Chapter 2- Cops and Robbers
"Bella!" Alice yelled my way. I was at Edward's door, about to go in. I hadn't seen Edward this morning, so I drove (very fast) in my new Porsche to his house.
"Yes?" I asked, starting to open the door again.
"No, wait!" Alice hurtled herself at me, knocking me against the wall.
"Hey! What's going on?" I got up from under Alice and straightened my shirt.
"Oh, nothing." Alice said cheerfully and bounced up, but she looked too honest. "Let's go shopping! I really think you need some new clothes."
"Is that an insult?" I asked, but I was kidding, "And anyways, you have bought me everything in the world. I don't want you spending anymore time and money on me!" I turned and started to open the door.
"Wait! Don't!" She grabbed my hand and pulled me toward the steps. But as she dragged me, I remembered I had extreme strength, just like her. I started pushing off of her and she looked surprised at my forcefulness but she soon started pulling me down the steps. If you were watching us, you would have thought this was an odd scene. I was using my arms on the step above my head, trying to pull myself up. Alice had one of my feet, pulling me with all her strength down the stairs. At times, we would start breaking out in laughter, just because of how stupid we looked, but soon, our laughing fits would end and we would be back to pulling and pushing.
"Alice, please let me go." I said as I gasped for breath (habit.)
"No! We are going shopping!" She yelled at me and started laughing again, for not particular reason.
"Alice, trust me, I need to see Edward." I said. I saw Alice's body stiffened, in the way most people looked as I used my power against them. I relaxed and put my head back, sighing loudly. But there was a sudden jolt and I was flying down the stairs. I saw Alice's face, ecstatic as usual, but now full of energy and happiness.
"Alice!" I yelled, unhappy that she had fought my influence. We were down stairs in seconds and soon in Alice's car. She started the engine, ignoring my pout and arms crossed across my chest.
"That was totally unfair!" I said as she drove 120 mph.
"No, what is unfair is that you try to manipulate me like that in a fight!" Alice beamed, seeing I had lost the fight. From what Edward had told me, using your powers was strictly forbidden in fights. It made it a lot fairer, but I didn't want to be fair!
"It was a life or death situation." I smiled at her, trying to give her an explanation for breaking the rules. I could never be angry with Alice for more than five minutes. Even during our struggle on the steps, I found her to be funny and still my best friend.
"Whatever…" She muttered, but I saw something in her eyes that made me think. Why had she been set on not letting me go into Edward's room?
"Alice…" I started to say, but she put her hand on top of my mouth.
"Nope, I'm not saying anything! I can't say anything!" She said. I stuck my tongue out, trying to lick her hand to disgust her. I saw her face as she felt my slimy tongue, it was sickened in a way, but she didn't move her hand.
"Alice, come on!" I pleaded, my voice muffled against her hand.
"No, don't even try talking me out of this. I'm not giving in. So, let's just forget about it and shop!" I saw her face light up as she said her favorite word. Shop.
I just sighed and laid my head back. Alice removed her hand, seeing I wasn't going to try to integrate her. But that wasn't the end of it…

"No, Alice!" I yelled in front of the kinky-looking lingerie store. "I have come here, let you buy me a clothes costing as much as a small country, and now you want me to buy underwear with you?" I threw my bags down, showing I wouldn't do this.
"Bella, come on. You are making a scene." Alice whispered in a quiet, fast voice so no one else could here.
"Trust m…" I was about to say, but Alice slapped me across the face, to my astonishment. I just stood there, staring wide-eyed at her. You aren't supposed to hit people!
"Sorry, but that was the only way to shut you up!" She whispered as she dragged my bags and me into the store called Cops and Robbers. Oh god, what have I gotten myself into?
"Okay, but I'm not going willingly." I stated as she walked into the store. She went straight to the lacey thongs and started looking at them. I stood behind her and looked around the store. There were bars (like of that of a jail cell) painted on all the walls. Hanging off the walls were different things. I stepped closer to see what they were. First, I saw handcuffs with pink feathery stuff on them. I gaped and blushed horribly. Next to the handcuffs, there was a whip. Oh my gosh! This was a weird store.
"Alice, I don't think…" I started to walk over to Alice but she was right next to me with thongs in hand. She was putting one up to me, checking to make sure it looked good on me. I put my head in my hands, tremendously embarrassed.
"This one will look good with your skin color." She informed me, sticking a hot pink thong with a very small skirt on it up to my body. Sorta like a tutu, but way smaller. The skirt part was all lace.
"Alice, I can't wear that. I will never wear that!" I said to her. She was already in the bra section, picking out something to match.
"You will tonight." Alice whispered extremely quietly. I guess she forgot I was a vampire and I could hear her, but that didn't concern me at the moment. What was happening? She was defiantly keeping something away from me!
"Alice?" I said, rage slowly creeping up my chest, ready to explode. If I had been human, I would have had my anger tears rolling down my face by now.
"Mm hmm?" Alice said, looking at another "article of clothing" that was hot pink.
"Tell me." I said simply. She knew what I was talking about.
"No." She said. This was going to be hard.
"No? Tell me!" I threw the bra out of her hand and whorled her around to look me straight in the eyes.
"I can't. Don't use your powers, you are going to ruin the surprise." She said quickly, but put her hand over her mouth when she realized she said too much.
"Surprise?" I contemplated what could be happening. Edward's room off limits, lingerie, and Alice all giddy? What could all this mean? I still didn't understand. I saw Alice smile as she saw a confused look on my face.
"Good, you have no idea." She said curtly and ran (human pace) to wear I had thrown the bra. "Okay, ready to leave?" She asked with the two undergarments in her hand. I mindlessly nodded, still trying to figure this out.
Once we were out of the notorious Cops and Robbers store, Alice and I went back to her car. She drove fast, which was okay to me now. I enjoyed going so fast that my life was on the line, except it wasn't. If I crashed, I would be able to walk away without one scratch! So, even if I couldn't die, it was still the feeling that counted.
We got to the huge, beautiful house and Alice took all the bags and ran at lightning speed to her gigantic bathroom. I went even faster, wanting to see Edward finally. But as I ran past Alice's door, she grabbed my arm, making me fall backward.
"Huh?" I asked, but she just smiled and pulled me into the bathroom.
"Edward! Stay out of my head." Alice screamed toward Edwards's room upstairs. I looked at her questionably and then heard a loud growl come from Edwards's room. Alice giggled and sat me down on a chair. This only reminded me of the last time she used me as her own personal Barbie.
"Alice, I don't think I want to do this again." I started to get up, but she shoved me back down.
"Nope." She insisted and I sat down again, knowing she wouldn't let me out of this room without a scar or two (but vampires can't get scars, but she wouldn't let me out without a good fight.)
Alice looked at me and then started to poke at my new vampire-shiny hair.
"You know, the change didn't change your looks that much. Just your eyes." She commented. I remembered when the pain of the change had stopped and I had looked into the mirror. I had been disappointed. I looked like average Bella, nothing extraordinary. Like Rosalie or Alice. Of course, Edward told me I was always beautiful, but he was totally biased!
"Is that a bad thing?" I asked as she touched my hair.
"No, I like it. Except your hair, it is so stunning. Gosh, I wish had that soft of hair." She admired me. I just shrugged, not caring at all. I closed my eyes and waited for the brushing and curling to begin. "I'm going to go with the natural look." Alice finally said. I looked up at her; so thankful I wouldn't have to go through all that again.
"Wait here." She said as she ran out the bathroom into her bedroom. She came back with two bags from our shopping trip. One was the small bag from the Cops and Robbers place and another was from an actual clothing store. She took out the embarrassing underwear and set them on the sink counter. She then started digging through the clothes in the other bag. She finally resurfaced with a pair of faded, cute jeans and a shirt that was half-sleeved. The shirt was white with three small light orange stripes in the middle.
"Okay, so you wear these," She gave me the underwear, "Under these." She then gave me the clothes. I looked at her, hoping she was kidding, but she just shook her head and walked out of the bathroom. I took off all my clothes and put on the Cops and Robbers "clothing." I felt ridiculous. Yes, I did feel ridiculous, but I had to admit the color looked perfect for my skin. It fitted perfectly, which was not surprising since Alice and I had been shopping together for a while now. But after I put my shirt on, (which looked great, by the way!) I looked at my pants. How was I going to be able to fit those over of my tutu? Gosh, I never thought I would be thinking that sentence in my life! The jeans looked as if they were tight at the thighs, loosening toward the end. But instead of arguing with Alice, I put it on. I usually found she was right. To my surprise, the jeans fit perfectly on top of the underwear. It didn't look bulky or anything!
"Are you done yet?" I heard Alice yell from her room, her impatient, babyish voice made me giggle.
"Yes, come in." I said. She immediately bolted through the door.
"Wow, you look great." She said, circling me, "What do you think about the underwear?" Alice winked at me and raised her neatly cropped eyebrows.
"Um…" I smiled slyly, not wanting to say she was right, "They were…okay." I finally said.
"They look great, don't they?" She smiled and hugged me. She then quickly went to the corner and came back with a pair of shoes. They were flip-flops. I don't think I have seen flip-flops since I moved to Forks! If I could have cried of happiness, I would have.
"Alice." I said, touched. She put the simple black shoes on the floor and I put my feet through them. "Thank you." I hugged her with all my stregnth, and I felt her a little surprised. Did no one remember I was a vampire?
"Okay, now you can go to Edward's room." She said. I smiled, not sure what was happening yet. But I wasn't thinking about that because I hadn't seen Edward in 24 hours and I was dieing. I ran up the steps as fast as I could. When I got to Edward's door, I stopped. I started thinking about the day's events and I was a bit anxious about what was happening behind this door. But the need to see Edward was much stronger and won over me. I knocked on the door.
"Come in." Edward's soft voice answered. I opened the door slowly. I was shocked! His room looked so different.
