Alice the Fortune Teller
So this is my first fanfic. I am really happy with this first chapter and I hope that you enjoy it. Reviews are kindly appreciated.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own Twilight *sigh* :'(
"So the next step is…" said Mr Banner, I groaned under my breath, too quiet for any of the humans to be able to hear. You would think that after going to high school more than 20 times in forty five different countries around the world I would be used to an average biology lesson.
But no! In fact it got more monotonous ever. Jasper, who was sitting next to me, felt my extreme boredom and annoyance squeezed my hand under the table. 'Just only 14 mins left', he said quietly 'And then we can do whatever you want'.
Sure enough, the seconds trickled slowly by and then the bell rang loudly; our cue to leave. I skipped down the hall with Jasper by my side towards my beautiful yellow Porsche that Edward got for me as a bribe to keep Bella whenever he went hunting. I wasn't supposed to drive it, but I simply couldn't resist.
A crowd of teenage schoolboys were crowded around my car, with obvious lust in their eyes. Manoeuvring around them I got in the car with Jasper and successfully drove out of the car park without running over anyone and sped down the highway to our house hidden in the forest.
Edward and Bella were probably there as they skipped school after third period as their biology class were blood typing again, and after that disastrous incident that happened last year, they decided that it was best to bunk off school.
I was right-as we approached the driveway, I could hear Bella, Edward and Emmett all in the living room watching some show on the new television that Esme got after Edward broke the previous one when he got into a temper. Emmett got really mad at him as he couldn't watch the rest of the FIFA world cup live as the new TV took two weeks to arrive from Japan.
Rosalie was under Emmett's jeep trying to fix the engine, humming to herself. And as for Esme and Carlisle, they were off together for a week at New York as Carlisle had a medical conference and Esme got some contracts for her designs.
This left us Cullen kids and Bella alone for a whole week until Sunday. 'Hey guys!' I sang walking into the living room. 'Hi Alice', they replied, their eyes glued to the television, not looking or moving from where they were sitting. 'Well!' I huffed "That's not a very nice way to greet your sister" they didn't respond.
This was starting to freak me out a bit. I mean, I had never seen Emmett so quiet before. They were all mesmerised with whatever they were watching on the TV. And frankly, it irritated me.
When the ad break came on they seemed to break out of their trance and began to murmur excitedly to each other. All I could catch that they were talking about some Madame Cassandra. 'What were you watching?' I asked. Jasper looked at them with curiosity as well. Like me, he had found their behaviour extremely odd too.
Emmett who began excitedly said 'It's this amazing show called The One. It's about this woman called Madame Cassandra who tells the future of people using her crystal ball lined with gold, tea leaves; you name it! And she's NEVER wrong!' 'Remember the part when she knew that guy's cat was going to die on Monday just from touching his ring?' added Bella excitedly. 'I know! It's so cool!' Edward said.
Jasper and I were stunned in disbelief. I couldn't believe they were so impressed by some phoney woman who claimed to know the future. Didn't they know that it was a con? 'You know guys; this Madame probably pays the people on the show to know their details like some creepy stalker. It's not true you know'. 'It is', said Emmett earnestly. Then he said the comment that pushed me off the edge. 'She is like amaaaaazing! She's even better than you, Alice!' he crowed 'She is the one!'
His second comment pushed me off the edge. Now don't get me wrong. I am not that person who gets angry very easily. That's Edwards's job. But saying that phoney woman Cassandra is better than me? That's across the line.
I'll show him. I will show all of them. Dragging Jasper along with me I stomped up the stairs and slammed the door of our room behind us, leaving Emmett, Bella & Edward to watch their stupid show. A brilliant plan began to form in my head. I would become a fortune teller myself. A true one. I would even get a silly crystal ball as a prop. One lined with gold AND studded with rubies and diamonds.
An evil smile crept upon my face as I began to tell Jasper phase 1 of my plan.
Introducing Madame Alice Cullen!
