I smiled at Mandy, It was pretty amazing that Jared already had a job but that was just Jared. When we were kids he would be drawing while the rest of the kids were outside playing. I always wanted to be like him and then I realized I could draw too. Some people even said I was better than Jared but I don't believe that, He was seriously talented.
I glanced around, feeling like I was being watched and noticed the guy from first hour and I assume his brother considering they had the same pale skin, here starring at me. Okay creepy!
I looked back at my table and started talking to Kelly, A friend I met last year through Alice Cooper.
"Hey Kelly have you heard from Alice lately? I heard she is moving to california" When I said Alice, Kelly looked over to the table that the guy Emmett was sitting at,
"No we haven't talked since she left" She said looking back at her food. Which reminded me that I hadn't eaten any of my food yet. I looked down as well and picked up my pizza, while reaching into my backpack. as I took a bite everyone at the table started laughing.
"What?" I said sitting my book down and looking at Mandy
"Well it's your first day back to school and you're already reading a book." Mandy said laughing and grabbing money from Tom. I looked at her with my eyebrow lifted
"You bet on me?"
"No, Not on you on your book I told everyone that you would be reading one of your vampire novels. I was so right!"
"That is so wrong, Stop betting on me or I'll find some new friends!"I said in mock anger " And I'll have you know that I was reading this before I even left England so now I have to finish it. It is Charlene's Favorite"
The bell rang and everyone jumped up trying to make sure they get to class on time. I sat back in my chair and sighed.
"Ella aren't you going to be late for class?" Mandy asked stopping by my chair.
"No I have Commons now." I said smiling at her."
"Oh, cool so do you still have art 8th hour?"
"Yeah I would never let them take me out of art." My smile turned into a grin.
"Great see you then."
"Bye" I finished off my lunch and picked my book back up.
"I can tell you how it ends" I jumped at the voice, it sounded like an angel. I looked up and found that I was right this had to be an angel. She had short spikey black hair and an almost child like face and was barley 4'10". "Hi I'm Alice Cullen"
"Um, hi I'm Ella Weston." I said only stumbling over my words a little.
"So you were in England? How did you like it? Because when I was there It was amazing."
"You've been to England?"
"Oh yeah I go all the time, the winters are the best. Everything is so white and new." She said smiling.
"That was my favorite time of year too, Even with taking care of my aunt it was the best time of my life."
"Oh that's too bad about your aunt, is she all better now?"
"Yeah when I left she was talking about going to some mountain to ski or something." I said laughing
"Well She'll have fun" Alice said with a big smile.
"Yeah I'm sure she will" I knew she would be fine, because I havn't had a vision of her. They flashed into my head at horrible times, and did they make up for it by giving me winning lottery numbers? No They made it worse because everytime I had a vision of someone they ended up dead not too long after.
"You sound so sure" Alice said, She had a odd sound to her voice.
"I am." I said, then blurted out my deepest secret. " I have visions, I see the past"
"Really? That is amazing, you can see the past, wait how do you know they aren't just memories?"
"Once I was talking to my grandpa Jonah, who I had only met twice before and all of a sudden I was in a different place I looked around but didn't know where I was" I swallowed and noticed my throat was dry so I took a drink of water be for comtinuing. " I was in the attic of a house and there were two other people there. They were both about twenty and they were talking '"Jonah, I have news" said the women
"What is it Margeret, What did the doctor say?" the old man looked nervous but also excited.
"Carlisle says that we're going to have a baby. He even predicted that it's a little boy! We're going to have our little Jensen." Margeret said blissfully as Jonah pulled her into his arms.
"Oh the lord has blessed us this day, I have something for you margeret. I hoped that it would be good news so I made this for you." He said and he pulled something out of his pocket." by then I had stepped closer wanting to see the faces of my grandmother and grandfather, I looked to see what Jonah held out to Margeret. It was a locket, she opened it up and there was an inscription inside it said: To Margeret, Love of my life and mother of my child. You are the other half of my soul and the holder of my heart, Love Jonah.
All of a sudden I blinked my eyes and I was sitting in front of my grandpa again, barely a minute had past but it felt longer. I looked at him and asked him about the locket and his eyes flashed in surprise and asked me how I knew about it, I told him my mom or dad must have told me about it once. He told me that wasn't possible because neither one of them knew about it because Grandma Margeret had been buried with it when she died of complications during child birth.
I looked at Alice and I could see shock in her face,
"Grandpa never told anyone about the locket because everytime he spoke about it, he would break down. So I told him the truth about how I knew about it and he told me it was a very special gift and I had to protect it... A month later he died." I wiped tears away from my eyes and tried to smile. "It's my fault he's dead."
"That is so sad that you lost him but I don't understand how it is your fault."
"That's because I havn't told you the most important part. When I have visions, One of the people in them end up dead soon afterwards."
"That's just silly" Alice waved her hand in denial.
"It's true, At first I didn't notice it. But a year later I was sitting in the backyard of my friend Stacy's house and I had a vision of her losing her cell phone in the pool, a few minutes later she couldn't find it and I told her to check the pool, she dived in to get it as I went inside to grab a soda... When I came back out she was floating in the water face down. She had hit her head on the side of the pool as she was getting out."
"That still doesn't mean that you'r visions always result in death."
"Those aren't the only times... There were three others before I turned sixteen. and one more a month after my seventeenth birthday. It's the truth, I murder people with my visions."
