My first attempt at fanfic was a one shot from Alice's POV of her thoughts leading up to Edward and Bella's wedding for a fanfic contest.  Alice's has always been my favorite character apart from Edward and Bella themselves, and ever since I wrote that one shot, Alice's chirpy voice has been in the back of my head begging me to write her whole story.  So here it is, Alice's story from the beginning in her own words.

This story was begun before the Illustrated Guide was published, and I have deliberately not read it so that I can write the story that is in MY head.  So, although this was started as an in canon story, it may end up straying from canon slightly as I tell the story as I imagined it.  I hope you'll understand and enjoy it all the same.

To whom it may concern:

As I understand it, the blossoming of conscience intellect is such that at any given time, a scenario can be interpreted in a myriad of different ways. As you may—or may not—be aware, Bella had a story to tell.

She told it.

It is at this point that the aforementioned scenario comes into play. In the spring term of 2008, I met Bella swan for the first time. In 2012, three years after her change, a horrific incident occurred. This event was so traumatic, so life-altering, that it broke my sweet angel.

Had it not been for the unparalleled cognitive prowess of our kind I might not have been able to save her. When she awoke, the reality of our past together had been altered so that she forgot the events of the most bloody vampire war ever recorded in the annals of Volterra.

Now, three centuries later, I think I am ready to explain what really happened. Please be aware: this is not the story Bella told. It is fraught with violence, sex, torture, death but most of all—it explains in excruciating detail the story of how my angel pulled me back from the bowels of hell and the brink of insanity.

Here it is.

One handful.

Our story.

—Edward Anthony Cullen

After fighting for fifty-five years, Edward returned to the one place he could call home. Jaded and angry, he festered in his own damnation, hating Carlisle for his forgiveness and mercy. One day – in August of 2008 – Edward met a soul that was, quite possibly, more broken than he was. In that second, Edward resolved to save this human…no matter the cost. Fighting his bloodlust, struggling to regain his humanity and attempting control a new gift, Edward attempted to forge a new relationship with a human who had awakened the humanity which had lain dormant within him.

But not all is well in Forks. A new war is brewing in the vampire world. Unexpectedly, just as his relationship with Bella came to fruition, Edward was thrown back into the world of violence, corruption and greed in the worst way possible.  With the help of one lone human, The Cullen alliance must face and defeat the most powerful force that the vampire world had ever seen. Now, amongst the war and death that is ravishing the world around him, Edward and Bella must make a choice.

Salvation or Damnation?

THANK YOU SO MUCH TO m81170 FOR THE BEAUTIFUL BANNER!

Edward was looking to start over when he moved to New York to stay with his cousin Emmett. Bella was looking for a whole new life when she met Alice. What happens when their two worlds collide, and an unexpected connection threatens to expose the truth?

Death is often seen as the end of your life's journey. What if for Charlie and Bella it was merely the beginning.

"Death is a universal obligation. It does not matter what sex, race, or religion we are. It does not matter how much money we have. It does not matter what we have accomplished in our lives. Death is the inevitable "debt" we incur the moment we are born. It can bankrupt the entire accumulation of our experience at any time."

It has been said before but my one testament for the world is that it never be underestimated or understated - Please, if nothing else in your life, understand - Love conquers all. ExB. AU.

To escape the bitter, harsh realities of her life, Bella uses her imagination to blur the edges and "pretend" her world is more desirable. But when her fantasies bring her to a mysterious house in the woods, her games of make-believe take a sudden and supernatural turn and her life is forced in a direction she never could have imagined.

Slightly OOC.

Warning: This story contains rape.

Summary: When I first caught her scent, I turned my wanting into hate. Later, as my cold yet sparkling hand touched her warm flesh, sunlight streamed through the trees making her skin glow as golden as the sun. Bella was an immortal. It was the day that secrets were spilled and lives changed forever. I had at last found a reason for my eternal life, someone who understood my pain.

Bella is beginning her first year as a doctoral student in biology at the University of Washington, in the lab of Dr. Carlisle Cullen.  She thinks she's going to identify how snake venom poisons prey, but as she delves deeper into her experiment she realizes that she's stumbled onto something far more sinister.

Bella Swan is reunited with her high school crush Edward Masen at his mother's funeral. However, his mother has a plan to see them together even from beyond the grave. Will they be able to fulfil her dying request, or will their stubbornness seep through?

OOC, AU Human, Canon couples.

He's lost, alone, and has no direction. His life has turned into a dark, endless tunnel. The same darkness that enveloped him the day she was ripped from his world. Without Alice, he feels he is left with nothing to live for; he has no reason to even try. 

Then, at the end of the tunnel, a small flame ignites. 

Hope. 

But for Jasper Whitlock, there is one thing he must experience first.
