Disclaimer: I do not now, nor will I ever own Twilight but if it would hurry up and get here I will soon own a hamburger phone.
Normally the drive from Forks to Seattle takes about three and a half hours but with Rosalie behind the wheel the trip only took about two. We spent the entire ride catching up on everything we found it hard to gossip about in a house full of vampires with super hearing and jamming to the required 'girl's night out' classics.
Once we arrived we quickly parked and made our past the long line waiting to get into The Showbox. As soon as we reached the bouncer, he took one look at Rosalie and pulled aside the velvet ropes to allow us inside. This was of course followed by a chorus of groans by some other patrons who, from the looks of it, were going to be waiting in line for quite awhile.
The Showbox has always been one of my favorite clubs in Seattle. They always have an awesome atmosphere and good bands playing and for me, good music is a must. Rosalie prefers dance music as well as pop and hip hop but I prefer rock especially indie rock and many times the Showbox provides a little of both.
As soon as we walked in we quickly scoped out our surroundings and headed straight for the dance floor. It wasn't long before we were lost in the music and movement of our bodies to the beat as 3Oh3's Don't Trust me began playing and I couldn't help but sing along.
Black dress, with the tights underneath.
I've got the breath of a last cigarette on my teeth.
And she's an actress, (actress), but she ain't got no need.
She's got money from her parents in a trust fund back east.
T-t-t-tongues, always pressed to your cheeks.
While my tongue is on the inside of some other girl's teeth.
T-tell your boyfriend, if he says he's got beef,
That I'm a vegetarian, and I ain't fucking scared of him.
She wants to touch me whoa-oh.
She wants to love me whoa-oh.
She'll never leave me whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh, oh.
Don't trust a hoe.
Never trust a hoe.
Won't trust a hoe
Cause a hoe won't trust me.
She wants to touch me whoa-oh.
She wants to love me whoa-oh.
She'll never leave me whoa-oh, woah-oh, oh, oh.
Don't trust a hoe.
Never trust a hoe.
Won't trust hoe
Cause a hoe won't trust me.
X's on the back of your hands,
Wash them in the bathroom to drink like the bands,
And the set list (set list), you stole off the stage,
Had red and purple lipstick all over the page.
Br-br-br-bruises, cover your arms.
Shaking in the fingers with the bottle in your palm.
And the best is,(best is) no one knows who you are,
Just another girl: alone at the bar.
She wants to touch me whoa-oh.
She wants to love me whoa-oh.
She'll never leave me whoa-oh, whoa-oh, oh, oh.
Don't trust a hoe.
Never trust a hoe.

Shush girl, shut your lips.
Do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips.
I said shush girl, shut your lips.
Do the Helen Keller and talk with your hips.

Suddenly I was pulled from my dance induced trance by a scent I knew very well, vampire. I felt Rosalie stiffen beside me and knew she smelled it as well. We made our way off of the dance floor and over to a table so that we could scope out our surroundings.
Other vampires aren't necessarily dangerous to us but if they felt we were intruding on their territory there could be problems. It's always good to be prepared for anything.
The scent was stronger here and getting more powerful by the second yet I still couldn't see any other vampires as I scanned the top of the crowd. I glanced over at Rosalie nervously and saw that she wasn't having much luck either.
Suddenly a musical little voice I didn't recognize piped up excitedly.
"Hi Bella!"
If it were possible for me to shit my pants I would have done so on the spot I was so startled.
Standing in front of me, bouncing excitedly from one foot to the other, was an extremely petite vampire, with inky black hair spiked all over her head. My eyes widened as I fully took her in. She was dressed to the hilt in all designer clothes and as my eyes made their way toward her face I was suddenly accosted by a huge smile and large friendly golden eyes.
"I'm Alice" she said sticking her hand out in front of her, "we're going to be great friends."
My mouth just dropped in shock. Not only did this strange vampire know my name, she was obviously a vegetarian like us and apparently she's crazy. I wondered briefly if it was possible for vampires to get high on drugs because if it is, this girls trippin'.
"Um, hi" was all I managed.
If it was possible her smile grew even wider and it looked like perhaps she was going to throw herself at me when she suddenly turned her attention to Rosalie.
"Hey Rosalie, I love your clothes" she gushed, "I can't wait to go shopping with you and Esme, it's going to be so much fun I can't wait! You're going to look beautiful in your gown at Jazzy and my wedding."
Holy crap she is bat shit crazy! Not only does she know our names but she thinks she's going to marry Jasper? We have got to get away from this basket case and warn the others before she shows up on our doorstep and starts moving herself in.
Rosalie was for the first time in her life at a loss for words. She just kept looking from Alice to me with her mouth hanging open and an expression on her face that portrayed exactly what I was thinking.
Alice didn't seemed put off by this at all, in fact she just took a seat at the table like she belonged there and kept smiling at us like this was the best day of her life.
Rosalie still hadn't moved and clearly she wasn't going to be any help so I was going to have to take matters into my own hands. We needed to know as much as we could about this girl and why she seems to know so much about us. But where to begin this incredibly strange conversation? I decided to just take a page out of Emmett's book and get straight to the point.
"Who are you? How do you know who we are? Any why the fuck would you want to marry Jasper?" I asked in a voice too low for the humans to hear.
Alice let out a trilling little giggle before she began. "I'm Mary Alice Masen and I can see the future. I've had visions of us becoming sisters for quite some time now. I know all about you and your family and I love you all already! As for Jasper" she gave a little sigh of contentment, "I've had visions of him ever since I awoke in this life and I've just been waiting until the time is right to begin our forever together. He's my soul mate."
Alice took in a quick breath before continuing, "we've just recently left the Volturi and traveled here to start our lives over when I began having my visions about you. We're even vegetarians too so I know we'll fit into your lifestyle just fine."
This was too much for me. I was on information overload which is really hard to do to a vampire. I have in front of me a hyper little vampire who not only has the power to see the future but she sees her future as joining our family and being Jasper's soul mate. Not to mention the fact that she just nonchalantly mentioned that they were former members of the Volturi and… wait did she say we?
"Um Alice did you say we? Who's we?" I asked
Before she could begin again, Rosalie seemed to snap out of her daze. "We need to take this outside we are starting to attract too much attention just sitting here. Besides we need to call Carlisle and let him know what's going on."
I nodded in agreement and turned to Alice to explain but before I could say anything she got a glazed look on her face for a fraction of a second and then started.
"You're right. We do need to get out of here now, otherwise there will be trouble in about two minutes time when one of the bartenders slices his hand open."
Rosalie and I exchanged glances before quickly standing and making our way to the front door of the club. We may have excellent self control but we like to stay away from the temptation of freshly spilt human blood at all costs. Besides we had no idea what Alice's restraint may be.
Several seconds later we emerged outside into the cool Seattle night. Rosalie pulled out her cell phone and quickly began dialing Carlisle when I remembered what I had asked back in the club.
"Alice, back in the club you said we, who is we?"
"Oh silly me" laughed Alice, "when I said we I meant my brother Edward and I."
Just then Rosalie snapped her phone shut and rejoined us. "Carlisle would like to invite you and your brother to accompany us back to Forks so that we can talk."
Alice jumped and clapped her hands excitedly, "Of course we'll come! I can't wait to see everyone in person and to actually meet Jasper!'
""Okay" I said slowly, "well, where is this brother of yours?"
"He's waiting just down the street for me" Alice said skipping down the street, "large crowds hurt his head."
We followed behind warily until we reached a bench on at the end of the sidewalk on which the most glorious man I have ever seen in my two hundred and seventy-three years on this planet was waiting.
The next chapter will be from Edward's POV. Please review!
