The Forgotten Life

by bewitched-fan24

When I was five, mum asked me what I wanted to be when I grew up. My answer was a vampire. I had no idea that it would actually come true! The story of Alice's human life up until she met Jasper.

1. First Vision

I remember when I was very young, about 5, my parents sat me down to talk. They were pregnant. They talked about when the baby was due and how to care for them. This is usually the part where most children and teenagers got annoyed at their parents, but I was very excited. They asked me for some names for the baby. One that I really liked. For a boy I chose Peter. For a girl I chose Cynthia. I remember talking to my best friend, Joseph about it. Then the unthinkable happened.

One day, when I was 10, I was walking home from school and something happened. At first I didn't know what was happening, but I later learned that I could see the future. It was of my parents and my baby sister, Cynthia, who was now 4. They were at home in the playroom when the stove caught on fire! My mom must have forgotten that she had dinner on the stovetop.

When I had regained my vision, I ran home, thinking that what I had seen had happened when I was at school. I ran through the park, across the front lawn, through the front door and into the kitchen where the stove stood. But there was no smoke. It was then, as I was walking upstairs to my room, I realised that it would happen in the future.

Wide eyed, I ran back down the stairs and into the kitchen just in time to see the kitchen stove burst into flames.

"Mom!" I yelled at the top of my lungs. She must have smelled the smoke, too, because the next thing I heard was running footsteps as my mum came around the corner, Cynthia in her arms. I couldn't believe that what I saw had come true! I just stood there not able to say anything or move anywhere. Mom was on the phone to the fire brigade immediately and within minutes, I could hear the sirens of the fire trucks.

"Go into the basement," Mom ordered. "And take Cynthia." I immediately, took Cynthia out of mom's arms and carried her into the basement with me. We stayed there for a couple of hours until mom came. She said that it was safe to come out now, but wanted to tell me something, first.

"Thank you, Alice," she said. She smiled and gave me a huge hug. "I don't know what I would of done without you. Now go and play with your sister."

I never told her anything about the vision I had.
