Smallville at Twilight

Chapter 4

"What," I gasped in shock. "What do you mean he joined the Volturi?"

"What does it sound like?" Rosalie hissed at me. "It means he joined the Volturi. And it's your entire fault."

"Rosalie," Alice sighed. "You know that's not exactly what happened."

"He wouldn't have gone there in the first place if it weren't for her. Hell we would still me a family if it weren't for her." Rosalie shot back.

"Can someone—please—explain to me why he did it?" I shouted.

"Maybe you should sit down, Bella." Jasper suggested.

I did as Jasper said and sat down. Alice and Jasper followed and sat down at the love seat.

"Why did Edward join the Volturi?" I demanded.

"He didn't join voluntarily," Alice explained. "One of the vampires there, Chelsea, has a power. One that will make you…I don't know…bond you to someone. Make you loyal to them to someone else."

"And she used it on Edward." I realized.

"Yeah." Alice continued. "Aro liked Edward's ability, to be able to hear someone else's thoughts from afar. He liked that and he wanted Edward. So he got Chelsea to use her ability on him. NAd well…you get the point." She concluded.

"But why was Edward there in the first place?" I asked.

"You know how I mentioned that my visions about how I haven't been able to see you," Alice asked. I nodded. "We thought you were dead."

"What?" I squealed out.

"Um…Yeah." Alice continued. "Not one of my brightest moments. So Rosalie told Edward—"

"Hey!" Rosalie protested.

"Well," Emmett said. "you did spill the beans on that one. And we weren't even one hundred percent sure she was dead."

"He had the right to know!" Rosalie yelled. "Am I the only one who saw that!" Then she got up and ran out of the room. Well I assumed she ran because one second she was there and the next she wasn't.

I heard Jasper sigh quietly.

Emmett got up, "I'll go after her." He volunteered. Then he was gone.

"Anyways," Alice continued. "Rosalie told Edward and he went to kill himself—"

"To kill himself!" I shouted.

Alice sighed and leaned against Jasper for support. "Am I ever going to get to finish this story?"

"Sorry." I whispered, "Continue."

"—because Edward couldn't live without you. So he went to join you. And…uh…I got a vision about it and went to go stop it. When I got there they had already gotten him on their side instead of what he wanted—death. They tried to convince me to join but I kept thinking of Jasper. I left Italy that night. Alone." She finished sadly.

"So it is all my fault." I murmured.

"Bella," Jasper warned.

"It's not your fault. It's my fault; my visions are all jumbled up these days." Alice sighed.

I felt so guilty right then. I think I knew why Alice hasn't been seeing me lately. Bart. Oliver. Chloe. Clark. And the rest of the team for that matter.

"Bella," Jasper asked with his eyebrows raised. "Why do you feel guilty?"

"It's 'cause," I stopped short. There was no way I could tell them. Not that I didn't want to. I had to keep Bart safe. Him and everyone else, "it's all my fault. It's because of me that your visions are so messed up lately." I sighed sadly.

Jasper didn't seem convinced but he didn't voice his concerns. And for that I was thankful.

"It was great seeing you all again," I said.

Alice hugged me, "Trust me, Bella, we're not going anywhere this time."

After that conversation, that still didn't even seem real to me, Alice had taken me on a tour of the house. It looks about the same as the one in Forks. Maybe a few differences here and there but if I didn't look hard enough it would seem like we were still in Forks. Well without Esme, Carlisle and…him. But I would see Esme and Carlisle soon. Alice said once they got back they would come and visit me and that they would love to meet Chloe and Jimmy.

Jasper never mentioned the fact that I had lied earlier.

I kept expect him to say it at any moment. Maybe he would mention it to Alice after I left. Or maybe he didn't even know I lied. Which seems impossible.

I know Jasper will bring it up to someone. Maybe me, maybe not. But he will bring it up. And that will have them asking me questions. Questions I'm sure that the team and I won't like.

IMPORTANT-

God I feel like a bad person. But I think I'm going to put this story on hold. I have the ideas for it but I'm having a hard time typing it out. I'm not sure how long this with be on hold— so I'm not asking anyone if they want to continue it—but I do know one day I will come back to it. I just don't know when that day will be. If you have any ideas about what should happen next then share them with me. I'm so sorry about this.
