CHAPTER 17

Disclaimer: SM owns it all.

Alice Point of View

Everything was spinning, one moment I was having my first fight with Bella, and the next I was dragged to the living room because the wolves decided to attack the Cullen family.

Right now I am witnessing how Emmett and Victoria are kicking the wolves asses I turn around looking for Bella and cant find her, she is probably fighting a wolf on her own. Carlisle and Esme come rushing to me.

"Alice, are you OK?" Esme asks me worriedly.

"I'm fine Esme, don't worry." I answer.

Suddenly a wolf rushes into the house and the other wolves stop the fight.

"What the hell?" Emmett demands.

"Yeah, why did you stop fighting? Afraid we can kick your ass?" Victoria asked them smugly.

The wolves' reaction was a loud growl from each one of them.

Jacob goes and returns a second later dressed in a pair of shorts.

"We are not afraid. I just decided to stop the fight, because my problem has been taken care of." Jacob responded smugly.

"What do you mean: your problem has been taken care of?" I ask him with a glare.

He smiles a sinister smile and answers, "Your Bella is gone!"

"That's NOT true!" I yelled at him.

"Care to explain me what is this?" He asks while handing me what looks like dust.

Carlisle and Esme let out gasps at seeing this.

"That's vampire dust." Carlisle answers.

My eyes widen at this. No! Bella can't be dead. I refuse to accept this. My vision starts to get blurry and I can feel myself shaking.

"That's not Bella. My love can't be dead!" I whimper as my tears starts flowing.

"She is dead Alice! She has been dead for over two centuries. I just finished the job." Jacob said with an evil glint.

"You son of a bitch!" Emmett screamed punching him on the ribs.

"You'll pay for this Leech!" Jacob screamed at him and in a second was in his wolf form again.

"Bring it on Fido." Emmett taunted him.

Jacob lunged at Emmett sending both of them towards the kitchen. You could hear pans, plates and glasses crashing. I cringed at this, because I knew that Emmett and Jacob were killing each other.

Victoria grabbed me and took me out of the way, before Emmett crashed with me.

After that, all of Jacob's pack appeared and they didn't look so happy, in fact, they looked ready to kill us all.

"Enough!" Jacob yelled at them. The pack instantly lowered their heads.

"The treaty will remain. We have taken care of the problem, so we don't have any quarrels with you. See you later."

One by one, the wolves left and Jacob gave me a lingering look. "You know where to find me Alice."

"I'll rather commit suicide than being with you." I told him coldly.

He looked taken aback with my response, but that's how I felt. How could I be with someone who had killed my love?

When the pack left, the rest of the family took off in the direction that Bella has gone to fight.

We got there and found what looked like a fire and some burnt clothes.

"These are Bella's clothes." I whispered.

"I can't believe it. He really did kill her." Victoria said in shock.

"That can't be! Bella is the strongest in our clan. She can't be dead!" Carlisle yelled in frustration.

"How else can you explain all this Carlisle?" Esme asked her husband with a crestfallen look on her face.

I was trying to stay strong and to believe that my Bella wasn't dead, but the facts spoke for themselves. My beautiful vampire was dead and the worst thing is that the last time I saw her we fought. I burst out into tears at my loss. The whole family went to hug me and together, we mourned our loss.

Beep.

Beep.

Beep.

My alarm was blaring from my nightstand. I didn't want to get up today, or any other day, for the rest of my life.

It's been a week since the fight with the wolves. After our episode in the forest, we all went back to the house and they decided not to tell anyone about Bella. Carlisle and Esme told me that I should say that we broke up and that Bella left to a Boarding school in Europe.

When I told my dad the cover story he asked me if he could shoot Bella, next time he saw her. I yelled at him and then stormed into my room. Things in school had been OK, for the most part anyway. Emmett and Victoria sit with my friends and me at lunch; and people have stopped gossiping about me.

The worst thing that has happened was that Jacob showed up at my house. He came with his dad to watch some game. My dad was happy, thinking, that Jacob and me could rekindle our friendship; how wrong he was. I kept throwing Jacob daggers through my eyes, he tried talking to me but I ignored him.

I tried going back to sleep, but it was futile. I rolled out of bed and went to the bathroom. I do my business and freshen up and went back to my room. As I was entering I saw a figure sitting on my chair.

"What? No kiss?" The figure said with a crooked grin.

"Bella?" I asked her astonished.

"My name is Isabella." She said with a glare firmly in place.

"I thought you were dead."

Isabella raised an eyebrow at my comment, "You know what I mean." I answer.

She appraised me with a look and slowly made her way towards me.

"Alice. My beautiful Alice." Isabella said with a gentle smile on her lips.

I burrowed my eyebrows, "How can this be? Jacob said that he killed you."

Isabella's glare returned and it was accompanied with a growl. "That filthy mongrel told you that he killed me?"

"He told us that Bella was gone."

Isabella let out a sinister smile, "That's true. Bella is gone. Siobhan helped me with that problem."

I widened my eyes at this information. I took a step back and Isabella noticed my movement.

"What's the matter Alice?" She asked me narrowing her eyes a little.

"I want to know what happened."

"Siobhan knocked Bella out and dragged her to a abandoned warehouse; then she performed a spell that allowed me to come back."

"Oh" I said lowering my eyes.

"Anything else?"

"What are you doing in here?" I asked her curiously.

"I'm here because I want to be with you." Isabella answered me.

"Say what?" I asked her astonished.

"You heard me! I want to be with you Alice. Bella wasn't the only one who fell in love with you." Isabella told me with adoration on her crimson eyes.

"You are playing with me. You can't be in love with me!" I said with conviction.

"I am not playing with you and yes I am in love with you. I thought I couldn't feel anything, that vampires couldn't have any kind of emotions. You proved me wrong Alice."

"I proved you wrong?" I asked her curiously.

"Yes. If it weren't for you I would be having sex with Siobhan. She is a wild cat in bed." Isabella told me with a far away look.

"Then go and have sex with her and leave me alone!" I yelled and turned around ready to leave my room.

"Don't get your panties in a twist Alice. What did you expect from a whore who has been alive for over 400 years. She really knows how to pleasure any man and woman." Isabella explained to me.

"I really don't care if Siobhan is a wild cat in bed. I want Bella back!" I yelled at her in frustration.

Isabella's face change into one of rage, "Get something in that head of yours. Bella is NOT coming back!"

"How can you be so sure?" I asked her trembling.

"I made sure that the pesky soul wouldn't bother me anymore." Isabella explained to me with a devious glint in her eyes.

Suddenly there was a loud crash and my door opened to reveal Jacob and he looked pissed.

"YOU!" Jacob said to Isabella who merely shrugged her shoulders.

"I thought you were gone! Siobhan told me she got rid of you." Jacob said confused.

Isabella straighten up and asked him, "What exactly di Siobhan told you?"

"She told me that Bella was gone." Jacob answered.

"Well…Bella is gone." Isabella explained to him.

Jacob burrowed his eyebrows in confusion and tilted his head to one side. "Then how come you're standing in front of me?"

"I am NOT Bella you piece of scum. My name is Isabella and I'm your worst nightmare. You see, when you made the deal with Siobhan you signed your own death." Isabella finished her little speech with a sneer.

"I can easily kill you." Jacob said with a cocky grin.

In a second, Isabella has Jacob pinned to the wall she is grabbing his balls and apparently, that's giving Jacob a lot of pain.

"You can kill me huh? Guess again boy!" Isabella taunted Jacob and then threw him trough the window. She followed after him and got in his face, "Don't even think in sending your pack mates after me. If you do, they will return to you in pieces. Did you know that shape shifter blood is one of the best?"

Jacob just glared at her and Isabella in return kicked him so hard that he flew 30 feet in the air.

"Well Ali its been fun and all but, its time for me to go. Until next time." In a second Isabella was gone.

I went to the window and Jacob was gone as well. I quickly grabbed my cellphone and dialed Victoria's number.

"Hey Alice."

"Victoria, we have a problem."

"What's wrong?"

"Bella is not dead. Apparently Jacob made a deal with Siobhan."

"What kind of a deal?"

"Well, she brought Isabella back and Bella is gone."

" "

"Victoria? Did you hear me?"

"Yes. Its just that…we are totally screwed if Isabella is back."

"Well, she didn't seem that bad to me."

"You saw her?"

"Yes."

"Stay in your house. Emmett and I are on our way."

Victoria didn't give time to say bye, she just hang up her phone. I shook my head and went to the kitchen to grab something to drink.

As I was finishing my drink the doorbell rang. I went to see who it was and opened the door to Emmett and Victoria.

"Where the hell is she?" Emmett's booming voice greeted me.

"She is hiding in my closet." I told him sarcastically.

"Really?" He asked me.

Victoria rolled her eyes at this, "Of course not. Aren't you familiar with sarcasm?"

Emmett rubbed the back of his neck, "Not really."

I let out a giggle at their conversation and they both turned their eyes at me.

"What happened Alice?" Victoria asked me worriedly.

"Isabella came to my room and told me a bunch of stuff."

"But wasn't Bella supposed to be gone?"

"Yes. It appears that Siobhan managed to make a spell that allowed Isabella to be free again. She told Jacob that she could get rid of Bella."

Victoria let out a snort at this, "The idiot bought that. What he didn't know was that with Bella gone. Isabella would be free and create mayhem and chaos."

"Victoria, is she really that bad?"

"Alice, Isabella was known as the Scourge of Europe. Siobhan and her would massacre entire villages, just because they thought it was fun."

"She is the worst of the worst and the stupid Mongrel had to screw everything up." Emmett commented.

"Isabella said that she wants to be with me." I whispered.

Both vampires shared a look at my comment. Victoria for her part had a confused look and Emmett didn't show any emotion.

"That's not possible. Isabella can't love anybody, it's not in her nature."

"How can you be certain?" I asked.

"Bella told me."

"Oh." I said with a defeated sigh.

"What are we going to do?" I asked them.

"We need to speak with the pack and explain the situation to them. Knowing Isabella, she will go to hunt in La Push and they are going to blame us." Emmett elaborated with a serious expression.

Victoria grabbed her cellphone and called Carlisle, they agreed to meet in the border of La Push.

"All right Alice lets go." Victoria said while grabbing my hand and taking me toward their car.

We climbed Emmett's Jeep and left toward La Push.

15 minutes later we were at the border and Carlisle and Esme were there waiting.

"Oh Alice!" Esme said rushing towards me to give me a hug.

"Esme! Don't worry I'm OK." I said to ease her fears.

"Must have been quite the shock seeing Bella again." Carlisle commented.

"You have no idea."

"Did you speak with Jacob?" Emmett asked Carlisle.

"Yes. He told me that we could meet right here."

"Did he tell you the time he was going to meet?" Esme asked.

"Not really."

"So we could be here for hours?" Victoria half yelled.

"Calm down baby."

Victoria was about to reply when they all stiffen. I turn around and see Jacob standing in the other side looking smug.

"Where is the rest of the pack?" Carlisle asked him.

"I ordered them to patrol as far away from here. They don't need to know about our meeting leeches."

"Have it your way then. We are here to discuss that we don't want to be held responsible if Isabella decides to feed in your land." Carlisle informed Jacob.

"She is a Cullen and if she decides to come here, then, the treaty is broken." Jacob said with a half smile.

"Yeah well, we are not the ones who brought Isabella back." Victoria informed Jacob.

Jacob raised his left eyebrow and asked, "What is this deal with Bella and Isabella. Aren't they the same person?"

"Bella wasn't like other vampires. When she was changed, she was known as Isabella. She was a ruthless killer and would cause mayhem everywhere she went. 150 years later we meet and I managed to get Isabella's humanity back in the form of a soul and that's how Bella came to be. Now, you made a deal with a vampire that wanted Isabella back and Bella gone."

"Well, she is still a vampire. We just need to kill her." Jacob said as a matter of fact.

Esme let put a snort at this, "You really think you can kill her? She is 265 years old. She is very strong and cunning. You are just a 16 years old teenager."

Jacob's smile dropped from his face at Esme's comment.

"Why would you want Bella gone?" I asked him.

"I already told you Alice! You shouldn't be with her. You should be with me."

"How many times do I have to tell you that I don't love you? I love Bella."

"Well according to the leeches she is gone. What's stopping you from being with me now that she is out of the way?"

"I don't know? Maybe the fact that YOU orchestrated with a vampire her demise!" I yelled at him.

Jacob was about to respond when he froze in his spot. We turned around and what we saw made my skin crawl.

Isabella was sitting in a wheelchair, in one arm, she had Billy and in the other, she had Rachel.

"Did you know that Native Americans are exquisite?" She told us with a little trail of blood in her chin.

Jacob let out a guttural growl and lunged at Isabella.
