Chapter Four
Rating: T
Summary: Alice… is a vampire?
Well this was weird.
Bella and Alice had been dating for what… Four days? Yeah, that sounds right. And all of a sudden, Alice pulls Bella into her apartment with a hushed tone, telling her that it was very important. Bella wouldn't lie; she was nervous, and a bit scared. What could have happened?
She was also unable to see, because her little pixie had covered her eyes with her hands and was walking her inside. After hearing the door close behind them, and tripping over nothing a few times, she began to become even more anxious.
"Relax, Bella. You're as stiff as a board."
But after feeling Alice's cool breath against her ear, she started calming down. It's Alice. She wouldn't do anything absurd. Well… Scratch that. She wouldn't do anything possibly harmful to her.
"Aaand… Surprise!"
Bella's heart practically melted. Her new girlfriend made a fancy dinner for them. Granted, it was her coffee table spruced up with some roses and candles, but it was the thought that counted. She knew Alice didn't own a dinner table, as strange as that is.
"Sit, sit!"
With a small laugh, Bella did as she was told; making herself comfortable on the loveseat that was pushed in front of the small dinner. Alice sat across from her on the sofa, happily beaming at her.
"Uh, Alice…"
The brunette tilted her head to the food, silently questioning why she was the only one eating.
"I'm not hungry."
Was her one of the usual two answers. It was always either "I'm not hungry" or "I already ate". Raising a brow at her, she merely shrugged and lifted her fork to stir it in the spaghetti. But it was becoming increasingly hard to eat, for she could feel the pixie's gaze on her. Every now and then, she looked up, her eyes immediately meeting the others. And for some reason, her girlfriend looked very nervous.
"Is there… Something you need to tell me?"
She offered, wanting to help her in some way. If something was plaguing Alice's mind, she would do all she could to help relieve her. Possible sexual pun unintended.
"There is, actually."
Reaching over, she took her hands and tentatively looked up at her, a shy expression on her face. Before Bella could ask any further, her hands were being guided to ah… Alice's chest?
"W-what are you-"
"Shh…"
Pushing her down against her mounds even further, she closed her eyes and allowed her to feel. But Bella was far too caught up in the thought of groping her to notice anything off. Blushing bright red, and looking off to the side, she tried to collect her thoughts. What the hell was going on and-
…
Uh…
There's definitely something wrong here.
Her head snapped towards Alice quickly, a look of confusion on her face before looking down at her chest, then back up at her. Hesitantly, Bella moved forward and pressed her ear against her.
…
…
…
Nothing.
No sound, no pulse, nothing.
Absolutely nothing.
"Nothing!"
She jerked back so fast, she wondered if she had dropped anything.
"Alice wha… Why isn't there…"
"Bella, calm down. I'm a vampire."
She answered so nonchalantly, her fangs peeking between her lips.
Vampire…
Alice…
She's a…
Bella started feeling a bit woozy. In fact, she was certain she was swaying a little.
A vampire…
"Oh… I… I must be such a burden on you."
Came her initial thought. Really. It must be so hard for her. Bella is filled with blood, as most humans are, and clumsy as hell. She's tripped and bled in front of her many times. She couldn't even imagine how hard that must have been.
"I tell you I'm a vampire, and your first response is whether or not you've been a burden on me? Silly Bella."
Alice looked at her quizzically for a second before giggling and moving over to her, slowly as not to scare her.
"But Alice I-"
They both said in unison.
"Alice stop, this is serious-"
Again.
"How do you even know what I'm going to-"
"I have many tricks up my sleeve, Bella Swan, and that is just one of them."
She teased as she kissed Bella's cheek before quickly moving to the other side of her and doing the same once more.
"Wha… This is…"
And then she passed out.
. . . . . . . . .
"Okay, that could have gone a lot smoother, and for that, I apologize. I didn't see that happening."
Alice twiddled her thumbs as she spoke to Bella, whose head was now in her lap.
"Usually the visions come clear, but because I was nervous, I didn't see all of it. Regardless, this was a lot to put on you all at once. I'm sorry."
Before she could continue ranting, the brunette reached up and placed her hand on the vampire's cheek before guiding her down for a kiss.
"You're worrying about it too much. I still like you. Everything about you. Even if you ah… eat people…"
"Oh! No, no! I don't do that! I drink animal blood."
She spoke with a happy nod, as if that would make everything all better. Which, coincidentally, it did. Bella let out a breath she didn't know she was holding at that. Good. That would have been a lot more pressure if Alice had to sneak out to murder every other day.
"So… Are we good?"
"Yeah, we're good."
"Very good?"
"Very very good."
The two stared at each other seriously for a second before laughing. And here Alice thought things would change between them. Not with Bella. Never with Bella.
