June 20, 1976
Through the years since that first vision, Alice had continued to look, trying to see anything at all about the woman I was apparently going to marry. There was nothing new, but the original vision continued to hold firm. My room, no matter where we lived, was nearly papered over with drawings and paintings of that amazing look at my future. I first put pencil to paper when Esme asked for particulars of what Alice and I had seen. That initial sketch led to many others in acrylic, watercolor, oils and pastels. As hairstyles and fashions changed around us, we've all referred back to those sketches, and we can see the time hasn't arrived yet.
Today Alice rushed to me while we were all out in the woods enjoying a celebration hunt for my birthday. Her mind was in chaos as she flung herself into my arms. Jasper was close behind her and he was smiling at me. "For your birthday…" she whispered and opened her mind completely to me. I was standing in a sunny meadow filled with wild flowers. Several buttons were undone on my blue shirt. The sun was shining as I tipped my head back and the rays glinted off of my skin. A young woman approached me and lightly touched my cheek, her hand skimming down my throat, coming to rest where my silent heart lay.
The perspective suddenly shifted and I found myself staring down into brown eyes, deep chocolate with flecks of gold at the edges. A slow blink and the viewpoint drew back to where I could see her heart shaped face. She was lovely and she was smiling at me as her lips formed my name...Edward.
The vision faded and Alice squealed loudly which drew the rest of the family from the woods around us. We shared the details of the vision and Esme rushed us back to the house to sketch the face of my beloved.
Emmett asked for a sketch for himself, one that showed both of us. I was quite shocked that he'd want one, but I gave it to him gladly. I should have known by the fact that he was singing Afternoon Delight by the Starland Vocal Band that he was up to no good. He returned shortly with the sketch and flipped it down onto the desk before me. Mounds of silver glitter flew everywhere as it hit the flat surface. The part of the picture that featured me was obliterated by glue and glitter.
As he had flown out of the front door with me in hot pursuit, he had yelled back over his shoulder that he had wanted the sketch to be true to life. For just a moment I let him think he was getting away, but I was really just letting him have a head start. He needed one. Then I was after him like a shot. We still have no clue as to when this will happen, or who she is, but I now have more inspiration for my walls and hope is still holding strong in my heart.
