Twilight AU

Jasper and Alice

The Cullens are a normal foster care family that adopt children that are mistreated or need special care that can not be found elsewhere.

From both Alice Cullen and Jasper Whitlock's POV's

I looked into the mirror one last time. I had to look normal for my first day of school. My new father, who had adopted me literally a week ago, was the nicest man alive. I thought no one would take me. Who would want a crazy girl? That's what I was. Carlisle had adopted me from a mental institution for orphaned girls. I had been put there… I don't really remember how long ago because I had what they called a "psychotic break." I told people I could see the future, but I had never been able to prove it. Then I saw the most horrific thing! I started to freak out and they took me to the institution.

I sighed and stood up to get a good look at myself. My hair was styled so that the headband held it back from my face but not too tight and it came to my chin, how I always had it cut, and flared out in all directions curling away and up from my pale face. The purple circles under my eyes almost looked natural now that I had good eye shadow, and nice working mascara. I smoothed the bottom of my navy blue knee length dress and then fixed the belt before tying the strings at my waist that matched the bows I had tied at the elbows of my sleeves where the sleeves themselves stopped. It was chilly outside so I had put on my leggings to match.

I reached for my shoes and jumped slightly when I noticed my older brother Edward was leaning up against the door frame, "Morning, Alice. Do you want to ride with me to school this morning or Emmett and Rosalie?" He smiled and it reminded me a little of Carlisle, even though Edward and my other new siblings were also adopted. Edward had been ill when he was really young and had lost his mother. Carlisle was his doctor and helped him recover and adopted him shortly after. I ran my hand through his copper hair to fix the strands that had sort of popped out. He was only a little taller than me but I still had to stand on my toes. His dark eyes stared at me amused and his lip curled up in a crooked grin. He was wider than me also, but that wasn't hard. I hadn't eaten properly in six years. He was still big.

I had become really close with Edward, and even if I hadn't I was overall very comfortable with people in general. I was very outgoing and would have been extremely nice to him anyway. I stood up on my toes and kissed his cheek," Is it even a question?" I giggled and slipped my flats on, scurrying back into my bedroom to grab my backpack. I slipped it over my shoulder and stopped. My room. This was my bedroom. I hadn't had a room of my own in years and Carlisle had gone all out with it. I was so used to the white walls at the institution that the colors dazzled me.

My bed was covered in a light blue comforter with purple designs on it. The pillows and curtains matched and the walls were slightly lighter blue. Her carpet matched the walls and there was a purple carpet peeking out from under the bed slightly. To her right was a desk with a blue lamp and her new laptop. Her old one was destroyed in the institution a week before she met Carlisle. To her left was her full length mirror on the door to her walk in closet full of clothes she had chosen about the same day she had come home.

Home.

"You alright, Alice?" Edward asked from the door.

"Oh, yes!" she turned around on her heal and smiled brightly before taking his hand and skipping smoothly down the hall, Edward gliding next to her. The whole family seemed to move like this. No matter how big their actions or movements they all seemed to be moving so gracefully and Alice loved it. She saw her other two siblings in the kitchen. Emmett was huge. He literally was at least six two or three and was wide in the shoulders. His hair was black and cropped very short. He smiled, showing all his teeth when I came in. He was so muscular he had almost scared me at first, but my vision made me almost fearless. It was so horrible nothing else could compare.

He walked up to me and hugged me in a crushing hug, but as I wrapped my arms around his neck I could tell it looked natural. He set me down, his booming laugh filling the space we were in. He turned and wrapped an arm around Rosalie's hips. Even though they were legally siblings, the two had fallen madly in love.

Rosalie was as tall as Edward and always wore high heels. She was very muscular but she just appeared very athletic and fit like a runner or a gymnast. Her hair was long and blonde and fell in curls down her shoulders.

She kissed Emmett and turned to lean on the marble island in the middle of the kitchen where I hopped up onto one of the seats, " It was Emmett's turn to cook this morning right?" I asked, my voice sounding high and shrill in my own ears as Edward moved to sit next to me. Rose snorted and passed me a plate of eggs and bacon. Well, one egg and two slices of bacon. They would be lucky if I ate that much. Not that I didn't want to and I wasn't anorexic, I knew I was too skinny. I just hadn't been able to eat for so long that now I still couldn't eat much.

I ate and talked and actually almost finished the egg when I was full. Edward took my hand and led me out to his silver Volvo. I loved it and I had found out I was allowed to get whatever car I wanted. I had always wanted a bright yellow Porsche but I would never ask for something so expensive. The day after I asked Edward informed me that my Porsche was on its way. I couldn't even drive.

I climbed into the Volvo and buckled up. Edward sat in the driver's seat and we were off. I watched the trees of Forks zoom past, I still loved them though I heard you grow sick of them here because that is all you see here. All the same trees the same color against a constant grey sky. It was so much nicer than my normal scenery.

I noticed the leather band on Edwards wrist. I had seen it a few times. It had a silver crest on it and I had never asked about it before, "What is that, Edward?" I asked quietly, touching it with the tip of my index finger.

"It's the family crest. We all wear them. Emmett has a leather bracelet like mine and Rose had a locket." He grinned. I thought about what he said and sighed, trying not to seem sad not to have one. I mean, I wasn't part of the family yet. I had just gotten there.

"Where was Esme this morning?" Esme was Carlisle's wife. She was a lot like me. Smaller and thin with long dark auburn hair. I was closest to her but really they were all very welcoming.

"She slept in this morning. She wanted to get up to see you off like everyone to your first day of school but she is so sick Alice." He smiled.

"I understand. I know she wouldn't miss it for anything less." I smiled back, bouncing in my seat slightly as I could see the school out the right side of the car. He pulled into the parking lot and we both started to the office to get my schedule.

I stood in front of the desk in the front office and looked out the glass door, smiling and waving at whoever looked up at me. Most smiled, nodded or waved. Then everything seemed to change. The whole room became warped. I grabbed Edwards arm and he put an arm over my shoulder. I don't know what he was saying, he was leading me somewhere. I was having a vision. He sat me in a chair and held my hand, stroking my face then I wasn't with him anymore.

I was in the school. A hallway. No one else was in there except one male I could see. He was blonde, long honey blonde hair and very pale, more so than I was used to seeing. His eyes were so blue but so full of pain and sadness. He seemed tall and thin but he also was very strong though not very confident. He seemed to want to seem weak and be left alone. I watched him turn his back and then a larger boy slammed into him and tackled him to the ground. The larger boy I couldn't make out but he started beating the blonde mercilessly until the blonde punched him and flipped him over. I couldn't tell what happened next but then the blonde stood up and was clutching his bleeding side. He had been stabbed.

I gasped and was seeing Edward again," We…We have to go… I have to…" I didn't know what I needed to do, but I knew that boy, I had seen him before, but I didn't know where and I really wanted to help him. Edward took my hands in his and I met his eyes.

"I know where to find him, come on." I didn't know how he knew what I was talking about but after a few minutes of running through the halls, which were now empty because it was so close to class time, he had me in the same hallway from my vision and standing there was the blonde. I saw the larger guy and screamed at the blonde and he turned in time to see the larger boy. I watched in shock as he sidestepped the larger male and grabbed the back of his neck, slamming him to the floor.

He stood up and looked at me, tilting his head to the side for a moment then muttering a thank you and running off the other direction. I sighed and turned to Edward, so many questions in my head, but then the bell rang and he rushed me back to the office to get my schedule. I missed my first class because Edward had to explain why we ran off but second class was a shock for me when I walked through the doors of my Anatomy and physiology class.
