Author's Note: This is yet another new thing I'm trying. I can tell you now that there will not be a happy ending. There isn't supposed to be. I should explain the family's structure some. Edward and Alice are twins. They're a little younger than their normal ages. Their parents are going to be Charlie and Renee, because I couldn't make Carlisle and Esme be the antagonists. And I found it ironic that their mom was named Renee. I'm not sure how the other characters will fit in, but I will try to work them in. I'm sorry if this is the most horrible thing you've ever read. It's mostly venting really. So, umm, I don't own Twilight, just this life. So, umm, yeah.

Prologue Cowardly Phone Call

Edward's POV

Friday. Home from school. The feeling of weekend freedom was tangible in the air. I could sense the energy falling off my twin sister, Alice, in tsunami-sized waves. We headed up to her room with the intention of siphoning off all the pent up hyperness. You know, blare some music, dance around like the two idiots we are until we are lacking in the ability to move.

I could do stuff like that with my twin. Our similarities way outweighed our differences. We never judged each other. Our worries that the other one will find one of our ideas stupid or childish were completely unjustified, because we surprised each other with the parallels of our thinking. And that's the way it should be. Two halves of one brain. So, without saying a word, she slipped back downstairs and returned with two cokes and a bowl of popcorn, while I cranked up a song I new we'd both like to hear. That's how in tune we've always been.

Halfway through I'll Think of a Reason Later, the phone started ringing. A blue box popped up on the TV in the room, announcing the call was coming from Dad's cell phone. I dashed into the adjoining room to grab the phone while Alice turned down the music. I figured he was probably calling for Mom, so I anticipated a quick conversation consisting of me informing him she wasn't home yet. I picked it up and he said he was on his way home, but he needed to talk to the both of us about something first.

I walked back into the other room and put the phone on speaker. Alice glided over to my side. "I have something I need to tell you," the phone crackled out.

There was a pause followed by five more words.

My mind shut down and I saw red.

A/N: Really Short, I know. Just setting the story up. Please review. Tell me what you think. If you have any guesses as to what Charlie said, tell me. You probably won't get it right, but I want to know what you're thinking. I'm not really Edward; I can't read your mind. Therefore, you have to tell me. Thanks!
