End of Chapter 36
***Alice's POV***
"They have a girl named Tallulah, she can see the future. She can see things happening before they actually do, like Ты can..she saw all of Ты coming. Well...almost all of you." He сказал(-а) as he turned and walked back to the диван, мягкий уголок where Bella was sitting, biting her nails.
"I'm sorry." She сказал(-а) quickly. "This is because of me. They took me, and because Ты all came to find me they took Edward. If..."
"Bella," Edward sighed as he moved quickly to her side, taking her into his arms as he tried to console her. "This is not because of you. We all would have done anything in our power to make sure Ты were safe, and personally I would do it all again."
"Bella," I сказал(-а) as I opened my eyes again and walked over to her. "You can not blame yourself for this, I should have seen."
"Enough blaming yourself." Carlisle сказал(-а) as he stood up and looked around the room. "We don't have time for this now, we need to figure out what they have up their sleeve and what we can do so that all of us get out of here safely."
Chapter 37
***Alice's POV***
We all looked at Carlisle, in the many..MANY years that I have been with the Cullens I had never heard him raise his voice. I knew that he was right about all of this, that we needed to not point fingers или blame one person...we needed to focus on the now and not what brought us to this point.
"Alice," Carlisle sighed as he sat back down Далее to Esme. "Please try looking again, we need to try and use Your, Edward and Jasper's abilities...we need every advantage we have."
"We don't necessarily have an advantage anymore." Edward сказал(-а) softly.
"Tell us about her." Emmett said, as he stood up, his hands rubbing together in what I assumed was anticipation.
"I know I raised Ты better." Esme said, her nose wrinkled.
"Tell us about her please Edward." Emmett сказал(-а) as he gave Edward a dirty look.
"All I know is her name is Tallulah, she has an ability like Alice's. She saw Ты all coming, she knows things that will или could happen. Aro was very excited and proud that they had Tallulah, I don' think they would have told me about her, but someone let it slip."
"They must be very protective of her then." Carlisle сказал(-а) as he shook his head.
"Yeah, Demetri has a 'thing' for her." Edward сказал(-а) as he laughed. "He's very protective of her, his thoughts were only of her the entire time she was in the room."
"Did Ты get anything from her Edward?" Rosalie asked, leaning вперед so she could see him better.
"No. That is the strangest part." Edward сказал(-а) as his hands balled into fists. "I believe they have another new member. I believe they have someone who can block my...ability. I tried many times to 'listen' to her или others, but every time I try to hear just one person...it's like i am alone in the room. There are no other voices but my own..I don't understand. Have Ты ever heard of such a thing Carlisle?"
"No. I've never heard that this is possible. Alice, please try..one еще time."
I looked around and noticed that everyone was staring at me, all of their faces full of hope and anticipation..the last thing I wanted was to let them all down. I took a deep breath as I closed my eyes and shut out every sound and thought, blanking my mind until the only thought I had was of my family, Bella and the future that lie ahead of us. Nothing happened for a few minutes, I tried focusing in on just my family and still..nothing. I opened my eyes, frustrated that I failed...knowing that my entire family was relying on me to let them know what was going to happen and not being able to help them.
"Alice, love." Jasper сказал(-а) as he wrapped one hand around my shoulders, drawing me close to his side. "You are not a failure. Ты know that, please love..please try again. Know that I am here, supporting Ты through everything."
"We all are." Esme added, and just from the tone in her voice I knew she was smiling.
"Thank you." I сказал(-а) as I rested my head against Jaspers chest and once again focused on our future..my entire family's future.
