I love writing this story! Im going to be honest and say it's the only one I haven't had a writers block with. Anyway, on with the replied!

Healer: you got that right! Heck, if she pouted at me… yeah… demise.

Lynettecullen: that will be way fun to write, let me tell you. =J

Random Peep: indeed. Im throwing a twist into this one that will help her figure it out a little. And thank you!

Paz23: im glad you are satisfied. =)

trang-a-lang: never. Who could resist it? Thank you!

UltimateSk8erXD: thank you! And I will as much as possible. Ive got three projects going for school, so when ever I have free time!

xo-j-e-i-j-a-h-xo: well, im not sure what else they will do… if you have any ideas, let me know! And now I can properly do a shout out! More power to ya! I am, too. =J

I also enjoyed writing up Bella's character. I think being a gentleman is a big thing. Heck, one of my friends told me I could teach the guys a thing or two about how to treat women. I might. They tend to peeve me off a lot…

Antonia23: all that will be explained. I promise. (3

Okay… don't own twilight. I do own my OCs. =) enjoy!

Well…

Alice

We all walked out to the cars as a tight group. There were a few people from school walking around and every time they looked at me or any of the family, Bella let out a low and threatening growl. Worried, I bumped my shoulder against her elbow (okay, if I felt short before, I really felt short now. Damn, she is tall!), and squeezed her hand. "What's wrong?" I asked her.

"I smell their fear and… and their…" She growled angrily at another kid from our school.

"She's right. They're all thinking about us," Edward said as Jasper pushed a wave of calm in our direction. Bella breathed in deeply through her nose, then exhaled and looked around at my family.

"You guys… have powers, don't you," She stated in a low voice, calmer now.

"We'll all explain when we get to the house," She focused on me and I noticed her eyes soften before nodding and looking ahead again. Edward snickered and I rounded on him with a glare. He smiled innocently and Jackie squeezed his hand, smiling as well. I sighed and looked forward again when Bella gasped.

"What are these?" She asked looking at the Odyssey, then her eyes widened when she saw Emmett's Jeep Wrangler. I couldn't help the giggle that forced its was out when I looked at her face.

"She acts like she's never seen a car before," Emmett boomed a laugh.

Bella was totally lost. "A… car?"

"Again, I'll tell you later, I promise," I smiled at her.

She nodded and looked at the jeep again. "So… this is how we will get to your… home?"

"Yes,"

She scratched the back of her neck before turning to my highly amused family. "May I ride in the larger one?"

Emmett's laugh boomed once again. "Awesome! We get the Werecat!" He clapped Bella on the back before climbing into the driver's side and Rose got into the passenger's side, chuckling a little. Bella raised an eyebrow at Emmett's behavior.

"It means he likes you. You guys will be good friends," She tilted her head to the side, but smiled before offering to give me a boost. I smiled inwardly as the rest of my family got into the other car and Bella helped me into the back of the Jeep. She then leapt in herself and we were off to the house.

The whole time Bella was asking questions about the workings of the car, all of which were answered by Rose. She seemed amused by the look of pure fascination on Bella's face as she listened. When she started explaining how the engine worked, Bella's face shifted to that of someone trying to memorize every word spoken. I knew because―even if she didn't know it― every time I had told her something about me or my family she had the same look.

"This car has a V6 engine. Gas is pumped into the engine. Basically, the gas is set alight and that creates a bit of a… small explosion, propelling the car forward. The more gas, the faster the car will go,"

"Fascinating," Bella breathed at the end of it all. We had arrived at our house and I noticed that it had started to snow. …how long was I gone?

Bella helped me out of the car and we all walked into the house. The look of awe and confusion never left Bella's face as she looked around. Everyone else sat down. Dad nodded to the seats left and said, "Why don't you two sit down?" Bella nodded and we sat. She now looked at the faces of my family members. Dad started the introductions. "My name is Carlisle Cullen. I am Alice's, and my other children's, father for all legal purposes," He stood and shook Bella's hand. Esme was next, giving her another hug. "I'm Esme, the mom of the bunch. Thank you again for saving my baby girl," Bella nodded.

Edward and Jessie both stood and walked over to her. "I'm Edward, Alice's brother. It's nice to meet you," They shook hands. Jessie, who was one of the newer additions to our family, offered her hand as well. She was tall, though still much shorter then Bella. 5'8". She had vibrant red hair and a heart shaped face. "I'm Jessica, but please, call me Jessie. I'm also Edward's mate," Bella took her outstretched hand and shook it, bowing her head slightly.

Next up were Jasper and Katie Lin. Kate was a shorter woman, though still taller than me. While I was 5'4", she was 5'5", had pure white hair that was tied into a pony tail, and a slightly rounder face. They introduced themselves, Bella bowing her head again (… I might ask her about that later). Emmett, always the child of us, jumped up and grabbed Bella in a hug. Rose was calmer and shook her hand. I was impressed by her behavior. She was always a bitch to anyone but our family.

Edward snorted.

Nosey one, I thought at him.

So, introductions aside, we all sat down again and dad asked the question I was dreading. "So, how did you get surprised, Alice? What happened?" Bella looked at me as I replayed the memory to my family, and her.

I was focused on the deer that I had been feeding on. Once I finished, I stood. It was then that I heard footfall. It was light, but fast and there were many of them. What the―

I whirled around and saw Jane and seven other vampires coming after me. I got a brief vision at that moment of what they planned, and took off in the opposite direction. Unfortunately, however, Jane was already in range and I was hit with pain and fell.

They stopped, picked me up, and started to carry me off. Jane worked her… gift… until I passed out.

I woke up who knows how much longer in the cell and smelt Werewolves.

Everyone was pissed now, but Rose and Bella were showing the most hatred and anger. With Rose I knew why. She hated it when anyone messed with our family. With Bella, I had no clue why.

"But here's the thing, Alice. You disappeared two months ago," Dad was worried. Bella's hands and arms started shaking violently. She covered my hand with her own.

"Those… I cant believe they… I'm going to…" A snarl ripped through her as she looked at the floor. Seeing as Jasper was also angry, he couldn't help Bella, or anyone else, calm down. I turned my hand around under bella's and squeezed it, trying to get her attention.

"Bella," She turned her head toward me. "Bella, im fine now. You got us out. Its alright," Her eyes roamed my face, as if searching for damage, then she sighed and nodded.

"Okay,"

I noticed Jessie and Katie Lin both giving me you-better-explain-all-that-later looks. I nodded.

"I would suspect… that you wish to hear my story as well?"

"If you don't mind, yes. It would help us determine why you and Alice were taken," Dad leaned forward, resting his elbows on his knees. Bella nodded, biting her lip.

"The… Volturi, you called it?" I nodded. "Well, they have been tracking me for… three years, I believe. The first time I saw one of them, it was just The small one, Jane. She stared at me for ten minutes before I realized she was trying to use a gift and it wasn't working. I took off, not wanting a confrontation. After that they would come back with more, until they were finally able to get me. By then, there were fifty vampires,"

"Fifty?" We all echoed.

She wasn't fazed, or cocky, or anything but sad. "Yeah. They ambushed me, used weapons, until I couldn't fight back anymore,"

And it was in that moment that I noticed that she had many very faint scars covering her face, neck and hands. They were disappearing as I watched, healing still.

"So… do you guys mind telling me what your gifts are? I would tell you mine, but I am simply curious," Her face held a small smile, but her eyes were still sad. I didn't like it, but I don't think I could help her out any.

Dad smiled slightly at her. "I can retain information. Everything I read or see is stored in my brain without bias,"

"That must be useful with all these children," Bella smirked and dad chuckled.

"I'm not sure about powers, but I tend to nurture others," Mom smiled, and Bella nodded.

"I can read minds," Edward stated. "Though I cannot read yours. It is odd for me,"

"That makes me feel better about privacy…"

"I can feel and manipulate emotions," Jasper smiled. Bella nodded, muttering "Useful,"

"I can manipulate earth," Jessie smiled. Bella's eyes grow wide.

"Same, but I manipulate water/ice/other water… things," Katie Lin smiled, too.

"I'm really strong," Emmett grinned, flexing his muscles.

"I'm faster than most," Rose offered a small smile.

"Those are all… amazing. A talented… family," She looked at me, curiosity in her eyes.

"I can see the future based on the present decisions of others," I smiled. Her eyes widened.

"Fascinating!" I ducked my head, knowing that if I were human, my face would be a bit red.

"You should tell them about yours,"

"Well… I have a few, but the two biggest are my ability to… sense abilities if they are present, and I can summon and control fire," I looked up to see the impressed faces of my family.

"Dude!" Emmett boomed. "That rocks! Can you show us?"

Bella gulped. "I don't think that I—" I squeezed her hand and she nodded, "Okay,"

She stretched out her hand, and then blew on it. A small flame appeared. Everyone was impressed. She then touched the tip of each finger to the flame and part of the fire rested on that finger. I was amazed. I had seen this same fire used for destruction, I had seen her move it from finger to finger, but as the flames started jumping from finger tip to finger tip, without her moving her fingers, I was stunned. "Amazing," I whispered. She smiled, then closed her hand and put the flames out.

"That was… whoa. Your control is amazing," Katie Lin grinned at Bella, who leaned back against the couch.

"Thank you," She said through a yawn. Mom did not fail to notice and stood up.

"Alice, dear, why don't you take Bella up to your room? She seems exhausted,"

"No, I'm f-f-" She yawned again, causing Mom to smirk. "Okay, I'll go sleep,"

We both stood, but she froze. "There's someone coming," She muttered.

The door burst open, causing all of us to turn in shock. "I'm sorry. I smelt a new Werewolf and came to get them. They must not know about the tre… treaty…" The girl, who had dark skin, black hair, dark brown eyes, and was rather tall (but, to me, who wasn't?), stopped, gazing unblinkingly at Bella in shock. "Belle?"

Belle? Who was Belle? Bella had frozen, starting at the girl. "L-Leah?"

Okay… so Leah turned up. What do we think of this? That is where you come in. tell me what you think! I love you opinions.
