Chapter Two

Alice's POV

Moving day…again

I'm still not sure if that's a positive or a negative. Whatever. I'm just really glad I'm not Edward right now. Poor Edward; his poor head is probably bursting with thoughts. I can't read minds, but I'm good at reading faces.

Carlisle is, like, thinking about all doctor-y stuff-usual.

Esme is thinking of the positives.

Jasper's like 'oh God!'

Emmett is…chuckling in is mind

Rosalie is thinking 'why do we have to move again!? Do I like Forks? Yes. Can we stay here any longer? No. Why, when I finally find some place I like, do we have to move again!? Why can't we be like a normal family…oh yeah, 'cause we're not normal!!'…Poor Rose.

Edward, of course is about to slam his head into a wall. When he does this I will watch, point my finger and laugh! Ha!

I love my family.

So back to today being moving day…yeah we're kinda out of places to go…For a while, we've taken turns choosing spots around the country to live for a while and now it's my turn! Yay! So for a while I've been running places through my head. First, I was thinkin' Colorado, but it's cold a lot there, and I'm sick of being cold and wet...yeah, story of my life but what's a girl to do? Then I was like, 'let's go to LA' but then I remembered it's sunny there all the time…darn. Alaska's out; I'm sick of it! That's were the guys always pick! So I looked into the future a bit-don't tell Emmett that that scratch card he bought isn't a winner-and saw us in some state with weather. I was thinkin' Ohio. That's where our other sister Rachel has been going to school, and that's okay with us…she's half human, but not in the way you might think. She can act totally like a normal vampire and she's venomous and everything accept sometimes she falls asleep. Her genetic makeup is like her dad's, and her looks physically are like her mom's.

Here's the story. When Rachel was younger she was all human-or so it seemed-but little by little she developed vampire powers. Now she has all the genetic makeup of one of us. We took her in because her mom died having her like most half-human-half-vampire stories, and her dad wants nothing to do with her. Life is very important to her…she wants to make something of herself like a normal human would. I keep telling her she doesn't really need a job and everything, but she has her heart set on making her mark on the world.

I turned around and saw Edward banging his head on the wall.

"Ha!" I laughed, pointing my finger.

"Oh shut up, Alice!" he yelled. I was still laughing in my mind just to annoy him. Edward made an "Ugh!" sound, half yelling half screaming to himself. Emmett started laughing and Rosalie actually giggled. Whenever Rose show's signs of happiness it makes my day…it feels like I'm finally getting though to her! She needs to be more up-beat…I made her triple-swear that she'd actually do something at our next school, so I might try something too, join a club or something.

We started helping each other carry different things into our cars, and about a half hour later we all zipped away for Lima, Ohio.
