Chapter 8: Grizzlies

Bella's POV

I walked up to the grizzly. It was much taller than I was and ugly. I wasn't very hungry and the bear certainly didn't look very appetizing but I needed a way to pass the time.

The bear took a swing at me and I was out of the way before its massive paw had even come forward an inch.

I leapt onto its back and my fangs pierced the flesh on the back of its neck. It stopped thrashing almost immediately and I feasted on its blood.

It wasn't all that bad, really. It definitely wasn't as good as human blood but it could have its possibilities.

I finished it quickly and walked away. I wandered around for a while. I didn't want to go back home because the Cullens might not be gone yet. Truthfully the only one I wanted dead was that Edward. He had tried to stop me and that was unacceptable. Plus in that fake little story of theirs he left me. Who would want a boyfriend like that?

I was deep in thought when for the second time that day I was bowled over by Alice.

"Why the hell did you do that?!?" she hissed furiously.

"He tried to hold me back" I replied coldly.

"Look Bella," she sighed. "Edward loves you and h-""Ha!" I cut her off. "So he loves me? I don't even know him Alice! As much as you may think otherwise we have never met before! How can he love me when he doesn't even know me? Plus in that fake story he left me! Not like I would know but to me that doesn't seem like the best way to say 'I love you'"

"Bella," she tried again. "Just let me talk to you with no interruptions okay?" I just kept glaring and she took that as a yes.

"That story wasn't fake Bella. I swear to you it was true. And Edward does love you. He only left because he thought it was best for you. He cared. And you broke his heart back there, and probably his stomach too!"

Even though she was joking at the end, I knew she was serious. Did that mean that Victoria had actually tried to kill me? I shuddered at the thought. I had always held her so high in respect…but that may only be because she was the coven's leader.

I looked back over at Alice, about to say something, and I noticed her eyes were blank. I knew she was having a vision. I had heard something about it in the story of my life.

I accessed my powers and looked into her mind. I saw Edward and I, locked in a tight embrace. We were standing on ground that looked like it had just been used for battle, and when my vision self turned around, her eyes were like molten gold.

Alice 'woke up' and squealed.

"You're coming with us?!" she cried out.
