I forced myself to move towards the thinning in the trees. I stepped through the trees into a clearing. It was beautiful! There were flowers everywhere and the trees created a perfect circle around the clearing.
I walked towards the middle of the clearing; there was a light breeze that stirred the grass enough to make it look like a river. I saw something white roll across the grass in the breeze. I changed direction at walked towards it. I bent down and picked it up and read…
SORRY JUST MISSED US. ARE YOU READY TO TALK TO ONE OF THE OTHERS YET?
Oh my gosh! That flash was Bella and Edward? I don’t believe it! Whatever that was; was moving over one hundred miles an hour, it couldn’t have been them! But then I suddenly wondered if it could’ve been.
Alice



Ok, after my little outing in the forest I need to get my thoughts together…I know what I’ll do! I will make a list of everything that seems strange and unexplainable! It had been three days since the hiking trip and I was sitting at my desk with a pad of paper and a pen.
THINGS THAT ARE OFF
 Charlie, Carlisle, Esme, Emmett, Rosalie, Alice, Jasper, and Jacob weren’t crying or visibly upset.
 The feeling of someone watching me at Bella and Edwards’ grave as I placed roses.
 Bella saying ‘we are gone’ and ‘everything is gone over so I can’t say much’ in hers and Edwards will.
 The feeling of being watched at Forks High.
 The key showing up on my car when I know I left it here on my desk when I left to go to Forks High.
 The notes at Forks High.
 The flash of light shining off diamonds in the forest.
 The note in the clearing.
All of this added up to what the hell was going on. What really happened to Edward and Bella? Obviously they were still alive. But since they were still alive then why did they fake their own death?
I had too many unanswerable questions that I couldn’t keep from thinking of over and over again. I snuck into my moms’ liquor cabinet and took a bottle of Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey out. I hardly ever drink but college life rubbed off on me a little. When I’m stressed over a big test at school, it helps to calm my mind enough to concentrate if I have a glass or two. I have never gotten drunk though.
I poured me a glass on the rocks, and went into my bedroom. I lie across my bed and put on the cd Edward and Bella had left me of classical music by an unknown composer. As I listened to the melody, hoping that maybe I could figure out the composer, I thought of what the last note had said. I pulled it out and read it again.
SORRY JUST MISSED US. ARE YOU READY TO TALK TO ONE OF THE OTHERS YET?
Well reading it a second time didn’t help at all. Then I made up my mind. The only way I was going to get answers was to go talk to one of the other Cullen’s. I always got along with Edward the best but next to him it was Alice. They were the only two that I felt comfortable around. I stood up to get my shoes when I heard a car pull up. I went downstairs to the living room window and peered out.
To call the automobile sitting next to my old, used slightly beat up Lexus, a car was a vast understatement. It looked like it could literally get off the ground and fly. It was a piece of heaven painted high gloss sunflower yellow. Who do I know that drives a Porsche? I thought to myself. I don’t know anyone who drives a car like that, so who could it possibly be?
I didn’t see anyone get out of the car so I was startled when I heard a knock at the door. I went to the front door and pulled it open. It was Alice Cullen!
“I was just getting ready to come over to talk to you!”I told her.
“Yeah I know. But I thought it would be best for me to come here.” Alice replied.
“Wait, what? How did you know that?” I demanded.
“Oh, well is just that I saw that you looked really confused at the graveside service, and I have been meaning to come by and talk to you, but I have just been busy and hoped that you would just come talk to me.” Alice said.
“Did you wonder why I was so confused?” I questioned.
“Yes but I figured when you were ready to talk about it then you would find me.” Alice replied.
“Hmmmm. That’s very interesting.” I stated.
“How so?” she asked.
“Well I seem to be hearing that a lot.” I replied. Then I told her everything from the graveside service all the way to the final note in the clearing. When I was done she was eyeing me with a speculative look in her eyes.
“What? Do you think I’m making it up?”I demanded.
“No I know your not making it up Angela,” She said soothingly. “I am just wondering what conclusion all of this has made you come up with.”
“I think that you and your extended family are something ‘Other’.” I said before I could loose my nerve.
“Something ‘other’.” She repeated.
“Yes, I always thought that the way all of you moved and the way all of you looked was just ya’ll, but then at Bella and Edwards wedding, I noticed that your extended family is the exact same way.” I explained.
“I see, so you have had this opinion ever since the wedding, two years ago.” Alice clarified.
“Yes, but you are the first person that I am talking to about it to.” I told her.
“Oh, ok. Well that’s good, people would probably think you were crazy if you told them that you believed in the paranormal much less the you think the Cullen’s are something paranormal.” She said
“Yeah I don’t want to repeat what happened at school this year.” I said with my eyes down.
“What do you mean?” Alice asked sharply.
So I told her that I was switching universities next school year because I get harassed at school for talking about how if I close my eyes and concentrate on something that I have lost then something just kind of guides me to it while my eyes are closed. When I finished, I glanced up at Alice’s face afraid that she would condemn me or laugh at me.
But just as she opened her mouth to say something she spun around to the window with a growl ripping through her, and her body sinking into a crouched position in front of me. She was facing the backdoor. I heard a chuckle just before the door opened.

What Happens Now?



I stood frozen as the door opened. Whoever it was seemed to like dramatic entrances, they took forever to come through the door. A short girl came through the door. I was utterly riveted to the spot as some kind of alarm went off inside me; it said RUN for your life Angela! But as Alice had me backed against the wall, I couldn’t go anywhere…
“Straighten up Alice.” An angelic voice ordered.
I started to relax, whoever it was knew Alice so that was a good thing right?
“I didn’t expect to see you here Jane.” Alice said as she straightened up from her crouched position.
“I assure you, I didn’t expect to have to come here. It seems the Cullen’s can’t keep their mouths shut.” Jane sneered.
“What are you talking about? Who are you?” I questioned.
“Don’t speak, let me handle this Angela.” Alice whispered.
“No, no, do let her speak Alice. It is really interesting that you would tell her what we are but not who the Volturi are.” Jane stated.
“What you are? Alice hasn’t told me anything at all. I have no idea who or what you are, much less why you are here.” I told her.
This on top of all my other unanswerable questions was pushing me over the edge of sanity. My head was aching and whirling. I felt as if I was in a twelve foot deep hole and a bomb was about to explode next to me.
Alice spun around to face me and put her hands on either side of my face rubbing soothing circles on my temples.
“Just calm down Angela, breathe slowly. Sit down and put your head between your legs.” Alice said to me.
“Don’t bother Angela. We know that you already know, but if you want to deny it then we have a few ways to prove that you know.”Jane stated.
“NO!” Alice screamed.
She tried to put herself between me and Jane but just as I saw her taking the step everything was blocked out by a white hot pain slicing through my entire being. The pain was more then just in my body, it radiated through my soul. Just as I thought it was going to consume me, something changed. The pain didn’t lessen but I found that I could reflect it away from myself; I imagined holding a mirror up and facing it towards the source of the pain.
Then just as fast as the pain came it was gone and I found myself on the floor. As I picked myself up off the ground I heard Jane scream in agony and collapse. She lie on her back writhing in pain. It startled me so much so that I looked away from her to Alice as if to ask if this was her normal behavior.
When I looked away Jane’s screaming stopped and she was suddenly on her feet looking at me with death in her eyes.
“You little….”Jane screamed at me as she lunged.
“Jane dear, stop now.” A male voice said, soft but full of authority.
Jane stopped her lunge at once, but didn’t halt her glare.
“I will determine if the child knows anything.” The same male voice stated.
Annoyed I turned to Alice, “Who
