Chapter 01

I was never a normal girl. Maybe even without my ability I would still be considered different, since I'm always energetic.

Even my most distant memories showed me that I could feel things and dream about things that hadn't happened yet. When I was a kid I told one of the maids that something bad was going to happen to her.

"Believe me, Augusta!" I told her. I was four at the time. "I'm feeling that something really bad is going to happen today! Please, go rest."

"Don't be absurd lady Alice." She replied and went to clean the kitchen.

One of the maids had just washed the floor and Augusta fell with her face on the stove. Luckily the fire had been put out a few minutes before, but she burned her face badly anyway.

"You jinxed me, you little devil pixie!" She stated and asked to be transferred to the main house; she didn't want to be in the same house as me.

"You told them again, right?" Edward asked me, he knew about me and didn't mind; in fact he liked to know things.

"But I felt something bad was going to happen to her…" I told him.

"I know Alice, but these people are not ready for your abilities." Edward reasoned. He was just two years older than me, but he was already so mature. I trusted his advice better than most of the advice coming from adults.

That night I wished to dream about something happy in Edward's future. I went to sleep with that on my mind. I saw a beautiful brunette woman blushing.

"Hi, Alice!" She greeted me sweetly. I was a lot older and there were other people there. I was carrying a box and left it on the porch. I knew that porch was the one from Uncle Carlisle's house.

"Hi!" I called happily. At the time I couldn't hear the name I was calling, but I saw a grown up version of Edward, his arms around her waist. He looked so happy. I could feel the love between them, but I also felt a lot of bad things trying to prevent that dream from coming true.

When I woke up I hurried to tell Edward.

"Edward!" I knocked on his bedroom door. "Wake up, Edward!"

"What is it?" He asked a little angry. I decided not to tell him.

"Act like that, spoiled brother!" I told him sarcastically.

"You saw something in your dream, didn't you?" He asked curiously.

"Not telling you anymore." I told him.

That was the first night I saw a ray of hope I didn't even know that we would need. The years passed and I was six when I woke up feeling something big and terrible was going to happen. I had no friends besides Edward, so I didn't mind when momma said that we couldn't go outside the house, but Edward loved to spend the day outside. He ignored my warnings and left. I spent the day crying and when Carlisle and Esme came to get me, I already had cried all I had to cry.

"Dear, we have to talk with you." Carlisle began sweetly.

"They're dead, aren't they?" I asked pain evident in my voice.

"Oh dear!" Esme cried.

"Don't cry, Aunt Esme." I told her. "They wouldn't like to see us sad."

Of course both Uncle Carlisle and Aunt Esme were surprised. I didn't trust them yet. They had no idea of how different I was.

"Is Edward with you?" I asked them.

"He's at our house, dear." Carlisle told me.

"Then let's go there. I don't know what happened, but my brother needs me!" I told them and they nodded.

Carlisle and Esme lived in the house right next to ours, so we just had to walk a little. When we got to their house I ran to the library. Wherever we were, Edward would feel more at ease inside a library. I was correct, Edward was there. He was sitting on the floor, his arms hugging his legs and his eyes pointed to the bookshelf right in front of him. I knew he wasn't looking at the bookshelf. He was not even looking at something. He was lost inside his head.

I walked to him and sat by his side. I stayed there with him, in silence, for a long time.

"I already know, right?" Edward asked. I could feel he was feeling a mix of sadness and fury.

"Mom and dad are gone." I replied.

He just nodded.

"I'm sorry." He whispered and I hugged him.

"It's all going to be alright." I told him.

"I don't believe you." He replied and sighed.

"It will take time, but you'll learn to trust what I say again." I stated.

"Alice…" He called me hesitantly.

"Yes?" I asked.

"Alice, would you hate me if I told you that I killed our parents?" He asked me.

"You didn't kill them, Edward." I replied.

"I asked IF! Answer me!" He shouted and I winced a little. That was the first time he raised his voice when talking to me.

"No, I wouldn't hate you, Edward." I answered honestly.

"Why?" He asked as I tear ran down his face.

"Because you are my brother and you believed me when no one else did." I told him and he hugged me.

"Thanks, Alice." He cried.

Carlisle and Esme adopted us. They showered us with love and care, but Edward still closed himself off to the world. The only friend who stayed by his side was Jasper Whitlock. Edward used to talk about him a lot. I envied him. The day I met him, however, I completely changed my mind.

I was ten and I had a dream the night before. A boy would save me from falling in the back yard and staining my beautiful pink dress with mud. I ran to tell Edward. I didn't notice there were still two steps to go and almost fell, but I didn't even fear because I knew a pair of arms would rescue me.

"Are you alright, Alice?" Edward asked.

"Yes, I am now." I replied smiling widely.

"So that's your sister?" My savior asked him.

"Alice, the one holding you is Jasper Whitlock. I've told you about him before." Edward said and smiled as my wide smile disappeared. "Can you put her down, Jasper?"

"Sure." Jasper replied and then introduced himself. "Hello miss Alice Masen. I'm Jasper Whitlock. It's a pleasure to meet you." He stated politely and kissed my hand while blushing.

Forget the part of you that hates him, Alice! You love him! I shouted to myself, admiring his slight blush.

"It's a pleasure to meet you too, Jasper." I chirped.

"Do you want to play with us?" Jasper invited.

Edward looked surprised, but confirmed the invitation. "Come play with us, Alice, you'll be the kidnapped Princess of the Pixies."

"And what will you two be?" I asked them.

"I'm going to be the pirate who kidnapped the princess!" Edward said full of pride.

"I'm going to be the knight in a shining armor that will try to rescue the princess." Jasper said smiling timidly.

"I like it!" I told the two of them. "Let's play!"

The two of them were the only people who actually played with me. It was fun and all but I also wanted a girl to be my friend. The girls never talked to me. I was 'Alice freak Masen' and was always with 'Edward gorgeous and snobby Masen' and 'Jasper gentleman Whitlock'. I knew the girls of the Court envied me. Edward was getting more and more handsome by the day. His distant air made the girls even more interested, but I knew none of them was the brunette that was meant to be my best friend and his love and life. Jasper was always the most handsome guy I had ever seen and his gentlemanly manners were a plus for the other ladies. He never dated any girl and that made me feel happy.

One day I went to the Mallory house with Esme to an afternoon tea. Esme also thought I needed a girlfriend and Mrs. Mallory had a daughter that was the same age as I was. Her name was Lauren. I was twelve at the time.

"Hello dear!" Mrs. Mallory greeted me.

"Hello Mrs. Mallory!" I replied smiling politely.

"Oh, look how polite your niece is, Esme!" Mrs. Mallory stated. I could see Esme felt uncomfortable.

"I'm not Esme's niece!" I told Mrs. Mallory seriously. "Esme is my second mom! So I'm her daughter!"

"My, my…" Mrs. Mallory said and descended her ugly face to whisper. "Don't you have a big mouth for someone so small?"

I knew Esme didn't hear her, so I ignored her comment.

She's just envious! I'm young and pretty and she is old and ugly! I thought and felt better.

"Lauren, come meet Alice Masen, dear!" Mrs. Mallory called her daughter.

Lauren came with a friend, one of the girls I knew that talked bad about me. Jessica Stanley was her name.

Before Lauren or Jessica said a word, Mrs. Mallory sent us to play in the back yard. I saw Esme's face getting ready for a boring and long afternoon. My mom was really kind. She was doing that for me. I had to at least have fun and make her tedious afternoon worthy.

As we got to the back yard I asked them excitedly. "So what are we going to play?"

"Play? What are you eight?" Lauren asked, her nasally voice making me have a bad feeling something was going to go really wrong.

"No, I'm twelve." I replied still feeling uneasy.

"You're twelve and you still like to play?" Jessica laughed loudly.

"It's not lady-like to laugh loudly, especially at someone else." I told her seriously which made her face turn red. I still don't know if it was out of embarrassment or rage. "I like to play! My brother and Jasper are fourteen and still like to play with me!"

"They feel sorry for you!" Lauren stated, seeming sure about what she was saying as she began her verbal attack. "Who wouldn't? I mean, you are a freaky girl that every now and then stops talking or doing whatever you are doing for no reason. You don't even try to explain why, not matter who asks you. The rest of the time you act like you ate an entire jar of sugar alone. You keep singing instead of talking and dancing instead of walking. If I was from your family I would feel sorry for you too."

"Edward and Jasper are just too kind." Jessica said and glared at me.

I felt like crying, but kept repeating to myself that what they were saying wasn't true and that what they wanted was to make me cry. They would win if I cried.

"They really are." I replied, deciding to show them that I didn't care about whatever they decided to say. "I'm lucky to have them whatever the reason."

They glared at me and I smiled widely.

They decided to go away and I couldn't care less. Right after they left I felt goose bumps, strong ones. That meant something really bad was going to happen to me.

I looked around and the last thing I saw was a wood stick meeting my head. I fainted. I woke up in a dark room filled with clothes.

I must be inside of a closet. I thought. Probably the one I passed, right behind the stairs. They wouldn't be able to carry me anywhere else without Esme noticing.

I felt the pain in my head and ran my hands to my head, noticing that my beautiful and long black hair must've been cut by them. From what I could feel, my waist length hair had become a spiky short hair, something not really good for a respectable lady.

My blood boiled with anger and the tears ran down my face. I wanted revenge. The rage seemed to work with my ability and I could almost see what the two of them were going to do the entire week. My head ached a lot, but I wouldn't stop until I knew what to do for revenge.

As I saw what I needed and made my plan I tried to force myself to stop, but it didn't work. I began to feel a lot of pain and feeling bad things that would happen to people I didn't even know.

Stop it, please! I begged. I don't want to see anymore right now!

My hatred had set my ability out of my control and I would go crazy if I didn't stop it soon. I tried to think about Edward, about Jasper and I could only feel things getting worse and worse.

The mahogany hair girl! I shouted to myself as a last desperate try. She'll be my friend no matter what!

The thought of having a true friendship in the future seemed to set things back to track. I felt myself getting calmer and calmer as the bad feelings started to go away.

I'm hungry. I thought after I was completely calm. I hope it doesn't take long before they decide to release me.

"Alice?" I heard Jasper's voice calling me desperately.

"I told you that she wasn't here…" Lauren said in her irritating (but trying to be sexy) voice.

"Jasper!" I called him.

"Alice?" He called again, this time closer.

"I'm inside some sort of closet!" I shouted.

"Open it." Jasper said furiously, something I never heard or saw before. Jasper was always the one calming people down.

"Why should I?" Lauren asked stuttering. "It's my house and I don't need to do anything I don't want to do!"

"You want to bet?" Jasper asked, his voice threatening her. "I don't think Edward would hurt a girl, but I don't care if you're a woman or a child."

I shivered. I could feel that he was saying it as he smiled coldly.

The door opened almost immediately and I jumped to Jasper's arms.

"Hi!" I greeted him, not really looking at him as my head was buried in his chest.

"Hi." He said sweetly and I heard a background hiss.

He gently pulled me away from his chest and looked at me.

"Your hair…" He said in a confused tone.

"You like it?" I asked smirking.

"Now I'm sure that you are a pixie princess." He stated and laughed.

I thought I could fool Jasper by acting as hyper as always, but Jasper was the most sensitive person and always knew how someone was actually feeling.

"Did those two do this?" He asked as he stopped laughing and I felt his whole body tensing.

"It doesn't matter. Where is Edward?" I asked, trying to change the subject.

"He is probably trying to find you in the back yard, since Jessica took him there." He said with disgust in his voice. "This one wanted me to go search on the street with her."

"What about Esme? Where is she?" I asked worried.

"The girls told her that you went home, so she went back." Jasper told me, blushing a little. "When she got home, Edward and I were coming to get you."

"You missed me?" I chirped as I asked him.

"Of course." He replied embarrassedly. "Now, let's go get Edward and leave."

"Go ahead and leave with the freak!" Lauren said venomously. "Do it fast! I don't want any freaks in this house!"

"That's it!" I heard Jasper say before he slapped her face.

"Mom!" Lauren ran to her mother, crying.

"Calm down, Jasper!" I heard Edward's voice saying as he ran to us.

"She cut Alice's hair without her permission, locked her in a closet, and you fucking want me to stay calm?" He shouted and Mrs. Mallory was quickly in front of the three of us, seeming furious.

I actually couldn't care less about how pissed she was. I was too shocked with Jasper. He never said such bad words in front of me before, he must've been really furious. I couldn't help the happy feelings from spreading through me, but I could stop the smile.

"You slapped my daughter?" Mrs. Mallory shouted the question.

"Yes." Jasper replied, not the slightest regret being showed on his eyes.

"Your parents will know about this, young boy!" She kept shouting.

"They'll be proud of me." He told her and smiled. "Please, do tell them."

"You think you can do this to the Mallory family?" She asked. I was impressed that she could keep that high tone for a longer time than I could.

"I think the Whitlock's, the Cullen's and especially the Masen's have way more tradition than the Mallory's, Mrs. Mallory." Jasper said in a low threatening tone. "If you really love the respect some people have for your family, don't let your daughter come near Alice ever again!"

Jasper was fourteen and Mrs. Mallory was probably over her forties, but it didn't seem like it. Jasper completely won and we left. Mrs. Mallory stayed there, lacking words and wide eyed.

As we got out of the house, we heard her angry shout, so not lady-like.

The three of us laughed.

"What took you so long, Edward?" Jasper asked as we were riding in the carriage.

"I had to breathe before heading to find you." He said and started laughing.

"What happened and why Jessica wasn't with you when you got to where we were?" Jasper asked.

"Well, let's say she was swimming a little." Edward said between laughs.

"Care to explain?" I asked, I wanted to laugh too. I needed to laugh.

"I knew she wasn't telling the truth and thought that if Jasper was alone with Mallory he would be able to find out where you were." He said seriously. "So I went to search for you in the back yard with Stanley."

"Go on." I told him.

"I saw that she was trying to flirt with me." Edward said and shivered in disgust, his grimace showed me how he disliked that girl. "Well, I knew that they had done something with you and you know how I don't hurt girls."

"I know." I said and smiled, my brother was a gentleman.

"Let's just say there was a muddy part in the back yard and that she accidentally fell there." He said and laughed. "She fell on her face!"

Jasper and I joined him laughing.

I had seen it happen and planned on making it come true, but I didn't know I wouldn't have to actually do a thing. All thanks to my brother and my Jasper.

I knew I loved him and I knew he loved me, but we didn't talk about it again until he had to travel to Portugal, years later.

"Alice, where's Edward?" Jasper asked entering the living room.

"He went out to see Tanya." I said and sighed. Tanya wasn't the girl for him. His girl was the mahogany haired girl I saw.

"And Esme?" He asked nervously.

"She went out to have tea with a friend." I told him and raised an eyebrow.

"Can we talk?" He asked unsure.

"Yes, we can." I told him seriously and patted the seat right next to mine.

He sat and began. "I'm going to leave on a mission." He said seeming both sad and excited. "I'm to go to Portugal. There's something I wanted to do before going."

"What?" I asked, wishing he would kiss me.

"I have to tell you that I love you!" He said blushing.

I kissed him.

"I knew it." I replied. "And I loved you since I met you in one of my dreams."

He smiled widely.

I knew perfectly well that he was the one for me and I was the one for him.

I must admit I'm still pretty down… That's the main reason the 2nd chapter will probably take a while to be released… That chapter of the APOV is a complicated one for me… It's not sad, on the contrary, but it's filled with philosophical challenges that just make me feel uneasy… Oh, but don't worry… The philosophy in it is a personal one.

Anyways…

Liked? Hated? Curious? Please do tell me!^^
