I leave for Costa Rica in less than 10 hours. I thought I would post this as my parting gift. I will be gone for two weeks, so hang tight. Thanks in advance for the reviews.

Chapter 15: Psychic

My head reeled. How was I supposed to wait? Alice continued to shake. She was still having premonitions. She looked ill. Edward watched her and looked about as nauseous as she did.

"What do you see, Alice?" Emmet asked, anxiously.

"I don't see us winning this one, Emmet." She bit her lip. "So far, I see us hiding. They find us, and set us all on fire. I see us fighting, and we have a better chance. The witches will be safe." Ms. Wintours let out a soft sigh. "The Volturi will have quite a few casualties." Jasper looked at her and smiled. Alice looked down and whispered. "But so will we." Jasper hugged her again. Angela grabbed my hand. I looked to her and she looked petrified. Alice continued. "They want Edward's ability, Bella's shield and my psychic powers." She paused and looked at Edward who heard what she was about to say, he nodded. "Everyone else is, to the Volturi, expendable." Rosalie's eyes grew as she took Emmet's hand. Carlisle walked closer to Alice.

"This is not permanent. We will find a way to be safe." Carlisle kept his hands out to calm everyone. My eyes darted up as I remembered something.

"Renesmee! What about her?" My hands momentarily clenched until I heard Angela's soft whimper. I relaxed my hand. Alice's brows furrowed.

"They don't know what to make of her. They want her dead, since she is an abomination, yet, they also want her power of persuasion. My visions play out differently each time." She looked at Edward. "No, we can't have the others hide. If we give ourselves up, the Volturi will bring the other's back and we will have to kill them as an act of loyalty. They want the 'Cullen' species, as they are now calling us, gone." Rosalie stretched her hand out to touch Alice's shoulders. Alice looked up and smiled a thank you towards her.

"We will ask Jacob's pack to join us in our battle." She added quietly. Carlisle turned his head sharply and quickly asked.

"Will their involvement help us?" He looked hopeful. Alice shook her head.

"The shapeshifter's involvement makes my visions go black. I think, for once, I'd rather not see the future." She leaned into Jasper and rested her head on his shoulder. Jasper laid his chin on top of her head. I didn't have to be able to read minds to know that he was vowing to keep her safe. His eyes blazed. I looked over to Rosalie and Emmet. Emmet had wrapped his arms around Rosalie's waist and Rosalie was leaning against his chest, and she put her hand on Carlisle's shoulder. Edward held me close, and I refused to let go of Angela's hand. Ms. Wintours followed my gaze around the newly formed circle. For the first time ever, I realized just how destructible and human-like we really were.

That's all for now. I will be back and hopefully writing again shortly. I hope to have the next chapter out around the first of June.
