I looked around the room and saw my most favourite person. He was standing in the corner of our room, in the doorway leaning against the doorframe. He smiled at me and I went to him and kissed him on the cheek. His golden eyes looked around the room and rested on the bed in the middle of the room.

"Alice..." he started to say, but I put a finger on his perfect lips and smiled at him. I kissed him again but this time on the lips. But he wasn't satisfied. I could see it in his eyes. Jasper was easy to read. For me, anyway.

"Do you remember what I saw last night," I asked him. "In my vision? I saw you and me on the bed, because that is what I have decided." I flashed him a big, wide grin and suddenly he was laughing.

"All right, all right," he told me, grinning. Suddenly, he was on the bed. He grabbed me around my waist and he pulled me down to kiss me. Someone cleared their throat and Jasper and I looked towards the door.

"Sorry to interrupt you two lovebirds," Emmett said, grinning. "But Esme needs to talk to you, Alice." He grinned again and dashed away downstairs, scared that Jasper will play with his emotions, I suspected.

I followed Emmett downstairs, Jasper in my shadows. I got to the bottom of the stairs and tried to walk past Edward, who was sprawled across the bottom stair reading a book.

He looked up at me and moved his legs to let me past. I thanked him and continued my journey to find Esme, my adopted mother. I looked around the living room and found Emmett on the couch, watching baseball. Who was winning the game? I thought. It looks like a great game. Edward appeared behind me and answered my thought.

"Washington Nationals. And I believe that it is the best game that Emmett has watched." I laughed.

"Thanks, Edward," I said. He smiled at me and disappeared back to his spot at the bottom of the stairs.

I made my way into the kitchen, while Jasper dropped off to watch the baseball game on our widescreen television. In the kitchen, my sister Rosalie was talking to Carlisle about something. Carlisle is my adoptive father. He has pale blonde hair combed straight back. I heard that the nurses at work can't work with him around! They apparently get distracted. He looked up as I came in and nodded at me. I returned his nod and Rosalie turned around and smiled (that was rare!) at me.

"I don't know if Emmett told you," she started. "But Esme needs to see you."

"Yeah. He did. Do you know where she is?"

"She is outside hunting, I think," Carlisle answered me.

Now might be a great time to tell you about me and my family. See, 3 of us Cullen's have 'special abilities.' Edward can read minds, Jasper can manipulate emotions and I can see the future. There are 7 Cullen's all together, two of which are Hale's (Jasper and Rosalie) and all of us are one big, happy family... well almost happy. Our family keeps one huge secret. We are vampires. But we don't drink human blood. We hunt animals instead.

"Thanks, Carlisle." I went outside and sprinted as fast as I could towards Esme, following her scent. I was heading towards the field where we play baseball on terrible, but not raining, days. I jumped lightly over the river and continued my run. We vampires run 20 times faster than the fastest human in the world and are super-strong. In our family, Emmett is the strongest and Edward is the fastest. I got to the baseball field and stopped in my tracks. I glared at the faint outline of the gigantic wolf. He was glaring back at me.

"What do you want?" I asked him sternly. The wolf walked into the bush beside him and came back out in his human form. It was Sam Uley.

"What do you want?" I repeated, more sternly.

"I came to talk to Bella," he answered. "For Jacob... and to warn you."

"Warn me?" I asked, confused. What could he possibly warn us about? Vampire attack? Been there twice. Usually I could see these types of things happening in my vision, but I can't see werewolves in them. They black it out entirely.

"To warn all of you about our neighbouring pack," he answered. "They know that we respect vampires. They are coming here."

"Ok, thanks," I told him with a look on my face I hoped that read 'get lost now or die'. I sniffed the air, hoping for a scent of Esme, but instantly wished I didn't. All I could smell was werewolf. He walked back into the bush and didn't return. I turned around and fled back to the house to warn the others.

"Carlisle," I yelled as soon as I walked into the house. Carlisle was suddenly at my side followed by the rest of my family.

"What is the matter, Alice?" Carlisle asked me as soon as the family had settled into the couches and chairs.

"As I was out in the baseball clearing looking for Esme, I saw Sam Uley, the leader of the werewolves," I told my family. "And he told me that their neighbouring pack knows about our relationship with them and they are coming." Just then, the doorbell rang. Edward got up and answered the door. I could hear someone walk in and hug Edward. Bella walked into the living room and said hi to everyone. The response was a very happy one apart from Rosalie who didn't respond at all. Edward than explained to her why we where all in the living room. She than sat down between Jasper and Edward and settled down to listen in on the meeting.

"Anyway," I told the group. "What can we do? Any suggestions?"

"We could run away," suggested Emmett, with a smirk on his face. "And never come back." He was obviously joking. That is so Emmett!

"Ok, then," I said slowly. "Any serious suggestions?" Everyone looked around and finally, as I was hoping for, Edward spoke.

"We could fight," he suggested. "It seems like it is the only thing to do. Unless someone else has a better suggestion." No one suggested anything else.

"So I guess that means we are going with Edward's idea," Rosalie said. She looked at Carlisle hopefully and Carlisle rose to his feet. Suddenly, the room that I was in changed. A vision. In my vision, the doorbell rang. Tanya from the Denali coven was at the door and she came with bad news. The vision ended and the scene I saw warped quickly back to the living room.

"Alice," Jasper asked me. "What did you see?" Every head in the room turned towards me. It seemed that Jasper was the only one who noticed that I had a vision, but I was pretty sure Edward knew, too.

"I'll get it," I told the group and they all stared at me confused (except Edward, of course). As I left the room, I heard Edward tell my family and Bella to be prepared for the worse. I was already prepared. Just as I got to the door, the doorbell rang and I answered it knowing who was behind the wooden door.

"Come in, Tanya," I told her. She looked around the room as if this was her first visit here. But she than, very fluently, walked through the entrance hall into the living room to address my family and Bella. I followed her footsteps but stayed in the doorway of the living room, knowing what she was going to say. I took in a deep breath, even though vampires don't need to breathe, and let the information crush me.

"The Volturi are coming," she started, without a need for an introduction. Everyone in the room knew her. "They believe that Bella shouldn't know about the existence of vampires. They say that it isn't healthy for not only Bella but Edward as well. Also they want to discuss the matter of werewolves with you." She stopped and looked at the faces that were in front of her. The expressions ranged between shock and disapproval. Edward stood up and turned to face me.

"Alice has some news to tell you, too, Tanya," he told her. He beckoned me to come forward with his hand and I shot forward and stopped next to him. I turned to face Tanya and explained again what Sam had told me. When I had finished, she stared at me and gaped.

"Well two problems in one day," she smiled and walked towards the door with me right behind her. She put her hand on the doorknob and turned around again.

"Carlisle, if you ever need anything, call me or Kate," she told my adoptive father. She smiled once more at the family and skipped gracefully out the door.

"We need some help," Emmett said, trying to be serious, but failing. He started to laugh at what he just said but shut up immediately when Rosalie gave him one of her dirty looks.

"I remember meeting some vampires back in 1845," Carlisle piped up. "Maybe they can help. There a family of vampires and they are vegetarians, too."

"Who are they?" Edward asked, probably already knowing the answer.

"The fathers name is Fredrick, the mothers name is Freda and they have 3 children, Gregory, Anna and Rudolph. Gregory is 15, Anna is 10 and Rudolph is 9." I was surprised at how old Rudolph was. I felt sorry for him immediately. "But there is one problem," he continued. "They live in Scotland. They are not our type of vampires," He warned us, mostly Bella. "These vampires can fly and cannot go out in the sun. They will burn if they do. They also have fangs, so be careful, Bella." I knew it!

"I thought there was only one type of vampire," Bella put in.

"There isn't ever just one breed of anything," I told her from the doorway. She turned to face me, not realising that I was there. "Vampire breeds are like dog breeds. You've got your Great Dane right down to your Chihuahua." I turned to Carlisle. "How are you going to contact them?" He pulled out his address book and started flipping the pages faster than the blink of an eye. As he was flipping, he said: "I was given a number that may help, but the problem is that I was given it in 1880. It may not work anymore." By this time, he had stopped flipping; he was looking at the S section. "Sackville-Bagg. Sackville-Bagg," he kept muttering to himself. I assumed that Sackville-Bagg was their last name. He pulled out his silver cell phone and dialled the number written in the address book. I could here the phone dial so it must still be working. I heard a voice on the other line.

"Hello?" the mans voice said.

"Hi, Fredrick," he said into the receiver. "It's Carlisle."

"Hi, Carlisle. How have you been?"

"Fine thanks, Fredrick," he answered. "Listen, we need your help. Can you come over as soon as possible?"

"Sure," he answered. "Were do you live?"

"Just outside of Forks, Washington," he answered. "It is in the forests of Forks. I am sure you will find it if you fly..." He walked out of the room to continue his conversation elsewhere. Emmett and Jasper walked out of the room to watch the rest of the baseball that was paused on the screen. Jasper followed him and Esme resumed the cooking for Bella. It was just Rosalie, Bella, Edward and I left in the living room. Upstairs, I could hear Carlisle finishing his conversation on the phone and I could hear the noise of the television next door. Bella and Edward were chatting away next to me about something to do with the wolfs. I wasn't really listening because something else had caught my attention. Outside, I could hear the noise of someone's car coming up the driveway. Who could that possibly be? We hardly ever have visitors. The engine cut off and the sound of car doors opening and closing filled my ears. Scent of blood came through the open windows. I got up and looked out the window. I didn't recognise the faces but I was sure that this wasn't a wrong house number. Carlisle came back in the room to announce that the Sackville-Bagg's will be at our house tomorrow night, and then he looked out the window.

"Now, who could that be?" he asked more to himself than anyone else.

"I can smell blood," I told him. "Human." He nodded and went to answer the door. Bella, Edward and Rosalie headed for the stairs. I hung around to see who was at the door. I heard Carlisle opening the door and greeting our guests. Jasper appeared beside me and he wrapped his arms around my shoulders. We both looked up at our unexpected guests as they walked into the living room.
