Chapter 7
Edward POV
We reached Forks by nightfall. Not that I cared. My thoughts were all with Bella and what she must be going through. I didn’t ask Alice again if she’d seen anything. I knew she would tell me if she had.
We drove past Bella’s house. It had been over a week since Bella had left Forks. Over a week since I’d put her life in the gravest of dangers. And for what reason? Because I was too weak to stay away from her. I cursed myself inwardly again. She shouldn’t have ever been put into this situation.
I could hear Charlie speaking to someone from the confines of the house. I gathered from the tenor of the thoughts in his head that he was speaking to Renee on the phone. She was in Phoenix looking for Bella. She was reporting Bella missing. Grief raced through my unyielding flesh. This was tearing them apart as much as it was us.
We reached the house and I trudged upstairs. I couldn’t face Esme and Rosalie at this moment. I sat on my couch and stared at the wall. My world was in shambles. I didn’t know if I’d ever see my love again. I was also frustrated in the lack of progress that we had made. So far all we’d managed to do was evade suspicion. Meanwhile, my love was being tortured possibly into insanity. I knew that there was only so much that the human mind could take before it began to crack. Bella was brave and strong but she was only human. Another pang of regret washed through my conscience. If I’d just succumbed to my most basic desire, to have Bella by my side for all eternity, she wouldn’t be with that monster right now. She’d have been an equal with us and able to protect herself. But I had foolishly believed that she didn’t deserve to have her human life snatched from her. Even if it was what she wanted. I believed that she deserved so much more than what this life had to offer her. In my stupidity and stubborn refusal to see reason, I’d subjected her to a fate worse than death. Knowing the crimes that he had perpetrated against her person sent me into a downward spiral of guilt, shame, and more self loathing. If I hadn’t been so thick headed this could have been avoided. The very real possibility of losing her had me more frightened than I’d ever been before in my life.
Alice POV
I sank down onto the sofa when we got into the house. Although I couldn’t ever sleep, I was exhausted. My visions were emotionally and physically draining. I was still searching the future desperately. It was going to be up to me when it came to knowing where to go. My visions of Bella were always a little bit hazy because Bella was human and I saw my own kind the best. But never before had I come up a total blank. It made me suspicious. Could this James character know about my visions and how they worked. It was disturbing because I was certain that I’d never met him before. He’d have no reason to know about my ability. If he did indeed know we were in for a long, difficult road ahead.
Jasper was trying to comfort me. He rubbed soothing circles on my back. I sighed. “Thanks, Jasper. I love you. I can’t imagine what Edward must be going through. If I ever lost you…” I trailed off. I was getting brief flashes of the future. Not of Bella. Of him. He was checking her over. At least he was decent enough to make sure she wasn’t too injured. She was still unconscious. She was bruised, a little battered, but physically she looked okay.
I relaxed a little. She was okay for now. Another flash. This one was not as clear which meant that it was sometime well into the future. Bella was screaming. Bella with red eyes. Newborn.
Edward had raced down the stairs with a grief-stricken look on his face. “No, Alice! That can’t be true!”
Edward POV
I was still on the couch when I heard Alice’s thoughts. She’d had another vision. It was him. That worthless excuse for a vampire. He was checking Bella over. She looked bruised and battered but nothing life threatening. I guess he’d successfully sucked his venom out of her system. I exhaled a sigh of relief. At least she wasn’t hurt too badly.
I gasped audibly as I heard what she saw next. Not her. Not by him. They’d be inextricably linked for eternity if he did that. I raced down the stairs. “No, Alice. That can’t be true.”
She said, “I’m sorry, Edward. He’s already made the decision. The only thing that I can tell you is that there is still hope. The vision was incredibly fuzzy which means that we have time. He has decided to change her but not in the very near future. We can find her before he does it but we have to get some kind of evidence where they are. I’m almost convinced that James knows about my ability. He seems to be taking extra care to travel only at night. I have not seen any street signs or any distinguishing landmarks. I don’t believe that it is a coincidence. He knows. I just don’t know how.”
I turned to Carlisle, who had just come from his study upstairs. “What can we do? How do we start looking?”
He pondered for a moment. He said, “This is going to be delicate, Edward. Especially if what Alice said is true. I think she’s right. James has some knowledge of her ability. We have to figure out who we can trust and who we can’t when we ask for help. And we will need help. Until he makes a mistake and Alice sees where he is. That is also a concern. If he knows how her visions work, it won’t be too hard for him to lure us into a trap. We’ll have to be extra cautious. Then, there is also the problem of the Volturi. They must not find out about Bella. That would be an automatic death sentence. She is still human and she knows too much. That and she smells way too good.”
He fell silent for a moment before continuing. “We’ll make a list and contact those that we can trust implicitly. We’ll let them know who and what we are looking for. It will help to have more eyes out there. We’ll also do some research on the internet. We’ll look at property records. If he owns any real estate chances are that he could be nearby. It will be the best we can do under these circumstances.”
Alice immediately went to the computer with Rosalie and started researching. The rest of us went with Carlisle to the dining room to make a list of contacts. I could tell from the thoughts of my family that we would never rest until Bella was safe with our family where she belonged.
