Chapter two

Alice's POV

Nessie was really excited about her party - which is good, because I was the one who decorated everything. But of course all the credit goes to Edward, bla bla bla...

"Stop sulking, Alice" he said from behind me. "We all know that I could never do anything this elaborate."

I turned around. Edward grinned at me, his arm around Bella. Nessie was still over with Jacob.

I sighed. "Yeah, well, it'd be nice to have a little appreciation once in a while" I said, making myself sound sad.

Jasper heard that from across the field, of course, and was behind me in a second. He put his arms around my waist and kissed my ear.

"You know we all appreciate you" he whispered.

I laughed and hugged him. "I know. Still, it's nice to have reminders every once in a while" I said.

In my mind, our carefree laughter was interrupted. My eyes fogged over, and my mind went blank. I dropped the glass with the drink I had been holding, and was sucked into the vision.

It was dark. "Mom, Dad, don't leave me!" Nessie cried, her voice distant. I realized I was seeing through Bella's eyes. She was in a dark place somewhere, restrained against the wall. Edward was lying on the floor - unconscious? A creepy laugh echoed from the gloom, and piercing red eyes were illuminated.

"Alice? What is it, Alice?" Jasper asked urgently.

I escaped the vision and looked around. Edward, Bella, and Jasper were crowded around me. I was lying on the couch in the living room, away from the party. My head pounded as if from a massive hangover, but I'd had nothing to drink.

"Is... is Nessie okay?" I asked.

Bella nodded. "Yeah, she's with Jake" she said.

"Okay, good" I sighed, sinking into the couch with relief.

"What did you see, Alice?" Jasper asked again.

Edward looked just as confused as I felt. "I don't know" I said. "It was dark... Edward was unconscious... Nessie was far away... and Bella was tied up somehow. I don't know."

Jasper frowned, sitting down beside me. He put his arm around my shoulder and held me close. "It's okay" he murmured. "It probably means nothing."

Edward and Bella nodded, agreeing with him. I nodded slowly, still unsure.

"Come on. Let's go enjoy the party, at least for Nessie's sake" Bella said.

We stood and headed back outside, and I soon forgot the vision.
