QUICKIE: I seem to knock Bella unconscious a lot, haha. I think I have a problem. Sorry I left you all on another cliff hanger, but it seemed to be the perfect place to stop. Anyway, hope you enjoy this chapter.
-Alice's POV-
Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Bella was still convulsing in the sand, but knew there wasn't much time left. James took advantage of the second I was distracted and pinned me on the ground, hand at my neck, squeezing. The cracking started, going up the side of my face on either side. The pain searing as I tried to push him away, his evil ruby red ever bearing down on me. My hand was at his face now, pushing as hard as I could, loosening his grip on me. Out of nowhere a huge rock flew into James, knocking him over. Taking this opportunity, he was on his knees, me standing behind him with my arms tight around his neck.
Anger flowed through my body, giving him one jerk to the side, taking his head off. His body still moving, I tossed his head off to the side and dismembered the rest of him within a blink of an eye. I piled up his remains and took a silver lighter out of my pocket. I threw it at the pile, flames engulfing every inch of him immediately. I sprinted back to a motionless Bella, her face wet from tears that had fallen. She was almost gone, and I knew what I had to do. I picked up her arm, bringing it to my mouth. I sucked, tasting the best thing that had ever flowed in my mouth. I moaned as I the warm liquid gushed down my throat, tasting the last of my venom from her body, I tried to stop. Then, my eyes glazed as the future came to me.
I was sitting in front of Bella's tombstone, my eyes stinging with tears that refused to fall. I traced the letters of her name as I decided what I needed to do.
All of a sudden I was standing before Aro, Caius, and Marcus in Volterra.
"Please..." I whispered, begging them.
"I'm so sorry, Alice. I'm afraid that your particular gift is much too valuable to destroy."
I clenched my fingers into a fist as I walked away from them.
"If you are unhappy with your lot...join us. We would be delighted to have you as apart of the Volturi guard."
I stopped, turning back to them.
"You know what would eventually happen anyway."
"Not without cause." Marcus exclaimed as Caius scoffed.
I shook my head and turned away, walking out the door and into the long hall.
"Such a waste..." Aro mumbled.
I left the building, staying in the shadows as I looked around at all the people. So happy, celebrating with friends and family members. I knew this was my chance.
I took off my sunglasses, my coat, gloves, and long sleeve shirt. In my tank top and jeans, I inched towards the sunlight. Soon I would be with my Bella, and nothing else mattered.
I closed my eyes, feeling the sunlight hit me. Not even a second went by, as I was whisked away and was back in the Volturi throne room. Finally...he has no choice now.
They pushed me to my knees, Felix holding my right arm while Demetri held my left. I looked up as Aro approached me with a disappointed look on his face. He stroked mine, as if saying goodbye, then he grabbed either side of my head and started to pull. This pain was nothing compared to the pain I felt without Bella, and it would all be over soon enough.
My face started cracking, and my arms started to go, until I felt the pain no more...and everything turned to black.
I gasped as I was shot back to the present, still sucking at Bella's arm. I wouldn't be able to live without my her...so I fought. Fighting my natural instinct to drain her of all blood, I ripped myself away, covering my mouth with my hand. I eyes slammed shut, controlling my urge to go back and finish what I started. It was then I was hit with another vision, this time so powerful that it physically knocked me back.
I opened my eyes to a red-eyed Bella, smiling, with tears in her eyes. She was so beautiful, wearing a lavender dress, with a purple butterfly clip in her hair to match.
Her fingers absently played with mine, making the rings on our fingers clink together.
"I know pronounced you to be married. You make kiss..."
Bella literally jumped into my arms with excitement, kissing me like there was no tomorrow. That is, until she realized that there were at least two-hundred people watching us.
She turned to me, hiding her face against mine. She would have blushed if she could have, which made me smile.
"I love you." She whispered as she leaned in and kissed me softly on the cheek.
"I love you too, Bells."
-Bella's POV-
I groaned as I came to, rubbing my eyes before I opened them. The soft light from a lamp illuminating the room enough to where I could see. I turned my head to find Alice sitting in a comfy-looking chair a few feet away. She got up as and came over to me pushing a few stray hairs from my face. Her cold fingers felt so good on my hot forehead.
"Hey..."
"What happened?" I asked, confused...so many questions going through my head.
"...Everything's taken care of. You're safe now."
"Where are we?"
"My house. This is Carlisle's office. The only room with a place to lie down, other than the living room, but I wanted to give you some privacy from the others."
"We're...back in Forks?"
"Yes."
I tried to sit up, but halting when there was a pain in my chest.
"Here, let me help." She said as she put her hands under my arms and pulled me up into a sitting position.
I breathed a sigh of relief and laid against the arm of the couch.
"You need to take it easy for a while. The good news is, nothing's broken."
"The bad news...?" I asked cautiously.
"You're still hurt."
I took a minute, trying to remember everything that had happened. James bursting into the cabin, him ripping Alice's arm off, him pushing me down to the ground...biting me.
"Alice?"
"Hm?"
"Why...did you save me?"
She frowned at this. "Because I love you."
"No, I mean...if you just let the venom spread, I could be like you right now."
"You've never expressed any interest in becoming a vampire."
"Do you know what I dream about?" I said, taking her cold hand in mine.
"No..."
"I dream about being with you forever."
"Forever. You know how long that is?" She teased.
"Ali, I want you...always. And if that means becoming a vampire...then I'll happily do it."
She lowered her head, thinking about it for a minute.
"You don't know what you'd be giving up."
"I do."
"Bella, we have loads of time to talk about this. You should rest now."
As much as I wanted to prove my point, she was right. We did have loads of time...and I really just wanted to lay down and go back to sleep.
"Wait, what time is it?"
"A little after one in the afternoon."
"Shit. I was supposed to go back to school today."
"You're in no condition to, so Carlisle called in for you."
"Okay. What should I tell Charlie when he finds out I didn't go today?"
"I was thinking about that when you were asleep. The best thing I could come up with, was that when you woke up this morning your leg started hurting. Carlisle looked at it and said you should rest another few days before trying to do back to school."
Hm...should work. Charlie usually buys anything I tell him, and with Dr. Cullen confirming it, I should be okay.
"Better than what I got...nothing."
"Let me get you home so you can rest properly. I just didn't want to move you and risk waking you up, you need your rest."
"Alright." I said starting to get up.
"Don't strain yourself...here."
She put my arm around the back of her neck and easily picked me up from the couch.
"You don't have to carry me, you know."
"...I like to..."
I didn't argue, instead, I rested my head on her shoulder as she carried me down to her car. I must have fallen asleep in the car, because the next thing I knew, I was being tucked into my bed, Alice laying next to me.
A/N: I can't believe some of you thought I might actually kill off Alice or Bella, LOL. Not after all the hours I spent writing this story. So tell me what you thought of what happened...like, dislike? Let me know, review!
P.S. - I was also thinking after this story ends, I would go back on earlier chapters and maybe expand them. Now that I look back they are fucking SHORT, so maybe..idk, what do you peeps think?
