**The Cullen's Return**
"Well that was one hell of a hunt. Two Grizzlies certainly fill you up. Wish they had more fight in 'em though. They never seem to last long enough."
"Yeah, and the clothes I make for you never seem to last long either Emmett!"
"Oh come on Alice, you know you love doing it. And besides, you only let us wear them just the once. So I don't see the problem."
"Argh! Why do I bother?" with that, Alice stormed upstairs, no doubt to work on more clothing designs and thinking of disturbing outfits she could force on Emmett, with Jasper following close behind her. One of the worst outfits consisting of a pink tutu, spandex and a lot of feathers. I shivered at the image.
Naturally, Emmett's thoughts were already on a completely different topic, baseball. Slumping down on the couch and turning on the TV, Emmett was completely engrossed in the game. Rosalie went into the garage to work on one of our many cars we've collected over the years. Being with Emmett she'd become a natural at tuning out his sometimes foolish banter, and was now only thinking about all the ways she could soup up her car (as well as how immaculate she looked in the car windows reflection).
Esme and Carlisle were strolling out in the back yard, and looking at the stars, simply enjoying each others company so I gave them their privacy and kept out of their minds. As made my way to my room I passed Alice's door and caught an errant thought of hers which she covered up quickly and it intrigued me. "…third, I was unconditionally and irrevocably in love with him." It was odd, in that it was as if she was repeating it from a script or book but it was within the confines of one of her visions. What could that mean?
I made my way into my room, and turned on my sound system then reclined on the couch, all the while contemplating Alice's vision. Who could it be that this vision involved? And it said 'third', so what could the other two notions be? Why would she be getting visions on a woman's love life? The group of woman in our family are happily attached and as vampires that love is permanent. Also, why were the visions from a book or script? Maybe I'm just reading too much into this and she was just trying to select a book to read.
The sun had now begun to rise and I gazed at the clock. It was currently six-thirty. In a few hours I will have to begin the tedious life of a normal human teenager my siblings and I must endure five days of the week. At least it's only during the day. At night we can indulge in any of our many hobbies, since the need for sleep is not something we are forced to endure.
As I opened my bedroom door Alice dashed past me at top speed down the stairway. Her thoughts appeared scrambled as I heard her squeal with apparent glee. I looked to my right to see Jasper at the end of the hall.
"What is going on? I can't read her thoughts."
"I don't have a clue. She wouldn't tell me anything except that it was a surprise," he replied with shrug, then made his way past me and down to the foyer.
I followed suit, noticing when I reached the end of the staircase that everyone was now encircling Alice, who was currently holding a small unmarked box with a look of pure excitement glowing on her face and was bouncing on the balls of her feet.
Honestly, what is going on?
