RXR. RXR.


.:Chapter Eighteen - The Vision:.
I feel a sudden turn in my stomach, and instantly my eyes fly to Alice's form, but the sight I'm greeted with causes me to stiffen. Alice was sat frozen on the other sofa, her eyes were as black as coal and she was staring right at me.

"Jasper? What's wrong with Alice?".

My question caused both males to turn their head as fast a lightning towards Alice. I breath sharply when I feel a sudden burst of air fly around me from all angles. I look over at Alice to find both Jasper and Sirius are by Alice's side.

"Alice, it's Jasper. Tell me what you see? Talk to me".

Jasper's voice was so calm, his hand was on her back soothing her. I could only guess that this was what Jasper had told me about Alice's gift, she must have been having a vision. I stood up quickly and made my way towards the kitchen.

"I'll get a cold flannel I call back to them".

I felt stupid saying this, but I didn't want to seem useless to them.


.:Sirius' POV:.
I watched Alice, her eyes were so dark, she looked almost lost, but yet I knew she was gonna be alright.

"Its so dark she feels so alone, and lost... Its cold where she is, so cold,.. and so dark".

Alice spoke slightly hesitantly, almost as if she was scared of something. I turn to face Jasper with a questioning look.

"What's going on?" I ask him.

"Alice has visions. She's sees the paths people are on while their on them, she see the decisions they make when they make them" he tells me.

I nod slowly at this, so I wasn't the only one with abilities in this life. This would also answer how Alice knew where to find me. I look back at Alice, I was scared for her, and I barley knew her. She felt special to me sacred.

"Who's in the dark Alice? Who's cold and alone?" Jasper asks.

I was slightly revealed when Alice came too, and her eyes returned to their normal golden colour.

"Where's Lace? she asks as she looks behind us".

Both myself and Jasper look behind us to find the room empty, but I could still smell Lace some where in the house, so I knew she wasn't far. I turn quickly to face Alice when I feel her hand leave mine. I watch as Alice stands up and then disappears in the direction of the kitchen.

I quickly stood myself and followed Alice into the kitchen, with Jasper right by my side. I came to a sudden stop though when I saw Alice crouched down beside Lace.

Lace's body was shacking violently, white frothy liquid was leaving her mouth. I zoned in on her heart beat, it was almost erratic, beating way to fast for any human.

"Call Carlisle!".

Alice voice was loud and demanding, but I didn't know who Carlisle was. I turn quickly to find Jasper was already on the phone. His face looked so pained and angry, and I suddenly feared the man in front of me.

From the moment I saw him, I was slightly cautious, all those scars I saw decorating his body screamed dangerous, but I felt that I should trust him. But now I was scared of him, and I knew I didn't have to worry about Lace as much as long as he was around.

"Carlisle. Its Jasper, were at Morgan Cole's house. We need you to come to us quickly. Please, we have a problem Jasper says to the person on the phone".

Jasper waits only seconds before he closes the phone, only to have it crush under the strength of his hand. I turn back to face Lace as I make my way towards her and Alice. I drop to my knees, not caring that I've put a large dint in the floor beneath me.

"Is this what you saw?" I ask Alice.

I look up at Alice to find her looking straight at me.

"Yes. But this has never happened before. I normally get a vision a few days before. But I've never had one this emotional and this close to the time before" she tells me with honest eyes.

"Could Lace have caused you to have this vision?" I ask slowly.

"What do you mean?" Jasper asks from behind me.

"When were younger, I... I always knew she was hurt before she called to tell me. I could never explain it, but it was almost like she was reaching out to me, to let me know she was in pain. She has this motto always follow your instincts. She always did that, always did what she felt was right, not what she knew was right" I tell them.

"I don't know. I'll ask Carlisle, but I'm guessing she has some sort of emotional connection with those around her" Alice tells me.

I look down at Lace with stinging eyes, this was too hard for me, but I wasn't allowed to let my tears fall, my body was frozen, now and forever, and I would never again be able to mourn for anyone that I loved.

I gently began to reach out for Lace, but I was pulled from my thoughts when there was a knock at the door. Jasper quickly turned to face the door and then disappears to answer it. Jasper reappear moments later with a male right behind him.

The male was best described as looking like a model; the perfection of beauty. He has smoothed back blond hair, and is around 6'2", and looks about 23, he is slight but muscular.

I stare at the male as I ask "Who are you?".

"My name is Carlisle Cullen" he tells me.

"Carlisle taught us how to live with out human blood. He's a doctor" Alice tells me as she touches my hand.

"Can you help her?" I ask him.

"I can try" he tells me.

I nod as I move out of the way, and allow Carlisle to knell down beside Lace. I watch as he feels around for a pulse, and then begins to check Lace over. After a few minutes Carlisle turns to face me and Jasper.

"Has she had anything besides food today?" he asks.

I look back at Jasper to find his features were still hardened, but now it seemed like he blamed himself for this.

Jasper nods slowly as he says "Yes. Some medication, she said it was for a illness she has, said it was life treating, but not cancer".

"I need you to bring me the medication. I'm going to have to take her in to hospital. There I'll know for certain what's wrong her" tells us.

Jasper nods as he says "What do you thinks wrong?".

Carlisle sighs as he says "Not to get you all worried, but I think she's been poisoned".

I stood ink shock, my features undoubtedly filled with horror from what we'd been told. How could this have happened? Who would want to poison Lace? Well, besides her uncle, but there was know one else I could think of out side prison that would want to hurt Lace.


A/N - I think I did better on Sirius' point of view. Any way I hope you liked this chapter. I tried so hard on this chapter. Please READ and REVIEW. Please.
