Chapter Three – Your Vibes Are Special

The new family of seven wasn't just any regular family. With their 'species' they were considered a coven. Carlisle had already made a name for himself in Forks years ago and decided that moving back was the best option for his family. He could set them up for at least another five years before moving on.

The Cullen's were anything but normal. Anyone who looked at them could see how different they looked and how they stood out with the others. Pale skin, golden eyes, flawless in everything they did. More than friendly yet in Rosalie's case, the perfect bitch.

However, the humans that filled up Forks High were unaware they were walking amongst five of seven very respected vampires. Vampires that hid in society and kept up an appearance while feeding on animal blood to keep their immortal lives intact.

Alice met up with her family in the student parking lot after her first day. They were all hovered around Emmett's Jeep and Edward's Volvo. She didn't even say a word to them before smacking her brother flat across the head.

Edward hissed and scowled, staring at the petite girl in front of him. "What was that for?"

"You made that poor girl think something was wrong with her!" Alice hissed right back and poked Edward in the chest. "Why'd you take off like that?"

"Can I just say I'm glad we're not the only newbies?" Emmett's voice boomed through the circle of his family. "I hate the attention."

"You love it." Rosalie rolled her eyes while placing a delicate hand on his broad chest.

"The new girl gives me vibes." Jasper, the curly blonde sighed a bit.

Edward pushed past Alice and nodded, standing beside the blonde. "There's definitely something up with her."

"Like what?" Alice laughed a little. "She's from Arizona, big deal."

"Al, I couldn't read her mind." Edward said in a frustrated tone, leering at his sister. "I could get nothing out of her. Do you realize how frustrating that it? Plus the smell of her was so intoxicating..." He inhaled and closed his eyes.

Alice wasn't too fond of the way her brother smiled when he inhaled. "You're not eating her." She slapped him again before leaning against the Volvo.

"Alice, don't be absurd. I wasn't planning on hurting her. I just want to know why she's so..." his voice trailed off when he caught a whiff of the girl he ran out on earlier. His eyes zeroed in on Bella making her way towards a red truck.

"Different?" Alice was already looking towards her direction and gripped the strap of her message bag tighter.

"I should go apologize." Edward went to step forward but was blocked by the pixie. "Alice, move."

Rosalie furrowed her eyebrows at her siblings' behaviour. "Please tell me you're not going to fight over a silly human?" She whined.

"There'll be no fighting involved." Alice stated calmly, her eyes narrowing up at Edward's.

Emmett cleared his throat as a motorcycle pulled up next to the red truck. "Looks like you have competition."

Edward and Alice turned around just in time to witness a tall and bulky boy turn off his motorcycle and pull Bella into a tight hug. They watched as the brunette's eyes smiled with the boy's when he put her down. Her fingers trailed over the handle bars as she laughed at something that was said.

"He's in love with her." Edward stated in a rough voice. "Only she doesn't know it yet."

"Isn't it annoying digging through others heads?" Jasper asked, a bit amused.

"Um guys?" Alice turned around in panic, her eyes wild and almost scared like. "I can't see Bella!"

"Dude, she's right there." Emmett punched her arm and pointed to the girl across the lot.

"Shut up, that's not what I meant." Alice hissed. "I can't see her in my head. Before she was heading home and now... I..."

"See? Not so fun when it doesn't work with you either." Edward grumbled and relaxed a little as the guy started up his motorcycle again and took off down the road.

Alice shook her head and frowned, her visions slowly coming back to where Bella was concerned. "That was weird."

"That wasn't just a boy," Jasper nearly hissed with disgust, "that was a-"

"-mongrel, a werewolf." Rosalie finished off with a hand to her mouth in shock. "Does Bella know she's hanging out with a dog?"

Alice started to march towards the brunette, who was about to climb into her truck. "I'll be home in a bit! Tell Esme and Carlisle that I won't be long."

"Alice! Where are you going?" Edward yelled but was ignored. He stuffed his hands roughly in his pockets and watched at his sister danced her way towards Bella.

"Alice 1, Edward 0." Emmett laughed and was hit in the gut by his wife. He just howled even harder with laughter and pulled her towards the jeep.

"You know, after being with Alice for over sixty years, I've never seen her this excited and carefree." Jasper placed a hand on Edward's shoulder. "It's nice to see her this way."

Jasper Hale and Alice Cullen had stopped being a couple when her visions of Jasper taking off to find himself once again, had played over and over again. She couldn't handle the heartache of coming home and finding him gone since he knew how to block her visions with practiced ease. Even though Jasper decided to stay for a bit longer with the Cullen family, he and Alice decided that being together just wasn't it for them anymore, despite Carlisle and Esme's protests.

Edward just shrugged and made his way towards his Volvo. Good thing no one could read his mind– things weren't exactly pleasant at the moment.

"Are you sure you don't mind taking me home?" Alice asked Bella as she hopped into the passenger side. "Edward has errands to run and Emmett is taking Rosalie out for dinner. I didn't feel like tagging along for either." The tiny lie slipped her perfect lips.

Bella flashed a smile in the other girl's direction and turned down the radio slightly. "I really don't mind but I do have to stop by my house first. Charlie insisted on getting satellite and internet all that stuff to make my stay better," she snorted a bit, "he's supposed to be working late so I offered to let the guys in to do their work or whatever."

"No problem." Alice beamed, her tiny features looking even more perfect to the brunette sitting beside her. "So who was your friend?"

"Jacob?" Bella answered with a question. "My dad and his dad grew up together. The guys from La Push are pretty much my only friends around here." She finished off sheepishly.

Alice bit her lip and tried to contain herself from blurting out what exactly Jacob was. It wasn't her place to say and since she wasn't allowed to announce what she was, she assumed it was the same for the wolves. "Ah," she finally breathed, "that explains the smell."

Bella looked at her weirdly and just like in biology class, she sniffed herself.

"Oh no no," Alice's laughter rang through the truck lightly as she propped her elbow up on the passenger window, sending warm feelings through Bella. "You still smell wonderful, I just meant that your clothes smell like La Push."

Bella frowned and raised an eyebrow while keeping her eye on the road. "How can my clothes smell like La Push?"

"You'll just have to trust me. I can't exactly explain it right but they do." Alice nodded and glanced over at the brunette. "So you know Jacob really well?"

Bella snorted and caught the golden eyes gaze. "Why, are you interested?"

"No. Not in the slightest." Alice shrugged honestly but then smirked a little. "He is kind of cute though, are you two..."

"Uh, no." Bella replied fast. "I think he wants to be more than friends. I sense that much around him but I'm just not..."

"Interested?" Alice asked softly.

"Something like that." Bella nodded slowly and turned down her street. "Hey, my dad is home. Do you mind if I stop still?"

"I'll follow you anywhere, Bella." Alice said sincerely and caught the pinkish tinge grace her new friend's face.

Once they were inside, Charlie had greeted his daughter. "I figured it was pretty slow and I caught up in all my paper work, I'd come home to hear about your first day, Bells." His eyes landed to the short dark haired woman. "Hello."

"Dad, this is Alice Cullen." Bella introduced the two and put her bag on the staircase.

"Nice to meet you Chief Swan." Alice shook his hand softly and watched as his gaze drifted to the coldness of her hand.

"Likewise. Dr. Carlisle is a good man, I'm very fond of your father." Charlie smiled and looked at his hand as he let go of the girl's. "It was very nice to meet you."

"You too Chief Swan." Alice smiled and started to follow Bella up the stairs.

"Please, call me Charlie." He stated nicely. "I'll talk with you later Bells. I wanna hear how your day went!"

Bella rolled her eyes but nodded, leading Alice towards her bedroom. She opened the door and flung her bag onto the bed. "Not much to look at," she shrugged and stuffed her hands in his pocket.

"Aww," Alice cooed as she noticed a few stuffed animals sitting perfectly on top of Bella's made up bed. "I have this one teddy that I don't let out of my sight at night."

"Really?" Bella asked amused as she sat down in her computer chair. "Do you snuggle him when you sleep?"

"Used too." Alice smiled truthfully. Truth was she never slept anymore; she never had to worry about dreaming again. Of course with her gift of seeing the future, she could still collapse into a day dream only that dream would come true eventually.

"So he watches over you?" Bella teased slightly and sat back a bit.

"You could say that." The short girl replied and sat down on the bed. "So did you wanna just chill before you drop me off? I could always get someone to pick me up if you want..."

"I really don't mind." The brunette warmly smiled. "I'm just gonna go change my 'La Push' smelling clothes." She winked and got up to grab a looser pair of jeans and a t-shirt. "I'll be right back."

Alice nodded silently and swallowed, her senses heightened as her vision dipped into the bathroom with Bella, catching a glimpse of a fully exposed back. She cursed herself for invading the brunette's privacy, she came back into her own head and collapsed backwards onto the bed. "Pervert." She mumbled to herself and sat up quickly when Bella came back into the room.

"I was thinking since your brother seems to hate me, would you like to be my new lab partner?" Bella smiled and sat down on the bed beside the other girl.

"Edward doesn't hate you," she spoke softly, "he just... reacts differently around certain people."

"And I'm different?" Bella looked slightly shocked.

"You're special." Alice offered sweetly and knew that if her heart was still alive and kicking, it would've skipped beats at the shy smile Bella was giving her.
