Chapter 13: Mary Alice Brandon (Cullen)
"Meeting!" I said as I walked into the living room no less then ten seconds later everyone was sitting in the living room. "Esme and Carlisle its great to see you both again I apologize for what happened before. I wish that this meeting could be under better terms."
"Bella it's good to see you again too. I should apologize too we didn't exactly act our best when we found out that you were the Volturi Princess. I use to live with Aro and the brothers so I know what you mean it can be hard to get acceptance from others when they know this." Carlisle said. I wanted to run to him and just cry.
Esme came up to me and pulled me into a very motherly hug, "I'm sorry too Bella I see you as a daughter and what I did was not the motherly thing to do I hope that you can forgive me too." She said sounding so sad and heartbroken.
I hugged her tighter and said, "Oh Mom there is nothing to forgive I understand so very much. I forgive you all I just want you to forgive me but if not then I understand." I finished looking at Edward. Esme just pulled back and had the biggest smile on her face and her eyes had that twinkle back in the.
"Can we get on to why we are here?" Edward asked in a sarcastic tone. Wow I thought that Rosalie had the Bitch quota filled already but whatever.
"Yes," I said looking at Alice. "What do you remember of your human life?"
Alice frowned and said with a sad tone, "Nothing, why?"
"Does the name Mary Alice Brandon ring any bells for you?" I asked.
"No?" Alice said making it sound more like a question.
"Do you want to know about your human life? I warn you its not very happy. I can either tell you here or in private its up to you." I said still looking only at Alice.
She looked up and met my eyes, "Tell me, I need to know. You can tell everyone I need them here for support any ways."
"Okay, your name was Mary Alice Brandon, you were 19 years old when you were changed. You were born in 1901 in Biloxi, Mississippi. When you were human you already had your premonitions but back during these time they believed that you were crazy. So then at the age of ten your parents had you committed to the local insane asylum." I paused when I heard gasps all around. "Since you were not in any way crazy there was no way that they could help you but for 9 years they tried."
If Alice could I would have sworn that she would be crying if she could. "Why would my parents do that?"
"Alice, I wish that I knew but during this time they did not believe that people could tell the future. You are very lucky that they did not kill you for thinking that you were a witch." I said looking at her. "Alice the reason you can not remember anything about your human life is because you suppressed it into your memory you did not want to remember the nine years in which you lived in a dark room with no lights. The way the asylum treated you was not the best in fact it was probably the worst way to treat a patient who had absolutely nothing wrong with them."
"Did I have any brothers or sisters?" Alice asked looking as best she could under the circumstances.
"Yes you had a younger sister, her name was Cynthia Mary Brandon. They gave her your name as her middle name after you got 'sick,' you were ten when she was born. Do you want to know more about her?" I asked not knowing what she wanted to know and what she didn't.
"Yes that would be nice." She said.
"Well Cynthia was very beautiful even as a baby, so your parents entered her in many beauty pageants where she would take first place in all but a handful. She continued this till she was about 24 then she married a man by the name of Eric and they had three beautiful children of their own. I believe that you have some great great great nieces and nephews walking around somewhere." I said with a smile, she smiled at that too.
"Thank you Bella." She said. "But who turned me?"
"While you were living in the asylum there were two vampire also working there. One night one of them was planning on killing you because you were their singer," this got several growls from people in the room, "But the other vampire would not let that happen to you. The vampire who changed you was name Timothy and he was killed right after changing you that is why you woke up alone to this world."
"Why was he killed?" Alice asked.
"He was killed by the vampire who wanted your blood, he was killed because he save you." I told her, I could tell that she looked like she wanted to cry so I sent her a little peace using Jasper power.
"Thanks you Jasper." She said not looking up. He just looked at her confused and then me. I just winked at him to let him know it was me. "I mean thank you Bella. Sorry forgot you don't have your powers right now Jasper." Now everyone looked confused.
"Even though Jasper, Edward, and Alice can not use their powers in my bubble I can because its my bubble." I said explaining to everyone what was going on. "I just send Alice a little peace, this is a lot to take in for her."
"Yea I always wanted to know but I didn't know where to start." Alice said looking just a little better. "But this doesn't explain why you are here and who is after me?" Esme and Carlisle looked at her scared.
"Esme, Carlisle its okay no one is going to get Alice. I promise." I said looking at the two of them.
"Thank you Bella." Esme said.
"Back on topic, the reason Victoria and myself are here is because there is a vampire after Alice. A sick twisted vampire who is mad because Alice is the only person who has ever escaped him. Alice the vampire after you is the one who killed your sire and it is all my fault that he found you." I said looking down.
"What do you mean Bella?" Alice asked.
"If I never would have come to Forks in the first place he would not have been sent to check up on me by my father. Alice the vampire that wants you is James. He is a tracker but since he had not met you once you became vampire he could not get a read on you. If he had then he would have probably come for you sooner. Alice I am so so sorry for this."
"Bella this is not your fault at least you came to warn us even after everything that we did to you." Alice said. "Now what do we do?"
"You do nothing, I told you already I want you with Jasper and at the very least one other person with you at all times. I am not going to let you get hurt by this monster while I am going to take a friend, not Victoria, and we are going to search for James." I paused and looked at the rest of them, "The same goes for the rest of you, I want you to do nothing, Carlisle you need to call the hospital and tell them there was a family emergency and you cant be at work for at least a week. I am hoping it does not take that long but we do not know until it happens. Esme please call the school and inform them of the same. No one is leaving this house, not that you could leave anyways." I finished the last part more to myself then anyone else.
"What do you mean Bella?" Carlisle asked.
"I mean that no one can get out of my bubble unless I let them out or I die. So either until I kill James or he kills me you are to remain here. I will be back in a week if I have not killed him by then and I will take you all hunting, until then I will leave Victoria here incase something happens and James gets past my shield or he kills me then you are still protected Vikki is a very good fighter and very strong." I said standing up to get ready to leave.
"Bella," Alice said looking at me like she might cry again, "Please be careful. I won't be able to see anything until you let me out of this bubble. I don't want to see you get hurt because you were protecting me."
"Alice trust me, I am stronger then I look it will take more then just James to take me down." I said looking her in the eyes. I gave her and Esme a big hug before I turned to leave. Just as I was to the door I looked back to see Edward, he looked like he was having a battle within himself.
"Edward, I love you." I said as I walked out the front door.
Okay James come out, come out, wherever you are.
