Before the Cullens, Mary Alice lived a tragic life. With loss, torture and heartbreak, she learns to trust others while healing from the pain of her past. ~ Thank you for taking the time to read this fic, it's my first time writing about the Cullens and Alice's back story had always intrigued me. I'm having a lot of fun researching, a lot of my content may not be 100% accurate but I will try to the best of my ability! As always, trigger warnings for MH, ABUSE (medical and physical), SA and torture.
