In this story Paul and Jacob aren't the asses they are in the books and movies. So for those of you who are upset that they are still here, well there's nothing I can do. I'm not just going to get rid of them. I have them in the story for a reason.

And don't worry about me going into detail with the Seth/Edward relationship. I wouldn't even know the first place to begin.

This chapter wasn't edited at all. All mistakes are my own and there will probably be plenty of them.

It seems I don't own Twilight. Darn.

Summary- Bella and Alice spend a little time together. (Short chapter.)

*~*~*Chapter 7*~*~*

~~Adjusting~~

The shuffling movement behind Esme reminded me that Jasper was still standing there. I automatically growled with hatred and the rest of my pack soon followed.

"What's going on?" Carlisle asked, turning to Edward in confusion.

"They don't seem to be happy at Jasper's presence." He said in a slightly amused tone.

"His head is still attached. Of course we aren't happy." Leah muttered causing Edward to smirk.

"It seems they don't like him as much with his head attached." With that comment Jasper stepped forward and growled at us. The whole pack immediately got ready to attack.

"No! Would you all stop this!" Esme cried as she put herself between us and the emotion controlling parasite.

"You know, as much as I love Esme she is starting to rub me the wrong way." I muttered as she continued to stand guard of the horrible excuse for an immortal.

"Rub you the wrong way? I don't think her husband would like that very much." Paul deadpanned and the whole pack whipped their heads around to look at him, not believing what he just said.

"That's what I told her last night." I muttered remembering the conversation in my room. I instantly regretted saying that as the pack hooted with laughter. Edward was also laughing so my shield must still be down. To make things worse he turned to Esme and winked at her.

"Why Esme, I didn't know you had that kind of side to you." Some of the pack were literally rolling around on the ground as they laughed.

"I don't get it." Esme said, brows scrunched in confusion.

"And she never will." Paul choked out as he continued to laugh. Alice's hand suddenly began to stroke the fur on the side of my face and I leaned into her touch.

"I never realized there was such a playful side to you Bella." She said as she raised her eyebrow. I cocked my head to the side wondering what she meant.

"She had a vision of me telling her what you guys were talking about." If I was in human form I would have blushed.

"Wait, can you understand me?" He nodded a bit and folded his arms.

"I can, and I must admit it's about damn time. Not knowing what you were thinking was extremely frustrating." He chuckled lightly and scratched behind my ear. I still was extremely upset with him because of what he did but it was hard to stay angry. He had after all introduced me to his family. He was the one who made me realize that vampires did in fact exist. Besides, being Seth's imprint was going to be extremely hard for him anyways. He was going to have to get over his old prejudice that men and woman shouldn't have same sex relations. A soft growling caught my attention and I looked over to see Alice glaring daggers at Edwards hand. He slowly stopped scratching behind my ear and took a few steps away.

"I wonder if she is imagining different ways to kill him." Jacob said, laughing at the pissed off little pixie.

"She is." Edward said simply as he involuntary gulped. I nudged her with my head and whined a little and Edward was immediately forgotten. I gave her a sloppy wolf kiss and she shrieked and tried to wipe the slobber off. That's when I heard another growling. I looked over and saw Jasper growling at me. The rest of the pack once again got ready for a fight. I stepped in front of them, realizing now that I was taller then all of them. It must have been because I was Alpha.

"Don't bother with him. When the time is right I will take him out. It was my imprint that he hurt and he will pay for that." None of them seemed too pleased with leaving him but they could tell I was serious. I was going to kill him when the time came and no one would put Humpty back together again this time. I looked at him and growled a warning before looking at Esme and doing the same thing. She seemed surprised at my action. I wasn't really growling at her because I was angry. It was more that I just wanted her to realize that when the time came she had better not get in my way. I wouldn't hurt her on purpose but if I had to knock her down to get to my target then I would.

"Bella?" Edward asked confused. "Where did that come from? You love Esme." Her eyes shot wide open, probably now thinking she was my target.

"Edward you moron, I don't want to hurt her. Now she thinks I do. I was just stating that if she got in my way I would knock her down, Not rip her head off." I snapped at him. He looked over towards Esme and smiled apologetically.

"Sorry, I misunderstood what she was thinking. She doesn't want to hurt you." I could see clear relief on her face as I casually walked over towards Edward and rammed into his stomach, sending him sprawling to the ground. Seth got ready to defend his imprint.

"Seth, knock it off. I didn't do it to hurt him and you know it." He whimpered and looked down at his fallen mate. "Now that Sam, Jared, Embry and Quil are gone I think it's time for the rest of you to scram as well." I thought as I indicated that I wanted alone time with Alice.

"Alright, I think it's about time for us to get out of this field." Edward said as he quickly got up off the ground. The vampires looked surprised but started in the direction of their home. Edward stopped and looked back at the wolves. "Well come on." He muttered before taking off at vampire speed. The pack thought of this as a challenge and took off, trying to catch up to him. I motioned for Alice to follow me back to my house for the second time. She chuckled a bit and followed.

"Thank you for saving the shirt." She said softly and I couldn't help but roll my eyes. I mean who thanks someone for saving a shirt. I just nodded because at the moment I was unable to speak with her. When we got back to my house she went back inside to get another pair of shorts because I shredded the last ones I had on. When she came out with another black pair of shorts I quickly phased and changed into them.

"I should be the one thanking you. You did save my life after all." I whispered softly to her and she flung her arms around me.

"You really are a danger magnet, aren't you." I wrapped my arms around her and nodded.

"It would seem like it." I yawned loudly in her ear and felt her body vibrate as she chuckled.

"I guess it's time to get some sleep." She said as she pulled out of the hug and grabbed my hand, leading me towards the house. I didn't bother changing again as I flopped onto my bed. Alice covered me up and sat next to me.

"Are you going to stay?" I asked in a hopeful tone.

"Only if you want me to stay." She replied.

"Will you be okay with Charlie around? He isn't home yet and it's possible that he may not be home until tomorrow. If he does come back though will you be okay?" She almost seemed to pale even more.

"I should be. When Jasper isn't around I am much better at controlling my thirst." I growled at her reply.

"He was making you hunt humans. You realize that right?" Sighing she bowed her head in shame like it was her who did something wrong.

"He may have influenced me, sure but I should have been able to stay strong." I sat up and cupped her cheek with my hand.

"He was able to stop two vampires and two very pissed off shifters with his ability. No one could have resisted it. Not even someone as strong and loving as you." I could see the sadness in her red eyes.

"You were." She said softly. I startled her by chuckling.

"I'm not exactly normal though am I? I mean when I was still just a human Edward was unable to read my mind. Even now sometimes he has trouble with it. So it's only natural that it be the same with you know who." This time she started to chuckle.

"You know who? Really Bella?" She smiled at me as I lay back down.

"Alice, anyone who hurt you doesn't have the right to be called anything other then that. He shouldn't even be allowed to live." Just thinking about what happened was making me angry all over again.

"You really do seem protective of me." She said and I grinned proudly.

"I am, and I always will be. You know it's strange though. I used to be with you so often and I never noticed the feelings I really had for you. I was so hung up on Edward that it clouded my view of the one I really wanted to be with." She went to respond but quickly snapped her mouth shut, not knowing what to say. "I wasn't kidding when I said that I imprinted on you and that we are soul mates."

"I think I may have had these kinds of feelings for you on and off when we lived here the first time. I think every time I had them you know who would just get rid of them for me." This time she was the one to look angry. I couldn't help but wonder if Jasper ever controlled my emotions when it came to Alice. All I knew was at least now his mood control doesn't work on me anymore.

"Well we're together now. And he wont be able to split us apart." She took my hand in her's and kissed the back of it.

"It may take a while for me to adjust, but I do believe you. I can feel the imprint too. And believe me, I do trust you." She sighed and ran her fingers through her hair. "Why do I have a feeling this is going to end in violence." I raised an eyebrow at her but didn't reply. "That's what I thought." She took a deep breath and looked into my eyes. "Well then count me in."

I know it's short but I have thing I have to take care of. Next chapter will have a lot of Alice/Bella Fluff.

It will also be longer.

Like I said at the beginning of the chapter, Any mistakes that were made were my own.
