This is an AU of how Alice came to be but really Stephenie, an evil stepmother?

I'm sorry, charmed-dark angel, that I didn't make it clear enough but the reason Jasper didn't recognize Alice when he met her in that Philly diner. Little Alice was chubby, four or so years old, and had long curled hair while Alice is thin to the extreme, has short spiky hair and is old enough to be his mate. Also I figured that after she became a vampire she would no longer smell the same. So he would not connect the older Alice with the baby Alice. P.S. I fixed it, well somewhat. Plus her parents would be calling her Mary but I haven't figured out how to put that in, yet.

Disclaimers: All this belongs to Stephenie Meyer, of course but the glory, the glory is God's. But the mistakes are mine, all mine.

Chapter 5

Now came the time to tell them how her change had truly happen. "There came one day a strange vampire…" she began.

"Strange?" Edward asked. "Strange how?"

"He was the only vampire I've ever seen that was, and believe me being with the Volturi I've seen many, well, he was plain. In fact being a vampire this would classified him as ugly."

"James!" most if not all cried out.

"You know this vampire?" Sarah asked, surprised.

"We've met." Bella told her.

"Ahh…" Sarah understood. "This is that one."

"Yes." Edward growled.

She gave him a small smile as if pleased then continued. "Yes, well, he arrived in the field one day while Calvin and Alice were having one of their outings."

"Was that when he attacked?" Jacob asked.

"No," Sarah when on, "Calvin talked him out of it is the best way to explain it. The vampire seem to want her but if he started for her in anyway Calvin convince him not to."

"How?" Emmett asked.

"I can't be sure but from what I observed," Sarah told him. "I believe that Calvin lied about her being there. He saw Alice when he first arrived even gestured to her but after Calvin spoke; he acted as if there was nothing there. The vampire then took a deep breath and once again gestured but this time only in the general area of her. Calvin spoke once again and after what seem to be an internal struggle the vampire turned away and left. Calvin took Alice's arm and returned to the asylum."

"So Calvin must have told James that Alice wasn't there and therefore he couldn't see her." Jasper said.

"But he could still smell her." Edward added.

"Until Calvin told him he couldn't smell her either." Emmett joined in.

"But some hunter instinct must have told him that there was some prey around, and that is why he struggled." Jasper continued.

"But Calvin's lies were stronger than James' instinct." Edward agreed.

"So what happen, why did he come back to get me?" asked Alice.

"Victoria." Bella told her at the same time that Jacob said.

"The red-head vamp."

'Yes, the read head." Sarah nodded. "Although I did not see her then, she must have watch and heard what had occurred. It probably took some time to convince James that Alice had been there and that the vampire with Alice had tricked him."

"That probably pissed him off." Jacob added.

"I do not know how they got into the asylum but I saw them leave. The front of the building which I could see from I stood had many windows. I could see Calvin and this James fighting with Victoria waiting on the side line."

"For James to finish Calvin off." said Edward. "She could believe nothing less."

"Of Alice, I could see nothing until she ran from the building in the same moment that James was thrown from the building into the street below. He was quickly followed by Victoria and then by Calvin."

"Oh my God." Carlisle whispered. "Alice."

"Yes." Sarah answered.

"What?" Esme asked, fearfully.

"Alice was under all that falling glass." Carlisle explained.

"Yes." Sarah said again. This time everyone understood.

"Oh my God." whispered Rosalie. "What happen next?"

"Victoria seemed to be pulled between going after Alice and leaving to find James. When Calvin made to attack her she ran to the street to James." Sarah took an unneeded breath. "Calvin then turned to Alice, paused to pull a few of the larger pieces of glass from Alice's body and head."

She did not stop speaking even when everyone winced or flinched at her words. "Then lifted her into his arms and ran behind the building and into the trees there."

"What were you doing as this was happening, watching, just watching? Edward accused Sarah angrily.

"Edward!" Bella looked at him shocked.

"Edward," Carlisle said to him, "this is her brother, remember."

"This happen in mere seconds, Mr. Cullen." Sarah told him, stiffly. "By the time I reacted my brother was gone. But even as fast a vampire can travel it still took a few seconds longer to run the fifty or so miles to get there."

"You can see over fifty miles?" questioned Jasper.

"Further," she answered, shortly. "but I can only run as fast as a old woman vampire can."

"I'm sorry," Edward said to her "I was just caught up in the moment and spoke without thinking."

"That's alright, Edward." Sarah gave him a small smile. "I understand how you feel."

"By the time I got there neither James nor Calvin were in sight but I caught Victoria as she ran around the asylum…"

"You did!" Emmett exclaimed. "How did you do that?"

Sarah gave him a puzzled look and shrugged. Edward explained. "We believe her gift was the ability to escape capture."

"She must have been so intent on James and Calvin that she didn't realize that Sarah was upon her." Jasper suggested.

"I threw her back into the street below." Sarah continued. "I tried to follow Calvin's scent but I'm afraid I'm too used to using my eyesight that my nose failed me."

She paused for a long moment while everyone waited. She finally looked up and all could see that if was possible she would have tears in her eyes.

"I may not been able to follow Calvin's scent but there is a smell a vampire never forgets once smelled, I followed that. When I arrived at the source of the smell James was standing alone there glazing into the flames. I realized that Calvin had lost the battle. And I'm sorry to say but I'm afraid that I assumed that Alice had too. Which is what I reported to Aro on my return."

"Why didn't James attack you?" Bella wanted to know.

"She was Volturi," said Edward.

"Yes, but so was her brother," Emmett told him.

"There was no need." Jasper explained. "He had already finished his hunt."

"Yes, he realized that I was Volturi and arrogantly told me that I had no right to interfere. I told him that maybe that was true but Aro probably would like to know his reasoning for his inferences in a Volturi project. He stared at me for a moment as if trying to decide to take me out also, when Victoria ran pass gasping his hand and they left my present and I never saw them again." There was a long moment of silence before Sarah spoke again. "I'm sorry I never looked for you, my dear but until yesterday I believed that Calvin had lost and that you must have been drained and thrown into the fire with him. If I had known – but perhaps it is a good thing I didn't know – I would have most likely taken you to Aro. May I ask? … What happen?"

"James told Bella that he hunted Alice but an old-timer had turned her before he could get her so he killed the ancient in revenge because she was of no use anymore." Edward told her.

"He just left you all alone?" Sarah asked shocked. "He didn't come back for you?"

"No," Alice answered, "which by the way I'm happy about too!"

"But how did you survive?"

"By my visions…I saw Carlisle and that taught me how to live while I waited for Jasper."

"So the glass." Edward spoke into the quiet.

"Yes, the glass." Carlisle answered.

"What about the glass?" Alice wanted to know.

"Well," Carlisle began, "the glass fell on you and entered your body. It is most likely severed the pass way to your long-term memories."

"But would've the vampiration healed the pass way?" asked Emmett. "Sarah did see Calvin start to remove the glass. He must have finish. You don't have anything sticking out of you do you, Alice?"

"No!" she laughed.

"Well then?"

"Maybe he didn't get all the glass out." Bella added remembering Carlisle digging for glass in her arm that fateful birthday.

"True." Carlisle agreed. "If he only took out the glass he could see or feel enough to remove there may still be glass inside her."

Alice grimace at the thought of glass still in her body.

"It wouldn't be of any harm to her, now that she is changed but a piece may be what is blocking her access to her human memories."

"Is there anything you can do, Carlisle?" Esme asked.

"As of right now there is no way of even seeing if there is anything in her brain, let alone removing it without harming her." He explained.

"Well, if you've wondering if there is anything in – " was as far as Emmett got before the pillow in his face stopped him.

a/n: So Sorry it was late and kinda short. Hopefully I'll do better.
