Hello people of the Milky Way(:

I am really happy with how long this ended up! Yay! Some of the content I had to make up because it was not mentioned in Stephenie Meyer's books but I mainly just used bits and pieces I picked up from other fanfictions. So yeah, this is chapter fourteen! ;D Yay!

I know I said this would be out right after last chapter but it wasn't so... I'll attempt to post chpater fifteen really soon, maybe tonight or tomorrow night.

Thank you all so very much for the amazing reviews(: I love them.

Disclaimer: I do not own The Twilight Saga, sadly... I only own the long lost brother Raphael and Jamie, the ophan that people seem to be warming up to(:

Enjoy!

Chapter Fourteen

Alice's POV

Where am I?

Who am I?

Why was I buried?

Why is this strange thing calling me Alice? Am I Alice? Sounds kind of familiar…

The strange - the word came to me, man, this moving thing in front of me is called a man - was still standing there, watching me.

And I was a woman? Yes, I'm a girl, a female, the opposite of male.

This didn't look like… home, there's the word. No, this place is too rainy to be home. I lived in… Mississippi? I think I lived in Biloxi, Mississippi. Yes, and I was born in 1901.

Where's Mum, Pa and Cindy? Who is this strangely attractive blonde man standing in front of me? Why can't I remember?

"Don't you remember me?" the blonde guy asked quietly, pain rang clear in his deep voice with a hint of a strange accent.

"No, should I?" I frowned.

"Yes, Alice, we've been married for one hundred and thirty-five years."

Married? Mum and Pa were married. I wasn't married though, I would have remembered. I'm only sixteen years old, that's too young to be married.

"Jas-" another voice sounded and then a scream. I crouched down in a defensive stance, hissing.

"Shh, Esme, calm down. Where's Edward?"

"Hunting," the lady whispered, Esme? She had curly hair; it was the colour of toffee, one of my favourite candies. But for some reason the word sounded disgusting. But I like toffee! Her eyes never left my face.

"Can you have Carlisle call him so we can figure out what she remembers?" the blonde man asked.

Esme nodded and ran into the house again. A man and woman appeared outside right after the lady, Esme, went inside.

The man was huge! He had curly brown hair and yellow eyes, just like the blonde and toffee haired lady. The blonde woman beside him had yellow eyes too. The colour was just like the stone Mum had on her gold necklace, topaz? Yes, that sounds right. The blonde girl was pretty, no, more like gorgeous.

"Who are you?" I asked quietly, the man was even bigger than Pa.

"Ali?" the blonde girl asked, her voice questioning.

"Em, Rose, introduce yourselves," the blonde guy said.

"Uh, I'm Emmett," the huge curly hair guy said and waved a bit.

"And I'm Rosalie," the blonde girl spoke up, slowly.

I smiled slightly. "It's nice to meet you."

Emmett grinned; he didn't seem as scary as before.

"Jasper, what exactly is going on?" Rosalie asked, frowning.

"I'm not sure Rose. That's why I need to talk to Carlisle and Edward." Oh, the blonde guy's name was Jasper.

"My goodness," a new voice gasped. Another blonde man appeared outside.

"Carlisle, I think she changed back. But she doesn't remember us."

The man, Carlisle, frowned as he approached me slowly.

"Emmett and Rose, could you go and please ask Esme to call Edward and the others back from their hunting trip?"

Emmett and Rosalie both nodded and ran into the house.

"Do you know if she remembers anything Jasper? Or is it all a blank?"

"She doesn't remember me or anyone else in the family. I haven't been able to ask her anythin' else."

"Alright, we'll just have to see what Edward can find," Carlisle murmured.

"Can I ask a question?" I spoke up.

"Why of course," Carlisle assured.

"Where am I and where is Mum, Pa and Cindy?"

Both men froze of a moment. I frowned.

"Carlisle…" Jasper started.

"It seems like she remembers the opposite of what she did when she woke last time. The first time she was changed, she couldn't remember her human life, now it's like she can't remember her vampire life."

"Vampire?" I questioned.

"Ah, yes. You are a vampire, like my family and I. We'll explain everything later," Carlisle promised.

I nodded, happy with that, for now.

"Carlisle, Esme said you ne-" another voice sounded as another man appeared. "Oh my god…"

"Edward, we need you to figure out what she remembers," Carlisle murmured.

Ah, so that's Edward.

"Yes, I am Edward."

I blinked. How does he know what I'm thinking?

"I'm a mind-reader. Our kind has extra abilities. Why don't we go inside and sit down?" Edward asked and gestured to the house.

I nodded and strangely felt as if I could trust them.

"Jasper's guilty of that. He's an empath, he feels and controls emotions. It makes it easier for what we'll tell you, not to frighten you or anger you," Edward explained.

I glanced at Jasper and flinched. What was that?

"Sorry," the blonde empath murmured and looked away. I frowned.

We entered the house and sat in the living room. There were a couple white sofas and armchairs. Vases with different flowers sat on dark wooden side tables and picture frames lined the walls.

I wandered over to the wall and tilted my head to the side. That was me? There were pictures of myself and the blonde goddess, Rosalie. Photos of Edward and me, Esme, Carlisle and me, a little girl with bronze coloured ringlets, Rosalie and me also lined the walls. There were frames of Emmett and Rosalie, Carlisle and Esme, Edward and a pretty brown haired girl holding the curly haired child.

But the one picture that really stumped me was the one of Jasper and me. I was in a black dress that had strange geometric shapes cut into it that showed my pale smooth skin underneath. I was smiling brightly unlike my companion, Jasper, whose eyes gazed down at my face, adoration and love evident in his gaze. He had a small smile on his face, with his tailored suit covered arm wrapped around my waist.

"When was this?" I whispered.

"That was seventy-eight years ago at Fork high school's end of the year prom. You tricked Bella into a make-over so she wouldn't miss any human experiences." Jasper's voice made me jump, I hadn't noticed him.

He chuckled quietly, I liked his laugh, and it was comforting. "It's strange, being able to surprise you."

"Who's Bella?"

"Bella is that girl over there." Jasper pointed to the brown haired girl standing with Edward and the child in the picture. "Bella is Edward's wife and the mother of Renesmee. She was human when Edward fell in love with her and eventually married her. She ended up pregnant much to our surprise and had a half-vampire, half-human child. Bella was turned after that. You two are best friends."

I frowned. Certainly I would be able to remember my best friend. All I remember is my sister Cynthia.

"Who is that?" I asked, pointing to the photo of the girl, Renesmee, clearly older, standing next to a tanned boy.

"That is Jacob Black; he's a werewolf and Renesmee's imprinter. He and his tribe live in La Push, not far from here."

'Werewolf' I mouthed to myself and turned, walking over to the couches. It was strange to feel so welcomed and accepted. I wasn't used to it.

Just then the brown haired girl drifted in, the one from the picture, Bella, my best friend.

"Oh my god!" she gasped and stared wide-eyed at me.

"Love, just calm down and sit, we'll explain everything," Edward murmured and guided Bella's shocked form to one of the armchairs.

"Now, Alice, why don't you take a seat and tell us about yourself?" Edward offered and gestured to one of the white sofas. I smiled slightly and took a seat.

"What would you like to know?" I asked.

"Anything and everything," Carlisle murmured.

I nodded. "Okay, well I was born on April 19, 1901 in Biloxi, Mississippi. My mother's name is Mary, who I was named after and my father's name is Joseph Brandon. I have a sister named Cynthia who is five years younger than me. I am sixteen years old and I'm home schooled. When-I… uh…" I bit my lip.

"No, no Alice, continue. I'm a mind reader and you're worried about that? Ah, I see… it's alright, you're safe here. I promise you," Edward said, sincerely.

I swallowed and nodded again. "Uh, well when I was five I started having these vivid dreams that would wake me up at night. My mother always thought them to be an active imagination but as I got older I started realizing and I think my parents did too, that my dreams came true. My father is very strict on religion and pushed us to be perfect. Mother tried keeping as much as she could from him in fear that he'd take me from her.

"The other day I overheard them speaking of hospitalizing me. Mother is dead set against it but my father still has ruling say in that argument. I'm scared that I'll be sent away to a hospital for insane people and won't be able to see her or Cynthia." I wrapped my arms around myself and bowed my head.

"Oh dear, you're safe now. You won't ever have to go through that again," Esme soothed and placed a gentle hand on my knee.

I smiled slightly. "Thank you, thank you so much. Now, can I hear your entire story?"

Carlisle nodded and smiled. "Well, we have time to tell our individual stories of the change later but right now I'll explain the whole vampire and werewolf bit and then Jasper can take over and explain his meeting with you."

I nodded for him to continue.

"Well, as a summary, I was changed about 400 years ago. Normally it takes three days for the transformation from human to vampire is complete, depending how much and close the venom is to the heart. Naturally, we feed on human blood but over the years I was able to find a satisfying substitute, animal blood. Now my family and I survive on mainly animals. That explains the golden eye colour instead of the red.

"We are much like your typical vampire, as seen in the book Dracula which would have been becoming quite popular around the year you remember. We have inhuman strength and speed, we see the night as if it was day and our hearing is quite amazing. But unlike vampires in common books, we do not die from stakes, holy water or crosses do not effect us and we can walk in the sun.

"Our world has a sort of ruling family in charge of law. The Volturi consist of three vampire elders, Aro, Caius and Marcus. They also have a guard which includes over fifteen gifted and non-gifted vampires. They enforce the rules, well one rule which can branch off into many other rules. The one rule we must always remember is do not let humans know about you, remain a secret.

"As for the werewolves, I will leave Jacob to explain the details but the wolves are just shape-shifters. They change when angry or provoked and they are about the size of horses when in wolf form. The Quileute tribe has their own legends about our kind; just know that we have a solid relationship with them.

"Now, Jasper has already explained Edward and Bella's story briefly, so I'll just add a few points to it. Because Edward fell in love with Bella and she ended up finding out our secret, the Volturi had a couple encounters with us. Then Renesmee came along and another misunderstanding was created. So with that in mind, Jasper, would you please explain your story to Alice?"

Jasper nodded and took Carlisle's seat across from me when he stood up.

"Well, in order to understand this story a little better, I'll have to summarize my past. I was born in Texas in 1844 and at the age of seventeen I joined the army. I quickly passed through the ranks to be appointed Major; I was the youngest Major in the Confederate Army in Texas, though no one knew that. At the age of nineteen, I was sent on horseback to Galveston to evacuate some civilians when I found three women wanderin'. I remember thinkin' them to be ghosts but boy, was I wrong. That night I was changed.

"The three women, Maria, Nettie and Lucy, were vampires creatin' a newborn army. Newborn is the term used to describe the early life of a vampire, within the first year newborns are stronger than normal but they are more uncontrollable. Since I had the gift of Pathokinesis, which is the fancy term for empathy, I was able to control the newborns and Maria made me second-in-command. For sixty years I was surrounded by blood, war, violence, anger, hate, fear and pain.

"A friend of mine, Peter and his mate Charlotte soon invited me to leave with them to go north and out of Mexico. I agreed and traveled with them for almost twenty years but grew uncomfortable with their lovin' atmosphere.

"I wandered for a couple more years until I found myself in an almost empty diner in Philadelphia. I was hungry, wet, and dirty. As soon as I walked through the door I sense the presence of another one of our kind. My mind screamed at me to run but I was pulled forward by somethin' else. Then I spotted her dancin' towards me. A woman, with a pixie-like face, petite features, she was stunnin'. She walked right up to me and smiled like I was a childhood best friend."

"You've kept me waiting a long time…" I whispered and gasped, covering my mouth with my hand.

"My apologies Ma'am," Jasper murmured and a small smile broke out on his face.

"I'm sorry… I-I don't know why I said that… I…" I stuttered pathetically.

"Shh, don't be. This proves that there's a chance that you'll remember me and what we've been through. Somewhere in your mind, you remember."

I frowned slightly.

"Why don't we take a break?" Carlisle offered. "A hunt would do you good Alice. Why doesn't Jasper go teach you and maybe he could explain things further for you?"

Jasper nodded and stood. "Of course."

I got up and followed my possible husband outside.

Jamie's POV

I was sitting in my room, reading a book when Raphael stopped in my doorway.

"Did you hear? Alice is alive!" He was grinning brightly.

I smiled. "That's great!"

He walked over to my bed and lay down beside me. I smiled and snuggled up to him.

"So, what are you readin'?"

I shrugged and dropped the book on my side table. "Nothing important, do you want to go hunting?"

Raphael nodded and smiled. "C'mon." He kissed my nose and got up, grabbing my hand.

Yeah, I like Jasper's brother, sue me. He liked me back which just made everything right, well almost everything. No one but Edward knew, but I doubt he told anyone. All that "protecting people's privacy" crap, oh well I didn't care. I was happy, Raphael was happy, Jasper had Alice back and everyone was safe.

Life was better.

Yeah, random Jamie POV at the end. I had to introduce the new Cullen couple somehow! Please review! :)
