I'm back. Sorry about the hiatus. I decided to do this chapter in third person like it was in the first. Bella's relationship with Alice

and vigilantism will progress. Will there be bloodshed?

Bella had been going out with Alice in secret for close to a month, the Cullen's didn't know that they were more than friends except maybe the women, like Rosalie. Charlie wasn't aware about Alice at all other than the fact that she was the daughter of the town doctor. Bella made a habit of climbing into Alice's window to cuddle in bed beside her, eventually Alice got the same idea. One night when Bella was alone in her room "working" at her computer she kept hearing a creaking noise, she kept looking over her shoulder at her window half expecting someone to come up from behind and strangle her. The window was locked along with every other window and door in the house, she wasn't expecting anyone, not even Alice to drop by. At school Alice said she was coming down with something and it was probably a good idea to remain secluded at her house. Bella waited to see if she would appear online but she guessed she must have turned in early. Feeling tired, she shutdown her laptop and walked over to her dresser, that's when she got a surprise that shook her to the bone. Alice was there. She wasn't standing there a moment ago, it was almost as if she just appeared. Bella didn't know what to say she simply put her arms around her.

"Did I startle you?", she asked the taller girl who at the moment was burying her face in her shoulder.

"Yeah, a little! How did you get in?"

"Window", Alice said without hesitation.

"But I locked every window and door in the house, Houdini!", Alice laughed at that, she had her ways.

"I thought you were sick?"

"I wanted to surprise you."

"Well, you did. I was about to go to bed, want to join me?"

"You don't have to ask me twice", said Alice, wide eyed and delighted.

They climbed under the covers.

"You're bed is so comfy", said Alice snuggling in.

"You're so beautiful", Bella said, drifting off topic as she leaned in closer to her.

Alice grabbed a hold of Bella's shoulders and brought her in for a closed mouth kiss.

"Does your family talk about me?", asked Bella as she put her hand on the small of Alice's back.

"Yes, but they don't think of you in a bad way if that's what you think."

"What do they say?", asked Bella curiously as she played with Alice's hair; Alice pondered this.

"They think you're a very nice girl and they're glad that we're both friends."

Bella giggled

"If only we were just friends."

"So, what would you call us?", asked Alice lifting one eyebrow.

Bella started to blush a little.

"Well, I really like you Alice and you really seem to like me so I guess..."

"Are we going steady? Like a legit couple?", said Alice making Bella giggle more.

"Well, yeah. I was thinking we should make it official that we are going out. I do consider you more than just a good friend", said Bella trying to hold back some laughter while Alice began tickling her neck.

"Why are you laughing? Are you making fun of me?"

"I can never tell if you're joking or being serious when you say things like swell time and going steady. You're so old fashion, I love it!"

"It's just the way that I talk! Ha ha. You talk strange", this made Bella lift an eyebrow.

"Oh, yeah?"

"Yeah, it's hard for me to know what you're talking about when you go on and on about your comics. But it is really cute because you're so excited about it."

Bella kisses her forehead, she can't find the words to express how she feels; she didn't think Alice would ever truly understand how much she cared for her. Alice started to kiss Bella from her collarbone up to her lips, this caused an electric sensation all over Bella's body. They hadn't advanced to anything other than kissing, Bella wanted to make sure they were both ready; she said she could wait and that she would make sure it was special for her.

The next day the two hung out under a stairwell at lunch where they believed no one could see them, Bella had her hands all over Alice.

"Bella, are you sure no one will catch us?"

"Don't worry, baby", said Bella in between kisses.

Alice heard footsteps, she pushed Bella away and looked to find the source. Her eyes widened in fear, Angela was standing perfectly still, she didn't look too surprised to see the two of them embraced.

"It's okay! Sorry, I didn't mean to interrupt!"

Bella was calm, Angela already knew. She just forgot to tell Alice about that subtle detail, the spiky haired girl looked up at her for a second with a little bit of fear in her eyes.

"It's okay, she knows", said Bella.

"She knows?", asked Alice.

"Don't worry Alice, I won't tell anyone. Bella didn't even have to tell me, I found out on my own", said Angela with a slight smile.

Alice gave Bella a light punch in her shoulder.

"Why didn't you tell me she knew?"

"I was going to tell you, I just wanted to wait for the right moment."

Angela was getting a kick out of the couple arguing.

"Um, so do you guys want to do something after school? That is, if you're not busy."

Alice's face lit up.

"Do you want to go shopping?"

"Yes! I'd love to!", said Angela over joyed.

Alice hugged Angela, Bella and Angela shared in a little laugh over Alice's excitement. Bella was glad no one was around, not to say she was embarrassed but she didn't want to draw too much attention. The three agreed to meet after school and look for clothes, much to Bella's dismay. As the days went on, the three hung out a lot, people started to wonder what allure Alice Cullen was starting to have on her fellow students; nobody wondered more than Mike and Jessica.

"She's going to take everyone at this table away from us", said Mike.

"She's creepy, I think she's brainwashed them or something. I am starting to think her family is a cult of some sort, I mean nothing about them is normal!", said Jessica in a bitchy tone of voice.

"You'll be next!", joked Nathan.

"Don't even start!", Jessica snapped back.

Meanwhile Charlie and his crack team were still after the mystery hoodie girl and so far had nothing, once the two frat boys were able to give a description they couldn't give any more information other than her height and that she was kind of hot. Bella was surprised how long it was taking, she was expecting Charlie to raid her room. Her room had been off limits to everyone but Alice, but even though they were close there were still some things off limits to her.

In her closet was her personal project, it was ready; she was pleased that Super United was still having auditions and accepted her extension on the video which she promised they would receive shortly.

She decided to scan the streets for some smaller crimes than what she had run into. Everyday at school people would come up to Bella and ask her what was up, she would dismiss them saying she was fine and that she was going through some things and that they shouldn't be concerned. Alice sensed something was up, something big was going to happen and Bella was holding back on her. She let her eat lunch with her siblings, Bella seemed to only concentrate on eating. Edward had asked Bella a question, but she was zoning everyone out.

"Bella", said Alice.

Bella looked up from her plate of cafeteria cuisine.

"Edward asked you a question, hon."

"Oh. Sorry Ed, what's up?"

"I just asked if you played baseball. Our family gets together some times, you look like you'd have quite the arm for pitching. Think you'd want to play?"

Bella thought about this for a minute, she wasn't exactly the sporty type, she wasn't very coordinated especially when it came to hitting balls like in volleyball. She looked at Edward confidently.

"Yeah, sure Ed. Any time."

Edward gave a sly grin as if to say he could clobber her at it any day; it was definitely a change from actually wanting to clobber her.

"We'll be having a game this Saturday afternoon", said Jasper eagerly.

"You're on!", said Bella shovelling her spoon into a plate of God knows what.

Everyone but Alice seemed excited, she was growing concerned about Bella and her health.

That evening at the diner, Alice talked with Angela about Bella in an effort to make some sense out of what was going on with her.

"I'm not sure what's up with her Alice", said Angela as she sipped a cup of tea. "She's a mystery to me as well. Like she's hiding something. Have you tried talking to her about it?"

"Yeah, but she just tries to change the subject. I ask her about the muscles..."

"You don't like her muscles?", asked Angela a little baffled.

Alice smiled a cheeky smile.

"Well, no I don't have any problem with those it's just like she's preparing for something."

"Preparing for something?"

Alice looked around the diner to see if anyone was in ear distance.

"Can I tell you something? Just know up front you can't let anyone else know, not even Bella that I told you this", Angela nodded, "Bella seems to be really into comic books and I think it has something to do with that. She hangs out with Lucas a lot and I think he's into that stuff too."

Angela cringed a little to Lucas's name.

"Yeah, he is. I guess that does explain why they hang out. But he's such a creep."

"He wouldn't make her do anything against the law, would he?", Alice asked a little concerned.

"No he's just a little queer...no offence", said Angela stopping herself.

Alice just smiled.

"None taken. I'm just worried that something terrible is going to happen to Bella. I have vi...a feeling."

Angela put her hand on top of one of Alice's on the table to comfort her.

"Don't worry about it Alice, if you want I'll sit her down and have a talk with her about what's really going on. I won't bring up the comic shit. You have my word."

"Thanks, Angela that means a lot", Alice said looking as if she is going to cry but holding back.

"I think I should get going. My family doesn't like it when I'm late."

Alice looks down at her watch, it's after 8.

"Yeah, I should get going too. Want me to get the bill?"

"No, that's fine", said Alice reaching into her purse.

Angela exited the diner and went to her car, as she fumbled with her keys she felt a drop in temperature. She looked around the parking lot, there was no one outside but her. When she finally got her key in the lock she had trouble turning it, like it was frozen but it wasn't even that cold out. That's when she heard a voice, calm yet menacing.

"Hello, having trouble?", asked a tall, pale individual.

Angela trembled at the sight of his red eyes, the smile he made was almost demonic. She should have ran or called for help but Angela found it difficult to move, her eyes were fixed with this creature of the night; it was like she was under his trance.

"N-No", she managed to blurt out.

"You smell very nice", he said as he lifted his arm up, exposing the sharp claws on his hand.

He was ready to lunge at her, Angela still couldn't move. There was no when in sight to come to her rescue, Alice was still inside and was certainly taking her sweet time. Angela couldn't let out even a whimper at this point.

"Do not worry, I will be sure to make it quick!"

Just as he was bringing his hand down on her something shot out into the air, a small streak of red almost invisible at the speed it was being hurdled at. The creature didn't know what hit him. A red arrow made it's way out of his forehead, even though he should have keeled over and died the beast just refused to give up. But as soon as it looked like he was going to run away another came for his heart. As he fell to the ground, Angela remained perfectly still; she didn't know what just happened, one minute she was going to be killed the next somebody killed this guy even though there was nobody visible out in the lot. Finally Alice walked out of the diner, she was digging her key out of her purse when she stumbled upon the scene. She rushed over to Angela and put her arms around her, she looked down at the body.

"Holy shit!"

She couldn't believe what she was looking at. Angela broke down into tears as Alice tried to comfort her. Alice was scanning the area, she noticed a far off tree, one branch moving caught her eye, she squinted hard to see a figure. The figure was dressed like a ninja, only wasn't camouflaged, they wore bright red. A bow is still gripped in their hands after a perfect shot, a collection of red arrows rest in a pack slung over their shoulder. A red mask covers most of their face. A set of perfect lips are the only visible features of a human. She never found she was the most coordinated person but it would seem she just proved her old self wrong.

So yeah, kind of wrote this one quickly. Tell me what you think, this story is coming to an end soon. I've noticed some stories on this site go on for 30 chapters but I don't want to put

a lot of unnecessary elements into this and don't want to bore you all. Thanks for the feedback. Chapter 11 soon!
