The Horror Begins

"It's sunny today but it looks like it will get cloudy later on" Carlisle remarked as he stared out the back window of his house. "Oh and I put in an order for a piano."

"Good. It helped me learn to control my gift by teaching me how to focus."

"I can only imagine how hard that must have been. Both a newborn and a telepath."

"I'm lucky I have you. Alice only had her visions. Without them she would have been - will have been I suppose you could say- a total savage."

"Poor thing" he said in sympathy.

I turned to him and nodded from where I was reading the paper. An ad caught my eye 'It's never too early to get presents!' it said with a picture of some toys and an address to a toy store.

I wonder… if I get back could I take things with me? It hit me then. If I were to go back then who's to say I couldn't bring a few things with me somehow. Perfect! Shopping will distract me! I then winced as I realized how 'Alice' that thought was.

"Something wrong?" Carlisle asked having noticed the wince.

"I miss them." I said hand he nodded sympathetically. "I got an idea though… if I were to somehow get back whose to say I couldn't bring some things right? I was thinking I could get them some presents from this past!"

He looked speculative "I don't know if it'll work but I suppose it's worth a shot." He glanced out the window again and sighed.

While I waited to go out I pondered over what to get. "Carlisle I have an idea of some things they might want but I need some-"

"They may be family from another timeline but my money is still theirs" he interrupted.

I nodded again with a sigh. "I hate this part the most."

"The waiting?" he asked amused and I nodded.

"I've had so long to get used to it but I just…" I threw up my arms then dropped them in frustration. "I never thought I'd miss school so much!"

"You go to school?" he asked puzzled.

"Over and over. It helps to get us to blend in. Age-wise physically they are all old enough to be graduated unlike me but Alice stays a grade behind them for me. Plus she is tiny so she can get away with it easily."

"Tiny?"

"Four feet ten inches tall. It is really funny to see her next to her husband, Jasper who is one inch taller than my 6'2"."

"I can imagine" he said with wide eyes. He peered harder at me "something else is bothering you isn't it?"

"I hate it! I have to remember this time!" I blurted. "I'm afraid I might not be able to handle going outside if there gets to be too much blood. I mean hundreds of thousands die!"

"So many lives. Is there no hope?" he asked desolately, already knowing the answer.

"I'm afraid not."

We both sat in silence for a long while I could hear his thoughts of fear echoing mine. He looked out the window again and said "It's cloudy now. You have to get your clothes right?"

"Right" I replied and left the house. I went to the tailors trying to ignore the occasionally cough people had that seemed to increase my worries more each time. When I got to the tailors I entered and went to the counter.

The shopkeeper greeted me. "There you are! Here are your clothes young man. That will be 23 dollars!"

It was a lot of money for this time but I wasn't in the mood to argue. I paid and took the clothes. As I walked outside I noticed the clouds weren't holding as long as we thought they would. "I hope I'll get back" I said to myself.

I was keeping to the shadows but I would need to get back soon or find shelter just then I heard my human mother's voice say "Marty! Oh dear it's going to be sunny soon isn't it? Here come with me I was just about to head to our house with the groceries." I noticed she had a basket of food on her arm. "Come with me dear."

"Thank you Mrs. Masen" I said.

"It's no problem dear." As we headed to my old house we passed a hospital and I stared in horror at the amount of Influenza cases being brought in. I saw a child who couldn't have been more than five look at me and cough blood. I felt my eyes prick as if I could cry. "Poor thing" my mother murmured then passed by sadly. I could tell in her mind she knew there was nothing she could do. She debated volunteering at the hospital though. My stomach clenched at the thought.

Already the horror had begun.

GOOD NEWS!

Due to the popularity of this story I decided to reward you all with an extra (not a teaser but something extra that won't be in the story)! It is Edward Masen (the human)'s first impressions of Marty (A.K.A. Edward Cullen the vampire). It is on my Blogger page but if you don't visit that have no fear since I will give it as a reward to registered reviewers! (I can't respond to anonymous reviews sadly so I have no way of getting it to you since it won't be in the story. Sorry about that).
