About three things I was absolutely positive. First, Edward was a vampire.
Second, there was a part of him—and I didn't know how dominant that part might be -that thirsted for my blood.
And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
Edward & Co Read Twilight
Preface
Edward POV
"Alice!" I growled behind my teeth. What on earth was she playing at? She whipped the book out of my stunned hands before I could stop her and legged it to the desk, ringing the bell twice. The old man came back and glared at her. "Yes?" he croaked. Then he noticed the book in Alice's hand. "$7.99 please." he mutted and Alice plonked a $10 bill on the desk. He nodded and gave her change. As soon as we walked out of the shop, she threw it on the sidewalk.
"Alice - Explain." I muttered as we got into my Volvo and floored towards the highway back to Forks. She was quiet and then she explained. "Well, I just saw a vision of this book and decided to find it. The vision said that I'd find in this bookshop. It's about...us and a girl....who...who falls in love with you Edward and you love her back. What scraes me the most is that there is no publish date on the book and technicly it hasn't been published."
I fall silent. "Lets just wait until we get home and tell the rest shall we..I mean it's not like this is being rude or anything is it?" I rasied my eyebrows. But stayed silent. Alice was in mute as well. I tired not to read her mind. She was imagining the vision of how we'd react at the first chapter. I sighed and sulmped. I drove about 100mph down the three-mile drive to our home. Alice leaped out and was in the house before I could turn the engine off. I followed suit and sighed dramctily when I sat myself on the sofa - making Esme frown at me in curiosity.
"Alright, guys! I have found a book-" I coughed loudly. ""- I mean Me and EDWARD found a book, which I think we should read. It's about something that might happen next year - a magical book. If you call it that. I'll read you the blurb. I groaned. Emmett was going to love this. Alice turned the book over and cleared her throat before saying:

And third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him.
I guessed correctly as Emmet roared with laughter. The rest of my family apart from me, Alice and Roaslie laughed as well. "This is priceless! Eddie's got a girl in love with him!". Alice backed me up-or she thought she did. "In the story he falls in love with her as well! You, me and everyone is in this! This is what will happen next year when Chief Swan'a daughter comes to Forks! She'll figure out what he is, what we are!"
Silence then some more laughter. "Eddie's gunna get laid! By a human!" I jumped up and threw myself at him, causing him to stop. He tackled me as I growled. Esme yelled at us to stop. I stopped, Emmett didn't. Esme pulled us apart and hissed "Appologize! Now!" she glared. "Sorry mom, sorry Emmett." she glared at him. "Sorrry!" he said, leaving us thinking he was going to get me back for that. I went back to the sofa and plonked myself there again. Alice turned the book over and read:
When Isabella Swan moves to the gloomy town of Forks and meets the mysterious, alluring Edward Cullen, her life takes a thrilling and terrifying turn. With his porcelain skin, golden eyes, mesmerising voice and supernatural gifts, Edward is both irresistable and impenterable. Up until now, he has mangened to keep his true identiy hidden, but Bella is determined to uncover his dark secret.
"This girl sounds clever and quite different" Carlise noted, panic in his voice.
I rolled my eyes, "Don't worry Carlise - she's only a human."
"Don't underestimate her - we've only read the blurb." he argured.
"Enough!" Alice yelled, wanting to contiue the story. We went quiet and she finnished reading the blurb.
What Bella doesn't realise is that the closer she gets to him, the more she is putting herself and thoose around her at risk. And it might be too late to turn back...
"Ooooh scary!" Emmett said, making us all jump - unusal for vampires to be so still like that. Alice sighed and opened the book.
Preface she read and we stayed silent.
I'd never given much thought to how I would die - though I'd had reason enough in the last few months - but even if I had, I would of not imagined it like this. I starred without breathing across the long room, into the eyes of the hunter -
"What?!" I said. Alice glared at me from behind the novel. Carlise and Esme looked confused as well. "Carry on Alice" I said.
- and he looked pleasantly back at me. Surely it was a good way to die, in the place of someone eles, someone I loved. Noble, even. That ought to count for something.
I knew that if I'd never gone to Forks, I wouldn't be facing death now. But, terried as I was, I couldn't bring myself to regret the descion. When life offers you a dream so far beyound any of your expectations, it's not resonable to grieve when it comes to an end.
The hunter smiled in a friendly way as he sauntered forward to kill me.
Alice smiled "Well?" she said. Esme spoke "It's quite a grim way. That must be a nomad vampire trying to kill her. We would never think of doing that would we?" she spoke in a feared voice. Carlise put his arm round her, comforting her.
"Alice - read the first chapter." I demamnded. She nodded and turned the page.
