APOV
I took it to the register and, grinning ear to ear, paid the $500 needed for this baby. I was just walking into Hot Topic when I saw the pixie girl again. There was no doubt about it, she was connected with my sister in some way. I could feel it. If not now, then sometime in the near future. I grinned suddenly as I picked up a fan T-shirt with the word 'Twilight' in bold blueish tinted letters on the front. Hm, sounds familiar, I thought with ironic humor evident on my face. I turned and saw the pixie looking at my expression with confusion, before noticing our similarities in appearance. She was wearing the same outfit as me except in a different color. Baby blue. Hm, interesting. I stuck that note in the back of my brain before facing this new test.
"Hi, my name is Arisa Hatakeyama," I said, mentally grinning as she took in my Japanese name. I supposed it was a bit much. "You have an amazing taste in clothes." I blushed a deep red at the similarities in our appearance. She made it look better.
"Hello. I was just admiring your outfit choice as well. You are very beautiful and that dress flatters your figure." She said with a wide smile on her face, as if there was an irony I was missing."Are you new around here?" She asked suddenly.
"Actually I am. I am actually just buying some new clothes. I have barely any clothing as I just moved in and well, my old closet could hold barely anything." I smiled softly and she grinned."Actually, I'm afraid I didn't catch your name. What was that?"
"Alice. Alice Cullen." She seemed about to say more but my sight blurred as a vision came to me and I fell backwards. I whispered one more thing before the vision blanked out everything.
"Cullen."
**Vision**
I was vaguely aware of movement and then nothing.
I am standing by my car, middle of semester, when I hear a loud red truck chug my way. In the drivers seat, a shy female face, hidden behind familiar dark brown hair. Wide, adultlike eyes. High cheekbones. Pale, ivory skin, the only difference. She was beautiful, and almost exactly like me. Her lips were off balance though, the top fuller to match the bottom. She wore a thick sweater to ward off the cold, but her hood hid little. I knew this face, as I saw it in the mirror everyday. But my skin was a milk chocolate color, my lips full and balanced. She stood, I was sure of,
a full 5'4 when standing, my same height. She, I knew from the face, was my long lost sister, Isabella Swan.
**End vision**
**Vision**
I am standing by my car and I hear a screeching sound to my right. A blue van skids on the ice and I see where it will land. Right where Bella is standing, the corner end of her truck. The van skids closer, closer still and I scream out in fear, as does a male voice. Bella looks up just as the van comes toward her.
I lurch forward, to try to save her, but I am too far. I hear the crunch of metal, the popping of glass, and then the vision ends.
**End Vision**
"NO!" I scream as the vision ends and I gasp in pain. Not physical, but mental. As if someone where trying to pry past my skull, into my innermost secrets. I scream again in pain as my mind blazes in pain. My heart is heavy as I wish that it were me at the truck bed, not my dear sister.
I look around me for the first time and gasp as I see white walls. Books fill the shelves all around me and I sit on a hospital type bed. I gasp again as I see seven faces. Not just seven faces, but seven inhumanly beautiful faces. My mind is trying to comprehend what this means when Alice comes forward to explain.
"You blacked out. I took you here because Carlisle, my father, is a doctor. You started screaming so we took you to his study. We've been trying to help." She said, tears in her eyes. I could see she was trying hard not to cry so I calmed her.
"It is okay. I just got dehydrated. It happens sometimes. I black out and sometimes have dreams. I've been to a doctor about it but all she can do is have me drink more water. I'm sorry for scaring you. I thank you from the bottom of my heart." I said smiling a little to appease them. I felt a little bit of guilt at having to lie to them, as they all seemed very nice and just trying to help but I needed them to leave me alone. They would think I'm crazy if I told them the real reason I 'blacked out'. "Where am I?" I asked, worried for the first time, though i knew it was irrational. Alice would never hurt me, I was sure of that.
"Oh, we took you to our house. I'm sorry, let me introduce everyone. This is Carlisle, Esme, Rosalie, Emmett, Edward, and finally my Jasper." She said, pointing to them in turn. Everyone's expressions ranged from worry to outrage. Rosalie's was just plain bored. I smiled slightly at the humor and suggested I leave.
"Well your bags are downstairs and I had Rosalie drive your car here so when you woke up you would be able to get home. If you need help, I can show you the way." Alice offered but I declined. I knew where I was. They were my neighbors, in a sense.
"I better be going. Alicia and Johnathon would be worried if I don't call them soon. Thank you for everything." I said as I walked downstairs to the front door, where my bags waited for me. I picked them up, noting that they were very heavy, and walked to my car. They all seemed very nice, I decided. I might have some friends here.
I grinned at that thought and drove away.
I returned home and parked in the garage. Grabbing my bags, I walked through the living room, into the bedroom. Opening the closet, I noted it was at least half full. Well, I thought, now it can be three fourths filled. I am so weird. Rolling my eyes, I organized my closet and changed into a pair of jeans and a white tanktop. Putting on my favorite boots, I went outside to train.
