We had won... I smiled at Jasper, took his hand in mine and skipped back home. I felt horrible for leaving them like I did. I had to. It was the only way to make the Volturi stand still long enough to hear Carlisle speak. If Aro had seen me standing with my family, he would have slain us all. I knew my family would understand.
Bella's gift was a bit of a surprise. I wonder why I hadn't seen that coming? I shrugged the feeling off. Though I knew it would irritate me for centuries to come, I could see that much.
Though Aro was already thinking about what to do next, images of the future involving the Volturi were flashing so quickly that I barely got a look at the things thought. No decision would be made soon, and so we would be safe for a time. I could see how badly he wanted us dead. He wanted Nessie fiercely, Bella too. Aro decided he would use them and their love, against each other to keep them in line. I laughed silently. Aro would never understand, or get what he wanted.
Another flash, another vision. The paper thin faces of the last two Romanian Vampires flash before my eyes. They're tired of being exiled, tired of living the way they have been since the Volturi took over. Their decisions came so quickly I nearly lost my footing. I grabbed at Jasper to steady myself.
"Alice, what is it? What do you see?" Jasper voice was an echo in my head. He sounded so far away. I felt his strong arms wrap around my tiny waist. I felt my feet leave the floor. It was a strange feeling. The crude scene of their plans played before my eyes. Divide and conquer. They intend to enlist my family's assistance, which wasn't going to happen. Carlisle would never allow it. They plan on starting up the territorial wars again.
I felt myself being lowered, though I never stopped feeling the downward draw on my body. I was falling, slipping through the safety that my family held for us all. Sliding away from this life and into the next. Then, all was dark.
The distant rumblings barely touched my ears at first. It was my family.
"What's wrong with her Carlisle? I thought Vampires never slept?" I could make out Bella's worried tones. "Her power must be getting stronger, and I don't think she's asleep... the signs point to a coma." Carlisle's gentle, cool hands made their presence known on my forehead. A small set of fingers made their way to my hand. Nessie was asking me to wake up with her mind. She showed and image of my own smiling face and then Jacob sleeping and waking up.
"She's coming around." Edwards voice was clear. Oh God.... Edward. Had he seen everything? I frantically began to go through the historical movement of Japan, starting with 1840 and slowly working my way up. My eyes fluttered open. I flashed a weak smile to everyone.
"Sorry about that... it was a whopper." I glanced at Edward. He did not look happy. I didn't want him to actually see what I had seen. What if my coma became his?
"Alice, what was it?" Rose demanded.
Emmett was right beside her, looking as impatient as ever.
How do I begin?
Vampires are exposed to humans, shifters and werewolves are in hiding. Humans are at war with us as well as the Volturi and the Romanians. Chaos and death, blood and tears, oh God, if there is one, help us.
"We have a big problem."
