Chapter 4: All So Soon

Alice POV

As I stepped into the house it was like a wonderland. I guess I must have gasped because Lexi giggled. Bella's eyes were full of wonder. "Wow. What a home. I probably couldn't explore this house in all the time I could live!" Bella said. Her voice was like a kid in the Ontario Mills Mall in California. And trust me, that place was HUGE! This house would be Esme's own personal heaven. It was a grand castle. There were marble floors and walls and columns that led to different doors. Each door was different. Like instead of a sign on each door, there was a whole different door to mark what was through it. It was gorgeous.

"Do you like it?" A blonde girl in the corner asked. I wonder if she was my sister as well. I doubt it. She looked nothing like me except in the face a little bit. "It's extraordinary" Bella answered. "Al-Mary is in shock I think." I realized that my mouth was hanging open and I shut it immediately. I didn't want to make myself look like a fool in front of my sisters. I saw Lexi looking at the blonde meaningfully. "Oh! Of course! Sorry Lexi! Mary. I am Marissa. I see the present. That is how I saw you getting on a plane to come here. I told my sisters. But, Lexi wanted to go on a hunt before she saw you." Marissa was talking to me like we were never separated for those years.

"That is nice to know. Thank you Marissa." I said politely.

"Anytime, Sis." Marissa said happily. So, she was my sister.

"I am Zina" A girl with a different hair color between blonde and black said. She was wearing an orange top that I didn't approve of. And, to make it all worse, SWEAT PANTS! I couldn't help what came out of my mouth next.

"We need to go shopping, Zinny." I blurted out. Everyone started laughing. If I were human, I would be Bella Red.
"We have all been trying to convince her of that. She stays in sweats ALL DAY! Doesn't it bug you?" Marissa said glaring at Zina's outfit.

"Well, yes!" I said. I couldn't help it. How could I be OK with my own BIOLOGICAL sister wearing THAT?!?! Everyone was laughing at how blunt I was. Even Zina was giggling.

I think that since I now knew that I loved my sisters even before I was with them for a full 24 hours. I could trust them. They were trustworthy. I will tell the truth. "Ok, guys, let's talk. We have to talk seriously. Let's sit down." I gestured to a white couch beside me. "Ok, what about?" asked Lexi.

"We have to talk about a lot of things. But first, who is she?" I pointed my index finger to the brunette reading in the corner. She looked up. "Oh, I am sorry. I was so lost in this book! I am Ella and I can move things with my mind." Ella said it like she had rehearsed that line over a million times. "Sounds like that line was rehearsed" Bella said. It was as if she read my mind! "Well, I will tell you that story in later days. We have SO much time for that!"She said happily. "So, why were you not listed on the internet?" I asked. "The Volturi. They want me. Bad." She said. She sounded like she was in pain. I ran and gave her a hug. It was all I knew to do. "Well, they want us all." Lexi said. "But, they want Ella the most. Her power is like none they have ever seen before. Me for the past, Marissa for the present, and Zina for her fighting ability. We are like a great powerful coven. I bet they want you and your friend too." She said. I nodded. "They do."

"Alice, we should get home. Edward just texted me that they would be home early. We should be there." Bella said. Why oh why did they have to come home early?!?! I needed time with my sisters. "Come back with us!" I squealed. "What?" Marissa asked shocked."Well, you are my sisters and I want you to meet my adopted family!" I couldn't be more excited! Jazz, Em, Carlisle, Esme, Rose, and Eddie were going to meet my sisters! I can't wait! "I am in!" Lexi said. She sounded almost as excited as me! "Me too!" Zina said. "I am going to go too!" Ella said. Wow, she warmed up to me fast. I liked her! "I am going to be so happy to get out of this house!" said Marissa. She seemed happy. I started jumping and squealing like I never have before! "Alice, calm." Bella said slowly.

I called the airport and there was a plane leaving in 10 minutes. I bought tickets for all of us to take it. Then, I grabbed the rental keys and met everyone in the car. "We are off!" I screamed. I gassed the car and hit 140 MPH. Well, I hope Eddie was ready to buy me another Christmas present!

Once we got to the airport, we went through security and barely made the flight. Once we were on the plane, I heard Lexi moaning in the seat behind me. "What?" I asked. I had gotten first class seats so the humans were not close by. "I have never gotten out of the country before, let alone on a plane. It feels good to be out of the house!" I laughed and turned back around. The sound of the pilot's voice sounded through the speakers, "Please take a seat and fasten your safety belts. We are descending into Port Angeles, Washington." I started bouncing in my seat! I am SOOOOO EXCITED!

I had to wait fifteen minutes to get off the plane though. Once it landed, we all got our stuff and were the first out of the plane! I ran at human speed to my Porsche. My fabulous yellow beauty. I put my head on the hood and smiled. Usually Rosalie was the only one really into cars, but my Porsche had the things I really loved. Memories for one. Racing to Italy with Bella and awaiting her return in the comforting smell of new leather. Second, the speed. It went faster than my last car. It only went 120 MPH! "I ran to get the driver's side door and put my key in the ignition. The beautiful purr of the engine was like being home.

"Now that Alice has said 'Hello' to her baby, let's all try to squeeze in the car!" Bella said mock excitedly. Once we were all in the car I gave Bella a smug smile. "Now how hard was that?" I asked her. I was more myself when I was closer to home, closer to Jasper. I sped down the freeway toward Forks. My true home.

I was just making the last turn to the house and then I jumped out of the car and ran toward a blonde blur. He was teasing me! I jumped after him so fast that I felt like I could fly. Jasper slowed down and I caught him in 13 mille seconds. As soon as I was close enough to him, I kissed him with such passion; the forest around us should have lit on fire by now.

"Well, I like that 'hello'. Did you?" he asked. I answered him with a peck on the lips. "Let's go home, Darlin'". He said with that cute southern accent. We ran to the house and we were there in seconds. I missed my house so much. Bella had parked my car in the garage.

Jasper and I walked inside hand in hand. Everyone was seated in the living room. Jasper sat down, so I sat on his lap. Bella was doing the same thing and Edward was whispering words to Bella that were so low I couldn't hear.

Carlisle spoke then almost directly to Rose and Em. "I understand that we have some guests for a while, so be kind, no pranks, and no, well Emmett." Then Carlisle gave Emmett a look that meant no talking about what my sisters did at night. I shuttered.

"Well, let's get to know you guys! Who wants to start?" I asked. "Ok, I will tell my story first, because it is the longest and Inter twines us all." Lexi said. Everyone nodded for Lexi to continue. "I was born in Biloxi, Mississippi in 1818. Then, was Marissa in 1820. And after her was Zina. And supposedly last was Ella. Then our parents had Mary Alice. With five children, our parents had to down grade the house. Our mom couldn't work. Alice and Zina were the shortest, and Mom and Dad's favorite. But, only because they didn't have a weird quirk, yet. I would see the past hazily but, I still could do it well. Marissa saw the present almost perfectly. She told our mom that dad was cheating on her, but that got her a slap in the face. Ella scared mom the most. She could almost move things just with her mind. She could tip over an empty glass from 3 feet away. We all loved each other so much. We never went to a real school in our life, but we never were curious about it. We had each other for company." Lexi took in a shaky breath.

"Then, Alice turned five. She had her first vision on her birthday. She looked a little shaken when I asked her what happened. Her face suddenly looked blank and she wouldn't respond to me. I got really scared. She was our smallest sister. Not just younger, but in size too. Then, Alice dragged me into the bathroom and locked the door. And whispered, 'I am going to the Insane Asylum of Biloxi. They are going to shock me and hurt me. For a long time, Ex. It is unna hurt.' Alice looked so pitiful it hurt me to watch, but I knew immediately that she had a vision. I whispered the only thing I knew to say at that moment. 'I have visions too. You know I do. But, Mama hasn't done away with me yet.' Alice looked a little more hopeful but then, she said, 'But, I see the future.' Then Alice's face looked blank and when her vision was done, she ran out the bathroom door.

Alice started to tell mom things before they would happen, and mom got scared and decided to take Alice to be tested. They tested her making sure she was really crazy. And being Alice, she told the truth. They thought her to be crazy, so our mom left her there and told us that Alice had died in a carriage accident." Lexi looked like she would be crying if it was possible. I got up and gave her a hug.

"I don't like seeing this. It is so terrible." She said. I could tell the worst part was coming.

"Please. I need to know." I whispered

She nodded. "I told Marissa to keep an eye on Alice. I wanted to know what was up with her. My visions worked on my direct family when I was human. But, I could never do anything about what my vision told me. After a few days of watching Alice in the asylum, we realized that it wasn't an asylum. It was a torture house. Then, a slaughter house. It killed me to have Marissa tell me these things because every time we would breakdown crying in each other's arms, on the floor. Our own parents never gave Alice a single visit. There was a funeral and everything to get rid of everyone's memory of our littlest sister. Even when we knew that Alice was just up the mountain- in the asylum- so that no one could hear the screams. They shocked Alice 5 times a day and 1 meal a day that was no bigger than the size of large baseball. I tried to tell Marissa not to look for Alice anymore though I wanted and needed to know what was happening to her. I didn't want Marissa to have to cry every day. I could see how deeply it cut her to look for her and see what she was going through. But, Marissa refused. She told me how when Alice really died, we would mourn then. And tell our mother the truth that we knew and we would tell her everything they were doing to Alice.

On a Friday, Alice's last Friday human, they tested a new 50 volt shock test. Marissa saw her suffering and then, her vision went black. She told me what happened and we immediately concluded that she was dead. In reality, an Asylum worker named Izzy stole Alice away from that wretched shocker and bit her to save her life and to stop a man named James from eating her. We were all mourning now. The 'loss' of our sister had us all crying for weeks. On the 2nd day, our mother came up to our room and asked us what the matter was. We told her that Alice had died. At first she looked confused, then she asked us what we meant and we told her that she was an evil rotten liar and that she left Alice in the asylum. And we told her that she killed her youngest daughter. We told her we would leave before she killed us as well. We told her all this to her face. And then, we ran away. For good.

Marissa told us that our mother thought we would come back in a few minutes. But, after a few days, she knew she was wrong and decided to have another child to take our place. She named her Cynthia and she was such a sweet girl. We decided to visit her. She told us all about her life with her mom and dad. She was such a sweet girl. She kept our secret that we had been there. Cynthia had no powers at all. It was a good thing or else she would have had the same route as our Alice.

Coming home from one of our visits, we saw the love of my life, Ronny, but, he looked much different and his eyes were a weird shade of burgundy. In all my life I had always thought his eyes were gorgeous, except that moment. His eyes disturbed me. It reminded me of blood and death. It was terrible to see. I guessed he just had contacts in or something. It was November. I whispered his name and he turned toward me with his eyes wide. He walked to me and my heart raced. Then, he kissed me with cool lips, too cold. His lips went to my neck, and then, he bit me. I was appalled. I only had time for a few seconds of shock then, the pain made me fall to the floor and I couldn't cry from the pain. I was confused and in searing pain. In three days I was fully changed and within two more I realized I was a vampire. I saw the pieces of my past that would help me. I saw a human in a dark alley way and I had to pounce. I was too thirsty to resist. I was horrified at what I had done.

I went to find my sisters after that their smell was already attuned to me. I had looked through my past and found their scent. I found them in our little shelter in the forest. I told them about what I knew about myself. It wasn't a lot at all. But, they wanted to be with me and they commanded me to bite them. So, I was too selfish to say no. I wanted my sisters. Marissa couldn't see me when I was bitten so naturally they were worried sick. When Ella was about to be fully changed, She started glaring at the rock. I could tell she was in great pain. Then, the rock shattered. I was shocked. Her power was so strong and she wasn't even all the way transformed. Then, I heard Marissa scream. But, it was the wrong kind of scream. It was joyful. In no time at all she was at my side. 'Alice is one of us.' She said. 'But, she keeps fading in and out of my sight! I can't grasp where in the world she is!' Ella, Marissa, Zina and I were so happy! Our little sister was alive! But, we had no way of getting to her.

Then, the Volturi came to visit us. Ronny was at their side. I ran to him. I whispered that I loved him in his ear. And then he kissed me. 'Children' Aro spoke 'what a great coincidence that our Ronny here has connections to those we want in our family.' I didn't like Aro's sickly sweet voice. It made me distrust him. 'We have come to ask you into our family. I am guessing you have great powers.' He said. I answered in a polite voice not wanting to be rude 'Not great powers. Just normal ones. We are happy in our own family thank you for your offer though. We are actually biological sisters.' I said. Then Aro did the most horrifying thing I have ever seen in my many years." Lexi sounded as if she were choking.

She started to dry sob so hard it shook through her body. I ran to her and gave her a hug and told her she could stop. Lexi nodded. I took her upstairs to the spare room on the fourth floor. You can stay up here. I told her. She was in terrible shape. I had to know what Aro did to break Lexi's heart so terribly.
