Chapter 12

An Angel's Face

I realized that what I might have thought may not have been all I thought it to be. The most being I realize the Volturi can kill me. Yeah they wouldn't do it easily without a fight but they probably could. If they had Jane and Alec and all that…isn't that what they want from me to be stressed. It made me kind of annoyed that the Volturi always had the stronger fighters and they left other covens just like…whatever.

The door to the cell creaked open it was starting to rust and was burned a little. If we tried to escape we would be burned alive and fire would spread all around the cell. There would be no other way to get out except for burning alive our vampire speed couldn't outrun the fire (the Volturi made it vampire speed fire).

I froze in my thinking when I saw Jane appear with Chelsea and Renata. I knew what was coming.

"There is nothing that's going to happen" Jane said smirking.

"And she's not lying" Chelsea mocked me and Alice held my arms so I wouldn't attack them but they still led us out of the room as if we were just nothing and brought us down the hallway.

It was a cloudy day in Volterra the rain was coming down hard and the people were all in their homes. I could see a few lights in the hotel across the street and in some homes. The rain fell harder and thunder and lightning closed in. The clock bells rung at the loud ding dong it was seven o'clock. Most of the city's residents were asleep but not us and certainly not some visitors at the hotel.

We were led to the main room where Jasper and Bella were waiting. Aro, Caius & Marcus were sitting in their chairs and Aro was holding a video camera.

"Not again" I mumbled to Alice in a voice way too low for humans to hear.

"We are going to make a phone call to a special someone!" Aro said cheerfully

"Now we want some nice footage OK?" Jane tormented and the others laughed. I felt as if the Volturi had stripped away everything. They were trying to take away everything I had but they couldn't and no matter how hard they tried I wouldn't let them do anything to me.

Aro dialed Edward's cell phone number and Edward answered politely I don't know how he does it but he just does he's just Edward like that.

"Hello Edward!" Jane snarled and there was silence "here is our lovely friend Aro."

She put Aro on the phone and he said "Edward Anthony Cullen what a pleasure it is to talk to you" Aro was smirking now and made these weird faces at me and mouthed "going to die."

"YOU LEAVE HIM OUT OF THIS!" I shouted I didn't want them bringing Edward into this and making it like it was his fault because it wasn't and Caius wacked me across the face.

"DON'T TOUCH HER!"I heard Edward shout into the phone.

"Who's going to make me" Aro retorted and I heard him shout and a loud shattering.

"Edward, don't listen to him he's ly…." I started to say before being pushed back into Jane.

Then Felix grabbed Bella and started squeezing her to which she screamed.

"STOP! DON'T TOUCH HER!" I shouted at them and growled.

"Oh so Hazel Cullen is fighting back? She's not so weak huh? She can escape on her own?" Jane retorted at me.

"Calm down…try on your own. Don't let her get you mad. It's what she wants" Jasper whispered to me. He attacked Jane who fought back. Alice also tried to fight but was overpowered by Alec.

"Back to the cells with them except Bella it's 7:00 and you have exactly 7 hours or they will all be executed." And with that Aro hung up.

Jane laughed and took Alice and I back to our cells and I felt like I was being dragged down through the depths of hell and suffering.

Maybe I was being punished for all the pain I had caused Jason…or not finding him earlier or maybe for the pain I caused Edward.

Maybe I was being punished because of the things I had done to my siblings by making them suffer here. I had realized that there were so many things I had done wrong on this Earth in my 101 years of existence and I needed to do something about it. I would find my answer…soon enough at least.

I was making up stories in my head when the clock struck 8…then 9…then 10. I realized that time was ticking away and it was almost going to be 14:00 before I knew it. I decided I wasn't going to wait around…I was going to figure something out on my own. So what if hurt me? So what if the Volturi broke me down? So what if I am thrown off the earth? I was going to fight for my life and not sit and wait.

I wanted to show my brother I was trying I wasn't leaving him to do all the work. Well, mostly I wanted Emmett to see I wasn't a stupid dwarf who was helpless. If I got burned in the process however…SCREW JANE! Screw the whole damn Volturi I didn't need them! They were just low self-esteem individuals. If there was one thing I learned in this whole episode is that I can be very stubborn if I want to be.

The clock was ticking away and I looked at Alice who was counting bricks to keep track of the minutes while I was writing down a plan for an escape route.

"Alice" I said.

"It's OK they're going to come" she said soothingly.

"I'm not worried about them coming" I said nervously.

"What are you worried about then?" she asked.

"The Volturi…they are planning to round them up and kill them. They aren't going to let us go. Unless we escape without their knowledge…I just…I just want to see Edward I guess. See, Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, & Emmett. I want to go home" I said.

Alice took me in her arms "I know…it's OK" she said.

"I've tracked the house and nothing has changed except Charlie is looking there for Bella but Esme told him we were on another trip again for my karate tournament. That was the story she used when we had to go to Greenland and Canada to hide from Michael and Sammi…Geez that seems like a long time ago but really it was just 2 months ago and 2 months ago I had to deal with the bitches at school."

I suddenly realized that when Alice told me it was OK my vibration didn't go off. I looked the other way at the clock that was reading 12:48 and it was blinking. There was flickering and I thought it was…strange.

"Almost an hour" I mumbled to Alice who sighed. "I don't think I can handle this" I said.

Alice put her hands on my shoulders,"yes you can" she said "I don't know anyone who's as tough as you when it comes to this stuff." I sighed and closed my eyes. We waited for the clock to change.

I saw the clock chime, it was 13:00 and the door creaked open. I closed my eyes and waited for the Volturi to kill me but it was only Felix coming to throw Jasper in. He had cracks on his face that were healing and Alice held him in her arms. I sat with my hands in my lap and Jasper calmed me down.

"Haze, we're so close, don't lose hope" he told me.

"I'm not I just…I don't want them getting hurt" I said I felt a wave of calmness.

"Don't worry I promise you it's going to be OK" and my vibrator didn't go off. Alice's eyes then were wide again and she was having a vision.

"They're going to kill…or at least attempt" she said and Jasper put a pen in her hand and gave her paper.

"Where are they going Alice?" he asked her and she started drawing on the paper. The vision showed stairs and Edward, Emmett, Rosalie, Bella, & me running on them and Aro and Caius were behind us. I stared at the paper and rolled my eyes

"They aren't going to let this go are they?" I asked.

"No I guess not" Alice whispered. The clock said 13:20 and I wanted 14:00 to come.

"40 minutes left" I said.

"That's how long we've got to live" Jasper mumbled and my lie detector went off.

"No, we're going to get out of here alive" and they both stared at me.

"Are you sure they haven't done something to your brain?" Jasper asked putting his hand on my forehead jokingly checking if I wasn't sick.

"No, just my lie detector went off" I said.

"Uh huh" Alice said.

"When this is all over the old Hazel will be back for sure" I said and they both smirked. I was amazed for once I had lightened up a situation and that was an improvement because normally I made things a misery for everyone. Maybe not but you know what I mean.

DING! DING! The clock chimed and I shut my eyes tight. Fourteen o'clock that was the time and I tracked Edward Renata was sent to guard us…bad move because Jazz could take down the shield…which he did.

"EDWARD! You're here Bella is dying to see you and I am beyond that. Don't think it is going to be easy because it isn't the Volturi had told us what they are planning and it is not pretty. Use everything you have wise because they are watching you…watch out. Right now I am sitting in jail with Alice and Jasper and Bella is in the room with Felix knocked out as usual. I don't want to freak you out but they keep her like that all the time. I hope you don't think of me as weak for this but I'm a little scared and Jazz is trying to calm me down. I want to see you Edward…please come…shield got to go."

I remembered something. The Volturi…they made a tape when we first got here I don't believe I described it but I had a tracking view of them planning to show my family that video. Jane grabbed Jasper and put him in a separate cell. She cackled and I heard voices…a single voice…EDWARD!

I wanted to scream again but then I realized it would only torment him so instead I tracked him. He was standing in the lobby and waiting to come. Heidi was there and herded them into a room…the Volturi center hall. Oh no I wanted to think but just in case the shield was down I didn't want Edward to hear…I didn't want him worrying.

Alice held me and stroked my hair and I told her I was OK that she should worry about getting out herself. She sighed and told me I should stop worrying. But I was worried I like to think ahead one thing Edward used to laugh at. I wanted everything to be normal again and most of all I wanted to be home…with Edward, with my family not here in Italy with the stupid Volturi.

The video was over. I didn't want to track him during it but I knew he was in pain. Alec was numbing all their senses and Jane came.

"The shield is down" she whispered fiercely and pierced me with pain.

I screamed in my head and thought not wanting to hurt my brother I couldn't help it I was hoping he would get my apology but I doubted it.

"EDWARD! EDWARD! EDWARD ANTHONY MASEN CULLEN! Edward help please! It's getting worse and I know you're here. I'm so scared they told us when they killed you we would go down…I almost feel as if Michael is going to come back or something. I'm going to try everything I can but it's no use I'm just a stupid weak…"

Then Jane laughed as the shield went up and went back to where my brother and the Volturi were.

I knew that they were taken…somewhere but then again I guessed that it was the cave. I tracked them and I was accurate.

"I think Jasper's cell has a trapdoor that leads to where the others are" I said tracking it.

"What do you mean?" Alice asked me.

"What I mean is that there's a trapdoor in Jazz's cell. The Volturi have put Carlisle, Esme, Edward, Emmett, & Rosalie in their basement. There is a cave that is under there and there is a secret door that leads to Jasper's cell from there" I said.

Alice looked at me for a second. "You don't suggest…"

"Yeah I do" I said.

We came up with a plan but the one problem was we had to get Renata's shield down to contact Edward about the plan. Not that I had any doubt Edward would figure it out.

"What are they doing now Hazel?" she asked me

"They're planning they know we're going to get away so we have to be sneaky…wait but Jane's standing up…she's leaving…and…SHE'S COMING!" I said in the same way Alice would have said it…in a scared higher pitched tone.

I looked and saw smoke. Jane was carrying a torch as she approached out of the fog. Yet, as much as I wanted to just bury my head in my hands I didn't I had several reasons but a main one was that I wanted to stand strong. I knew I had to do it…for Alice's sake at least and I didn't want Jane to think she was superior to me because she wasn't just because she was 13 and I was 12 doesn't make a difference.

It only happened in a matter of seconds before I could even react. Next thing I know she's on top of me and I'm pinned. I have no feeling in my left leg as it feels like it is burned off already maybe I am so used to her pain by now that I don't even feel it. She punches my face and if I was human my eye would've already been black and blue and my nose would've been bloody she just laughed and I didn't even bother doing anything. The thing with Jane is you just have to dodge the bullets and let her do what she wants and it will all be over soon. If you don't she just makes you feel more pain and everything just lasts heck of a lot longer.

For some reason I kept picturing Edward, I imagined seeing his face, seeing his smile and smirk and yes maybe even his torture. I missed my whole family and was maybe a little…stunned that I might see them soon if possible. I was just glad I had Alice with me that way I wasn't completely alone.

I tracked Jason who was in the cafeteria at Forks Middle School (it was his first day there) so I might find him soon! I mean that's a good sign if he's in Forks right? But he was all alone none of the other kids accepted him. I wanted to run to the school and be with Jason but as usual I couldn't because of the stupid Volturi and also it wasn't the time to see him yet. I thought of songs I could sing in my head in the meantime for after Jane was torturing me to keep from going ballistic. It was hard to keep casual when you knew you were going to become free in a matter of hours? Day's maybe. But I knew that they were in the cave. Alice said something to me but I was caught up daydreaming that I didn't hear her.

"What?" I asked.

"The shield!" she said I stared at her and then realized she was telling the truth. Immediately and before the shield went down I contacted Edward.

"EDDIE! Jazz has done it again he's manipulated Renata's feelings and her shield has recoiled. I know where you are and you are close. If you get out of your 'cave' you will look up and see a trap door. The room you are in is a prisoner's solitary confinement as you guessed. The trapdoor will lead to Jazz's cell and then he will contact you from there. Letting you know where Alice, Bella, & I are located. I hope to see you soon Edward."

The shield recoiled and I tracked Edward he was in Jasper's cell…literally just maybe 20 rooms away. I couldn't help but thinking about how close he was…how close they were. I was so close to coming out of my hell that maybe…just maybe possibly they would go into action now? But deep down I knew and I felt my vibration NOT UNTIL MORNING! It was telling me. OK well morning was better than nothing right? RIGHT! I heard them talking to Jasper and putting their plan in action.

"Alice" I said.

"What?" she asked.

"They're talking to Jazz…coming up with a plan as we speak…listen" I said and I could tell she was listening her eyes went wide, not with fear but with happiness.

"You're…you're right" she said and we listened and if you ask me their plan was pretty good actually it was amazing.

Sometimes only Edward can think of these things but I had no doubt that they all came up with it and Jasper was helping too. The first one to come get me would be Emmett and I would even be happy to see him even if it meant teasing, torture, & dwarf calling. I would run to Edward from there and then we would go get Bella and break out of there and return to Forks.

Thinking about all this eventually made me think about my thirst and then I could feel the hot burn inside of my throat. I could even smell the humans from here! But I had to control myself I had to. It probably wouldn't be safe to take me on an airplane back to Forks unless I have fed first though or I might just go wild with thirst. I mean would you? If you hadn't drunk anything in a week and were surrounded with all this blood and water or whatever I probably would drink water now…no water is repulsive all food is well to vampires it is at least.

The door creaked open and I saw Jane and Alec "NO! NO! NO! "I was thinking and she came to taunt me.

"You know what" I said and this time I was aware of what I was doing.

"What?" Jane said taunting me.

"This is really sad you have to make everyone else miserable to just get what you want…Carlisle, Esme, Edward, & Rosalie are suffering right now…all because of you! What don't you have?" Alice shouted at Jane who made Alice feel pain.

I was stunned I mean ALICE said that and she was never defiant per say.

"PLEASE JUST LEAVE HER ALONE LEAVE US ALL ALONE FOR THE THOUSANDTH FREAKING TIME!"I shouted because I was getting annoyed at Jane for keep coming to torture us.

Alec lunged at me and I fought him off Jane screamed in happiness and she tortured Alice and I. I held my scream in because I knew Edward would hear it and I didn't want to put him in any pain nor did I want him to suffer.

The darkness closed in and I realized it was nighttime. The clock struck 11:00 and I thought to myself. Just 9 more hours and then you're free. But if it came down to letting anyone else go and me I knew I would have to sacrifice myself for my family I mean I couldn't live with myself if someone put their life on the line for me although it was already happening now, what if Edward got killed? What if Emmett, Rosalie, Carlisle, or Esme got killed? What would I do? Would I be able to live with the guilt knowing that they died trying to save Alice, Jasper, Bella, & I? I doubted it and that was what haunted me. It haunted my soulless mind and probably would until this attack or ambush whatever you want to call it was over.

I shut my eyes and wished I could sleep maybe if I was able to sleep I would be able to be taken from hell although if I had slept on that fateful night…the last night of my human life I would not be here right now so maybe not sleeping was a good thing. I still laugh about the myth the Volturi created about how we sleep in coffins during the day, how we can be physically harmed by sunlight, garlic, holy water, stakes through the "heart, & crosses (of all the myths these are the biggest jokes I have ever heard funny even). We don't reflect in mirror (very stupid), we can't turn into bats, & NO WE DO NOT HAVE FANGS! That one is just offensive and bothers me. But the reason these myths were circulated was because we would seem very ridiculous and not real. I hate how around Halloween time they portray us. Especially in movies, movies are the worst.

Sometimes Edward, Emmett, & I would watch movies portraying vampires and laugh throughout the whole thing. One time we saw a movie where the vampire had these fangs with blood dripping from them and he wore this retarded cape and slept in a coffin then he died at the end because someone poured holy water on him and he melted. Edward and Emmett laughed all night about that because it just sounded so stupid to us, vampires. Now back on topic as I was saying.

I realized that while I was busy thinking 5 hours had past so now it was 4:00am. Now just five hours were left until the attack (which would be at 9am). I knew I should've probably been conserving energy but I couldn't help it. I was anxious after this was done maybe no one would be in pain anymore. I probably would end up going insane and I tracked Edward who was getting ready for the attack. I felt as if I was hurting him inside I was causing him pain. Would this all be over soon? Or would the outcome end up failing?

I sat against the wall, head pressed back and my hands at my side. I was trembling just thinking about everything. I was staring at the floor fearing for my family's lives. I probably would never be able to forgive myself if something happened to one of them. I would know that they died fighting for Alice, Jasper, Bella, & I.

Eight thirty in the morning and I track Edward. I see him, coming up through the trapdoor and silently moving out. Secretly in my head I am screaming with joy but I feel guilty inside he is coming. I track Emmett and he hasn't been signaled by Rosalie yet, it takes about 15 minutes for them to finally get the signal and Emmett runs to Alice and my cell. He opens the cell using his strength but actually quietly. He tells Alice to stay with him and to me he says, "Haze, track Edward, find him, and find Bella."

I nod but he picks me off the ground and tells me he is happy to have me back and I tell him the same. I sprint and track Edward he was hiding near a pillar. Aro was coming since he knew about the escape plan. He was about 10 feet within my range. I dove under a staircase and blended in with the dead bodies. Aro smelled my scent because it was a vampire scent. He went to investigate and I don't breath nor do I do anything all I do was think. Edward I'm almost there!" and I knew he could hear me. I tracked him and could tell he caught my scent. Aro walked away when he found nothing and immediately I sprinted to where Edward was. I ran faster than I ever had in my entire life and didn't stop until I looked into his eyes.

I caught his scent and it was just the same his "Edward" scent which was like cool mint. We locked eyes for a second and I could tell my eyes were black. I tackled him and threw my arms around his neck and I never wanted to let go. If I could have cried I probably would have. I had no idea what to say.

"Edward?" I said.

"Yeah?" he said.

"Is it really you?" I asked him I feared I was daydreaming again.

"Yeah" he said again I was so happy I could've cried or gone mad. I was never this happy to see my brother in my entire life. We locked eyes again and I said to him "Come on Eddie, let's go get Bella."

He made sure I was near him at all times shielding me if we even heard danger. By the time we got to Bella's cell he froze.

"What's wrong?" I asked him knowing he had heard someone's thoughts.

"They've figured it out" he said and I just stared at him for a second. We raced even faster and I broke the glass which made the alarm go off.

Bella was still knocked out so Edward whispered "Bella, love you're safe" and sprinted while carrying her. We ran outside to find Alice, Jasper, Emmett, & Rosalie there.

"Where's Carlisle…where's Esme?" Edward asked.

"They're on the other side" I said tracking them. Edward took a deep breath as if he was out of it but he was just smirking. He kissed Bella and we went to the hotel room where he put Bella in the bed to rest until she woke up. He picked me up and held me close.

"I missed you" he whispered.

"I missed you too" I said and he ruffled my hair I laughed for the first time in a while.

"Jazz!" he said giving him a bear hug while still holding me. I did the same even though I had seen Jasper but just out of happiness to be free. Edward did the same to Alice and so did I. After we had our reunion Bella woke up and we all reunited with her. Edward's cell phone rang after a while.

"Hello?" he asked.

I heard Carlisle on the other end, "Esme got a flight for 7pm tonight have either Emmett or Rosalie take Hazel, Jasper, & Alice hunting and you stay with Bella for protection."

"Got it, are you OK?" he asked.

Carlisle laughed and said "yeah…just ask Hazel" Edward laughed. "How is everyone?" Carlisle asked.

"Good still in shock but good" Edward said and they exchanged a few more words before hanging up.

Edward set the phone down and said "so…who's thirsty" my eyes widened and I forced myself to ignore Bella's scent.

"I AM!" I almost shouted and my siblings laughed.

"Emmett, Rosalie, take Alice, Jasper, and Hazel hunting…I'm going to stay her with Bella OK?" Edward said.

Emmett saluted Edward and said "sure thing little brother." To Alice, Jasper, and I he said "let's go bitches."

We got to the forest when he set me down and Jasper and Alice caught up. I took a deep breath and ran without thinking before wildly attacking some sheep and goats. It felt so good to drink you had no idea. After drinking one I couldn't stop I realized how thirsty I actually was. After feeding on about 3 sheep and 3 deer I was satisfied. Jasper was really thirsty he had 13 sheep and 11 goats. Alice had a similar amount to me because she is closer to my size. Jasper is a lot bigger than us so he needed to eat more.

We went back to the hotel room and met up with Edward who was sitting with Bella with his arm around her.. Emmett had his arm around Rosalie's shoulder and Jasper had his around Alice's. I just sat back and took it in…the feeling of freedom really did feel good sometimes.

We went to the airport and I stayed close to Edward who was assuring me everything was fine and no one would hurt me. I knew he wasn't lying and I wasn't afraid of the humans because I knew they wouldn't hurt me. I was just being paranoid that the Volturi would find me and return or something. We sat down and saw Carlisle and Esme and we had a reunion with them as well even though I knew they were going to be there anyway.

"Edward" I said nervously.

"No, the Volturi aren't going to find you…I promise" he said in a voice too low for a human to hear. My lie detector half went off.

"They're going to find us in Forks…and then they're going to…" I started to say.

But then the flight lady said "attention flight 198 now boarding" and with that people began to line up and I could tell Edward had read my mind from the expression on his face he held me close.

"Come on sit with me on the plane OK?" he asked me and held out his hand I took it.

We boarded the plane and Edward let me have the window seat. I leaned on him and was so happy to have him back. Bella fell asleep in his arms and he had one arm around me. He kept smirking doing his "Edward to Hazel smile" I guess he was happy to be able to read our minds again.

I stared out at the Atlantic Ocean as we were flying over. I couldn't wait to go home and to Forks West Middle School…this time for real. Alice said I would meet Jason there and I knew she wasn't lying. It was getting dark outside and since it was a red eye flight the crew was required to serve us dinner. A waitress came around and asked us if we wanted anything. Esme said that we had "eaten before the plane ride" and the waitress asked if we wanted anything to drink Esme said "no thanks" I smirked a little.

Edward whispered to me in a voice way too low for humans to hear, "the same thing happened on the plane ride here" and he smirked when hearing someone's thoughts. "Someone's got a messed up mind on this plane" he said jerking his head towards a man, woman, & 6 daughters sitting. They looked rich and were definitely American the man was yelling at the waitress and keep staring at me. Edward got an angry look on his face.

"What is it?" I asked Edward jerked his head again. I knew what was happening and tightened my grip on his arm. I was trying to keep my cool and trying not to hurt Edward's arm at the same time.

Someone was listening to their IPod and the song was saying "so give them blood, anything they want. Or they'll stab you through the heart so be armed with holy water or garlic because they'll suck you dry." I elbowed Edward and he bit his lip trying to keep from laughing.

"Don't growl Eddie" I said because I sensed that he was going to because the man was making these weird faces at me and Edward knew what he was thinking. The man held his daughter like Edward was holding me and he said to me.

"This guy is really being obnoxious" he paused for a second. "Ya think" he said saying what I was thinking and I slugged him. He ruffled my hair again and I shook my head.

"There is definitely something wrong with you."

"Uh huh" he said and if it wasn't for Bella in his arms he would've tackled me probably.

"Eddie?" I said.

"Yeah Haze?" he asked me.

"How's Forks…the house…my room" I asked him even though I knew the answer to the question.

"What's wrong Haze?" he asked me because he had read my mind and he knew the answer as well.

"Where are they?" he asked me.

"They're coming!" I said my voice shaking. Edward hit Emmett's shoulder. Emmett was sitting in the seat across from us with Rosalie and Carlisle. Alice, Jasper, & Esme were sitting in the seat in front of them.

"What do you want?" Emmett half joked Edward whispered something in his ear and Emmett gritted his teeth.

"No, are you fucking kidding me!" he said in a voice that was screaming to vampires.

The man came over and said "DUDE. If you can't control you language you should just go. OK?" and Emmett looked at the man then at Edward then at Rosalie and Carlisle. Jasper calmed him down and made the man feel like he should go back to his own seat.

"What a jackass" Emmett said in a voice too low for humans to hear.

"When will this all be over Edward?" I asked him.

He paused and said, "Why do you keep saying my name?"

"I missed you…I missed saying your name and hearing you answer."

"Well Hazel" then he smirked "we don't know. We can only judge by what the Volturi wants but one thing's for sure they will never touch you ever again and if they do you come to me, Emmett, or Jasper do you understand?" he said half serious and half joking.

"Yes sir" I said pretending to be bored. And he laughed. When we were over New York City I saw the lights of the buildings and the Empire State Building I saw ground zero and felt a feeling that I hadn't really had as a vampire…I missed Chicago.

Edward read my mind, "Yeah me too. Hey we should go back there to walk around…you know see how much it's changed."

I rolled my eyes, "A lot" I said and he laughed.

"Oh Hazel" he said patting my head as if I were a dumb dog.

"Yes Master" I said and he rolled his eyes he opened his mouth to speak but then his face went into his grim expression the one he had on whenever Alice had a bad vision.

"What did she see?" I asked him and he held up his finger for "1 second." Whatever Alice had seen I guessed it wasn't a good thing…not good at all.
