A brief teaser of Chapter 10 - The Bottom:
Alice had been wandering the hospital for a good eight hours or more when her vision of her family went completely black.
For a moment she stilled completely, fear keeping her from churning into action the way she knew she should.
A human – maybe a doctor or nurse – touching her arm and asking her if she was alright had her spinning and racing away from the mere mortal. In that instant, she didn't care if she revealed her true nature to the whole damn hospital.
She was already pretty sure she was going to lose her best friend – her sister in all but blood. She was already losing Edward, with every moment that passed she was more and more sure of that.
She refused to lose anyone else that mattered to her.
She couldn't let it happen.
Alice darted down one hall after another, hearing some startled breaths as she passed by the foolish humans – even though she knew they couldn't really see anything, just a blur rushing by. It would be concerning to her... if she wasn't so worried about her family at the moment. But her family was all that mattered to her.
When she reached the hall that nested Bella's room, she heard it, a voice from just a couple days ago – a voice she never thought she'd hear again.
