A/N: Well this would have been up 2 days ago, but I've been having trouble uploading - actually I still have, but I kind of found a way around. Anyway if anyone knows how I can fix this, I'd appreciate you enlightening me + constructive critique or creative suggestions are always welcome.
Blood Moon
Reunion
Alice abruptly stopped. She had another vision. Bella. Her transformation was complete. She was a vampire now. But suddenly Alice shrieked "No!" Edwards eyes widened. "God, please no!" He gasped. Jasper looked back an forth between them feeling left out. They were feeling anxious. He noted. "What is it?" He demanded. "She is hunting" Alice answered "… there are children." Jasper's features hardened.
Two little giggling girls were skipping in Bellas direction. She was still staring strangely at them. The beating of the little drums was getting louder. As they noticed Bella, they approached her cheerfully. Completly oblivious to the great danger they were in. "Are you all alone? What's your name?" One of them asked her. She took a deep breath inhaling that sweet scent. The other tucked at her hand. "Come and play with us." Mesmerized by their smell, she looked down at the little creature hungrily. She felt a strong urge to bite her delicate little neck. Venom was pooling in her mouth and she put her hand up to her mouth, bewildered by these strange feelings and those cruel and morbid thoughts. That was when she saw that petite girl in her head again. She was looking away from her with a pained expression on her face and then the image suddenly changed. A beautiful young man with bronze hair was staring directly at her now and shouted right in her face 'RUN!' It scared her and she ran as fast as she could.
Alice stopped again confused. "She ... she's running away … ?" She stammered. "She … doesn't kill them." Edward let out a relieved sigh and Jasper stared at her shocked. "What?!" He gasped. "How is that possible?!" Alice shook her head. "I have no idea. But that doesn't matter now. They are save and so is she. We just have to find her and take her home."
Bella wandered through the forrest again loosing track of time. She was scared and alone. She still didn't now where she was and how she got here and she was in a strange body that wasn't hers. Even if someone would find her, would they even recognize her? Would she recognize them? The burning in her throat was driving her insane. And when another image of the sorrowful petite girl entered her mind she could not take it anymore and sat down under a tree hugging ber legs to her body rocking herself back and forth.
Suddenly Edwards head snapped to the side and he came to a complete hold Jasper almost crashed into him. Alice looked around until she too noticed the scent. Vampire. Not one of their family members. Hopefully Bella. Jasper had gotten it too. They followed the scent until they finally saw her tiny form sitting under a tree her head leaning on her knees rocking herself. "Careful" Alice whispered and held Edward back by the arm, stopping him from dashing right over to her in his excitement. He then looked at Bella closely and realised that Alice was right. "I'll go. You two stay behind." She ordered. "I look the least threatening." She argued in her singsongy voice as Edward glared at her. He thought about it for a moment staring intently at Bella and finally nodded.
Alice walked over slowly. She didn't want to startle her. Bella didn't seem to notice her at first. Then her head suddenly shut up and she looked frightened before recognition washed over her features. She settled for a look of confusion at last cocking her head to the side. Alice was beyond confused when Bella reached out a hand to touch her face in awe. "Are you Ok, Bella?" She asked. "Belll-laaa" She echoed drawing out the syllables. Alice looked at her like she had grown two heads. "Is that me?" Bella asked. Finally Alice's face lit up in understanding. "Yes." She answered. "You don't know who you are?" Bella looked at her funny. "I'm Bella." She stated matter of factly. Alice nodded slowly sending a worried glance in the boy's direction. "Who are you?" Bella asked. "I'm Alice. We used to be friends." Bella's forehead crumbled in confusion. "used to be friends?" She echoed "So we're not anymore?" She asked in a sad tone. "No I'm still your friend. We just haven't seen each other … for a while." Alice corrected her in an equally sad tone. "I see you in my head all the time." Bella stated as if it was the most normal thing to say. "What?!" Alice shrieked surprised. But Bella didn't seem to notice or she ignored it. "You always look so sad. You were crying …" She trailed off while caressing Alice's cheek. Alice reached for her hand and held it on the side of her face holding Bellas gaze.
Alice snapped out of her reverie and cleared her throat. "So ... you don't remember anything?" Edward took a hopeful step forward. "I don't know. There was all this pain and now my body is … well different and my throat hurts and I don't know where I am?" Alice nodded slowly. Edwards face fell. That would be 'yes'. Bella still looked at Alice expectantly. Alice glanced over helplessly to where Edward and Jasper were standing. Bella followed her gaze and gasped. "You!" Edward stared at her anxious. "You were in my head too - You told me to run." They all stared at her with blank expressions until Alice realized what she meant. "That's why you didn't kill those girls." "Huh?!" "Never mind." Alice reassured her. Edward took a few steps closer. "Well I'm Edward. We used to ... know each other too." He phrased carefully.
"So you didn't feed jet?" Edward asked. "Feed?" Bella echoed again. "You're a vampire Bella." Alice explained. "A newborn" Jasper cut in. "You need blood ..." she looked at him appelled "… the burning in your throat?" Edward asked. "Oh!" Bella finally got the picture. "You need to hunt. Don't worry we'll help you." Jasper assured her. "Then you'll come home with us and we'll figure everything out." Alice chirped and held her hand out to help Bella up. "What are we gonna hunt?" Bella asked apprehensively. "Animals!" Edward exclaimed startling her. Alice positioned herself behind Bella shooting him a glare and put her hands on her shoulders. Edward stood right in front of her. "Close your eyes." He instructed. "And concentrate on your instincts"
After she was done she let the dead body of the mountain lion fall to the ground and looked up at them selfconciously. "I'm all dirty." They chuckled softly. "That's ok Bella. You did good for your first time." Edward assured her. "You're feeling better now, right?" He asked. She nodded eagerly. He closed the distance between them and reached for her face. "Then we can go home now ..." She was frozen in place. Lost in his eyes and as his hand finally touched her face, she felt electricity shooting through her. And all kinds of images flashed before her eyes. She leaned into his touch. She was brought back to the present by Jasper clearing his throat loudly. "I hate to interrupt, but we should probably get going." He said. Alice grinned at them, took Jasper's hand and they ran away. "Hey ..." Bella reached after them, but Edward stopped her. "They're gonna inform the rest of the family that we found you." Then he held out his hand to her. "Shall we?" She took it smiling up at him and nodding.
He led her back to the Cullen residence. She looked up at the huge house fascinated. "Wow." She breathed. He chuckled. "They're waiting for us inside." She nodded refocusing. "Right" She gulped. He looked back at her. "Nervous?" She nodded. "Don't worry." He smiled reassuringly "They already adore you ... well most of them anyways."
