I don't own Twilight!

Chapter Six: Alice and Jasper

I looked up from my spot on the floor, and saw Alice Cullen staring at me like I was a ghost. I felt a smile appear on my face, and seconds later Alice had an identical smile on her face.

"Bella, what are you doing here?" Alice asked, and I noticed that she didn't sound unhappy about the fact that I was here.

"I am looking for your bone-headed brother." I said with a smirk.

"Which one?" she asked coyly. "Because honestly, if you ask me, they are both bone-heads." Alice replied, and we both started laughing.

"I am looking for Edward, of course." I answered, once I finally had my laughter under control.

"Good for you, Bella." Alice said. "He was an idiot for making us leave in the first place."

"So, I'm right then? He really does still love me, but he's trying to protect me?" I asked.

"Yes, he still loves you Bella. He is just trying to do what he thinks is right." Alice said with a roll of her eyes.

"Well, that's just stupid." I said, causing us to break out in laughter once again. Once our laughter died down, though, something occurred to me. Alice had been surprised when she saw me, but with her power, she should have already known I was here.

"Alice, how come you didn't know I was here until I walked in the door?" I asked.

"Edward made me promise not to look into you future." Alice said, and I could tell she was not happy about his demand.

"Why would he do that?" I asked. "What if I got into some kind of trouble that only you guys could have helped me with, but you didn't see, because you weren't looking?"

"What kind of trouble could you possibly get into that only we would be able to help you with?" Alice asked suspiciously.

"I don't know Alice, but it's me we are talking about here. We both know that I would get into some kind of trouble, eventually." I said, hoping she didn't see my fear as I thought about Victoria and Laurent.

"That's true, but for some reason I think you are already in trouble." Alice replied, and I cursed myself for not being able to hide me emotions.

"It's nothing, Alice." I said. "I just miss Edward, that's all."

"That's bull, and we both know it, Bella. So spill." Alice ordered.

"You don't think I miss Edward?" I asked, hoping to distract her.

"I know you miss Edward, but I think there is something else you are not telling me." she said, while giving me a look that said 'if you don't tell me, then it's Barbie Bella time.'

I don't know why I didn't want to tell Alice about Laurent and Victoria. I guess I was hoping she could tell me where Edward was, and then I would be able to leave before anyone got hurt.

I was about to open my mouth to answer her, when Jasper came down the stairs looking just as shocked as Alice had to see me.

"Hi, Jasper." I said quietly. This was the first time we had seen each other since my disastrous birthday party.

"Bella, what are you doing here?" Jasper asked, still looking surprised.

"She is looking for Edward, because she was smart enough to see through his crap and realize that he still loves her." Alice said before I time to answer.

"Thanks, Alice." I said, sarcastically.

"No problem." she replied sweetly, causing me to roll my eyes.

"I am glad you are trying to find him, Bella. We all told him he was being a fool." Jasper said with a smile.

"Thanks, Jasper." I said while smiling back at him.

"Bella, I am really sorry. I feel like all of this is my fault. If I hadn't lost control at your birthday party, Edward wouldn't have left." Jasper said, and I could feel the guilt he was sending out.

"First, stop with the guilt." I said, and felt calmness wash over me a second later "Thank you. And second, we both know that eventually something would have happened to make Edward overreact like this."

"As true as that may be, I still feel horrible that I was the reason he made us leave you." Jasper said, and I could feel the guilt building again.

"Jasper, I never blamed you. I was never even mad at you for what happened." I explained. "I knew there were risks that went along with hanging out with vampires, so I really wasn't surprised when that happened."

"Thanks, Bella." Jasper said, but I could still feel the guilt.

"Jasper, will you do me a favor?" I asked.

"Sure." He replied.

"Stop blaming yourself for what happened? Because I honestly don't blame you." I pleaded.

"Okay, fine." he agreed, and suddenly the guilt was gone, which made me feel better.

Jasper walked towards me and cautiously wrapped his arms around me in a brotherly hug, and I of course hugged him back. When we broke apart Alice came over and squeezed me in a tight hug.

"We really did miss our little sister." She said, emotionally.

"I missed you guys, too." I said, before Alice wrapped her arms around Jasper and me in a group hug.

"So Bella, how did you track us here, anyway?" Jasper asked when Alice finally released us.

"I went to your house in Forks, and found a photo album in Edwards drawer." I explained. "He had written 'Denali clan' on the back of the pictures, and I remembered him talking about coming here after my first day at school."

Alice had this all-knowing look on her face when I explained about the album, but I chose to ignore it and move on.

"I caught the next flight to Alaska, but when I got here I realized I had no idea where the coven lived. By sheer dumb luck I ran into Tanya, and she brought me here." I continued. "Once I was here, they told me that the two of you would be here in a few days, and that I was welcome to stay until you arrived."

"Wow, I am impressed." Alice said.

"Me, too." Jasper added.

After a few moments of silence, I decided to ask the question I had been dying to ask since I heard Alice say my name when I walked in the door.

"So, do you guys know where Edward is?"
