A/N: I FINALLY FUCKING UPDATED! OH MY GOD YES.

To all of you who still are gunna bother reading this story after all this time, I THANK YOU. I LOVE YOU. I APPRECIATE YOU.

I have no excuse for my hiatus other than...some medical stuff and a wedding and a baby and some more medical stuff. I'm deeply sorry and I'll try to update more often.

Also I have a game for you! Without using Google, I want you to tell me who sings the songs that I've used for my chapters and if you can guess why I used those songs.

ALSO ALSO A BIG SHOUTOUT TO YOURRESIDENTFREAK! She/He got me back into writing because she/he was concerned for me :) Sorry for the she/he thing but you never specified, mate.

"Grrrrrr…"

What is that sound?

"Eerrrrarrgh!"

It sounds like a dog growling but I don't have dog. Is that Alice? It couldn't be, it's the middle of the night. It must've only been like, an hour or so since I fell asleep and she knows I have school in the morning. What on earth is she doing? She's not on the bed anymore…

"Al…Alice, what're you doing?" I rasped out, sitting up on the bed and rubbing my eyes so I could see what she was up to now. I yawned slightly, restraining it so I could look at her. She was crouched down on my windowsill, her arms outstretched to clutch onto the ledge, and her black hair a mess atop her head. She turned to look at me, her golden eyes glowing in the dark, an innocent expression on her face as a few strands of her hair fell about her face. She looked stunning in the moonlight.

"There's someone out there." She said simply, her voice light and airy making the bad news seem like nothing. Literally.

"Oh, well alright then," I waved her off before laying back down. And then my thought process kicked in and I immediately sat back up again, "Wait, what!"

"There's someone out there!" She repeated, sounding more urgent. She turned her head to look out the window again and I carefully removed myself from my covers, sliding off the bed and quietly approaching her. I wrapped my arms around my torso which was covered in my night clothes, a loose fitting t-shirt and short shorts. I placed a hand between her shoulder blades, rubbing the spot when she tensed and I exhaled when she relaxed under my touch. I looked over her shoulder out into the night but saw nothing out of the ordinary.

"Who do you see, Alice?" I asked quietly, my head next to hers and I could feel her shiver at the feel of my breath near her ear. Awe, I have an effect on her. Score!

"Her." Was all she managed to get out before she flung open my window.

"Whoa, Alice, wait!" I tried to stop her and my brilliant idea to do so was to wrap my arms around her neck and try to pull her back inside. Bad idea. Alice only took this as 'Oh, Bella wants to come to!', which I'm beyond positive was her exact thought process, and she grabbed my thighs, wrapping them around her waist before she took off running at her deliriously fast vampire speed. I know for a fact I screamed bloody murder when she hopped down from my window and landed gracefully on her feet onto the ground, her impact leaving two small indents into the ground. My Dad was going to be pissed about that.

"Hold on tight, okay?" Alice looked back at me, the look in her eyes telling me that she would never let anything harm me in anyway possible. I tightened my hold on her, nodding my head slightly and Alice smiled before she took off running. I shut my eyes and buried my face in between her neck and shoulder. After a few minutes of this, I opened my eyes only to see the world blurring past us. Tree after tree, we zoomed through the woods chasing after whatever it was Alice saw. Suddenly, Alice skidded to a halt and I looked up to find a huge chunk of rock being thrown at us. I shrieked in fear just as Alice flipped to the side just in time.

"Holy shit!" I screamed out, my hold on Alice tightening immensely and I'm pretty sure that if she had to breathe, she'd be choking right now.

"Awe, you brought the human? So throwing more rocks at you for fun would be a bad idea, huh?" A female voice chided Alice and I knew that voice anywhere.

"Watch it, Rosalie!" Alice snarled out, her body vibrating beneath me as she began a low growl in her chest. The blonde stepped out from the darkness, the moonlight casting an eerie glow across her pale skin, her blonde hair looking pale in the light. The sneer on her face was definitely scary as she stood, poised and ready a few feet away from Alice and I.

"You watch your tone with me, Mary Alice!" Rosalie bit right back and Alice's growling only intensified.

"Why were you stalking us?" Alice asked, the edge in her voice reminding Rosalie that she was not messing around.

"I wasn't stalking you so much as…keeping an eye on you." Rosalie smirked at her own words, taking a few steps forward.

"Well, either way I call it creepy-" I quipped and the blonde vampire released a rather terrifying roar.

"Shut your mouth, human!"

"Don't talk to her that way!" Alice roared right back and I squeaked before hiding my head behind Alice's. It was probably best if I shut up now. However, I couldn't help but poke my head back up when Rosalie began to cackle. Like, literally, she began to cackle like a witch or some shit.

"Oh my god, so Carlisle was right! You DID mark her! You marked a human! You truly are an interesting little vampire, Mary Alice." Rosalie leered at us, looking highly amused as she placed her hands on her hips, leaning back a bit as she laughed some more at Alice's expense. Marked me? What the hell was she talking about? My confusion must have shown on my face because Rosalie began cracking up even more, pointing at me, "The human looks confused! She doesn't even know, does she! This is priceless! Oh, I cannot wait to tell Emmett! He is going to laugh for days, really, days!"

"Sh-shut up!" Alice stammered out, standing up straight and shifting her weight to one leg, lowering her head a bit. She was embarrassed, I could feel it. I don't how I could, I just…could. I got down from her back but did not release my hold on her neck, only loosened it. I pressed my front into her back, trying to calm her down the best I could.

"Shhh, Alice, its okay. Don't let her get to you. She doesn't know what she's talking about." I whispered into her ear and Alice only lowered her head further.

"Oh, I know what I'm talking about. You don't know what I'm talking about, is the thing," Rosalie started up again and I glared at her. She was hurting my Alice and I did NOT like it, "Listen up, human, do you remember the night you first met Alice?"

Yeah, of course I did. I thought back to how I chased her through the woods, held her by the pond, falling asleep in her arms, feeling her nuzzling my neck as…she…My eyes widened as I remembered the ghosting sensation of fangs against my neck and the dream I had that night before I woke up to Alice in my room.

""I brought you back home! Nothing happened, honest! I didn't even bite you! Well, I mean I nipped at you but it's no big deal really! I'm sorry, you're just so tempting!"I remembered what she'd said when I woke up. She'd nipped at me? Was that what Rosalie was getting at?

"All Alice did was nip at me? How is that a big deal or any of your concern for that matter?" I demanded to know, my courage coming from nowhere but quickly evaporating as Rosalie glared at me, taking a few more steps forward. She was awfully close now but Alice made no effort to back up.

"You're so ignorant. Alice didn't 'nip' at you, she marked you. Although I think it was a mistake, there's no way a human could be her forever. No vampire is ever that lucky." Rosalie looked between Alice and me, a dull expression on her face as she inspected her nails.

"Her forever?" I asked, not following this at all but for seem reason I felt the need to hold Alice closer to me.

"Yeah, her forever? You know, her lover, her mate?" Rosalie stated matter-of-factly as though I were stupid and my eyes widened at this new information, not quite comprehending this.

"M-mate? I'm Alice's mate? Like…like what animals do?" I stammered out, actually releasing Alice and taking a few steps back. What the hell! Alice turned her head to look at me and she looked so sad and lost, ashamed of herself.

"Yeah…animals and vampires…aren't far apart. I'm sorry, Bella. I couldn't help it, honest." Alice began to explain weakly and I threw my arms up in the air, exasperated.

"Well, apparently you can't help a lot of things, huh!" I shouted at her and instantly felt bad because she flinched as though I'd slapped her across the face but dammit now I couldn't help it. This was all too much for me right now.

"It's supposed to be you, I know it is. I can feel it and I know you can too. That pull, that need, that want. I know you feel it, Bella," Alice pleaded with me and with her words, my heart began to pound louder and as it did, Alice brought a hand up to her chest, "I can feel your heart beating because it's mine too."

"WHAT!" I clutched at the front of my shirt, pulling at it as I stared wildly at the vampires before me. What is this shit!

"You're freaking her out, Mary Alice. Allow me to explain in easy, simple human words," Rosalie suddenly chimed in, blurring before me and jabbing at my shoulder with a sharp prod from her index finger, "Do you know the old saying 'When one door closes, another opens?"

I nodded my head.

"Okay and how they say that when one dies, another is born?"

I nodded my head again, more slowly this time because I was now officially lost.

"Well, when a person dies and becomes a vampire, their body does in fact die but their soul remains in tact. Their soul is then automatically forever bound to another's, which would be considered their mate. Like I with Emmett. Usually it is another vampire. However, sometimes…" Rosalie glanced back at Alice who rubbed at the back of her neck then back at me, "…it's a human. With a human, it's different. More special."

"How…so?" I asked quietly and Rosalie rolled her eyes at me.

"You're so dumb," She leant back, rubbing at the bridge of her nose as though she had a headache, "Okay, so do you remember what I said like, two seconds ago about how two vampires are destined to be together forever, their souls entwined with one another's?"

I nodded my head because I was now apparently a bobble-head and this was all I could do.

"When a vampire is destined to be with a human, it's not just their souls. You see, it's because a human is not dead yet, they still have their heart. When a human is meant to be with a vampire, it's not just their souls that intertwine but their heart becomes the vampires, thus making their heart one," Rosalie laced her hands together, indicating the whole 'one' concept to me before she threw her arms up in the air and shook her head, her tone making her seem bored and uninterested now, "It's very romantic and whatnot. It's considered to be a beautiful anomaly in our world; it's envied by many because the bond between the two ends up being stronger than a usual vampire/vampire bond. Do you understand it now? Got it memorized?"

"I think so…?" I squeaked out, not wanting to have her talk to me like this anymore. It was downright scary. My eyes flickered back and forth as I stared at nothing, my thoughts going a mile a minute. Okay, yes I thought Alice was beyond hot and attractive, I loved her laugh and her smile and the way she acted and everything about her. I did love Alice but was I in love with her? Was I ready to spend the rest of my life with her because of some weird vampire voodoo thing? I…I had no idea. I needed more time. More time to think about this.

"See, I personally feel like this whole thing is a huge mistake on Alice's part because a human/vampire bond is stupidly rare and there's no way that YOU of all vampires gets to have it." Rosalie gestured over at Alice who lowered her head once more, kicking at the ground as though she were being scolded. I frowned at the way Rosalie was treating my Alice, the way she was making her feel because…as weird as it was, I could feel it too. I could feel how Alice was feeling and I wanted nothing more than to make her feel better.

"Knock it off, you bitch! Haven't you already said enough?" I shouted out suddenly and both vampires looked up at me as though I were insane. I froze because I am insane. Who yells at Rosalie Cullen? The blonde snarled at me and just as it looked like she was ready to attack me, she stopped, standing straight up and looking back behind her. I brought my forearms down which I'd raised up to protect me. I watched as Rosalie seemed focused on whatever it was she was looking at before she turned to look at me once more, a calm expression on her face.

"I have to go. Good luck figuring your shit out." She smirked at both Alice and I before in a blur, she was gone.

Bi-polar bitch.

"Um…Bella?" My head shot up to look at the small pixyish vampire before me, her tiny voice startling me. She ran a nervous hand through her hair, avoiding looking at me, "If…if you don't…want to be with me…like that, I understand…"

"Do I have a choice?" I couldn't help but ask and I could tell my question hurt her as she glanced up at me briefly before glancing back down at her feet.

"You do…yes. I don't wanna force you into a relationship with me like that, so yes, you'll always have a choice…I, however…" She trailed off and I couldn't help but take a step towards her.

"You however…what?" I urged her to continue and she finally looked up at me, her expression heartbreaking.

"As a human, you have the choice to not be with me. You can always find another but as a vampire; I will always forever be in love with you. I will never have another mate because I marked you; you're my forever, Bella…" Alice trailed off once more as her golden eyes bore into mine, conveying to me everything that Alice couldn't find the strength to say aloud. She really did love me with all of her…well, our heart. I took the few necessary steps towards her, grabbing both of her hands with my own and urging her to look up at me.

"Alice, all of this…vampire stuff is crazy," I began and we both chuckled at my words, "I'm struggling to wrap my mind around it but at the same time, it feels right. And for once, I think I'm gunna let my heart win out over my head because Alice, I don't know what it is about you, whether it's the vampire-forever shit or it's just you and I but I do love you, I love you more than I think I've loved anyone or anything. But it's all happened so fast that I just want time. I want time to figure this out. To figure us out is that okay with you?"

"Yes! Yes, of course it is!" Alice bounced up and down excitedly and I couldn't help but smile at how cute she was, how happy she looked, "So does that mean…?"

"Yeah, it means that for now…I'd like to stay with you, if that's okay-" I barely managed to get out before Alice leant up and captured my lips in a warm, gentle kiss, pressing all of her into me. She brought her hands up to cup my face, pulling away for a second to look at me, giggling like mad before she kissed me again and again.

"If that's okay! If that's okay! Of course it's okay! It's beyond okay! Everything's okay because I have you now, Bella!" Alice called out happily and I winced at how loud she was but laughing all the while because she was ridiculously happy. I squealed when she wrapped her arms around my waist, lifting me up and started spinning around with me in her arms.

"Oh my god, Alice! You're being ridiculous! And making me dizzy!" I shouted out, holding onto her tight as she spun me around like I weighed nothing.

"I can't help it! I'm just so happy!" Alice shouted, falling back onto the ground, still holding me so that I fell on top of her, using her body as a cushion for the impact which wasn't very cushion-y at all seeing as her skin is made of cement or something like that. I giggled as she began to purr wildly beneath me, rolling over so that I was now on the bottom so she could nuzzle her head underneath my chin.

"Okay, okay, okay! What're we? Nala and Simba? Pinning each other down in some childish display of our affection?" I asked her sarcastically and I repressed my laughter when she quickly brought her head up to look down at me, her little hands in fists on my chest as she kneaded at my shirt.

"Nooooo but do you wanna be?" She asked me, too fast for me to understand almost as she grinned madly at me, a mischievous glint in her eyes. I made a face at her.

"What! No! I'm not a lion-"

"HA! Pinned ya!" Alice called out as she sat up to straddle my waist, her hands taking mine and holding them above my head using my wrists. She beamed down at me and I rolled my eyes at her.

"Have you even seen the Lion King?" I dead panned and she paused for a moment.

"I see all, silly human!" She grinned at me once more and I made another face at her.

"That's not an answer!"

"Bella! You're taking the fun out of everything! Stop being such a fun sucker!" Alice leant down and rubbed her nose against mine, stopping to rest her forehead against mine and stare into my eyes. I smiled warmly at her, getting lost in those glowing amber eyes before what she'd said began to bother me.

"Okay so when did you see Freaky Friday?"

"Oh my god, Bella. Shut up." Was all she said before she silenced me with her lips. I released a soft moan as she kissed me softly, nipping at my lower lip causing me to open my mouth, moaning even more as her cool tongue swirled against my own. Oh god, she was an amazing kisser. I arched my back, feeling my front press against her own and I smirked into the kiss when I heard her groan at the sensation. Finally, I had to pull away, needing oxygen. As I caught my breath, Alice resumed her position of resting her forehead against my own.

"So….since we're together now…you're gunna kiss me like that….all the time now right?" I asked in between pants and Alice laughed softly, kissing the tip of my nose.

"I'll always kiss you like that. You're my foreverything!"

Oh….my god. If that wasn't the cutest thing I've ever heard in my entire life. I couldn't help it, tears began to well up in my eyes and before I knew it, I was crying. Alice's eyes widened in concern and that only made me cry more. She loved me so much! Oh god, it was terrifying but at the same time, it was the most incredible feeling ever! Alice brought a hand up to my cheek, carefully brushing the tears away with her thumb as she purred quietly to calm me down.

"Hush, baby, I'm sorry. I didn't mean to make you cry!" Alice apologized and I immediately shook my head no.

"Alice, I'm not….sad….I'm just…I'm so happy that I'm crying!" I gasped out, wrapping my arms around her neck seeing as they were free now and holding her as close to me as physically possible.

"Oh! That's….an odd way of showing it?" She murmured into my neck but that didn't stop her from kissing and nipping at my pulse point.

"Says the girl who purrs when she's happy." I teased her and I felt her scoff at my words. For a while that's all we did, just lie there on the grass, in the dark, the moon being our only source of light minus a few fireflies as we held each other. I don't know for how long before I felt my eyelids grow heavy with exhaustion. Alice must've felt my breathing slow down as she shifted me a little.

"Is my human sleepy?" She asked me softly and I smiled dreamily at hers, nodding my head and making some weird stupid sound which caused her to laugh, "Okay, well that's enough coherent thought for Bella today, huh?"

"Shuddup, you brat." I murmured into her shoulder as she gathered me in her arms, standing up and carrying me bridal style. I was vaguely aware of the fact that she was running back to my house. I clutched at her shirt as she climbed up to my window, careful not to disturb me.

"Get some sleep, love." Alice whispered somewhere in between placing me on the bed and tucking me in and walking back over and shutting my window. I frowned, holding my arms up in the air and making grabbing motions with my hands.

"Alice…! Sleep with me!" I commanded, already half-asleep. Do you think if I were awake, I would have said that to Alice! If I were fully awake I would have probably noticed the way her eyes widened, the way her body stiffened at my words before she regained her composure, smiling at me before gracefully making her way over to my bed.

"As you wish." She smirked at her words, carefully climbing into bed with me and snuggling against me, my arms wrapped around her waist as she hugged my side, her one leg over mine as she nuzzled her head beneath my chin, her favorite thing to do.

"I…do love you…Alice…." I whispered, my subconscious urging me to say something because I knew she was still unsure, still worried about everything and how fast it was going. I felt her exhale an unnecessary breath as I began to drift off to sleep.

"I love you, Bella. I really do."

"BELLA!"

"Oh my god, what the fuck!" I groaned angrily, rolling over violently in my bed as Charlie's voice boomed up the stairs. I squeezed my eyes shut, hoping he would go away until I realized Alice was no longer in my bed. I instantly opened my eyes, sitting up in bed and looking frantically for my vampire.

"Shhh!" Alice placed her forefinger to her lips as she stepped out from my closet suddenly, giving me a heart attack. I mouthed to her 'What the fuck?' before she pointed towards the door, receding back into the closet and hiding herself just in time for my dad to burst through completely unannounced! Well, to me at least.

"Bella! Did you see what the hell happened to my back yard?" He demanded to know of me and I simply raised my brows at him.

"Uhhh…no?"

"Come take a look with me!" He gestured for me to follow him and I glanced at the closet, shrugging my shoulders before hopping off the bed and following him down the stairs, out the front door and into the backyard.

Oh, shit, haha.

"Do you see that?" He pointed down at the two almost foot shaped indents that had been formed into the ground, dirt and grass kicked up from the impact. Wow, Alice is pretty heavy I guess. Or strong, whichever.

"Oh, I see it alright." I said, sounding unimpressed. Charlie made a scoffing noise, apparently flabbergasted.

"What the hell is that, Bella!" He asked me as if I caused it and I put my hands up in the air in a placating gesture.

"Hey, I didn't do it!"

"Well, then who did?" He looked at me expectantly and I gave him a quizzical expression.

"How the hell should I know? Maybe it's a….sink hole?" I offered up weakly and he looked back at me with an expressionless face.

"A….sink hole?"

"Yes."

"Two small...almost foot sized….sink holes?"

"Don't patronize me."

"I'm not! I just think you're not telling me the truth!"

"Well, I'm not lying!"

"…That's it!" Charlie threw his hands up into the air, "You're grounded!"

"Why is that you're answer for everything!" I shouted, frustrated now that I'd been woken up for this nonsense. I could have stayed in bed, cuddling with Alice!

"It is not! Now its 5:45 in the morning, I gotta go to work soon and you have to get to school so hop to it!" He patted me on the back strongly, causing me to stumble forward as he made his way back into the house.

"ITS 5 A.M!" I shrieked, just now noticing that the sun hadn't even come up yet but not that it does around here anyway but you know what I'm saying.

"Yeah, it is Bella. Be quiet, you'll wake the neighbors!" Charlie called out from within the house and I felt like pulling my hair out. He woke me up this early for basically nothing! I could have gotten in another two hours of sleep, almost! Bastard! Ugh, and now I remembered what today was. It was school and last night before all that weird vampire stuff happened, Alice had said she was going to go to school with me. That's not even possible anyway without her being properly registered…anywhere so I don't know what she's thinking. God, damn. I must have only gotten like…an hour or so of sleep.

"I hate…life." I mumbled to myself as I meandered back inside the house, up the stairs and back into my room, collapsing face first onto my bed. I groaned into the mattress causing an odd muffled sound as I heard Alice creep out from within the closet and I could feel her standing behind me, watching me.

"You're dad is funny." She commented and I buried my head further into my mattress, groaning loudly before lifting my head up to talk to her.

"No, he isn't. Nothing is funny at 5 in the morning."

"Actually, it's almost 6 in the morning." Alice corrected me innocently, plopping down onto the bed beside me and running a hand through my disheveled hair as a I laid my head back down on the mattress, turning it sideways so I could talk to her.

"Alice….what're we gunna do about the Cullen's? You and I both know you can't come to school with me today…" I struggled to speak fluidly as Alice gently combed my hair with her fingers, making me feel drowsy once again.

"Hmmm….we'll just have to figure something out now won't we?"

"What do you have in mind?"

A/N: Okay, so it's short but it's a start. THIS is where things start to take off. THIS is where the plot gets going. Hopefully the whole heart/soul/vampire/human thing wasn't too complicated for you. Basically think Kingdom Hearts with the whole Heartless and Nobodies deal and then combine it with Vampire Mating and...yeah, there ya go. Any questions? Ask me in a review and if you're not anonymous, I can totally answer you. Also play that game, if someone wins without using GOOGLE I will update faster. PROMISE. Once again, sorry for making you wait.
