I don't own anything Twilight related but oh I wish I did!!

So this chapter and possibly the next one are going to be from Edward's POV. It will cover from when Bella first opens the chest to when he meets Bella for the first time. Hope I've done him proud. Let me know what you think.

The Magic 8 Ball

"Edward! Common we are going out shopping!" Alice sang the last word, how anyone could love shopping so much is beyond me.

"Alice, leave me alone I do not wish to partake in any torture you have planned for me today or come to think of it any other day" my voice sounded far more bored than I intended it to, which earned me a scornful look off of Rosalie as she passed the doorway. I sighed and got up off of my bed and walked downstairs to find Alice pouting sat on Jasper's lap, whilst he tried to sooth her.

"Now darlin' we all know Edward doesn't like to leave the house – ever- why do you always ask?" he already knew, his thoughts gave him away Alice had had a vision and she had only said it was about me and needed to get me alone. However at this moment her thoughts were concentrated on whether or not we could have a pet and keep it alive or would we just eat it. I laughed at her thoughts and she beamed up at me with a hopeful smile.

"I don't think Esme would approve very much of having a pet, they make too much mess" her face dropped slightly and she huffed pulling her self back into Jaspers hold.

"That's true especially since we already have Emmett and he makes a whole world of mess when he plays" she giggled into Jasper's arm as we heard a tinkling laugh float down the stairs from Rosalie.

"Hey! That's totally untrue I'm a good boy. Mum would you tell them to leave me alone" Emmett whined

"Alice, Edward play nice with your brother at once" Our mum called from the garden.

I laughed I couldn't help my self, it was a rare moment to see me act remotely normal so I let me self be free for just a moment. "Look Alice, I just carnt handle being around that many minds it's a lot to take in" I pleaded with her to understand.

Rosalie was talking before she appeared "Well if you went out more often you would be used to having more than 6 minds in your head at one time" the air swirled slightly and then there she stood right in front of me smirking. Rosalie along Alice, Jasper and I had a gift. Hers is quite unique, when she was first turned she had the ability to find her way to any where she wanted to go, she just walked and turned corners and she would eventually arrive at her attended destination. That was how she had "found us". She and Emmett were becoming depressed, even though they had each other they both had a strong need to be part of a proper family – even though they weren't exactly sure what type of family they could have. Then one day they came across us hunting and have stayed with us ever since. However as time passed her ability grew, first it was that she only had to picture a place or person she wanted to be with and she would in effect transport to them. Now she is able to teleport others where ever she pleases, all she needs is to touch them and she can send them anywhere.

It was useful in emergencies not so much when she wanted to go somewhere and we would refuse to go. She would sit with us and pretend to upset and then BAM we would be at the movies or the mall.

Instead of answering her I just walked back to my room, as my feet touched the bottom step Alice let out as gasp as a vision clouded her mind. The vision that she had been trying to hide from me all along, it was of a girl – a human girl- in our old house in Forks. She was walking around it calling out to her mother. The vision was only of that but still it was confusing why on earth was she in that house?

Carlisle and Esme entered the living room and Emmett bounded down the stairs wanting to know what the "magic 8 ball" had seen now, which earned him a smack around the head from Rosalie. Carlisle couldn't think why this girl would be in our home, he was about to ring one of the elders to get them to check on the house when Esme groaned, her thoughts filtered through mine within a split second I too was groaning.

"What? What's going on? Common no mental conversations it's unfair to us plain old vampires you know" Emmett huffed and crossed his arms across his chest, he didn't like that he hadn't gotten a special ability. Personally Carlisle and my self think that he does – his strength, it has never waned from when he was a newborn, his strength was unparalleled to any other I knew, I could only beat him because I knew exactly what he was going to do before he did it. Although I would never admit it to his face, he would be unbearable to live with for the next century.

"Mum let the town folk use the manor as a show house for tourist season, given its history. She's probably just a tourist, well thank heavens for that I was getting worried for a moment." I paused thinking if it was that simple then why had Alice hidden it from me? My face must have said it all for Alice was stood next to me now with her hand on my shoulder.

"Edward I didn't want you to get upset I thought it best not to mention it. Do you forgive me?" Silly girl how could I ever stay mad at her, I gave her a reassuring hug and walked back up to my room. As I reached the top I could still hear Alice's thoughts she was worried about my future it kept becoming fuzzy and the thought worried her to no end.
