Chapter 42 – The Secrets We Keep

Alice's POV:

I watched as he turned to pick his prey, he ran at full speed catching it in his arms, snapping the neck quickly, draining the blood of the animal that was now completely lifeless.

How perfect he looked, how perfect every single movement was. I had finished with mine, and I was completely full up; so I stood watching in awe over my husband feeding.

He noticed my gaze and was immediately by my side, he snaked his arms around my waist pulling me up for a kiss. I could see in his eyes, he was hungry for passion. I couldn't help but giggle; I loved it when Jazz was like this. As he placed his warm yet cooling lips to mine, a vision took over me.

***VISION***

I could see my family; they were all in the house but all of a sudden.

Nothing, absolutely nothing, like everything just disappeared.

***VISION***

Jazz, stiffened at my side instantly. As he shook me, I came back to reality; of course he sensed my distress and my worry.

"Alice, honey what's wrong? What did you see?"

"Nothing. Absolutely nothing"

I barely said above a whisper he grabbed my hand and started to run, I was caught in some sort of daze, was someone going to do something to me and my family? I snapped out of it and continued to run alongside my husband. I was pushing as fast as my legs could carry me, I was scared the only time I had been scared was all those years ago. No. I had brought myself not to think of anything of that night, to stop the pain from sinking back within me.

As we approached the river it instantly became closer and closer I could hear voices within the house, they weren't hurt, they were safe. But for how long?

I eased my speed; Jazz recognized this and did too. Hand in hand we leapt the river together as one.

We stopped running and decided just to walk into the house instead, we weren't going to come home until tomorrow but the vision scared me too much just to risk it. It didn't take long for us to reach the back of the house.

"Tag your, it"

I pecked Jazz on the cheek and ran slowly inside through the kitchen.

"Your mistaken M'am I believe you are it"

He brought his arms around me twirling me and tickling me at the same time, I couldn't help but laugh at the top of my lungs, how in love with this man was I.

"Jazz!"

He was now kissing my cheek; I couldn't help but move my lips to his. Smiling as I pulled away, leaving him wanting more, I heard a cough behind us. I quickly swivelled around to face the owner of the cough.

I froze to the core.

"Ali. Alice"

Jazz tried shaking me but it didn't work this time, he must of looked up too noticing that my whole family was stood there.

I must be dead, my family must be dead. It happened sooner than I expected it too, we were all dead and I couldn't have stopped it. I sunk to my knees, I couldn't let it go. I was dead.

Silence rang out, nothing apart from a hummingbirds wings, everyone was staring at me, like I was mad... well I was no one could personally doubt that. I looked up once again and another cry escaped the clutches of my throat. I didn't want this to happen, it's been roughly about 100 years since that night, that nightmare of a night. The night millions of people lost their lives to the sea, the night where I lost my sister. Bella.

I had just about finally managed to forget about my pain, to move on with my family all except Edward of course, I knew he would never be able to move on, as I scanned the room, he was stood in the front door frame with the door wide open.

*I'm sorry Edward; I could have stopped everyone from dying. I was too late.*

He looked puzzled but it was mixed with a little humour and so much love all at once, now i was the one who was defiantly confused. I felt two arms wrap around me from behind me, pulling me to my feet, I turned slowly and came to Jazz's chest.

I sobbed uncontrollably into it; every ounce of pain came back to me, every single memory. It hurt so badly.

"Alice"

Came from around about where she stood. I couldn't stop my body from turning back around; I found the two brown eyes of the owner of the voice. Everyone's gazes were still locked on me, without thinking I took a small step forward as I did this Jazz slowly released me fro/.m his grasp letting me move inches towards my own flesh and blood. My dead sister.

"Alice"

She repeated, she sounded she was as shocked as me to be honest I think she was handling this much better than me. Once again my feet took another inch forward, surprisingly she just and straight into my grasp.

"Bella"

I whispered, I couldn't control my sobs by now she pulled me to her chest like she usually did when we were younger. I held her close too scared to let go, afraid that she'll leave me as she did all those years ago.

"You're not dead Alice"

Edward muttered from the doorway, his voice sounded like he wasn't only trying to convince me, but him; himself.

I looked up to my sister then to him, then round to my family, we had to be dead right? Otherwise Bella wouldn't be here? She put both hands onto my arms pealing me away from her, it hurt a bit it was like she was rejecting me.

"Alice honey, you're thinking you're dead right?"

I just simply nodded, she sighed lightly.

"You're not dead, Jasper isn't dead, the rest of your family isn't dead and I'm not dead"

I just starred at her in utter shock, I knew when she spoke, she spoke the up most truth. She never did have a good enough reason to lie, plus she could never act. That's when it all clicked.

She was alive. My sister was alive and here with me.

There was one question that kept repeating itself within my mind, how was this entirely possible? She hadn't changed much at all she looked a little thinner, but other than that she was her normal 17 year old self. I could hear the humming bird's wings, I had located the humming bird to be Bella, it was her heart; and she smelled human too; what on earth was going on?

"I missed you so much"

She silently whispered into my ear, that's when more sobs erupted my throat.

"I missed you too; the thought of you dead was absolutely..."

I just couldn't finish that sentence; at all. Bella tightened her grip on me even more, if it was possible.

"Bella"

Edward's voice was filled with devotion and longing; I knew he didn't want to interrupt us; but I knew of the pain he had been through; he just wanted his Bella back.
