What is the definition of weird? I should probably know, I've been around it enough and am probably one of its most loyal examples but oddly enough I never bothered to look it up in the dictionary. Today though was a prime example of weird, the bizarre nature of it almost overwhelming, even with my upstanding loyalty to the uncanny the occurrences were beginning to get to me. Alice merely called it strange, I called it freaky.

Right now was freaky as I randomly looked down and saw a white envelope with my name on the front, written in flowing script.

"See!" I exclaimed to Alice. "I'm telling you Alice something weird is going on."

"Right Bella," Alice sniggered, "because the cosmos has decided to pick on you today." She picked up the envelope and peered into it, her eyebrows rising in surprise.

"Come on Alice, my car breaking down but nothing's wrong with it, the sudden tennis ball sized hail, several random signs with my name on them throughout the city-Whoa."

Whoa was an understatement. Alice had tilted the envelope and out had tumbled a pile of jewel and diamonds.

"Isn't this a little extravagant even for Seattle?" I asked. That's where we were, in the middle of Seattle in the biggest mall I had ever seen shopping once again for the wedding. "And why does it have my name on it?!"

Alice shook her head in surprise. "I'm not sure." Her brow furrowed and she frowned.

"What's wrong?" I asked concerned.

"I didn't see any of this, either someone had made a random decision or I'm losing my touch."

"Don't worry," I told her patting her on the shoulder. "Look I'll go give this to security, you start on another store." Kill the preliminaries without me, it'll be less painful.

"You sure?" She asked. "You know I promised Edward I wouldn't let you out of my sight."

"I'm a big girl Alice I can walk up an escalator and back down. Besides I'm never really out of your sight."

"Ha ha Bella very funny, I thought today was pick on Bella day."

"Give me the jewels Alice." I demanded.

She handed over the envelope but not before giving a stern look. "If you're not back in five minutes I am hunting you down."

"Alright Alice I get it, now go."

Alice turned and ran off into the nearest shoe store. I pitied the workers who would feel her shopping wrath.

Turning around I headed towards the six escalators that ran along all three floors. It was a weekend and I ended up getting squished between a stroller and a group of kids a little younger than me. I was afraid someone would somehow know what I was carrying and take the jewels so clutched them to my chest protectively. Finally when I made it to the third floor I searched around for a moment before finding a security guard. They were placed all throughout the mall, everywhere you turned there was usually one with their dull grey uniforms and batons hanging off their belt.

"Excuse me," I said walking up to him.

He looked at me curiously. "Yes ma'am?"

I held up the envelope. "I found this on the ground, I don't know who it's for but I think they'll want to find it."

The guard carefully took it from me and peeked inside. His eyes grew wide. "T-thank you," he sputtered out. "I'm sure somebody will come looking for this."

"No problem," I said. Turning around I walked away before he even looked up again.

I found to my dismay that the escalators had somehow become even more crowded, even the area around was spewing with people. Besides each escalator though was a set of stairs that weren't ready to break under people.

Praying that I was still within Alice's time limit I tried to shuffle between the horde of people and the metal and glass railing that prevented them from falling down four stories. I almost reached the stairs when a group of teenage boys started to roughhouse. One of boys shoved the other and he flew right into me, pushing me into the railing. I felt the metal behind me bend and with a grating noise it cracked from its foundations, the glass shattering into a thousand pieces as I fell.

I heard people scream around me but could only watch in horror as the ground began to rise towards me. I knew Alice wouldn't be able to save me, she couldn't have seen what was going to happen because it was an accident, not thought out. So I watched as the ground began to inch closer and I knew that I was going to die, that I would never see Edward again, that my death would be the cause of his, that the rest of his family would be miserable without him, and that I would never be able to live out my life like I so had wanted to.

And then I stopped falling.

Slowly looking up I was amazed to see a girl my age cling onto the edge of the floor with one hand while holding onto the scruff of my shirt with the other. Blood dripped from her hand as broken glass and metal dug into her skin. Her short blonde hair hemmed her face, and her green eyes blazed with determination as they stared in my own.
