Alice Brandon's Point of View
Chapter 1: Incident
"I'll call you later, Rose!" I shouted to my best friend as I started my long walk home. I had such a great weekend planned: tonight, Friday night, I was going swimming at Edward's place with Rose, Emm, and Bella. Saturday, I was going to go to my aunt's house and babysit her two toddlers, but they'll be asleep most of the time I'm there, so I have an all-access pass to her hot tub. And on Sunday, Emm and I were going up to the gas station to get some Volts and just hang out.
"Emm! Wait up!" I yelled at him. I had spotted him on the street corner at the cross walk.
"Hey Ali," he said coolly, taking my hand. Emm and I had been together for two years now.
"How was your day?" I asked nonchalantly. He looked sad; dejected, almost.
"Not so good. I failed the math test."
"Aww, Emmy," I cooed, hugging him reassuringly. He patted my back in approval; I just closed my eyes and buried my face in his chest. He rested his cheek on my head, making us miss the walk signal.
"I love you, Ali."
"I love you too, Emm."
The walk signal flashed again; Emmett hoisted me up over his shoulder and ran across the street.
"So, you're most definitely coming to Edward's house tonight?"
"Mhm." Of course, anything to see me in a bikini.
"Good, I'll tell Rose later," I said, hugging him once more before turning onto my street.
"Bye!" he called, rushing home. He didn't wait for a reply.
"Mary Alice," someone said from behind me. I turned around quickly.
No one was there. I shrugged it off and kept walking.
"Mary Alice," the voice repeated. I turned around again. No one.
"Mary Alice, listen to me," it persisted. Must be my head.
"Mary Alice" it said sternly "listen to me! He wants to hurt you."
"Who?" I asked aloud, feeling stupid for talking to someone I didn't know existed.
"Emmett," the voice seethed.
"He would never hurt me."
"He will now," the voice hissed.
"How can I be sure?"
"You'll see," it laughed, fading into dead silence.
