Author's notes and babble!!
Wow! I'm really proud of myself right now. This has been the first time I've actually had a story planned out in my head. Not to mention this is my first time writing in this kinda format. So I'm sorry if everything isn't as descriptive as it could be. ; I'm a recently turned Twilight nut and couldn't help but at least try to type this story up when I was inspired by it about a month ago. I hope you guys enjoy it.
Disclamer: I don't own any Twilight characters or any movie/ TV show referrence in this fanfic. HOWEVER My characters Lisa and Alex are MINE and mine only! I though about them for a long time, planning out appearances and personalities. So start!
Dorthy's Not in Kansas and We're not in Illinois!
Two girls were walking down the street. One dressed in all black, her hair was shoulder length and was dyed black. Next to her was a girl in black short, jacket and hat. She wore a green tanktop and her hair, despite being naturally brown, was tipped green. The two have been walking for a while and were staring to feel lost. And so begins our story.
"Uh, Lisa. Are you sure you know your way home?" Alex questioned her green haired friend.
"Of course I do!" She said proudly, "Why would you say something like that?"
"Gee, I don't know. Maybe because we've been looking for your house for over 40 min!? And you were never really good with directions." It was beginning to get dark and street lamps were turning on and lighting up the street.
"Uhhhh...we're taking the detour?"
"We ARE lost!!"
"Why you mad at me!? It's your house we're trying to find!"
"Yeah, but I don't know my way around your neighborhood."
Lisa sighed, and then realized something. "Not to worry! I've brought my CELL PHONE!!" She whipped out her cell phone over dramatically and turned it on. The cell phone died right away.
" Why meeeee... " T.T She moaned. Alex nudged her friend.
"Yo! Baka! I think that dude's been following us for a while now." She said in hushed tone as she glance down at the ground to see a shadow of a man. Lisa turned to see what her friend was talking about until Alex whakced her.
" OW! What was that for!?" Lisa yelled, rubbing her head.
"Haven't you ever seen the movies!? If you turn around now, he'll know we know he's following us!"
"Wow, that's confusing." Lisa muttered.
"Yeah, I know." Alex glanced uneasily back at the ground. "Maybe he's part of a gang." She thought out loud.
"Alex, we live in Homer Glen. Gangs around here consist of 70 year old grannies who ride bikes. When a cop pulls a man over for speeding, the man says 'Sorry, officer. I thought my foot hit the brakes.'" They both laughed at the image they had in their heads.
"Yeah, that's true. Maybe you're right." Alex chuckled.
"Right about what?"
Suddenly the creepy stalker man appeared right behind them and lunged at the two girls.
"OW!! " Lisa cried out in pain and gripped her arm, "What the heck did you do to my arm!?" Blood began to ooze out of the cut in her arm. The stranger had a deranged look in his eyes. He smiled a menacing smile.
"Mhmmmm, it smells so good." He said and licked his fingers. Alex snapped back to reality.
"This guy's insane! Let's go!" She grabbed her friend by the arm and ran down the street.
"Which way!?" Alex asked, panicked.
"Uh, Left?" Alex took Lisa's advice and turned left. They found themselves running in the middle of a forest in a matter of seconds, leaving the neighborhood behind them.
"Since when do you live near a forest? "O.O;
"Wow! We must of gotten really lost! Ehehehe..."
"Is he still following?"
"Don't know. I lost sight of him when we entered the forest. " They stopped running and tried to catch their breath. They weren't used to running so fast for so long. Alex turned around to face the direction they just came from. As she turned, she spoke.
"Well let's jus- AHH!"
"WhaAAH!" Lisa turned around to see the creepy man blocking their way back home. Alex stepped back, while keeping her eyes on the man. She didn't see Lisa, though, and when she stepped, she tripped over her, sending them both spiraling down the hill. Below, a bright light began to shine. They notice the light and then black out as they both hit something very hard.
Hours Later...
"Owww, my head hurts. Lisa? You here?" Alex whispered in the dark.
"Look below." A muffled voice said.
"Oh, sorry." Alex got off Lisa and they both sat up.
"Uhhhhh...I need an aspirin. Maybe three bottles." Lisa grumbled.
"Yeah, I know the feeling. How's your arm doing?"
"Hm? Oh yeah! That. Ow." Lisa mumbled, thinking of the new pain."That freak must of cut me with a knife or something." The blood had stopped pouring out, but it was crusted over the wound.
"Old Grannies with bikes, huh? More like serial killers." Alex's eyes narrowed.
"Ehehehehe, right." Thunder could be heard in the distant.
"Hm, that's weird. It doesn't look like it's going to rain." Alex held out her hand.
"Don't remember the weather guy saying anything about rain. Don't see any lightning either."
"Maybe a bomb went off!" Alex though out loud.
"YES! That's clearly it! That must be why we're still sitting here in one piece!"
"Haha. Speaking of sitting, the ground is all muddy. I'm standing." Alex begins to rise, only to hear a sound from behind Lisa. "Uh." Alex's eyes got wide.
"Wha?" A shadow began to move in the forest.
"EEP!" They both screamed. It was the crazy stalker dude beginning to wake up from the tumble he took. They both got up and ran before the man could regain consciousness and realize they were there.
"What way Lisa?"
"Uh...uh..."
"You don't know!?"
"Uh, no! This doesn't look familiar to me at all! Weird. We should've seen some houses by now..."
"Wait, I see a clearing up ahead!"
The duo burst through the forest and into the clearing. There, was what appeared to be a family playing baseball.
"HA! See I told you! When am I ever wrong?" A girl with short black hair proclaimed to no one in particular.
"Yay. Civilization." Lisa mumbled. The two were about ready to collapse when they heard a voice come from behind that gave them a start.
"I've got the-"
"AHHH!" Lisa and Alex grabbed on to each other and yelled. They jumped back and turned around to see a teenage boy with brown hair. He stared back at them startled to see their appearance too.
"Um, hi?" The brown hair boy said. He glanced at the black hair girl, looking confused.
"Oh, you're not the creepy guy." Lisa said with relief.
"Uh what?" mumbled the boy
"You mean you actually got a good look at him?" Alex turned to her friend.
"Yeah. It's easy to get a good look at a person when they're trying TO STAB YOU TO DEATH!!"
"Oh, right." .; Alex mumbled.
"Stabbed?" Now the boy was really confused.
"Yeah! You should of seen it!" Lisa turned to the boy and spoke to him like she knew him all her life. (too engrossed in her story) "We were walking in my neighborhood and then all of a sudden, this guy came out of no where and started following us. We were going to turn and run but then he was suddenly there and WHAM! He cut me." She pointed to her wounded arm.
" I see..." he glanced over to a blond boy and then over to a blond hair man.
"Wow, do you know him, Lisa?" Alex questioned
"Of course not!! But I was in the moment." She smiled.
"Well, how about I clean up that wound for you."
They both jumped again and eeped at the sound of a new voice coming from behind them.
"Sorry, I didn't mean to scare you." said the blond hair man.
"It's...o.k." Alex said. How do these people do this? I didn't even hear him.
"Good. Well you have a cut? Here, follow me and I'll clean it up for you." stated the blond man.
"Ummmm...sure?" Lisa turned to her friend who just shrugged. "I guess so."
"Alright then." The blond man smiled and turned to walk away.
The two girls took the hint and decided to follow him, feeling uncomfortable the whole time.
OUTSIDE THE HOUSE...
"WHOA! This is where you live?!" Lisa stated with big eyes.
"I didn't think your neighborhood had these kinds of houses, Lisa." Alex stated with the same astonishment.
" Th-they don't."
" Feel free to come inside." said a woman with brown curly hair. She appeared to be the blond hair man's wife.
"Thank you." the two stated as they walked in.
INSIDE THE HOUSE...
The blond hair man just finished putting in the last stitch in Lisa's arm.
"O.k., you can open your eyes now." the blond man told Lisa. They found out the hard way that she was afraid of needles when he whipped out one and Lisa nearly passed out from the sight.
"Thanks a lot. I appreciate it."
"How did you say you got that cut again?" The brown hair boy spoke up from the back wall.
"Um, well, this guy appeared out of NOWHERE and slashed my arm open!! It would be cool, if it wasn't my arm." Lisa rubbed her arm at the thought of the pain.
"So it would be o.k. If it was Alex's arm?" The short, black hair girl asked.
"No-WAIT! How do you know Alex's name?"
"I heard you use it." the girl stated smugly.
"Oh." They both said.
"And your name is Lisa! Correct?" the black hair girl pointed.
"Um, yes."
"WELL, MY name is Alice! That's Edward." She pointed to the brown haired guy who scared them earlier. " Next to him is his girlfriend Bella. Next to her is Emmet, Rosalie, and the one in the corner is Jasper!" The one called Jasper seemed to be keeping his distance from the two girls. If you consider distance in football fields. "The one who helped you out is Carlisle. And that's Esme." she pointed towards the two.
"Hello." Alex and Lisa said again, feeling a little awkward.
"Ummm, well, if it's ok with you people. I think we should go home before my mom decides to call the SWAT team in after us." Lisa spoke up shyly.
"Oh man. What time is it?" Alex said, shocked.
The girl called Bella got up to check the clock. "Uh, it says it's 10:30." The expressions on the girls dropped.
"Didn't we leave your house at 8?" Alex turned to Lisa.
"Yeah, but. Man, Now I know what they mean when they say 'Time flies when you're having fun.'"
"You had fun getting your arm stitched?" Alice spoke up.
"Yeah, it was a blast." Lisa stated sarcastically.
"Wow, really?" Alice looked astonished.
"It's called sarcasm, Alice." Emmett stated.
"Well, I suppose you should be getting back home." Carslile stated as he stood up.
"I'll take them. I have to bring Bella home, anyway." Edward said as he and Bella moved towards the door. "You can tell me the way home, correct?" The duo stood there for a moment. After a sec, Alex turned towards Lisa.
"He's talking to you, dimwit!" She said, annoyed.
"Oh, uh...sure!" Edward turned towards Alex.
"You sure?"
"Don't look at me. It's her house." Alex nudged Lisa, while Edward just shook his head back and forth.
"Well, this will be interesting." .;; Bella tried to put her boyfriend at ease.
"Yeah, right." He mumbled.
OUTSIDE, AT THE CAR...
The two girls were amazed by the riches of the Cullens. They now stared at their new friend's shiny silver Volvo.
"Wow...I've always wanted one of these." Lisa said while staring in awe at the car.
"Yeah, I know. What car do you drive?" Bella asked, trying to strike up conversation while getting into the car. Lisa looked embarrassed.
"Uh, an old, beat up Dodge Neon with crank down windows and an FM radio." Lisa mumbled, disappointed like. She turned back towards the car and looked at it once more before getting in. Edward tries to contain his laughter at the thought of the car. Bella tried to cheer up her friend.
"Hey, no problem. I own a 1953 Chevy Pickup Truck."
"That's cool..." T.T Lisa said gloomy. Edward broke into the conversation.
"Where exactly do you live?"
"Uhhh...12989 Birchdale Drive." The car stopped and the two turned to look at her.
"Wha? Did I say something wrong?" She turned towards her friend who just shrugged.
"Where is that, exactly?" Edward looked quiet confused.
"In Homer Glen..." Still no reaction from the two."In Illinois..." Now their expression changed. Instead of looking confused, they looked annoyed.
"Alright, quit kidding, or I'll leave you here at the side of the road."
"Wha!? I'm not kidding! I might not know directions well, but I KNOW for a fact that I live on 12989 Birchdale Drive in Homer Glen, in Illinois!"
"It's true, man." Alex spoke up. The two turned and looked at each other. After glancing back at them one more time, they decided that they must be telling the truth. Either that, or they were really bad actors. And as they did this, Alex grew impatient.
"What?! What's wrong with taking us out to Homer? Even if you live in Crest Hill, it should still be like, a thirty minute drive!" They turned back towards the two, and Edward decided to be the one to break the bad news.
"We're not in Homer Glen." He watched their expressions turn from angry to confused.
"Wha-"
"We're not even in Illinois."
"Alright, now you're the one who has to be kidding. I know we were IN Homer Glen when we left for our walk. I even know we were in Homer Glen when we entered that forest!" Alex stated, almost yelled it in the car.
"It true." Bella interrupted, "Look, does that street sign look familiar?" She pointed to a green sign on a lamp post above. It read E. DIVISION STREET.
"Th-that...doesn't sound...familiar." Lisa stared in disbelief at the sign. "Is it familiar to you?" She turned towards her friend.
"N-No..." For awhile everyone just sat very still in the car. They decided it would probably be best if they let the information sink into the other two's heads. Suddenly...
"WE'RE NOT IN ILLINOIS!" Lisa shouted in the car, still in shock. The others jumped as a result.
"Ya, no kidding, genius..." Alex said to her friend, trying to calm her down.
"B-But! We were just two hours ago!" She stared at Alex. "W-We were! I know we were! I knew every house we passed! I even knew the forest we ran into!" A thought occurred to Alex at that moment. "I mean, I-I didn't know exactly where we were going, I couldn't give direction on where we went, but-"
"Wait a minute!" She stopped her babbling friend, "You said you knew the forest we ran into." Lisa nodded, "But you were confused when we woke up again." Bella and Edward turned and looked at each other.
"You fell asleep in a forest?" Bella interrupted, confused.
""No, well yeah, but that was after we were chased by that stalker guy." Alex said slowly.
"I don't understand. Get to the point, Alex."
"What I mean, is this. We knew where we were until we met that stalker guy, right?" Lisa nodded, "Well, that guy must have done something to us after we fell and passed out."
Lisa interjected, thinking out loud. "He was creepy. And stalkerish."
"Yeah. Maybe We've been passed out for a couple days, and maybe that guy was planning to take us to some kinda creepy base of his and..." She trailed off, clearly making too much of a big deal out of this.
"And drop you off in the middle of the forest?" Edward guessed, raising one eyebrow.
"YEAH! Like Batman! Or something..." Her face grew red with embarrassment.
"Alex, You've never SEEN Batman."
"Well, I've heard stories!"
Bella sighed and turned to her boyfriend. "Well, what do we do now?"
"Hmmm...Don't know. We can't just leave them here."
" I could try to talk to Charlie in letting them stay at my place. Just for the one night."
"Yeah, I'll try to get them plane tickets back to Chicago." He turned his attention back to Lisa and Alex, who were still arguing about Batman. "Can you call your parents or something?"
Lisa remembered her cell phone. "Yeah!" And then she remembered that her cell phone was dead. "I mean...no." Her head hung down.
"Great, how 'bout you?" The question was directed to Alex.
"Don't look at me. I don't even own a cell phone. My parents don't exactly trust me." Alex rolled her eyes as she spoke. Bella sighed again. This was going to be difficult. So it was decided, Alex and Lisa would spend the night at their new friend Bella's house, and tomorrow, they would get on a plane heading home and hopefully be able to return to their normal lives.
So that's the first chapter! I hoped you liked it! The other members of the Cullens will be in the fic. as the story goes on. Review it, please!!
