Alice's Pov

"No point. You cheated, stupid vampire." Josh glared at Emmett as he pumped his arms over his head celebrating his goal. They were playing a "very serious" pseudo water polo with a beach ball and no goals. They would have been playing with a real ball and goals but Jasper had popped the last real ball earlier in the morning after a heated game with Edward. "No human can jump the high" Josh rolled his eyes as he climbed out of the pool to get the errant ball.

Bella and Josh had a half day at school because of parent teacher conferences and since it was a beautiful sunny day we were "forced" to miss school. It was already two months into the new school year but we were having a gorgeous Indian summer so we had decided to keep the pool open much longer than we had planned. The pool was something Esme had insisted on in the new home because Bella really loved swimming. We had only been in Syracuse for since the beginning of July but for all of us it already felt like home.

So far Syracuse had been great, Carlisle was really enjoying his new job and the high school wasn't terrible. There was a strange increase in crime downtown as of recently though. Carlisle had his theories about what was going on because there had also been increase in wild animal attacks in suburban areas. He was very sure that a coven of our kind was responsible. I attempted to watch the attackers closely but their actions had proven to be wild and indecisive. He wondered if it was possible that they were newborns as their actions seemed only based on instinct.

Josh and Bella loved their new school and new friends. Both also adored their new teacher who taught third and fourth grade classes. Right about now she was explaining to Carlisle and Esme that she thought Josh would be better served by being moved ahead to the fourth grade class. After spending a lot of time with Josh she decided he was ahead of his classmates in overall comprehension and is sort of wasting his mind by not being challenged. Esme would be nervous at first about not having the twins in the same class but she would make her mind up quickly that it would be good for Josh to be moved ahead.

Most teachers would have seen Josh's behavior in class as either acting out of having one of those newly popular learn disability but Josh had perfect grades; his main problem was that he suffered from boredom whenever he finished his class work long before everyone else. His teacher, Ms. Gunning had given him extra math and science activities as somewhat of a punishment for distracting his classmates, he ended up being able to do the problems zero difficulty so she started giving him tougher material.

"Okay, I got it." Josh called out loudly as he leaped into the pool holding the beach ball. A smile crossed Emmett's face as an idea filled his head. I watched in my mind as I saw him and Josh trying to whisper to each other while I watched Bella and Jasper have a "race" down and back the length of the pool. Jasper would be going much slower than he could really go and Bella knew this but she still liked beating her big brother in a race. Josh then gave a toothy grin; it was look that usually resulted in Emmett being grounded and Josh receiving some sort of timeout as punishment for their prank.

A few hours advanced in my vision and I saw Rosalie shouting at Emmett because of her damp blouse. Josh and Emmett had wrapped a piece of scotch tape around the spray nozzle attached to the kitchen sink. Edward's soft chuckle pulled me from my vision. He rolled his eyes and smiled, for Edward as long as he or Bella were not the subject of their hijinks he wouldn't forewarn anyone.

"Come on Jasper five minutes was up a few minutes ago, you promised" Bella splashed water at up my husband and me. A little over a year ago we had told them that we were vampires. Bella had no real opinion on the matter, for her it wasn't an issue; Josh flat out thought it was awesome. He loved seeing all of us do things at vampire speed; Edward said he sees all of us sort of as superheroes. His only complaints occurred when one of us would cheat or use our gifts to prevent him from doing things potentially hazardous to his health.

"Alright munchkin" Jasper smiled and got up from his lounge position next to me. He slipped into the pool the sun glimmering gorgeously as stood up shaking his hair like a dog.

"Jasper!" Bella shrieked as she got a face full of water.

"Bella!" He mock shrieked and lifted her up before he fell backwards into the water pulling her under with him. I was so impressed how well Jasper has managed to control himself; a decade ago I never could have imagined him being so close and affectionate with two humans. He was extremely protective of both Josh and Bella. Just a week ago I had to talk him down from scaring a third grade boy to death who liked to pull Bella's pigtails. After getting close to the obnoxious child he realized the poor kid just had a crush on her.

"Stop it!" she giggled as she pulled away from Jasper's hands.

"Emmett, stop cheating!" Josh let out an exaggerated groan. I watched as the beach ball bounced off of the bluestone tiles surrounding the pool. It bounced over the small chain link fence and landed a few feet into the woods that surrounded our home. It was obvious that Emmett had tossed the ball much harder than what Josh thought was fair. I smiled as Josh gave a frustrated roll of his eyes as climbed out of the pool walking towards the gate in the fence.

My vision faded from reality into the future as I stared at the crystal clear water. Josh was picking up the stray ball from the next to a large tree. I watched as three vampires with blood red eyes lurking in the shadows that the forest provided. By the expression on their faces they were surprised to see Josh, having only smelled us they were curious our family. I can't believe I could have missed this. I closed my eyes as an attempt to block out the images that followed.

"Joshua stop!" I was pulled out of my vision as Edward let out an angry growl and climbed from the water.

I tried to look again into Joshua's future to see what I had missed but I could see nothing.
