Chapter 8: What Have We Done?
Alice POV:
I miss her. I miss her like hell and it's tearing me apart. Jasper can't even be in the same room with me anymore from the pain that emits from me. I can't take this anymore, I have to see her.
"Alice no." Fuck I forgot Edward was next to me.
"Edward you wanted to leave! I didn't choose this!" Esme put her hand on my shoulder to calm me. "There is something calling me to her. Like she needs me or something!" Edward rolled his eyes.
"What she needs is a vampire free life. And how would you know anyways? You haven't been able to see her since she started dating that dog." I growled angrily. Damn Jacob Black. I can't hate him too much however, he did seem to make her feel better. At least when I was able to see her after they had hung out. But ever since they started really dating she was gone from my sight. That irked the hell out of me.
"Alice do you still think she's your mate?" Emmet had quietly been listening. He's actually really sensitive about Bella, I know he misses her too.
"She's not her mate!" Edward yelled angrily. "We've talked about this. Her hair and eyes are completely different." He was talking about the girl I had seen as my mate in my visions. I had had visions of her for as long as I can remember. Her hair was short and choppy and her face was hard. But it resembled Bella's a lot. Carlisle had guessed maybe they were related somehow. But her eyes were so strange. In the beginning of my visions they would change from red to gold. The same gold color our eyes were. But as time passed her eyes changed from red to a beautiful light gray. She was absolutely stunning.
"Well she's not yours!" I yelled back at Edward. He had realized she wasn't his mate once he left. He didn't feel much pain from the separation at all. Carlisle said it would never be that easy to leave a mate like that. But I had a feeling I was leaving mine. He started growling at me, and I at him. Emmet moved to get in between us just as Rosalie walked in with what looked like a newspaper in her hands. She looked completely devastated.
"We have to go back." She whispered. Esme moved to comfort her.
"What's wrong sweetheart?" She asked concernedly. Rosalie just handed her the paper in her hands. Esme looked over it briefly and put a hand to her mouth. "Oh no," she whispered, "Bella."
That got me up. "What? What's wrong? Is Bella ok?" I snatched the paper from her.

The town is still in mourning as the funeral for highly decorated Chief of Police Charlie Swan passes. Chief Swan served the town of Forks for over twenty years and had dedicated his life towards the people of this city. His death was tragically caused by an ongoing investigation of gang violence in Port Angeles. Chief Swan disappeared on the night of April 22nd and his body was not found until mid-May. Newly appointed Chief Phillips has informed us that the gang violence is now their top priority.
This loss comes on top of the already devastatingly loss of Renee and Phil Dwyer, mother and step-father to local student Isabella Swan, daughter of Chief Swan. The Dwyers were heartbreakingly killed in a car accident on the 17th of May. The 18 year old was not to be seen for the months after Chief Swan's disappearance and in grieving. Close friends of Miss Swan recount her withdrawal from the public eye. "I think it was just too much for her to take. She already lost her boyfriend back in March and then all her parents. She ran away and didn't want to come back." Jessica Stanley quotes. The funeral for Chief Swan was delayed until Isabella's return this past week. However, it did not seem that she made an appearance. Miss Swan will return to school as a senior at Fork high in the upcoming week, and we will all be thinking of her in this trying time.

I sank to my knees and sobbed. "Bella. Oh Bella." Rosalie wrapped her arms around me while the rest of the family passed around the paper with somber expressions. "What have we done?"
"It wasn't our fault Alice. You can't blame yourself for the unexpected." Rosalie whispered to me.
"We should have been there Rose! She lost everything and had no one to comfort her!" Some best friend I was. Carlisle had come out of his study and read the paper quietly. When he was finished he addressed the whole family.
"Rosalie is right. We're going back to Forks."
