September 10 1996
I was sitting in the family room of the house we were currently living in. I was the only one home. Everyone else has gone hunting. I told them that I was going shopping for the this dress I had seen myself in about two days ago and that they could go without me. Part of that was true I had seen myself in a fabulous dress but that was not the real reason I stayed behind.
I was really looking into see the future of my favorite brother Edward. He had seem very depressed lately and I was beginning to worry. So I told him to go off hunting so I could see the future without him snooping around in my thoughts. Just in case I saw something that could trouble him more.
I hadn't seen anything terribly life changing which kind of gave me a secret satisfaction. I didn't want his life to change to drastically unless for the better. He had always been the odd one out in our family and I never thought anything of it. Until now anyways. I didn't want him to be lonely for eternity. So I was seeking out someone anyone to make him at least a little bit happier. I was kind of hoping to see someone special for him .Like how I was to Jasper , Rose to Emmett, and esme to Carlisle, but it didn't have to be like that as long as he was happy.
Now I was starting to get frustrated I had been looking for about three hours and still nothing. All I could see was what animal Edward was going to prey on next. This wasn't going to change anything. It wouldn't matter if he ate deer or bear next that wouldn't make him any happier.
I was just about to give up when a thought dawned on me. I had never looked really far into the future like years before except with Jasper. Maybe that was the answer to the not being able to see him changing his disposition. Maybe he wasn't going to get any happier right away it could just take a couple of years. So I had found my answer and I was going to try it.
I didn't really know how to make myself see a certain time period, especially not one that was further than a few months. So I concentrated really hard. Trying to think about a year from now. If vampires could get headaches than I would have been having a migraine, and yet nothing. I finally stopped with a deep sigh.
"Why is this so hard" I mumbled under my breath. When I'm not even thinking about it wham a vision but when I want one nothing.
I tried again but not thing as hard about it. I was also trying to see about five years into the future. I took a deep sigh and just thought about that and nothing else. Then I saw exactly five years to the day…
We were in Alaska with the counter part of our clan. The first thing I saw was Edward playing his piano which is something he usually does when he is happy so that gave me a bit of hope. But it didn't sound right not like he was enjoying it. He was just playing. No emotion. Just sound. Then he turned around and saw his face. The emptiness that is currently in his stare was still there. Then I came back to the present.
Was he never to find happiness. though I guess five years was not a lot for a immortal it was still very frustrating knowing that he was still lonely. I kind of always thought him and Tanya would eventually start dating. But she was there in the vision and still the same look on his face that's hurts me to see.
That time was not the time to go to. I would have to go further. He better get happy soon I wasn't to look all day. So with another deep sigh. I started to concentrate again. I thought nine years this time. Surely he could be happy THEN. Then I saw nine years into the future…
We were in a new house. I saw me sitting in the living I guessed watching some mind numbing movie. I looked around the room to see who I was accompanied by in the unfamiliar room. Then I saw what I had been hoping to see since I first meet Edward. I saw him holding a girl in his arms. He was kissing the top of her head and whispering in her ear that sent her into an immediate blush. "Wait ,what" I thought. Since when do vampires blush. Then it dawn on me. In the vision Edward was holding a HUMAN. Classic. Wow he looked so happy through I couldn't dwell on that fact while watching them. It was one of the sweetest things I had ever seen. They were so in love. Unfortunately I came back to the present.
This one probably one of the best vision I had ever had (besides the one about jasper and I meeting). He was so happy which immediately brought a huge smile on my face. Who cared if she was not one of our kind that could always be changed. That brought on a new world of questions. What was the girls name? where did they meet? Did they every get married? Did she become one of us? The last thought was very exciting. I would have a new sister and a new best friend. This was very exciting to me. I had to find out what happens to the sweet couple. I know it would have been better to wait but patience was never my virtue so of course I would have to look ahead.
I went through the process again. I hoped this would get easier next time. This time ten years…
Where am I? It looked like a study. I was guessing it was Carlisle at our new home. I looked around the whole room it looked like a hospital room. What had happened here? There was blood everywhere. I finally turned completely around and saw the sweet girl who was in my previous vision lying there lifeless. This sight sent chills down my whole body. Who had done this to her. Was this the result of her transformation into one of us? No it couldn't be. She look to broken every part of her body was either cut or bruised or both. I could tell that one of us had tried to save her but I wasn't sure that it worked. Then I saw she was holding hands with someone I looked up to see who it was.
I saw Edward with a look on his face that confused me a bit. It looked like he was in unbearable pain. I was sure it was from seeing this. But there was something else in his stare. I couldn't believe it he looked almost happy. Where we not seeing the same thing? How could he be happy in this situation? The girl he loved was there dying and in very much pain from the venom. What was happy about that?
The he lend down to her ear and whispered "She has your eyes Bella."
Oh so the girls name was Bella. That was a very fitting name she looked like a Bella. Wait who had her eyes? What was he talking about? I looked over to the side of Edward that wasn't facing and Bella and what I saw sent a big chill of excitement through me.
He was holding a little figure covered in a blanket. It took me a second to realize that it was a baby. Oh my goodness a BABY! What a surprise. How was that possible? He was a vampire. They cant have babies. Rosalie wanted one so very badly but she couldn't. so why was this possible? I couldn't think of that right now. I am sure could get an explanation later. Then I realized I wanted to see the little bundle of joy. Edward finally turn the baby ,as if he read my mind, so I could see it better.
She had the most perfect face I had ever seen. Big brown eyes like her mother, Bella lying next to her. She had almost the exact facial features as her father, Edward but I could also see Bella in her. Her hair was the same bronze color hair as Edward also. The beautiful curls framed her face in the best way. She was the best mixture of the both of them I wanted to hold her and to talk to her and to know her. I was getting tired of saying her. What was the angelic baby's name? Than again as if he heard my silent question whispered to the baby" Your mother will be fine there is no need to worried Renesmee. I love you very much." Renesmee what a pretty and original name. Fitting her very well. I had been wrong before. This was the best vision I had ever had.
I came back to the present. Which sadden me quite a bit. I could have at there and watch that scene(besides Bella's body in pain) all day. It was so blissful. So beautiful.
I heard my family coming down the road in their cars. "Wow they weren't gone long" I sighed.
I wanted to see more of the family I had just seen. But I couldn't let Edward see that it could change things. Then another problem came into my mind. How was Edward not going to find out about this? Even if he couldn't read my mind I couldn't just not tell someone this. This is the kind of thing you have to tell everyone. But I could not let him find out. I believe that the future is shown to people who can handle it. I could handle it. So I erased any thoughts I had of the little angel I had just seen. I new I couldn't think about her again( though I knew as soon as I was out of hearing distance of Edward she would defiantly dance right back into my thoughts were she belonged).
"We're home" my loving husband announced when they came into the doorway
"Did you have fun?" I replied calmly. While in my mind translating pride and prejudice in Spanish.
Then Edward walked in and had a confused look on his face.
He looked down on me and said "Alice what are you hiding?"
I tried to put on the best puzzled look and answered "Why would you say that?"
"You're translating pride and prejudice. You always do that when your trying to hide something." He replied.
"Oh no it just a favorite past time of mine" I said nervously. Heading for the door while grabbing jasper arm. I had to get out of there and tell someone. I always told jasper everything so I pulled him out and started running.
"Where are we going?" he questioned effortlessly catching up with me.
"I have to tell you something." I replied knowing we were out of hearing distance and letting my thoughts drift back to the things I had seen earlier. Knowing I had to see more.
