"I see…a blond…another blond.... and another bl- not that's you…a big guy…a redhead boy. Um…"

Alice was mesmerizing at her visions. They were more frequent than usual. And she saw us mixed with the strangers often. Her angelic face was smushed in a childish grimace, eyes closed tightly, lips pursed. Her palms were pressed tightly on her temples, rubbing them.

I stared at her.

This was strangely interesting. When she did that I could focus on studying her. She had the tiniest hands and feet. Her legs were so skinny that her thighs and her claves were about the same thickness. Her arms were still a little bit round, like a kid. I realized her hair was curly, and not straight. Her eyes resembled that of a fawn. Her lips were full. She was very lovely, I decided over and over. She opened her eyes. They were turning orange now. Feeding on animals did that, I figured. Mine were still red.

I'd only been here a month and a half. It would come, Alice always said.

"Okay, here's what I know so far." She explained. "There are two girls, a blond and a brunette. I think one of them is a mother figure. Then there are the boys. One of them is huge. He has black hair. The oldest one is blond. I think he's married to the 'mother'. And the youngest is a redhead. I almost caught his name this time…" Her hand was placed on her chin in a speculating expression. She was mumbling, more to herself than to me.

"Anything else?" I asked blankly. I didn't really care who those people were, I just wanted to stay with Alice, really.

Her head snapped up.

"Edward!" She nearly shouter, her eyes wide and her mouth open, like a fish. She wasn't looking at me, but above me, as if focusing on some invisible thing. I got confused.

"I'm Jasper." I said in a surprised tone.

She got up, and started to dance around the room. My confusion turned to slight panic.

"Alice?"

"A clear detail! A clear detail!" She laughed in her wind chime soprano.

She jumped to me and grabbed my shoulders with her small hands.

"Edward!"

I just stared. Alice got irritated at my lack of interest and smacked my head.

"Show some excitement!" She scolded.

"But what are you talking about?!" I asked, annoyed, rubbing my head in a reflex.

"His name! That's his name! Edward! The redhead!" She shouted again, raising her hands above her head.

I suddenly grasped the meaning behind her words.

"You heard it?" I was excited now. I got up quickly and looked at her.

"I did! I did! We're getting closer!"

She jumped at my neck and hugged me.

Well this was unusual. A voice in the back of my pressured me to wrap myself around her as well.

I obeyed, slowly closing my arms around her too-small body. I could tell she was laughing at my awkward response. She let go and slid off.

"Now, to pack!" she said, pointing up her index finger as she spun towards the massive piles of clothes.

"Pack?" I asked. I liked it here. Why couldn't we stay?

"Well, yes. If we want to find them, we have to move." She rolled her eyes at me in evident mockery.

"Can't they find us?" I asked, turning a bit stubborn.

She faced me.

"Nah, I don't think so. It's my decision to find them, not theirs. I have to find them."

She kept on packing her clothes into multiple bags. How was she going to bring them all?

"Want me to help?" I asked, motioning to her stuff.

"No, you should hunt. Your eyes have gotten darker, its been too long."

I did feel a bit hungry.

"You don't want anything?" I asked.

She smiled.

"I have a better capacity than you." She said simply.

No doubt about that, I thought gruffly.

I walked out of the room, up the stairs and outside.

Hunting, then. It was a bit boring without Alice. I sighed and ran into the forest behind our house.

It took me a whole fifteen to find food. Maybe it was a good thing to move. The wildlife was getting unnaturally small. I was about to bite into the boar's back when I heard shuffling. I raised my head, it didn't sound like Alice. Alice didn't make any noise when she moved.

In front of me stood something I'd prayed I would have never seen again.

A newborn vampire, looking at me with hazy, wandering eyes.

It was mad. Mad and hungry.

And I was in his path. I got up, only to see that he wasn't alone. Behind him stood two others, a girl and another boy.

Three newborns.

Against me.

Damn it. They all had hungry black eyes, staring widely at me.

One of them spoke a foreign language in a weary, almost throaty voice.

It hit me then. Just like lightning had struck me.

Alice. Fragile. Alone. Unaware, probably, she was too focused on the pack we were tracking.

Oh crap.
