Previously:

I know that I haven't been found out yet, but there's no telling how long it will take for Ariel to see what's going on. She knows something is weird with me and probably wants to find out. I don't want her to know what's going on. Not until I'm ready.

NOW:

A week after I get my package, things turn for the worst. Nyx and Ariel stick to me like glue, and I am only alone at night, causing me to suspect something's fishy. But I savor those few hours, opting to spend very little time sleeping and most of it reliving my time with the Cullens. On one night, I take a chance and send an e-mail to Alice. I log onto my account and begin to type.

To: Alice Cullen
From: Bella Swan

Hey, Alice. It's Bella. Thank you so much for the package. I'm sorry I haven't contacted you sooner, but I haven't had any free time. How is everyone? I do mean everyone, Alice, so leave out NOTHING! Alice, I love the necklace you sent. I'm glad that you feel like I'm family. I can't stay on much longer or Ariel (my other psychic friend) will see. We're not supposed to e-mail anyone that's not family or isn't at this school. There's too much stuff that, well, we just can't spill. SO DON'T ASK! I love you to pieces, Alice. Send the others my love.

Bella ;-)

I click send and it confirms that the message has been sent. I quickly log off and stow my computer back in my closet. Then I go to bed, hoping everything will be alright.

In the morning, I wake early and check my e-mail. Alice has written back! I begin to read.

To: Bella Swan
From: Alice Cullen

BELLA! Hi. Heh, wow that was hyper. Anyway, you're welcome for the package. And don't worry about not having time to e-mail. I get it.
We're all OK, I guess. Just still sort of sad, like we've been ever since we left Forks. I know that you mean EVERYONE, so I'll tell you that
he hasn't been here for a long time, Bells. Edward is somewhere in Africa, I think. It's hard to see him because he isn't making any decisions. We're in New York (Ithica, to be exact). Esme's working on refurbishing our house, Carlisle is at the hospital (of course!), Rose and Emmett are in Columbia on vacation, and me and Jazz are at home. We've been spending some time up with the Denali family before now.
I'm glad you're glad that I feel like you're family. Wow... Twisted thought. We all feel like you're one of the Cullen clan. Be careful about that other clairvoyant. I have a bad feeling about that Ariel girl. We love you forever, Bells.

Alice ^-^

PS: TELL ME WHAT'S GOING ON! Come on that's not fair. Now you have me curious!
PPS: I attached a thing with all our e-mail addresses so you can e-mail all of us. And yes, the others know. :)

I laugh at the e-mail, and frown at the fact they're not happy without me. I make a mental note to see if I can take a summer off and go see them. I quickly write back.

To: Alice Cullen; Rosalie Hale; Esme Cullen .com
From: Bella Swan

Hey guys! Listen (read?), I decided to e-mail you three first, before I mail the boys. Thank goodness Alice sent me these addresses! I was going nuts. I'm practically on lock-down because these girls that are supposedly my friends (now I think they're just assigned to spy on me, not sure) won't let me out of their sights. Anyway, I can write in the morning if I get up early enough and at night if Ariel and Nyx (the two "friends") don't crash at my place. I'm talking about myself too much. How are you guys? I love all of you, and e-mail back, OK?

Bella ;-)

PS: NO, ALICE I WILL NOT!
PPS: Thanks, Ali!

I send it and then get up to get ready. I take a bubble bath in my huge tub and then get dressed in my favorite khaki pants, a white button down, a pair of beige pumps, and a beige short-sleeve cardigan. I apply my make-up and go au naturale with perfume. Then I put on my choker and slip my chain necklace underneath, grab my bag (of course my cell phone is in it just in case), and go out the door. Nyx is waiting outside with coffee. I smile slightly and take it. As we walk to Literature, I sip my coffee. It isn't until I feel a sudden wave of lethargy that I realize something's in the coffee. I breathe, "What... have... you... done?"

Then I collapse, and everything goes black.


Ok, I hope you liked that! I'm so sorry I couldn't put the e-mail addresses up! Just PM me if you want to know, and I'll gladly tell you. The outfit is, as always, on my profile. Pleeeeeeeeeeease review! Also, I have a question for y'all (I know the answer, so it's not just a question!). Correct answer gets a shout-out.

How do you make an emoticon penguin?
