Prologue-
Mary Alice Brandon sped through the woods, a mere streak, a blur that left debris flying in her wake and had the woodland animals scurrying to find solace from the unknown. She slowed as she reached a spot where she was certain her eldest and dearest brother couldn't 'hear' her. She muttered spitefully at his stupid and masochistic ways as she paced the wooded area angrily like a tiger in a cage. She wished desperately that her lover were here to calm her down; Jasper would surely know what to do. But bringing him into this would compromise her entire 'operation', as she prefers to call it.
She gave a large huff and settled down near a tree, getting comfortable as she prepared herself for a vision. Alice had been plotting this getaway ever since the get-go. But it had a few holes in it; she would have to hurry up because she knew Jasper would be coming any time now, he would be hurting if he knew she was hiding anything from him. She knew for a fact that plotting in secrecy from Jasper had taken a toll on their relationship, but it would be worth the fruit of her achievement. At least, that's what she told herself.
Another hole in her scheming would be the actual reason for her ploy; Edward. She had done well in hiding her mind from him, but there were cracks. Edward was suspicious, and he too would be following her scent. She had to make this quick.
Alice closed her eyes and focused all her energy on her. To make sure she was all right. Alice loved–still loves–her as a sister. She just wanted to make sure her sister was fairing well. She sure as hell knew her brother was not. She calmed her breathing and cleared her mind, and waited. She waited and waited and waited, and continuously drew up blank. Panic rose up and coiled in her tummy. Her breathing accelerated, her chest rose and fell rapidly with each breath.
Her eyes searched the little clearing in which she sat, as if she could see her there, while her mind continued to draw up blank. Alice tried Carlisle's future and saw him at work, bent over a desk in his white lab coat. She opted for Esme next and saw her mother figure sweeping and dusting their already immaculate house. Oh God, oh no. She shifted through all her family member's futures and saw exactly what she expected to see. But when she tried her future, she couldn't find anything. A feeling of dread crawled up her spine, and for the first time in her vampiric existence, she felt cold.
Not wanting to waste a single second, Alice got up and ran like a bat out of hell to inform her brother. Her cell was already out of her pocket and she dialed as fast as the piece of junk would allow, "Hello? I need two tickets for the fastest flight to Port Angeles, Washington, please."
A/N: So how was it? I'm anxious to hear your thoughts on it.
