Note: The sad chapter :( where Casey leaves the Cullens! NOT THE END OF THE STORY THOUGH TRUST ME!

Chapter 6

Alice POV

It was today. The day we all had been dreading since the day we all met and fell in love with Casey Marcks, the most special and wonderful little girl in the entire universe. She was leaving us. To where we didn't yet know but our time was over with her and after she was picked up we would never see her again. Never see her smile so bright that even on the rainiest days it was as if the sun was shinning or hear her little high soprano laugh or stroke her perfect blonde curls as we held her ever. I would never get to help her pick out her clothes or do her hair different ways every morning or play dress up or Barbie. I would never have to watch Cinderella or The Little Mermaid over and over again ever.

I dressed her in a semi-formal dress that was as white as snow with her little black leather shoes and a white headband keeping the hair off her tiny perfect face. I put my favorite lip gloss on her and the whole while it was quiet. The whole morning had been nothing but quiet. Quiet as she ate and quiet as we all packed her clothes and toys into her bags for her to bring with her wherever she went. I didn't need my future predicting to tell me that this house was going to be quite sad for a long time. Everyone, even Edward, would be sad and quiet.

Everyone was sitting in the main room not watching TV not talking just thinking. Casey sat quietly between Esme and me starring out the window for the car that she knew was taking her away from us, her family. It was hard to look at her, but so hard to take my eyes off of her. I didn't want to see her and know she was leaving me, but I didn't want to forget anything about that child. I had already memorized every detail analyzing her looks and drawing conclusions of what she would look like as she grew. What was I going to do with my endless eternity after she was gone? How were we going to go on? We were going to go on forever, but she was going to take or hearts and everything that we were with her when she left us.

I couldn't help but think that maybe we never should have fostered her, and then we wouldn't have to go through all of this pain and suffering. I couldn't imagine a life without her though so I do not regret saving her from whatever we saved her from.

I was pulled from my thoughts as the door bell rang. Casey leaned closer to Esme looking for protection that we couldn't give her as Carlisle walked over to the door. We all shared glances and nods knowing exactly who was there and what they wanted. Our Casey. Our precious daughter, sister, and friend.

As Carlisle answered the door we all stood up as straight as possible rigid in grief. Nobody said anything and we all walked over to the big wooden door in the front of the house. Casey gripped Esme and my hand with dear life as if she was never going to let go.

We approached the lady at the door who introduced her self as a Mrs. Hewitt. She had her brunette hair pulled into a bun and to be honest the way she looked and dressed it reminded me of an old schoolhouse teacher from Little House on the Prairie or something. She smiled at all of us and then turned her complete attention to Casey.

"Hello dear you must be Casey are you already to come with me?" She asked sincerely.

"Do I have to?" Casey asked lowering her tiny face.

"Yes honey the Cullens here have decided not to keep you and adopt you," She explained. I saw Rosalie shoot her a dark angry face knowing that Casey would probably take it the wrong way and think that we didn't love her, but we all did maybe even to much.

"Now say goodbye to your friends here and we will go get into my car," Mrs. Stupid Head said.

Casey started with Carlisle hugging him tightly, whispering like the wind quick and soft her goodbye that I didn't want to hear. She then approached Rose who scooped her up in her arms and hugged her as if she was never letting go then she kissed her cheek putting her back on the ground glaring at Mrs. Hewitt who was becoming uncomfortable in the doorway. Jasper also hugged her but more carefully then the others thirst for her blood probably burning his throat like a wild fire. Emmett picked her up and hugged her in that Emmett the big brother bear way and messed up her hair when he placed her down smiling doing the best so far at hiding his emotions that you could still see were ripping him slowly apart. Then she came to me.

"Goodbye, Alice," she said so soft any normal person wouldn't have heard her.

I picked her up in my arms and hugged her as tightly as I could without breaking her in half.

"I love you Casey and I always will for every single day of forever," I whispered my voice breaking to her as I kissed her cheek softly beginning to cry.

Edward came over and hugged her, since her party he had spent more time observing her but never really trying to understand her like we all did, but he was Edward and that was his way. Casey ran to Esme jumping so gracefully into her arms. This goodbye was the hardest and most excruciating to watch, someone might as well rip me apart and throw me in a fire, it would feel much better to die than to watch mother and daughter say goodbye for the last time. Esme held her for a minute whispering to her and trying to calm the girl as she now was full out sobbing. As Esme put Casey back on the ground I could see Esme sobbing even worse than me and Rosalie put together. Even Emmett the big tuff bear that he was, was now sobbing as Casey took Mrs. Hewitt's outstretched hand and walked over to the car parked in front of the large house. The car pulled away and she was gone. We were never going to see her again, never ever.
