Chapter Eighteen

Girl Talk

I didn't think it was possible for Alice to become any paler than she already was. Her normally pink lips looked almost blue, like you would if you had been in the water for too long.

My attention left Alice and turned to Edward. They were obviously having a silent conversation. I was sure the others could hear by the way their gaze shifted back and forth between Edward and me.

"Edward," Rosalie piped up. "Perhaps you should go on a hunt with Emmett and Jasper? None of you had fed in a while and I'd like to talk to Bella."

Edward looked reluctant to go but he stood anyway, pressing his soft, cold lips to my forehead before letting me go. "I'll do whatever it takes to make you safe again," he whispered before leaving the room. Jasper and Emmett followed while Rosalie and Alice approached the couch. They sat down.

"It's going to happen all over again," I whispered. I pressed the palms of my hands to my eyes in order to keep the tears at bay. Two cold hands wrapped around my wrists and gently pulled my hands away from my eyes.

Topaz orbs stared at me. They were filled with such emotion, something I had never seen before in Rosalie Hale.

"Bella," she said, staring rather intently at me. "It will be alright. You two are meant for each other. No matter what any vision says."

I sat up, running a hand through my extremely tangled hair. Alice moved off the arm of the couch and sat beside me. Her arms wrapped around me and pulled me into a tight hug. "What was your memory about?"

"It was the year 1801. I remember because I received a letter. Edward was away at war and I was very pregnant. The letter was from Prince Frederick. He was informing me that Edward had died at war, that aide would be given to me and my unborn child. Then of course Edward woke me up but it didn't stop. I had lost my baby, my Anya… and I couldn't bare the thought of being without my husband and my child. Much like Esme… I jumped off a cliff but I didn't have anyone to save me. I killed myself."

"Oh, Bella," Rosalie sighed. She reached over and ran a hand through my hair, playing with it in hopes of relaxing me. It was hard to understand why Rosalie was being so nice to me. She seemed truly concerned. Alice and Rosalie both did.

"It really will all end in death. 1801, Edward and I both died. 1918, Edward became a vampire and I died of the Spanish Influenza. 2060, I died of cancer. We'll never be together."

I wasn't expecting what happened next.

Alice's cold hand collided with my face in a slap though I knew it wasn't her true strength. My hand instinctively went up to my sore face and I looked at Alice. She was glaring at me. "Stop thinking like that!" she hissed. "If you keep thinking that way, it will only happen, Bella."

"Alice is right," Rosalie said. Now it was her turn to move off the arm of the couch, sitting right next to me. "You can't keep doubting yourself. More importantly you can't keep doubting Edward. You two love each other."

"And I still see you becoming a vampire."

I nodded and sighed, placing my head into my hands. They were right. I was doubting everyone important to me. I didn't act this way before. I had trusted my relationship with Edward and the other Cullens. But back then, I wasn't seeing the past. Nightmares didn't plague my sleep. Yet because of everything that was happening, I was falling for Edward all over again. And this time my feelings were ten times stronger than they used to be. Our connection was deeper this time around.

"Alice?" Rosalie's frightened voice brought me out of my thoughts and I glanced up at the spiky haired vampire. Her topaz eyes were void of any emotion. She was just staying straight at the wall in front of her. Rosalie stood and approached her sister, kneeling down in front of her. She placed her hands on Alice's shoulders and began to roughly shake her back and forth. Nothing seemed to be working. Alice remained in her trance.

My heart sped up in my chest. Rosalie turned from Alice and looked at me. "It's alright, Bella," she reassured me. "You'll be okay. We'll protect you."

"Like you protected me from James? Or the Volturi?" I growled and I immediately regretted my words. They had tried to protect me and for the most part they did… "Rosalie, I'm –"

"Don't worry about it. I do understand, Bella. You're still feeling a lot of hurt from your past lives. We should have protected you better. Me especially." She shook her head. "I made everything difficult for everyone, especially you. I never gave you a chance but I want that to all change now. I want Edward to be happy and I want you as my sister."

I opened my mouth to speak but Alice's pale hand reached out and was gripping Rosalie's should tightly, making her hand even paler. "Alice?" I questioned.

"He's coming," a raspy voice came from Alice. "He's coming and he wants Bella."

Rosalie turned back to Alice and ran a hand along Alice's face in an attempt to soothe her. "How long?"

"A week," she replied. Her voice was returning to its normal bell-like tone. "Maybe a week and a half. I don't think he knows that this family has three talents."

"Should we change her?"

"Not enough time." Alice abruptly stood and began to scurry around the room, pulling out bags before stuffing clothes in them. "He's coming from the South. Mexico City to be exact. A week is enough time to get Bella to safety."

I groaned and leaned back, resting my head on the back of the leather couch. "Not again."

"There's nothing to do but run," Alice told me, throwing a filled book bag to the ground. "Rosalie, I need you to call Carlisle and Esme. I'll get a hold of the boys." Rosalie nodded before exiting Edward's room. Alice quickly pulled out her cell phone and placed it between her ear and shoulder. "Edward! I had a vision… Calm down, alright? …Don't talk to me like that!" I stared wide eyed at Alice. Her tone was full of viciousness. "I'm packing your clothes and Rose is calling Carlisle and Esme. After we're done… Will you let me speak!? …Thank you. After we're done here, we're going to go to Bella's. We're going to pack her clothes. We won't let Charlie know. It's best if he thinks she's missing… I don't know where we'll go. Probably Europe. We have at least a week to get there… Rosalie already brought that up, Edward. There's not enough time to change her. She'd go through the change but she couldn't fight. The newborn in her would still be… Stop interrupting me! …Ugh! Be home in an hour!"

Alice was fuming when she hung up her phone. I watched her fist tighten around it, crushing it in her hand.

"Carlisle and Esme are on their way home from Seattle," Rosalie said when she entered the room then she let out a groan. "Carlisle told you not to destroy another cell phone, Alice!"

Alice rolled her eyes. "We have the money. I'll get a new one. Got your keys, Rose?" Rosalie nodded. "Good. We're taking the BMW."
