"Can I get you anything else?" I asked putting on my best 'I'm a lowly barmaid' smile.

"Naw Bells, thanks though." Catfish replied getting up. I cleared his plate away before going back to collect my tip. Catfish was nice; I had no idea what his real name was.

I headed back to the bar area and leaned against the counter; Sam was serving drinks to the only patron still here. Apparently Jane was starting early today. I felt bad for her son who'd have to pick her up later.

I glanced at Sam, "I hate the lunch shiftt. Especially on a Wednesday. There's no people and no people means no tips!" I wasn't actually mad at Sam or anything. I just like to give him shit.

Sam rolled his eyes theatrically, "You sit here and get paid by the hour. I don't want to hear it." He teased back.

"Go bite the mailman." Sam usually turned into a dog on the nights of the full moon. I always had to tease him about that.

"Talking to yourself again?"

"I don't talk to myself!" 'I talk to ghosts nobody else can see.' I added silently. He knew that of course. Haley, Nikel, Sookie, Sam and Eric were the only ones that knew.

"Whatever you say."

I glared at him half-assed, "You're mean."

"Go take your break, Bella." he faked exasperation.

Shrugging I went outside. Originally Arlene was here too but Sam sent her home since there wasn't anything to do. She's been in a real sour mood lately and bitched about everything. Sam got sick of her and away she went. With a sigh, I went out and sat on the hood of my car. The sun was blazing but it felt good. Maybe I'd tan a little after all. The thought almost made me laugh. It'd go against all laws of nature. So would not falling on my face every twenty feet.

My phone rang. Lazily I picked it up, "Hello?"

"Hey kiddo. I just wanted to check in with you."

"Hey dad. How's Sue?"

Harry, Sue's husband, died the same day my dad found me on the motorcycle. I think that was part of the reason he overreacted. He was very upset about the loss of his friend. Sue has been spending a lot of time with my dad. I think they're dating but dad hasn't said anything.

"She's fine, how have you been?"

"I'm actually on break right now. Merlottes is really slow today."

"Oh, well, I wont keep you. Uh Bells…I got a call from Alice Cullen, you remember her?" I winced how could I forget, "She really wanted to talk to you and I kind of gave her your number."

"Aw Dad!"

"I'm sorry she tricked it out of me. She's pretty crafty."

'You have no idea' I thought. Instead I said, "Its fine dad. I'll just ignore the call. I've got to go. Bye."

It wasn't exactly true, but I didn't want to talk anymore. Why would Alice want to talk to me now? She could've just…I don't have a future she can see! But why would that matter? They left me.

With my head swimming I finished my last four extremely dull hours of work. I barely said hi to Sookie before taking off for home. It was seven and the sun was just setting; the Vampires would be up soon.

When I reached home the first thing I noticed was Haley wasn't home yet. The second thing I noticed was Nikel, Haley's boyfriend, was. Groaning I left the car and went inside.

"Breaking and entering a new hobby of yours."

Nikel sat on the couch flipping channels. His Blue eyes snapped to me for a moment, "Haley gave a key so you're out of luck."

"Great now you can come over any time and eat our food." I grumbled grabbing a handful of popcorn he made.

"Hey that's mine!"

"You're like a two year old, its my kitchen. You don't pay rent here."

He turned back to the T.V not having a response. Nikel and I had two things in common: we both drove Mustangs and we both loved Haley. Other than that we were in an all out war.

Nikel was a shape-shifter, like Sam. I didn't know what he turned into usually though. The guy was huge, almost as tall as Jake, around six feet. His hair was Black with tips dipped in Blue. I wondered if the dye carried over when he changed. He wasn't exactly tan but he wasn't pale like Haley and me. He was nicely muscled, too bad he was so damn annoying.

"Wow both of you are still alive." Haley teased coming in through the kitchen doorway. Apparently she came in around back.

"She ate my popcorn!"

"He stole our popcorn!"

Haley muttered under her breath leaving to go change. Nikel got up to follow her. They had 10 minutes to return before I left to save my innocent ears.

My thoughts wandered back to Alice. I closed my eyes, Ugh! What would she want from me, its been a year and a half since I've seen or spoke to her.

"You look stressed."

I opened one eye to see Rissa in front of me. The ghost with a knife in her chest was really sweet…if not a little creepy. The first time I saw her I screamed and fainted. After a few months I was used to her.

"I'm just tired."

She nodded sympathetically. I don't think she really remembers her human life but tried to make me feel better. Either way she was a sweet heart only looking fourteen years old.

"Please tell me theres a ghost in here and you're not talking to yourself." Nikel taunted waltzing back in.

"Funny most people say just the opposite."

"Come on you two…behave." Haley pleaded. Rissa, not liking other people, disappeared.

I sighed. Haley came to sit next to me. Wrapping an arm around me asked me what was wrong. Warily I told her about my dad's phone call. Her and Nikel knew all about the Cullens.

"Want me to buy you a new phone and number?" Nikel asked seriously.

I laughed he always had a stupid solution. Haley shook her head as well.

"If she calls I think you should answer. It'll be the only way you'll know what she wants."

"Haley, honey, haven't you ever heard of voicemail."

"Oh my…I think Nikel has a point. Hell has frozen. Someone call the hospital." I muttered.

"Fine, do what you want." Was all she said.

My reply was cut off by my phone ringing.

"Alice?" Haley asked.

I glanced down at the number, "Eric." I flipped open the device, "Yes, Eric?"

"Actually, its Pam."

"Oh so high and mighty can't make his own phone calls?"

"No. I contacted Sookie. You and her will be coming to Fangtasia after close. We have some matters to discuss."

"Damn." I groaned, "Fine."

"Bring Damon." She hung up. Those Vampires…sheesh. They assumed I could call a ghost whenever I wished. I don't know maybe I can but so far they come to me randomly. Damon has no qualms doing spy work and he's good at it. He also has no problems working for/with Vampires.

"I have to go to Fangtasia with Sook after close." I explained to the two next to me.

"I told you not to get mixed up with them."

"Yes mother, sorry." I snapped, "I know you're trying to protect me but I want to make my own mistakes. It's the only way I'll live with myself." I headed for the door. I know I upset her but Haley's only 22, she's not that much older than me.

I jumped into my car and headed for Sookie's house. I parked in her driveway and grabbed my flashlight. With a moment to gather myself I got out and headed for the cemetery. I hated doing this but it's the best place to find a ghost.

"Damon!" I called out. Hell if anyone saw me, Sookie wouldn't seem so crazy.

"You screamed?" Damon appeared next to me. I jumped about a foot away and tripped over a grave.

"Ow…stupid ghosts. Damn it, Damon. I just came to tell you Eric requests your presence tonight around 2:30."

"He can't see me anyways. Tell him I'm there."

"Damon! I'm bad at lying."

"Fine I'll see you there, sheesh." He rolled his eyes as he disappeared. With a sigh I turned to leave.

"What are you doing in a graveyard?" A voice behind me asked.

I spun around shocked, "Jesus, Bill, someone seriously should put a cowbell around you guys."

"You didn't answer my question."

"Its none of your business. I'm here under Eric's orders."

That shut him up. With a smirk I turned to head home. Might as well sleep before leaving. It was going to be a long night.

My phone rang as I started my car to get the hell out of the graveyard. A number I didn't recognize popped up on the screen. Alice. Yep, its going to be a long night.

I know the stories going kind of slowly. I'm hoping it will speed up when the Cullens come into play. Review!
