5.
We were running from my old house, I was still dazed. They missed me, but they were getting on with their lives. I missed them as well, but I could never be with them anymore. This saddened me, but I couldn't be sad long now that Jasper was around making me feel happy every time I felt even the slightest bit unhappy.
Plus, I had an excitable pixie jumping around me, obviously planning something.
"Ooh, I can see it now. Can we have the party with the rest of the Cullen's?" This question broke my thoughts. Alice giggled as Edward chuckled, they already sounded like evil twins. Edward chuckled louder. "That got his attention. So, what do you think Edward?" They had the same evil grin on their faces, it reminded me of Nancy and Joan when they'd be up to some evil plan.
"Do you two mind, you're freaking Emmett with those grins." Jasper chuckled lightly. The Evil Twins turned to me and smiled sweetly, too sweetly.
"Don't worry Emmett, everything will be fine." Alice danced to me and threw her tiny arms around me, mine rounded her easily.
"Okay, but I don't fully trust you with whatever you two are planning." She giggled and ran grabbing Edward's hand on the way past him and dragging him with her. Jasper chuckled and patted me on the shoulder.
"Come on, let's keep up with them." We started running. "You'll learn to love her, even the scheming she does." I glared at him.
"Scheming?" I seemed to be filled with calm.
"It's just Alice, she schemes or shops when something's bugging her. You know she didn't see us meeting you here."
"Really?" He nodded.
"She also saw you with Rosalie, who was supposed to save you from that bear."
"Rosalie was supposed to save me?" He nodded again.
"Apparently, to Alice's vision, Rosalie was hunting and she saw you fighting the bear and saves you by carrying you hundreds of miles to Carlisle where he changes you. But, none of that happened. So you haven't met Rosalie, so she's trying to get you two to meet."
"Why is mine and Rosalie's meeting so important?"
"Because in Alice's vision when myself and Alice meet the Cullen's, you and Rosalie are mates." I gawked at him.
"Mates?" That was all that would come out of my mouth.
"Meant for each other, soulmates." I was speechless. Jasper silenced, leaving me alone with my thoughts.
Soulmates. How could I be soulmates with someone I don't even know? How can that even be possible? Damn psychic and empath leaving me with this bombshell.
We had been running for half an hour, my thoughts still on Rosalie being my soulmate, when we stopped. I stared at a house, which looked haunted.
"What the hell?" I blurted.
There a tiny amount of slates on the roof, the door was hanging off one hinge; the windows were grimy and had cobwebs clinging to the frames and the paintwork was peeling off the walls. What kind of person would live here?
"A vampire." Edward answered my thought with snarl. "A nomad." Excuse me?
"A vampire that drinks human blood." But he had golden eyes. I remembered his face.
"Hmmm." I can't stand this.
"Simon" I shouted as Edward snapped, "No."
Edward growled, filling me with fear that Jasper tried to replace with calm but it wasn't working since Jasper felt afraid as well. Jasper grabbed Alice and put her behind him. Edward crouched and watching him I felt the need to. But all these fears and sights disappeared when he stood in the doorway.
Simon, as glorious as ever, stood there with red eyes. These red eyes fell on me and a sickly smile crawled across his face.
"Emmett. How nice to see you again. I see you're sticking to animals recently, your eyes are fading. How joyful." The sarcasm dipping off his every word was like a stab in the back.
"Simon? How? Why?" Even his laugh was callous.
"Poor delusional Emmett. Never expected this, did you?" His words were taunting me. "You've been my target for a while. I hoped you would have a gift and would join my forces. But, you had no such gift. But you're strength was amazing, watching you kill that girl was like watching a graceful bear!" He laughed another callous laugh as the memory of the emerald eyed girl filled my mind.
"Shut up." I whispered, I could feel the anger behind them. Simon cocked one eyebrow at me.
"Ooh, the memory of killing to painful? Well, you deserve to be one of them." Edward growled, still crouched. "Vampires are KILLERS!" He screamed the words as if they were a prayer. "We are designed to kill humans and you lot turn from that. You are a disgrace to the vampire name. You are WEAK! And, I don't have time for the weak." A growl rumbled in my chest.
"We are not weak; we are stronger than you, for resisting the temptation of human blood. None of us want to be murderers."
"Well Emmett, all of you might as well rip yourselves apart and I'll burn the pieces. Because no matter how much you stay away from human blood, you are all murderers." I snapped and ran at him.
"No!" Edward, Jasper and Alice cried. I grabbed his shirt and pulled him right into my face.
"We were young when we killed innocent humans, and we are terribly horrified for it. But I will become your murderer and not regret it." I growled at him, to no effect. He simply smiled that sickly smile at me.
"You will regret it, because if you kill me a certain little human girlfriend will die." The shock of his words I let go of him as if burnt.
"No..." I whispered.
"Oh, you still care for her. Stupid mistake vampire!" He shrieked as he ran away.
"No!" I growled and chased after him, ignoring the calls of the others.
Abby. I can't let him kill her.
"Emmett!" I could hear Edward chasing after me. "Emmett! It's a trick!" I stopped dead. Edward caught up. "He's tricking you; he's not going to Abby. He doesn't know where she is. But, if you go to her, he'll find her."
The burning in my throat had me biting my lip, but once again I was shocked that no tears were shed.
"Abby...." My voice broke. A painful image of her beautiful sapphire eyes dulling flashed in my mind. I wanted to punch through my skull and rip that image out. Don't you see?
"Of course I do. That's why you can't jump unknowingly into this." I nodded ignoring the waves of calm Jasper was washing over me; I wanted the despair and worry.
"Come on Emmett." Jasper begged, I didn't even noticed as he put his hand on my shoulder and instantly became calm. I sighed. But Jasper's calm became worry when Alice and Edward gave a shriek.
"Alice what do you see?" Jasper was by her side in a flash. In the same dead tone Edward and Alice spoke, and what they said made my stone heart sink.
"The human girl is killed by Emmett, it's an accident, he tries to save her from Simon and he kills her. But also, I see Simon turning her into a vampire and she turns against Emmett."
"So basically, all bad there?" I just wanted to curl up under a rock and die.
"No. Alice's visions can change. We can change them." Jasper said, his determination made me feel a little better. "How does she die?" Once again Alice and Edward spoke.
"Simon follows Emmett, he runs off on his own to save her." Jasper gave me a look of don't even begin to think about it. "Emmett scares the girl and she runs away from him but Emmett doesn't give up he follows her and he finds her being held by Simon. Emmett fights Simon but she gets in the middle and he kills her. The other vision, Emmett doesn't follow her so Simon changes her hoping it will enrage Emmett, which it does, and Emmett fights against Simon and the girl." Then they both blinked and focused on me.
"What where you going to do?" Alice's tone was like the look she gave me, harsh yet calm.
"I wasn't sure; I just knew I had to do something." Her face softened.
"Well, that explains the two visions. But why didn't I see us three? Where were we?" Edward shook his head and all their faces saddened.
A sudden squeak from Alice and a giant grin on Edward's face perked everyone up.
"The Cullen's!" She shrieked. "We're going to meet Carlisle, Esme and Rosalie!" She ran to me and squeezed me.
