Chapter 4

Alice's POV

"Alright, spill." Rose crossed her arms over her chest and refused to free me from her stern glare.

I shrugged. "What's up Rose?"

She rolled her eyes and took the top from hand and put it back on the rack. "I know that something is bothering you. You love taking Bella and the little girls shopping and yet they aren't here with us."

I sighed. "Fine, alright, I wanted us to go shopping together because I knew you would be able to deal with my stressing out."

Rose raised an eyebrow curiously.

This was harder than I expected it to be.

"I can't see the wolves," I forced myself to blurt out.

Rose curiosity turned to shock immediately.

"I know, I should have told you all but I've been trying to figure out why but I can't." I dropped my head into my hands. "I feel like a fraud."

I glanced up when Rose rested a comforting hand on my shoulder.

"Come on," she said. "Let's go somewhere we can talk."

I nodded and followed her through the mall.

Much to my surprise she took us to the food court.

"Really?" I couldn't help asking.

She shrugged. "This is where other people come to sit and talk."

That was true. Okay.

I took her hand and found the most secluded table there was. Thankfully there had been a small table out of the way from the other shoppers today.

"Spill, tell me everything that is bothering you." Rose didn't let up her glare until a nodded.

I clasped my hands in front of me and sighed. "Ever since I found out that I was like Bella, I've been trying to figure out my past. There's not much to go on. Jasper said he'd take me back to the place I woke up, and see if we can find anything there, but…"

Rose took one of my hands. "But you don't want to miss anything with the little girls."

I offered her a small smile. "I know that Anna's your niece but, her powers are so much like Jaspers." I squeezed her hand hoping she'd understand.

"I have no memories of being human, I don't know if I ever thought about having kids. Jasper though has, he knew at one time that he wanted a family."

Rose nodded understandingly. "Working with Anna isn't like the trainings he did during his war times. He feels like he can teach her the way a parent would."

"Her powers have actually helped the connection between Jasper and I. Seeing her powers and their similarities to ours, they're practically a combination of ours." I sighed. "I feel more compatible with him more than ever."

Rose actually had the nerve to laugh at me.

I snatched my hand from hers and pouted, crossing my arms. "I'm trying to explain my problems to you, the least you could do is listen without laughing at me."

She tried to stifle her giggles but it still took longer for her to calm down than I thought it should.

"I'm sorry, please continue. You were struggling to find stuff about your past, or we can continue discussing your connections with Anna and Jasper."

I glared at her playfully. For now I'd drop the actual issue of Anna's powers and ours, that could be discussed at a later date; or hopefully ignored for the rest of eternity.

"Jasper thinks it will help if we went back to where I first woke up, but I don't want to be away from the girls for that long. It could take weeks to be able to track down any information. Think of all we would miss with Cissy, she's learning so fast."

I couldn't help slouching dramatically so that my chin rested on the table.

Rose sighed offering me a sympathetic glance. "What else?"

What else? There was so much that was bothering me.

"Tell me about the wolves," she suggested.

I sat dejectedly. "When we set up the meeting at Prom I couldn't see anything, I thought it was because there were too many unknown variables, but when we got to the clearing I couldn't see anything."

My hands went to my hair before I could stop them. "Jasper knows because he sensed my distress but Edward was so concerned about Bella that he didn't notice before I hid my thoughts. I don't even know why I did hide them. Well actually…"

Rose reached over and removed my hands from my hair. "This is all new to you, finding out you were a Transitional, that you're from the Other world, it brought back old and now new questions; some that even Bella can't answer."

Rose's words made me think about the first time I had really gotten to talk with Bella about this.

"Come on Bella," I tried to hurry Bella to the stairs, but she was walking so slowly. I needed to talk with her before anyone else took her. I picked her up and ran us to my room, setting her on the bed.

"Bella, I really want to talk to you. I want to know what it's like to be a transitional." I jumped up beside her on the bed. "I still can't believe I was a transitional."

Bella smiled at my enthusiasm. "Alright Alice, just calm down, and we'll talk."

I forced myself into a statue immediately.

"Alright, what do you want to know?"

There was so much that I wanted to know, there was a whole life that I couldn't remember, that I might not remember. Even learning about what I was would at least help with some of the pain of that loss. It hit me then where I needed to start.

"Well, I was wondering, could the transition make me forget my past?"

Bella shook her head. "Sorry Alice, I don't know why you can't remember, but I know the transition didn't take your memories."

The sincerity in her voice left no room for doubt. I didn't allow myself to linger in sadness though. "What's it like to be a transitional?"

Bella laughed. "Well it can be hard to be normal. Especially for Transitionals like me who have powers. Sometimes our powers just had to be in use."

"I guess that explains why I was sent to an asylum." I let out a sharp laugh despite it not being funny. I still couldn't comprehend why someone would put someone from the other world in a human asylum. Wouldn't someone have come and gotten me?

Bella wrapped me in her arms. "All the enhances to our abilities are fun. Sometimes they can be a problem but not all the time. There are a couple of "growing pains" that are uncomfortable. The changes in our senses can give a person a headache. When our bones and skin strengthen it can make you a little tender. Most of the time though, being a transitional is cool."

I laughed at Bella's description. I knew she was trying to put a positive spin on the whole transition, but I had seen enough about Bella's transition and heard enough about what was to come. A part of me was glad that I couldn't remember my transition. "Besides the fact that less than ten percent survive the transition."

We laughed at that together.

I sighed trying to help calm myself down, before asking another important one. "Getting turned early didn't do me any harm did it?"

Bella reassured me with a quick shake of her head. "No, it just meant that you became a vampire sooner."

"So you'd be fine if you were turned early?"

She glanced at me curiously all humor and joy from before, gone. "Do you know something that I don't know?"

"I was just checking, just in case. None of us want to lose you Bella. What would we do without you?" I reassured her.

"Whatever you all were doing before I came and complicated your life." She replied carelessly

I rolled my eyes. "You make it sound like that would be easy to do."

"Alice," Rose shook my arm, pulling me from my thoughts.

"Sorry Rose, lost in thought."

She motioned for me to continue.

I searched the food court while I thought about the different things bothering me. "I can't help but wonder if my powers are flawed."

"They're already flawed," Rose shot at me. She smirked when I gasped at her. "Think about it Alice. You don't see everything, you can't catch everything." She paused and I watched as a thought came to her. She smiled so it must have been a good one.

"Think about this," she started. "You see vampires best because you are one. You see Bella incredibly well, better than other humans. She's a transitional, and you were a transitional. You can still see humans because at one point in your life you still counted as one. You've never been a wolf though."

"So I wouldn't be able to see it," I gasped loudly catching on to what she was meaning. "Rosalie, you are amazing you know that."

She smirked and checked her nails. "I know, but it's nice to hear it every now and then."

"We've got to tell the others." I got up and pulled her from her seat. I was in such a rush I almost forgot about our bags; almost.

Rose dug in her heels forcing me to a stop. "No one is going to be home for a while, let's go back to shopping, or at least go grab Bella and the girls."

Rose was right of course. It would be foolish to go home now when no one else would get back till later tonight. But we couldn't just go get Bella and the girls either.

"I told Bella she was getting a free day today, we better not disturb her."

Rose agreed reluctantly and we went back to our shopping.

"So besides your past and the wolves what else is bothering you?" Rose asked as we looked through the racks in my favorite store.

If I could have blushed I probably would have. I had been so thrilled to figure out the most likely reason for not being able to see the wolves that I had forgotten about everything else that was on my mind.

"Well back to my past, no one seems to be able to tell me why I lost my memory."

Rose offered me a sympathetic smile. "You didn't know why you lost all your human memories before you found out you were a transitional. So why is it bothering you more, now?"

I picked up the red halter top I was examining and held it up to see how it would look on Rose. "It's just really hard for me to imagine that with all the things we've heard about the Other World, that I'd lose my memories after my change. It seems like the magic from the Other world would have preserved my memories.

Rose took the top I offered. "It may just be one of those things we'll never know. Would that be so bad?"

I huffed lowly crossing my arms in front of my middle. "I guess, but…"

Rose stopped me there. "Two things are going to happen if you ever find out the reason you lost your memories. Either you'll find peace, or something much worse could haunt you for the rest of your existence. Is that worth the pain you're putting yourself through right now?"

I closed my eyes and took what Rose was saying to heart. This was after all the reason why I wanted to go shopping just with her. I didn't want to stress Bella out with all my questions, and Esme while she would listen she'd rather be my shoulder of support, than the person to knock the sense into me.

Rose was the best person to have to tell it to you straight.

"It's just hard for me to wrap my mind around all of this, but I'm trying."

Rose nodded. She grabbed a blue tank top from the rack and held it up. "Do you think Bella would wear this? It's nice enough to wear out, but also casual."

I smiled at the distraction, taking it from her so I could examine it. I should have known that she wasn't done with her questioning. This was why you shouldn't let your guard done near Rose.

"Despite all your worries, I've never heard you mention your family."

My thoughts went straight to James' explanation, he never directly said that my family had put me in the asylum, but then, how had I gotten there. And if my family hadn't been the ones to put me there, then who had.

I met Rose's gaze. "I know who my family is."
