Prologue

The vision came out of nowhere. Alice stopped in the middle of her hunt and she fell on her knees, hands clutching her head as she tried to make sense of what she what she was witnessing. The vision was blurring in and out.

There was a girl, her legs kicking around, she tried to scream as her hand clutched at something gripping her neck. She was being held in the air by an arm, her eyes were bulging and her mouth open trying to take in some breath. Suddenly she collapsed on the floor. The vision blurred again until it focused on someone else stepping in front of her. Alice cried out as the vision focused on the long black cloak, sweeping over the forest floor. The witch twins, Jane and Alec, the most powerful weapons known to the vampire world were walking hand in hand into the picture. They both were smiling when the girl at their feet started to scream. The cries were deafening as she screamed, one man rushed forward, throwing his body in front of the girl only to be pushed off and thrown aside by Felix, the twins bodyguard. Nobody was more physical strong then him, he did all their dirty work.

Alice could feel hands pulling at her, her family asking what she was seeing but she couldn't respond as she was drawn in again by the intense vision. The screaming had stopped only to be replaced by the girl being pulled back up, one of the cloaked vampires stepped behind her, grasping her tight as his fangs punctured her jugular, blood flowing down her caramel colored skin.

Finally Alice could hear Jasper's frantic calls of her name. She looked up into his eyes and her hands clutched at his. "The Volturi are in Forks."
