Chapter 17: Promises

Jessica’s POV:

Rosalie looked down slightly as she heard my words. I could feel many different emotions radiating from her; some which were unusual for Rosalie. I tried to sort through her thoughts, but it seemed as if her thoughts were just a mix of words and confusion.

Finally, she turned towards me; giving me a look that I will never be able to forget in my whole life. Her facial expressions seemed so complex and confused that I couldn’t understand whether it was a look of anger or hurt. It frightened me to see the usually head- strong Rosalie, swapped with such a vulnerable and fragile looking other.

“Is there something wrong Rosalie?” I asked her cautiously, not wanting to push her into an uncomfortable state

“Actually,” she began in such a small voice that I was wondering if it was her real voice or just her thoughts. “I was wondering, you said that you have pretty much every power imaginable, correct?” she asked me in a hush tone.

I hesitated to answer her for a moment, too afraid to think where this conversation could be leading. “ I have a few powers, yes.” My voice just as cautious as it was to begin with.

She started to walk towards me but stopped right in her tracks, confused at whether or not she should come closer to me.

I had to let out a laugh at her puzzled thoughts, “ I don’t bite, I promise.” I told her while trying to hold in my laughter at the lame joke that I just unintentionally made.

Rosalie cracked a small smile at me before taking a few more steps towards where I was standing; still making sure to stand behind the invisible line that she had created.

 “I was wondering if it happened to be that one of your powers was time travel_”

“Rosalie.” I started to say but she cut me off

“I know that you think that this life is beautiful and full of magic and I’m sure that you have your reasons for that! But I know that you have much knowledge of my past, I know that it was not the most perfect past imaginable, but that was my life! Yes, Roy did end up messing up much of it, but I just want to see what would have happened to me if I didn’t get turned into a vampire. I need to know if all the missing and the wishing that I am doing is all for a good reason. I want to know the full story.” She finished, meeting my eyes for the first time. I couldn’t turn away; they were just so full of power and desperation that I swear I felt my heart break.

I looked down at the ground below me; the pretty flowers now had lost all their color and started to rely on the moon for comfort.

“Rosalie, no matter what I say to you, you are not going to believe me until you see it for yourself, right?” I asked her, my voice thick with an emotion that I could not describe.

She looked at me incredulously.

“No.” she simple answered,“ I will not.”

I sighed and brought my hands up to rub my face, “Well, I can’t bring you there. I do not have the ability to bring you back or forward in time. But what I can do is go back in time for you and tell you step by step how everything was to work out. How does that sound?” I asked her in a lifeless tone, suddenly wanting to just go back home and go to sleep.

Rosalie lit up like a Christmas tree with brand new lights, “I would be eternally grateful!” She spoke as if it was a completely different Rosalie. One that believed that there was something to look forward to.

“But you can’t tell anyone about this, ok?” I told her in a sternly, “I can’t do this for everyone. I am doing this for you because I want you to finally make peace with your past and just be happy with the present that you are living in.” My voice suddenly turning into a calm and nurturing one

She smiled kindly at me, “Jessica, no matter what you tell me of my past I will let it go and move on. I just need to know, and of course I won’t tell anyone.”

“Well I’m glad I can help, Rosalie.” I grinned

Just as she was about to turn and run away, she stopped, turned around and ran over to give me a hug and “thank you so much” before running off into the forest that would now hold not but one more memory within it.
