A/N: Hey guys! Sorry that it took me so incredibly long to update this, things have just been pretty crazy lately. I know, it's way past Halloween, but who care? It's my fav holiday and it rocks! So I shall continue with the story…now!
Chapter 5 - Open Season
Alice's POV
I waited as patiently as possible outside of the mall. The other people around me were starting to get restless, seeing as that we'd been waiting in line here for about a good three hours. It really didn't matter to me, what's time to an immortal vampire? I can honestly say though, the humans around me were no where near as content.
I still felt kind of bad about leaving Jasper all by himself. He usually accompanied me on my shopping trips, but for some reason, I'm not sure that he really likes to. I mean, I know that I have a tiny interest, but I wouldn't call myself an addict. Just because I raid every possible store, blow money on things that I don't necessarily need, go a little overboard with the trends, and sometimes fling the occasional shopping cart at people that make me mad, means absolutely nothing. Ugh! I guess it's no use. As my anticipation suddenly fluttered in a sudden burst, somebody needed to open those stupid doors already!
My prayers were answered with a sudden wave of relieved sighs, and a chorus of "finally!" I muddled along with the school of shoppers as we violently entered the building. Out of the corner of my eye, I could see my competitor, staring back at me, with the same alert expression. From the visions I had previously had about her, I could only be sure of one thing. This woman was going to be trouble.
A/N: Sorry that was such a short chapter, but there is plenty more for later. I need to stretch it out a little anyways. Think of it this way, if the chapters are shorter, there will be a lot more story to read. I also realize that I may have exaggerated the shopping thing a little, but think of it through the mind of Alice Cullen, a true shopping addict.
