Flashback: Nine years ago.
"Cullen, what are your plans for the summer?" asks my best friend, Jasper.
"Yeah Edward", pipes in his girlfriend Alice. "What are your plans?"
Jasper Whitlock and I have been friends since we were ten years old when the Whitlocks moved from Texas to Forks.
We met Alice on freshman orientation when we arrived at University of Washington. The next day Alice asked Jazz out and they've been together since then.
"I'm going back home", I say. "Aren't you guys coming too? I thought Jazz planned to introduce his girl to his folks."
Alice smiles. "We're heading to meet my Mom and Dad first."
I'm about to say something when my phone starts to ring.
"Aren't you gonna ask that?" says Jazz.
I don't reply. I hit the green answer button without looking. "Edward Cullen here."
"Edward", screams my nine year old sister over the phone.
"Hi Rosie. What's going on?" I say. "Missing your big brother?"
"M…Mommy and Daddy are… are… hurt", she says between sobs.
Blood drains out of my face. "What happened?" I demand.
"I was at Lauren's house and we were working on our science project. After we were done, Mrs. Newton dropped me back home and… when I got inside... I found them lying in the kitchen. On the floor. Covered in blood."
"Where are you right now?"
"In the h-h-hospital. Tanya's in Seattle", she cries. "I'm so scared Edward. Please come home."
"Who's with you?"
"N-no one", she hiccups.
"I'm coming. I'll get there before you know it. Be brave Rosalie." I end the call and turn to face Alice and Jasper's worried faces.
Oh God.
Make sure that everything will be fine.
What do you think happened to Edward and Rosalie's parents? Any theories?
