The wind blew furiously, and the sun peeped out through the thick, grey clouds. The water below churned and crashed against the side of a rocky cliff.
At the top of the cliff stood a girl. Dark shadows circled her deep brown eyes, and she looked like she was plagues by nightmares. Her body wasn't overly thin, yet she looked frail. Her eye's had a strange gleam of anticipation.
The girl slowly pulled off her jacket. Then, she walked forward, one step then two, her toes feeling the edge of the rock face. Her eyes were closed. She let out a breath and smiled.
"Yes?" she said, replying to a question asked from no one. Tiny rain spatters fell from the heavens. Thunder clapped in the distance and lightning struck the horizon.
"You wanted me to be human. Well, watch me," said the girl. Was she delusional? She seemed to talk to someone, but who? She dangled her foot slightly over the edge again, and then pulled it back abruptly.
She shook her head. "You won't stay with me any other way." The rain fell heavily now, the girls hair was plastered to her face and her clothes clung to her small frame. The clouds now looked almost black. But the girl noticed nothing.
Her smile widened. She rolled up onto the balls of her feet, raised her hands above her head, and jumped.
The young girl plummeted towards the water and her untimely death. Her scream echoed as the vision faded to black...
"Noooooo!" screamed Alice, jerking back to reality, gasping from the horror she'd just witnessed.
That was it, Bella was dead. The bad feeling that had been with her was this, the death of her friend. She pulled her legs up to her chin and sobbed. And sobbed. And sobbed.
Alice felt numb. The past few letters had made her think Bella was getting better, healing. They had made her think Bella was happy. What happened?
Anger welled up inside her; Jacob Black. He was the last thing to cause Bella pain, that stupid, moronic dog! Alice enjoyed thinking of ways to cause pain to him...
But Alice couldn't think that way for long. Bella wouldn't have been with Jacob if they hadn't left. Bella wouldn't have needed anyone else. Bella wouldn't have died.
She had to do something. Anything, Alice thought.
And then it struck her; Charlie. He'd be all alone in that house. She'd have to be there for him. They'd grieve together.
Alice raced to the kitchen and scribbled a not to Jasper;
Jazz,
Bella's dead. Jumped off a cliff. I've gone down to see Charlie, he needs someone. Don't follow, I'll be back soon. Please tell the others.
I love you,
Alice
Alice left the note on the couch and grabbed the keys.

Jasper arrived back at the house not 10 minutes after Alice had driven away. "Sorry we took so long honey, Kate decided to... Alice?" He couldn't find her. Then he saw the note on the couch and his face fell.
"What is it?," Kate asked. "Where is she?"
"With Bella's dad. She's dead." Tanya gasped and Kate bowed her head. "Alice had a vision of her jumping off a cliff."
Jasper sat down and out his head in his hands to think. Bella's gone. Alice's gone back. She said not to find her... I have to do something!
He stood up again a minute later. "I'm very sorry about this, I'm going to have to leave."
Tanya nodded gravely. "We understand, of course."
Jasper headed out the door and broke into a run. It was time to tell the family.
***
"NO!" Esme sinking into the couch her eyes looking as though tears could fall. "This can't be true!" She looked up to Carlisle, almost pleadingly, as though he could tell her that everything was alright.
He couldn't. Instead he wrapped his arms around his as she began to sob.
"Shit," said Emmett, sitting on the foot of the stairs. "Shit, I – I thought it was getting better." He couldn't believe it. No one could believe it.
In amongst the shock and sorrow, Rosalie was unnoticed as she slipped out the back door
***
"Edward? It's Rosalie." Rosalie stood in the forest, far enough away from the house that no one could hear her as she talked into the phone held to her ear.
Edward was slow to respond. "Hello," he said flatly.
"There's been some news here." She took a deep breath. "It's about... Bella."
Rosalie heard Edwards breathing stop. "I told Alice not to watch out for her," he said slowly and stonily.
"I know you did Edward but... it's just... Edward she's dead."
The silence that followed seemed to last a lifetime. "W-what do you mean she's dead? She's not dead. She's fine. She's fine and she's living. She's living with Charlie and Renee and Angela and Mike-"
"Alice saw her jump Edward. She jumped off the cliff at La Push." Rosalie felt so much pain for her brother then. But it was okay, he'd get over her now, then they could get back to normal.
"She's dead?" he asked finally.
"Yes, Edward. I'm so sorry but-" the line cut off. Rosalie snapped her phone shut.
He'd get over it. He'd get over it, and he'd come back, and everything would be fine again...
So she thought.
