Hey Guys, so I'm sorry for not updating fast enough, I just had a lot of syllabuses from last week that my mom made me sit down and read I'm also not going to make this chapter the party. I know I said I would but I still needed material for why Edward was so intrigued by Bella. The next chapter should be up within the next 3 hours . Oh, and some of you said that it would be better if I wrote one part of the story in Bella's POV, then continued with EPOV. But you're all really going to want to read what's going through his mind when certain things happen as well. OK the, read and review. (I like long ones). I hope you enjoy this chapter!

Chapter 5: It's Alice

~BPOV~

After school Thursday, I went home and went straight to doing my homework so I would have time to go shopping later that day. I was halfway through an essay when the light above my bedroom door flashed, signaling that there was somebody at the door. I quickly ran down the stairs, only tripping twice before I stumbled with the lock on the door.

"Hello?" I asked opening it to see a man in a uniform holding a long, thin, white box.

"Package for Isabella Swan." He said.

"That would be me." I replied before signing my name on a piece of paper. The man smiled and passed over the box. I took it inside and read who it was sent from. There was no name.

Suspiciously, I retrieved some scissors and opened the box. When I spotted what was inside, I gasped. It was the perfect party outfit. It was a deep midnight blue dress with the right amount of frills and black and white water marks. Along with the dress were a pair of flats with triple flower designs and. And last but not least was the jewelry. There were three dark blue Bengals with golden swirls on them, there was also a plain, but unique heart shaped necklace.

Whoever had sent me this went way overboard. I needed to give this back to them, but I didn't know who it was from. Most likely Renee. I went upstairs to email her and ask her if she was the one who bought this amazing outfit for me.

~Alice's POV~

At the beginning of the week, everything had gone from normal; to confusing in one step. I hadn't thought much of the odd case between Edward and Bella until the period after lunch that day. I was in Spanish 3 with Jasper and had been watching Edward to make sure that he didn't do anything stupid, that was when the human tripped. What surprised me the most was that Edward seemed worried like the rest of the kids that were in the class.

That was when everything changed, for the better, I don't know. I had had a vision after he jumped up to check on Bella. It was short and blurry, but it was definitely ideal At least for me. Bella was sitting in a building with us. Edward had an arm around her waist and was smiling bigger than I had ever seen him and I was standing next to her my arm over her shoulder. Almost as if we were best friends.

I snapped out of the vision and I could feel myself start to get excited. Jasper looked over at me curiously, but sent calming waves to me so that I wouldn't vibrate in my seat.

"What did you see?" He asked in a vampire whisper.

"Nothing, but can you please keep me calm?"

He smiled and sent another wave of calm. I thanked him with my eyes and blocked my thoughts before Edward found out what was going to happen someday.

Then, Thursday, I was watching Edward constantly glance at Bella. He was already showing signs of having a crush, but I wasn't going to tell him. I couldn't let him know that this human would eventually be his mate and my best friend. Another vision popped into my head after a short argument with my brother.

Bella, driving into Port Angeles in her big red Chevy. Then her at a store, buying a horrid olive green dress with faded gold sequins. That dress definitely did not go with her skin. Then her wearing it at Jessica's party while Jessica and several other girls were snickering at her behind her back.

No, I won't let that happen to her. I stopped my train of thought there and instead thought about dresses. That was harmless enough.

The bell rang and I stood and told them I was going shopping and why they couldn't come. When Rosalie didn't say anything, I mentally sighed before running into the woods to go to Seattle. Like always, I had my credit card with me and I didn't need to go pick up a car.

I ran into Seattle only 20 minutes after and went straight to my favorite store. Inside, there were several clerks greeting me. Telling me the new fashions that were dropped off since last week I thanked them and went straight the dress section. There were ball gowns, sun dresses, dresses that were way too nice for a regular party. Then there were party dresses. I went straight to that rack and started looking through it. There was a bright pink dress with beads sewed into the fabric at random places. A purple dress with blue and white flowers, and then there was a pretty blue dress that would look great with Bella's skin complexion. It was a midnight blue with white watermark designs in it. It had the right amount of frills and a pretty neckline. Of course I snagged it and took it to the clerk for them to keep until I was done in the store. Next on my list were shoes, then purse and then jewelry. If I had a say in it, Bella would be the most beautiful girl in that party, and hopefully, she would catch the attention on my brother.

~EPOV~

Alice had gotten home around 9 p.m. carrying a giant cardboard box. Her mind was blocked from me and she ran all the way up to her room to lock herself in there. I looked at Jasper confusedly and he just shrugged.

'It's Alice.' He said in his mind to me.

I got up and without letting anybody know what I was doing, I went for a hunt. I had been hunting every day this week, I didn't want to kill Bella. It wasn't her fault that her blood sang to me.

I wasn't sure where I was going at the time. I caught a few deer before deciding to go on a run to think and as I ran through the trees I quickly slipped into thinking mode.

At first, I was thinking about my family and what Alice has been up to, but somehow my thoughts slipped to Bella. Why was her blood so potent to me? And how did I stop from hurting her the first time? I know Alice had been holding me down, but if I truly wanted Bella's blood like I thought I did then I would have pushed her out of the way and exposed us all. But somehow I stopped. It was like there's something about Bella that keeps me from hurting her, even though everything else seems to hurt her anyways.

She seemed unlucky enough, maybe that's why I didn't hurt her, because I felt sorry for her. But I didn't know she was clumsy at first, I had just thought of her as a normal everyday human, didn't I? It was so confusing.

I wasn't sure where I was running until I heard the thoughts of a man. I didn't think much of it at first until I saw the police cruiser out of his eyes. This had to be Chief Swan, Bella's dad. He was thinking of what Bella had made for dinner. As soon as he walked through his door, I saw Bella. She was standing in the kitchen at the stove. She didn't turn around or even seem to hear her father enter the house.

He walked up to her and tapped her on the shoulder. She jumped a little and turned around to face him. I was caught off guard by her turning around. I just watched as her face turned a delightful bright pink color, and by the look in her eyes, she was embarrassed from being startled like that.

'Hey Bell's, what'd you make?' He asked as he tried to keep from laughing.

'Stir fry. We had too much fish in the freezer, so I decided it was about time we made some room.'

'Good idea Bell's. Now I can go fishing this weekend.'

Bella's face lit up. 'oh yeah dad! You know Jessica Stanley right?'

A few faces ran through his mind until he found the right one. 'Yeah.'

'I'm going to her party Saturday night. I'll be home by 10:30.'

'Alright Bell's, but if anything goes wrong, just text me.'

'It's no problem dad. I have everything covered.' With that, she went upstairs out of Charlie's sight.

I sighed when she was no longer in sight and came back to my own mind. That was when I realized I had been sanding here for about half an hour in the pouring rain listening in a stalker-ish way to what was probably Chief Swan and Bella's nightly ritual.

I had about decided that it was time that I go home, but that was until I caught the scent of the one and only human that had ever intrigued me. She smelled different in a way, more potent. I had to see what was up.

Unwillingly, but out of my own control, I started running to her house. It was a small white house with a muddy looking front lawn and no neighbors. But I knew this was her house, who else had a big red death trap in this town.

The lights were all off and there was the deep sound of snoring from what I assumed was the chief's room. But then there was a light mumbling from another room right in the front of the house which I assumed was Bella's. I went forward and started to climb up the tree that was in the front lawn. Every time I pulled myself up higher, I was fighting between right and wrong.

I had to go back, but I was so curious. I had to stop, but I couldn't. Only when I had finally reached the top of the tree was when I made up my mind to leave after a quick glance.

Her room was a light purple, it was neat and clean and she had the usual furniture. I caught sight of her bed and looked in it to see the sleeping human. She was wet, probably after taking a shower. That was probably the reason why her scent was stronger than usual.

She moved in her sleep and I was forced to leave just in case she woke up. I knew one thing though, my curiosity was not satisfied.

~BPOV~

Friday morning, I woke up and shivered. Something just felt wrong, but I brushed it off and went down the stairs to make myself breakfast. Charlie had already left according to a text I had gotten. The amazing dress was up in my closet, ready to be sent back to my mom. I had not gotten a reply from her yet saying if she was the one who sent the dress.

I packed my things into my backpack and walked out the door, only to see that ice covered every inch of the driveway. Great.

I got in my old Chevy and drove to the school nice and easy. There was hardly any traffic. I pulled into the lot and parked in the spot closest to the fence, so I would be able to hold myself up. No need to entertain the general population with my constant clumsiness. As soon as I was out of my truck, I caught a glint off my tires. There were snow chains. Had Charlie done this? This was the nicest thing he's done for me since I got here.

I was so focused on the tires that when I suddenly felt something cold and hard slam into my side, I was caught off guard. I felt the impact of my head on the concrete and I knew that it was going to bruise. Who had done this? What had happened? Immediately after touching the ground, I looked up just in time to see a green van wrapping around the bed of my truck, right where I had been.

It spun around a little bit and the van started coming after me again. I was pulled away from it and tucked underneath something. I looked up to see none other than Edward Cullen holding me protectively. He seemed to be using his body as a shield. I watched in wonder as he stuck his arm out and stopped the van with his bare hand, leaving a dent in it. The van stopped and the one thought that shot through my mind was 'did he really just do that?'
