Chapter 7

Alice POV

Bella was in trouble, I could see it. Anyone could see it and they didn't have to have superpowers to see it either. The way my brother left her she was an emotional wreck, we all were. No matter how many times we told ourselves she would be better without us the sadder we got. It was amazing how one human could integrate herself into our lives and no matter what happened she would be always be regarded as a member of the family. She didn't see the changes that occurred to Edward. He went from just going day-by-day to having a purpose.

Since we left Forks over a year ago I had taken to looking at Bella's future, just to make sure she was ok. She wasn't. I felt depressed just looking at her future and then I had to keep my thoughts to myself because of Edward. The best time was when he was away, not that that was a great time because it felt like the family had been torn into two but didn't have to be so conscious of my thoughts.

As the months passed I grew more concerned about the well-being of Bella. My visions started going black. There were periods of time where there was nothing but blackness. The first time I thought that she had died or something (thank goodness Edward was off on one of his 'trips' when this happened). I spoke to Carlisle about what had happened but he had no explanation and then a few hours later she was back. It wasn't until we got back to Fork's that I found out she was spending a lot of time with the wolves and that was the reason why I couldn't see her.

It was my idea to go to Alaska via Forks, I knew something was going to happen, but I just didn't know what. It was all black and blurry, with flashes of red. Bella didn't know what was going to happen yet and her attacker didn't know anything yet either. It was all rather frustrating.

The night we first saw Bella I was planning what to say when she arrived in her truck after arguing with Charlie so there was a moment of excitement when we heard her loud truck heading down our secluded road. Then silence. It was rather scary and the others looked at me so I looked in her future and sighed a huge sigh of relief when I saw she was just sleeping.

"She's asleep in her truck" I announced smiling, "let's go get her!" The others looked at me unsure whether we should go or not. "Don't worry, she'll be mad at us for a while, some yelling and all that but then she gets over it and all is well. But don't say Edward's name, she doesn't say it anymore and we don't want her going catatonic on us or anything."

The others nodded and we headed off down the road. Esme held back still unsure what to do. I turned to her, "its ok," I reassured her, "nothing will happen."

She looked at me with her mothering gaze and then went back to her concerned face, "as much as I love Bella, Edward asked us not to."

"He'll get over it and one day he'll thank us" I said, "but maybe you want to wait for us at the house?" I suggested, knowing already that she was going to go back. She nodded and turned back.

I caught up the others, Jasper and Carlisle as they got to Bella's truck. There she was slumped against the steering wheel, in terrible looking clothes, sleeping. "See?" I said to the others, "No problem."

But Carlisle disagreed with me; his medical training kicked in and determined that she was in fact unconscious, opps on my behalf. Carlisle tried to wake her up, but nothing, he tried again and there was a groan.

"It's alive." I said rather dramatically, Jasper smirked and Carlisle turned to me and glared, well at least someone thought it was funny.

"Bella," Carlisle said all serious and doctor like, "can you open your eyes?"

She shook her head. "Bella, please" I said as Carlisle placed his hand on the bump that was on her head.

"Oww" she said sleepily, "that hurts."

I stifled a laugh as Jasper piped up "Bella, wake up so we can take you up to the house." Then she opened her eyes, I was waiting for the scream but…nothing. It was all rather anti-climatic. Carlisle lifted her out the truck and we all headed back to the house.

Carlisle treated her and then she got mad, like I told them she would. Then the interesting part came, turned out she knew about the wolves, and then that explained why I couldn't see her at certain times. After that interesting discovery I saw one pissed off Charlie. So Bella had run off without telling her father where she was going. I asked Bella about Charlie and then she said she forgot. I lifted her up off the couch and ran back to her truck.

I drover her home, cursing the truck all the way back to her house. It wasn't fast enough. She should have let Edward buy her a new one. I pulled up in front of her house, gave her a quick kiss and then ran into the forest.

I got back to the house and they were all waiting for me, and they didn't look happy. "Ok Alice," Carlisle started, "its time you told us what's going on here."

I sighed, I had managed to keep the whole Bella being attacked by something red and blurry a secret till now but I guess like all good secrets the truth always comes out in the end. "Something is going to happen to Bella tomorrow and if we aren't there to help who knows what…" I broke off.

Carlisle looked thoughtful as Esme nodded understandingly, "Of course we have to help Bella out, the last thing I want is her getting hurt" she shuddered, "or worse."

Jasper felt guilty about what had happened at her birthday party so he was all for helping her out. Carlisle wanted more information about what was going to happen but as I told him nothing was set in concrete as the red blur didn't know it was going met Bella and Bella didn't know she was going to get mad at me…yet.

Jasper and I decided to go and hunt, well Jasper wanted to hunt, I was more interested in the possibility of maybe seeing the red blur. It was once we were done hunting that I decided to call Edward. He had the right to know that Bella was in trouble. He might decide to come and save her and then they would get back together again and we could continue to live in Forks and everything would go back to the way it should be, I thought dreamily.

Once Jasper was in the house I pulled out my small black phone out of my pocket and hit speed dial one. An exhausted Edward answered on the third ring.

"Hello Alice" he said.

"Hey Bro, how's things?" I asked trying to get a laugh out of him, it worked, kind of.

He gave a light laugh and then asked me what I wanted. "Well brother o' mine we are in Forks, as you know," he inhaled loudly, "and I have seen Bella…" he cut me off.

"Alice" he growled, "I told you to leave her alone! Let her live her life!"

"Edward she came to us, you see she has become friends with the wolves…" this would get him more mad but he was just so fun to bait I couldn't help myself.

"She did what? I told her to be safe, is she brain dead or something?" he yelled so loudly I had to hold the phone away from my ear and the rest of the family heard as well as they all congregated on the front porch.

"Edward this is the love of your life we are talking about here" I reminded him, "and anyway I called for a reason, and it is about Bella and I don't care what you decide to do but you have a right to know. Bella is in trouble."

"Well if she's spending time with wolves I'm honestly not surprised."

"It's worse than that Edward Cullen" I said, "tomorrow morning she could die." There I said it, he knew, "do whatever your conscious tells you, but we are all going to try and save her."

I waited for a response but all I got was silence, he had hung up on me. It would have pissed me off about six months ago but I was so used to this with him now it was the normal way or conversations ended now.

Well tomorrow it happened. I would learn what the red blur is, but that wasn't my real concern, would Edward come to save Bella?

A/N: So that was a bit of pointless chapter but I needed to get Edward into the story somehow. The next chapter has already been written but I am giving you the choice of who will save Bella, (no I'm going to kill her like I mentioned last chapter, sorry about that) so Edward or Jacob…let me know and your wish will be my command…
