~ Twilight ~

Prologue

~Alice~

"She is pale skinned, has brown hair about shoulder length, the prettiest brown eyes, and a heart shaped face that I am sure you'll love, Edward." I spoke with my pixie like voice, full of excitement, my eyes staring straight but really at nothing as I watched my vision.

"Calm down, Alice. I have no doubt that all you're saying is true," my brother Edward stated, pausing, taking his time to process all of the latest visions I was showing him. "I am simply wondering what she has to do with us. Is this the first time you're seeing her?"

I shook my head in response, the vision of the beautiful young girl fading. "No. I've been seeing her for about a month now, but I didn't want to say anything because I couldn't figure out why I was seeing her. But now I know," I said with a dazzling smile.

He looked at me expectantly and when I didn't continue, said, "Well, why?"

I giggled with glee. "I can't tell you," my voice sang with happiness. My ears picked up on the arrival of the rest of our family. I stood, raced over to the front door, pulled it open, and leaped into the arms of my husband, Jasper. "I missed you Jazzy!" I squealed, taking his face between my hands and kissing him passionately. God, I would never get enough of him.

"I missed you, too, my little pixie," he said, the love in his eyes reflecting that of mine.

"How was the hunt?" I asked, not caring who answered because I had already seen how it went. Jasper carried me into the house, not wanting to let his hold on me go just yet, and my eyes never left his.

"It went fine. No incidents." My mother Esme spoke, walking in behind us. The no incidents comment mostly referred to my husband being new to being a vegan vampire.

"It's nice to see you, too, Alice dear," my father added with a genuine, knowing smile as to why I hadn't greeted him or the rest of the family. He must have walked in behind mom.

Smiling in return, I unlocked my legs from around my love's waist, signaling for him to place me on my feet. Once his hands release me I flew into the arms of my parents. "I missed you both."

"Of that we're sure," my mother said, both of them wrapping me in their warm embrace and stroking my hair.

Next to walk in the door was my other brother, Emmett. "What about me, Ali?" he asked with a pout. Talk about melodramatic.

"Aw, Emmett don't cry." The joke was clear. We couldn't cry. Well, in the sense of no tears fell from our eyes. I was on my way to hug him when my sister, Rosalie, walked in the door. Before I knew it I was squealing with a grin before jumping into her awaiting arms. "Oh God Rose, I missed you the most."

Rose laughed, hugging me back. "You can't go a week without me."

I pulled back from our embrace and pouted. "Well of course! Who else is going to go shopping with me?" I asked before a smile broke over my lips.

"God Alice, if you weren't so into Jasper I could swear you were in love with me." She smiled and winked at me.

I giggled before skipping back over to my Jazzy. "Sorry Rose, as much as I love shopping with you, I can never give you my heart." I looked up into Jaspers eyes. "Because I've already given it away."

He gave a shit eating grin and kissed me. "Oh God! Enough take it upstairs already!" Emmett's voice interrupted. His comment always had away of making you laugh at a ruined mood. Taking Jasper's hand I led him to the couch where we sat beside Edward. "Oh hey bro!" Emmett called, setting down his bags. He was the only one who ever needed a change of clothes on a hunting trip. Him and his hatred for bears, I swear. He took his usual spot on the love seat, Rose joining him after she'd closed the door.

My parents were already on the other love seat, my mother cuddled into my father's side. I smiled. We all had such genuine love, only for our significant others, but for each other. We weren't family by blood but you'd never be able to tell by looking at us.

"Can you fill them in, Alice, so I can go hunting?" Edward said. He must have read my thoughts and was more than likely upset. He was the only one without a significant other and it wasn't for lack of trying. He growled, low rolling his eyes and in a flash he was gone. I heard his Volvo's engine as it started up and we all watched as it zoomed past the window and out of hearing range.

"Is he going to be alright?" my mother asked, worry written on her beautiful features.

"I am sure he will be alright, love," my father supplied. He nuzzled her cheek and Jasper sent waves of calming toward her. She was always worried about her first son. He was losing his flame, especially in the last fifty years or so.

I smiled reassuringly at her. "He will be just fine, Mama. Actually, that's part of what I need to tell you." She smiled, feeling there was good news coming. "I've been seeing a girl as of late, and I only have visions of her when Edward is around." I paused wetting my dry lips. "I'm not completely sure, but I think this might be the girl that's meant for Edward."

"It's 'bout time," Emmett whooped.

I smiled but it didn't reach my eyes. "What's wrong, Alice?" Jasper asked, feeling my uneasiness.

I looked around at everyone. Worry marred my face. "She's human..." I whispered, but knew they would hear.

Our faces all mirrored each others, the emotion clear to read: fear.

Review please!
