This is my first fan fiction; I've read a lot and decided to try one. Feel free to criticize to your hearts delight. I know I'm an amateur, and I'm here to improve. I have an issue with always writing short chapters, but I plan to keep this story for a long time. If anyone can give me some tips please do. This may accidentally include some details from another fanfic about this, so let me know if you have any complaints. Also: I don't own these characters, Disney and Stephanie Meyer do.

Prologue

Alex crept down Waverly Place. She had just spent the past three hours in the one place she had never been expected to go to: the library. Harper had recently introduced Alex to Twilight, a book about vampires. First she'd laughed.

"Harper, you know I don't read."

"What about that series about us, you know, the one by H.J. Darling?"

"That doesn't count it was about us."

"Just try it," Harper persisted.

"Fine." Alex snatched the book from Harper and stormed off to class. She stashed the book in her bag, and completely forgot about it up until now. Noticing the book, Alex forces herself to read the summary. Not bad, she thinks. She then hides in a lonely corner of the library to read. Now, Alex snuck into the sub-station, hoping her parents don't see her, let alone Justin.

Something was in the air at the Waverly Sub-station. It might have been the old community towel hanging near the bathrooms, or the globs of mayonnaise lying on the floor. But somehow, 16 year old Alex Russo knew it wasn't that. The substation still looked the same, -empty and quiet, with a mop standing next to the kitchen door. It was quite creepy, thought Alex, but leaving that though behind, she headed upstairs.

Walking up to the living room Alex barely even thought about that strange sensation she'd felt earlier. As she was about to plop on her usual spot on the couch, Alex heard a scream from the terrace. At that, Alex grabbed her wand and flashed herself over. There she saw Jerry and Teresa Russo crowded into a corner near the edge of the balcony. In front of them stood a tall man with a hoodie that covered his face who turned around as soon as he heard Alex.

"I see we have a visitor, hello Alex," the man said, his smile widening into a shiver-sending grin, "Just in time to see your parents die. Sadly, I have not yet had the pleasure to meet your brothers, or they too would be here. "

"Who…who are you?" Alex whispered, "And what are you doing to my parents?"

"The question is, what will I do to you?" he replied his grin almost an exact replica of the Grinch's.

"Alex, run! Use that spell I taught you yesterday!" shouted her dad, glancing briefly at the book still in Alex's trembling hands.

"But…" It was too late. Jerry lunged for the man, and was shot, straight in the chest. Blood poured out of the fresh wound. Teresa glanced tenderly at her daughter and said,

"I love you mija," then she too was shot. Alex stared at the bodies, shock settling in. Sobs build up in her chest but she pushes them down. She readies herself then focuses on getting out of there.

The man merely took their bodies and threw them over the terrace. Turning towards Alex, the man's grin was wiped off his face when heard Alex shouting,

"Literarium Tararium!" then disappearing into the very book she was holding, but not before the man fires a well-placed shot into Alex's chest. The man regains his grin and whispers out to the wind,

"You can run Alex Russo, but you can't hide. I will catch you. You and your brothers too!"
