The Point Of No Return
I have brought you, that our passions
may fuse and merge - in your mind
you’ve already succumbed to me
dropped all defences completely succumbed to me -
now you are here with me: no second thoughts,
you’ve decided, decided . . .
Past the point of no return - no backward glances:
our games of make believe are at an end
Past all thought of “if” or “when” -
no use resisting: abandon thought,
and let the dream descend . . .

The Point Of No Return
"She- she's coming," Alice choked out suddenly. Her tiny body started shaking. She let herself fall back onto the couch she was standing in front of. All of the Cullen's were somewhere in the house; but at Alice's words, they all fled to the living room where Alice was. Esme looked worried, Edward's face was blank but angry, Emmett's hands were wrapped protectively around Rosalie, and Carlisle immediately sat at Alice's side. Jasper was now kneeling in front of her, his hands around her face trying to stop her shaking. "Alice, darlin', what did you see?" Jasper asked lovingly. He was worried, but he couldn't let her know that. She just kept looking at Jasper, her eyes locked with his. She wasn't moving, she wasn't taking her unnecessary breaths like she usually did. After a few moments, Jasper looked to Carlisle for help, but he found Carlisle looking just as confused as he was. Alice suddenly looked to Edward and she gently breathed out his name, "Edward…"Jasper's head snapped from Carlisle to Alice to Edward. His eyes met Edward's and he asked, "Edward? Who's coming?" At Jasper's words, Alice got up and ran to Edward. He immediately wrapped his arms around her.
She buried her head into his chest, so that no one could see her face. Jasper felt confusion from everyone, including himself. Jasper then felt Esme's hands on his shoulders, trying to comfort one understood what was happening. Everyone looked to Edward for answers, but when he didn't answer after a few minutes, Rosalie looked from Jasper to Esme to Carlisle to Emmett and then to Edward and Alice. "Well?" Rosalie hissed out. She looked right at Edward, but he couldn't meet her gaze. Jasper felt her confusion. Then her worry for Alice. And her sympathy for himself. Edward looked at everyone then directly at the floor. "Maria is coming," Edward said flatly, still holding the shaking Alice in his arms. Alice clung to Edward as the family took in what he had just said. Alice was always strong.
