
"We need to help all the people in the city from the newborns," I pointed out, not wanting to waste more time.
Edward glared at me, "Theres no 'we' in it. Don't think that just because the Vulturi forced me to work with you people, that I am apart of some group."
Bella hid a smile, "Techniclly, none of us are people. But we still need to all work together to save Voltura because the Volturi admitted themselves; they can't handle the situation. And we won't be able to either, if we are too busy despising each other to do what needs to be done."
Everyone agreed with her, and Emmet roared, "Let's go kick some newborn butt!"
I rolled my eyes, but followed him in running towards where the newborns were supposed to be, never letting go of Jasper's hand. The sweet smell of human blood hit me before too long, and I wasn't the only one to widen my eyes at the smell. In fact, the only one who didn't seem to go crazy with want for the blood was Bella, because of her preference to animal blood. There was no way I would be able to contain my bloodlust, but I held my breath as we finally stopped before a scene that would make even Emmet think twice about the fight.
Thirty beautiful, pale, deadly, vampires with blood-red eyes crouched in attacking positions. Blood ran down from the chin of a female, and she licked it away, with a quick glance at the huge pile of crumbled and drained human and vampire bodies. A tall male, who had to have more muscle then Emmet, and more height then Jasper, stood in front of the thirty newborns, a cold, calculating look in his red eyes that gave him away as the leader.
It was my vision, coming true.
Thanks for reading this chapter, if you did read it. Now please review. I won't ask for a certain number of reviews before posting another chapter, because I don't have enough patience for that, but please review anyway. And I love constructive criticism, so don't hesitate to give me advice. Oh, and I want to know if anyone has any ideas for whose point of view the next chapter should be in. Edward, or Bella, or someone else?
