Dear Bella

Chapter 1

I cannot believe that I did not see that this was going to happen. Edward asked me not to watch and I knew that I should not have listened to him. Leaving my sister, disgusting. I was so devastated by leaving you Bella my best friend I should like to give you proof of that you mean so much – I actually found myself unable to shop. Jasper found it difficult to be in the same room as me as my guilt and devastation that added to my pain and his as well but I could not help that. I think there was a period, I think of about 3 weeks where we didn't see each other he couldn't bare to even look at me and feel the upset at our leaving you. I was so mad at Edward when he made us leave, I did not dare come say goodbye to you though Bella because I know I would not have been able to leave you. But enough of the past now is a time for the future.

I am so happy Bella that you have become like us. I have seen it from our first meeting and now we will be best friends and sisters forever. I wish it had not been like that for you though Bella to be changed feeling such fear those are the memories that I am glad I am missing I don't even like to imagine what was going through my mind and what pain I was in when I was changed. But I will make it up to you Bella for not being there with you for not being there to help you through those visions. I do remember the first vision I recall, the shock, the fear as they moved through my mind as I realised seeing papers or dates and realising that the things I was seeing hadn't happened yet. I cannot wait though to share what I see with you because though Jasper partially understands because he does have a gift he cannot understand what it is like to see the pictures and flashes I see just as I cannot truly appreciate what he has to deal with being consequently bombarded with emotion.

You may wonder why I am writing now. I spoke with Esme and she told me of your letter and of the letter she had written to you as a way to be close. It seemed like a good idea to write down how I feel. I hope that it will also help you, I have seen others that have been changed and it often leaves the new vampire disorientated and not really sure what is going on around them. I hope this will help Bella in explaining some things and will tell you that you are loved (I couldn't shop!!!) . We will talk soon in person and I will be able to wrap my arms around you and I will not have to worry about breaking the human.

If you do struggle to take in this Bella remember this one thing as the most important,

I have loved you as a sister and a friend, I loved you when Edward asked us to leave Forkes and I will continue to love you for the rest of eternity

Your devoted sister

Alice

P.S. I cannot wait for Bella Barbie time. I do not need a vision to know that you will be a beautiful vampire.
