Preface

I always wondered where I would go if I died. If I would get into heaven? Would I walk the earth? Or be a lost spirit. But I don't have to worry about that. I'm not afraid of sleeping eternally – forever and ever, in the deep black of nothingness. Death is what people think of when their time is up but death is what shows you're human. How do you know when it is? When it's your time.

I went through my daily routine. School, home, just the usual - usual was an understatement. But for so long I didn't know. I didn't notice him. I never took any notice until now. There were never any important signs that told me to were no signs at all. It showed me things that happened but they weren't important.

He sat there alone by himself. No friends surrounding him, no sounds, no speech. It was like being deaf around him. You couldn't hear anything and your senses were working perfectly fine. He looked normal, his appearance was more than welcoming. He was quite stunning actually and yet there he was... alone. Was he like us?

"I don't know what you are but I know you're not human," He confronted me.

I stood there speechless.

How did he know?

I had been under his microscope. He knew and there was no point in lying. I wanted to hear everything he knew about me. I had hidden it so well, since as long I have lived. How could this boy have known? I had never slipped up and he was never there to see.

My eyes opened wide, the shadows in my window stood in silence. The dark surrounded me and fear injected into my heart. I sat up. This was the time I wished I was normal but I can't hate what I'm a part of. I sat silently thinking about my last thoughts. It was inevitable. It was going to happen.

own thoughts.

There was definitely excitement in my life. It revolved around my family. Jasper and i went to our classes as usual. Time was slow and poor Jasper was in pain.

As we sat in english, Jasper was rigid. It wasn't easy being in a room full of food with a smell so strong. I squeezed his hand tightly under thte table while he squeezed back.

I waited for lunch but there was no excitement there, our food was right in front of us. We walked to the cafeteria. Rosalie and Emmett were in their usual seats. I led the way holding Jasper's hand.

Edward entered the cafeteria with a smirk on his face and sat down as usual.

"And thats a good thing because..." I asked confused.

"Alice can you not do that," Edward hissed.

"Even if i dont say it, you'll hear it," I laughed.

I saw Edward turn his head rapidly.

Whats wrong edward?

I cant hear her.

What?

You heard what i said, I cant hear her thoughts. Are you getting anything?

No. I see visions Edward.

"We don't have extra powers, what's going on?" Emmett asked, impatiant.

"I can't hear her thoughts," Edward replied, looking confused.

"Who?"

"Its the new girl, Her name's Isabella Swan, Chief Swans daughter. Jessica seems to be jealous."

The bell rung and we rushed to class. Edward left to biology and we went to our usual classes.

"How's Edward?" Jasper asked, concerned.

"He has to sit next to her," I replied, "He's not taking it very well and his thoughts are disturbing, but he's not going to hurt her"

"We'll see whats going on after school," He assured me, kissing me on the forehead.

As the bell went for the end of school, i waited by Edward's car with Jasper. Edward arrived and we all got in.

"You're leaving?"

"Can you keep your thoughts to yourself?" He hissed, as the car filled with silence.
