Chapter 3

I sighed in relief upon spotting my bag sitting exactly where I had left it. The walk back here had been awkward to say the least, I couldn't let go of the anger I held against them. In one way I get that they were only trying to help but the part of me that's in control right now is just down right mad. They ruined my chance of getting out of here today, I could of been on the move again by now which is a hell of a lot safer than walking through the woods with these people.

Running up the steps, I grabbed my bag quickly turning back around and heading straight back down the steps.

"Well...um thanks for the coco this morning and then kinda helping me in town, good luck with whatever you guys are doing here." It was half assed I know but why should I care, I don't know these people.

"Your leaving already?" The pixie asked her face a mask of confusion.

"Well yeah, as I said it's better to be on the move."

"Aren't you hungry?"

"No time," I turned back to Esme and again it felt like I was talking to my mother, she always used to moan that I never eat enough. "Sorry," I added as an after thought.

"So what exactly are you going to do, except probably get yourself eaten by ravenous freaks."

"Excuse me?" Tips from Barbie, not happening "I do just fine on my own thank you very much, you've known me all of what an hour? And suddenly your just superior to me?"

"Oh please, save the attitude for someone who cares to listen to you whine," My blood boiled as she practically dismissed me turning her back to me.

"Rose!"

"What Alice?"

"This is the first person we've seen since Forks went down and your treating her like she's some dirt on your shoe, show a bit of respect."

Ok so that sort of made my anger wither away, it felt nice to be acknowledged again.

"Really Alice? So the fact that your eyes seemed to be glued to her ass on the walk back here that was just you checking out the design on her jean pockets right?"

Oh damn,

"Girls please," Esme's voice echoed around us, the mothering tone stopping the bickering in it's tracks. It had been so long since I had heard something like that that I felt the tears pool in my eyes once again. I can't believe how much I missed my family.

Alice and Rosalie's attention stayed on Esme it was like they were having a mental conversation, shaking my head I took the chance I had and turned running off into the forest.

I have to admit it was nice being around people again but little things about them seemed off that I couldn't quite put my finger on. It doesn't matter now considering I probably won't see any of them again.

The walk back into town seemed quicker this time around I should of been paying more attention to my surroundings.

Right now I need to find a car and by the sound of my stomach something to eat. I walked slowly back down towards the Police Station remembering I had passed a resturant maybe there was still something in there still in date.

Spotting it I ran upto the first window, ducking down slightly so I could peak inside. Not seeing anything moving I moved to the door testing to see if it was locked. I did a mental victory dance when the door opened easily with no sound, slowly slipping inside I kept a tight grip on my bat and my bag.

The silence was eerie, I was so used to the moans and shuffling of the Walkers that when it's silent like this it sets my hairs on end.

I dropped my bag on the counter as I jumped over it, taking in the sour and rotten smells coming from the kitchen scrunching my nose at the onslaught. Bypassing the kitchen altogether I slowly approached the pantry my hand on the door handle I pulled it open swiftly jumping in with my bat.

Untouched, seems like luck was on my side at the moment. Jogging back out I grabbed my bag of the counter. Stuffing everything in sight that still looked ok and zipping it back up, I hefted it back onto my shoulder making my way back out into the resturant.

"Seems you were right, you really do do ok on your own." I practically leapt six foot into the air fear tightening around my heart.

"Damn it Alice!" I whispered harshly at the grinning woman sitting soundly on the counter. "How did you even get in here without me hearing you?"

"I'm sneaky," She shrugged the smile never leaving her lips.

"Yeah well be glad I don't have a gun or I probably would of just blown a hole in you!"

Laughter so musical left her as she regarded me.

"Well then I guess I'm lucky you don't, I rather like myself in one piece."

"Yeah yeah ha ha you're hilarious, now why are you here?"

"Wasn't ready to say goodbye to the first person other than my family that I had seen in months," She replied with a shrug of her shoulders looking down at her nails.

"So you thought the best course of action for that was to sneak into a place where I was in this day and age?"

"Umm yes?"

I couldn't stop the laugh that bubbled up,her face was priceless she looked like a child that had just been scolded.

"Are you hungry?" I asked once my laughter had died down jumping up to sit next to her, "I found some beef jerky,"

"No thank you, I just ate before you stumbled onto our porch."

"Ok," My stomach rumbled gratefully as I tore into the chewy meat.

It was comforting to have someone sitting there with me even if it was only going to be a short time.

"Is Bella short for Isabella?"

"Huh? Where did that come from?"

"Sorry, I was curious,"

"Right," I chuckled, "And yeah it is,"

"Oh,"

Silence settled over us again and I wasn't sure how long we had been sat here for but the sun was beginning to set which meant I had to go.

"Well Alice, guess this is goodbye again," I gathered all of my things and began making my way to the door, "You should really get home it's not safe to be out at night."

"I didn't think it was safe to be out at all?"

"You got me there, be safe Alice." I pulled the door open silently again stepping out of the bubble we had created in the resturant and back into the harsh light of my hell.
