A/N: Okay, okay- I know that I have my people freaked over the last chapter. I was sorry about it at first, but then I realized that it was a good thing; people are interested. I am very excited to continue now that I have acquired the attention of my readers.

Disclaimer: O Edward, Edward! Wherefore art thou Edward?

(He is in SM's head, because that is where Bella is)

"Why do you think that you aren't Alice anymore? What happens in the future that is taking away your love of life right now?"

Silence.

And, finally…

"In the future…" She stopped.

She had been looking to the ground again, but she took one glance to my eyes- and she held them with hers for several moments.

Then, she looked back to the ground.

"You die… Bella."



6. What's Up With Alice- Part II

"You die, and it is crystal clear; so clear that I know I can't do anything to stop it from transpiring. I have tried to see other alternatives. I have looked a lot deeper into your future this past night than I have ever- I think. All I see is your body lying there- unmoving. I-"

I wasn't paying Alice any attention. I was just standing here in front of her, shocked. My death was the last thing I expected to hear of. I began to wonder who would kill me. The only way to kill a vampire is to shred us to pieces and burn the parts- and only vampires or werewolves could do that. I was either family- or a friend- to all the vampires and werewolves that were close by. Who would do this to me? Who would be the one to take me away from all the people I love- forever? Forever. Who would be taking away the forever that I worked so hard to obtain? My forever.

"Who does it?"

"What?" Alice was in the middle of incoherent explanations when I asked her who would be the one to kill me. She was confused- as if I wouldn't be taken from my life by the hands of another.

"Who is going to kill me, Alice?" And then I realized that she said my body was unmoving. If I were dead, there wouldn't be a body; it would be burning- in pieces.

I was as I had found myself a lot today- confused.

"Oh, well, no one kills you, Bella…" Alice was looking very depressed- and confused, as she tried to answer my questions- many of them unspoken; I was sure that my gaze held many of the questions that I couldn't speak aloud because of my own overwhelming confusion.

"But, Alice… It has to be a someone who kills me. Vampires don't just drop dead without some heavy tearing or chewing involved- and let's not forget the gasoline and fire, too."

"I am… not sure… as to how- exactly… you die. All that I know, Bella, is that you do die, and that your powers are somehow involved?" She ended her statement as a question- more to herself than to me- I thought; it seemed that she wasn't even certain of what she was telling me, but she did want to tell me something so that I would have some clue as to what was going to happen to me.

I thought that I heard her murmur, "Or one of your powers…" But I couldn't be certain. I thought for a moment that it had something to do with why she didn't let me show her the last of my abilities earlier- the strongest one that I had, but I was only more confused with the thought- that couldn't be why…

"Alice, can we- please- just start from the beginning?" I was completely confused… And I let her know it. "I am completely lost, and there will have to be a new word invented and added to the dictionary to explain my confusion."

I saw that she was smiling, just a little, and then her face fell again- realizing that she is smiling when we are discussing my death.

"Why don't you start with what happens in the vision?" I suggested- trying to make things smoother for the both of us- but mainly for Alice; I could see that this was very difficult for her- discussing my death, but I needed to know. "Tell me everything that you saw, starting from the beginning."

She looked at me for a moment, thinking. I wondered what could be working in her head; I could practically see the wheels turning- measuring me to see if I could handle what she was about to say…

"Well, when I said that the vision of your death was clear- I meant it, but other parts of the vision- the ones before you die, and after- are a little fuzzy. Just like with any of my visions, there are some things I can't see as clearly as others- things that are affected by changes in someone's plans."

She looked at me and I nodded for her to continue; she must have thought I would break down into tearless sobs at any moment, but I wasn't going to do that- for some reason.

"At the beginning of my vision, I saw you walking- it was a clear evening- nearing the hours of twilight. It was at the end of fall, and most of the trees were completely barren because they had lost all of their leaves.

"You were walking alone- at human speed- down a path in some unfamiliar woods. You were looking for something- or someone. After an hour, you came across a very large tree that had fallen and was leaning against an abandoned barn. You found it then- the thing or person that you were looking for; that was when the vision started to blur- fading in and out of clarity. The only clear thing that I saw was you; throughout most of the vision, you were the only constant clarity.

"What makes me think that you were looking for a person was the fact that after you went and crouched by the fallen tree, you seemed to be talking. I couldn't hear the words because that was a part of the vision that was fuzzy; it was all muffled up. Your expression was one of desperation- like you were trying to get whomever- or whatever- you found to do something.

"But I still don't understand- if it was such a big deal, something of urgency- why were you walking for an hour at human pace trying to find… whatever you were looking for?"

She seemed to be asking me, but I had no clue. Alice knew more than I did. She seemed to notice that I had no answer for her, so she continued…

"You weren't talking for very long; something distracted you. You were turning in the opposite direction- still in a crouch- only the crouch you were in deepened into an attacking pose. Something- or someone- was there that you didn't expect to be there. You were ready to attack at any moment- if, or when the time came.

"You stayed crouched like this for a few moments- until you were sure that no one and nothing was going to interfere at any time soon, and then you turned back around.

"But the second you were off your guard, something jumped from all sides- cornering you. Something flew at you from the roof of the barn, the trees that you had just been watching, both sides of you, and from inside the barn.

"I don't know how I know this, but Bella, I think that they were all vampires; the way they moved makes me think that they could be nothing other than."

I considered this for a moment. It wouldn't be any of the family vampires attacking me, so it must be some visitors. We don't get many visitors here, but when we do- they aren't always pleasant. I let my mind wonder off to James, Victoria, Laurent… Irina… The Volturi… I shuddered at this. Even after a year, the mere mention of the Volturi had me shaking with not only fear, but disgust.

The Volturi weren't like us; they didn't survive on the blood of animals- not many vampires did. But the Volturi like death and destruction too much for it to be easy on anyone. They were a part of the reason that I became a vampire. They came to try and destroy us last year…

Fortunately they had failed.

I began to wonder- if the Volturi were to show up right now- could I take them on? Would I be able to defeat them on my own so that we would never have to worry about their interference ever again?

I smiled at the thought that, maybe I could.

I was, after all, probably one of the most talented vampires in existence.

At the time, I didn't know that there was none more powerful than me.

"So what happened next?" I asked Alice.

"Well," She began, "I am not sure what happened when they all charged at you. The entire vision went black like I was watching a movie screen, and then it came back on a little later.

"I saw you standing in an open field, but this time you weren't alone. Edward, Emmett, Jasper… Rose… and I were all there too. I am not really sure if Carlisle and Esme were there- or any of the wolf pack, for that matter- because I was only seeing a front view. It was like a picture taken of only the six of us; I didn't even see the things that had attacked you in the earlier vision.

"You and… Rose… were standing in front of the rest of us by several meters; you were holding hands. Edward was in the far back with Emmett and Jasper, and I was… I was curled up in a fetal position on the ground… rolling back and forth…"

Alice stopped there, thinking, for a few moments before continuing…

"I was watching whatever was in front of you and… Rosalie" I wondered why Alice was taking a pause before saying Rosalie's name every time she said it; it seemed odd. I thought back to this morning- not even three hours earlier- to when Renesmee was asking where "Auntie Rosie" was, and Alice was the only one to answer with a sure answer… I thought how it seemed that Alice knew something about Rosalie that was outside Alice's ability to see the future…

"I don't know what I saw in front of you two, but it was definitely scary, by the look on my face, and the way I was rocking on the ground... And I was wearing my new hip-huggers, too; the ones with the laces going down the thighs and-"

"Alice, can't the wardrobe destruction included in the vision wait until later?" I asked her with a huge smile; I knew that there was still an Alice in there somewhere…

"I cannot believe you said that, Bella. I mean, I know you aren't into fashion as much as I was, but those were really great jeans…" My smile increased- even though she referred that she was a 'fashionista' instead of is one.

"Alright," She said- shaking off my remark about her beloved fashion-love. "I saw that yours and Rosalie's faces were the only ones that seemed confident and sure out of all of us I the field. It seemed that you were both expecting what was in front of you and that you were ready to take it head-on." Alice seemed to drift into thinking again, and then she continued.

"This was another point when the vision cut off to black; all I saw was the six of us standing around- or sitting and rocking, if you want to include me… I was the only one moving. It really was just like a still-shot except for me…

"And then the next thing I knew, everyone was surrounding your lifeless body- you were still holding… Rosalie's hand, but for all I know- she could have just picked it up after you… died."

Alice was really quiet and sad again.

It truly was awful to see her that way….

Then it occurred to me- there was still one last question that I needed to ask Alice…

"Well… Alice, I do have one more question…" I drifted off, wondering if she would hear my question and answer it. She was still looking like she just got hit by a bus- all the pain in her face, but it vanished with her reply:

"Of course you do. What is it?" She said while rolling her eyes.

"Well… I was wondering… umm… you have been sort-of… pausing… before you say Rosalie's name. I was wondering why…" I wasn't sure exactly how to word my question; I wasn't sure what Alice's reaction or response would be.

"I had a vision about ten minutes before you came to the house this morning. I was still shaken from the visions that I had had earlier, and this one hit me full force…

"But there are some things that need to be cleared up before I tell you about it…

"Bella, I am not sure why you and Rosalie were holding hands in the field in the earlier vision- I am still watching the future, trying to get more information.

"What I do know, however, is that you and Rosalie have become closer since you had Renesmee. Everyone has seen the change between the way she was to you back when you were human, and the way she acts towards you now. I think you know why she changed so much; she used to be upset at you because you wanted to be like us- without experiencing things like marriage and having children and living to be old…

"But you married Edward. And then you had Renesmee; Rosalie felt that at least you did those things before you were changed- and she couldn't be happier that you let her be so close to Renesmee, like she is her other mom- though she knows the boundary there.

"But nothing- not even living vicariously through you- could give Rosalie the same satisfaction that she would get if she were still human… Or if she were human again…" Alice said the last part with meaning.

A lot of meaning.

But I was still so confused. Why all the pauses before her name? Seeing my confused facial expression- again, for what seemed like the millionth time today- Alice continued:

"Rosalie would give anything to be human again, Bella; you know that, but what if she didn't have to give anything… What if Rose was just in the right place at the right time…"

Alice let this information linger in me for a few moments…

Impossible, was all I could think.

Impossible.

"So, what… you are saying is that… Rose… is… is going to… be…" I trailed off. I couldn't even think the words, let alone speak them. I was shocked. These thoughts were shocking. It couldn't happen…

It was impossible.

Alice knew this, but still she spoke the words that I couldn't…

"Rosalie is going to be turned into a human again."


A/N: I believe that there will be one more chapter to this part of the story. I will update as soon as I can- maybe tomorrow, if I get the chance

So, how am I doing??? Do you like the direction this is going???
