A/N: Ok, so I was way too excited about this story, so I decided to keep going and start this chapter the day after I posted. I also like the idea of playlists for stories.

It's summer so I've been invited to a few parties and friends houses so I haven't been home much since I posted. Sorry! THNX!!
Chapter 2: Moving On Out
(BPOV)
That night after Allie went to bed, Charlie called a realtor. He said that the house was available, and that if we wanted to buy the house, we'd have to hurry because the owner was thinking about moving back into it. That's all the convincing I needed to hear to know that Allie's vision would have come true! Charlie said that we'd go look at the house tomorrow, and take a look around. We didn't really need to because we were going to buy it anyway, but we did it to show that we're normal people! Wich we were quite far from!
"So we'll go there tomorrow after lunch?" Charlie asked me when he finished talking to the realtor.
"Um, dad can we go in the morning? I want to buy the house as soon as possible." I said.
"Well, if you want to. Is Allie coming with us?"
"I want her to see it. Just because she's going to live there soon, I want her to get used to it. Shes going to find that house weird at first." i said as I was about to head upstairs.
"Okay, we'll talk about it at breakfast. Good night Bella." he said kissing me on the cheeks and giving me a hug.
I walked over to Allie's room and opened her bedroom door to check on her. She looked so peaceful when she slept under the chocolate brown bed comforters. I could hear her breath going in and out. I smiled at her and walked out of the room, closing the door behind me.
I walked up the stairs and went to my room. I didn't sleep, just sat and organized my thoughts. Too bad they were only about Edward! I could see them meeting each other. I could see him being happy, then it quickly changed to hatred. I could see him being so utterly pissed off at me, and at Allie. I could feel myself begin to sob, but then I just began to think about Allie. I hoped with all of my unbeating heart that if he ever did come back, he wouldn't hurt her.
(ALLIE'SPOV)
I went to bed after I had taken a shower. I wasn't really tired, I just wanted to dream about that mysterious vampire coven. Why did they intrigue me so much? I didn't know. I got under the covers of my queen sized bed, and closed my eyes. I began to dream about them. I could see us in that house, I was playing my mom's lullaby. She was at the door frame with that very good looking vampire. He was staring wide eyed at me. Then he looked back at my mom, and he asked a question. I couldn't really uinderstand what it was. But I could see her nod her head in response. I then heard the end of the lullaby.
I was awoken slightly by my bedroom door opening. I could tell it was my mom. She would regularly check up on me in the night after these dreams started happening. I didn't want to worry her, so I pretended to be asleep. I heard the door shut and then I tried to go back to sleep. It was about a day before I turned 14. I was excited. My friends promised me that since tomorrow it was going to stop raining, that we would play flag football, my favourite sport, after school as a gift on my last day of being 13. I could play that game forever. That's when another dream started up.
I could see all of that coven standing in a giant field, with a football. I was running as fast as I could to beat the really big guy, and I was wining, I laughed at the fact that he was trying as hard as he could, but eh couldn't keep up. I ran faster, and caught the ball. Then I could see the really good looking vampire, the one from in my dreams with the piano, he was running towards me, and I began to run again. He was right behind me, he touched me once, went to touch me the second time, but I ran faster. That's it! We were playing double touch football. I ran and ran to the ed of the giant field, and slammed the ball into the ground. My mom and the lady with the caramel coloured hair was cheering. As well as the blonde haired man. The others were staring in shock at me. Then we all started alughing.
I drifted off into the dream, and fell into a deep sleep. O how I wished that these dreams would come true. It looked like alot of fun.
(BPOV)
The sun was beginnging to come out, so I decided to get up off the bed from my daydreaming. I headed downstairs to get breakfast started. I was making eggs and bacon. Charlie and Allie's favourite. The bacon was beginnig to sizzle when Allie came out of her room in her pajamas. She had a black hoodie, and gray shorts, she had a pruple tank top on underneath. SHe had her hair up in a messy pony tail.
"Morning mom! Are we going to see that house today?" she asked me yawning.
"Yup! I want you to come too Allie. I want you to get used to the house since we're moving into it. Is that alright?" I asked wile beginning stirr the eggs.
"Oh ya mom! That'll be fun. When are we going to leave? I want to get ready first."
"I think maybe after breakfast, of at least when Charlie decides to wake up!" I half yelled, hoping that Charlie would hear me and get the hint.
"I'm up! I'm up!" I could hear Charlie call from upstairs.
I laughed and served breakfast to Allie. She sat at the table with a smile on her face.
"Okay Allie. What's making you so happy?" I questioned her.
"Oh, I just had a really good dream about them last night. We were playing double touch football, and we were laughing and having a good time. I wish that one would come true." I smiled weakly at her, and sighed.
"Well, it sounds fun too. Hurry up and finish your breakfast, we have to get going to the house soon. If someone would wake up!" I started to yell as my sentenced yelled in the direcxtion of Charlies room. It was around 9:30 and Charlie was still asleep.
"I'm up! I'm up!" I could hear Charlies faint cries from his room.
Allie and I laughed quietly, adn she finished up her breakfast. Soon Charlie came down and we headed out for his cruiser and drove towards teh house we were going to call home. I suddenly felt a little nervous when we got closer and closer. If my heart still beat, it would probably be beating faster than Alice's driving! And she drove really fast! Allie sensed my nervousness and rubbed my shoulder to comfort me. I smiled at her, and she smiled back. We were soon at the end of the driveway of the big house. It brought back so many memories, and we weren't even at the house yet.
"Turn right here dad." I said to Charlie when I spotted the 'For Sale' sign.
We drove down the drive, I could gradually hear the near by stream. The driveway seemed longer that usual.
As we passed the bush that hid the house, I held my breath, and we broke passed and saw the house. It looked as good as ever! The cream colour of it. The big doors, the big windows, and the house towering 3 stories. It brought back way too many memories. I was beginning to think this was a bad idea after all!
Charlie put the car in park behind an orange hummer. We all got out and walked towards the house, when we were greeted by a man in a gry buisness suit at the frint door. The door. I could remember me and Edward standing there before going in to meet his parents, just before my dreadfull birthday, and the big party Alice threw after graduation. I couldn't look at it, so I looked at the man in the buisness suit.
"Hello there! I'm Gregory Daniels, your realtor, but you can call me Greg." the man said holding his had out to shake my fathers.
"Hello! I'm Charlie Swan, this is my daughter Bella and her daughter Allie." Charlie replied.
"If you would please follow me, I can give you a tour, or I could talk buisness with you Mr.Swan and teh ladies here can look around."
Before Charlie or I could respond, Aliie spoke up, "I wanna look around by myself mom, grandpa."
I smiled as did Charlie."Alright kiddo, but don't get lost!" Charlie giggled.
Greg opened the door and lead us into the house, and we walked in. It was still the same as I remembered. Just not as much furniture, no tv and no Cullen family. But other than that it was still the same. Big window, large staircase, and I looked to find Edwards beautiful piano gone. I could still hear my lullaby, like it was being whispered in the air around us. Allie soon came over to me and brought me back to the present.
"I'm gunna go look around alone okay mom? And I won't get lost okay?" she said.
"Alright, but don't be to long okay!" I called to her as she ran towards the staircase.
(APOV)
WOW! That was all I could say about this house! It was massive! Bigger than some houses I've seen on 'Cribs'! Man... was it ever big. I ran off towards teh staircase and climbed them as fast as I coul at my human speed, even though I could run as fast as a vampire, there was a realtor there, so I had to run normally. I reached the second floor. I looked into a room that had the door opened. I walked in and I could see marks along the walls. Almost as if there were lots of bookcases and paintings along them. I then left the room and continued down the hall.
I saw a few rooms that looked like bedrooms. I was just about to head up the other flight of staires when I noticed a closed door at the very end of the hallway. I retraced my steps and went towards the wall. I saw that there was a skeleton key hole and looked through. My breath cought in my throught!
There in the middle of the room was a big white grand piano. I pushed the door open and ran towards it. I stroked it lightly and sat down. I place my fingers on the ivory keys. I wasn't half bad at the piano. I convinced my mom to let me have lessons when I was about 5 or 6. I oculdn't remember. But I did remember being able to play my mothers lullaby. She told me alll about it. How my father whom I've never met wrote it for her, how it started and finished soflty, how it brought tears to her eyes when he first played it for her. It seemed to me that if my father loved her so much, why would he leave. I'd asked my mother multiple times if it was because of me, but she would always say that that was a stupid thing to say, and she would never really tell me. I composed myself and placed all of my fingers on the keys and decided to play her lullaby. It would start off slowly, and get louder, then grow softly again.
I began to play. I could suddenly begin to fell so many different emotions around me. Love, sadness, anger, desire, happieness, laughter, even jelousy. I closed my eyes and was trying to figure out why I could feel all these emotions as I played, It seemed to make them stronger.
Then I could hear voices.
A soft silvery laugh, a booming voice, a motherly greeting...then I heard it. Velvety smooth. I could hear it the clearest.
It was so smooth. Like honey. As the playing got louder, the feelings and voices got louder and clearer. Then I could see something under my eye lids.
"You play piano?" It sounded soft... kind of like... MOM? I could see her at the piano sitting on the bench beside someone, but I couldn't tell who.
"Yes, he's very good at it too!" a little silvery voice was saying as it began to fade away.
"You inspired this one." the velvet voice said as he began to say as I could begin to se who was speaking... my mothers lullaby playing around them. I could then see the man with the bronze hair playing the piano whith my mothers eyes closed.
The song began to end.
"That was beautiful, Edward!" My mom's voice could be heard as the last note was fading away. Then as I finished playing, the visioon dissaperaded.
"Edward!" I said to myself just below a whisper. That must have been him. My father, or maybe someone else. I wasn't sure.
But my mum always said that my father write that lullaby to her. So it must have been him. I was going to find out who he was and if it was true. I f he was my dad, and if he was still out there somewhere.
I could hear footsteps coming up the stairs, and I got up from the bench and headed for the door.
As I started down the hall, I caught up with Charlie and my mom.
"Hey kiddo, it's good to see you didn't get lost." Charlie laughed.
"Oh grandpa! I'm too pretty to get lost!" I said laughing.
"Yes you are, anyway, we signed for the house! Welcome top your new home Allie, Bella."
"YES!YES!YES!" I cheered. I was super physiched! I was going to be living in this house. This huge monster of a house! It could fit the whole town of Forks! And just in time for my birthday! That's when I got an idea. I just had to run it by mom first.
Swell!
(A/N: I was going to stop here, but I got a last minute idea to put in at the end.)
(Alices POV)
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN SOMEONE MOVED INTO THAT HOUSE AT THE LAST MINUTE?!" I yelled at Carlisle and Esme.
We were all gald to be getting the chance to go back to Forks, well all but Edward...I think he was secretly excited! So Carlisle got a call today from Greg, the realtor for the old house we were going to be moving back into, saying that someone bought the house today! I was pissed! I was so excited to move back there. We had been stuck in Alaska for the last few years, and I wanted to get out. It was torture. Not very good shopping facilities didn't help me much either!
"I mean somebody bought the house about 2 hours ago. So we're not moving I guess." Carlisle said looking at the floor.
"But we have to! I can't stay here anymore! Can't we just movve into another house near there? I want to go back to Forks.!" I answered yelling again.
"The realtor said there are no availible houses there until next spring. We're sorry Alice!" Esme said while hugging me.
"But I wanted to see Bella again!"
Everyone froze as I said her name. It had been difficult to talk about her with some people around cough-Edward-cough! BUt I didn't care! Edward made me leave my best friend behind without a goodbye almost 14 years ago. I wanted to see if she moved on, how happy she's been, if she was even happy at all. I missed her! Very much!
"Don't worry Alice. We'll see her again soon. Maybe. Let's just forget about it and move on okay?" Jasper tried comforting me while rubbing my shoulder.
"Alright. Fine."
We walked towards the living room where Emmett and Rosalie were playing video games, with Emmett losing badly!
"Hey, do you know who moved into the house Alice?" Emmett asked me.
"No, but I'll look."
I closed my eyes looking for the new owner of our old house, but came up blank. Why? I tried harder, but still nothing! Was something wrong? This made me mad.
"I can'te see anything! Nothing,zip,ziltch! It's blank!" I said opening my eyes.
All three of them just stared at me. Wide eyed. This usually didn't happen. And I was freaking.
"What? You can't see anything?" Jasper asked me.
"Nope! Nothing!" I started to panick.
"Calm down Alice! We should talk to Carlisle." Rosalie said, while Jasper was sending calming waves troughout the room. But that wasn't going to help me now.
"NO! There's no time for that! I want to find out who's in that house! NOW!" I almost screamed.
"Alright! Finally some action around here besids hunting! But what are we going to do?" Emmett cheered as he put away the video games.
"We're going to pay a little visit to that old house. Today! Or when Edward and Carlisle and Esme go out. We have to keep this a secret. I don't want Carlisle mad, and Edward having a spaze at me. We'll run there, and spy on the house. I want to know why I can't see them, and who they are. And if we can, we'll drive them away from that house!" I smiled as I revealed my plan, only making Jasper looking more and more nervous at each word I said.
"When will we do that, and how will we do it with Edward in the house? He could be listening to us right now." Rosalie said in a hushed voice.
"Well, we could say we were going shopping, and we could run a little bit of the ways. We could probably make it there and back by then end of the day." I said.
"Okay, but when would we leave?" Emmett asked.
"It would have to be in the next couple of days. It's the 13th today right? Why don't we leave tomorrow? Theres supposed to be a big shoe sale going on tomorrow at the mall, but I'm willing to miss it. It probably won't be that good anyway. We could use that as an excuse to go shopping." I suggested.
"Alright Alice. We'll do this. But only if you promise that all we're doing is finding out who's living there, and scaring them away if we have to. Got it?" Jasper said.
"Huh! Fine!" I groned. I wanted to use this as an excuse to try and find Bella too!
So we agreed to the plan, and we were to head out around 7:00 amd. I was supposed to say that I wanted to get there early.
W were going to drive to the mall, leave our car there, and run the rest of the way. When we got to the house, we would hide in the bushes, watching to see who could be living there. And if we had to scare them away, they would be gatting a whole load of Alice screaming at them. I couldn't wait to see who lived there!
SO there's chapter 2. I'm sorry I didn't post in a long time. The next few chapters are going to be pretty exciting. Read and review. THNX!!
