I know I sometimes get a little crazy with the amount of action or surprises in my stories. So if you don't like it, or think they aren't realistic, please let me know. I try to tone my stories down. Like I didn't want Mary to be too powerful. There are some things she just can't see or catch in time. Even in the mythological world, no one is perfect. Please let me know how I'm doing. I'm trying to keep up with this story and at least complete it. I probably have about 20 other stories that I have started and that are at a stand still. Well, enough about me.....on with the story.
Chapter 12
Images passed through their mind,
Alice as a little girl playing with a baby that looked remarkably like her.
Alice being baptized.
Alice having an exorcist done on her, cause her parents thought she was possessed.
Alice locked in the basement.
Alice in a straight jacket being led away.
Alice having shock therapy.
Alice being taken away from the Asylum but a beautiful pale man with red eyes.
Alice being bitten by the same pale man.
Mary being baptized.
Mary being beaten by her father for being evil.
Mary being locked in her room for telling her father the future.
Mary being made fun of at school.
Mary finding the box from her mother.
Mary showing up on the Blacks porch.
Finally the vision of death and destruction that Mary had before she came here.
The girls gasped and released each others hands. They looked up to see a circle of people surrounding them and then noticed that they were on the ground.
"What happened?" Alice asked.
"You shook hands and a minute later you collapsed on the ground. If Mary wasn't breathing and we couldn't hear her heartbeat we would have though you guys were dead." Edward said.
"Do you know what happened?" Carlisle asked. Ever the doctor, Mary thought.
Edward was looking at them amazed at what he saw.
"Our lives." Alice said. Then she turned to Mary. "Did you know you could do that?"
Mary shook her head, "No, I thought you did it."
They both widened their eyes as realization set in.
"Amazing." Edward whispered, then started talking in rapid speed to the rest of his family.
"Would someone tell me what the HELL is going on?" Bella yelled.
"We're related." Alice said in wonder. "I thought I only had a great great niece, I didn't know about a nephew or that my niece was his daughter."
Mary stared at Alice. Now she knew why she looked so familiar. Alice looked exactly like her father if she wasn't a vampire, she would probably have the same ice blue eyes. Mary was in awe. She had always wanted to meet the only other psychic family member, and now she did. It was amazing!
"Yes, it is." Edward said, still looking like Christmas came early.
"What?" asked Mary. Was he reading her mind?
"Yes, I am." He said.
Mary narrowed her eyes at him but shrugged. She didn't have anything to hide.
"That's the first reaction like that, that I got. Usually people panic, and wonder if they said anything incriminating." Edward told her.
"Well, there is reason to get all crazy about something that may or may not have happened." Mary said plainly.
"Wait, so both of y'all have visions? We have two future seers?" Emmett asked.
They all looked at Alice and Mary for an explanation. Mary sighed.
"I see the past, present, and future, but I have to touch something that the person touched. Though for some reason I can't see Alice."
"Maybe, it's because your both psychic?" Carlisle wondered aloud.
"Maybe. But, I normally can't see Mary cause she is always with the wolves."
Mary cocked her head, "You can't see the wolves?"
"No, Carlisle guesses it's because their futures are so ruled by their instincts."
"Can you see the rest of the Cullens?" Bella asked.
Mary nodded. "Yes, but the rest of you guys are all fuzzy. Like your not to sure of your own future. Alice, all I see is black with you."
"I always said they rely too much on my visions." Alice mumbled
"That's it!" Mary exclaimed.
They all looked at her, so she sighed and explained her though process.
"You all rely on Alice. Though you do make decisions on your won. You always change you mind based on what Alice says. Alice rely's solely on her visions. Her future is ruled by her decisions which is why I can't see her."
"It makes sense in a weird way. Can you see the wolves?" Alice asked Mary.
Mary nodded again. "Yes, but I guess it's because my mother was a Black. I have wolf blood in me. It's not active though."
Mary then looked up at the sky.
"It's getting dark. The boys will be going crazy by now. We have a birthday party for Emily tomorrow. You should come, Bella. I guarantee, it will be something you won't ever forget."
Bella glanced at Edward, who squeezed the bridge of his nose. He then looked at Mary, who squeezed her eyes shut. She looked for Bella's future through the ring. When she opened her eyes. Edward was satisfied that she'd be safe.
"I don't know if Charlie will let me." Bella said.
"Don't worry. I'll have Uncle Billy call and invite you. He'll allow. I already see you there." Mary told her.
"Come on, I'll take you home." Bella said.
"Uh, not to be rude, but I want to get home before next year." Mary told her.
Bella huffed and the rest of the Cullens laughed.
"I'll take you, but I can only take you to the border." Alice said.
"That's fine. I'll just call....Jacob. Paul will be going crazy insane." Mary said while pulling out her cell phone.
The phone didn't even ring once when it was answered.
"Mary?" Jacob's rough, husky voice came over the phone.
"Yes, Jake. Can you come pick me up at the border of La Push? I'll explain everything once I get home."
She heard him sigh, then he agreed. Ten minutes later she was in the porche with Alice, and stopping in front of the treaty line. Paul was pacing back and forth in front of the V.W. Rabbit, while Jacob was leaning against the side looking amused.
Mary all but jumped out of the car and ran to Paul, who pulled her in for a huge hug.
"Can't breath, Paul." She gasped.
Paul grinned, and held her away from him to check her over for injuries. Mary swatted his hands away. "I'm fine, Paul." She then turned and waved to Alice, who in turn turned the car around and left.
The ride home was silent. Paul kept Mary on his lap the whole time. Never letting her go.
When they were finally settled in Jacob's living room, and even Billy was there, she finally spoke.
"I found out I'm related to one of the Cullens."
Mary buried her head into Paul's shoulder and waited for the explosion. She wasn't disappointed. Various versions of "What" and "What the hell" were heard. Until Sam spoke up.
"Explain." He ordered.
Even though Mary wasn't one of the wolves, therefor didn't technically have to obey him, she did out of respect for him.
"Alice Cullen, was formally known as Mary Alice Brandon. She was institutionalized in 1919 for having visions. There she was changed and eventually found the Cullens. She had a little sister, who I think had a son out of wedlock. The son had a son, and so on, till me. I think the visions only came to the females of the family. I was the first female since Alice and her sister."
Mary paused to take a breath, "I had heard of Alice before from my fathers family. It was a taboo subject, but they had constantly compared me to her. Before I came here, there was talk of admitting me just like they did her."
Mary heard growls from around the room. She layed a hand on Paul's chest to calm him down and looked at Billy. She pulled her puppy dog look.
"Uncle Billy, can you call Charlie and tell him about Emily's party tomorrow? Bella already agreed to come if we can talk Charlie into allowing her."
Jacob got a huge grin on his face, as Billy moved to go get the phone. Paul stood up with Mary in his arms and spoke for the first time tonight, "Lets all get some sleep. Mary had enough action for today, and we will all need our rest for the party tomorrow."
Sam nodded and stood, followed by the rest of the pack, "Embry and Quil will take first shift tonight. Paul and Jared second. Go now."
And just like that everyone was gone. Mary cuddled up to Paul in her room and promptly fell asleep.
