Author's Note:Hey everyone, here's Chapter 9. I was bored and I wanted to make up for the previouschapter, though, thank you to all of you who review it, Thanks it ment a hellova lot to me. But hopefully this chapter is better, plus it's like four pages longer then chapter 8.

I quite like the beginning and the middle was more for my own benefit and because I felt like it, which are both from Bella's point of view . The end half of the chapter is from the Cullens and that isn't a little less fun, but i'll let you guys decided.

see ya.


Chapter 9

Moving in and Moving On

Bella's Point of View

"Alice, get back here." I yelled, from the front door. She had stolen my apartment key. AGAIN!

For the past two weeks, Alice, Emmett, Jasper and I'm guessing Esme and Carlisle where in on the plot too, were trying to get me to move in with them. One of their brilliant ideas was to whenever I came over (which is every day, to try and jog my memory, so far no good, but laughs and some annoyance has come of this), one of them would steal either my car keys or my apartment keys.

Today were the apartment keys and this time Alice had stolen them, I know this because she was closest to my bag and because she's the one coming up with all the crazy schemes to getting me to stay.

"ALICE! I have a cat to feed!" Yes, I have a Cat and no, Emmett is not allowed anywhere near her at any point of time, no matter how well fed he is.

"So bring her over and she can live here too." Alice yelled back somewhere from upstairs.

"Not on your Vampire life." I yelled back, pounding upstairs.

"Alice, give them back." I yelled sprinting down the corridor to her room, desperately trying to watch my feet as I ran.

"Don't trip." Emmett said from his bedroom doorway and of cause, as he knew I would, I did. I right foot snagged on my left ankle, making me stagger then fall, crashing into a wall.

I glared at him as Alice slipped past him and ran back down the corridor, giggling madly as she pounded down the stairs.

"Emmett." I growled, scrambling to my feet and running back down stairs, just as the front door open and Carlisle, Esme, Edward and Rosalie came back in from their hunt.

"Have you seen Alice?" I asked, as skidded to a staggered stop in front of them. Esme sighed in disbelief.

"Did they steal your keys again?" she asked, I nodded my head vigorously. Carlisle looked amused; Rosalie lips turn up in one of the few smiles she had shown in my presence, which isn't many. She might be the smilest person in the world (though I doubt) when I'm not around but when I am she either leaves or glares at me the whole time. And Edward, well, he looked like he was trying really, really hard not to laugh.

"It's not funny." I wailed, then I notice he was holding his right hand to his chest and his finger was pointing in the direction of the kitchen.

"Thank you." I sighed, running across the huge room to the normal vacant kitchen, where Alice was hiding. When she saw me in the doorway she let out a mocking shriek and ran out the kitchen backdoor.

"Alice." I complained, but she was gone and was now off on the drive way with Emmett and Jasper, being scolded by Esme from what I could hear.

Sure enough, five minutes later, Esme and Carlisle both walked into the kitchen, with an air of triumphant, holding out apartment keys and my car keys.

"Now when did that little freak get those?" I sighed, taking my car keys from Carlisle, the two older Vamps shrugged.

"We'll see you tomorrow, Bella?" Esme asked me as if she was worried that this was the final straw. I smiled.

"Sure."

"I'll talk to them about stealing your keys." She promised me and I nodded, I knew she would and that she had, but sometimes, Mom's word just isn't enough to stop you from doing what you're doing.

"I'll see you tomorrow after school." I said, turning to walk away.

"You're doing very well, Bella." Carlisle told me suddenly, he was smiling in the reassuring way he does, that makes you feel that all is ok. I shrugged.

"At times I feel that I am but others, most of the time, everything from my human life is still just a big blank. But thanks, thanks for bothering with me." I smiled and left the kitchen before any more on my lack of memory could be said.

"Little freak." I muttered as Alice appeared at my side as I walked out the front door, towards my un-fashionable, slow car, as called by Car freaks.

"Stealing my keys and all the other crazy schemes, aren't going to encourage me to stay, you know." I told her as I unlocked my driver's side. Alice shrugged.

"We just want you to move in, is that so wrong?" Alice asked me, she looked so upset. No, was so not going to fall for the sad, puppy face. I looked away from her to the interior of my car, which didn't have anything within it that held my interest for long, so I looked out at the trees surrounding the Cullen house.

The Cullen House, which they had left over fifty-six years ago, full reasons still somewhat unknown to me, anyway the house, had been deserted, no one had live in it since them; no one had even thought to touch it. It was pretty much just left alone, waiting for its true owners to return, which they did, under a new name as to no arouse suspicion upon the people of Forks and so that no connection could be made between them and themselves from fifty-six years. Me, I didn't really get the whole thing, really. I personally didn't think it was all that smart to return to a place that you had only just left after fifty-six years, but in saying that, I too had done the exact same thing. So really I couldn't complain.

Going back to Alice's question, I sighed.

"No it's not bad that you want me to move in, actually I'm really happy you want me to. But I will only move in if everyone is happy with me moving in. anyway, if I move in don't we need some cover story as to why I'm moving in with you?"

"We'll think of something, we always do." Alice said smiling up at me hopefully.

"And everyone does want you to move in Bella, they just showing how much they want you to move in, in different ways. Please?"

"I'll keep thinking, but right now I have a stagger load of homework due tomorrow and a hungry cat to feed." I said, climbing into my car. She tapped on window which I quickly pushed the button for it to wind down.

"You still haven't thought up a name for the Furball?" she asked. I pulled a face.

"Don't make fun of my cat or my lack of imagination; I'll think up something, I always do." I sneered back at her. This time she pulled a face, then grinned.

"See you, tomorrow, don't be late because of this old this." She tapped my door.

"Don't make fun of my car either." I complained and turned it on and it started up brilliantly. I love my car. I stuck my tongue out at Alice and backed down the drive way just as Emmett appear from the trees beside the house, yelling.

"We're going to steal that hunk of junk next, Bella, beware."

"No you won't." I yelled back, trying hard not to laugh as I drove towards town, though I lost my fight when I heard Esme's clear voice yelling.

"None of you touch that car."

I giggled all the way home.


Home. Now that I had been in my apartment for about two weeks, it was beginning to become a home, with the help of Alice and Esme, who helped brighten the place up quite a bit.

As I open my front door, a happy meow came from the top of the lounge and a small multi-coloured stray jumped from it, pounding over to me and rubbing herself against my ankles.

"Yeah, yeah, I'm going to feed, hold your cats." I giggled, walking towards the kitchen the Cat, though really she was hardly more then a kitten, as said by the Vet I took her to last weekend.

I found her, the night after I came back from Italy. It was raining and I had just come home after my second visit to the Cullen's huge house, though at the moment they are going by the surname Ravenswood. Great name, I think, very Vampiry.

Anyway, I found her curled half way down the corridor from my flat, huddled against the wall trying to get warm. So there was another creature in this place who hate the rain just as much as me. After thinking about what to do for just a moment, I walked over to the poor freezing cat and took her inside. Of cause I had no food to feed her, so I had to go out again into the rain and buy cat food, by time I got back she was completely dry, thanks to my heater and very interested in the food I had for her. I know from how she dug into the cat food that she had never had it before, which quickly led me to believe she was a stray, despite this, I still asked around the apartment block to make sure no one was missing a cat. And when I couldn't find her own, which she didn't have, the landlady has allowed me to keep her as long as the apartment remains clean and intact and that the cat doesn't annoy the neighbours, lucky for me, she's a quiet cat.

"Here you go." Tune and biscuits. Yum. I think I'll be sick now. The cat however loves the stuff and she's happy so it's all good.

I sat on the kitchen bench and watched the little creature eat up the food happily. I'm not a big cat fan, I'd rather a dog, but I have had dogs and this is the first time I've had a cat for a pet.

In the fifty six years I've been a Vampire, I've had about three dogs as pets, for something in my brain had told me that I had never had a dog for a pet when I was human, so I was going to have one as a Vampire. And no, I never drank their blood. I am very fond of my dogs and I was (and still am) really sad when they died.

My last dog, a Border Collie, though she never really realised she was one, which was always amusing, when she tried to round up birds then stop and try and figure out why she was even trying in the first place. Still she was gorgeous, a real Border Collie beauty apparently, the guy who was the breeder was almost tempted not to sell her to me, but I got her and she was my Little Miss Honey.

Honey, because of her colourings, white and caramel colour when she hadn't been washed in awhile and a honey-gold when she had been. She was also known as 'Caramel Tart' for rolling over on to her back for anyone as long as they scratched her.

Sadly she died, at age fourteen three months ago, one of the reason I wanted to move.

But now, it looks like I have a Cat, which I have no clue what to name her, but she's a brave little thing, she isn't afraid of the snappy dog next door and she's not afraid of me, which is a real bonus for me, since my first dog, a stray too and hence his name Strasen, a mixed breed, took forever to trust me fully, he couldn't eat his food while I was in the room, but he got over that pretty quick, thank god.

Also thank god for the fact that the Kit was so easy to toilet train, even though being a stray, for Strasen was an absolute nightmare too.

But this little one prides herself for being clean and when she needs to go, she'll go in the tray.

"What am I going to name you?" I asked her, cradling her in my arms. It's been awhile since I could cuddle something. She just purred and was quite content, despite the fact that I was rather cold, but still she curled up on my chest as I flopped down on to the couch and switched the TV on. I need inspiration for names, and yes I'm resorting to Television soap shows to find some.


Cullens'

"Alice, you really need to stop stealing her keys." Esme sighed, trying to keep her daughter's attention for longer then three seconds.

"Bella, doesn't mind, she knows we're just playing around. If she was really upset do you think she would yell and run around after us?" Alice asked. Probably not, Esme thought, but that wasn't the point.

"Give Bella time, Alice, she'll move in when she ready." Esme said soothingly.

"It's not the moving in that bothers me, it's when we're moving out that does." Alice admitted threw gritted teeth. Now she had her whole family's attention, even Rosalie's who had been pretending to be ignoring the whole conversation, turn her head slightly to stare at Alice. Carlisle step forward.

"Alice, what do you mean?" He asked her quietly.

"I mean, that when we have to leave, I'm sure whether Bella will come with us. She may live with us for a time, but when we leave here to move on, I…don't always see her with us."

"You think she'll leave by herself?" Carlisle asked. Alice shrugged.

"She came here by herself. She's spent most of her Vampire life by herself. She said no group of vampires have ever asked her to join them nor has she asked too. She's a rogue. That's why we haven't heard about her before, cause she keeps so much to herself and maybe because she can pass for a human so easily." Alice muttered, narrowing her eyes as she started to think.

"What do you mean?" Esme asked, Alice looked confused.

"About Bella being able to pass as Human?" Esme added.

"Well for one thing, she doesn't smell like a vampire, well she does but she doesn't. and she can walk around in sun light and not glow." She empathised the 'not glow' part when Emmett open his mouth to argue.

"She doesn't glow?" Edward asked, this was the first time he had spoken since the family meeting had been called. Alice shook her head.

"When in Volterra, when she was running, her hood feel off and she didn't even sparkle even a little bit. Plus she told me herself that she didn't glow, but she still keeps away from sunny places just in case." Alice shrugged.

"So she's different from us, so what, what's the big deal." Rosalie snapped suddenly, breaking the train of thoughts throughout the room.

Alice glared at Rosalie.

"Don't you go blaming her?" Alice said darkly. Rosalie's eyes flared in anger.

"Oh boy." Emmett whispered. The rest of the family looked between the two vampire girls.

Edward placed a hand over his eyes, rubbing his temple. He was getting a headache, as was Jasper, from the sudden hustle atmosphere in the room.

"Why shouldn't I, the only reason we're here is because of her." Rosalie snapped.

"No you're here, because you followed me here." Alice growled back.

"Because you saw her here."

"You make it sound like she did this on purpose."

"How do you know she didn't?" Rosalie demanded.

"Oh yeah, she wait fifty-six years do something to get our attention then pretends to not know us, oh that's so like her." Alice taunted.

"How do you know that isn't true?"

"Cause I would have seen something." Alice snapped her anger rising.

"You didn't see her being changed." Rosalie pointed out.

"Why are you treating her like she's dirt, what the heck did she ever do to you. She's not human any more Rosalie, she's a vampire. And even though she doesn't have a clue who we are, she was still pretty willing to help me save Edward after only knowing me a couple of hours." Alice snapped.

"Doesn't mean I have to like her."

"Well, screw you, she's my friend, stop making her feel like she's unwelcome." Alice yelled at her before turning on her heels and storming out of the room, slamming the front door behind her.


Alice's Point of View

Damn Rosalie, I swear if she makes Bella leave because of how she's treating her, I will never talk to her or count her as family ever again.

In nearly every single vision I have had of Bella over the past two weeks, is of her leaving and leaving because of Rosalie and bit because of Edward.

I swear, those two need to pick up their act. Edward needs to actually talk to Bella and Rosalie needs to stop being… horrible to Bella.

Well, actually Rosalie hadn't been horrible to Bella yet, I guess I was just getting in early; maybe yelling a Rosalie now, will stop her from making Bella want to leave. But then again, my yelling at Rosalie might have been spilling oil on the fire, making Rosalie hate Bella even more.

Ah gee.

I walked threw Forks, there isn't much to do at eleven o'clock on a Monday night. I soon found myself outside Bella's apartment. I was tempted to go and visit her, but I decided against it, I would see her tomorrow and Jasper and the others where probably worried about me. I turned around and started to walked home, when.

Everything went black. Oh great, just what I need another premonition of watch Bella leave, but no…wait!

This is the vision I had when I first saw Bella after fifty six years, she is still standing in the background as a clear as day and there are people, vampires around her. They are all special and different. All of them wearing Ankhs on silver chains around their necks, the red gems in the centre of them are glowing, but… there's a blank spot, something hasn't been decided yet and Bella.

Bella looks different, even more human then she already does. What?

This doesn't make any sense and was that a wolf lurking off to the side. I wasn't sure cause the vision ended and I was standing in the middle of the deserted road.

I rubbed my face, none of this made sense. Something Rosalie and I had said during our argument suddenly bothered me but I didn't know why.


Author's Note: So what do you guys think? I thought the first bit was rather funny, the middle was for my enjoymeant, i was bored and couldn't think what to write so I just babbled for a bit about Pets and stuff. Any one, got some ideas as to what Bella should call her Cat? cause I can't think up any good cat names that i could use repeatedly and I don't feel like naming the Cat after the only two female cats i know. So any ideas or suggestions, I'd love to hear them. Anyway, i'm off topic, sort of, was the Cullens' part any good? And Alice's and Rosalie's fight, did that make any sense. Rosalie thinks that Bella's faking it all and that she's come back to hurt them all and Alice is really upset about that and the fact that she can see that Rosalie is the reason Bella is going to leave. All will be explained over time.

Thanks for reading and please review, i'm just beginning to realise just how complicated this story is going to be. (hangs head)

See ya, next chapter.
