I stumbled along after Alice as she led me into the woods behind my house, confused thoughts running around my head. I was elated to see Alice but nervous to, as I sensed she had something big to tell me, all this non-verbal tense atmosphere was leading up to something and I wasn't sure what to think or feel. Suddenly I felt myself stumble over a branch - just my luck - and bracing myself for the impact, I was suddenly in the air, held tightly against a cold stone-like body.

"Don't look up" Alice whispered in my ear, her cold breath skimming over my cheek, making me shiver in silent delight.

My head was buried in her neck as the wind whipped around fiercely, the only thing protecting me from falling were her arms around me, which was ironic considering she was smaller then me. Wait, how can she lift me for so long... Before I could finish that train of thought she gently set me down and I was stunned speechless by the sight before me. We were standing above a beautiful waterfall, in a cave of some sort. The water glistening off the rocks below created a stunning shimmering effect, it literally took my breath away.

I glanced at Alice next to me and saw that she was watching me with a gentle, amused expression on her face. Our eyes locked and I swear I stopped breathing for a second. Her eyes just drew me in, they were so beautiful and golden, like honey. My heart fluttered in my chest, my cheeks heating up the longer we stared at each other. I could see her smile growing with each second that passed which made my heart speed up and cheeks go tomato red with embarrassment. Eventually she glanced away for a second and I managed to compose myself before she danced over to me, giggling softly as she pulled me into a hug.

After a few minutes she pulled away, looking somewhat reluctant about it which made me happy as I pretty much felt the same, I could hug her forever. She indicated that we sit on the boulder just to the right of us. Once we were seated, she looked away and seemed lost in thought for a few minutes, her face blank and scarily distant. Suddenly she looked at me and smiled softly, as though sensing my worry and trying to ease it.

"So, I'm guessing you're wondering why I brought you here. Well, I have a few things I need to talk with you about and I'm not exactly sure how it's all going to plan out. I ususally know everything, but with you it's different. I'm totally blind around you. It's facinating but frustrating and worrying at times, it's kind of what first drew me to you. Well, that and your beauty." She smiled at me softly, looking in my face for some kind of reaction and seemingly finding what she was looking for, she took a deep breath and carried on talking.

"As you've probably noticed by now my lovely Bella, I'm not normal. I don't mean the usual awesome weirdness that I am, I mean really not normal. Me and my entire family aren't. I guess before I tell you how we're different, I should explain what I can do. Before I do though, I just want you to keep an open mind in everything that I'm about to tell you. Some of it will be difficult to understand but I would never lie to you, I promise. Most of it will be downright unbelievable but I ask you to keep an open mind so you can try and process it all in the best way possible" The entire time she was talking my mind was whirling with endless questions but yet my mouth stayed closed.

I was suddenly terrified of what she was about to tell me, knowing it would 100% change our relationship from this day on, and this is what terrified me the most. I didn't want to lose her and I think that's what I was scared the outcome of this conversation was going to be. Despite not knowing her that long she had somehow over the last few days, fit herself into my life and my heart. However, all I could manage right now was a weak, uncertain nod in her direction, barely able to look at her for fear of what I'd see.

"I can see the future Bella. It's not concrete, my visions change if people change their minds, go down different routes, but I can see the future all the same. I understand if you don't believe me, if you think I'm crazy. I mean, I would too if I obviously wasn't me. The thing is, I've always been able to see anyone's decisions, anyones future. Except yours. I honestly don't know why that is. It scares me, no terrifies me if I'm honest...Bella, please say something" She looked at me with an oddly vulnerable expression on her angelic face. I saw in her eyes how much this really meant to her, how difficult it had been to tell me all of this. At first, I was apprehensive and not believing her at all but as she talked more and more I started to believe that what she was saying was the truth.

There was just something in her face, the raw emotion in her eyes that just screamed sincerity at me. Alice wasn't the type of person to lie to me, she was the most honest, genuine person I'd ever met. And, now that I thought back on it, I guess I'd always known there was something different about her. She was just so magical and beautiful, it's like she wasn't even human. Both her and her family were completely out of this world. I glanced up suprised when I heard Alice shift on the boulder beside me. I studied her silently whilst she was seemingly lost in her own little world, or maybe visions I should say. Sigh. It was all so confusing. She looked worried, I could see it in her eyes and her body language, the way her shoulders were tense and the slight frown that marred her forehead. I had a sudden urge to run my hand over the frown to remove the lines and make her smile, like the Alice I was used to, the one I missed. I felt suddenly guilty, thinking maybe I'd put her under all this stress.

"I'm sorry I haven't said anything sooner Alice, I jst wasn't sure how to react to what you've told me so far. At first, I must admit I was fairly sceptical and didn't really believe you, but I can see in your face that you're sincere in everything that you've said, and for some reason I trust you. I feel like you'd never intentionally lie to me. To be honest, I always suspected that there was something different about you, I love that your different. Normal is overrated nowadays anyway. I think it's pretty cool that you can see the future but I am confused as to why you can't see me, I wonder why that is? Anyway, I guess what I'm saying is I believe you Alice and I still want to be your friend, if you'll still have me."

I looked at her softly, watching her study my face, letting her see the acceptance and truth in my face. Suddenly, I'm thrown off guard when she throws herself at me. She wraps me up in her cold embrace and I finally let all the tension from the past few hours melt from my body. We stay like that for sometime, just breathing in each others scent. Eventually she pulls away slightly, still close enough that our noses are nearly touching. She looks deep into my eyes and seems to consider something before she closes her eyes and breathes softly. She re-opens them a minute later and the words that come out of her mouth shock me into silence.

"Bella, there's something else I need to tell you... I'm not human" She looks at me softly, probably waiting for me to laugh or run as far away from her as I can. But I can't. It's like I'm rooted to the boulder by an invisible force holding me in place, so I do the only thing I can do in my current situation. I speak.

"What are you then?" I ask with some trepidation.

"I'm...me and my family...we're vampires."
