Alice's POV
I dial the number and wait for (hopefully) Carlisle to answer. It rings twice.
"Hello?"
"Carlisle?" I breathed in relief.
"Alice! Where are you? Are you okay?"
I grimaced. I forgot to call or contact them that we would be away for a year or two. Unless the future changed and something happened with Edward- which there is a 50/50 chance.
"Yes, were fine. But we are planning on taking a honeymoon trip around Asia for a couple years. We haven't had time alone for decades."
"Now, though? Were already missing two members of our family, do you have to add another two?"
"Well..." I start searching the future for which lie would work best. "I had a vision... and someone really needs us, but it'll take a couple years to find them..."
"Oh, you will be back after though? Correct?"
"We should be."
"What do you mean by should? Alice?"
"Umm.." Is my clever response. I couldn't tell him that Bella has a 80% chance of slipping up in a couple years while hunting.
"Well.." I could speak the truth, as long it was not the whole one.
"There is a chance of someone having a slip-up, which kind of.."
"Oh... but you will be back eventually, right?"
Finally, here's a question I can answer "Yes."
"I'll let you be, then."
"Wait! Carlisle, when Rosalie and Emmet get back from hunting, tell them it was the latter of the options they were discussing at 3:15. Though it didn't involve Edward." I had to give them a part of the truth, no matter how small that part is. Maybe I should have left out the time...
"How did you know the time? They didn't have a watch or-" Of course. Oh, well...
"I really got to go, Carlisle, bye!" I said as I hung up. Sighing, I take a minute to search the future, and gasp when I see it.
I'm alive! I have no excuse for not updating in almost 2 months! I'm so sorry! If you haven't checked out the first three chapters I did do some editing, but I am going to re-write this story when it's finished, if you want to wait until then... Anyway, I promise to be better at updating this time round! Sorry again!
