A/N: Sorry I'm not feeling too great, but I managed to squeeze this out. I know how desperate you all are for answers, and we are getting there. (Soon, I promise.)

Chapter 10

Edward arrived back later that night, just as I was beginning to fall asleep. I was surprised to see that the person, he brought back with him, was a short, skinny woman with spiky black hair. She hadn't been what I had been expecting at all.

Jasper appeared to know her as after he was done embracing Edward he pulled her straight into his arms, and then placed a kiss on her cheek. The woman pulled away blushing. I could be wrong, but I was guessing that there was a history between the two of them.

"How are things?" Edward asked, giving a brief glance in my direction.

"Fine," Jasper replied.

"Anything I should know about?"

"No, nothing."

I wondered why Jasper didn't tell him about our trip outside today. Perhaps he was waiting until they were alone later or maybe he was trying to win me over by keeping it secret.

I had been too busy watching them and trying to hear every word that they said that I had noticed the woman had approached me until she sat down on the bed beside me.

"Hi," she smiled.

"Hi."

"I'm Alice," she said offering me her hand.

"Bella," I responded as I shook it. "Well, at least that's what they told me my name was."

Alice giggled. "It is your name, Bella."

"You know me?" I asked, surprised.

"You could say that."

"How do you know me?" I asked, desperate for any information she would give me.

"I'm not sure I can tell you that, at least not yet."

"Please," I begged her in a hushed voiced. "They haven't given me any information about myself … I don't remember anything."

"I know," She said as she reached over and squeezed my hand. "It's why I am here ... To help you."

"Then please, help me."

Alice laughed. "You always were so strong minded and pushy. I will help you, but I have to rest first," She said as she kicked off her shoes and lay down on the bed. "You should get some rest too, you'll need it for tomorrow."

"Why? What's happening tomorrow?"

Alice sat back up and looked over at me. "Do you remember what a Druid is Bella?"

I shook my head, hoping she would continue.

"I'm a Druid Bella. People say we are the keeper's of knowledge and the masters of magic, and tomorrow I am going to use my abilities to help you get your memories back."

I stared at her in disbelief. I wasn't sure that I believed in something like magic.

Alice lay back down and closed her eyes. "Rest Bella. You're going to need your strength for tomorrow."
