Alice's Pov

I was dreaming. I must be dreaming. If I wasn't dreaming then why was I in an old-fashioned ballroom? To be exact, the old Riordan ballroom, where me, Bella and Rose used to play in when we were younger and still lived in Forks. There were people in old period clothing that matched the ballroom perfectly, and were also dancing the waltz. I looked down and saw that my dress also was fitting with everyone else's. Then I felt a soft tapping on my right shoulder. I turned around to see Jasper smiling at me. I immediately returned the smile. I noticed that he too was in old period clothing like everyone else.

"You've kept me waiting a long time," I said. I didn't know what mage me say this but for some reason I was glad I did.

"And he ducked his head, like a good Southern gentleman, and said, 'I'm sorry, ma'am." I felt a rush of pure happiness when he said that. Like how I felt when I read one of my favourite quotes from one of my favourite books.

"Would you like to dance with me Miss Brandon?" I didn't know why he was using my last name. At school we used Esme's last name so we wouldn't be discovered. I nodded my head and we started to dance.

The next thing I know, I am running through a forest with an angry mob behind me shouting "Witch! Monster lover!"

I looked down again and saw that I was wearing a long white nightie. I didn't know why I was running only knowing that I had too. I saw a castle up ahead and I felt hope in my fear-ridden body. I started to run faster then ever before until I got to the front door of the castle. I desperately started banging my fists against the door, wishing, hoping that someone would open it. And someone did. It was Edward!

"Is Bella with you?" Edward asked, showing his worried face.

"I'm sorry, I was the only one that made it out alive" I was shocked by my own words. Bella was dead? And Rosalie and Esme too?

"ALICE!" Jasper's voice drew me out of my thoughts. Suddenly I felt a stab of pain in my chest area. I looked down to find that I had been shot by an arrow. Whoever had shot the arrow had very good aim because they had pierced my heart exactly through the middle of my chest.

"ALICE!" Jasper shouted again. He rushed to my side at a speed only a vampire could do. As I was starting to lose strength in my legs and my knees buckled, I felt Jasper's arms around me, cradling me. He started to beg to me not to leave him. That he needed me. I heard a whoosh and looked up to see Carlisle and Emmett had joined us. Edward whispered something to them and their faces turned into such sad faces, like their hearts had been brutally ripped out of their chests. I guessed Edward had told them about Rosalie and Esme. There were screams in the air and a black-hooded army came out of the forest.

The army looked fearsome and I just knew that they were vampires too. Three people stood out from the rest, three males. One had long blonde hair and the other two had dark brown hair. They looked like the leaders of the black-hooded army and indeed they were.

"Aro, Caius. Marcus, what can we do for you?" Carlisle said with a voice only a man that had lost his true love could pull off.

"We came as quickly as we could, when we heard about the attack. We tried to save your loved ones but we could not." The guy who I assumed was Aro said, looking at me the entire time. "But I do have another alternative for you but it must be done before the last loved one has gone" as he was speaking the darkness came cold but inviting at the same time. My eyelids got heavier by the second and I could barely keep them halfway.

"I have a vampire with an extra ordinary gift. The gift of reincarnation. This particular vampire can make your loved ones live again in a different time many years ahead of us now. But to make it work you would have to be killed as well so you too can come back. You would be turned into vampires again and be together, so you will be back about a hundred years before them. You would also forget about your first life here unless you come in contact with something that has witness the terrible events that has occurred here. So what do you say? Live with your pain or have the chance to bring them back? I need to know now."

Without a moment's hesitation and in perfect unison all the Cullen men answered "Yes."

And as they answered Aro's offer, I had lost the fight to keep my eyes open and the darkness once again crept in. but before I went, before I reached out for the light I could barely see. I heard someone chanting words.

"The vampire four that have lost their hearts to the human four that have lives, shall die tonight but live again as shall the human girls. At least a hundred years will separate the loved ones until they will meet again. All memory of this life will be forgotten unless they come in contact with the objects that hold the memory of these tragic romances." As the person, who I assumed was a girl stopped chanting, the light consumed me.

I woke up panting for breathe and sweat on my head and also my mother's brush in my hand. I distantly remember picking up the brush from my desk and bring it to bed with me. The dream had frightened me and under most circumstances I would dismiss this dream as nothing more than having too much to eat, but some part of me felt that the dream was real. After all, my mother's brush was an old family heirloom, passed down the female side of my family, who were once related to the Brandon family in olden times. The first owner was a young girl about my age with my name as well. I was named after her and she did prefer to be called Alice instead of Mary as well. As the puzzle quickly came together in my head, things started to add up. It brought the reason why Esme took a job as a tour guide of the old Riordan mansion, before the death of me, Rose's and Bella's families. Why us four always seemed more at home there then at our own homes. How we knew every nook and cranny of that place without ever looking at a map. And also how our favourite place in that whole mansion, probably the whole world, was the ballroom where we would dance the waltz perfectly like we had been doing it for years. I knew all of this and I also knew that Jasper knew this as well. I looked at my clock and it said it was five to seven. I then decided to play it sick and text Jasper to bunk off school as well and come over to my house. Cause we needed to talk. Badly.

I'm sorry guys for taking so long but here is a list of real honest to god excuses that have pulled me away from my fanfiction duties.

I got braces! And at first they were constantly in my mind.

During March – April time, my supposedly best friend decided to finish our 10 years of friendship and called me a hassle in her life. I then deleted her from my Bebo/Facebook/MSN etc. And now she had sent me a friend request on facebook and I don't know what to do! Any suggestions?

During April – May time, I was making sure that I had brought everything for my school's trip to Italy! Those made me go out of the country with no wi-fi for a whole entire week!

I then had to make sure that I had everything for my family holiday to France that yet brought me out the country for another week. I have just got back yesterday.

Also my old hard-drive has decided to not work on me and that hard-drive has all my chapters in it and I have to work on a whole new one that won't let me download itunes!

But now it is the summer holidays and I won't have any excuse not to update! So please review and tell me what you think.

Bye

P.S Hey guys once again I have to ask you guys if you know this story 'cause I really want to read it again, so here is what it is about -It is about the Cullen's old school before they moved to Forks. It was the story on why they moved in the first place. It involved them wearing dress-up because it was Halloween there or something. Alice was dressed up as a fortune teller, Edward was a vampire and Jasper was a soldier. So if anyone knows this story could you please tell me what it is called 'because I really want to know? Okay? Thanks to wcsppmh-me for the suggesting but the story I'm looking for didn't have Bella in it and Emmett was in a bear costume and Jasper's soldier was a Union one and he didn't like it.
