A few weeks later, I was getting ready for Prom. Uncle Charlie had come to terms with my power and I apologized for snapping at him so we were back on good terms. He was waiting with Alice for me to come down.

I walked down the stairs slowly like in the movies. It was my first prom and I wanted it to be special. Uncle Charlie wanted to take pictures and I was okay with that because was also something that seemed to happen on the TV.

"This kind of makes me wish that Bella was with me." He mused. "She would be going to prom around this time."

"Maybe you could have her visit for a few days some time?" Alice suggested.

"I'll see but she really likes Florida." He said. I would have to look at a map some time to find out where Florida was.

Prom was a lot of fun. There was some fast dancing, followed by some slow dancing. We were under this thing with a roof that was outside but not completely sealed. Alice and I were dancing slowly. It was the perfect moment. Or so I thought. Something unexpected was just about to happen.

"So I didn't get to tell you but the other day, I put my name into a historical archive and I was able to locate my death certificate." Alice remarked.

"That must have been strange." I commented. "You were looking at, knowing it was wrong. So what are did you find?'"

"I was born August 16, 1901." She responded. "I apparently died on March 4 1920. No cause of death was listed. However from doing a little more research, I found out that was the same day I was admitted into the asylum,"

"So you died you were turned into a vampire on your first day there?" I asked.

"No I don't think so." Alice replied. "The nurse made it sound like I had been there for a little while. I think it was my parents wanted people to think I was dead rather than crazy. I also found out that I had a sister named Cynthia. Her lineage seemed to die out mostly. My last known relative was a woman named Meredith Gordon. But both she and her newborn baby died in a fire 16 years ago."

I think I had read something about that in the company files. Why it was there, I didn't know.

We danced for a few more minutes before my stomach started to feel weird. I felt like I was going to puke. I broke off from Alice and started to run towards the bathroom.

Alice had followed me and found me leaning over the toilet, emptying my stomach out.

Once I was done with hurling, I was seated in the front seat of Alice's car, which she bought after mine was destroyed, with a bag in my lap in case I felt more nausea. She was driving slower than normal because she thought it would be easier on my stomach. Alice was taking me to the hospital to see Carlisle.

She went in the backdoor because she happened to have a key. She found me a room and called Carlisle to let him know that I needed his help. He was in the room within a few minutes.

"Well I just spent the last 15 minutes leaned over a toilet." I answered.

"I see. Did you happen to eat anything strange-tasting within the past few days?" He questioned.

"Not that I know of." I replied

"Did you consume any punch at the dance?" He asked.

"No I didn't drink anything." I said. I couldn't help but wonder why he was asking me all of these questions.

"Are you in any sort of pain right now?" He questioned.

"No, look I just started puking." I responded in frustration.

"I'll need to take some blood." He stated. "It sounds like you may have contracted a virus."

So he stuck a needle inside of me. Alice made sure to hold my hand so I didn't shock anyone. I didn't even though that needle really hurt.

"So I need to go run a few tests." Carlisle said. "You and Alice should wait here. If you feel sick, there's a toilet to your left."

Carlisle then walked out of the room. I turned to talk to Alice.

"So do you have any idea what I have?" I asked her.

"I can only see decisions. I'm not able to see what the test will reveal." Alice explained. That wasn't that helpful.

"So now I know about your beginning why don't you tell me some more about how got out of the asylum to here right now." I suggested while we waited for Carlisle to return. "Tell me your life story."

"Well I wasn't in the asylum when my transformation was completed. I must have been released. I was actually in a grave. I wouldn't be surprised if she got me out by claiming I was dead." Alice explained. "So I was in this field, it seemed abandoned. I didn't know what was going on or who I was. All I knew was that I had this burning sensation in my throat. A park ranger came up to me and sucked him dry. I tried to find out who I was but I had was a bracelet that said Alice. I was still in my hospital gown. I knew I would need some clothes so everyone wouldn't think that I was an escaped mental patient. I walked into town and found a streetwalker and killed her and stole her clothes."

"Wait." I interrupted. "What's a streetwalker?"

"A whore." She said as I stared at her. "A prostitute? A harlot? Someone who has sex with people for money."

I couldn't think why anyone would want to do that. Money can't buy you love.

"Anyway, I used the disguise to lure some men in to satisfy my hunger. After I killed a cop, I left town, stopping to feed a little. I hardly stayed in one place for the first year. Once I was past the newborn stage, I found out that I could be around people longer without having to kill them, It was the 20s prohibition was in. I needed proof of identity for most places so I got a job at a speakeasy." She continued.

I had learned about those in history. They were these bars in the 20s when it was illegal to drink. I still don't understand why anyone thought it was a big deal.

"It was around that time that I discovered that I couldn't eat or drink. I experienced something similar to what you are now. I bounced around from place to place for years. I eventually came to the conclusion that I should educate myself. I found a boarding school that wasn't very strict. I was allowed to do anything that I wanted on the weekend as long as I was back by curfew. That gave me time to feed. When I first started, I went out into town and killed someone. Word of that got around the school, so I made sure that in the future to go farther away. With how fast I could run, it wasn't an issue. I went to a few different schools during the 40s, all using different names. I forged quite a few birth certificates and some other documents."

"So you could still see the future during the time?" I asked.

"Yes but it was very useful." Alice responded "The only useful vision was of the US winning World War II. So in the 50s, I began to show interest in fashion. I wish I could show you some pictures of me wearing a poodle skirt. I did some modeling for a few years but I didn't want people to realize that I wasn't getting older. In 1960, I was working in a diner as a waitress when Jasper had walked in. We quickly became friends. I think we both knew that we would never be more. I told him about my visions of Naomi and he was excited for when he would finally meet her. We met the Cullens in 1961. Over my many years in school I've done just about every extracurricular activity imaginable. I do have a picture of me as a cheerleader from the 80s."

"Sounds like quite a life/" I commented. I actually did want to see what Alice looked like as a member of the pep squad.. Knowing her she probably looked really sexy.

As Alice was finishing up, Carlisle walked into the room.

"So what's my problem, Doc?" I asked.

"Well the good news is that it's not a virus." He answered.

"Then what is it?" I asked.

"It appears to be morning sickness." He replied. But it was nighttime. "You seem to be pregnant."

"How can I be pregnant?" I asked in complete and total shock.

"Are you speaking rhetorically or literally?" He asked.

"I've seen enough shows to know what being pregnant means." I snapped. "I just don' understand how I….Gabriel."

"Are you gonna tell him?" Alice asked.

"No it's none of his business." I responded. "I'm with you and not him. So I guess I'm gonna have a baby."

End of Book 1.

So Elle being pregnant kind of brings the story full circle. It shouldn't come as a surprise. I can tell you Gabriel won't be appearing later in the story. I can also telll you that Cullens won't be leaving Forks but that doesn't mean everything will be hunkydorry for Elle and Alice. Please don't forget to review.
