Hey! I'm so sorry for not writing in a while!

At school they try to kill you with too many assignments.

But here's the next chapter!! I hope you like it!

It had been one year since I had become a Vampire and I had loved every minute of it.

Well, most minutes of it.

Some days, when I was feeling anxious, I would go and check on Charlie. I had more control than before, even though when I started I had had good control. It always made me sad when I visited Charlie. Jasper would always come with me, just to make sure that I was feeling OK. Charlie still hadn't gotten over me leaving him yet. He slept with a picture of me by his bedside, and no one had entered my old room for about 2 years.

It was a sad time for me, visiting Charlie. It always brought back my human memories, even though they were so dull compared to my ones now. In fact, I could hardly remember my human life at all. It was like a human remembering a good dream that they once had. It was never as clear as you had wanted it to be.

I had considered visiting Charlie a number of times, but Jasper always told me that it was bad and that I could kill him so easy. But I knew I would be able to handle it, but what would Charlie do? Seeing me would probably give him a heart attack.

Maybe, we could come up with some random story about me being found somewhere. I had been taken back to hospital and looked after very well and to fix me all up, surgeons had to operate on my face.

I thought that it was a reasonable idea.

I had consulted Jasper, Edward and Carlisle about it, but they never gave me a straight answer, only 'It could be dangerous,' or 'He would be upset.' But I knew Charlie, and I knew that he would still love me even though I was a vampire.

My theory would work; I could see that through my visions, even though Charlie wasn't as clear to see as my new family, no humans were.

If I decided to go alone, Edward would know. He would tell everyone else and they would come to get me and tell me that it was wrong. Maybe we didn't have to tell Charlie that I was a Vampire and only tell him the lie. He would never guess what I was.

"Jasper," I pleaded one day, "Please can we go and see Charlie! I know that this will work out!" I said, and performed my most innocent little grin.

Sadly, Jasper could see past this.

"No, Alice. It is Dangerous."

"But I can see that it will be fine! Please?" I begged.

I could see in Jasper's future that he was umming and arring about this.

"Go ask Carlisle. If he says yes, I will come with you," he said, and smiled his gorgeous smile.

"Yes!" I said, smiling, for I already knew what the answer was going to be since Carlisle had already heard the whole conversation.

"Can we go Carlisle?" I pleaded when I reached his study.

He sighed, "Why bother asking," he said, and then smiled.

"Oh yay!" I shouted, and then ran straight down to Jasper.

He smiled. "Let's go then," he said, and then we were off, running through the trees on our way to my father.

"I hope this goes well," He said softly.

"It will," I reminded him, smiling widely.

"I trust you," he said.

"You should," I said and then laughed.

The good thing about visiting him now was that my eyes weren't looking as scary as they were when I was first changed. They were now like Jasper's, but for this special occasion, I had put blue contacts in.

We were almost around the corner to my old house. Charlie was at home, I knew that.

"You should build him up to telling him that I'm here. I want to surprise him," I whispered.

He nodded, and I stood behind the bushes silently. Jasper knocked on the door and I took a deep breath. I could hear Charlie rising from his lounge and coming forth to see who had just knocked his door. Not many people did now though, so he was surprised. He had quit his job because he was so full of despair after my loss, and I blamed myself. I was so selfish.

He opened the door slowly, peering through the cracks to see what it was. He groaned quietly and opened it wider when he saw who it was.

"What are you doing here?" he asked angrily, like Jasper reminded him too much of me.

"You'll soon find out Chief Swan," he said.

"Don't call me that," he huffed.

"You know what happened…. last year," Jasper started.

"Go away," Charlie shouted and tried to close the door, but Jasper held it open.

"It's a long story but… come out," he said, gesturing to me.

So I skipped out into Charlie's view. His heart skipped a bit as he stood there stunned. I looked down, remembering that I probably looked scary and strange to him now.

But instead, he smiled wildly, forgetting about the past. Jasper stepped out of the way. "Alice? Oh Alice!" he finally shouted, and hugged me tightly. I hugged him back softly though, hoping that I wouldn't hurt him. He was crying, and was probably wondering why I wasn't. He shuddered as he touched my skin though, but he ignored it.

"What… how… when… oh Alice! I've missed you so much!" he said, and then hugged me again. I was also glad that I was able to deal with my thirst very well, because if I wasn't able to. this would have gone down very badly.

"I've missed you so much. It's such a long story," I said, and smiled.

"Alice," he said, suddenly serious, "You look different."

"As I said, it's a long story."
"oh please tell me. And come in, I don't want you standing out there in the cold! You're freezing Alice," he said.

"I know," I said, "It's pretty cold," and I acted out a small shiver as I walked in.

"Talk to me," he said.

"Well, You know about the plane crash?" I asked.

He nodded.

"Well, some helicopters found my body on some island and they brought me to hospital. I was pretty beaten up, and it hurt a lot, so they had to do plastic surgery on my face to make it look better. I recovered quickly," I said, and then smiled.

He nodded again, "But you weren't flying over water? How could you be on an island?" He asked. Woops, I had missed that one.

"Did I say that?" I quickly improvised, "I meant I was found um… I'm not really sure where. Jasper might know though."

Charlie quickly turned towards Jasper, "And?"

"They found her in a small forest were most of the others died," said Jasper so convincingly.

"Um… and how did you get there?" he asked. He was so observant!

"Carlisle still is a doctor, and he was called to help some of the patients. When he saw Alice, he took her to the nearest hospitable and looked after her."

"Why wasn't I informed?" he asked.

"We couldn't contact you," Jasper quickly said.

Charlie still looked like he wanted answers, but he didn't care. "Oh Alice, I'm just so glad that you're safe. Do you know how alone I've been? And when I heard of that plane crash I was distraught."

"But I'm here now, and that's what matters," I said, and then smiled as I felt the contacts disintegrate revealing a pair of golden brown eyes.

Charlie noticed it as soon as I had though.

"Alice, what's wrong with your eyes? They look like his," he said, and motioned towards Jasper.

I was in trouble now.

"Um… I'm not sure. Carlisle must have done something wrong. I really don't know."

"But your eyes were blue 2 minutes ago. What's going on?" he asked. I was getting scared, and Jasper could feel it.

"Nothing," Jasper said, "They change with the colour of the surrounding. It happens to some people. Outside was blue, and in here is a darker brown colour." "You know, I actually have heard of that," he said, and we all laughed together.
