Chapter 1 - Visions

It was another sunny day so we were out as a family hunting, the musky smell of mountain lion was in the air and, giving in to my animalistic nature as I stalked my prey, I felt relatively content.

After taking down two elk and the mountain lion I was feeling pretty gorged so I decided I'd go meet Alice by the river, as her thoughts announced that she was finished with her own hunt and enjoying kicking her feet in the cool water.

Hey Edward. Her thoughts called out to me before I was close enough to see her.

"Hey Ali." I replied as I came to sit beside her on the rocky river bank. "Anything of interest in our futures?"

"Not that I've seen, everything seems to be the usual." She shrugged, looking over at me.

We'd been sitting in quiet conversation when she gasped, her eyes glazing over and her mouth popping open as a vision hit her strong and hard.

A beautiful brunette walked into the cafeteria at school and sat with Jessica Stanley. They were talking about who's who at school when the brunette asked about us, turning around and watching our table.

"Oh." Alice muttered. "Looks like there'll be a new student when school goes back next month."

"Yay." I muttered disinterestedly. "It's not like that has any bearing on us, Ali."

Eventually the family gathered around us and we started to head back towards Forks as Carlisle had to work tomorrow.

It had been three days since that hunting trip and I needed to feed again, as soon as I made the decision to go for a quick hunt Alice was by my side stating that she'd come and keep me company.

"Ok, Ali. Lets go." I muttered, a little upset at the fact the family still doesn't trust me to go anywhere alone after the time I didn't come back for a week. They just don't understand how hard it is to be there, alone, and having to listen to their thoughts about one another all day everyday.

We hunted slowly, taking our time and just enjoying being away from the house for a while, soon enough we were sated and leisurely heading back to the house in companionable silence. Well, silence for Alice, I had to listen to her thoughts on going shopping before school went back.

We were more than halfway to the house when Alice suddenly collapsed beside me.

YAY for evil cliffies.

Mwahaha.

Review and I'll tell you why Alice collapsed.
