A/N: I couldn't have this up earlier because Monday-Friday I had to stay after school till 7 and didn't get home until 8 and by then I was really tired. I hope this makes up for the wait. EVERYONE WHO READS PLEASE REVIEW!

It was 7:30 when I arrived at Bella's house. I had decided to just run because Bella had my car and I didn't feel like going through the trouble of using someone else's. I haven't really ever been inside of her house before. It was a 2 floor that wasn't anywhere near as big as our house but definitely not average either. I just usually dropped her off in her driveway and was eager to see it.

I got out of my car and traipsed up the driveway and lifted my hand to ring the doorbell but it was abruptly swung open before I had the chance. Bella had opened the door and was now looking adorably flustered. "Come on in,Alice. I was just about to eat a snack." She used her arm to keep the door open and she was so tall that I just went right under her.

Her house wasn't anything like I was expecting it would be. I pictured hand-me-down furniture,books everywhere, and all sorts of knick knacks just to make it cozier. But instead it was, the only way I could describe it was dark and just...sexy. The walls were painted a deep rich scarlet that held the uncanny resemblance to blood, and there was a big black 30 inch Sony flat screen set directly underneath the wall that the stairs were over. The couch and recliner were made from 100 percent silk and was concrete grey. The way Bella had organized the tables and couches together created a huge L with a dot in the center. The dot was a huge red and grey chandelier that made me think back to the first showings of Phantom of The Opera. There was dozens of pictures splattered around on the walls but there was one particular that caught my attention.

It was a regular-sized photo;not overblown or anything of the sorts and put in a man-made frame. The frame was made from oak wood and looked brownish-red with simple objects-mostly flowers carved in. On the left side there was a Gloxinia, Apricot blossom,and a Tulip. Using my 100 plus years of knowledge I knew those flowers meant:Love at First Sight,Timid Love, and The perfect lover. On the right side there was a Gardenia-I love you in secret, Ambrosia- Reciprocated love, and a Daisy- Innocence and faithfulness. At the bottom there was a Rose and a Clover- Closing the deal and Fertility respectfully. The flowers were made with so much detail and care that I knew that whoever did this did it for a loved one. The picture itself was old and worn out with billions of creases, as if it had been folded and unfolded time and time again with wet salty spots covering it. In the picture there was Bella, who looked about 19 at the time with her arm around another girls shoulder. You could tell that Bella had taken the picture with her other arm stretched out and there heads squishing together to fit in frame. The girl in question had long dark brown hair that looked like it might have been sandy red in the sunlight and skin that was absolutely pimple free the color of milk chocolate. She wasn't fat but definitely not skinny either. More like a very healthy chubby. The girls beauty wasn't of the traditional today type but made me think of the Venus de Milo and Michelangelo's cherubs. It was only the way they looked at each other that you could tell that they were lovers.

Bella looked at the girl like someone had gathered all of the worlds finest jewels and literature and stuffed it together in this one person. She looked at her so reverently that I could barely stand;to Bella this average chubby black chick was a fucking goddess, she was Aphrodite reincarnated into a human body. She looked at her like she loved her.

"Alice," I heard Bella soft voice behind me." Are you okay? You've been staring at that picture for a couple of minutes now. I already had time to eat and everything."

"Sorry, I was just a little bit distracted." I trailed off at the end and turned around to see her staring wistfully at the picture. She seemed to snap out of it when I walked and sat down on the end intending to leave Bella some space,but she gracefully stalked over and sat next to me so close that our legs would graze each other if we moved. " Bella did you suddenly forget what personal space mean?" I asked her with a little smirk on my face.

Bella just shrugged indifferently" I don't think that term ever applied to us. Not even in Forks. But on to more important shit...you want to know why I have a dick,right?" I nodded." It all started when I first phased...

XOXOXOXOXOXO

Bella, Age 12

Phoenix, Arizona

"Bella! You know we're going to find you so quit running!" I heard Stacey Morgan scream from behind me. Did she really think I was that stupid?

"Yeah Bella, your braces reflect off any light so you can't hide." I heard one of her goons with her shout at me. Bitch.

I quickly skidded around one of the corners of Phoenix Middle School. Stacey had been terrorizing me ever since I dropped that spaghetti onto her shirt. I mean totally not my fault that her asshole boyfriend decided to trip me in front of her. I kept running until I found some stairs with a space up under it. Unfortunately for me, my shoes happened to be untied and I fell and skidded into the wall underneath it instead of sliding looking really badass. I felt my head slam into the brick so hard that I swear a tooth fell out. I able to hold in my whine of pain because I could see Stacey's long blonde hair swishing around from her abrupt stop. Soon the rest of her gang was there and I flattened myself into the corner to where they hopefully couldn't see me.

"Where did the little slut go?" I heard Stacey's best friend Jennifer asked the rest of the Populars.

" I don't know but when we find her I'm going to teach her a lesson or two." After that they talked for a little bit more and then quickly run off. I hesitantly peeked my head out from the corner to make sure it was clear. It was so I jumped up and ran like a bat out of hell to the bathroom. I heard someone coming into it so I quickly got into a stall and stood on a toilet. It took everything in me not to gag from how disgusting it was. I mean seriously, do people miss the toilet on purpose or something?

"We got you now Bella. It's only a matter of time." Stacey said from outside. The rest of her clique was right with her and I could see their shadows checking stalls. I tried to hold in my breath because the smell was getting to me and it all got worse when the stall was slammed open. The look in her eyes were one of a enraged bull that had gotten tired of being tricked by the tamer and I lost my footing because she quite honestly scared the crap out of me, then I was going for a face dive in a puddle of piss and god knows what else.

"Eww!" I screamed out and they just laughed at me. That just pissed me off even more. I mean how would they like it if they had someone's urine on them. They just kept laughing and laughing and I was so pissed. I jumped up and tried to take a swing at Stacey but I slipped and was once again on the ground.

"Check it guys! Looks like Pissy Izzy is going back for a second serving." Stacey laughed at me while pointing her finger at me, this just made the rest laugh even more and me even madder. While they was laughing I had managed to get up and I couldn't think. My mind was all fuzzy and my eye sight was red so I just charged Stacey and I heard her back hit the metal sink and her yelp of pain. All eyes were on me and everyone was silent. "You...you bitch! How dare you? How fucking dare you!" I heard Stacey stutter from her perch at the sink and then there was chaos.

Irma Jackson, the biggest chick in the seventh grade and could easily dwarf me time 10 had stalked up to me, literally stalked like a mama bear protecting its cubs picked me up in an iron-tight grip and waited for Stacey's orders.

Stacey walked over to me and gave me a evil grin,"Give her a swirly. That should wash her clean and hopefully make her smell better." She said sarcastically. Oh,no. I started squirming around trying to get free but it didn't work. I soon felt my head going into that disgusting water. I started panicking. I didn't know how to swim and I felt like I was drowning so I wailed my arms around trying to find any purchase on Irma but it just made more water go into my mouth. I just stopped trying to get free once they flushed the toilet. It wouldn't help and I need to keep all my air to myself. They finally stopped and I fell on the ground gasping for breath. Stacey walked up to me and bent over for we could be on eye level."That's what you get for thinking you could mess with me. See you later." With that she turned around and delicately walked out with the rest of her clique with her.

1 hour later and I had just made it home. I ended up having to walk because I had missed the bus and didn't have a phone to call mom. She really needs to get me one,don't she know how many crazy people are out there. I was so fucking mad. My eyesight was red and I could barely see where the hell I was walking and I just needed to run. It was like if I didn't let my anger out I would just explode.

"Bella,where have you been? I've been worried sick about you." My mom Renee, said coming from the living room.

"Nowhere mom." I muttered trying to rush past her to get to the kitchen. I felt like I was coming down with the world's worst fever in history and a gigantic cup of water would calm me down for sure.

"I know your lying Bella, just tell me where you was at and what happened to your clothes?" She said the last part a little disgusted. That made me even madder. How on earth could she be disgusted with me when she should be disgusted with herself. She's the one who's fucking guys half her age.

"If you really want to know mom," I drawled the last part out." I was previously being conditioned with piss and rinsed with toilet water." My shaking was getting more distinguished, voice was getting louder, and my anger was growing with each passing second.

Mom looked appalled that I would ever talk to anyone that way. Especially her." Bella why are you acting like this? I know you. You wouldn't talk to anyone this way."

That was it. "You know me. You think you know me." I let out a low incredulously laugh." How the fuck do you think you know me when you're not even here. Your to busy off doing your stupid whimsical plots instead of being a real fucking parent so I know for a fact that you don't know me."My voice had gotten deeper and gruffer with each word and that just reflected my anger. I was so mad and I looked at my mom and I could see that she was actually scared of me. Something inside of me just snapped.

I fell to the floor writhing in pain. I looked down at my arms and I could see the bones straining against skin and I could feel my muscles shortening and lengthening in different areas. "Mom!" I tried to call out but I couldn't move my mouth from the teeth and my tongue was being inflated and deflated over and over. "Oh god. Not you too!" I heard my mom cry out.

The pain was getting worse and moms screams were ringing in my ears that I let out a growl of frustration. Wait a second,growl? I looked down at myself and then into a mirror that was hanging up. It wasn't me in there but instead a pit-bull sized cat that resembled a tiger.

"Bella?" I heard my mom tentatively call out from where she was standing by the couch." I want you to think about something that makes you extremely happy and you should turn back. You're probably not going to get it the first few times so I'm just going to start explaining now."

"Bella,you're a weretiger. The gene has been traced back in our family to at least the days of Rome. It's more prominent in women but it skipped me. There is a lot of stuff that you need to know and I can help you with most of the more book stuff like what other supernaturals are out there and how to spot them,but for the more hands-on physical stuff you're going to need you Uncle Pat's help. But first I need you to phase back." Mom concluded.

What the hell is she talking about? Does that mean that the overweight tiger-cat is me. I needed to go back to my body. Maybe when I did I would just wake up and this whole escapade was just a dream.

What makes me happy? For some odd reason my mind started thinking of Milla Jovovich in her leather outfit from Resident Evil.

I was abruptly back to human in less than a second. Mom gave me an appraising look but stopped frozen staring at my you-know-what. I quickly tried to cover myself with my hands but they bumped into something. I looked down and there was something between my legs that was standing straight up. What the hell? Why the fuck do I have a dick? My eyesight started blurring around the edges an I blacked out.

"Bella,honey? Wake up sweetie." I heard my mom say softly.

"Mom" I croaked and sat up shakily. I dazedly looked around. Mom had moved me from downstairs and into my room. She must've also put some clothes on me because I was in some boxers and a undershirt. "Is having a dick something that comes along with being a tiger?" I asked her and my voice was scratched.

Mom had moved from leaning over me to sitting next to me on the bed." No,only certain ones of us. I first need to explain to you what a Imprint is. Different shifters have different names for Imprints and each shifter Imprint details slightly varies but for us its all about Mating. It's not about love, just about continuing the genes and we can deny it. The person is your personal match for having the best chance of a new shifter but most Tigers fall in love with their imprint."

"W-what does this have to do with this?" I asked and warily waved my hands around myself.

"Well it means that your imprint is a girl and is human. If a girl shifter imprints on another girl shifter then neither of them will grow a penis because girl shifters can't have can't have kids. You're going to meet your imprint one day but you don't have to love her. You may feel a slight pull but that's just to pull to dominate and most likely impregnate but if you're in love with someone. Someone you really and truly love then it won't mess up you're relationship. You okay with all of this? I'm sorry you had to find out like this. I wanted to tell you when you were older but fate didn't work out like that."

"Is it ever going to go away or am I stuck?" I asked her. I didn't want to be like this. Why couldn't I just like a nice boy like every other girl. Why couldn't I just be human like everyone else? Why me?

Mom's eyes softened as she looked at me." No," I looked down and closed my eyes to stop the tears. I felt mom's hand up under my chin forcing me to look up at her." I still love you just the same. Your still my Bella Bear sweetie. Now try to get some sleep." She told me.

"Okay mom. Love you too." I said and then she walked out and turned off the lights. I didn't get much sleep that night because I woke up with a little problem I didn't exactly know how to take care of,if you catch my drift.

XOXOXOXOXOX

"It's okay Bella. I'm sorry that you had to go through that." I told her honestly. I was very tempted to go hunt down that Stacey girl but I knew Bella probably wouldn't like it if I did. During her tale she had looked so sad that I couldn't help my self from climbing into her lap to give her a hug. I was still in her

lap because I hadn't bothered to move and she didn't seem to mind.

"Don't worry about it. I got my revenge on her years ago and all ready been through the hard stuff." Bella said into the top of my hair. "Turns out her and Irma had a little something-something going on and I just happened to disrupt that with my mad skills." She said with a smirk.

I rolled my eyes and sighed," Self-conceited much?"

Bella let out this strange laugh that she does from her belly that sound like char har or something like that." You know you love me. So Alice do you want to go somewhere. Like on a date with me?" She asked with her eyes burning into me.

"At this hour? On a full moon? Are you trying to get the Vamp killed on purpose?" I asked sweetly while making an insult to the wolves at the same time.

Bella put her hands on my hips and gently scooted me over. She got up and looked down at me. "Don't worry Sweetcake, you got me here to keep the big bad wolves away." She said sarcasticlly.

" I don't know Bella..." I trailed off at the end.

"Come on Alice. The night is young and there's places that I want to take you." I would've blushed if I could because that sounded ridiculously dirty coming from Bella's mouth.

"I'm in." I said and Bella just smiled.

XOXOXOXOXOX
