A growl ripped through my teeth and everyone stared at me, stunned.

Chapter 13: Visions

Two days had passed since the Denalis left. The atmosphere around the home was mournful. Tanya was still missing and the Denalis were searching for her everywhere they could. Jasper and Emmett had gone with them to help them track her down, but it yielded no result, the trail had vanished. I was very scared after this incident. Tanya had been family to the other Denalis…I couldn't imagine losing any one member of my family like that. What if it had been Edward or Alice? Or Esme who was like a second mother to me? I did not even dare to think that would have happened if I had lost Renesmee that way. The thought was way too painful. Carlisle was affected the most by the disappearance of Tanya. He had known Tanya for so long. Most of the time he remained locked in his study and whenever he came out, he spoke very less and to the point. Why was the Volturi doing this? What would they want from Tanya? I would have understood if they had taken Kate as she had a gift…but Tanya?

I snapped out of my thoughts as Alice gasped. I spun around to face her. She was standing in the middle of the living room staring at nothing, with her mouth slightly open, forming an expression of utmost horror. I rushed to her, but the others were there before me. Carlisle shook her shoulder slightly "What did you see Alice? Is it about Tanya?"

She spoke although her eyes were still unfocused. "The Volturi…they will kill everyone…I have to warn them….WE HAVE TO WARN THEM!"

Everyone was as unnerved as I was as Alice screamed and snapped out of her vision. Edward was staring at Alice with horror. Renesmee came behind me and tugged at the hem of my T-shirt "Momma what is happening? Is Aunt Alice okay?"

"Everyone is fine darling-" I looked at Rosalie and she understood what I was trying to say to her silently. She picked up Renesmee "Come one Neisse sweetie, let's go to your room…we will play dress up."

Renesmee shot me an unconvinced glance but allowed herself to be lead away by Rosalie.

I turned back to Alice who was speaking is a very fast, low voice "Carlisle, the Volturi is planning to massacre everyone who had stood witness by our side. I think Tanya might be dead already-"

Everyone winced violently and Esme clutched her chest "Oh my..."

But Alice spoke on " But Carlisle, we have to save everyone…we have to warn them….I just saw a vision of everyone dead…burning in huge fires while the Volturi surrounded it..they will kill us too if we are not prepared…"

Her words were followed by a deadly silence. A growl ripped through my teeth and everyone stared at me, stunned "Will this ever end? Why don't they leave us alone?" I was seeing red and there was a metallic taste in my mouth. I wanted to harm, hurt, and kill anyone who tried to harm my family, my husband and my daughter. Unknowingly I had crouched down and was still growling. Suddenly the overwhelming emotions that I was feeling dissolved into something else…a forced calm...but it helped me think. I saw that Jasper had placed a hand on my shoulder and was trying to relax me. I straightened up and took an unnecessary breath. I glanced at Edward; he was looking at me with worried eyes.

I looked down "I am sorry it's just -"

"No Bella its fine, we understand how you must be feeling." Carlisle said in a stony voice.

My eyes started prickling horribly and I had to blink several times to make it go. Edward walked up to me and put an arm around my waist. I looked up at him. How many more times will I almost lose him?

Involuntarily I started thinking about the time when I had been hospitalized after James had attacked me and Edward had spoken of us being separated for my own good…..the time when Edward had abandoned me in the woods and I had lived like a dead body all those months…the time when newborns had attacked and I realized the I loved Jake too and that I could lose Edward over this….the time when I had been pregnant and almost died…fearing that I would never be able to see him again…and the time when we had stood in the clearing..waiting…waiting for the Volturi to come…submerged in the depths of hopelessness…..and now…when I thought my life was just perfect…

I knew it. I just knew that everything cannot be just so perfect for me; after all I am a trouble magnet. I always used to think….what had I done to deserve a life so perfect? I had a loving husband with whom I got to share the whole eternity, my whole existence. I had an angelic daughter who was dearer to me than my own life. I had a loving family whom I loved and they loved me back just the same. Just as I was beginning to believe that everything would be perfect now…my world came crashing down…it feels like my trouble magnet "talent" too got enhanced along with my other senses…to attract dangers….dangers that I have never even dreamt about in my human life….

I looked around at everyone's faces….the faces of my family…I cannot lose them. I will fight.

I focused on Carlisle now who was looking very odd with anger etched on every plane of his face. He spoke slowly "Well, that settles matters then. We will fight this time…this has to end…either we will or they."

Everyone looked at Carlisle with shock. He had always been so calm and gentle that no one expected him to stand up like this and talk about war. Esme looked at him with concern.

"But Carlisle, couldn't we do anything that will put off this fight? I don't want to…" She trailed off.

"This will go on forever if we don't act now. I cannot see my children and my wife being threatened and endangered again and again." he spoke coldly.

Emmett sniggered, as usual, least affected by any serious situation "Yeah, we will show them this time who is the boss!"

Rosalie, who was back by now, glared at him. Jasper spoke up then "I think you are right, Carlisle, we have to plan this strategically and…"

They continued to talk and Alice sped outside, rubbing her temples. I went after her.

"Alice, who are they planning to attack first?" I asked her slowly. My dry veins were tingling slightly as though current was passing through them.

She spoke without opening her eyes" I think they are aiming for the Irish coven first. I saw them capturing Maggie. We have to act as soon as we can or we will be too late…." She trailed off.

I turned around slowly and walked back to Edward slowly. I was feeling numb….I had expected something like this to happen…but this soon? Just after I barely started my life with Edward and my family?

Edward put an arm around my waist and murmured in my ear "We will get over this Bella…we will fight. And we will live."

I looked up into his liquid gold eyes. I could not lose him. I would not lose him.

Carlisle addressed us all then "Okay everyone get ready, Jasper take some money with you too just in case."

I frowned and asked him "Where are we going?"

He turned to me and spoke in a firm voice "To Israel."
