DISCLAIMER: Twilight belongs to Stephanie Meyer, I just love the story and took my own spin on it. :)

Thank you Pollypoops for my 1st review! :)

Ch. 7

"Ok here goes nothing …." Alice said.

I sat there looking down at Alice as she started explaining things to me. I felt my jaw drop when she said the word vampire.

"And well I can sort of see the future…" Alice trailed off looking up at me with pleading eyes. I wasn't sure what to say back. I was completely dumbfounded.

"Bella, say something and for God's sake close your mouth!" Alice said as she stood up and walked to the other side of the room.

I shook my head and closed my eyes. This has to be a dream, just a dream I thought to myself. I could hear Alice tapping her foot lightly on the floor. When I opened my eyes she was sitting there looking around the room twiddling her thumbs.

"So let me get this straight, you're over a hundred years old, you don't remember how you became like this and you can see the future, but what about the blood?" I asked.

"Yup, yup and yup," Alice said, "the blood part is a bit tricky. As far back as I remember I could not stand to kill a human. I have never drank human blood before. Sure I was tempted, but I did not give in to the temptations. I eventually found that I could drink from animals instead and still be able to function."

"Wow, well that's good right? I mean that you don't kill …. Humans" I swallowed hard.

"It works," Alice said, "don't get me wrong, it is hard, but I love this life, and seeing the future is a plus, I always know what's going to happen."

"I'm sure you saw me then huh?" I asked.

"I did," Alice exclaimed, "it was weird because I was out hunting one day and I suddenly had this vision about you. We were in ballet class having tons of fun. The next day is when I decided to apply for Julliard!"

"You came here just because of me?"

"Totally!" Alice laughed.

"That's kind of creepy Alice," I said. I couldn't help but feel a little predator seeking prey thing going on.

"Bella, don't be silly! I am not stalking you!" Alice said as she got up and came back to sit next to me on my bed.

"I just feel a strong connection to you. It's like we're destined to be best friends. I can't see much of the why or what is going to happen, for now I just see that we are going to do everything together. Do you not like me?" Alice was rambling and as she said the last part I saw her face drop. She poked at her fingernails.

"Alice no I'm sorry I didn't mean it like that. This is all just a lot of information to take in," I said and placed my hand on Alice's hands. She looked up at me and smiled.

"Thank you Bella, you just have to trust me!"

As we sat there talking about a bunch of random things I found myself being able to open up to Alice. I hadn't had a best friend since elementary school. As I was growing up and got into my teenage years, I was suddenly the parent taking care of Renee. She was like a free bird always trying new things and I had to be there to support her when she failed. I didn't have many friends back in Phoenix and much less in Forks. I never felt the need to make friends, go out to dances or parties. I was happy practicing my ballet or studying. I guess you could say I was the perfect child. Never giving my parents reason to worry.

Alice was so intrigued by my stories. Since she didn't remember anything about her human life, she would close her eyes as I talked and then would say something like "Oh that sounds all so wonderful Bella!" or "I would have loved to see that!" We laughed a lot. It felt like I would have a permanent smile on my face from now on. Even though Alice had admitted to being a vampire just hours earlier, I realized that it didn't bother me one bit. I was curious about her, and I guess she was right, she was starting to feel like my best friend.

"Ok time for the human to go to bed!" I told Alice as I got up to go to the bathroom to change.

"Oh yes! I'm so sorry to keep you up so late Bella! I guess I must have forgotten what time it was," Alice said as she jumped off the bed.

"It's ok, it was nice to talk to you like this, I've never had someone to talk to. What are you going to do? I mean since you don't sleep?" I asked.

"I usually go out hunting at night. It's easier for me to be able to run into the woods and find animals at night without the risk of being seen."

"Oh ok, well I'm going to shower, see you tomorrow?" I don't know why it came out as a question, but everything about tonight felt surreal. I was afraid that I'd fall asleep and wake up to this all being a dream.

"Of course silly! Sweet dreams!" Alice said as she walked out of the room.

Three months later…

"Class remember that you all will have Thanksgiving break next week! Be sure to keep up with you nutrition plans and try to get in some practice while you all are home!" the professor said as the day was coming to an end.

The past few months have been uneventful. Alice and I did really do everything together. She was like the sister I always wanted. Since Alice was into fashion she usually dragged me out shopping during the weekend. I wasn't a big shopper before, but I'll admit, shopping with Alice was fun. We'd go out to lunch or dinner and she'd ask me a million questions about the food. How did it taste? Why was it that color? Why is it called that? She was too cute. In turn I'd ask her about vampire things. Are there any others? Are there any celebrity vampires in disguise?

Time spent with Alice always seems to move at vampire speed. We used to joke that she had magical powers to speed up time.

"So what are your plans for the holiday," Alice asked me as we walked out to our dorm.

"I have to go home. I told Charlie I'd make Thanksgiving dinner. He apparently started dating this lady named Sue, and he would like us to all formally meet," I said, "what about you?"

"Stay here I guess? I really have nothing planned," Alice said.

"Would you like to go with me? I mean Charlie isn't very interesting, but having a friend there might ease the uncomfortable level in the house between us." I asked. Truthfully I couldn't imagine being without Alice for five days. I think I would die of boredom! I had already thought about inviting her along with me anyway.

"You mean it?" Alice was jumping up and down clapping her hands, "I'd love to go!"

"Great then it's set, we need to book our flights, I'm so bad at procrastinating!"

"All taken care of Bella!" Alice smiled at me.

"What?" I looked at her, confusion filling my face, "But how did you…" I trailed off. We both laughed.

"Well I did see you asking me to go with you, but since you were not too sure I didn't know exactly what would happen," Alice explained, "But as the days passed I saw your future becoming more and more clear so I decided to buy the tickets yesterday."

"Oh Alice, your mind reading sure will come in handy!" I said laughing.

"I guess you must have packed my luggage too huh?" I said walking into our dorm room and I heard the door close behind me but Alice wasn't there.

"Alice?" I said opening the door, "What are you doing?"

Alice was standing in the middle of the hallway mid step and was starring out into the blank walls of the hall.

"Oh no, Alice, are you ok?" I asked grabbing her shoulder.

Alice had done this before a few times in front of me, so I knew when she did this it meant she was having a vision. I waited for her to snap out of it.

"Alice! What did you see? Are you ok?" I asked.

"I'm fine, Bella, sorry about that," Alice said.

"Don't worry about it, what did you see?

"Well now that we have officially decided going to Forks, I just saw this house in the woods. It's a beautiful two story house. We were pulling up in the rental car. We were nervous, but we walked right up to the door," Alice said.

"White two story house? Well my house is white and its two story, but not beautiful," I laughed, "more like a small shack than a house."

"I've seen you house Bella," she said, "this was different. We were going to this house for a purpose. I think we are supposed to go over there to meet someone."

"How are we supposed to find the house in the woods, or who we are supposed to meet?"

"I'm not sure, I saw the roads we were driving on, so maybe that will help?" Alice asked.

"Well that makes some sense. Guess we'll have to find out when we get there huh?"

"That's usually how it works," Alice said giving me a smile, it was a nervous smile, but a smile nonetheless. I knew with Alice everything would be ok.

Hope you all are liking the story! My target is posting 3 chapters a week, I'll try and keep it up. Please review!
