Chapter Ten

Bella POV

After Alice tried on fifteen different outfits we were able to leave the house. Of course Carlisle and Esme were keeping a close eye on Alice when we walked by. "Alice, you know the rules, abide by them. No humans in this house."

Alice gave a smirk, "Okay. I will not bring him here. I don't even know if he will be there, my mind could be playing games with me again."

I knew better, "We will see you guys later."

I closed the door behind and before Alice could even speak I told her, "Alice, I am driving, just in case you meet this person. I want to have a ride home."

She had a smile on her face, "That would be good. I wouldn't want to leave you there."

I climbed into the car and I couldn't help but wonder, how can you have sex with a human when you were like this? Couldn't you kill them? I tried to figure it out on the way to the club but I couldn't come up with a probable reason. I turned the car into the parking lot, "Alice I have a question and I don't know how to ask it."

She started laughing already, I hate when she knew what I was going to say. "Okay, okay if you know what I am going to ask answer the question then."

"It is simple Bella, you have to control yourself, and as long as you don't use your strength it will be great." She got out of the car. Could I control my strength with Edward, was I willing to even try this with him? What if I hurt him?

I climbed out of the car and walked beside her. "Alice, do you see this guy becoming one of us soon?"

"It is hard to say Bella. He doesn't even know the truth about me yet. But he will someday." She had another smile playing on her lips.

We reached the front of the club, of course another line but Alice got us in with no problems. We made our way to our usual table. We were actually a little earlier than the last time we came here. I glanced around the club, looking for anyone that might recognize me. As I was looking towards the bar, I saw a girl that looked familiar. What was her name?

I said, "Alice, that woman over at the bar, the one in the red slutty dress, do you know her name?"

"That is Katie, what is she doing here?" Alice got a worried look on her face. She gently pulled me over to her, "Bella, she is one of us now. Carlisle told me that we have a new cousin, she must be it."

But the family wasn't supposed to come in until the weekend. "I thought they weren't coming until this weekend?"

"Our cousins Bella live their own life, they like to cause trouble. At least Tanya does, I don't know the new one yet." She still seemed worried while she spoke.

"She looks familiar to me and but I am not sure where from Alice."

"I hope she doesn't recognize you. I don't see Tanya with her, so we should be safe. She won't know me."

"Why is she here out of all places? Do you no any good reasons?"

"No, I don't. But I am sure she is up to something."

Just then we saw two guys walk into the front door, one of them must be the guy Alice is waiting for. She started jumping up and down in place. "I take it that it is one of them?" I couldn't help the smile that came across my face. She was shaking her head up and down. The men were still turned around and I couldn't see their faces yet.

I turned back to Alice, "What is his name Alice, can you see that yet?"

"No, not yet but I am glad because I wouldn't be able to help myself from calling his name." That wouldn't look crazy at all. I lightly chuckled to myself. Alice just gave me a weird face.

"Don't worry Alice, I will be good. Go ahead." I am used to being lonely now.

"No, he has to have a drink first. I can't just walk over to him right now. He just got here." Alice sat back into her chair.

She had a point, but as soon as the men turned around I could feel my face get even paler. It was Edward; I was looking straight at Edward. I whispered to Alice, "He is here Alice, Edward is here."

"What? Are you serious?" She jumped back out of her chair.

"He is with the man you are looking for." Just then Jasper turned around. Oh my god. I turned around so they couldn't see my face.

"Alice, we have to leave. That is Edward. The other guy with him is Jasper." I paused, " I knew him."

"Bella, he is the one I have to be with. You know Jasper?" I shook my head yes.

"Wow, what a small world." She couldn't help herself. Alice was glad that I knew Jasper? She looked at me more serious, "You have to leave Bella."

I couldn't just leave her there. Not without knowing this is going to work. I glanced back over to Edward, luckily he didn't see me. I noticed he was staring at the girl in the red slutty dress though. Katie. Why would he be looking at her?

Oh no. It couldn't be that Katie. "Alice, I know where she is from now, that Katie girl."

"Where, Bella?"

I was gazed over. I dropped the glare I was sending her way. I didn't want her to notice me. "She was Edward's girlfriend before me. I have to go Alice. I am leaving."

I was on my way out the door when I was caught by someone tugging on me. It was Emmett. "Hello, do I know you?" He asked me.

"I don't believe so." I glanced over to Rosalie, I knew her all to well. She was one of my best friends. I would never forget her.

Emmett turned to Rosalie, "This is weird, she looks just like Bella, except a little different."

I started to walk away, "Sorry I couldn't help you guys. Bye."

"Bye." They both said at the same time. I left them looking puzzled. Their faces were almost as white as a ghost. I keep walking fast to the car and hopped in. I had to get home. That was to close.

When I got home Esme was sitting on the couch watching the night news. "Hey Esme, I am home."

"Bella dear, what are you doing home so soon."

"Edward was there, and the guy Alice has been looking for used to be my friend, Jasper. Too many people were there tonight that I recognized. I didn't want to be noticed." I started to walk towards the stairs.

"I am glad you decided that Bella, it is too risky if you get noticed. Carlisle has been talking about that lately, he thinks you are ready to see Edward."

I flopped down on the couch, "Really Esme, can I see him? Please?"

"Carlisle is going to speak with him tonight. When Edward gets home, he is waiting at his house."

I pulled her in for a big hug. I wanted to see him but most of all I wanted him to see me. I was different. At least he knows I am alive, he just doesn't know the truth. "Thanks Mom." She hugged me even tighter.

After three hours of pacing around the house, wondering where Carlisle and Edward were right now, I was ready to leave. I walked out of the house and got into my car. I had no idea where to go. As soon as I was ready to pull out onto the main road my phone began to vibrate.

I flipped open the phone, it was Carlisle. "Bella, where are you now?"

"I am just pulling out of the house."

"We need to talk, take the car back to the house, and run to the river. Follow my scent."

I hadn't used my scents to follow someone yet. "Can I do that?"

"Trust me Bella, come now."

I parked the car in the garage and headed around the house. I started running and before I knew it I was at the river. I took in a breath of air and there was that sweet smell. I ran towards Edward's house.

Carlisle whispered for me to stop. I could barely hear him. I must have run right past him. I turned around and made my way back to him. "Carlisle what is going on?"

He had a serious look on his face. "I want you to see Edward, but you need to hunt first. I don't want anything to go wrong."

"I went hunting with Alice before the club. I am good."

"No Bella, this is going to be the closest you ever have been to a human. Listen to me. I need you to hunt."

I didn't want to wait any longer, but maybe he is right. "Okay."

The itching sensation started back in my throat. I let my instincts kick over again. I like to call it hunting mood. Two hours later, and six deer later, I couldn't drink anything else, even if I tried. "Okay Carlisle, please no more. I don't want to wait any longer."

He started to run. "Okay Bella, follow me."

We ran to Edward's house and I started to feel nervous. How is this going to work? Can I just waltz in there? We came to a stop about one hundred feet from the house and began to walk in. "Bella, it is going to be okay. I need you to wait out here until it is time to go in."

Then I was left alone, on his porch none the less. I sat down on the swing that I new to well. I closed my eyes and let the memories come back to me. I laid here in his arms so many nights, it seems so long ago. Will he love me and want to hold me the same? Will he want me at all?

Just then I heard the door handle start to turn. I stood up and walked in front of the door. When it opened and I could see Edward, it felt too real.
