Chapter Twenty - Goodbye

As I ran through the forest my mind began to catch up with my vision, I could feel my mind freeze in my head, this couldn't be happening. Why would he do such a thing? I pulled out my phone and dialed his number desperately. I was willing him to pick up and when it stopped in the middle of a ring I held my breath. A voice came over the other end of the line, it was a different language, but thankfully one I knew. They found the phone in Rio, in a trash can. I thanked them and hung up. This was bad.

As I closed in on Bella's house I scaled the side of the house and was in Charlie's window in the blink of an eye. I could smell the wolf and I knew that he was still here. None of this mattered, I made my way down the stairs, I didn't know what to say or do, I felt blank, numb. I stood still at the bottom of the stairs.

I barely registered Jacob Black trying to escape my presence, my mind was replaying the vision over and over looking for clues. I had to find something, there had to be something that could stop this from happening. There was.

"Bella," her name came out of my mouth as a choke, I couldn't focus on her but she approached me quickly. I could feel my body shaking with the pain I was finally feeling, the pain that shook my entire core.

Bella placed her hands on either side of my face and my eyes focused a little, the fear was sparkling in her eyes. "Alice, what's wrong?"

"Edward." I whispered, it was all I could manage, my dead heart was shattering in my chest.

Bella's eyes rolled slowly into the back of her head as her body gave out from under her. Jacob Black flew forward and caught her in his arms, his eyes were dark and angry and his entire frame shook violently.

I pulled myself together, I couldn't fall apart now. I had to stop him, we had to stop him, and I had to call the family. Jacob stood glaring at me with Bella limply laid in his large arms. He body was still shaking but he seemed to be in a little more control.

"What have you done?" He spit angrily at me.

"She's fainted dog, take her to the couch."

Jacob stared at me for a moment longer before complying with my wishes. He laid her gently on the couch and leaned over her protectively. He wasn't going to let me get close. His body was still shaking and the longer he stared at me the more violent they became. A stream of profanities escaped him and I saw Bella coming to slowly under his protective stance. I breathed a sigh of relief, I needed her coherent.

"What did you do to her?" Jacob growled. I rolled my eyes and watched as Bella became more alert.

"Bella? Bella, snap out of it. We have to hurry." I said stepping forward. I was going to hold her hand.

"Stay Back," Jacob warned and I stopped where I stood. This was taking to long, Edward was getting on a plane. Jacob began shaking even harder. If the shakes became any more violent he would change and he would hurt Bella in his effort to get to me.

"Calm down, Jacob Black. You don't want to do that so close to her."

"I don't think I'll have any problem keeping my focus." His voice lost some of the anger as he glanced at Bella's body beside him.

"Alice?" Bella's voice came out quietly. "What happened?" she asked hesitantly.

"I don't know," my voice came out as a wail, I couldn't hold back my fear any longer, "What is he thinking?"

Bella pulled herself up with Jacob's arm and looked at me, concern written across her brow. I pulled out my phone and started dialing the number to Tanya's house in Denali.

Rose answered. "Yes?"

"Rose, I need to talk to Carlisle now." I said, I knew that she would still be sour about the way I spoken to her earlier but I didn't have time for all of that right now.

"Oh, Alice! Carlisle's hunting. What—?"

"Fine, as soon as he's back." I said cutting her off sharply.

"What is it? I'll track him down right away and have him call you—"

"No," I said interrupting her mid sentence. "I'll be on a plane. Look, have you heard anything from Edward?"

"Well, yes, Alice. Actually. I did talk to Edward. Just a few minutes ago." She snapped. "You and Carlisle were wrong. Edward wouldn't appreciate being lied to. He'd want the truth. He did want it. So I gave it to him. I called him. . . I called him a lot. Until he picked up. A message would have been . . . wrong."

This meant that she had spoken to Carlisle and Edward. Carlisle had agreed with me to keep this quiet until I found out what had happened. No doubt Jasper had told him what I said in the voicemail. No I'm sure that I was misjudging the situation, she wouldn't tell Edward a flat out lie, they must not know Bella's alive. Rosalie knew that I'd come here for the truth, but she'd called him anyway.

"Why?" I gasped into the phone desperately, she had no idea what she'd done. "Why would you do that Rosalie?"

"Because the sooner he gets over this, the sooner things go back to normal. It wouldn't have gotten easier with time, so why put it off? Time isn't going to change anything. Bella is dead. Edward will grieve and then he'll get over it. Better he begins now than later."

"Well, your wrong on both counts, though, Rosalie, so that would be a problem, don't you think?" I could hear the acid in my voice directed at my cold hearted sister on the other end of the line. She was possibly the most arrogant person I knew, She may as well pull Edward apart and burn him herself for the good she's done.

"Bella's still alive?" she asked her voice dripping with confusion. I couldn't believe she was so idiotic, I had told her I was coming to make sure. Why hadn't she listened.

"Yes, that's right. She's absolutely fine—"

"Fine?" Rosalie screeched into the phone. "You saw her jump off a cliff!"

"I was wrong." I admitted.

"How?" Rosalie whispered into the phone.

"It's a long story." I said coldly watching Jacob Black as he held his protective stance.

"Well, you've made quite a mess," She accused coldly. "Edward is going to be furious when he comes home."

"But you're wrong about that part, too, that's why I'm calling. . ." I said through my teeth. I was trying to keep my composure.

"Wrong about what? Edward coming home? Of course he will." She laughed at me mockingly before continuing. "What? You think he's going to pull a Romeo? Ha! Like some stupid, romantic—"

"Yes," I said cutting her off again my voice as sharp as a razor. "That's exactly what I saw."

"No. He's not that stupid. He—he must realize that—" her voice trailed off as the realization of my words sunk in. "I—I didn't mean it like that, Alice! I just wanted him to come home!"

"It's a bit late for that, Rose." I said bitterly. "Save your remorse for someone who believes it."

I flipped my phone shut not wanting to hear another vile word from her mouth.

I turned to look at Bella, this would hurt her, just as much as it hurt me and my fears were going to become a realization if we didn't do something soon. I had to get to where he was before he did something stupid, but we were running out of time.

"Alice," Bella said quickly before I could speak. "Carlisle is back, though. He called just before . . ."

Oh no, I knew what this meant. . . confirmation. "How long ago?" I asked

"Half a minute before you showed up."

"What did he say?" I was hoping I was wrong.

"I didn't talk to him." Bella said, her eyes turned to Jacob.

I followed her gaze and kept my eyes focused on him. He flinched under my scrutiny. He was still trying to protect Bella.

"He asked for Charlie, and I told him Charlie wasn't here." Jacob muttered angrily.

"Is that everything?" I asked knowing it wasn't, he wouldn't have gotten on that plane without knowing for sure. I knew him well enough to know that.

"Then he hung up on me." Jacob spit at me getting more frustrated with my interrogation. His body began to shudder again. I didn't have time for this.

"You told him Charlie was at the funeral." Bella said trying to be helpful, but it was the one thing I had been worried about, it was the one thing that would have forced him onto that plane. I was certain he called from the airport. I immediately turned my attention to Bella. "What were his exact words?"

"He said, 'He's not here," and when Carlisle asked where Charlie was, Jacob said, 'At the funeral.'"

I sank to my knees in defeat, I could hear the moan escape my lips. Edward was going to kill himself over a misunderstanding. I could feel my entire body shutting down. I felt hopeless. There had to be a way to stop him. I couldn't just sit here and do nothing.

"Tell me, Alice." Bella whispered still half concealed behind Jacob.

"That wasn't Carlisle on the phone."

"Are you calling me a liar?" Jacob snarled.

I ignored him keeping my focus on Bella only, she had to understand.

"It was Edward." The words came out in a whisper, I couldn't find my voice. "He thinks you're dead."

Bella's features relaxed and her shoulders followed suit, I was curious as to why she felt so relaxed about the situation.

"Rosalie told him I'd killed myself, didn't she?" she sighed.

"Yes." I could feel my confusion as it grew. "In her defense, she did believe it. They rely on my sight far too much for something that works so imperfectly. But for her to track him down to tell him this! Didn't she realize . . . or care . . . ?" I didn't finish my sentence, it was hard enough to think it I couldn't bare to say it aloud.

"And when Edward called here, he thought Jacob meant my funeral." Bella's fingers dug into Jacob's arm but her face looked calm.

"You're not upset." I whispered my voice had taken leave of me once again. It was beyond me and the confusion and grief I was feeling had my mind running in circles.

"Well, it's really rotten timing, but it will all get straightened out. The next time he calls, someone will tell him . . . what . . . really . . ." Bella's voice trailed off, I knew that the look on my face was the cause of it, she didn't understand. We sat for what felt like an eternity staring at one another.

"Bella," I whispered. "Edward won't call again, he believed her."

"I. Don't. Understand." Bella practically mouth, all of the air seemed to be stuck in her throat as her mouth framed the empty sounds. I knew I had to explain it.

"He's going to Italy."

All of the color drained from Bella's face as the realty washed over her, she understood, she saw, she knew. Her eyes glazed as she sat looking stunned and scared. She looked as though she was going into shock. Her lips seemed to lose their color and her body wavered gently on the spot.

"NO!" she screamed. All three of us jumped at the loud sound that had been such a contrast to the whispers we had been using. "No! No, no, no! He can't! He can't do that!"

"He made up his mind as soon as your friend confirmed that it was too late to save you." I admitted.

"But he . . . he left! He didn't want me anymore! What difference does it make now? He knew I would die sometime!"

"I don't think he ever planned to outlive you by long," I said quietly. It was past the time of keeping up this stupid facades, she had to know why he was doing this.

"How dare he!" Bella screamed standing in one of her swifter movements, Jacob stood too trying to position himself between us.

"Oh, get out of the way, Jacob!" she said, elbowing him and stepping around his trembling form.

"What do we do?" she begged as she stopped in front of me. "Can't we call him? Can Carlisle?"

I shook my head. "That was the first thing I tried. He left his phone in a trash can in Rio—someone answered it . . .," I whispered.

"You said before we had to hurry. Hurry how? Lets do it, whatever it is!" she pleaded, her eyes were open wide and pleading with me to just do what we needed to to rectify this situation. I thought about what I was about to ask her to do, we would both be risking our lives, and I knew how fragile she was. I couldn't ask her to do that.

"Bella, I—I don't think I can ask you to . . ."

"Ask me!" Bella had found her voice and she was stern.

I placed my hands on her shoulders, I flexed my fingers to keep them relaxed so I wouldn't grip to tightly, it was also to make her understand the urgency. "We may already be too late. I saw him going to the Volturi . . . and asking to die."

Bella's reaction mirrored my own, the thought was one neither of us would want to see through. I watched as the water pooled in her hers, she blinked at them desperately.

"It all depends on what they choose. I can't see that until they make a decision." I sucked in a desperate but unnecessary breath. "But if they say no, and they might—Aro is fond of Carlisle, and wouldn't want to offend him—Edward has a backup plan. They're very protective of their city. If Edward does something to upset the peace, he thinks they'll act to stop him. And he's right. They will."

Bella's jaw was rigid as she stood listening to me, the impatience we were feeling ran through us both. I had to make sure it was her decision though, she had to know the consequences if this didn't work.

"So if they agree to grant his favor, we're too late. If they say no, and he comes up with a plan to offend them quickly enough, we're too late. If he gives into his more theatrical tenancies . . . we might have time."

"Let's go!"

"Listen, Bella! Whether we are in time or not, we will be in the heart of the Volturi city. I will be considered an accomplice if he is successful. You will be a human who not only knows too much, but also smells too good. There's a very good chance that they will eliminate us all—though in your case it won't be punishment so much as dinnertime."

"This is what's keeping us here?" Bella asked solicitously. "I'll go alone if you're afraid."

"I'm only afraid of getting you killed." I answered honestly.

Bella snorted in disgust. "I almost get myself killed on a daily basis! Tell me what I need to do!"

"You write a note to Charlie. I'll call the airlines." I said knowing we didn't have anymore time. I knew she had made up her mind and she wouldn't be budged.

"Charlie," Bella gasped as I flipped open my phone and dialed the number to the airline.

"I'm not going to let anything happen to Charlie," Jacob said angrily. "Screw the treaty."

"Hurry, Bella." I said and watched them both disappear into the kitchen. A woman answered the phone and I had her get me two tickets first class on the fastest Route to Florence, Italy. She clicked away on her keyboard as I dashed around finding the things I needed. She rattled off a couple of times to me and I closed my eyes and concentrated on the earliest one. We would make it but it would be close. We had no time to waste. I thanked the woman and hung up, our tickets would be waiting for us.

I once again threw everything into a bag and left the room. I slung my bag over my shoulder. Bella appeared with Jacob at her shoulder.

"Get your wallet—you need ID. Please tell me you have a passport. I don't have time to forge one."

Bella nodded and headed up the stairs. I stood and stared at Jacob as he glared back at me. I headed towards the door and opened it wide.

"Italy, you're taking her to Italy. To save him. Do you have any idea what he did to her?" Jacob said quietly under his breath.

"Not that it's any of your business dog, but this was her choice to make."

"He broke her in every way that is possible. And here you are just putting her right back in the same situation."

"She's safe with me and my family, Edward loves her, he was trying to do something honorable."

"Really, is that why you're dragging her off to a certain death."

"What's that supposed to mean."

"You might control yourselves on occasion, but these leeches you're taking her to—" Jacob accusatory tone got under my skin. His smell wasn't doing much to help matters either.

"Yes. You're right, dog," The words came out as a snarl. "The Volturi are the very essence of our kind—they're the reason your hair stands on end when you smell me. They are the substance of your nightmares, the dread behind your instincts. I'm not unaware of that."

"And you take her to them like a bottle of wine for a party!" Jacob was shouting now.

"You think she'd be better off if I left her here alone, with Victoria stalking her?"

"We can handle the redhead."

"Then why is she still hunting?" I threw back at him.

Jacob growled and a shudder ran through him as his anger began to peak.

"Stop that!" Bella shouted, I hadn't even noticed her arrival. "Argue when we get back, let's go!"

I turned to the car and ran towards it. We had to move now if we were going to make our flight. I started the car and waited. I watched Bella as she spoke to the dog. He looked upset, we didn't have time for this so I revved the engine. Bella hugged him quickly and the stepped away and headed towards the car. I threw the passenger door open for her. She threw her backpack over the seat and climbed in next to me. Her tear stained face turned to the window as she rolled it down.

"Take care of Charlie!" she called into the empty night.

I slammed my foot hard on the gas pedal and we took off, wheels spinning in my haste.
