You're Alive

I tried to concentrate on seeing you in my visions, but I came up blank. It only meant that what I didn't want it to be; you died. You couldn't die, not on me. I won't let you die, yet here I was, driving in a speed that could surpass time towards your house, all I could think about was you sitting in your room, perched up on your bed waiting with that happy smile on your face; waiting for me. Well, I surely didn't know what a dream would be like, but I could hope that you were there waiting for me, even if I couldn't see you.

I eased up the gas, although I was driving pass the car's limit already. I needed to be sure, that you were…I couldn't bring myself to think about it. Soon enough, I arrived at your house. I parked the car on the sidewalk, and quickly went inside. I was surprise that the house wasn't locked, but right now it didn't matter, who would want to come to a Police Chief's house uninvited? Oh, only vampires. I barged inside your house, and I stopped. No one was inside. You weren't inside either. I couldn't smell you. I couldn't smell your scent. My eyes were dilating to that color of thirst, but I pushed my thirst back. I knew I hadn't hunted in a couple of weeks, but I needed to make sure that my vision didn't come true.

Despite the fact that your scent was nowhere in my range of senses, I swiftly moved up towards your bedroom. I stayed there for a short moment, taking in your scent, looking at the same old room that I had once been in. Your room hadn't changed. No, it hadn't changed one bit. Then I heard a sound of an incoming car, and by the sound of it, it was your truck. But who was driving it? And how come I didn't see it coming? I quickly exited your bedroom and went down stairs, standing just where your entrance door would be. I was having my hope up so high, that I know if I would find out that you were dead, it would devastate me.

I heard the truck stopped, but only for a brief second before it sped off again. It wasn't you, but that was your truck. I was getting frustradedly confused. First of all, I couldn't see your future. Second of all, I didn't see the truck was coming. It was like I was blind. Then I heard the truck coming back, and the sound of a door car slamming. Next I heard a heart beating. First it was slow, then it was getting faster and faster when the human reached the door. My eyes went wide when I caught the scent. It couldn't be, yet here I was, my whole body tensed in hope that it was you that would come into the door. The door knob turned, the door being pushed open, and you came straight into the clearing. Even if it was dark, I could still see you. Your hair was a mess. You looked like you had just come back from the dead. Then you flicked the light on, and turned. Your chocolate brown eyes locked onto my already beginning to be black coal eyes. At first you looked confused, then your eyes widened in realization. You flung yourself at me, forgetting about how hard and cold I was. Forgetting about how my stone cold body would bruise your fragile one. Your arms were around me, and you sobbed my name against my shoulder.

"Alice…Oh Alice.."

I continued to stand there, in shock. If you were alive, then how come I couldn't see you? Your scent and your voice brought me back to reality, and I gently gripped onto your arms to push you away, only so that I could see your face, I needed to make sure that I wasn't exactly dead already.

"Bella?" I asked, my voice strained as if I was going to sob as well. Your eyes were filled with happiness, longing and confusion. "Bella…How…." Before I could finish, you had already jumped into my arms once again.

"Oh Alice, you're really here. You're really, really here." You sobbed once again, and I couldn't do anything but to hold you. I knew that you weren't going to let go, so I picked you up with the strength that I possessed, and to me, you were just only a feather, waiting to be blown away, waiting for someone to catch you. I carried you over to the couch, and gently laid you down but you still refused to let go off of me. I chuckled a little at that, and sat myself down with you still clung onto me. It only a brief second that you pulled away, your eyes bore into mine with the confusion that was clearly showing in them.

"Bella, how are you still alive?" I asked quickly, still bewildered by the event. You eyes widening then in realization, and you bit down on your bottom lip in shame. You should be, you did jump and tried to rid yourself from me after all.

"You saw me fall…" You muttered, and my eyes flashed from anger to disappointment.

"No, Bella. I saw you jump. Do you mind explaining that to me?" I asked desperately. I wanted to know the reason why you did it. The reason why you so wanted to end your life then.

"Alice, I wasn't committing suicide, I was cliff diving." You answered, and my nostrils flared at that. I've seen various things that you have tried, but cliff diving, especially at that current, was just too much.

"Cliff diving? But how? The currents were too strong, and I didn't see you come up." I studied her face, to see if she was lying about the whole cliff diving, but she wasn't.

"You didn't see Jake pulling me out?" She asked, and I shook my head. "Oh, Jake came to pull me out. He saved me Alice."

"Jake…?" I tried to pull out any memory that I have with that name, but I came up with none.

"Jacob Black, at La Push." Ah, the little werewolf. Werewolf? It was then that I realized another smell. I edged in closer to you, my nose was only an inch away from your shoulder. I inhaled lightly, and my face scrunched up in disgust before I pulled away.

"I didn't see Jacob pulling you out Bella." I stated, and she looked confused. "How did he pull you out under that strong current?"

"Oh, Jake is really big, and he's very strong. And he's….well, he's sort of a werewolf."

"A werewolf?" I asked, my eyes widening just a little. That explained the smell.

"Yes, he had only been a werewolf for several weeks now."

"A young werewolf!" I exclaimed. "That's even worse!" She winced at that, and looked down at her lap then.

"He's my best friend Alice…" She murmured. She looked so torn, and all I wanted to do was to wrap my arms around her, to comfort her.

"That explains the god awful smell." I responded, not wanting to go down the path of hurting her anymore. You looked up at me, then rolled your eyes. I had to suppress the urge to giggle at your adorable expression. Then you moved closer to me, your scent hit me at full force now, and my body tensed.

"Alice?" You must had noticed my reaction, since your eyes were looking at me in concern. I swallowed the venom that was starting to leak out in my mouth.

"I'm sorry, I've forgotten how exuberant your scent is." I shook my head quickly, trying to push away the thought of having Bella's blood right here and right now.

"Oh, I'm sorry." She quickly said and moved away. I sighed at the loss of close intimacy.

"I'll be right back, I need to hunt." I looked up to her, and she bit her bottom lip again, no doubt because she had seen my black pitched eyes.

"You're coming back, right?" She asked, and I had to smile. After what me and my family had done to you, after what I had done to you, you still wanted me around.

"Yes, of course. I won't be long."

She nodded, and I quickly got up. I was out of the living room before she could even blink, it was like I wasn't there in the first place. I ran until I could smell the scent of a mountain deer nearby. That was when I stopped. I stalked the deer for a brief second, before I pounced. Its neck was quickly snap in a sickening sound, and my teeth soon sunk deeply into its flesh. Its thick and bitter blood poured into my mouth, quenching the burning thirst from deep down my throat. I knew that one deer wouldn't be enough, and I needed to make quick work on my next prey. I did, I didn't want to make Bella wait after all. When I came back to the house however, I stopped at the awful smell that was radiating from the house. The dog was in there, so I decided to stay out for a while before it would go outside. Besides, I wasn't going anywhere, not when I've found out that Bella; my Bella, was still alive.

Thank you for your reviews on the previous chapter. I have to say, I love that chapter. I guess it's only because Alice slapped Edward and all that yelling and proving that he is wrong stuff. We all know that he is wrong. Anyway, moving on. You guys are a tough crowd ! Well, tough for me to satisfy your cravings for a fast update at least. It's a bit easy to please you guys though haha. The Volturi scene would definitely be in this fanfic. Haha, what a spoiler huh? ;P
