Chapter 3:Esme-Trances and Questions

I watched as Jasper and Alice arrived at the camping spot they walked closer. I then looked in disbelief as Alice collapsed to the ground. Then all that was happening was Jasper screaming her name over and over again. Before I could get up and run to Alice everyone was crowding her as I looked into her eyes I knew what was happening.

"She can see something" I muttered

"Give her space" Carlisle said calmly

Everyone then backed up apart from Jasper who was holding Alice's hand still and Carlisle kneeling in front of her. I knew that it was something serious or else everyone wouldn't be worrying. But this time there was something different but I couldn't put my finger on it. Then I realised that whilst seeing into the future she had never collapsed before, but then it hit me, was it the Volturi she could see. Was Aro there in her thoughts. Then Alice broke the trance, took her hand away from Jaspers and stood away from everyone else. Bella stood closer than everyone else.

"What is it Alice what did you see?" Bella said whilst looking deep into her eyes like she was searching for something.

"The Volturi" Alice muttered into Bella's ears.

Edward walked closer and said "Where are they?, Who's coming?, What will happen?"

"In 2 days they will be at our home. Aro has bought Demetri and Renata, They now want me Nessie and Bella" Alice answered.

I walked close as well and said "Alice honey, how long will it take for them to get here?"

"5 days, there expecting a battle" Alice replied

We all looked stunned, I looked around at all the faces, they were even ghastlier than before. Then I saw Bella just walk off Edward following her one hand in hers and one in Renesme's, they walked off in silence into their deluxe size tent. Then Alice looked apologetic at Jasper and then ran off into a tent that she had presumed was Jaspers and then Jasper went in after her took her out of mine and Carlisle's tent and led her to their tent. Before I had finished watching Jasper and Alice, Emmett and Rose were already zipping their tent shut. Then Carlisle started talking.

"We should discuss what to do with Edward"

"Yes" I replied as I could only get out one word answers

"C'mon then Love" he said when he noticed I wasn't following.

"Right"

We then walked across the camp site to Edward, Bella and Renesme's tent. We walked into the tent to see Edward cooking a deer leg for Nessie. Nessie was playing with her building blocks. Bella well she was looking flustered on a sofa watching the TV. They all looked up the same time to see us walk through, they all glided in unison to great us.

"We need to talk" Carlisle said "strategies"

"Ok" Edward replied "What kind of strategy?"

"Well the plan is to either create an army or…"

"Or what" I screamed at Carlisle as I turned to face him.

"Run?"

Everyone looked at Carlisle in disbelief. The man, I was in love with, the intelligence of our coven, had he finally given in?, Why was he doing this to the people who loved him the most, his family, his cover. All my faith was in him and this was all he could come up with.

"Well then I think we know what we got to do" Bella said

"Yes" I muttered "fight"

We all looked down, I was so ashamed that it had to come to this, so much that I couldn't look at the others in the face.
