A/N: Hello! Premise: Twilight, but Bella is the seer and Alice is the shield. What's it like for Edward when his singer can see him coming? What's it like for Bella when the vampire can read her mind? This concept just came to me on a busy work day, and I had to get it down. I hope you like it!

Premonition:
Preface
Choosing Forks, Washington was both an inevitably horrible decision and a horribly inevitable decision. I knew it in every cell of my body. It was a decision that I'd been sinking into like quicksand - stuck long before I ever noticed the ground gone beneath me. Maybe it was a decision made before I was even born, handed to me like the parents I was born to, the brown hair I grew into, the quirks I was made into.
Maybe I was always doomed to come back.
Still, despite the inevitability of my move, I couldn't bring myself to like it. Every thought of starting over there filled me with heebie jeebies, as if I was standing in the cold spot of someone's grave. So I did my best to avoid thoughts of Forks, staving off the sense of foreboding by keeping busy - in Phoenix, staying up late gossiping with Renee, and, in Forks, stuffing my face with pizza and watching baseball with Charlie.
(I liked his reactions to my guesses more than I liked the sport itself.)
On the night before my first day at Forks High, Charlie's overstated reactions to my surprising hit rate kept me amused and kept my mind busy. I fell asleep that night with a smile on my face.
It was a (fairly) ordinary night up until I fell asleep.
. . .
I shot out of bed, drenched in a cold sweat that stung. Shivering madly, I slid out of bed. Not again, I thought, my knees slamming on the floor. Mumbling to myself, I slid to the lamp by the door, waving my hand around until I found the switch. Pale bodies floated in the air around me, burned into the back of my eyes. I fumbled with sweaty fingers until - click - the room filled with light.
I fell back - a deep release as my breath (which I didn't know I'd been holding) whooshed out of my lungs. The relief was immediate, but incomplete - I still saw the slumped figures every time I blinked.
What was that?
I've had nightmares before, plenty of them, but they've never been this bad… I think. Well, truthfully, I never really remember my dreams, but I really don't think I've ever had one this… jarring.
I don't usually remember my dreams, but I do get déjà vu quite often. And by quite often, I mean several times a day. And while I can't say for sure, I often get the feeling that the déjà vus I'm experiencing I have experienced before - not in a previous life, but in the previous night.
In my dream.
Every time I've awoken with a jolt, I didn't just wake up on the wrong side of the bed. I would wake up on the wrong side of fate. Bad dreams really did mean a bad day for me.
But what was really so bad about my dream? Already it was slipping from me like a sieve. Soon, I wouldn't be able to remember at all… The thoughts weaved out of me and I lost consciousness once again.
. . .
A/N: This is just the beginning! Remember she has Alice's powers, but she's still human, so it's fuzzier... which is more fun. ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°) This is also an thought exercise of "how much does Bella's personality change by having this power?" and "how does Edward respond to a different Bella?"
Next chapter is First Sight!
Please remember to read and review; it means the world to me. I'd love to hear your thoughts on this chapter, and on what comes next!
