-I'm not so sure about this. What if goes wrong? - Alessandra asks fearfully, walking side to side throughout the Cullen house living room.
-Sweetheart, everything's gonna be fine. - Edward speaks when seeing his partner's worry.
-Of course, not. Things are different in my reality. There are no vampires nor werewolves.
-Nothing bad's gonna happen, girlie. Edward will probably disappear or not exist there, but you stay calm. - The human turns to Emmett, and, without helping it, she tries hitting his head, but he dodges it with a grin.
-Everything's gonna be all right. It's getting late, and two should be in your parents' house. - Alice smiles. - Please take care of her.
Edward smiles at her words, and stands up from the couch immediately, approaching his partner to hold her waist.
-Don't worry, Alice. We'll be fine. - He assures to the pixie-haired, who nods.
Rosalie hugs Alessandra, for which Edward lets go off her waist. The brown-haired returns the blonde vampire's hug with a smile.
-It won't be too long, Rose. - She rubs the vampire's back.
-I know, but I can't help worrying. Ethan could be there in your reality and we wouldn't be able to protect you. - Rosalie pulls apart, taking Alli's hands.
-Don't worry. I'm taking this with me. - The human shows the small self-defense kit the blonde gave her.
-Use it even if it isn't Ethan. - Alessandra nods firmly, making her feel better.
She says goodbye to the Cullen patriarchs, all of her siblings-in-law. And, seconds later, she finds herself Edward, holding his hand.
-I don't know if this'll work. Let's hope it does. - Alli touches her biological mother's necklace with her free hand, looking at her partner.
They both close their eyes, her thinking on her home. Immediately, the couple is surrounded by a carmine fog with some black parts. After a few seconds, the soulmates disappear from the Cullen house.
-All right, I'll go get ready to go to the woods. - Emmett stands up from the couch, heading to his room.
-We'll be out before 12:00. Victoria will be passing through around 11:00. - Alice walks to the library with Jasper along with Esme and Carlisle.
Rosalie follows Emmett, her thoughts on Alessandra. She just hopes Ethan isn't in her friend's reality.

Alessandra opens her eyes, realizing she finds herself in her bedroom. She smiles by how everything is just like the last time she was there.
-My mom accommodated my room. - She whispers, seeing her bed made. She turns to her partner, him finding himself standing in front of a full-body mirror. Edward keeps staring at his refletion, realizing he has the same aspect as when he was human. - Sweetie? - Alli slowly walks up to him. Edward smiles and turns around to his soulmate. The girl's eyes widen in astonishment by seeing the guy's green eyes. She approaches him immediately to delicately caress his cheek. - We have the same temperature. - She whispers with a smile.
Edward raises one hand toward the girl's cheek, a smile on his face.
-I feel strange. - He admits, a weird sensation on his chest.
-You're breathing. - Alessandra comments, watching how his chest goes up and down as he breathes.
The guy hugs her, her responding immediately.
-Alessandra? - A feminine voice calls, walking up the stairs.
The mentioned one pulls away from Edward to look at her bedroom door. She smiles with excitement and runs to it.
-Mom! Mom! - She yells while opening the door.
Bianca's eyes fill with tears when seeing her daughter again after so many months. Mother and daughter run to each other and hug tightly. Both of them start crying when feeling each other's arms.
-My beautiful girl. - Bianca whispers, her voice breaking. Stroking her little girl's hair.
Carlo runs up the stairs, finding the wonderful sceen of her wife hugging their only daughter.
-Princess? - Alessandra pulls apart from her mom's arms, turning to her father.
-Dad! - She exclaims before jumping to her dad's arms.
The man immediately returns the hug, starting to let out several happy tears. He strokes the girl's, without believing she's back.
-My princess, you don't know how I've missed you. - He whispers, voice broken.
-I missed you two so much, Dad. - Alessandra smiles, without pulling apart.
Bianca smiles at the scene, and, out of reflex, she turns to her daughter's room, realizing there's a handsome green-eyed young man.
-Who's this handsome young man? - Edward smiles kindly at the woman, slowly walking up to her.
Alli pulls apart from her father, turning to her soulmate while wiping her tears with a smile.
-Mom. Dad. - The girl approaches the guy, taking his arm. - This is Edward Cullen. My soulmate.
Bianca smiles at him while Carlo scans him multiple times.
-Pleasure to meet you, Mr. and Mrs. Vitore. - Edward greets politely.
The woman claps excitedly and immediatly approaches him to hug him. Alessandra chuckles at the action.
-Welcome to the family, darling.
Carlo approaches the boy, his expression serious. The girl laughs lightly by her father's expression. The man extends his hand to Edward, him taking it.
-Pleased to meet you, Edward. I hope you're not like the idiotic Ethan. - He speaks threatingly.
-Oh, no, Dad. I assure you Edward's much better than him. - Alli tells her father.
-Well, then, welcome to the family. - Carlo changes his expression, a smile on his face now.
Edward nods nervously, pulling his hand away from his father-in-law. The now green-eyed guy looks at his partner, who gives him a calming smile.

The Cullens find themselves gathered in a part of the forest. Everyone keeps quiet while looking around attentively.
-Are you sure you saw her here, Alice? - Carlisle asks the pixie-haired, who's stayed sielnt for a long while.
-She's almost here. - She affirms. Everyone stays silent again, until the vampire seer tenses. - On your left! - Everyone runs in that direction at the same time, following the redheaded vampire.
Emmett grabs her shoulder, and, before he could stop, the redhead grabs his, throwing him away. Victoria jumps to a lake, looking back. Realizing the Cullens stopped on their tracks.
-She's in their territory. - The Cullen patriarch before running right along with his family.
-She's getting away! - Esme screams, running beside Jasper.
Out of nowhere, three wolves appear in order to hunt the intruder.
-No, she won't! - Jasper yells back.
Before the wolves could hunt the redhead, she jumps to the other side with agility, being chased by Emmett and Jasper. The blond takes an impulse in rder to get closer, but she dodges him, making him fall to the ground, growling in annoyance. Emmett keeps running, without noticing he's close enough to cross to the wolf territory.
-Emmett, stop! - Rosalie orders. But it's too late. The mentioned one was jumping to the other side, but it stopped by Paul in his wolf form.
The strongest Cullen falls into the water, glaring at Paul, who snarls at him. Victoria smiles at the scene before resuming her way.
