Chapter 3: Too late
Alice's POVYESSSSSS!
I get to see my best friend and sister again. I can't wait to get home. I hope she forgives us for listening to Edward. He was such a jerk for leaving her, just for her protection he said. Seriously, I'm gonna rip that boy a new asshole the next I see him.
"Honey, could you please stop with the roller coaster ride of emotions your on?" asked my Jazzy bear from beside me. We were in our room in Denali packing to go back home. I truly felt sorry for Jazz, he has had these past few months worst then any of us. Not only did he have to put up with his own misery but all of ours along with it.
"Sorry, babe I'm just excited to see Bella again" I apologised. I was just starting to calm down when a thought hit me.
I CAN PLAY BARBIE BELLA AGAIN!
And then that set off a whole new set of emotions. Jasper groaned and opened his mouth to say something but was cut off by Emmett.
"Come on, you too. We're all ready. Get your Asses down here. You can have celebratory sex later" He boomed from down stairs. But a sharp slapping sound and the words "Ow rosie" swiftly followed.
Me and Jasper laughed, gathered our suitcases and ran down the stairs into the living room too see both couples, we indeed already there.
Just as we started making plans of who does what when we get to forks, I felt my self get pulled into a vision.
A room. A dark, cold granite room. As I looked around, a sense of déjà vu settled upon me. I knew this room but where from ?
I herd a noise, no not a noise. Someone screaming. I took another look around the room before my eyes rested on a small, pale-white human writhing in pain in the middle of the room.
She screamed and wriggled clutching at her neck. It was only when she moved her hand to clutch her chest that I saw them. Teeth marks. I was shocked but not as shocked as when the human turned over.
Bella. Isabella swan was laying in the middle of this room turning into a vampire and we weren't their.
"Make it stop, please stop the burning" she half sobbed half screamed out. I feel my heart clench and venom pool in my eyes for tears that I could never shed as I herd my sister scream in agony.
I sat there for a few more seconds, hearing her pleas for death and for someone to stop the burning, before I noticed a small black bored behind Bella. It read…
Hello
I hope you can see this in time but to put a long story short. Bella was bitten. A bloodsucker came looking for you but found Bella. He decided she would be his snack. And lets say he left his meal unfinished. Now she is changing. I suggest that you come and help her because is she attacks one of us when she wakes. She will die.
No, no, no. This couldn't happen. By the looks of it she was already quite a way into her change. Her eyes were slightly red, her skin was a paler white than it used to be and facial features were filling out to make her look more like a women.
It became clear to me then that she was in the Quetilute confinement chamber we had helped them build last year.
Just as I was pulled out of the vision, the last things I saw and heard was Bella look strait at me and whisper brokenly "Help me".
"No" I choked out, tears in my eyes.
"Alice, what is it?" Carlisle asked concern clouding his voice.
I opened and closed my mouth a few times but no sound came out.
"Alice, honey, speak to me. Look at me" Jasper cooed soothingly in my ear but, unlike and other time, it had little effect on me.
As I moved out from under Jaspers grasp, I looked around the room. Emmett and Rosalie were opposite me on the other side of the room, Carlisle and Esme were sitting on the sofa to my left with Carlisle leaning slightly forward in anticipation. Then there was Jasper sitting adjacent to them where I left him.
As recollections of my vision came back to me I started to pace.
"Alice, What is it? Tell us already" whined Emmett like a small school child. As tradition Rosalie hit him round the back of his head with the usual complaints asking what he had done wrong. Any other time that would have made me laugh, but not now. I felt more like crying than laughing. We had just decided to get our sister back and she might already be torn for our reach.
"Bella" was all I said. It was all I needed to say. Everyone in the room became a statue, nobody made a sound.
"What happened?" Carlisle asked tensely.
"Oh, god Carlisle, her screaming. She was screaming so much." My voice breaking on the last few words.
My words were meet by more silence, which I took as a sign that is should carry on.
"Someone found her. He tried to kill her but the wolves scared him off. But not before h-he" I stuttered "bit her" I choked out with a tearless sob.
"What do we do now?" asked Emmett pulling us all from the deafening silence.
"We have to be there when she comes around. She will be confused and angry and will need our help" said Carlisle such a manner of authority, no-one dare go against him.
"Yes, I agree. She'll need us there" Jasper concurred.
"Ok, but we have a problem. She is being held in the Quetilute confinement chamb-." I started to say when Emmett butted in.
"That shouldn't be a problem. That wouldn't want a newborn on their hands." He laughed heartily.
"No" I continued. "But the problem is they left a note. Saying if when Bella woke she attacked any of them, they would kill her" Annoyance and anger clear in my voice and on my face.
"No" my family growled in unison.
But I ignored them and carried on.
"And Bellas already about 66-68 hours into her transformation. We wouldn't make it in time." I finished telling them with my head bowed in defeat. I was going to lose my sister.
"I think me, Jasper, Emmett and Alice should run ahead, and then Esme and Rose can sort out the hospital and everything else yes?" Carlisle asked us all. We all nodded.
"Who's going to tell Edward?" Esme asked, speaking for the first time.
Everybody looked at each other nervously. Nobody had even thought about Edward and how he would take this.
"How can we tell him he wont even answer his phone?" Rosalie stormed.
"But he has to know" Esme replied flatly.
"I can make him listen. Pass you phone, please Jazz?" I asked nicely.
He complied immediately. I opened the phone and scrolled down to Edwards name. After my forth attempt to contact him, I started to get pissed. On the fifth, I lost it. As Edwards phone went to answer machine, I left a message.
"You listen to me Edward Anthony Masen Cullen, the whole world doesn't revolve around you. Something has happened and if you don't get to the house soon. I will track you down, rip your arms off and throw them in the sea. Then laugh while you try and find them." I warned.
"He wont come back or ring" scoffed Rosalie.
"Just wait." I growled back at her, staring intently at the phone.
I counted down mentally. 6, 5, 4, 3, 2, 1….
And the phone started to ring.
