Esme shook her head "No, Tanya would never do this. She simply can't...Kate is her own sister!"

Chapter 12: Problems

Suddenly Edward whipped his head and looked over my shoulder, a blank expression on his face. I frowned and turned around and saw that Alice was just standing there, doing nothing, with a blank expression on her face. I looked back at Edward. He had frozen completely and his expression told me that whatever Alice was seeing wasn't good. My voice trembled a little as I spoke.

"Wha..what Edward..what is Alice seeing?"

Alice answered me instead as she snapped out of her vision "The Denalis...something is wrong with them."

I just stared.

Esme and Carlisle flitted to Alice's side as she said that. Alice was staring at Edward with a fearful expression on her face. They were communicating silently. Carlisle placed a hand on Alice's shoulder

"Alice, what did you see?" His face was calm however his eyes were full of worry and unspoken fears. The Denalis were like a second family to us.

Alice turned to face Carlisle. By now everyone was here and Jasper came to stand beside Alice and took her hand in his own.

"I saw a vision just now, Kate, Garrett, Carmen and Eleazer are coming this way, but Tanya is not with them. Kate and Carmen were very distressed ...they will be here in one hour."

Esme frowned "What do you mean Tanya was not with them?" She turned to Carlisle with fearful eyes "Do you think something happened to..." she trailed off.

Carlisle looked equally concerned "Let's hope that it's just a minor problem."

Alice looked doubtful "I think something is seriously wrong, Carlisle. They looked very unhappy and distressed..." she looked at Edward for confirmation and he nodded.

The Denalis were coming here; probably they were in some danger...but from what? Involuntarily the thought of Volturi came into my mind. I had always associated the Volturi with danger.

Esme spoke up "We should probably just go inside and wait for them to come."

Alice's eyes glazed over for a moment and she nodded "Yes, they will come from the northwest direction and will catch our trail.....no they have already caught it. They will be here soon."

Everyone rushed inside and I saw that Renesmee was sketching over a piece of paper. She looked up at me and smiled when she saw me looking at her sketch. I turned it around and gasped. Renesmee had sketched me, Edward and Jacob and with startling clarity and precision. It looked like some grown up artist had drawn it. She had sketched our faces only and over them she had written the words "FOREVER, FOREVER, FOREVER a family."

My eyes started to prickle and I picked up Renesmee and hugged her tightly.

"Your drawing is beautiful, Renesmee. You are going to be an artist one day. You are a perfectionist, just like you dad."

Edward came up beside me and smiled at the drawing with an amazed look in his eyes. He still looked a little worried about Alice's vision, but he hid it well. He took us both into his arms and whispered in my ear, "Forever, indeed."

Everyone sat in the living room, waiting for the Denalis to show up. Esme and Carlisle looked very worried and even Alice looked restless. After about fifty minutes, Alice looked up with wide eyes and cocked his head towards his right. Alice got up suddenly,
