She hated that Edward was getting closer to the girl. Every day he would come out to the cars whistling and happy. Alice would pout that he was hogging her best friend. It was colder this afternoon and even though they didn't feel the cold they still wore simple jackets, albeit designer ones.

Edward approached with a frown, "Something's off about Bella today."

Rosalie hadn't seen the girl in the cafeteria at lunch and had been slightly worried about her. It was the first time the girl hadn't arrived at school early in the morning and then she didn't see her at lunch. Her curiosity burned brightly but she forced herself to keep her blank face as she glanced at him.

He shook his head as he leaned against the Volvo, students filing out to their cars quickly, "She seemed afraid of something. She kept looking around like she thought she was being watched. It was starting to get to me. No one's minds were on Bella unless it was a fleeting thought about her and I talking together but that was it."

Rosalie frowned as she watched the girl run to her god-awful truck before actually driving up over the curb to beat the line of cars waiting to get out of the parking lot. She smirked at the bold girl with all these witnesses watching her, but at least the truck was good for something.

Edward laughed at her thought and she grinned at him.

She spent the night worried about the girl. She could see how happy the girl made Edward, a friend he was in desperate need of but didn't know it until now. It warmed her heart to see how he talked about her and the fact that he hunted every morning before school so he wouldn't slip and hurt her. It made her wonder why she couldn't let go like him.

Was she so broken that she couldn't interact with humans anymore? Was she destined to a life of never talking to humans and only speaking to vampire's and the occasional supernatural element they came across?

She hunted before school and they arrived early again the next morning. The enormous roar of Bella's truck met her ears and she smiled to herself as she slipped out of her car. She loved seeing the girl in the mornings. She seemed more relaxed than when she wasn't around people or pinned in the cafeteria. She watched the girl park and slide out of her truck before grabbing her bag and shutting the door. She sat her book bag on the hood and adjusted her earbuds before looking down at her phone. Rosalie assumed she was searching for music.

Tyler's van sped towards the turn into the parking lot and everything seemed to happen in slow motion to her. The van turned at too sharp an angle and hit a patch of ice as Tyler tried to turn the wheel. The sound of tires sliding through the ice and slush met her sensitive ears as it slid straight towards Bella. Alice gasped as the vision hit her and Edward disappeared.

Her heart dropped into her stomach as pain seared her mind. She couldn't see the girl as the van slammed into the back of the truck, metal on metal filling the air. The van rose onto two tires before it fell back onto all four, unmoving as silence filled the air.

A scream filled the air and Rosalie couldn't move as Alice grabbed her arm, "We have to go."

She could only stare at the spot where the girl had been standing seconds before. Now there was a van in the same spot and the girl was nowhere to be seen. She felt empty, hollow inside not just her mind but her body. Alice jerked her into the passenger seat of the BMW as the pixie slipped behind the wheel. She didn't want to believe it, but it had happened so fast. How could she have missed it? She's a vampire for fucks sake how was she not able to move when she needed to move the most.

Rosalie didn't notice where they were until Alice yelled at her, "Rosalie!"

She turned to look at the pixie, her mind blank and slow.

Alice smiled at her, "She's fine. Edward made it to her in time. She's at the hospital with Carlisle. She's got a few scrapes but she's safe. Edward saved her Rose."

Pain exploded in her chest, relief quickly following. Slowly her body relaxed, one by one her limbs regained feeling. She nodded not understanding the strange pull in her heart, someone gently tugging on it. She felt the need to run, to go in the direction it was tugging her. She sat confused on the sofa as she waited for Edward and Carlisle to return home.

Rosalie Hale doesn't do emotions. She's more the suffer in silence type but when she heard their running footsteps, she blurred off the sofa as the door opened. She slammed into Edward's chest, wrapping her arms around his neck. Emmett skidded to a stop as his eyebrows shot up and his eyes widened at the sight. Alice and Jasper were grinning ear to ear. Esme smiled widely as her eyes shined with venom tears.

"I'll never forget this." She said in his ear.

He patted her back reading her thoughts. The relief that Bella was safe, the guilt for not seeing it sooner, the pain of not knowing if the girl was alive or dead. The shame of showing such emotion in front of everyone. He smiled, "I wasn't going to let my best friend get squished Rosalie."

She pulled back and he winked at her. She narrowed her eyes at him, "Thank you for that imagery brother." She shoved away from him quickly and slipped across the room.

Carlisle chuckled as Edward walked to Emmett, "That was the best welcome home I've ever seen."

Rosalie knew if she could blush, she would but thankfully she hadn't hunted since that early morning. She stared at the floor as she listened to Esme ask, "How is she?"

"She's fine. A few scrapes but she'll be alright."

She looked up at him, frowning at his tone, "What's wrong?"

Carlisle stared at her, "Edward said out loud that she hit her head." He glanced at his son who seemed to shrink against his already large mate, "So for appearances I gave her a CT scan and an x-ray just to be on the safe side. Charlie didn't object and he was more than willing to be on the safe side. Bella however was not an easy patient and now I know why."

Rosalie didn't like where this was going. He was either going to tell that Bella had a limited lifetime that would be over soon or… She felt her heart freeze at the thought of not seeing the girl ever again. All the pain from that morning rushed back into her body and she felt a slight panic grip her chest.

Carlisle frowned, "I won't tell you much, but I will say she's been through a lot and none of it was good."

She felt Jasper's calming wave and this time she let him overpower her emotions. She watched Edwards eyes turn black as he read Carlisle's thoughts. He grabbed Emmett's hand and they disappeared into the forest. She nodded at Carlisle before she walked slowly up the stairs with Jasper and Alice behind her. Alice waited in the doorway while Jasper pumped as much calm as he could into Rosalie. She wanted sleep this time. She didn't want to feel anything, and she smiled at him as she collapsed on her bed, asleep before she hit the pillows.

.

Rosalie stood next to her BMW after school the next day still trying to shake the dream, she'd had the night before. She hadn't seen the girl all day and it was unnerving her again. The dream had even centered around Bella. The girl was standing alone in a clearing in the woods and she stumbled across her on her hunt. She moved closer as Edward appeared and gripped her throat. She tried to get to the girl but the faster she moved towards her the further the girl became. She was running an endless battle for something that she wanted.

When she had jerked awake, as Edward's teeth sank into the girl's neck, she was truly terrified. She couldn't shake the feeling that she was missing something. She had never put much stock into dreams, that was Alice's area but something about this dream felt like her subconscious was trying to tell her something. Something that her conscious mind was refusing to listen to. She was utterly confused, and she hated it.

Alice was avoiding looking at her and she knew that the pixie was keeping something from her. Edward came brooding their way with his hands clenched into fists from the woods beside the school. He had skipped his last two classes for some reason, and she was suddenly wondering if this was what Alice was keeping from her.

"What's wrong babe?" Emmett asked appearing at his side at once.

He growled angrily, "She's going to La Push this weekend."

Rosalie's heart clenched, that girl was going to be the death of her one day, "I swear that girl is a danger magnet."

He rolled his eyes at her thought and her contradictory words, but he kept it to himself. He shook his head, "I couldn't talk her out of it and I'm pretty sure she has us figured out."

She froze, "Figured out?"

He nodded with a sigh, "She's been considering," he grinned at Emmett, "Kryptonite and radioactive spiders."

Emmett laughed, "Yes! I can't wait for her to come over."

Rosalie shook her head, "Not happening. She cannot find out about us Edward. It's bad enough that you have been talking to her and now you went over to her house. Why are you doing this?"

She hated that he was putting the family in danger like this. It wasn't his place to, he already had a mate, and one friend wasn't worth casting a death sentence over the family for.

He frowned at her thoughts, "Do you know what it's like for me? Think about it. If you could hear every thought around you before you even asked a single question, what would you do if you suddenly had to ask questions and be surprised about the answer. Answers that you weren't even expecting. Rosalie this is a once in a lifetime chance for me."

He was begging, pleading for her to understand. She did, she truly did understand what he was saying, and she would probably do the same, but the fact remained that the family was in danger because of this. Didn't he care that he was putting his mate's life at risk over some human girl whose mind he couldn't read?

Edward glared at her, "She's not a risk to us. She's going to be family. Alice has already seen it." His eyes widened, he said too much.

She turned her glare to Alice, "What?"

Alice glared at Edward, "This whole time you wouldn't let me tell her and then you just blurt it out like that, wow."

Rosalie held her hands up, "What aren't I being told?"

Alice frowned, "I've seen Bella more and more. Always the same. She's one of us."

She didn't think, she just ran. This could not be happening. Making her one of them was taking away what made her Bella. She was human and she deserved to live out her life. She deserved to get married and have children. This isn't the life she would have chosen and forcing that on the girl was not fair. She wouldn't stand by and let them do this to her. She had her whole life ahead of her.

Her anger propelled her deeper into the forest. How they could even suggest such a thing was beyond reason. It wasn't right to force the girl into something like this. She slowed as a more rational thought crossed her mind. What if Bella had to be turned? Is that what Alice couldn't see yet? Could she not see how Bella was changed and if so, could it still be prevented?

If she kept an eye on the girl long enough could she save the girl from ending up in a fate worse than death?

She doubted it since her family seemed keen on keeping the human. It wasn't like the girl was a pet but that was exactly how they were treating her, and they hadn't even spoken to her yet. Only Edward had. They were all going by what Edward was saying. Was he the reason that she had to be turned? It made her uneasy knowing that he had been alone with the girl.

She spent the weekend wondering where the girl was or if she was okay, was she safe or had one of those mongrels on the Rez lost control. Edward kept getting angry at her since she was shouting her thoughts at him constantly. Esme made them both hunt more than usual and she had a feeling that it was more so to keep them from attacking each other in her house. She really hated when they destroyed something during a fight.

Monday morning finally came, and she felt like she needed to get to the school early. Once there they stood leaning against their cars as they waited for school to start. Bella didn't arrive that morning and she was forced to her classes without being able to see the girl. She couldn't shake the feeling that she needed to see her. The girl was human and was only going to expose their family. The proof had happened twice already. She was dangerous to them but no one in the family would listen to her. They only laughed and looked at her like they knew something she didn't.

She sat in the cafeteria with her siblings, "I'm telling you Edward, this is a bad idea."

He rolled his eyes at her, "She's my friend."

Alice entered the cafeteria and plopped down in her seat next to Jasper, "This isn't fair."

Jasper wrapped an arm around her, "What is it darlin'?"

"Bella is going with Angela and Jessica to Port Angeles, dress shopping." She dropped her forehead onto the table with a heavy sigh.

Rosalie glared at her, "She deserves a life Alice."

Alice's head snapped up to glare at her, "She's going to be my best friend Rosalie."

She rolled her eyes at the Pixie and continued to scan the cafeteria looking for nothing in particular. Make that someone. She frowned when the girl never entered, and she was forced to endure the last two classes in a bad mood.

Once school was over, she enjoyed a relaxing bath before heading out to hunt. She hadn't been able to take her mind off the girl for the entire day and the images of her dream kept forcing its way into her mind. It seemed the faster she tried to run the more forceful the images became. She drained her elk and returned home to find Alice frowning.

"What's up Alice?" She asked as she sat on the sofa with a magazine.

Alice turned to her, "Bella's future disappeared."

Rosalie didn't think, she tossed the magazine onto the couch and headed for her car.

Alice stood on the porch watching her, "She's at a bookstore in Port Angeles but I'm not sure where it is."

Rosalie made it to Port Angeles in ten minutes, down from a human's hour. She patted her car's dashboard proudly as her phone rang. "What Alice?"

The pixie's voice was vibrating anxiously, "I saw her in an alleyway Rosalie. They surrounded her and…" A sob broke through Alice's voice.

She stomped on the gas as she ended the call and drove to the bookstore Alice had told her about and noticed the shadows moving in an empty parking lot behind the bookstore. She swung her car into the parking lot and found Bella being held by two of the four men that surrounded her. All five heads turned in her direction as she gunned the engine. The men jumped back but Bella stood very still. She blurred out of the car with a murderous look at the men.

"Bella, get in the car." Her voice was low and unfamiliar to herself. The predator in her was showing as she kept her dark look on the men.

The girl didn't hesitate, she slipped into the car and shut the door as Rosalie glared at the men. One of the men that had a hold of Bella's arm glared at her, "We were just about to have some fun."

Rosalie blurred forward and snapped the man's arm backward, the sickening snap echoing off the walls around them. The other man that had his hands-on Bella reached out to her and she gripped his wrist, shattering it, before bending it under and snapping it in half. The other two men raised their hands and backed away quickly.

Rosalie blurred back to the car and slammed it into reverse before spinning it around and flying out to the road. Her anger was barely under control and she could feel the fear rolling off the girl next to her, "What were you thinking? Going down a dark alley at night with no one around."

The girl stared out the window silently.

She frowned as she realized she hadn't spoken to the girl before. This was how they were going to have a conversation for the first time. She shook her head, the beast inside still raging over the men that had been touching the girl. She couldn't stand vile creature's like that, whether human or not. She glanced over at the girl again and sighed.

"Have you eaten?"

The girl shook her head, "No but I can eat when I get home. Just drop me off up here and I'll catch up with Angela and Jessica." Her voice was soothing her anger.

She frowned, confusion at her own thoughts. This was a human girl that had possibly just seen her break two grown men's arms right after they were going to assault her, and the girl was calm. Not to mention she was calming her down by just speaking. If vampires could get headaches, she would have one.

She parked at the curb and got out of the car as Bella unbuckled. She opened the girl's door, and a small blush covered her cheeks as she stepped out. Rosalie couldn't help but smile slightly at the girl's reaction. She walked beside her to the two girls that exited the restaurant.

"Bella there you are. We were getting worried." Angela said in relief.

Jessica stared at her, "Oh. Rosalie, I… We…"

She nodded at the two, "I wanted to apologize for keeping Bella. We bumped into each other at the bookstore and got caught up talking."

Angela grinned at Bella, "Oh. It's no trouble at all."

Jessica was smiling at the girl, "Yeah. Well, we should go." She glanced over at their car.

She suddenly felt uncomfortable. She didn't want to be separated from the girl currently. She wanted to make sure she ate and was safe. If she could stop whatever was going to happen to make Bella turn, she would have to be around the girl more. She didn't particularly like the idea of interacting with the human, but she also didn't hate the thought either. Maybe this way she could find out why her family seemed so taken with the girl they barley knew.

Rosalie frowned, "I kept Bella from dinner so I should make sure she gets something to eat. I'll take her home."

Bella nodded, "It's fine you two go home. I'll see you tomorrow."

Angela grinned, "Okay. See you tomorrow."

Jessica waved her fingers, a flirty tone entering her voice, "Bye Bella."

She felt revulsion flare in her chest at the blonde girl and the urge to break the girl's fingers crossed her mind. She shoved the thought out of her mind as they waited until the two girls were in the car before she turned to Bella, "Shall we."

Bella shrugged and led them into the dimly lit restaurant. They were led to a booth in the far back corner away from other people so they would have a little bit of privacy. Bella kept her head down and avoided looking at her at all costs and she felt slightly hurt by it.

She shook her head as they sat across from each other in the booth. Why should she care if this human didn't want to look at her? Most humans tried to go out of their way to avoid them in any way. Perhaps she had expected different with her since she had taken to Edward so easily. Edward wasn't exactly easy to get along with, at least from her point of view. So why did she get on with him so well?

The waitress sat two menus in front of them and she could feel the waitress's eyes on her, "What can I get you to drink miss?"

She eyed her companions tense body, her silky brunette hair hiding her face like a curtain. "Tea."

The woman nodded, "For you?"

Her lip curled up at the woman's tone toward Bella, but she stayed quiet as the girl snapped, "Pepsi."

The waitress moved away, and she sat back in the booth, tapping her fingers on the table, "Why were you in that alley?"

Bella shook her head and focused on her hands on the table, "It was a shortcut." Her body tensed as if waiting for something to happen to her.

She wanted the girl to look at her. It was overwhelming, the need for the girl to look up at her. She shifted uncomfortably with her confusing emotions, "Why were you even on that side of town?"

The girl stayed quiet as the waitress reappeared with their drinks before turning to her, "What can I get for you hon?"

She smiled when Bella's hands clenched into fists on the table before she shoved them under the table. She filed the action away to think about later as she gave the annoying woman a quick pasta order. The woman turned a glare on Bella and Rosalie felt the growl in the back of her throat but swallowed it instead. What was wrong with her?

Bella gave the same order and the waitress turned back to her, "Is there anything else I can get for you hon, while you wait?"

She felt her annoyance on a thin line but shook her head, keeping her eyes on Bella, "No."

Once the waitress was gone Bella smirked, "I think you just smashed her dreams for a date with you."

Rosalie grimaced, "She's not my type."

Bella nodded, "Oh, yeah I forgot about Emmett."

She felt her heart clench in pain, "What about Emmett?"

Bella shrugged, "Never mind."

"No, you brought him up. What about Emmett?" She frowned at the girl who refused to look at her.

"I forgot that he's your boyfriend." She shook her head and fell quiet, a slight blush covering her cheeks.

She felt another flash of pain in her chest. She rubbed her chest trying to sooth it, but it didn't work, "Who told you that?"

"It's obvious for one and for two Jessica not to mention Edward."

She felt the soft growl escape her lips, but the girl didn't hear it. "Edward said that he was my boyfriend?"

Bella shrugged and began to twirl her knife in her fingers.

She was going to kill the brat when she returned home. Why would Edward tell her that? What would Emmett say if he heard of this. Not claiming your mate when you find them was a dangerous game. It could cost more than just pain and more time without them. She shook her head. She would be confronting him when she returned home.

She focused back on the girl in front of her. She didn't seem as jittery now compared to when they were at school. She seemed more relaxed like when she would arrive first thing in the morning in the school parking lot. It was nice but strange how the girl was so different.

The waitress sat their food in front of them and they ate in mostly silence. She didn't know what to say to her, what could she say? She refused to expose them, and the girl seemed distant. She only answered a question when directly asked and would stay silent the rest of the time, trying to stay invisible so no one would see her.

What happened to the girl that made her so withdrawn and anxious around other people? Why could she be around Edward alone and not have that subconscious voice in the back of her mind telling her to run that most humans had. She watched the girl's right hand begin to shake halfway through the meal and she quickly hid it beneath the table, switching to using her left hand to finish eating with.

When they were done and the waitress cleared their table, she finally forced herself to speak, "Why do you like Edward so much?" It had been bothering her for a while. What was so great about him that Bella had been taken with?

Bella frowned down at her hands in her lap, "He's honest. Brutally honest sometimes and it's refreshing."

What ever answers she had thought up that was not one that she had expected. It surprised her. Most people didn't want the truth about certain things. Bella seemed to crave it.

Why? Had she been lied to so much in her life that if anyone was willing to be honest with her, she would like them?

The waitress returned with their check and she tossed the money on the table. While it hadn't been the best conversation she's had, it had been the most intriguing. This could be what was drawing her family to the girl. Her need for honesty and her lack of understanding at how much danger she was in by being with them. Especially Edward of all people, the whole singer aspect and all.

Then again, the girl was smart so maybe she did know how much danger she was in and was choosing to ignore it. Stupid human. She felt ashamed instantly at the thought as she led the girl back to her car. Everything was only more confusing now than it had been before she had dinner with the girl. She had so many more questions than answers, but she didn't want to keep asking. It wasn't good for them to spend more time together than they already had.

She pulled out of her thoughts when she noticed the girl's hand shaking. She had turned the heater on full blast when they had entered the car, but the girl was obviously not cold anymore. She reached for the heater at the same time the girl did, and their fingers met.

A shot of electricity and excitement shot up her arm and exploded in her chest. The girl's fingers were so warm against her cold skin and they both jerked back as if they had been burned. She frowned as she stared out at the road, trying to understand the sensations that were filling her. Where they had touched, her fingers were still tingling as the town of Forks flashed outside the car.

She parked in front of the Swan house and turned to face the girl. Bella became nervous as she opened the door and looked back at her one more time before slipping out of the car and hurrying to the front door of the house. She watched the girl disappear inside a strange pull in her chest now that she couldn't see her. She sped home and sat in her car once she turned it off.

The girl's scent filled the car and a strange calm settled over her body as she breathed deeply, closing her eyes to enjoy the feeling. It was a complicated situation, and she was still confused by everything that she had learned and still didn't know. She wanted to be with the girl, yet she knew she couldn't because it would only be a matter of time before the girl figured it out.

She needed to put distance between her and the girl, force the family to see how wrong it was to be near her.

She exited the car as Edward stood on the porch, "It's not going to happen. We need her in our lives and so do you."

She glared at him, "Why?"

He smiled softly at her, "You have to figure it out on your own." He disappeared.

She really hated his cryptic ass sometimes.

For the rest of the week, she noticed the girl didn't show up for school in the mornings and she wasn't in the cafeteria at lunch. Edward stopped talking about her, he also avoided her as much as possible, and she wondered if the girl was even at school at all. By Saturday she cornered Edward while he was out hunting.

"Why did you tell Bella Emmett is my boyfriend?" She asked with a glare.

He shook his head, "I didn't say that I just didn't correct her at the time. Emmett already knows so you can stop thinking about telling him."

"What do I know?" Emmett asked as he dropped from a tree with a grin.

She kept her eyes on Edward, "Why does she still think Emmett is my boyfriend?"

"Maybe because you won't even talk to her." Emmett grinned as he wrapped his arm around Edward's shoulders.

She watched them blur away as she stood frozen. Why should she talk to her? They weren't supposed to interact with her, why was she the only one that understood that.

.

.

Monday morning the bell rang, and they began to walk towards the building. Bella's truck pulled into the lot and she felt relief as the girl parked and slipped out, bundled in a thin jacket. The girl glared at Edward for a moment and he tensed. She felt uneasy as she watched the girl walk towards the woods and Edward frowned before following her curiously. She took a step towards them, but Emmett caught her wrist.

"Let them go."

She shook her head, a warning bell ringing in her head, "He could hurt her."

He laughed, "If he hasn't yet he's not going to. Come on. We're going to be late."

She felt anxious throughout her classes and by lunch she felt like she was going to lose it. Jasper sent her a calming wave as they entered the cafeteria and she let herself relax. She took his feeling of calm and convinced herself that if Edward had killed the girl at least no one was the wiser for it and they could get back to their normal lives.

Of course, thinking that the girl was dead sent her into a panic that Jasper grunted at, causing him to send an even stronger wave of calm to her. Steadying her in her time of confusing uncertainty. Twenty minutes later she frowned as her panic began to cloud her mind again.

"Where's Edward?" She searched the room, "And Bella?"

Alice chuckled, "They're in the woods, up near the mountain range he hunts at."

A strong surge of rage filled her body and growled uncontrollably as her body tensed and coiled at the idea of the girl being in his hunting grounds. She could leave now and be there in five minutes, but he would only need seconds to drain her. Not to mention they had half a day head start and she could already be dead.

An overwhelming need to sleep filled her body and she snarled at Jasper, "Stop it."

"You need to calm down Rosalie. You're going to go into a rage right here in the cafeteria." Alice snapped at her, a serious tone to her voice.

She frowned down at her tray as the feeling disappeared quickly, "I don't know what's happening to me. I haven't felt this emotional since I was a newborn."

Jasper smiled softly at her, "I honestly thought you would have figured it out by now, but I know better than to bet against my Alice."

Emmett chuckled, "Edward can read her mind and he still bets against her Jasper."

Jasper grinned, "It's part of the fun."

Alice growled at her mate, "Watch it or I will make you suffer like that time ten years ago."

His grin disappeared instantly as he nodded, "Yes ma'am." Rosalie rolled her eyes at her siblings as she focused on Bella's empty seat across the room.

Maybe her family was right. Maybe she was in denial.

But about what?
