Chapter 7
Even the combination of hanging out with Emmett and beating him to the hunt didnt do a lot to help Alice's mood, not that she would admitt that fact to her family. Once they returned home Alice had approached Rosalie and kissed her on the cheek, assuring her that she would be fine and then disappeared to her room for the evening to listen to soothing music and paint. A sure way to stave off the loneliness temporarily and distract her from thinking to much about her 'maybe' vision. When she sensed the approaching dawn she cleaned up her supplies and began whizzing about getting everything ready for school. It would be particuarly cold today, not that it would effect her but she still had to play the part so she chose a long white coat with matching knee high boots, black skinny jeans and a white shirt with a black vest. She then proceeded to hunt though her vast collection of scarves to find one that would match and compliment her wardrobe choices. After an hour of flitting about at a human speed getting ready and fiddling with her hair to make sure it was perfectly chaotic she was struck with another vision.
A sleek new looking black Mercedes Benz pulled into the deserted school car park and stopped letting out the same dark haired goddess she'd seen in her odd vision the day before. She leaned back into the car door obviously speaking to the driver although Alice could not hear what was said, which was unusual as she could normaly see and hear everything in her visions with pefect clarity. Then looking frustrated the girl slammed the door shut and the car sped off out of sight. Looking around the girl realised she was completely alone and stormed off in the direction of the school office. Only it being so early the school was abandoned and she sat down agaist the wall to wait.
Coming out of her vision Alice smiled, squeeling softly to herself in excitment and sped off downstairs thinking it's her, it was real!
Passing a confused looking Edward at lightning speed she ignored him not bothering to stop or say anything and was out the door and in her canary yellow porche turbo speeding down the driveway before anyone could react and ask what was going on.
"What was that?" Emmett asked as he stuck his head around the corner from the loungeroom. Edward just shrugged and answered "All I could catch of what she was thinking was 'it's her'"
"Huh, well thats Ali for you" Emmett raised an eyebrow then shrugged and headed back to the couch to continue playing his game of grand theft auto.
Speeding through town Alice glanced at the clock 6:30am I wonder why she's getting to school so early? God I hope this is really real. Please don't let it just be a daydream like Edward said. Pushing her foot down on the gas she gunned the engine and picked up even more speed, eager to get there and see the girl in her unusual visions arrive.
Only a few minutes after leaving her house Alice was approaching the entrence to the school carpark. Not bothering to slow down to turn she pulled the steering wheel hard and threw on the handbreak causing the tires to scream in protest as she drifted into the lot and came to a stop in her brothers favorite spot. Haha take that Eddy. You big pooper Looking back over to the entrence she absentmindedly switched on the sterio and hit shuffle on the attached ipod which started playing soft jazz and settled down into the seat making herself comfortable. Now to wait for the black merc. Then not even thirty seconds later Alice caught a movment from over near the school's buildings in the corner of her eye, chancing a quick glance she turned her head ever so slightly and saw the figure of a girl heading toward her car. Holy shit she's here, I must have gotten here just after her. Closing her eyes and pretending not to notice the approach of her mystery girl Alice took the few seconds it took for the girl to walk to her car and tap on her window to collect herself.
Hearing the gental tap on her car window Alice feined suprise and snapped her eyes open while turning toward the window, coming face to face with the most beautiful face she'd ever seen and just for a moment became lost in the most intense and deep brown eyes that were locked with her own golden one's. Catching an unnecessary breath Alice quickly hit the button that automaticaly wound the window down and unable to help herself grinned at the dark beauty before her. "Good morning. Im sorry you startled me a little, I wasn't expecting anyone else to be here this early" liar.
"Oh sorry, I saw you drive in. That was freakin cool by the way! I don't think Ive seen anyone outside of a movie drive like that. I'm Helena" and with that Helena plastered a huge grin on her face stuck her hand through the window in greeting. Smiling even wider Alice took Helena's hand sending tingles and an electric feeling of anicipation up her arm and through her body, still staring in to those captivating eyes she replied. "Alice. I havn't seen you here before are you new?" Nodding her head Helena broke eye contact for the first time, although only for a second. It seemed as though she were just as captivated by Alice as she by Helena. "Yeah first day, my jerk off gaurdian dropped me off early because he apparently had lots of important things to do today" Raising her eyebrow slightly as Helena rolled her eyes Alice experienced a strong and sudden urge to track down the black Mercedes from her vision and slash it's tyres, shaking the feeling off as quickly as it arrived Alice smiled sympetheticly at Helena and said "Well its freezing out there and noone will arive for at least another half hour. Did you wanna jump in and warm up?" Hesitating slightly before answering with a shrug and a "why not" Helena made her way over to the passenger door and hopped in as Alice turned on the heater and cranked it up to full blast pointing as many of the vents as she could in Helena's direction and catching the most intriguing scent she ever smelt on a human, spicy and sweet at the same time with an under current of something she recognised but could'nt quiet place. "Thanks, thats already heaps better. Umm so if noone will be here for at least half an hour why are you here so early?" Alice's eyes widened in suprise shit I hadn't thought of an excuse for that! "Errr, I realy like school?" Helena's throaty chuckle filled the car causing Alice to swoon ohhh thats one hell of a sexy laugh. "No, I just have trouble sleeping and was feeling a little overwhelmed at home so I thought id just chill here and listen to music" Not a complete lie since I don't sleep and there is music on. "So your new to town, where are from? what brings you to Forks?" Alice asked in attempt to steer the conversation away from her and learn a little more about this divine creature sitting in her car. Looking longingly out the passengers side window and away from Alice, Helena replied "I'm from New Gothem City" then she continued hesitantly and so quietly that had Alice not been a Vampire with super hearing she would have missed it "and its a long fucked up story"
