Summary: This was not what Alice had seen.
Notes: Spoilers from the movie "Twilight".
She's afraid.
No. It's worse than that. She's terrified. The smell of her fear permeates the inside of the car and it has Jasper and I tense. The level of fear coming from her makes me sad. Her natural scent is one that is so nice, and having it smothered by the smell of fear seems so unnatural.
I turn my head as we drive to look at Jasper and I see that glint in his eyes. I know he wants to go back and help Edward find and destroy the Tracker. I reach out and take his hand in mine. He won't leave -- even to go back home to help them remove this threat to us.
Us.
I didn't realize until now that I hadn't thought about it all like that. I'm not just protecting Bella because Edward loves her and she loves him. I volunteered to protect her and get her away because she's one of us. She's family. She doesn't have to be like us to be one of us. Her instant acceptance of us and what we are helped with that. I had seen that we were going to be very good friends, but I hadn't realized it was more than that.
She's family and there is no way in hell that I'm going to let anyone hurt my family.
As the car eats away the miles between home and Arizona, I think more on this.
I'm glad that Edward has found someone finally. I know he's been waiting for his soul mate for a long time -- and I know that he never expected her to be a human like Bella. However, there's something endearing about her, even if she is one of the most uncoordinated people I have ever met in my life. She's sweet and she's sincere in her love for Edward. The family adores her and her attempts to be accommodating. Well, all of us but Rosalie, but Rosalie doesn't really like anybody outside of the family. She won't hurt her, though. Carlisle would never allow it. He made that clear by telling her that Bella was family now. Rosalie is a lot of things, but she will fight for family whether she likes them or not.
***
Bella is gone.
She slipped past Jasper and I while we were checking us out of the hotel after I had my vision of the ballet studio where James was going to be. I don't know exactly how she got past us and away from the hotel, because my visions didn't show me this happening. I have a sinking feeling that I believe where she went, I just don't know why she would do something like that.
Unless...
Does she think that she can face James on her own and keep him away from Edward? Would she really be that foolish when all that matters to Edward right now is keeping her safe and alive?
Oh, Bella! You little fool! What chance do you think you have against a vampire like the Tracker? James isn't anything like our family. He'll kill you and then brag about it to Edward. Doesn't she realize what it would do to Edward if something happened to her? Doesn't he realize that he already blames himself for attracting the danger to her in the first place?
I want to have her in front of me so I can rage at her about being so stupid and walking right into a trap...
And then I look at Jasper.
What lengths would I go to for Jasper if I thought he was in danger and I could stop anything from happening to him? How far would I go to protect him from someone like James? What traps would I walk into with the hope that I could keep my soul mate safe?
True, I'm a vampire and Bella is human, but is her love for Edward any less than mine for Jasper because of it?
We've called Edward. I hope he and Carlisle get here in time. Jasper and I are going out to look for the ballet studio from my vision.
***
She's dying.
The Tracker hurt her badly and I'm trying to get her to hold still so Carlisle can help her. There's so much blood coming from her leg and she's convulsing.
Jasper and I got there just as Emmett and Carlisle got there. I didn't see Edward, but then I heard the sound of the fighting coming from inside the studio. The four of us rushed in and I saw Edward pinning James to the wall above us. Bella was laying on the floor and the sounds she was making...
Horrible. Painful.
Edward was about to kill James... but Carlisle stopped him. We don't kill like that. We're better than that. We won't feed on the Tracker, but we will destroy him. It's us or him. We choose us. Jasper and Emmett have him and a fire is ready. Carlisle tells me to help my brothers take care of it -- and I'm on James, ripping his head off. I do it quickly, sparing him the suffering that part of me would like him to feel for what he's done.
It's done and his pieces are being burned even as I go back to kneel at Bella's side, trying to help.
"There's so much blood," I said, pointing out the obvious. I can't help it. I can smell it and when I look down at her leg, it's everywhere. But it's when Bella starts screaming about her arm, we all look.
James bit her and the venom is poisoning her.
"I've seen her as one of us, Edward," I say softly. "You have to do it to save her."
"No. There has to be another way."
I let Carlisle talk to him as I pull off my belt so that a tourniquet can be made on her leg. We have to stop the blood as Carlisle said that it's her femoral artery that's been cut. That's why there's so much blood. She won't survive long if something isn't done.
Edward is talking to Bella and her convulsions are slowing down. I can't see what's happening and I hate not knowing. I get up and back away from them, not wanting to distract Bella or Edward.
Jasper comes up behind me and wraps his arms around me as we watch.
You have to save her, Edward.
He has to. She's not meant to die like this.
This isn't what I have seen for her future.
