Authors Note - My first ever fan-fiction, so please be somewhat kind, although do feel free to constructively criticise. Most of this story is from Alice's point of view, although some of it won't be, but I'll make that clear when it's written.

This first bit is only short because a) it's the preface and b) I should be revising for my exams instead of writing this.

Enjoy!

Preface

One moment I was stood, alone, in the dark forest, my senses heightened, a deep thirst consuming most of my coherent thought.

And then, miraculously, almost impossibly, I was sat in a café, in a small town called Snowflake in Arizona, just outside the city of Phoenix.

I was astounded as to how I knew this information, but a sudden feeling of anticipation shivered down my spine and I pushed that thought to the very back of my mind.

I was waiting for someone, someone I expected to appear, at exactly seventeen minutes past three in the afternoon.

The door breezed open and there he stood.

The tall, elegant vampire, his honey toned skin shimmering oddly under the fluorescent lights, just as mine did.

My topaz eyes locking in with his scarlet ones. He smiled awkwardly at me, realising what I was.

Instantly I jumped blithely off the stool I had sat on, for countless days, maybe months and beamed at him.

I carefully extended my arm, and then my hand in his direction,

"You've kept me waiting a long time." I teased, taking his cold, stone hand in mine and pulling him out the door.

As quickly as the vision had appeared, it was gone. But instantly I knew, this young vampire, who ever he was, was now my future, and my soul mate, and nothing would stop me finding him.

But first I needed to hunt.
