Once the crowd surrounding us has quieted down we walk hand in hand past the stalls in the carnival grounds, deliberating which ones are worth my measly two pounds.

"Oh, how about that one?" asks Kate as she points towards a stall with a big sign advertising for Madame Alice – The All Knowing Psychic!

"Sure, why not? I wonder if she knows anything that we don't already know?" I say jokingly. We enter through a deep, purple curtain and stand in the dark, waiting for the All Knowing Madame. Fumes of different incenses reach our nostrils and I begin to walk forward, further into the tepee to search for this Madame. In the dark, I can see a faint shadow of a person, growing larger and larger and I scream as her cold hands touch my cheek.

"Ah, the copper haired man has finally arrived! I have been waiting for you," says Madame Alice. Her short black hair and unkempt appearance casts a strange uneasiness in the atmosphere of her tepee. She leads Bella and I towards a small card table, adorned with silk covers and a crystal ball. Madame Alice sits behind the crystal ball and gestures for Bella and I to sit in the two seats opposite her.

"So, what do you know?" I ask, not expecting any valid answer.

"Ah, I See a lot about both of you already, my dear children," Madame Alice responds.

"Really?" Bella leans forward eagerly, enthusiastic to learn about her future.

"Edward and Isabella," begins the psychic. "You both are lucky to have found your destined one early but I am afraid that it is written that one of you will die. The fates have decided and according to the constellations it is irreversible. You are lucky that you have come to me now. Perhaps, you will be able to protects yourselves and change your destiny."

Madame Alice begins to caress her crystal ball and peers into the orb. She mutters in another language under her breath and continues to rub the glass. I laugh under my breath, what a fraud. I'll bet my mother's life that she can't see anything in that oversized, glass marble.

"Ah, I am Seeing something, the Inner Eye is Seeing. Oh, it is coming, it is coming. It's a man, a tall, pale man with blonde hair. His name Jam, Jame, Jamie….."

"Who is it?" asks Bella excitedly, her eyes shining eerily in the darkness of the tepee.

"Ah, Isabella, the Inner Eye does not See upon command! And I See a woman, slender and tall with blonde hair. Her name it is, Gwen Eli, Quentin Eli Beth, Quentin Eliza Beth….Hmm….interesting, interesting, and with an axe as well!" whispers Madame Alice.

Quentin Eliza Beth, could that possibly be Queen Elizabeth?

"Queen Elizabeth and James?" I suggest nervously. All doubts about the psychics experience had completely vanished by now.

"Ah, yes, Edward that is it! How do you know? Are you gifted with Sight?" asks Madame excitedly.

"No," I say quickly, dismissing the claim. "It's just, that's my mother and her lover!"

Madame Alice's eyes widen as she gasps loudly.

"My dear," she says loudly as she runs to Bella and puts her hand on Bella's cheeks, "you are in grave danger! They have a plot, to murder you on a cloudy night, when the moon in unable to seen! James will, he will come with an axe and strike at the stroke of midnight!"

Bella's face freezes.

"No!" I scream. "Change it woman! Change it! See with your Inner Eye and beseech the gods and your crazy stars to change this! Bella won't, she can't, we're to be married, NO NO NO!"

"I am sorry," says Madame Alice, "but I think it would be best if you would leave now. I wish you luck."

She pulls a necklace with a green eyed charm out of her pocket and hands it to Bella. "It is an amulet," she explains. "I hope it protects you".

Bella slips it over her neck and squeezes my hand as we walk out into the brightness of the afternoon sun.

"I'm scared," whispers Bella..

I pull her into the crook of my arm. "I promise I will protect you from my mother and James."

"I don't want to go back," murmurs Bella. "I want to stay with you".

"It will be organized," I swear. "You will stay with me tonight in my room and I will have extra guards protecting the door and more around the bed".

Bella nods. "I love you, no matter what your mother has planned for me".

"And I love you, forever and after that," I pledge.
