Alice called Carlisle minutes after they raced to the airport, He was at his workplace packing things he would like to bring a long he's fulfilling his promise to Esme by having a nice trip to their private Island.
the office phone ringed and Carlisle went towards it, Esme was where the phone ringed reaching her hand towards it but Carlisle wanted to pick up.
"I'll do it sweetheart" Carlisle said Esme smiled and went to his bag to pack for him as he does his errant.
Carlisle had a strange feeling it's not a pleasant phone call and doesn't want anything to upset his wife.
"Dr. C Cullen speaking" Carlisle said.
"Oh Alice, how are you?" Carlisle said relieved.
"Carlisle, we are on our way to the airport make sure you'll pick us up as soon as we arrive in Forks" Alice said.
Carlisle gulped and braced himself for further bad news.
"I will do that" Carlisle said walking out of his office, by the sound of Alice's voice there is no time for explaining things, he needs to act fast.
Esme didn't like the sound of his voice and hurried after him, locking the office.
She walked after Carlisle fearing that her daughter is in trouble.
" Alice are you in danger?" Carlisle said speeding walking using a bit of his vampire speed to move as fast as human's eyes are able to follow.
"No Bella is, something is blocking my powers I don't know who is coming after Bella but it must be a vampire with a special gift." Alice said.
"Where is she now?" maybe I can come to her aid" Carlisle said.
"She said she was going to La push but I can no longer see her future nor whereabouts," Alice said.
" But we'll talk soon just hurry" Alice said.
Carlisle then knew he's unable to reach her, at least not without trouble,
"Alice I'll head to La push to get Bella away from there, Billy will understand" Carlisle said.
"No don't! Whatever it is that's out there, It will kill you" Alice said and Edward could see the vision of Alice, Carlisle's future will be unknown.
"Dad listen to her," Edward pleads " I don't want to lose you too" He found the strength to speak again.
Carlisle then reluctantly agreed, If he gets eliminated from existence before he can save Bella then he has no choice but to trust Alice and stay put.
"Please don't make us wait a second, If you aren't there to pick us up we will use our vampire speed to reach to Bella in time" Alice said.
"I'm near my car, I'll see you there" Carlisle said. He didn't want Alice to do that, it will be noticed by the civilians.
"Carlisle?" Esme said terrified.
"Esme, listen to me" Carlisle grabbing her shoulders, " Bella is in grave danger, You need to find the others right now" Carlisle said.
"But.."
"Don't ask anymore questions just do as I say just this once" Carlisle orders.
"Understand?"
Esme nodded, Carlisle let go of her and entered his car " But what's coming our way? the volturi?" Esme asked.
"We don't know yet but they are coming for Bella" Carlisle said and drove away without looking back.
"Be careful darling" Esme said and rushed towards her car and contact the others.

The phone was on loudspeaker but Bella isn't answering, it went to her voice mail and Edward smashed the button to call her again, he has been calling her relentlessly and it only made his panic rise. it went to voicemail after several rings.
"Damn it!" Edward shouted. "Bella pick up!"
"What is she doing?" Edward asked,
"She's Having a walk at the beach enjoying her surroundings" Alice shivered at Edward's hostility,
"Why isn't she answering me!?" Edward asks, he's getting so infuriated with Bella but mostly at himself for letting her go to Forks alone.
"I don't know! Well maybe she left her phone in her car !" Alice said starting to become upset too not being able to warn her in time.
"Edward try to stay calm" Alice shivered.
"I can't stay calm! seriously distract me, distract me before I cause a rampage" Edward said, He wants to rip people's head of for stalling him.
There were cars on the road that forced him to slow down in speed because they weren't paying attention or some pedestrians crossed the road while the traffic light in on green and Edward aggressively honks them to get out of the way.
"Edward I'll take over the wheel, take the back seat" Alice said and Edward did so trying to call Bella and seemed less restless when civilians no longer got on his nerves,
Alice contacted Carlisle and gave him a new location to pick them up, there is a change of plan by the looks of the future but they have to hijack a plane too in order to reach to Forks in time.
Alice didn't obey the traffic rules and drove full speed running through red lights, It might cause the cops to go after them but she can easily outsmart them.
A siren came from behind them. she knew it would happen but kept driving full speed.
"Edward the cops are on our tail, to avoid fighting them and waste more time we must find a way to the landing course" Alice said.
Edward looked behind him, the window of the back of the Volvo was flashing with blue and red siren lights.
"Pull over now" The cops ordered,
Edward could read their thoughts,
what's wrong with these maniacs?'
'by the look of it they are a bunch of stupid kids'
Edward snarled wanting to burst out of the window to kill every single one of them,
Alice saw a vision of that, Edward would jump on the car reach a hand through the glass and snap the Officers necks,
"Edward calm down, there people are innocent! focus your anger on the one's who try to harm Bella" Alice said.
"If we are forced to stop we won't get in time to reach Bella, don't you understand?" Edward said angry but sounded like he's about to wail in sorrow.
"We will reach Forks in time Edward I promise" Alice said.
"There are more of them!" Edward said getting them off their tail will be much easier if he deals with them right now.
Alice is not willing to kill for Bella but he is.
"Don't!" Alice said putting her feet down pushing the car to reach further than it's limit.
" I love Bella too Edward, I'm not going to let her die" Alice vows.
"If everything else fails I'll let you have your revenge against the cops but until then you need to trust my intuition that we'll arrive in time" Alice said.
The tire of the Volvo screeched as Alice took a short cut driving on a different lane, The cops were shocked to see a girl ghost riding, she skillfully avoided the cars coming her way and drove off a grass hill driving underneath a bridge, the sounds of the sirens faded but Alice knew more will come if they don't hurry.
Alice's vision was right a car was heading their way. They abandoned the Volvo and used their speed to appear in front of the car .
Edward used his hand to stop the car from hitting them, airbags blinded their vision, they were disorientated and both Edward and Alice got them out of the car,
took their phones away to prevent them from calling the cops as they left the humans on the road.
The car was a Porsche Cayenne and it drove quite fast, Edward flinched when cop cars were driving passed them, by the look of things the cops were still searching for joyriders.
When the airport came in sight Edward sneaked in where charter jets are landing, They covered their face's by moving their sweaters all the way to their noses and used the shades the previous owners of the car left behind.
Edward didn't speak to the people trying to stop him and knocked them down like domino blocks, there was no time to speak and forced everyone in the private jet out.
Alice put it on auto pilot in the cockpit, it trembled as it glided on the runaway.
Edward tossed the shades away, reaching towards his phone with shaking hands.
Edward texted Bella one last message pleading her to listen to him and stay away from La Push. He was holding onto a small thread of his sanity,
They were in the air, being unable to call Bella now, What If he'll never heard her voice again..?
He was so furious with himself, this is all because of him, She wouldn't have gone back to Forks if she knew has been watching over her all along.
He tried to calm himself, think of their last days of peace together, how she would sleep in his embrace, how her hand rests on his chest, even the times before he left, so wonderful, their stroll in the forest with a guarding arm around her.
after 10 minutes in the air Alice moved in her seat fidgeting like she needs to go to the bathroom, she opened her eyes and her face changed. Bella hasn't been attacked yet but she's all alone there.
"What are you seeing?" Edward asked.
"Glimpses of a beach.. She's not in La Push yet" Alice said.
"She's taking pictures , so if she goes over there we'll have to cross the treaty line if we want her back in one piece" Alice said trying to keep her composure.
"We need to tell Carlisle! maybe he can save her ." Edward said.
"How? we are in the air! there is nothing we can do now" Alice said.
"If only I could reach out to her" Alice said, Edward understood what Troubled Alice.
"They will understand Alice, they have to.. we are trying to save her" Edward said.
"I know, I just hope we don't have to trespass" "If she leaves La push now then we won't aggravate the Wolves" Alice said clasping her hands together trying to see what is coming after Bella but she still doesn't know.
Alice didn't see anything still and Edward feared the worst, He can't let Bella die.. he doesn't care who will see him, when the plane lands he'll run to forks like a lightning bolt Alice tried to reach out towards his hand that was resting on his knees.
Alice lowered the airplane to the ground to make sure they'll reach the ground without damaging their limbs, She could see the trees coming behind the thick clouds,
they need to make a short run towards where Carlisle is waiting for them, It's now or never.
Edward flinched eying her hostile.
"Edward we need to abandon the airplane," Alice said.
"The Police is waiting to arrest us at the airport" Alice said,
"Fine, does Carlisle know where to pick us up?" Edward asked.
"Yes,"
Edward opened the door and looked down, trees were visible Edward closed his eyes and jumped from the plane, Alice did the same and allowed the plane crash against a mountain,
The Authorities won't be able to track them down and whoever will try to track the hijacked jet down will assume they have died.
Edward landed on the ground he felt his legs crack and found support against a tree, his legs healed again and could stand.
"Alice!" Edward called out to her,
"I'm here" Alice said lowering herself down from a tree and both sprinted towards the large road that leads them to La Push,
They heard cars passing by, "Alice I can't hear Carlisle's thought, did you tell him we'll arrive here?" Edward asked.
"Yes I did, just be patient he's on his way, Edward didn't want to wait another second
Edward scanned the area to see which moving car he can steal, but then Carlisle's Volvo came in sight he stopped shoving the door open,
"Hurry!" Carlisle ordered, Edward got in not saying a word to Carlisle as he stepped on the gas. the glass of the car were non see through so nobody could identify them.
Edward could hear his mothers thoughts coming from behind him, all of them were there,
"Mother" Edward said seeing her calmed him a little, if only his mother could hold him right now, he feels like a wreck and is longing to be at Esme's presence.
Hearing her soft voice, kind hands combing through his hair as he cries against her shoulder.
"mom.." Edward looked at her, his despair turned into hostility when Carlisle tried calling Bella and there was still no response.
"Alice where is she?" Where is Bella?" Edward said grabbing Alice by the collar shaking her.
"She got away from the beach but everything went black again, I still can't see who is hunting her down!" Alice said.
"Could it be a werewolf who wants Bella dead?" No that can't be, the wolves love her.. Jacob wouldn't allow such a thing but what could cause the blank spaces in Alice's vision?
"Oh no, Alice I think it's the Volturi" Edward said.
"But why would they?" Alice wondered.
"Bella knows too much about us, they can far see the future.. that could explain the blank spaces" Edward said.
Alice closed her eyes and Edward piped down when he could see images from Alice's mind.
"I don't think so, they will come to Forks to destroy us for letting a human know about our existence but not now, " Alice said.
"When?" Edward asked.
"Soon" Alice said grim.
Carlisle hand firmed his grip on the steering wheel hearing that, After all the things he tried to protect his family from them, the next battle will be inevitable.
If Bella died then Edward will let the Volturi come without even preparing for battle, at least no matter what happens Bella and him will reunite.
-/-
Bella raced towards the road of the reservation fast and the meter has almost reached its limit, Thank goodness she left her phone in the car, she looked at her bag, it was buzzing endlessly, Alice must have seen her in danger she hopes they are on their way here.
Her phone stopped and then started buzzing again, Bella knew it was Edward she looked in all of her mirrors, it seems safe now
and when Victoria wasn't spotted anywhere she slowed down in speed slightly to grab the phone, she was terrified and Edward has been been calling multiple times, including leaving messages. Her heart wants to give him a call but she must stall Victoria first.
And then he called again just when she was about to call 911, the cops can't do much but if there are more human witnesses Victoria won't be able to attack at least not without provoking the Volturi.
Hopefully her fear for them is bigger than her thirst for revenge.
Bella breathed and picked up the phone as she went over the speed limit. She had it on loud speaker so that she can use both of her hands to control her vehicle.
"Bella!" Edward shouted. "Where are you?!"
"Victoria!" Bella is babbling her name in fear, "I've seen her Edward, she was at the same beach as I was and tried coming after me!"
"I'm so scared honey I don't know where she went!" Bella said and started to cry as she held on to the steering wheel with all her strength.
Edward then realized he let one enemy go, Victoria wants to kill Bella for revenge..
"Bella listen to me! Go to the reservation, beyond the treaty line you'll be safe,
"Call Jacob right now, you got that?" Edward orders her.
"Yes" Bella whimpered.
"Stay strong darling I'm on my way," Edward said,
"I'll stay strong for you," Bella sobbed and dialed Jacobs number hopefully he's at home.
Edward dropped his phone and fell out off his hands, nerve wrecking sobs went through him. They still haven't arrived yet and Bella is in harms way.
"Please Bella don't leave me.."
how could he have overseen this?, Why didn't Alice see her coming?
He was tracking her all the way to Rio and and when she got away she probably found a way to avoid being tracked down by Alice.
This is all his fault, He should have destroyed Victoria when he still had the chance,
"Edward in 15 minutes we'll arrive at the reservation, Try not to panic and stay calm for Bella" Alice said grabbing both arms pulling him back up on the backseat.
"No!" Edward yelled backing away from her hold, his knees went mellow and leaned against the wall of the large volvo, like a crippled old man who lost his ability to walk.
Edward snarled as he seems to be turning feral when Alice tried to catch him from falling and ceased in her movement " Would you be able to stay calm if the one you love is in danger because of your actions?" Edward asked.
"You have no idea what's it's like to walk a mile in my shoes!" If I never sabotaged her plans to live in Florida this would have never happened!" Edward said.
"If I looked after her better she wouldn't be in danger!" I would have known Victoria would come after Bella next" Edward said.
"Edward now is not the time to blame yourself, only the future is what we can change now, in order to face Victoria you must have a clear head" Alice said.
" I understand you are in pain but..
"Don't" Edward said,
" You don't know how I feel" Edward said, " Just focus on Victoria's next move," Edward said not wanting to be comforted.
Alice saw dark spots in Victoria's future, too, Alice doesn't know where she is heading to now, and it confirmed Edwards theory.

Bella collected herself and called Jacob, so far there was no sign of Victoria but didn't want to celebrate too soon, if she haven't crossed the treaty line she will remain in danger.
"Hello, Bella is that you?" Jacob said happy.
"Jacob save me! Victoria was at the beach, I don't know where she is now but she was coming after me a moment ago!" Bella panicked as she kept her foot steady on the gas pedal.
Jacob almost dropped the phone as rage bulges,
" Bella where the hell are you?" Jacob asked irate.
"I'm on my way to the reservation, please tell the others I'm in danger" Bella said.
"I'll try and catch up with you, in the meantime keep driving!" Jacob said.
Then Bella gasped when she was about to turn left, Victoria was standing in the distance on the road, swaying on her feet like a ghost. Her grin went from ear to ear and she slowly walked towards Bella with her blazing red hair dancing in the wind.
Bella screeched terrified and put her car in reverse to find a different road.
Jacob heard her scream and her tires roaring.
"Bella what's going on?" Jacob Demanded.
"Victoria caught up with my car!" Bella cried and the broad demonic grin didn't leave Victoria's face as she walked faster towards Bella's direction, her stomach clenched as she stepped on the gas.
she couldn't find it in herself to look in the car's mirror as her heart beat faster. She would freeze in fear seeing Victoria's eyes burn a hole in them with her vicious glare.
Helplessly Jacob heard Bella's engine her terrified breathing
"Bella say something!" Jacob said wishing she would keep talking to him.
"Victoria is blocking the road! I'll find a different route" Bella stuttered, her heart was beating in her throat.
"Where are you now?" Jacob said,
"I'm heading to the Hoh forest," Bella said and nervously looked in her mirror but Victoria wasn't following her. It didn't calm her, like a prey she knew that Victoria is trying to lure in into a trap. and keep her thoughts with Jacob.
"Keep driving as fast as you can! We are coming for you!" Jacob said, tears blinded his vision as he raced towards the location Bella mentioned.
Bella kept Jacob on the phone, Edward won't be able to call her but she wouldn't stay a second without hearing a familiar voice who loves her.
When Bella drove fast forward in the fog there were figures standing at first she thought it was was Jacob with his back but there was a horde of new Born vampires blocking her way to cross the treaty line.
"Damnit!" Bella said, her options are running out she drove backwards tried a different route, She called out.
"Jacob Im heading to the Cullen's house" Bella cried.
"Wait no! I'm almost there Bella! Don't go!" Jacob said.
"Vampires! They are blocking my way to you, I'll find a different road to the treaty line there," Bella said.
Bella was right, the vampires are trying to lure her into Victoria's clutches and will have to try and put some hurdles for them.
"Im going to call 911, hopefully the cops will stall them" Bella said.
"If I don't see you again my Jae, know that I love you" Bella cried.
Jacob became distraught, furious and helpless all these emotions caused a rampage in his body.
"No don't you dare say that,!"
"Don't die on me, promise me you are going to make it !" Jacob said and Bella wished she could hold him.
"I promise I'll try honey I'll do everything I can to to stay alive" Bella said trying to find her strength.
"I need to keep driving" I love you"
and painfully Jacob let her hang up, he will continue to fight for her.
Jacob hated to call the Cullen's number but they have to help him deal with Victoria, If a horde of vampires are after Bella he needs all the reinforcements he can get.
Alice has seen another Vision, a group of vampires entering of her home in looking if Bella has been hiding there.
"There are heaps of them" Alice cried, "But why can't I see Bella or Victoria?"
"I don't understand" Alice said and Carlisle held her trying to think of a reason why this is happening.
Carlisle cellphone started to ring with was a number he wasn't familiar with, Alice couldn't see the caller in her vision and knows who that is.
"Its the werewolf Jacob" Alice said and Carlisle answered putting on speaker right away.
"Jacob?" Carlisle Said.
"Bella is heading towards your house" Jacob said furious.
And Carlisle stepped on the breaks and change directions automatically
"Why?" Edward cried out.
"The bloodsuckers have blocked her way to the treaty line ,"Jacob said.
Make sure you reach Bella before I do because if anything happens to Her, I will hunt every single one of you down even if it's the last thing I do" Jacob threatened and hanged up on Carlisle.
Alice was looking in Bella's future, there might be hope for her.
"Edward Bella is calling the police, she will stall the New Borns it will buy us more time" Alice said and Edward snapped out of his vegetative state.
"And Victoria?" Edward asked.
" I can't see her yet not even a glimpse" Alice said.
" Where is Bella?" Edward asked,
" She's almost there, Oh no" Alice said.
"The New Born vampires!" Alice said and saw a vision of a a horde smashing the door of their house in waiting for Bella's car to arrive.
If they smell the scent of her blood they'll ambush her.
Edward wished he didn't have to do this, with every call Bella's hope for survival diminishes, the panic in her voice, her loud breathing on the verge of tears,
But he still stay strong for her, when this is over Bella will never leave his sight again for a second, wherever she goes he goes too.

'911 what is your emergency?' a woman said.
"Hello, this is Bella Swan, I'm being followed by a former class mate called Victoria Sutherland" Bella Said.
"She wants to kidnap me and let her pets attack me somewhere in the forest" Bella said, If Victoria gives her a Gory death then Edward will not be seen as a suspect.
'Ma'am try to stay calm do you have a weapon to defend yourself with?' The dispatcher asked.
"No" Bella said, "I contacted my friends Edward Cullen and Jacob Black they will try to reach me before Victoria can"
the dispatcher typed Edward and Jacobs name and told Bella to find the closest police station and wait there instead, and a Police car will be send to where Victoria and her friends was last spotted.
The Police station is further away from Edwards house, but maybe the New Borns are waiting at Edward's house, it's the first place Victoria might look for her.
On her way to the police station she can make one final attempt to reach the treaty line, She called Jacob back telling her plan, she had a horrible feelings Edward might not reach his house in time.
Bella was on an empty road, she felt cramp in her leg for stepping on the gas pedal so firmly but she ignored ti as she pushed forward, the road towards the final treaty line seems so long, she couldn't even think of happy thoughts to keep the realization of possible dying at Victoria's hands.
At least she had everything she wanted in this life, loving husbands who lift her up, she made great friends who were accepting from the beginning and very forgiving.
But as long as there is still air in her lungs she will keep on holding onto her life as long as she can, so that It won't be too late to see Edward and Jacob for the last time.
Bella gasped she jumped a little in her seat when her phone buzzed.
"Edward I called the police I'm heading to the last treaty line" Bella said picking up.
"No"
"Don't go to my house or the Police station, the New borns are there !" Edward shouted,
"What?"
"Then where on Earth am I supposed to go?" Bella said trying to make a U turn without making her car fall over.
Bella didn't had time to hit the breaks because as soon as she turned Victoria stopped the car with one hand.
"Bella?".. No Bella please say something!"
"Bella.. speak to me!" Edward said.
"What are you seeing?" Edward begged when Bella stopped responding to him.
Edward could only hear her breathe as and Alice couldn't see what's going on in her vision, It was black once more but he knew Victoria has caught up with Bella.
"Edward I love you.. tell Jacob I love him too, goodbye my love" Bella said in a tiny voice as Victoria ripped the door open.
Edward feared for the worst when Bella went quiet. Her breathing slowed down and locked her eyes with Victoria defeated.
Victoria could hear Edward screaming Bella's name, as there was no longer a respond from Bella.
Bella shielded her face frightened when Victoria reached a hand towards her cellphone and gracefully placed it against her ear.
Bella peaked between her fingers as she shivered looking at Victoria enjoying hearing Edward panicking and pleading.
"Hello Edward" Victoria said while looking at Bella like a predator looking at a poor little lamb with glee.
"No no don't you dare touch her! Whatever you are planning with her do it to me!" Edward said.
"Its me you want, leave her out of this!" Edward said.
"Oh your time will come, But first I'll kill off your mate.. painfully and slowly" Victoria said and crushed the phone.
