Chapter 10

Alice now sat on the couch so she was face to face with Helena and the two had been talking, Alice had been trying to open up as much as she could without giving too much of herself and her families true nature away and it was proving to be difficult and confusing for the both of them.

"So you're telling me that you can't really tell me exactly what's going with you because of some kind of danger that you also can't talk about. But that It might be ok if I can figure it out myself, but you can't really give me any clues?" surmised Helena, trying to make it sound less confusing then it was, And failing. "Basically yeah" Admitted Alice "Trust me if I could tell you everything I would. And it's frustrating and heartbreaking that I cannot. But you are smart Helena, All you really have to do is pay attention and I have no doubt that you will be able to put it all together" Helena's brow furrowed in slight annoyance, she understood that being different was hard and that you had to be careful about who you trusted but damn it if Alice couldn't tell her what was going on than how was she supposed to trust Alice to confide in her about her powers and being Meta Human as well as everything else that happened over the last year.

Seeing Helena's frustration clearly painted all over her face she stood up and paced around the room a few times. Maybe I can't tell her I'm a vampire or hint to the fact that I am. But maybe there is something I can tell her without giving the big one away "Damn it!" Alice said out loud "I just wish I could see clearly enough to know! It's all so blurred and patchy it's not helping at all!"

Helena rose from the couch and stood directly in Alice's path of pacing, reaching out and grabbing her before she ran into her "What's blurry? What can't you see properly? Your being even more cryptic than you were before" Alice closed her eyes for a second searching the future for any hint that what she was about to tell Helena would be ok, but again all she could get were a few snippets of blurred images and sounds and then a solid vision of her family freaking out at her for revealing so much.

"How could you be so irresponsible?" Edward scolded

"That was really dumb Alice" Rosalie would add before Edward cut her off for some more scolding

"We are already walking a tight rope with the Volturi because of Bella"

"And whose fault is that" Alice snapped back at him.

"Yours!" shouted Edward "you are the one who took her to Volterra"

"And YOU are the one who was planning to expose all of us for a dramatic attempt at suicide. You have no right to judge me for the decision that I made then to save you or for the decisions I am making for myself now. If not for YOUR reckless selfishness we would still be flying under the Volturi's radar and I don't believe that Helena's and my involvement with each other will cause any extra issues for our family other than the ones we already have".

Coming out of her vision Alice realised that she had already made the decision to tell Helena that she was a future seer so now all she had to do was follow through and it brought her a measure of comfort knowing that in the vision she was referring to herself and Helena as a couple, so things mustn't go too badly.

"I'm sorry Helena, let me explain everything I can" She led Helena back over to the couch and told her about the visions that she has been receiving for as long as she could remember.

"So you can see the future?" Helena asked. Alice nodded her head "Well if you can see the future how come you didn't see this coming? You said something about it being messed up?" Alice again nodded before replying "I'm not sure, it's never been like this. I have always had very clear cut visions, if a decision was made I'd know exactly what the outcome would be, until someone changed their mind and then I'd know what the new outcome would be. But when it comes to you it's all so patchy and hard to see, I get small segments out of context or blurred stills with fragmented speech and the harder I try to bring it in to focus the worse it gets"

"So maybe you should stop trying, let it flow naturally y'know. Obviously forcing it isn't working."

Alice had come to the same conclusion but was still quite surprised that not only had Helena thought the same thing but seemed to be taking the news of her visions so well, it just further proved what Alice had suspected from earlier, Helena was not your average human.

"Yeah I've been thinking the same thing. Maybe the more time we spend together getting to know each other the clearer things will become" Helena immediately got the double meaning behind Alice's words and added with a wink "Here's hoping".

"Right" Said Alice, maybe a little loudly as Helena gave a little jump at the word "I have spilled as much as I am able at the moment. So your turn?".

Where do I even begin? Thought Helena Lets start at the very beginning, a very good place to start. When you read you begin with ABC when you sing you begin with doh, ray mi.Oh god brain shut up! DOH, RAY, MI. The first three words just happen to be! Ahrrrrrg

"Helena?" Alice questioned

"Huh?" Helena replied

"You zoned out there a little bit" said Alice "I thought that was my speciality".

"Oh sorry, I kinda brain farted. I'm back now". Alice cracked up laughing at that "brain farted?"

"Yeah you know random line of unrelated thought triggered by the original thought, then you just kinda get stuck in it. Brain fart" Alice, still laughing nodded and gestured for her to stop talking for a minute so she could get herself under control. "Ok, so brain farting aside. If you arnt comfortable sharing I understand, but I just want you to know that you can trust me and believe me there is very little that yHelenajou could say that would shock me".

"Ok" said Helena "I'm not sure if I can tell you everything yet, a lot of this is still new to me but I will do the best I can" Alice nodded in understanding, after all she couldn't expect Helena to reveal everything, when she herself couldn't extend that courtesy. "So let's start at the beginning shall we?"
