I wasn't sure when exactly Bella would show up, but when I looked outside I noticed that it was going to start snowing soon. I took that as a hint that I needed to get to her house.

Jacob agreed to move his pack around the boundary line as soon as they caught scent of her. I would wait in the forest by her tombstone because that is where my vision saw her.

I have no idea what is going to happen when I see Bella; I just know I have to talk to her. If she runs, I must chase her. I'm not letting her go this time.

After I got off the phone with Jacob, I ran to Bella's house as fast as I could. It only took a minute before I got there. I ran up to the side of her old house, and leaned against the wall.

I looked into the window of her house and saw Charlie sitting in his usual spot. There was a game of some sort on TV so he was watching it of course. The phone rang, and I crouched down as Charlie went to answer it.

"Hello?" I heard his voice say.

There was a woman's voice on the other line, but I couldn't tell who it was.

"Hi, how are you doing honey?" Charlie responded happily.

Who is he calling honey? Could it be Bella?

"Thank you, I don't feel much older. Are you coming over later today?" He continued.

It couldn't have been Bella, unless Charlie knew she wasn't really dead.

"That's great, I'm looking forward to seeing you. It's been a while since I got to see that beautiful face of yours."

How could this get anymore confusing? Why would Charlie know about Bella, and still act as if she is dead? It has to be someone else.

"Okay, I'll see you later. I love you."

The woman on the other line murmured something back to Charlie, and he hung up the phone. I lifted up my head to see Charlie walk back to his chair. He had the biggest smile on his face.

I stared at him for a few minutes, wondering if Bella was really on the other line. Whoever it was sure made him happy.

I didn't realize that it started to snow until a flurry landed on my nose. I wiped it off, and turned around to see small piles of snow starting to form on the ground.

I knew that she would be coming soon, so I decided that it was best to move into the forest, and not stay out in the open for everyone to see. I moved into the forest, close to Bella's tombstone, but far enough away where no one would see me.

The wind was blowing away from her tombstone, so I would be able to catch onto her scent, but she would have a hard time catching onto mine.

I picked a big tree trunk, and kneeled beside it. I didn't want to scare Bella away, so I tried to make myself hidden until the timing was right.

My phone vibrated and I picked it up to see that Jacob sent me a text message saying, "She is near. Be cautious."

I put the phone back in my pocket quietly, and stayed as still as I could. Snow began to fall on top of me, but I made no move to shake it off. I felt like I was hunting, and in order to catch my prey I had to make as little movement as possible. I froze as if I were a statue, and listened for any sign of movement.

A few minutes went by, and nothing happened. She would be coming soon, the surroundings looked just like my vision.

My nose began to tingle as I picked up a scent that I haven't smelled in a long time. Bella was near; her scent was invading my senses.

A twig snapped, and I was able to tell that she wasn't very far from me at all. I wanted to jump up and hug her, but I made myself stay behind this tree. I wanted to turn around and look at her, but I had to wait just a few more minutes.

Just wait until she gets closer, then I can show myself. It won't be long before she catches my scent; even with the wind blowing against her.

I sat there, waiting for her to come just a little bit closer. Her scent was getting stronger, and I allowed myself to smile just a little. I felt relief that she wasn't dead. There was another chance for me to make up the time we lost, if she would let me that is.

I slowly began to move my head around the edge of the tree, and looked in the direction of Bella. I saw her sitting by the tombstone, just staring at it. She touched it gently, and looked up towards her old house.

I looked at the house as well to see what she was looking at. I hadn't noticed before, but a car had pulled up in the driveway, and an unfamiliar woman had stepped out.

That is when I realized that it wasn't Bella on the phone with Charlie, but whoever this woman was.

I watched along with Bella as Charlie came out of the house, gave the woman a hug, and kissed her on the cheek. She hugged him back, and together they went inside his house.

Charlie must have a girlfriend. He didn't know Bella was outside watching him. He didn't know she was still alive.

My eyes fell on Bella as I saw that she kept staring at the house. She wasn't moving; her hand was still placed on the tombstone. I felt sorry for her as I thought about how alone she must have been feeling. To have to pretend that she is dead, and stay away from her family must be hell.

I couldn't sit there and watch her any longer. She had been alone for too long, and she needed someone now. I sat up quietly as I could and moved closer towards Bella.

I'm sure that she must have caught onto my scent by now; I was standing right behind her.

"Bella" I said as quietly as I could.

She turned around, and stared at me. Her eyes were golden, just as mine.

"Alice" she whispered.

She looked surprised to see me. For a minute I thought she was going to hug me like nothing happened, but I was wrong. She sat up quickly, and started for the forest like she was going to run.

"Please don't run away Bella." I tried to step closer towards her to block her, but she wouldn't let me touch her. She moved away quickly, but wasn't running away yet.

"Why not? You ran away from me, and look what happened." She whispered, pointing to her tombstone.

The sound of her voice was heaven to me, even if she was angry.

"I had no idea that would happen. I can't even begin to say how sorry I am for what happened, but please let me talk to you."

"Alice, I waited for you to come back to me for so long. Couldn't you see what happened? Why should I believe you?" Bella walked further into the forest and I followed her.

"Just give me some time to explain Bella. You can't run away now." I said

"Watch me."

"Jacob is out there waiting for you to run. He won't let you get away. I will chase you too if I have to."

Bella stopped moving for a minute, trying to figure out if she really was cornered. I waited cautiously to see if she would move.

She turned around sharply, and stared daggers at me. "Is that how you found out about me? Did Jacob tell you what happened?"

"He only told me that he thought you might still be alive. I have been trying to find you."

Bella just stood there helplessly. "Why can't you just leave me alone? You were doing so well at it the past five years."

"You don't need to be alone anymore Bella. I am here for you now." I took a step closer, and this time she didn't move.

"I don't believe you." She replied. I didn't say anything else after that; I just looked at her.

She glanced around me and asked, "Are you the only one here?"

"Yes, I am." I moved in closer so that now we were face to face.

I could tell for sure that she was one of us. Her skin was like mine, and her eyes were as gold as they could be. The only thing new I noticed about her was that she had a scar going from her neck, down to her chest.

"What happened to you, Bella?" I whispered, trying to touch her scar.

She flinched away from me, and pulled her coat over her scar to try and hide it.

"You left." was Bella's answer.

I wanted to touch her, but she wouldn't let me. What was once so easy to do in the past is probably going to be one of the hardest things to gain back.

"Will you please let me back into your life?" I want it to be how it used to be." I told her.

"It could never be that way again. I'm not even alive anymore; I'm just like you." She wouldn't look me in the eyes.

"I've noticed that you still have good moral." I replied.

"What do you mean?" She asked, still not looking at me.

"Your eyes aren't red."

She didn't say anything back.

Charlie was coming out of his house, and he was headed this way. The woman he was with was right behind him.

"I need to go, Charlie is coming to look at my tombstone." Bella began walking further into the forest.

"I know he is, but I'm not going to let you leave." I followed her.

"I can't be seen Alice." She whispered, as she turned around to look at me.

"Then come to my house, we need to talk. No one will see us." I reached for her hand and grabbed it.

She wasn't warm to my touch anymore. She felt just like me.

"I'm not so cold anymore, am I?" I asked her.

In that instant, she pulled away.

She was stronger than me.

"I know the way." She told me, and we made our way toward my house.

A/N: Just letting you know that Jasper and Alice are not in a relationship in this fic, they are only friends.
