"What the hell was that? What the hell did you just do?" she almost shrieked. I sighed and looked around. Her car was here.
"You want to go back to my place. I'll explain everything." I saw her nod slowly but before we could get inside another witch attacked.
"get in the car." I yelled at her. I pulled the knife out and threw it exactly into her heart. The witch burst into flames like the other one. I picked up the knife and jumped in her car.
"Hurry drive before more come out." I yelled at Alice. I cleaned of the knife and put it back on my side.
"What's going on?" Alice asked a bit scared.
"I don't know. But I'm going to find out." I told her.
"Why?" she asked confused as she went into our street.
"It's my job. You might not like me, but as of now, you're my innocent and I need to protect you until your safe.""What?" She asked confused.
"Alice just drive. I'll explain when we get home." With a sigh she did as I asked. She parked her car in her lot. Ang was still waiting for me. She threw me my keys and left to her house. I had to stay outside to make sure she got home safely. No need to get another innocent right now. Alice walked over to my side of the house and looked a little scared.
"Come on. I'll make you hot chocolate. It'll wash off some of the horror." I said as I pushed her inside. I turned on the lights. Still no one home.
"You were telling the truth? When you said that your parents left to Forks?" I nodded and walked her over to the kitchen. I helped her into the stall that faced the kitchen and stated making hot chocolate for the two of us.
"I didn't lie Alice. My family really is in Forks trying to put Charlie and Rene in jail."
"I just though you did it for attention." she muttered laying her head on the counter.
"I'm not as bad as Rose makes me seem. Rose and I use to be best friends you know." I told her as I handed her the mug. She looked at me surprise as she nodded.
"Come on. Let's go to my room." I told her. She followed me close behind. I turned the lights on and offered her a seat on my bed. She sat on the edge a little on her guard.
"I won't kill you Alice. Look. I know this is all confusing to you. But I promise I'm the good guy."
"First off. Why aren't you and Rose friends?" she asked confused. I sighed.
"Long story short. I kissed Jasper to piss her off because she kissed Gabe.""What?" She shrieked.
"Alice it was a long time ago. There was never any feelings between us. He was almost like a brother back then. We were in 3rd grade. Rose had a crush on Gabe and never told me. I found her kissing him. I got pissed and kissed her brother. We broke off any friendships then and there. I tried to apologize a few years later. But she wouldn't have any of that. We haven't really had any proper conversations since." I said with a shrug and took a sip of my mug.
"So what happened today?" she asked confused.
"Alright I should start from me." I told her. I put my mug on my night stand and turned to her.
"Alice, you must have realized my family and I aren't exactly normal."
"Yeah I can see that. It's like the world revolves around all of you."
"It really isn't like we make it that way. It just come with the territory."
"What territory?" she asked confused.
"Alice. I'm half witch half cupid." if I though she would get mad for lying I would have been right but instead she…believe me.
"I knew there was something different about you." she whispered.
"you believe me?"
"Yeah."
"Okay. Well anyways. All of my family and I are witches. Some of us are hybrids. You do know what a hybrid is right?" I asked her.
"a mixture of something." I nodded.
"Gabe, Roxy, Payla and I are Hybrids. Witches and Cupids. My mom is a witch while my dad is an ex cupid. When they 'created' us, he was still a cupid. So that passed on his powers to us." she nodded understanding everything I was telling her.
"Wyatt, Chris, and Prue are hybrids as well. A mixture of whitelighters and witches.""White what?" she asked.
"Whitelighter. It's sort of like a guarding angel for future witches like us or future whitelighters." she nodded again.
"The twins and Henry are the same but more witches then whitelighter. See Aunt Piper is a witch and uncle Leo use to be a whitelighter. Aunt Paige is a hybrid, Whitelighter and witch. That means her parents were once witch and whitelighter. So since uncle Henry is human it makes there kids more witches then whitelighters. Get it?" she nodded again.
"any questions so far?" I asked her. She shook her head.
"okay. Now this is going to be more difficult. Alice we fight supernatural things. Like what you saw back there. That was me fighting a witch.""But I though you were good?" she asked.
"I am. But that doesn't mean that all witches are good. You can tell us apart by our magic. We do more light blues and whites, they do fire balls and energy balls." she nodded again understanding what I was telling her.
"We also fight our worst enemies. Demons."
"What?"
"Demons Alice. They live in the underworld. We occasionally have to go done there and kill a few. Alice I was kidnapped by a Damon and put in human care. That doesn't mean that the humans I stayed with were nice though." shuddering at the though.
"So what did that witch want with me?" she asked confused.
"I'm not sure. I need to do my research." I told her.
"Bella. Why are you helping me again?" she asked.
"Alice. You might hate me but I don't have a real reason to hate you. Sure I was a bit competitive at first, and I resented that you were friends with Rose but I don't hate you. Besides you're my innocent now, which means were the only ones that can save you now." I felt arms around me and looked down to see her hugging me.
"Thank you. And I'm sorry for being so mean." I nodded and hugged her back.
"Alice for now on you can't go anywhere with out me. I'm serious Alice. You need to tell me everywhere your going to go." she nodded and looked out the window. Edward was looking at us in shock. I blushed and turned away.
"I knew I recognized that person that was with you the other night." Alice muttered.
"What?" I asked confused.
"You and Edward. You're a thing." I shook my head quickly trying to hid it.
"Don't lie….oh can I see what your powers are?" she asked. I laughed and nodded.
"I don't have many though." I told her closing the shades to the window.
"Like any witch I can do the normal's, spells, potions, charms, and scrying."
"Scrying?"
"Look for demons on a map." she nodded.
"But every witch has there own powers. As a witch I only have my aunt prues…""Aunt Prue?" she interrupted.
"they named my cousin Prue over Aunt Piper, Paige, and phoebe's oldest sister Prue. She died fighting a demon." she nodded with a sad look on her face.
"Anyways." I said trying to take that look away from her face.
"I have telekinesis because of my Aunt Prue. But everyone of us in the new generation have it." I told her. I lifted my mug from the night stand and flew it around the room before I brought it back into my hands.
"That's cool." Alice yelled. I laughed and shrugged.
"I can also Fade. But I got that from daddy. He could only do it from his Cupid ring which he gave up for mom."
"Fade?"
"I can show better then explain." she nodded. I closed my eyes and disappeared to the other side of the bed with only the trace of a pink heart in the air.
"Dose that heart always come out?" she asked.
"Yeah. Part of being Cupids kid." I joked. She nodded.
"I can also play match maker. Make others fall in love with each other. Or suggest things into peoples minds. Like today. Sorry, I'm really sorry. I saw you mad at Jazz and you were bringing down my mood so…I suggest to run off to Jasper and make up." she laughed and gave me another hug."Thanks. I would have still been mad at Jazz if you didn't push me." I nodded and hugged her back.
"I also suggested Ben to ask Ang to the back to school dance and Ang to say yes to Ben." She giggled and nodded.
"Yeah I like that powes." she said. I laughed and nodded with her. I looked at my night stand and say it was 10.
"I should get you home. It's getting late." I told her.
"Sleep over." She shrieked. I looked at her for a moment and shrugged.
"Alice." I told her stopping here from going into my closet.
"I'm only going to pick your clothes for tomorrow." she said with a pout.
"Not that. Alice. You can't tell anyone about any of what I just told you." she nodded quickly.
"I' promise not to say anything until your ready."
"Alice I won't be ready." I told her.
"You will. At least with Edward. I can see it now. I now you'll have something with Edward." I rolled my eyes and watched her go threw my closet picking out my outfit. When she came back she threw it in an extra purse and threw my practice clothes in my gym bag with a fresh towel and everything.
"come on." She said pulling me out my room. I picked up my stuff and quickly locked my house up. I pulled my cell out and dialed mom's number.
"Hey sweetie.""hey mom look. I ran into some trouble at school turns out Alice is my new innocent. I'll explain better later. But right now I'm sleeping over at her house." I said as I crossed the street.
"Ya okay honey. Just be careful and remember to call the others if a Demon appears."
"I will thanks mom. Love you." I hung up and followed Alice inside the house. Emmett was watching TV when I came inside. He almost dropped his jaw when he saw me. I saw Esme and Carlisle smiled when they saw me.
"Bella. What a wonderful surprise." Esme said giving me a hug.
"Her parents are away. And I asked Bella to stay with me." Alice said.
"Oh that's great. Your more then welcomed here dear." Esme said.
"Thank you Esme. For letting me stay here." she nodded and left with her husband.
"What the hell?" Emmett asked confused.
"Hey big guy." I said. He looked at me like I had two heads."Ignore him. His stupid. Come on. You can stay in my room. Or in the guest room." I nodded and followed after her.
"Hey. I hope you don't mind. But I need to stay in your bedroom. You know." I told her. She nodded and opened a door. Her room was cute, it was all pink with pictures and frames up on the wall.
"Alice. Mom wants to know if…" Edward started to say but stopped when he saw me.
"Hey." I waved. He gawked at me instead.
"Edward." Alice said waving her hand over his face.
"What's going on?" he asked looking from me and Alice. oh you know the same oh. I'm trying to save your sisters from evil witches possibly Demons I mentally though with a mental chuckle. I shook my head and shrugged.
"We had a good practice." I lied. Alice nodded with me and helped me put my stuff down.
"By the way Edward. I think Bella wants her bra back." My jaw fell open when Alice said this. We both looked at her and she had an evil smirk that just screamed out Oh yeah I know! we both looked at each other and Edward sighed.
"You can't tell anyone Alice." He told her.
"I know how to keep secrets." She was looking at me for this and I knew she wasn't talking about Edward and I.
"Thank you." I told her and she nodded.
"Now leave. Bella and I are going to have a girls night." She said shooing Edward out.
