CHAPTER 30
APOV
We were back in a forest just outside of Abbotsford, waiting for any sign of Bella and Rosalie. I sat on the grass and opened my mind searching for Rosalie. I knew her best, so I figured she would be easier to find. Edward walked into the clearing again. His pacing was driving me insane.
"Anything yet Alice?" he asked.
"I'm trying Edward. I can't see Rose at all," I grumbled.
"What about Bella?" he asked.
"I haven't seen her in days. What makes you think I will see her now?" I asked, searching for Bella in my mind.
Suddenly it was clear. Clear as crystal!! I saw her...oooo she is wearing great clothes. Definitely a vampire. She's hunting. Woods and trees and a stream pass by her as she approaches her prey. Without warning she pounces a mountain lion. She did it so neatly, it would put Edward to shame. Edward...
I opened my eyes and looked at him. He saw it too.
"Where Alice? Where is she?" he asked.
"Let me look," I said as I closed my eyes. My vision caught up to Bella again. She was dashing through the trees again. Running towards a house. I know that house.
"Rosalie and Emmett's Oregon house," Edward and I said together.
The others were hunting, waiting for a call. "I'll call Carlisle now Edward. Let's go. They can catch up," I told him.
We jumped into our rental car and sped off into the night. If Edward really pushed it we would be at Rosalie's house in under two hours. Reading my thoughts Edward pressed the gas pedal to the floor.
I picked up the phone and dialed Carlisle.
"Alice?" He asked.
"We found her Carlisle. She is at Rose and Em's Oregon house. We're driving now. Meet us there," I told him.
"Finally," he sighed from the other end of the phone.
I laughed in relief.
"Tell me what you saw," he said.
I told him of my vision of Bella hunting, neatly taking down a mountain lion. Then her running through the trees, heading toward the Oregon house.
"We're on our way. We'll be five to ten minutes behind you," he said before hanging up.
"Almost there," Edward whispered and then sighed.
We could have just pulled over and tried to call from the other side of the border but at this point we just wanted to get there. My thoughts were still so jumbled, like they were trying to work out a puzzle without all the pieces. Edward was so excited he was bouncing in his seat.
Time seemed to stand still as the road passed beneath the tires. Neither of us spoke one word, until we were about ten miles away when Edward suddenly pulled over.
"Al, what if she's in love with the one who changed her? What am I going to do if she hates me?" he asked.
"Edward, I don't believe that she could love anyone the way she loves you. You may need to grovel for weeks or months, but you will be together forever. I know it," I told him.
"I'm going to run from here Al. Wait for the others here. I need to do this alone," he said. "I'll call you when I see her. Just give me an hour okay?"
"Will do Edward. I may have to bribe Emmett to wait. Prepare for weeks of wrestling practice," I told him.
He smiled back at me and ran into the woods. I immediately looked for him and Bella in my visions. He would find her in two minutes.
