One Day Earlier...
Edward
It started out like an ordinary day. Thursday, after school. My 4 siblings and I were sitting around the living room arguing over Mrs. Gines and her poor choice of make-up.
"I swear," Alice said, "If that woman wears that same stupid bright blue eyeshadow and bright pink lipstick I an going to murder her in her sleep!"
"You, my love, will do no such thing," Jasper told her. "And besides, it's not that bad."
"Are you crazy?" Rosalie said. "That woman is completely wacko!"
"No, actually, it's funny," Emmett said. "Like a clown, you know?"
"It's stupid and she needs to die!" Alice insisted.
"I honestly have no opinion considering the fact that I don't have her as a teacher," I stuck my tongue out. They all threw pillows at me and laughed.
"Speaking of school," Carlisle said as he walked into the room. "Edward, Alice, care to explain this?" He held up an envelope addressed to him and Esme...from the school.
Alice and I looked at each other. Her thoughts matched my own.
We're dead.
"Math, Edward?" Esme walked in and looked very unhappy. "Really?"
"It's Alice, too," I said, but I know it won't help. Esme tolled her eyes and walked out. Carlisle drops the envelope on the coffee table.
"Fix it," he said to me, then looked at Alice. "Both of you." And then he left to go to work.
The thoughts going around the room were pretty much the same. Alice has never been good at math, even when she was human. Me, on the other hand...
I grew up on the same island Alice did. I took a trip to Chicago when I was seventeen (after getting under the stupid wall) and got caught in a really bad accident. I was nearly dead, thinking to myself 'You just hadto go under the wall and escape, didn't you?. That's when Carlisle found me, and changed me. Once the transformation was done I went back to the island and moved to the vampire side. Alice was 21 by that time time, and I was frozen 17. And slowly falling for her 12 1/2-year-old sister...
I sighed. Everyone was effected when they took her away. No one knew if she was alive. When she was taken, it nearly killed the entire island. Until they came back a few hours later and didkill us all. Alice was trying to get to me when she was bitten. I got her off the island and we eventually got to Carlisle's family here in Forks. But her sister was gone and that was what kept tearing us apart.
My thoughts were interrupted when Alice gasped.
A girl...in a small, steel cell. Long brown hair, deep brown eyes. A wristband...someone outside the cell. The girl gasping in pain.
"You know what?" the person says. "I'm just going to leave." A door opens and closes, then she screams out in pure agony.
During the vision, Alice and I had no clue who it was. But when we saw her give u and pass out, the looks of horror and shock on or faces were identical.
We whispered her name at the same time.
"Bella."
