I was stunned to say the least. Out of all the people in the world, Bella had to go and friends with another vampire. She really is a danger magnet.

"But I'm like you. I don't drink human blood. So I won't hurt Bella, or anyone." Sage's voice was like a mix of Rosalie and Esme's voices.

I had many questions for this new vampire. So did my family, who were now crowded around us. Their thoughts were suspicious and nervous. "How long have you been a vampire?"

"A few years."

"A how long have you been without a human?" Carlisle's calm voice asked.

"About a year and a half."

"How can you hide your thoughts from me?" I was eager to know. So was Bella who looked completely relaxed.

"Well, I was changed by Victoria, hoping I would fight with her. While I was a newborn I heard of how I could live on animal blood, also of the Cullens. I wanted to embrace your way of life. I wanted to meet you. Victoria also warned me of the mind reader Edward. She showed me how to block my thoughts so you could not hear them."

"How did she know how to block her thoughts?"

"I'm not sure."

"Do you have any abilities?" Emmett couldn't resist. He'd been wondering it in his thoughts.

Sage hesitated, as if she were embarrassed. "No."

"It's okay." Alice chimed.

I still wasn't convinced. "Sage, will you excuse me? I must have a word alone with Alice."

"Of course."

I ran out of the house, with Alice close by my side. We ran until we were out of vampire earshot.

"Why didn't you see her coming?"

Her pixie- like face wrinkled with thought. "Maybe it has something to do with being able to block her thoughts from you." Alice suggested.

"Possibly but that doesn't explain how-." Just then Jasper appeared.

He looked worried. "I can't feel her emotions. Only a faint touch, to small to make out."

"She sounds like she has good intentions," Alice voiced.

"We ran back to the house to see Sage had put her contacts back in, and she and Bella were sitting on the couch discussing Wuthering Heights, Bella's favorite book. Rosalie and Emmett must be out hunting.

"I'm curious to where you are living." Carlisle said politely.

"I just got in town yesterday. I got a job as a waitress, so I can afford an apartment."

"Until then, you are welcome to stay here," Esme offered.

"Are you sure?"

This time Carlisle answered. "Of course."

"It will be fun!" Alice bounced happily. "Since Bella won't let me give her a makeover."

"Does this mean you'll stop trying?" Bella sounded hopeful.

"Nope."

"Well thank you." Everyone could tell Sage was greatly relieved. "But I have no other clothes."

Alice gasped, horrified. "I'll take you shopping!"

Before I knew it, even with my vampire senses, Alice was pulling Sage out the door.

I strode over to Bella. "Are you alright, love?"

"Yeah." She didn't look as calm now. "Do you think she's dangerous?"

"I don't think so." Bella yawned.

"Should I take you home?"

"Okay."

I drove Bella home and promised to be back later." I love you."

"I love you, Edward."

I wanted to be back when Sage returned. The drive home, and wait for her and Alice to return from their shopping trip, was very uneventful.

The door opened and Sage and Alice walked in.

"I should go change." Sage announced.

"I'll show you to your room." I walked her to one of our spare rooms.

"Thank you again." She said before closing the door.

I went and sat down at the piano bench and began to play. Rosalie came running in at full speed and up the stairs. I saw in her mind she was hiding from Emmett. He soon ran in to find her. I focused my attention back on the song I was playing.

A disturbing image cut into my mind. Emmett knocked on the door of Sage's room. "Rose, I know you're in there." He opened the door, and I got a picture of Sage, in the mist of changing, fully exposed.

I shook the image away and focused back on my piano, trying to drown out the angry screams of Rosalie. I decided to go see Bella. I ran to her house jumped through her window.
