The Vision-Edward

Something was fishy about this whole thing. Jasper had absolutely no problem leaving Alice. That worried me. Alice meant more to Jasper than anyone. So why was it all of a sudden he was after Bella? My Bella.

Alice and I had talked about leaving. She wanted to get out of here; she couldn't bear to face Jasper. He was still everything to her. But something kept me from leaving. I couldn't explain it. Jasper's thoughts didn't sound like his anymore. They'd changed. It was like someone else was using him as a puppet. I shook it off. No one was using him as a puppet. He was just changing. I went through a similar phase after my rebellious period. I went from who I was as a human, to who I am now as a vampire.

I heard a knock on my door.

"Who is it?" I kept it harsh. I wanted to be left alone.

"Alice. Can we talk?" I sighed.

"I already know what you want to talk about and no, I'm not leaving Forks with you." I called back through the door, "You're not going to convince me otherwise!" I heard her give a frustrated growl through the door. She was mad. Oh well. She'll get over it. I heard another knock.

"Go away, Alice!" I called through the door.

"It's Carlisle. Can I come in?" I sighed. Carlisle had to be let in. I got up, unlocked and opened the door, and stepped back to let Carlisle in.

"You can't just keep hiding up here. Alice has a point; maybe you guys should just go away for a little while. Go to Denali. Get away from this mess." He said, looking at me dead in the eyes. I decided to voice my suspicions about Jasper; I knew Carlisle would want to know. It was Bella's safety I was looking out for here. I'm sure Carlisle could understand that.

"Carlisle...the only reason I won't leave, is because I think something's up. Something is not right about this. I'm not saying this out of jealousy or anger or anything else. I sincerely think something is wrong." I was pacing. Carlisle studied me for a moment.

"I'm sure he's fine. That they're fine. If something goes wrong, Alice will know. I'll have her look into it."

Just then, Alice came into the room. She looked worried, like she'd seen something she didn't want to see. She sat down on the tan leather couch and stared off into space.

"Alice? Yoo-hoo!" I waved my hand in front of her face, "She's gone. Way gone."

I sat down next to her and concentrated. I could see everything. Two figures were running, a blonde and a brunette. The brunette was slung on the blonde's back like a backpack, her face buried into his shoulder. I recognized them now. It was Bella and Jasper. Their surroundings were a blur. Then I saw it. Phoenix Sky Harbor International Airport. Why were they in Phoenix? Jasper set Bella down.

"We're here, Bella." He said, with a grin.

"Why are we in Phoenix?" Bella looked confused. Concerned. Her mom wasn't in Phoenix anymore. Jasper knew that.

"You'll see. It's all part of the surprise. Stay here for a moment, I'll be right back." He walked into the restroom.

The vision stopped. I looked at Alice in shock.

"We have to get to Phoenix. I knew something was wrong." I was panicking. I recounted Alice's vision to Carlisle.

"Phoenix? He took her to Phoenix? Are you sure?" the doubt was apparent in Carlisle's voice. I nodded.

"Alice! Let's go!" I had to yell to get her attention. We both packed some things and loaded up the car.

What the hell were they doing in Phoenix?
