Well, this is chapter four! To be honest I'm not sure where I'm going with this story, so if you readers have any ideas please feel free to review or PM me any ideas!

I awoke the next morning with a dry throat and my eyes could barely open. I felt a warm ball pressed up against my side and when I looked down I saw green emerald eyes of Samson looking up at me. I smiled as wide as I could and scooped him up, hearing his little "meow" before he purred and pawed at my chest. All of the tears from last night forgotten I spent ten minutes in bed snuggling and petting Samson, it seemed we both missed one another.

There was a knock on my door, and I got up to open it, Samson tucked under my arm. I was just too excited to see him to let him go. A smiling pixie greeted me on the other side of the door and she had a tray of breakfast food with her.

"Good morning Bella! Jasper told me you were upset last night so I thought I would bring you breakfast in bed!" Alice said, entering the room all the way and placing the tray on my bed.

"Thank you Alice, it smells delicious." I said, sitting down and taking a few bites of the fruit.

"Your welcome, Esme made it for you. I see you found Samson." Alice said, reaching out and petting him softly, though he didn't seem too fond of her.

"Thank you Alice again, for everything you have done for me. Samson is very important to me, are you sure it's okay to have him in the house?" I asked, in response Samson gave me a dirty look and with a swish of his tail went to go sit by the window.

"Esme said it was fine as long as she doesn't find any poop or dead animals by the door. Emmett once had a dog that did that and after the third bird Esme got rid of it but told Emmett that he ran away." Alice giggled, watching as I slowly ate the breakfast she brought me.

"Well she will be pleased to know Samson is a very well trained house cat and doesn't really like hunting anyways. He's more of the sleepy type. " I said, giving her a reassuring smile.

"So Bella, I was thinking we could have a girls day! I could show you the garden and the pool, I know you like to swim, and maybe I could give you a make-over!" Alice squealed, clapping her hands together and bouncing in her seat. This got a hiss from Samson.

"Uh, sure Alice." I said, trying hard not to run out the door. The idea of her giving me a make-over made me very nervous. Alice seemed like the type to go over board, and though she was nice it just wasn't me.

"Oh don't look so scared Bella, it will be Bella Barbie time!" She said before she threw her arms around her and gave her a big kiss on the cheek. Alice got off the bed and danced over to my closet, pulling out what she thought I should wear and then telling me to meet her in the kitchen when I was ready.

Alice grabbed my breakfast tray and left the room, closing it softly behind her. I wondered what Jasper was doing while I dressed and did a few personal things like using the bath room and trying to make my hair presentable which I ended up throwing into a messy braid.

Before leaving my room I looked in the mirror, wondering how Alice knew exactly the right clothes that would highlight my best features. My feet were bare and plain, my legs were shorter with my 5'3 height but muscled and toned. My waist was small and my stomach flat, though I did have a slight curve to me. My breast were average, the scoop neck shirt Alice had me in made them look even bigger though and high lighted my collar bones. I was amazed at how I went from looking dead yesterday after learning about everything to looking actually decent.

I made my way out of my room and was about to walk down the stair case to meet Alice in the kitchen when a voice sounding behind me called me. I jumped and almost fell back down the stairs if it wasn't for Carlisle's arm grabbing me.

"I'm sorry Bella, I didn't mean to scare you." Carlisle said, letting go of my arm once he saw that I had steadied myself.

"It's fine." I said, looking down as I felt my blush heating up my cheeks

"I was wondering if you could join me in my office for a few moments, there is something I need to discuss with you." he said

"Of course." and with that I followed him to his office where he had me sit in the plush leather chairs infront of his desk. Carlisle sat down and then pulled out a file that seemed to be sagging over with the weight of all the papers in it.

"Your father and his allies raided a house last night of one of the people he has been after and they found this. I don't want it to scare you, but I wanted to show it to you so you know how dangerous this whole thing is." Carlisle said, before opening the file and pulling out a pile of pictures.

They were of me, getting into my car, walking to practice, actually swimming in practice, inside my apartment petting Samson, at the library studying, out to dinner with a friend, going for a run, and even as I was taking off my clothes getting ready for bed.

I gasped as I looked through them, seeing some that were very personal where I was in my bra, or in my bathing suit. I felt tears come to my eyes as Carlisle showed me my high school transcripts, my class and swimming schedule as well as a list of all the people I associated with. They had done extensive research on me, and by the looks of the pictures had been following me for weeks.

"I'm sorry Bella, I did not mean to upset you, I just thought you ought to know." Carlisle said, quickly picking up the file and putting it away out of sight.

"Why?" was all I could get out, trying to hide my tears and I could feel the blush on my cheeks at being weak in front of someone.

" Your father was caught up with some very bad people Bella, some of it he could not avoid, and because of it they thought that getting to you, they could get to your father. I want you to know you are perfectly safe here and that no one will harm you while you are under my roof. Do you understand Isabella?" Carlisle asked, capturing my eyes with his.

"Yes, thank you Carlisle. You and your family going out of your way to not only protect me, but to welcome me into your home and make me feel so comfortable. It means more than you could ever know." I said, trying to give him a smile but I think it came out as a grimace.

"Of course Bella, we wouldn't have it any other way." Carlisle gave me a kind smile and reached across the desk to squeeze my hand.

"Now that that is settled, I am sure you would like to go join Alice, she is dying to show you the garden." Carlisle said before looking back at some papers on his desk. I got up and walked out quietly, my bare feet not making any sound on the plush carpet and closed the door behind myself. And I ran smack into Jasper, and mostly his rock hard chest.

"Oh! I'm so sorry." I said, quickly looking down to hide my blush. I stepped back so I wasn't practically touching his cold body.

"It's fine Bella, Are you okay?" He asked, tilting my chin up to see what I was sure were my blood shot eyes.

"Yes, Carlisle was just showing me some things and it made me upset. It's fine now though." I said, feeling as if I was rambling. I looked at the ground while the burning in my cheeks felt like they were on fire.

"Bella, you know you can come to me for anything. Please, don't lie to me." Jasper said, and then I started feeling calmer, and more serene, standing here with Jasper. It was as if his words were just soothing me myself.

"I know Jasper, and I appreciate it. It's just that everything is a lot to take in, and seeing that whoever these people are were actually stalking me, is a little un-nerving. What if your family hadn't of taken me? They would have gotten me instead, and I don't want to think about the things they would have done." I said

"Bella, you are more than safe here. We would never let anyone harm you. Soon enough this threat will be over and you will not have to worry about it, you and Charlie will be safe again." Jasper said, his hand coming up to stroke my cheek softly. I looked up at him, shocked that he had stoked me that way, almost as a lover would. He seemed equally as shocked, and then embarrassed by his actions.

"Thank you Jasper, but I think I should go now before Alice decides to extend her 'Bella Barbie' time." I said, giving him a soft smile before making my way downstairs to where an impatient pixie was waiting, her hands on her hips and her foot was tapping. I fought hard to not laugh at the glare she gave me, I just couldn't be afraid of her.

"Well it's about time. I never thought you would stop talking to the cowboy up there. Now come on, I want to show you the garden!" Alice said, before pulling me quickly out the back door in the kitchen.

When we walked out the back door I felt like I had stepped into a different world, the garden had a beauty to it I had never seen before. It felt so magical with cob-stone walkways and the most beautiful blooming flowers. Beyond the garden rested a forest that had a few marked trails leading into it. Alice showed me the green house where Esme had different vegetables growing that she sold at the local market, and the stable where three beautiful quarter horses were boarded. I was amazed at the beauty of the estate, and I don't think I ever once closed my mouth from it's awed expression.

"And this is the last thing I wanted to show you, the pool." Alice said before leading me down a walk way that went to the other side of the back yard to a swimming pool. It was long, and seemed to be an infinity pool, with clear blue water and rock walls. There was a diving board and a hot tub attached on one side.

"It's a salt water pool, I hope you don't mind. I know you're use to the chlorine but I promise it's the same. " Alice said, glancing at me because I hadn't said anything yet. At everything else I "ooh'd" and "ahhh'd" at the beautiful structures and plants, but this I had mix feelings about. Although the pool was gorgeous, no doubt about that it made my gut wrench. It was a reminder about what I was missing at home, my dream. My chance to go to the Olympics.

"It's beautiful Alice." I said finally, turning from her to wipe the tears from my eyes.

What was with all this crying?
