Do not read this chapter if you haven't gotten to the end of New Moon!

This is Alice's POV from the events right before she heads to Volterra. This is also mostly about her and Haven, witch a little bit about her finding out about Amber.

So, if Alice and Haven being together bothers you then you shouldn't read this, or Safe and Sound. They're one of my favorite couples.

Alice looked at a photo of Amber, frowning. It was one she had never seen before. Something seemed very off about it. Amber looked very different, as did Bella who was in the picture with her. Amber's eyes were more like ice than the fire that used to be in them. Bella's eyes seemed to be dead, but a little bit more light was showing. Her smile seemed a bit forced but she was curled up to Amber's side, watching a horror movie together. "Why is this only up now? To remember her more?"

The sound of a car approaching the house pulled her out of her contemplation. She could smell Bella's scent, as well as a wolf. It was most likely Jacob but the smell was repulsive. His scent was also hiding another feminine scent, one that was familiar but she couldn't place. A car door opened, a voice calling out to the others.

"You two take your time."

Alice frowned, wondering if her broken heart was making it sound like Amber. Alice stayed sitting on the couch, looking towards the entryway. What she saw made her feel insane. She wasn't having another vision, was she? Amber was standing before her, looking unharmed. Well mostly, she could see some vampire bite marks littering parts of her visible skin. Before Alice even had a chance to talk, Amber was yelling out in Latin.

"Kembe Po Transi."

Alice quickly rose up off the couch, "Amber?! What the- How are you alive?"

Amber glared at her, crossing her arms. "It doesn't matter how I'm alive. What matters is why the fuck you're here." Alice could see she wouldn't get anything out of Amber right now. Alice could feel a headache coming trying to see how Amber was alive. She changed the subject to her sister, she needed to know if she was also dead. "Bella! She's dead, right? I saw her fall to her death."

Amber scoffed, looking away. "Bella's fine."

Bella was alive? How? She saw Bella jump off that cliff and she didn't see anyone saving her. Alice frowned, walking towards her. She wanted to talk to her more, figure out what really happened. Jasper needed to know Amber was alive. He was miserable and she was afraid he was going to try to kill himself. She was then repelled by a barrier, frowning. "Amber?"

Amber continued to glare at her, "Stop talking to me! The only reason you're not dead is because Bella is going to be here any second. She wouldn't want to see your ashes on the carpet."

Alice stepped back, her hand over her heart. "Amber... what?" Amber loved Alice, they were best friends. They had been since the week they started high school together. Alice loved Amber and would never hurt her. Now, Amber wanted to kill her. Something major happened to Amber and she needed to find out what. Alice's attention was then drawn to someone else running inside the house. She could smell that it was Bella before she even saw her.

"Alice!" Bella ran inside and went to hug her only she was also repelled by the barrier. She turned to Amber and frowned. "Amber! Drop it!"

Amber was visibly seething at Alice. "I don't think so, Bella. Do you know why I came back in the first place? I was sent to kill the Cullens." Bella placed her hand over her mouth, tears coming to her eyes.

Alice was just as appalled "What?" She knew Amber loved them all. She would never hurt any of them. What the hell happened to her? She wanted to kill her family, she was covered with bite marks and seemed different than normal.

Amber ignored Alice, looking at Bella. "I've been killing monsters like her since my aunts found me, Bella. I wasn't even supposed to stay in Forks. I was going to find something to track them down with, follow them and kill them. I saw you and how awful you were doing after they left you. I couldn't just leave you and Charlie alone to deal with that. So, I stayed." She looked up at Alice, seeing venom tears falling down her cheeks. "Now one of them showed up on my doorstop. How nice."

Alice was indeed crying, venom tears falling down her porcelain cheeks. Amber's aunts must have done something to her. They had her killing 'monsters' and she wasn't ever going to come back to Forks? Amber was still planning on killing her?

Bella cried as she turned to Alice. "They brainwashed her, Alice. She doesn't remember anything in the past three years. She doesn't even remember Jasper."

Amber turned to her sister and frowned, "Bella, please, shut up! She doesn't need to know what's happened to me."

Alice put the clues together, feeling her own anger boiling. Her aunts didn't just kidnap her and fake her death, they brainwashed her! No wonder Amber was so different. They turned her into a killing machine, hiding her memories of everyone that loved her besides Bella and her father. She didn't even remember Jasper... Oh god. Jasper! Alice put her hand on the barrier, "Amber, we can find someone to undo it to you. Please. You and Jasper are soul mates. You're alive, there's no reason for either of you to be in pain now. Can't you feel it? That pain deep in your soul?"

Amber growled and moved her hand. Alice able to feel the magic in the room again. "I have to go to the hospital; our friend is dying if you've forgotten Bella."

Bella turned to Amber and then went to hug Alice. "I'm staying."

Alice hugged Bella close, looking over at Amber worriedly. She was immensely glad that Bella was alive and safe, but Amber wasn't. Amber seemed to be losing her mind in front of her.

Amber glared at them. "Of fucking course. Selfish, bitchy Bella is back. Please, ignore everyone else again for the abusive Cullens. I'll just kill her when I get back. It's not like she can leave." She turned and walked outside, slamming the door behind her.

Alice winced as she heard Amber scream once she was outside. She turned to Bella, checking her over. "Bella, what happened to you? I saw you jump from that cliff!"

Bella frowned, placing her hands on Alice's shoulders. "I needed to do it, Alice... I saw Edward when I was in danger. Amber was there with me. She was going to save me but Jacob beat her to it." She sat on the couch, frowning.

Alice sat beside her, frowning as well. "So, Amber's aunts brainwashed her..."

Bella nodded, hugging herself. "Yes... When she showed up our dad fainted, I nearly had a heart attack." She frowned even more. "She really doesn't remember anything before high school. Her aunts erased all of it. She gets pissed whenever someone mentions how much she loved you all, especially Jasper. Though lately I've noticed she's been acting a bit different about that... I think she's wondering about why. I think she still loves him deep down, she may not realize it but she can feel the pull."

Alice nodded, "It makes sense. They wouldn't be able to hide that from her... Amber and Jasper were so in love it would take an act of heaven to erase their bond... I can even feel the pull to my mate."

Bella looked up at her, shocked. "You can? Have you met them yet?"

Alice shook her head, "No. She's close though." She smiled at her, touching her shoulder. "I'm glad you're safe Bella." She sighed softly, "I'm sorry I never responded to you. I knew you needed me. Edward banned us all from contacting you. At first Jasper wanted to, since you're his last connection to Amber... but he went into a dark place not long after."

Bella shook her head, hugging Alice. "It's alright. Amber and Jake helped me through it all. I'm just glad you're here."

Alice heard someone else drive up to the house, someone she's never met before. She didn't recognize her scent at all but it smelled wonderful. It was like incense, the smell of snow and rain. She then realized it was another witch, she could feel the magic around the house rippling. She felt the magic pulse loudly before there was nothing around her. Alice figured the barrier spell Amber put up was just broke by another witch. Alice quickly ran outside using her vampire speed, peeking around the edge of the house. She could just see a young woman, entering the house. She could just make out a flash of brilliant red hair before she was gone. Before Alice could run into the forest, her heart seemed to ache in her chest. She quickly ran into the forest as she felt a flash of visions entering her mind.

She saw images of the woman sitting on a bed, reading a book in her lap. Alice then plucked the book out of her hands, laying it to the side. She then kissed her, playing with her fiery hair.

The woman and Alice were hand in hand, shopping together. Alice was looking at outfits for the woman, while the other looked half-interested. She only seemed to looking at Alice, not caring about the clothes unless she didn't like them.

Alice and the woman were laying under the sheets, kissing and running their hands over the other.

Alice saw herself and the woman were standing at the altar, grinning at the other with such love in their eyes.

Alice's eyes focused back on the tree she was in, gasping. She just found her mate. That witch that broke Amber's spell was her mate. Haven Storme. The name that has haunted her since her awakening as a vampire.

Alice had already heard Bella go to sleep. Not long after, Alice could hear Amber and Charlie enter the house. Charlie quickly went to bed but Amber went inside, to the same room Alice heard Haven stay in. She listened in to their conversation, not wanting to eavesdrop but she wanted to know more about what happened.

"Haven."

"That vampire left before I could even see them. Are you alright? The Coven sent me because we were worried."

"Fine."

"Amber. You're not fine."

"Did you fake my death?"

Haven sighed softly before answering her, "Yes... Katrina and Serena said we had too, the Cullens weren't going to stop looking for you. We wanted you to be safe."

Alice frowned, leaning back against the tree trunk. Haven was one of the witches that faked her death... but she said Katrina and Serena made them. It was to keep Amber 'safe' from the Cullens. So, it wasn't just Amber that the leaders of the coven lied to, it was the entire coven.

"Did you know they also took my memory? Three years. They took three years of my memories, Haven."

"We'll fix this. I promise... I didn't know..."

Alice felt better that Haven felt bad and was going to help Amber. She knew Haven was a good person but she didn't know that much about her. Her visions didn't focus much on details about her.

"I know... But I can't go back to them, Haven. They've hurt me too much."

"Of course, You don't have too. I'll say I couldn't find you... How about I try a spell from my family's grimoire? It's helped restore memories before."

Alice smiled, feeling her heart warm up at the thought. Haven was doing her best to make it up to Amber, even protecting her from the coven she was a part of. She did hope Haven would leave them too.

"Really?"

"Yeah. It usually takes some time for it to work. The brain is a delicate thing." Haven walked over to another area of the room, hearing rustling. "Perfect." She walked back to Amber. "All I need you to do is stay calm and keep your eyes closed."

"Thank you, Haven. You've always been my friend."

Haven lit a candle before she began chanting softly in Latin. She did this for about two minutes before stopping. "Feeling okay?"

"Yeah... just really drained... Will you stay?"

"Of course."There was some more movement, people changing.

"Thank you..." She heard them both get in the bed, both quickly falling asleep.

Alice sighed softly as she listened to the sound of her mate breathing slowly. "At last I found you..."

{X}

Alice waited until Charlie left, saying something about visiting Harry in the hospital, before she approached the house. She stood outside, listening to the three women talking together.

Bella: "I'm sorry I've been so awful about this whole thing... You've been conditioned to kill vampires. I only made it worse."

Amber: "It's alright Bella..."

Haven: "So why was... Alice? Why was she here?"

Bella: "She had a vision and saw me dive off a cliff and die. Only I didn't die, Jacob saved me. She can't see me when I'm with the wolves... something about a blind spot."

Haven: "Oh. Okay. So, are we leaving the Cullens alone?"

Amber: "All except for Edward. He made them leave, he's the one who hurt Bella so ruthlessly. He's the one who kept them away from Bella, like he owns her. That's bullshit. He's a bastard. I'm not going to kill him but I'm going to make him wish he was."

Alice smirked as she walked inside, walking into the living room doorway. "I for one can't wait."

Haven turned and stared at her like she was the most beautiful thing she's ever seen, only that's the way Alice felt about her. Haven's heart began racing when she saw the dazzling smile Alice was giving her. "Oh. Who's this?"

Alice moved over next to her, holding out her hand. "I'm Alice. It's nice to finally meet you. Gosh, you're so gorgeous."

Haven blushed and shook her hand, "You too. I don't even think it's a vampire thing. You're just beautiful."

Alice grinned at her, sitting beside her. "Thank you. Your hair is so lovely."

Haven gently brushed at her hair with her fingers, "Really?"

Alice nodded happily. "I have a thing for redheads." She giggled at the blush she caused. Alice was getting lost in Haven's beautiful blue eyes until she heard a door open, the foul stench of wolf overcoming Haven's beautiful smell. Jacob rushed into the room, staring at Alice and glaring.

Amber tried to calm him down, "Jacob, everything's fine, I promise." Amber then turned to Alice and Haven, "How about you two go up to Bella's room?"

Alice nodded, looking away from the wolf. She stood up, holding out her hand to Haven. "Madam." Haven smiled softly at her, following her upstairs. Alice held the door open for Have, shutting it gently behind them. "I know you must not like me being here... I heard how Amber wanted to kill my entire family."

Haven sighed, sitting on Bella's bed. "I'm over that. When I heard Amber say our coven did all this to her... I'm not going back. I'm not going to be a part of a coven like that. I don't appreciate them lying to me."

Alice smiled, sitting beside her. "I'm glad."

Haven nodded, smiling at her. "Me too. I already feel better. The two leaders were suffocating. I felt like they were just wanting out power, but I couldn't be sure."

Alice nodded, placing her hand over Haven's. "Usually the worst people are the best at acting like the best."

Haven looked up at her, "I don't think that applies to you. You seem like a genuinely nice person, Alice... Not at all like the vampires I've dealt with before."

Alice smiled at her, feeling so much better Haven didn't hate her just because she was a vampire. "Thank you. My family and I are vegetarians as we call it. We drink animal blood instead of human blood. It lessens our blood thirst and our more animalistic behaviors."

Haven frowned, crossing her arms as she thought about her coven, already missing Alice's hand on her own. "They lied about that too. They said you were going to kill Amber, and us if they found us. That's why we did our best to hide her." She turned to Alice, noticing the faraway look in her eyes, "Alice?"

Alice shook herself out of her vision, looking terrified. "I need to talk to Bella." She grabbed her hand, running down the stairs at a human pace for Haven.

Jacob spit out her father's name, "Dr. Cullen."

Bella frowned deeply at him, "You should have let me talk to him!"

"He didn't ask for you-" He spotted Alice behind Bella, looking distraught.

Bella rushed over to Alice, Haven looking concerned behind her. "Alice, what's wrong?"

Alice looked at her and then at Amber. "Edward and Jasper..."

Bella frowned, holding her hand tightly. "What about them? What happened?"

Alice frowned, "I just saw them in a vision. Edward thinks you're dead, Bella... This pushed Jasper over the edge finally..."

Bella looked back at Jacob, "That was him calling, not Carlisle."

Alice nodded, squeezing her fists. "They're going to Italy, to the Volturi."

Bella looked at Jacob and then rushed up to her room to pack, Jacob on her heels. "We have to go stop them!"

Amber turned to the two in the room, "So I'm going too then. Bella's not walking into the lion's den without me."

Haven frowned at her, "Do you want me to come?"

Alice turned to her and frowned, gently rubbing her cheek. "No, sweetie. It's too dangerous." Haven was a very strong witch but not as strong as Amber. She would get hurt in Italy. Alice wouldn't be able to protect her, not at all. That terrified her and made her want to lock Haven away at the thought. So, she pleaded with her instead.

Amber shook her head, helping Alice "Can you stay here and make sure nothing happens to Charlie? And make sure my Coven thinks I'm not here."

Haven nodded, "Got it, I'll help you pack."

Alice nodded, getting on her phone to call her family. She was immensely glad Haven was staying in Forks, far away from Italy and the Volturi. She hung up when she saw Haven approaching her. "We need to get going."

Haven nodded, "I know. They're all talking out there and waiting."

Alice stepped closer, brushing her hair behind her ear. "I'll be back soon. Can we talk more then? I really want to get to know you more."

Haven blushed softly, nodding her head. "Of course." She placed a hand over Alice's, "Be safe."

Alice kissed her hand before dashing out the door. "I will!" Alice got in the car, right after Bella. She could see Amber was already in the back. She ignored Jacob looking distraught, trying not to be openly disgusted by his scent. She saw Bella putting on her seatbelt, placing her hand over hers to stop her. "Maybe Jacob's right. You need to realize. The Volturi could easily kill us all."

Bella yanked her seat belt into it's clip, ignoring her statement. "We're going."

Alice knew better to argue with a Swan when they were being so stubborn. "Alright." She quickly headed down the road, speeding when she knew there weren't any police around. She needed to get to Volterra now.
