Ace Of Runes

Chapter 3: Control, Avoid & Researching for Researches.

Edward stormed out of the Office and towards his car, where the rest of his family were waiting for him. Emmett was staring at him with a confused face, but Alice just sighed as if she was expecting something like this to happen.

"Get In." Edward growled aggressively.

They all got in the car without any questions. Edward sped out of the campus, not giving a second thought to any mundane who might see them and question the inhumane speed of the car. Rosalie gasped and was about to say something when Edward interrupted.

"Rose, I am not in the mood to answer your questions or even listen to any of your talks, so don't bother. I can hear enough of it from your head." Edward said hotly, his temper not calming even a bit.

"You're leaving, aren't you?" Alice asked in a small voice.

"Am I?" Edward asked, his voice softening as he heard the sadness in her voice. He, in Alice's mind, saw himself sitting in a snow-covered forest under the night sky. Alice knew that he had seen it.

"But why?" She asked. Her question was answered as soon as it was out of her mouth.

Edward watched as an another vision popped in her head. In this, he was a holding a dead Rhea in his arms with the skin on her neck torn apart and blood covering every inch of her face. Then the vision shifted. Now, he was facing Rhea's back as she was standing in front of the kitchen counter, taking some things out of he yellow cupboards, unaware of Edward who was walking towards her with his hands stretched before him, ready to kill her and drin-

"Stop it, Alice!" Edward exclaimed.

"Sorry." She said.

Edward drove fast and quietly. He made it pretty clear with his posture and face, that no questions were going to be entertained. He might've looked collected outside but inside, his mind was raging with questions.

Who is she? Why does she affect him so much? Why can't he read her mind like he can do with others? What is it about her that sets her apart from others? Where will he get all the answers to his Questions?

He parked his car in the garage and waited for everyone to get out after which he himself climbed out. He stormed upstairs to his room. He knew that the others were going to ask for some answers to Alice.

He sat and listened to some CDs, till the Sun sank and Carlisle returned home. He first listened to everyone and what they were thinking.

He had to get away from this place. Away from her. From Rhea. He walked out of his room and down the stairs. He knew that everyone had come to know of his day when he heard Emmett's boisterous laugh from the dining room, in his room.

He had made up his mind. While on his way to Carlisle, he saw perched on the window sill with legs hanging outside. He walked towards her and poked her from the back.

"Hey." He said to her as she turned to face him.
"I'll miss you." She said sadly before he could say anything.

"For how long will I be gone?" Edward said, leaning against the wall beside the window.
"I can't see how long but I can see where you'll be. You'll be in Denali. But please just promise me that you'll be back home really fast." Alice said wistfully.
"I promise." He said placing his long hand on hers.

"You should go and tell Carlisle." She said. Edward nodded.

He walked towards the hall with slow yet steady steps. First, he saw Rosalie who was scowling. Then he saw the gentle and caring face of Esme, the amused face of Emmett, Jasper's emotionless face and Carlisle's calm expression. He walked up to Carlisle.
