Just a human

~~ Alice Cullen POV ~~

'I need to get everything ready for when Wade arrives.' I thought as I glanced at Eliza, who was seated beside me while Emmett drove us and everyone else in the car back home; just earlier, Wade agreed to come over, and I was very excited.

At the moment, school had just ended, and my family and I were on our way back home; most of us were all excited for Wade to come over, so we planned to prepare everything so he wouldn't be uncomfortable.

Usually, my family wasn't nice or welcoming to humans anywhere around the map, but Wade was the exception to this, and for good reason, he was mine and Eliza's soul mate, something which made him very unique throughout the entire world.

Around fifteen years ago, I had a vision, a vision of me and Eliza being held by a man; that man was Wade, and ever since then, I've had recurring visions of him. I saw his birth, his dealing with his blindness, his chaotic nature, and more.

My visions were usually like snippets of the future, but when it came to Wade, I could see more. I could watch him longer than I could my other vision, and I liked that; it let me know more about him, and fortunately, my half-blood sister, Eliza, could also see the visions.

Eliza and I were anomalies amongst the Vampires. We were blood sisters, and for this reason, we believe we are connected to that; our abilities are shared amongst each other. My original ability is future vision, which we share, and Eliza's was the manipulation of electromagnetism.

Obviously, the future vision wasn't something we could control, so whenever we got them, it was random, but Electromagnetism wasn't the same. Both Eliza and I could summon a bolt of lightning down from the sky at any time or even a storm of them; we were strong, strong enough to, at the very least, protect Wade.

Unlike myself, who was very outward with my feelings for Wade, Eliza denied hers profusely. In her words, Wade was a bother; his insistence on speaking to her was annoying, his scent was repulsing, and his voice was like nails on a chalkboard; she made it seem as if she hated him with all her being, but... I knew better than that.

My sister, Eliza Cullen, was outwardly the opposite of me, but inwardly, at her core, she and I were very similar. She said she hated Wade; she didn't. I saw the way she looked at him, guarded him from other women, sneakily marked him with her scent, aided him whenever he needed, and spoke with him in a gentle manner that she didn't even speak with me in. Eliza had it bad for Wade; I was certain of it.

I liked Wade a lot, and in my opinion, even more than my sister did; after all, I couldn't even hide it if I wanted, as she does. I wanted to be with Wade all the time, protect him all the time, keep him away from other women all the time, show him how I felt, cuddle with him, hold hands with him, talk with him, read with him; I wanted everything with Wade.

Wade made everything better; his presence had become like the secret elixir of life that everyone lusted after.

I remember distinctly the times when my siblings told me all of the details about their feelings for their mates. It was back then that I realized I was different from them, and after confirmation, the same could be said for Eliza.

My siblings all had feelings that started with an intense attraction toward their mates and grew everything from there, but that was because they met their partners directly. Neither Eliza nor I met our mate until recently, but we did have visions of him.

When I got my first vision of Wade, I developed an intense interest. I was attracted to him, but I was more interested in who Wade was and how he was different from others. With each passing day, my feelings toward him grew to the point where Edward called me blindly obsessed, but I called it devotion.

For years, I thought of Wade nonstop every single day. I had fantasies of the man far too many times to count. He was the most dominant thought in my mind ever since my first vision of him.

To make sure I never forgot his face when I wasn't having visions of him, I painted one picture of him each day and mounted it on my bedroom walls in every house we moved to. Additionally, since I was so nice, I put them up in Eliza's room as well, and though she always said it was annoying, not once did she take it down or attempt to stop me; that says enough.

'Wade...' I repeated his name in my mind for the thousandth time since we got into the car; I was excited for him to come over, but I would need to clean up my room since all of the stuff in there would make it hard for Wade to move around.

"Hello, my spawn, so, what did Wade say?" Carlisle said with a big smile as we entered the living room of the house; from my visions, I knew about Wade's secret musical identity and told my family; to say Carlisle and Esme were fans of his was an understatement, they were his devoted followers, just like pretty much everyone who listen to his music.

"He'll be coming over later, pop," Lynda replied with a smile; she would most likely ask Wade to play the piano for us later since she was a big music girl.

"Good, then clean up time, everyone," Esme said as she got up from Carlisle's lap.

This moment marked the beginning of the clean-up session around the house. We all knew Wade was blind, so we prepared for him; we didn't want any accidents happening, so we planned accordingly, and soon enough, it had been a little over three hours.

"Alice?" Lynda said with concern as I dropped the box I had in my hands before the rest of the family appeared to see what was going on.

"Eliza to..." Emmett continued as he walked over to the frozen vampire in the kitchen where Esme had just arrived

"They're having a vision," Edward stated seriously as he invaded my mind and waited for me to finish the vision.

A few moments later, Eliza and I finished the vision, but unlike moments ago, I wasn't happy in the slightest; I had just seen Wade being impaled by metal rods in a car crash, and our mate was in detrimental danger.

Instantly after finishing the vision, bottles of bright yellow and blue lighting crackled around Eliza and me before we disappeared from the house at speeds no vampire could ever hope to comprehend, let alone keep up with.

"Wade was in a crash," I heard Edward say as we left the house and went down the road. The rest of the family soon followed our scent to get to the destination we were heading, but to no avail; even we weren't fast enough.

Loudly, the sound of something huge crashing and flipping down the road caused me to regret my actions earlier; I always made sure to watch Wade after school from afar to make sure he was safe, but today, I cleaned up instead.

In front of me and Eliza was an 18-wheeler truck that was flipped on its side with the front end completely smashed into the huge tree on the left of the road; the driver was dead, but that wasn't what we cared about. It was the Rolls Royce that was upside down, broken apart with tens of metal rods stabbing through it, and was leaking the scent of Wade.

Just like the 18-wheeler truck, the front of the Rolls Royce was completely crushed, and even if it wasn't, the seven metal rods stabbing through the front would've done the shop, so I knew the driver was mostly likely dead, but so what? My brain wasn't even functioning at this point; neither was Eliza's as we stared at the bloodied scene dumbfoundedly.

At this moment, it felt like our brains had short-circuited. We couldn't even form a single coherent thought as our family arrived at our sides a few moments later. Moving on pure instincts, forgot about my electric abilities and ran toward the car with only my vampire speed with the thought of being able to save Wade if he was remotely alive with my venom.

Running toward the car, the scent of gasoline filled my nose, and the sound of something trying to ignite filled my ears. Then, in the next moment, a pale arm pulled me back, and the car Wade was in exploded.

"NO!" I screamed as Eliza stood with a broken expression on her face; again, our brains were short-circuiting; we couldn't even form a regular thought.

Breaking away from the grip of the person who pulled me back, I tried to take a step forward, only for Emmett to step in and hold me in place. I tried to use my electric ability but could not; it was a strong ability, but it required a stable mind to use, and I was by no means stable at this moment.

"LET ME GO!" I screamed at Emmett as I clawed at his hands like an animal. Wade was right there! I was just a few steps away!

"Alice..." Rosalie said with a soft voice she almost never used, trying to ease me while Eliza stood in a manner that told anyone she'd break apart if even a single gust of wind fell upon her.

"LET ME GO!!!" I screamed again at the top of my lungs as I thrashed around as much as I could to break free from Emmett, but I couldn't; his gift was the strength of a newborn vampire, which I couldn't contend with right now.

I continued screaming and thrashing around for around 20 seconds until I fell completely limp with tears streaming down my face; Wade was just a human... He couldn't survive that. I was left with nothing now. Wade was everything, and now everything was gone all because of my mistake, all because I wasn't there to protect him like I should've been.

"Alice..." Esme said with a tone that expressed how sorry and worried she felt for me; every vampire in the world knew that when one's mate died, one's life was over; they lost the will to live. But just as Esme was about to continue speaking, we all heard a voice come from the car.

"Fugly cugglesucking puppy coins! I look like fucking Wade!" Wade's voice sounded through the surroundings as we all watched in awe. The vehicle that was just on fire broke apart, further revealing to us that it was a completely unrecognizable man.

Wade was burnt to a crisp, missing an arm, a foot, and a hand; half of his abdomen was gone, and there were holes everywhere through his body, but most importantly, there was a metal rod straight through his head; if a child saw him now, he would definitely give him nightmares for life.

"Aw wait, I am Wade..." the disfigured man said before laughing hysterically; he was acting as if nothing had happened, like he wasn't just in a horrific car accident. What caught everyone's attention more than that was the fact that Wade was regenerating fast, like extremely fast.

"I should get a better gun; explosion-proof stuff is a must nowadays. Never know when shit'll go down." Wade said as he rummaged through the still-flaming car, looking for his stuff which obviously didn't survive the explosion like he had.

"WALTER! I CAN'T FIND MY DAMN GUN!" He shouted, and in the next moment, a butler could be seen walking out of the woods.

"Sir, was there a need to throw me so far?" Walter asked as he fixed his suit while walking toward Wade, who was looking around.

"That's a shit 'thank you' if I've ever heard one," Wade replied before pausing and very slowly looking down at his lower area.

"NO! My john! Come back!" He screamed in despair as a still regenerating hand swiped over his groin.

"Walter! BILRUS IS GONE!" Wade continued as he got out of the flaming car and his butler looked downward at his lower region and nodded.

"Indeed he is, sir," Walter confirmed, causing Wade's worst fear to come true.

"Oh god... no, NO! WHY ME?!" He shouted as he fell to the ground dramatically.

It was at this point everyone was at their peak of surprise, speechless at what they were seeing, so speechless in fact that the more blood-hungry members of our family weren't affected by the blood in the air, and due to that, Emmett's grip around me loosened allowing me to escape and run at Wade.

"WADE!" I shouted as I ran at my mate; finally, I had regained my bearings, and soon enough, Eliza was directly beside me.

"Huh? Oh, hey, sugar plums, just give me a bit; I'm having a moment." Wade replied as Eliza and I arrived at each side of him and began examining him frantically; despite what happened, Wade seemed very easygoing as he rubbed our arms with his baby limbs.

"Hehe, you're so cold!" He squealed.
