Chapter 38
It's time
"What is she doing now?" Charlie asked, I could tell he was getting annoyed.
"She's having a vision; remember she can see the future." I responded.
Jacob and I sat there, not really making too much of the situation. We were used to Alice's visions by now.
Charlie on the other hand was still very new to this and had no idea what was going on. You could tell him a million times that Alice can see the future, but that doesn't mean he'll ever be used to it.
Alice sat there for the longest time, staring off into the future.
She finally came out of her vision, fully alert.
"That can't be possible." She murmured.
"What's not possible?" I asked.
"Rosaline…she's…alive?"
"Are you asking me?"
"No, it's just that…well…I see her in my vision…but I know she's…"
"Yeah…"
I put my head down; I had been trying not to think about the morbidity of this situation.
"She's…alive…"
"What do you mean?"
"Well I saw her in my vision, alive and breathing. I know she's 'dead', but how can I see her?"
"Do you see the past as well?"
"No…that's never happened."
She pulled out her cell phone and called someone.
"Carlisle."
There was slight talking on the other end.
"I'm going to put you on speaker phone." She said.
"Okay, we're all here." Alice said.
"Alright, now what did you need to ask me?" Carlisle questioned.
"Is it possible…that I would have visions of the past?"
There was complete silence on the other end.
"I'm not sure. I'm sure it could be possible, for a newborn that is. I highly doubt that you're powers would become more after this many years. If anything, the knowledge of the future would become stronger. You wouldn't be able to see the past. Then again, these powers are quite unpredictable, so therefore, I think it's possible that you would start to see the past."
"Okay."
"What did you see?"
"I saw…Rosaline. She was alive and breathing."
"That…that must be the past then, we all know she's…"
"Yeah, we were just talking about that."
"Have you seen anything else regarding the Volturi?"
"No, not yet. I'm keeping my eyes open though."
"I see."
"We need someone here though, that will keep Charlie safe when they come."
"Yes, I know. We can't bring him here though; they'll attack him right away."
"That's what I think."
Alice turned to Charlie.
"If you could go any place in the world…where would you go?"
He seemed taken back by her question.
"I…I don't know. Why?"
"Because, we need to get you out of forks."
"Why?"
"For your safety."
"We could bring him to my house. Seth could stay there with him." Jacob suggested.
"Did you hear that—"
"No! I'm not leaving!" I heard Seth scream on the other end.
"I think that'd be a good idea. Seth will you please do this for us?" Carlisle questioned.
There was a loud sigh on the other end and then a growl.
"Fine." He answered.
"Okay great, get Seth over here and we'll have him bring Charlie to Jacob's place." Alice replied.
"Will do."
Alice hung up the phone.
"Alright, Charlie, you're going to go to Jacob's house to hang out with Billy." Alice instructed.
"Alright…" Charlie said, as if he had a choice.
There was an angry knock on the door.
"Who is it?" I called out.
"It's Seth."
"Come in."
He opened the door with an angry sigh.
I walked up to him and kissed him on the cheek.
"Thanks for doing this for me, Seth. You have no idea how much I appreciate this."
His face turned slightly red and then he straightened up.
"It's uh...Not…a problem, Renesmee." He stated.
I smiled and walked over to Jake and he put his arm around me.
"Okay, c'mon Charlie. Let's go to Jake's house." Seth ordered.
Charlie gave him a slight nod and walked toward Seth.
"My mom's bike is in the garage." I suggested.
"We'll find a way to get there." Seth replied.
They walked out of the house. I turned to Alice now.
"What are we going to do now?"
"We'll go to the meadow now, to be with the others." She answered.
WE nodded and walked out of the house. We all ran at our speed. IT was a speed that was unnatural to the human's but quite natural to us.
Alice ran like a light, little feather. She ran carefree; it was a quality I admired about her.
Jake on the other hand, he was intense when he was running. He definitely ran with purpose, as I had thought before.
I ran different though, I ran tense. It was most likely unattractive to others, the way I run.
Everyone was gathered in the meadow, the same way they were before. My parents turned and looked at me.
"How's Charlie?" my mother asked.
"He's okay; Seth is bringing him to Jacob's house."
She nodded and looked back at my father.
We all focused our attention on Alice, who was having another vision. She was staring into the future again. When she came too, we continued to stare at her.
"Prepare your positions." She instructed.
We all nodded. The wolves began to descend into the forests. The rest of us made our way to the end of the meadow.
Carlisle stood in front of us all, Edward next to him, along with my mother.
I stood behind them with Esme, Rosalie, Emmett, Jasper, and Alice.
"It's time." Alice stated.
There we stood; waiting for what could be our last moments together, to come.
