Mysteries and Secrets

BPOV

I went out to the parking lot and sat on the hood of my car, letting the snow fall on me. God, how stupid could I be. I thought to myself, hitting my forehead with my fist. I just showed him what I could do, now they'll never leave me alone.

When the bell rang I stayed sitting on my car for a minute, thinking whether to go home or not. After awhile, I got up, grabbed my stuff, and headed inside. They couldn't, wouldn't, do anything while people were around.

It was the last class of the day, and I couldn't wait to see what Alice would do. I knew that Edward would have told the others what had happened by now, and they would probably be planning something to get back at me.

I sat in my seat, waiting for Alice to walk through the door. When she did, she looked a little surprised to see me. I guess she thought I had went home, to afraid to see what they would do to me. I smiled at the thought and waved at her. She slowly walked toward her seat beside me and sat down, the whole time looking at me, making sure I didn't do anything.

"Hi Alice. How are you doing today?" I asked her. Playing dumb, like I didn't do anything unnatural early.

"Uh.. Just fine." she said, trying to figure out what I was up to. The teacher walked in when the bell rang, and I looked to the front of the class, feeling Alice's eyes on me.

I would look at Alice out of the corner of my eye every few minutes and could see that she was thinking really hard about something. "Watcha thinking about?" I asked her quietly, making sure no one heard, but Alice. She looked over at me, but didn't answer. I smiled and looked back to the front of the class. After awhile she finally answered me. "I'm just trying to figure you out." she said just as quietly.

I turned my head and smiled at her. "Having any luck with that?" I hoped she wasn't. I didn't like anyone knowing what I was.

"No." she said, with a hint of annoyance in her voice and a pout on her lip. "You're a complete mystery." I smiled even more, glad she hadn't figured anything out. I think I might like this leech. She was fun to mess with.

"Good. I'd like to keep it that way." I said right as the bell rang. I grabbed my stuff and headed out the door.

I reached my car when Alice grabbed my arm, making me face her. "I'm warning you right now. If you try to hurt my family again, you'll regret it." she told me, narrowing her eyes at me.

I shook her hand off me, and glared right back at her. Maybe I won't like her so much after all. "Lets get this straight. This is my town, so you'll listen to me. I won't be taking orders from your kind." She looked taken back about my statement. "If I find out that one person is missing, you and the rest of them will regret it." I glared at her one more time, before getting in my car and pealing out of the parking lot.

APOV

I was walking to my English class, thinking about everything that Bella did to Edward. How Edward had described it, Bella was more powerful than we could image. She definitely wasn't human, or at least not completely.

When I walked into the class room, I slowed down a little, startled at who I saw. Bella was sitting in her seat, right next to mine. When she looked at me, she smiled and waved. I walked to my seat, keeping my eyes on her. Bella's here. I thought, knowing Edward would be listening. I sat down, stilling watching her out of the corner of my eye.

"Hi Alice. How are you today?" Bella asked me innocently, acting like she hadn't done anything early.

I looked at her, not sure what she was playing. "Uh… Just fine." I said warily.

All through class I would look at her to make sure she wasn't about to do something. I would try to look into the future, but there was nothing to see. She was still blocking me.

"Watcha thinking about?" She asked me quietly, when everyone was done with their work and getting ready for the bell to ring.

I looked at her, not trusting her at all. "I'm just trying to figure you out." I said, waiting for her reaction.

She didn't show any emotion on her face, but a smile. "Having any luck with that?" she asked.

"No." I said after a moment, annoyed, pouting a little. "You're a complete mystery." I admitted.

She smiled even wider. "Good. I'd like to keep it that way." The bell rang and she grabbed her stuff and walked out of the class room.

I quickly gathered up my stuff and followed her down the hall and to the parking lot, having to walk quickly to keep up with her. I grabbed her arm before she got to her car, forcing her to look at me. "I'm warning you now." I told her, narrowing my eyes. "If you try to hurt my family again, you'll regret it."

She roughly shook my hand off her arm and glared back at me. "Lets get this straight. This is my town, so you'll listen to me. I won't be taking orders from you kind." she said, deadly. Whoa, hold it a minute. Your kind. That means… "If I find out that one person ends up missing, you and the rest of them will regret it." she glared at me one last time before she got in her Mustang and pealed out of the parking lot, making some snow fly up and hit me.

I stood there, stunned. How does she know? I was so lost in my thoughts, that I jumped when Edward laid his hand on my shoulder.

"Alice, what happened?" Edward asked me, confused. "You're not making any sense. I can't understand your thoughts."

I turned to him, stone faced. "She knows what we are."
