* So…writing is becoming a little more hectic than I thought it would be and I find myself not being able to post it every other day. It just really doesn't give me enough time to write anything good. So I've decided to post: Monday, Thursday, and Sunday. Just figured I'd let you guys know because I hate it when I get going in a story and wait like a week for the next chapter.

So without further adieu…

* Stephenie owns the characters; I just like messin' with them.

A Marionette Caught in His Strings

It was 10:58 pm. Oh god, Oh god, Oh god… I can't keep doing this! I nearly ran a hole into the Persian rug underneath my feet from pacing back and forth in my room.

"Hey Edward!"

"Ahhhh!" My body flew to the ceiling, my fingernails gripping the plaster, with the hair at the back of my neck standing on edge. I heard a carefree giggle coming from below me, Alice… I easily unlatched myself and landed face own on my futon, nearly breaking the damn thing but I didn't care. As a heavy sigh rushed out of my mouth, my pixie-like sister sat on my back.

"It's the new girl again isn't it?" My muffled "yes" confirmed the answer to her question. "I thought so.", she started braiding my hair (which she knows bothers me), "I saw you with her last night Edward…"

I pulled my sullen head up onto my folded arms, "I know. I figured that out when I came back home, after my 'bath'."

"You almost crossed the line with her, let alone he law."

"I know Alice!" I stood up quickly and started to walk away until I noticed that Alice was clinging onto me like a spider monkey, a very annoying spider monkey. She got off and gently threw me back down on my futon, then pounced on me and sat on my stomach.

She grabbed my hands and held them inside of her miniature ones, "Just hear me out okay?" I gave her a little nod and let her continue. "I just don't want you to be pushed over the edge. You've just been so tortured all these years, and we know that. But lately your angst levels have been insane, and it's been affecting everyone. Not to mention Jasper has been getting whiplash from your mood swings… I just want you to be happy because I love you, you know?" I sat up and she was cross-legged in my lap.

"But I don't know what to do!" I whined. "She's so tempting, but it's not just her blood. It's everything about her. She's quirky, unbelievably intelligent, and absolutely ravishing…" I flashed back to a daydream I had during class a week ago:

My angel walked into the full classroom with her chocolate eyes fixated on mine. She was clothed in a tight midnight blue v-neck tank top that showed off her cleavage well…very well. She was wearing a tight black mini-skirt, swishing her hips and sauntering over to me.

"Edward? Do you think I could borrow your pen?" She hovered over me with her supple breasts in my face, ready for me to bite. I could see her lacy navy blue bra peaking out of her spaghetti strapped device. My body was starting to become affected by this tempting siren, which I'm sure she was well aware of. I heard something clatter on the floor…a pencil, my pencil. It stopped right next to her stiletto clad foot. I looked down from it to her, scanning her features into my brain, and stopped at her face to find a wickedly come-hither look waiting for me. Her voice went husky as she called out to me, "Do you think you could pick that up for me Cullen?" Her sinful smirk sent me on my knees to the floor picking up the pencil. Then I saw something that blew my mind… Bella wasn't wearing any panties. Oh dear god… I got a whiff of her sweet succulent arousal through my nostrils. She opened her legs up for better viewing and I could see how soaking wet she was. Bella was dripping so much with cum that it was running down her thighs. My mouth pooled with venom just thinking about how she would taste and I groaned. "See something you like baby?" I looked up at her with a pained expression then mischievously licked circles over her clitoris. Bella gasped and thrust her hips into my face. Before her little hands could grip my hair, I stood up with pencil in hand.

"Ah-ah-ah you little tease." I leaned in to whisper in the hollow of her ear, "That was a very sneaky thing to do my little nymph. I have a mind to punish you but I'll give you a chance to make it up to me." I smirked when she eagerly fell to her knees and unbuttoned me. "Mmm, Bella get on your knees." she took the zipper of my jeans between her teeth and zipped it down. "You're such a cock-tease Bella." I closed my eyes when I felt lithe hands around my firm erection. Then she closed her mouth around me, almost causing me to come right then and there. I cried out her name and started thrusting into her mouth. "F-u-c-k…"

Alice POV: As I was trying to convince Edward to just come out about being a vampire and try to make it work with her, I started to feel a-um… 'change' happen with him. "F-u-c-k…" His eyes were closed when his hips started thrusting upward toward me, chanting Isabella Swan's name. It was starting to get me worked up as I tried to get him out of his reverie.

I started to whisper, "Edward? Edward you've got to stop th- Oh!" He ground into me harder, causing my control to slip. My hands tugged at his kinky bronze hair, making him open his eyes. "Edward stop!" I stated firmly while grabbing his face.

"W-what?" he stammered out, "What just happened?" I felt so bad for him because he looked so confused and lost. I gently ran my hands through his hair trying to calm him down.

"You were obviously thinking about Bella…" I cleared my throat, "sexually. And I just happened to be sitting here…on your lap during your, um… 'awkward moment'. If vampires could blush we would absolutely be as red as the blood we drink right now. I'm so glad Jazz is hunting right now; he would likely rip Edward's penis off and burn it if he knew what just happened.

"He would definitely do more than that." he ran his hand through his hair and caught his breath. "Ally, what's wrong with me?" his head fell gracefully to my shoulder. I sighed, "Honey, you're addicted to her…literally." He gave me a disbelieving look. "Really! Think about it Edward, all of the things you've been going through for the past week has all the similarities to a coke addict. Irritability, mood swings, depression, angst, sadness, paranoia, and undeniably neurotic. You have to clue her in before you spontaneously combust and lose control. You already saw my two visions about her and you know the consequences of the actions you would take for each one."

Ed POV: I remember her visions so well; they were still festering in the back of my mind. Bella's eyes were red, she was clearly a newborn vampire, walking hand in hand laughing with Alice. The other vision took care of my problem, but wasn't a pleasant sight. "I can't change her; she has too much to aspire to and to live for."

"Well you very well can't eat her…so I don't know Edward. This has to be your choice. Whatever you choose, I'll stick behind you." Which was a lie, because I could hear Alice's angry voice in my head. She was screaming at me: "Do not take away my new best friend and Barbie doll!" I looked at her incredulously. "Sorry but it is true." I just stared at her with a dangerous tortured look. I stood up when I heard Alice's voice in my head again. He's such the starving artist type, so tortured and sad. But when he looks like he does now, I almost can't control my lust. And after his little 'episode' it is becoming a little difficult. I am irrevocably in love with Jasper, but just a little test drive with Edward sounds so tempting. I have to go find Jasper…NOW. The brown haired pixie ran to go find Jazz to relieve herself in the most explicit ways. I tried to tune out her mental images and now Jasper's by hurrying to the piano and trying to finish the song about Bella that I had started to compose a couple of days ago. It helped.

I decided to go hunting in Port Angeles instead of watching Bella tonight. As alluring as it sounds to be with her, I had to hunt to prepare myself for school tomorrow. More like to prepare myself to not kill Bella tomorrow. Plus I had to get out of the house because I could currently hear Ally give herself over to the pleasure she was having with her blonde husband. Sometimes, I hate hearing others' thoughts.

I decided to have two rabbits in the morning before I got headed out the door to my car. Not my favorite but it will suffice for now. As I licked the hot blood from my lips I ran into Alice. She started apologizing to me for last night and I assured her that it wasn't a major thing because I've lusted after her before as well. It's just a side affect to living with the same highly sexual spouses for a century plus; sometimes you want something new. Sometimes they switch partners always with consent of their spouse and things work out for them. Everybody's happy, the relationships stay the same, and they all go back to their everyday life. The only rule is: I'm off limits. I wanted to lose my virginity to someone I loved. Yes, I'm virtuous. Shut up, I already get crap from Emmett every time he hears me fondling myself after a couple in the house has had sex. Alice was rambling quickly, even for a vampire, and I was trying to decipher what she was saying. All I caught was: "Vision! Gonna confront you. Forest. Do the right thing, I want a new sister!" In her excited/worried speech. She put her hands on her hips and yelled, "Are you even listening to me?!" Note to self: Never make Tinkerbell mad, she becomes violent.

"Well I was trying." I whined, "Just don't hit me!" I shielded my face. Alice just looked at me with frustration.

"Edward she knows."
