Sadly Beautiful

A/N

Thanks for all the positive reviews on the last chapter, it really means a lot to me, I love reading all your opinions and whatnot. This chapter has Alice pov in it, I'm not sure if the whole chapter will be in her pov, I'm writing this before writing the chapter which is probably not a good thing haha. Not like anyone reads the authors notes anyway :L Some of the things in this chapter are slightly alternative universish, mainly Aro losing an eye but that's slightly spoilerish but now you've read it so we can't change it.

Someone asked me in the reviews if the wolves would be back, and I can assure you that they will and there'll definitely be some drama of some kind, it'll be worth the wait.

On other news, I drafted this chapter in a geography exam/controlled assessment which was fun, even got my friend Jaz to 'beta read' it during the exam. I'm also still annoyed with the Ellie girl, if any of you care she's the girl I called a bitch in my last chapter. Finally, I'd recommend that any of you who haven't already, go check out 'Wait For Me' by 'Red Like Roses' which is written by Jaz and is amazing.

On to the story haha.

Chapter twelve - Dreamer

Alice POV

I felt Bella drifting off in my arms, the girl of my dreams lay curled up against me. I sighed contently and buried my head into her hair, enjoying her soft, sweet scent. The familiar burn in my throat intensified but I quickly resisted, knowing that I could never feed from Bella. I smiled to myself, impressed with my self control and my ability to ignore my other desires around Bella.

I loved everything about her, her soft delicate face. Her incredible, mouth watering scent, her caring personality, charisma. Everything, I loved everything.

I pulled her closer to me, so that she was sitting on my lap. I sighed contently and ran my hands through her hair, gently massaging her scalp. Before long I started purring and felt myself relaxing in her presence.

Bella suddenly stiffened as though she was having a vision. Even know I knew this couldn't be true because I'd ask Carlisle if she had a gift and he told me maybe but if she did then it wasn't like the rest of ours and that it wouldn't become apparent until after she became a vampire. If I decided to change her that is.

I moved her body off of mine and tried to gently shake her awake. She didn't react, she continued to lie there completely stiff and un-moving. I whimpered and pulled her towards me, as soon as I did this, she jerked violently and began writhing furiously in my arms.

"CARLISLE!" I shouted panicked, my voice breaking.

Almost as soon as I finished saying his name, he was in the room being followed closely behind by all of my siblings and Esme. Jasper looked pained when he entered the room last, I was confused at first but then I realised. The amount of emotions that were probably flowing to him was enough to make me cringe.

I held Bella softly in my arms, trying to calm her down, while she thrashed and jerked wildly. "Carlisle what the fuck is happening to MY BELLA!?" I shrieked. Before Carlisle had a chance to reply Bella let out an agonised, drawn out scream, her voice getting hoarse and breaking towards the end.

I sunk to my knees, every sound that Bella made struck my dead, unbeating heart and caused torturous, broken-hearted ripples of pain across my entire body. Bella began sobbing uncontrollably, each tear escaping caused another spasm of pain. Tears formed on my eyelids, traveling slowly down my cheeks and landing on Bella's forehead. I didn't even know vampires could cry and, judging by the looks from everyone else, neither did they.

Edward let out a feral, animalistic howl and sunk to the floor, grabbing the carpet roughly. His grip tightened with each escaped sob and pained sounds coming from between the Bella and I. After only a few seconds he had ripped areas of the carpet off, his onyx black eyes were filled with pain and grief.

I sat there on my knees, focusing on Bella's erratic and uneven heartbeat. The sound had the opposite effect that it usually did, instead of comforting me it made me feel more anxious. I needed to know what was wrong with my soul mate. I felt the familiar feeling of worry and anxiety creeping through my body. I tried to take my mind off of these thoughts but I couldn't focus on anything but the thought of Bella, my Bella, dying.

My entire family were scattered through out the room, Edward wasn't meetings anyone's eyes and seemed to cringe away from my gaze. Emmet was holding tightly onto Rosalie with an extremely concerned look in his eyes, Rosalie wasn't even looking at Bella. She did, however, have the decency to at least look like she cared.

Esme had a look of intense pain on her face, I'd never seen her perfect features as pained as they were now. Carlisle had a similar expression but his eyes were an intense black, much darker than both Edward's and Esme's. They all stood there, staring at either Bella or me, besides Rosalie who stared out the window.

Carlisle finally spoke, his voice cracking. "Edward, if anyone knows what is going on, it's you," He asked questioningly. Edward nodded his head somberly and released his grip on the carpet. He turned his body away from us and began to shake violently.

He stayed like this for a few minutes, before his shaking subsided and he was able to speak. His voice was hoarse and cracked multiple times before he managed to begin.

"All of you know that when I got turned into a vampire, I went through a period of rebelling and left Carlisle and Esme. We all nodded that we understood and he continued. I did my best to tune out Bella for the time being, focusing on understanding what was happening.

"When I left, I roamed around for a while and heard a lot of rumors from many different nomads. They spoke of a hooded figure who never disclosed his name. This hooded figure was one of the most lethal fighters anyone had ever come across, he also had a gift. He could enter and manipulate peoples dreams, he couldn't kill anyone, if he killed them in the dream they'd just wake up, but he could cause immense pain to his victims." He paused and nodded towards Bella, who was now still and un-moving. We all gestured for him to continue, he obliged.

"His gift has a limit, he can only do it for a certain amount of time and only from a certain distance away, otherwise he can't get the level of control he needs. Unfortunately, he is very secretive and I never spoke to anyone who knew his limits." Edward stopped shaking and turned to face us, his eyes completely black and his pupils were slits. Esme stood up and moved to hug him, but he stopped her sharply.

"I don't deserve your sympathy." He deadpanned, before continuing his story. "This mysterious figure, with a unique gift and incredible fighting skills, went from coven to coven. No one knew what he was doings, some speculated that he was searching for something or someone." He paused and took an unnecessary breath.

"Eventually, after hundreds and hundreds of years, he found himself in Volterra in Italy which is, as we all know, the home of the Volturi. The moment he entered the city, he was instantly surrounded by five members of the gaurd, some of the strongest fighters in the Volturi guard." He looked pained and paused a moment to collect his thoughts.

"I was in the city at the time, Aro wanted to speak to me and I thought it would be rude to refuse. I saw it happen, I saw him, heard him. He had ripped the heads off of two of them before any of them moved. The other three surrounded him but he quickly dispatched another two with lightning fast strikes. The final guard...He..Begged for mercy and his heart was ripped from his body, it didn't kill him instantly but I can only imagine the pain he was in."

"He threw me the heart, I caught it without thinking. He is incredibly fast, from my perspective he simply materialised in front of me. He smirked at me and uttered the most spine chilling, heart stopping words I've ever heard uttered, ever."

"Hello little Edward, so alone, always alone. Even with Carlise and Esme, you're still incomplete... My name is Saun, we'll be seeing each other later."

"He disappeared shortly after, he entered the Volturi's castle and took Aro's eye as a trophy, no one has heard of him since. Except now." I looked at Edward curiously and mentally asked him what he meant.

"He thinks Bella is his mate, he's going to try and take her." He said this and backed away slowly, not breaking eye contact. He looked terrified, I'm not sure if it was a result of Bella's thoughts or because of the furious expression on my face.

A feral snarl ripped through my chest. "BELLA IS MINE, NO ONE ELSE'S. WHO THE FUCK DOES HE THINK HE IS!?" I growled possessively and clutched Bella closer to me. My entire family looked terrified and no one challenged my claim.

Bella stirred below me and I had a vision that she'd be waking up soon, so I positioned myself so that I'd be the first thing she saw when her 'dream' ended. I sat like this for a few minutes, my forehead resting lightly on hers.

Her eyes flickered open and she groaned weakly at me. I pulled her closer to me and stood up gently. I carried her towards Carlisle, my arms were shaking from anger at Saun and worry for my mate. Carlisle took her carefully from me and ran, at vampire speed, to his office.

The rest of my family, except Edward, followed quickly behind, just in time to see Carlisle connecting various machines to Bella. I snarled in protest but was shushed quickly by Carlisle, seeing the sincerity in his eyes, I stopped protesting and sunk to my knees, for what seemed like the hundredth time today.

I stayed like that for a few minutes, with my eyes closed. I listened to the sound of whirring machines and the various breathing throughout the room. The sounds relaxed me slightly but I was still worried about Bella and each time she gasped in pain, I felt my heart ache for her.

I opened my eyes and saw Carlisle pricking Bella's skin with an IV drip, he quickly cleaned the wound before the blood could attract any of our attentions. I was concentrating more on Bella's sound of pain when the needle pierced her skin, the moment her face flinched in pain, I flew to her side.

I nuzzled close to her neck and purred softly, doing my best to comfort her. She smiled weakly at me and tried to caress my cheek. She lifted her arm and dropped it quickly after, the effort tiring her quickly. I moved my cheek to her hand, allowing her to softly stroke my cheek.

"Bella... I failed you. I couldn't protect you." My voice broke and Bella interrupted.

"Alice, I love you. You're everything to me and there's nothing you could have done."

I moved my lips to hers, pressing softly on them, my tongue tracing her bottom lip. She moaned and I pushed her, gently, down onto the bed and stuck my tongue out. "You need to rest and not exert yourself." She pouted and I chuckled at her adorable expression. "Don't worry, I'll never leave you again, we'll catch the sick fucker." I promised.

Bella drifted off in my arms, I searched for a vision before hand and knew that Saun wouldn't be bothering her tonight, so she was safe to sleep. When she was deep in sleep, I softly whispered Rosalie's name. She appeared in the room a few seconds later.

"Rose, you're a car person... I need help picking Bella a car." I begged. Rosalie smirked at me and put on a mock expression of deliberation. Finally, she sighed and nodded at me.

"Well you could get her a Chevrolet Camaro, 2012 edition. They're fucking sexy but I doubt Bella would like one, she's far too fragile and not sexual enough. No offence to her of course." She backtracked when I hissed softly.

We were both silent for a few minutes, I was watching her change her mind in my visions, she flicked between various Camaro's, Aston Martins and finally she landed on Lamborghini's. I nodded at her in agreement, but we were both stuck on which car to choose.

Edward knocked lightly on the door, before entering slowly. His expression was one of excitement, he must really like his idea. He walked towards us slowly before, almost shouting, told us his idea.

"We could get her a Lamborghini Reventón, only twenty have ever been made, but I'm sure that we could get one. They're limited edition, only come in black and are one of the fastest cars in the world. Oh, and they're two million dollars each." He deadpanned.

I smirked at him and stuck my tongue out, my vision glazed over for a second before I replied. "Oh look, Apples stocks are about to rise, we should invest?" I giggled. "Oh and Google's are about to fall, lets sell?" I burst into laughter, careful not to wake Bella.

Carlisle knocked lightly on the door, much like Edward, and walked slowly into the room. "I think it's a brilliant idea Alice, a good way to welcome Bella to the family. The money is not an issue, we've got more than enough stored up, if you go now then you might be able to get it before she wakes."

I nodded enthusiastically and left the room in a hurry. I jumped the stairs in a single bound, and slipped under Emmet who was waiting for me at the door. I ran into the garage and hopped into my Porsche and sped away. I pushed the car to it's limits on my way to Los Angelas.

I had mentally asked Edward to phone ahead and arrange the details, so that I would only have to go and pick the car up, when I suddenly stopped the car. How could I be so fucking stupid, how was I supposed to take both cars back. I heard a soft chuckle and Edward strolled to the other side of the car. Wow I knew he was fast but he managed to keep up, fucking hell.

He chuckled softly and climbed into the passenger seat, ruffling my hair as he did. We drove in silence for the majority of the journey. The only time we spoke was when I turned my i-pod on and 'The Saturdays - What About Us' started to play, he quickly told me to turn it off and laughed at my insulted expression.

Stupid mind reading vampire, obviously not smart enough to appreciate the true beauty of 'The Saturdays,' next he'll be telling me he doesn't like Girls Generation. He shook his head at my thoughts, I growled loudly at him and sped the car up.

The rest of the journey passed quickly, we arrived in LA relatively quickly. Normally it would have taken a long time, but with our superior reflexes, we were able to keep an incredibly fast speed throughout the journey. We parked outside the dealership and quickly bought the car.

I marveled at the beautiful finish and sexy curves of the car. Damn you Bella, ah well I still have my Porsche. Edward laughed at my expression and moved to the driver side door of the Reventón. I growled at him, "What do you think you're doing. Porsche now." He laughed at me but moved to the door of the Porsche. I smiled and climbed into Bella's car.

I couldn't wait to show her.

A/N

This chapter didn't really turn out how I expected it to. I still enjoyed writing it though, so I guess it's not too bad. This chapter was A LOT shorter than I wanted it to be, but I just got writers block half way through, ah well.

I hope you liked the growling and whatnot Jaz, I know how much you normally enjoy that sort of Bellice action... Maybe this chapter was good enough for you to tell me what your '~' means? ;) Anyway, I hope you enjoyed this chapter, tell me what you think on fb :3 Much love.

I hope you that everyone enjoyed, feel free to give your opinions and suggestions.

Until next time!
