"Bella, Rose, Alice are you ready yet?" Yelled Esme from the bottom of the stairs. We were on our way to the little welcome party that the hospital was having for Carlisle. Of course I would have been ready half an hour ago if Alice hadn't freaked when she saw my jeans and sneakers. I mean it wasnt like I was wearing ratty jeans and bo bo's. But Alice wouldn't have it.

"Just a minute Esme." Answered Alice. She spritzed my hair one more time and admired her work. She insisted on dolling us all up even though this was just a little party in a small town hospital. I glanced in the mirror decided that this look was just fine and rushed out of her chair and down the stairs nearly tackling Jasper on the way down.

Whoa Hells Bells wheres the fire? Jasper thought.

"Shes upstairs in your room I thought I should escape before I spontaneously combusted." He just smiled and shook his head.

"Oh my dear sweet sister Bella, relax you know its not that bad and you look beautiful." Said Alice as she came walking down the stairs.

"Really Alice not that bad. When you do me up like this I feel ridiculous. Plus aren't we trying to not draw attention to ourselves." She just stood there with her sneaky smile and blocked her mind. So I took that as my cue to walk away. "I will meet you guys there. I'm taking my car." I could hear Esme asking Jasper what was wrong with my but got out of there fast enough to not have to suffer the answer. I knew I had been being unnecessarily crabby but I just couldn't shake this feeling that things were about to change for me in this town. It would be nice if Alice could give me a straight answer. Instead I get her little cryptic remarks like 'all will be reviled in good time' or 'good things come to those who wait' or 'patience is a virtue'. So I am forced to wait.

They pulled in just three minutes after me. I took a deep breath, grabbed my bag, and followed them to the large conference room that had been redecorated for the party. There were streamers here and there and little buffet of what looked like homemade dishes and a 3 pitchers of punch with those little plastic cups. I glanced at Alice with an I told you so look.

So maybe we are a little over dressed. No big deal. She thought. Listening in on the towns folk I could see that it wasn't a huge deal but we did make quite the impression. There thoughts ranged from. Wow there so beautiful, or they look so rich, or holy shit look at the blonde like to get her bent over my table. I tried my best to ignore that one for the rest of the night. Carlisle kept a close eye on me for the whole night. Trying to see if this town would be safe for all of us. If people get even the slightest bit suspicious we would have to leave and make other plans. Just as Alice said the night went great. Some of these people seemed pretty sweet in that small comfy town sort of way. Some were a little jealous and thought we would swoop in and steal their husbands and wives. Some just thought we seemed like a nice family even if we were a little strange. Some admired Carlisle and Esme for taking us all in. Mixed feelings but nothing seemed too worrisome.

For the last half hour of the party Alice kept looking around and searching the room like she was looking for someone or waiting for something to happen. Still keeping her mind on other random nonsense things so I couldn't get a peak. For the past four days she has been having these strange visions that really weren't complete. Its like as soon as it would start she would push it away then run off on some errand and come back with a sly smile on her face. I just kept seeing flashes of these vibrant green eyes.

When we were saying our thank yous and goodbyes Alice looked very disappointed and Jasper was getting the same vibe from her. When I got to my car Alice just looked at me and scanned the parking lot. A car was pulling in the drive way and her smile brightened but it pulled off to the visitors parking lot and her smile fell. Everyone else was in the car but she was refusing so just to be safe I stayed by my door. I was just about to ask her what the issue was when I smelt it. A shiny silver Volvo pulled in and was heading right towards us. The passenger side window was down and the scent coming out that window was intoxicating. My eyes rolled in the back of my head as it came closer. It was like everything was in slow motion. I grabbed onto the side of my car to hold myself back. I could feel my fingers bending the metal of my door frame. Normally that would be at the forefront of my mind but that scent. That blood. I wanted it. I have felt the thirst for well over 100 years but never like this. Jasper felt it too and held his breath and came to my side and grabbed my arm, pulled my hand from the door but never letting go of me. I inhaled again and felt that searing burn in my throat. Venom filled my mouth and my muscles tensed seeing the car come closer. Then I saw those eyes and that face. I shocked my out of my thirst filled hunger. Those bright beautiful green eyes. I had never been able to see the face but those eyes that I had been thinking over ever since I saw them in Alice's incomplete vision. Jasper took that moment of shock to push me in the car and slide me to the passenger side and he hopped in the drives seat and snatched my keys from my hand. I barely noticed because I was looking at the car driving by. The most beautiful man I had ever seen was looking at me curiously. I tried to focus on his thoughts but to my surprise I heard nothing. I sat in my passenger seat not saying a word. I was in total shock. He handed me his thermos of blood and I just sat there slowly sipping it, I didnt even notice that we were home until Jasper spoke. First trying to reach me with his thoughts but I couldnt even speak.

"Bella... Bella what happened back there?" He stopped waiting for me to say something but I was still trying to make sense of what just happened myself. "Bella talk to me please." He asked pleadingly.

"I have no idea." I paused trying to focus but all I could feel was the thirst. "I need to hunt. I'm okay now I'll be back."

"Yeah right Bella, after that fiasco I am coming with you. I need to hunt now too."

I took my keys from him and hid them in the little compartment I had made in the back and we both took off into the woods. At first all I could do was run. The wind in my hair, the various scents of the forest filling my nose washing away the smell of the green eyed man. His perfect jaw line and kissable lips. His unkempt hair that was a perfect mixture of brown and gold. I stopped dead in my tracks. What the hells wrong with me I thought to myself. Jasper came to a stop behind me and put a hand on my shoulder. I grabbed him by his wrist and flipped him around in a maneuverer that would have broken his wrist and maybe his arm had he been human. Being a vampire he just shook it off.

"Bella whats wrong with you? Your emotions are all over the place. You seem so confused and frustrated. You need to talk to me. I'm worried." He said dusting the dirt and leaves of his clothes.

"I dont know OKAY. First Alice is having these strange incomplete visions. I try asking her what they are about but she shuts me down. You know how she is." I paused gathering my thoughts but only being successful at getting more pissed off. "How could she not tell me about this. What if I attacked him in the parking lot? What if I killed him? What if I pulled back and he started to change? Anything could have happened?"

He cut me off saying "Bella she saw what would happen. She would never put anyone at risk like that."

"Her visions are based of decisions. We all know that last minute choices change the visions. DAMN IT the man in the car he smelled so good. Even being out here with some of my favorite smells in the world I cant get it out of my head. I mean I love this forest. I always have. I grew up here and loved it here. I died here and being in these woods has always cleared my head. Whenever you guys piss me off or start in on each other I always come here."

"You still came here even when we left that last time?" He sounded so surprised. I though him of all people would have guessed that this is where I came.

"Yeah I come here often. Just to the woods I never go into town. I'm not that stupid."

But what about the..

I cut him off right there I knew exactly what he was going to ask. "Don't worry there have never been any issues or run ins with anyone besides the occasional mountain lion. Look thats enough talk I really just want to hunt and get back and just chill out. I know Esme isnt going to want me going to school tomorrow if I am still all wound up." He knew that was the truth so he just let me go on and hunt alone. He got out of my range so all I would have in my head were my own thoughts. Which could seem to stray from the thoughtless man with green eyes.

I know this has taken longer than I planned but I have some shotty internet so I apologize.

Please leave me a review :)
