What She's Forgotten by blood-and-chocolate

Read the Story on Twilighted here.

Who is the only main character in the saga who isn’t given a past? Alice. With her amazingly upbeat personality, Alice probably makes everyone’s top ten list for fictional characters that we’d most like as a best friend. And yet, the only glimmer that we get into Alice’s past is a dark and threatening hint from James that he is the one who turned her after her parents discarded her in a mental institution. Of all of the characters, Alice deserved a past as she is always giving everyone their future.

Blood-and-chocolate gives Alice her past in her delightful story, What She’s Forgotten. This story is carefully researched and beautifully written. We start seeing Alice through her baby sister’s eyes. Cynthia is two years younger than Alice and dearly loves her older sister. We get to see the circumstances that led this one happy family to suddenly give up their child to the dark world of the institution. We travel with Alice as she meets Eliot, the strange doctor who seems to be her only ray of sunshine within the dark walls of the institution. And we watch as Alice’s character develops from scared and frightened little girl into the woman that we all know and love.

This story is a definite must-read for all of he pre-Twilight fans out there. With the darker themes of the institution as well as some mild language and violence, this story is rated PG-13 on Twilighted. You will not be disappointed!
