I leaped out of the tree, and sped through the forest. I ran hard, and didn't stop. I knew what was going to happen. I had to reach this "Forks" and warn the inhabitants.

I crossed the American border at around 2am, and bolted straight towards the town. Suddenly, a large, still lake appeared on the horizon. I sighed, and dived into the water, and swam deep down, coming up on the other side of the lake only moments later.

I continued my run, watching out for humans. No need for more interrogations. Sometimes I wanted to kill the measly human who thought himself important enough to waste others' time, but I simply couldn't bring myself to do it. No matter how seemingly worthless the human seemed, I couldn't take a human's life in cold blood. Simply impossible.

I hit a highway, and decided to follow the empty road. Awhile later, I passed a sign saying "Forks next turn-off" I scanned the road up ahead, and sure enough, there was a small, worn road, leading off into the forest. I took off down the road, and came across a small high school. The scent of my kind was strong here, and I found a scent leading away, towards the far end of town. I pursued the scent relentlessly, knowing that I had to warn this coven.

I found myself at a mansion, with one side entirely glass. Slowly, I stepped up to the door, and rang a doorbell at 6 am.

Alice's pov

I saw it only moments before he arrived. A small twelve year old boy, ringing the doorbell. I shrugged out of Jasper's protective arms, and wove my way to the door. I opened it, and behold, a tattered twelve year old, waiting at the door. I knew immediately that he was a vampire, although his eyes were nor red nor golden. They were a simple brown, but looked so deep, though not at all readable.

I heard my family arrive behind me, and Carlisle stepped forward. I moved behind Jasper, and he assumed a more protective position in front of me.

"Well, good sir, might you explain your sudden appearance?" Carlisle asked, in a polite tone. The boy glanced to the side, and then spoke. "I came to warn you, Carlisle. The Ancients have decided to bombard your coven with hardships, greater than anyone has ever seen."

Edward frowned. "How did you know his name?" A smile played at the boy's lips. "I know quite a good bit, Edward." He trilled. Carlisle thought his options; I could see each outcome of them. The one most certain thing was that the boy was dangerous, but he would not harm us. "Well, why don't you step inside, so that we can discuss this a bit more carefully?" Carlisle motioned for the boy to enter, and he stepped into our home. We went into the living room, and spread out on the couches. The boy sat on a small recliner, and I sat next to Jasper on a loveseat.

The boy took in each of our expressions before continuing on in his high voice. "I am here to warn you, as I said, of the hardships that will soon arrive upon your family."

Jasper nodded, and I felt his chin bump against my forehead. "That's very considerate of you, coming to tell us this information. What time are you from?" I frowned at him. What a great question, I thought. I heard Edward snort. "I'm from well before history had begun." He replied. Emmett looked at him questioningly before asking. "Do you have a gift?" The boy nodded. "You know," he grinned. "Most would have asked my name. My power is shape shifting. I can rearrange the molecules in my body to take on another's gift, or simply their persona." Edward looked stunned. "Well, I guess I should ask your name." he muttered. The boy smiled. "I'm Jamie Restwood." Esme nodded. "Well, Jamie, were you in any important historic event that would aid us to better comprehend you?" Jamie bit his bottom lip. "I was in many. Do you know that Jesus Christ was real?" Carlisle and Edward both gave small "Mmhhmm. I was more like "say what?" Jamie continued. "He was, and I will assume you've heard the songs, like the little drummer boy?" A small yep" was ensued from the top of the stairs. Nessie stood there, perfectly at ease.

"Nessie, go back to bed, sweetheart." Edward spoke softly. She ignored her father's instructions and came to sit at his feet. "Go on, Jamie." Bella sighed.

"Well, my first appearance in history was as the little drummer boy. I had just gone to see, with a gift for Him, but once I saw the child, I knew that I could give a better gift. So, obviously, I played my drum. I can still remember the face perfectly, it was amazing. His little face was adorable, loving the music." Edward went "Awww." Jamie laughed. "He was pretty cute, wasn't he? Look." Suddenly the world went blank, and I saw the cutest baby, smiling and cooing. I heard a steady drum going, and I could tell why the baby was so happy. The music, played so simply on a snare drum, was amazing. Suddenly, I was back in the living room. "That was adorable." Rosalie stated.

Jamie smiled. "Yes, He was, wasn't He? My next was …well, Saint Nick. I had seen the poor state of many children, and so I crafted toys out of wood. I changed my shape, and distributed toys to children. They were so incredibly gleeful and joyous… well, they were cute. My next appearance was um. I was adopted by the Whitlock family. Yes, Jazz, don't you miss your brother?" Jasper gasped as Jamie took the form of a boy in much different clothes, and had a mischievous twinkle in his eye. "Jamie!" Jasper gasped, and unwrapped his arms from around me to hug Jamie. "When you first said your name, I felt so bad about my lost little brother! You were the only one I missed! Oh, I'm so glad you're back!" I just sat there, and finally, Jasper had calmed down enough to sit back down next to me, and Jamie continued his story. "Well I was Terry Fox. I don't know why, but one night when I was laying down, and yes I can sleep, the doctor tried to take my pulse, and well that doesn't work to well with our kind. And so, I was unable to finish it, but if I had, I don't think I would have raised nearly as much money for cancer. So, that's about all." We stared at him, and Jasper started mumbling about how glad he was that Jamie was back. I smiled. "Well, Jamie, if you would like to stay, I bet Jasper would be more than happy to let you stay in our room." He grinned, and Jasper punched his fist in the air. "Thank you Alice! Thank you Alice! Thank you Alice! Thank you Alice!" He bounced at hyper speed, and bounded up the stairs screaming "Follow me Jamie!" Jamie smiled warmly at us, thanked Carlisle, and trudged after his adopted brother.
