**I AM NOT STEPHENIE MEYER SO I DO NOT OWN TWILIGHT.

The week flew by and before I knew it was Friday. I met Angela after school and she followed me to my house. I ran inside and left my dad a note reminding him I was going to Port Angles with Angela. I ran back outside and jumped in Angela's car. She insisted on driving, she wasn't convinced my truck would get us home. What is it with people and my truck? I agreed when she said I could drive her car. We made it in a short amount of time so we decided to shop a little before we went to eat. We went to the same restaurant that Edward took me too. I felt my heart squeeze and had to push myself in the doorway. I looked at the table where Edward and I had sat, sitting at the table was a man with bronze hair! Oh no, I couldn't breath. I looked away and when I looked back the table was empty and set perfectly. I looked around looking for the bronze hair man and couldn't find him anywhere. Angela noticed this, she squeezed my hand.

"Want to go somewhere else?" She asked softly.

".....No, I need to do this." I look down and followed the waitress to our table. We ordered and got out quickly. Outside me looked at each other and laughed. I could just imagine how we looked scarfing our food down and practically running out the door.

After about five stores I finally had everything I wanted. I found the most beautiful lamp, it had a deep red color base with a dark gold shade that had little ruby crystals hanging down around the bottom of the shade. I also found a crimson comforter with matching gold and red striped sheets. The rug so the same color as the comforter. I loved everything! It was dark when we done shopping. Angela suggested ice cream so we dropped off the bags and went to find the store that made home made ice cream. As we were walking I noticed a small dark haired girl walk into a clothing shop. I grabbed Angela and crossed the street. She looked at me wondering where we were headed.

"I just want to go into this shop for a second" I told her distractedly.

"Um OK, did you see something you wanted?" She asked me.

I looked around but didn't see the dark haired girl. What is wrong with me? First I think I see Edward now Alice. GAH!

"No I guess not. Let's find the ice cream shop." I smile at her but I think notices something is wrong. We found the ice cream shop on the corner. We ordered and decided to eat it as we walked. I couldn't shake the feeling we were being watched. I tried to look around without Angela noticing. I'm not sure it worked.

By now it was dark so we headed for the car.

Angela dropped me off at home and I turned to wave good bye to her. I was struggling to get everything inside. I only got half way when I dropped the comforter and felt the lamp falling. I managed to keep hold of the lamp but I wasn't so lucky. I went down with legs crossed and landed on my back. Yep, graceful me. I started to laugh when I heard what sounded like bells laughing with me. It stole my breath and I looked around. This time I knew I wasn't alone. I saw a figure standing at the tree line at the side of our house. I think it was a female, because of the hair. It was long and red, just like in my dream! I felt in a daze. Sweet Bella, you must be more careful not to be alone. You are too precious to me. Please be careful. Those were not my thoughts. Strangely I don't feel afraid, like I know this person won't hurt me. I start to walk over to the trees when I hear a growl. I stop dead in my tracks, I know that sound and I'm afraid. I run back to get my stuff and hurry to the porch. I looked back and see a blur running into the woods where I saw the other person standing but she was gone. I stand there for a few minutes but I don't see anything else.

I go inside and see my dad asleep on the couch so I wake him up. "Hi dad" I say softly.

"Just get home?" He sits up and notices my bags.

" Yeah. We had a good time." I say as I head up. " I'm gonna head up and probably call it a night."

"Bells? You are you ok? You seem bothered by something." Hes looking intently at me.

"No I'm fine just exhausted." I lied. Now I feel worse, I hate to lie especially to my dad but I'm afraid to tell him and he goes outside and gets hurt. So I remain quiet and pray those figures left.

I boot up my computer and make my bed with the new sheets as I wait for the computer to load. I haven't checked my e-mails lately, I'm sure my mom has written and is getting worried. I love the new comforter set it looks great with the gold walls and brown carpet. The lamp makes the room look cozy and soft. I sit down to read my e-mails, yep three from my mom. I type her a letter describing my room and the stuff I just got tonight. I send her my love and sigh off. i grab my book off the nightstand. I open to my saved place and start reading, but tonight I can't lose myself in the book. My mind is filled with questions and memories of the last week. I decide to take a shower so I grab my pajamas and head to the bathroom. When I get back to my room I see something pink on my bed. As I pick it up I recognize what it is. Its my ballet slippers from when I took ballet classes along time ago. My mom kept them as a memento of my dancing days. My hand is shaking and my mind is reeling. How did they get here? Just like my mirror I left this at my mom's home. I'm not sure how much longer I can act like nothing is wrong. Should I tell my dad? I decide to head downstairs.

Dad is still awake watching tv, so I just start talking, telling him about tonight starting with the resturant up to finding these on my bed just now. He isn't happy I waited so long to tell him. He goes upstairs to look around but doesn't see anything so he looks around outside. He looks other again. Predatory. This is the second time I'm actually feeling afraid of my dad.

"I don't see anything outside. Trust me, we are safe." He tells me as he locks the front door.

I don't really believe him. If a vampire wants in nothing can stop it. I head back upstairs and get into bed. I can't sleep and I'm feeling scared so I turn on my CD player and find my lullaby. Even though the song causes me pain to hear it also calms me down. I find myself thinking of my dad. Something was going on and I wasn't sure what it was. Why do I get the feeling I'm missing something very important when it comes to my dad? I didn't spent alot of time with him growing up, just a few weeks a year. He always seemed like me, quiet and kept to himself. He is a good dad and now he is a good friend. Since Edward left, we talk more and feel closer than ever. He has been my life support, always pulling me back if I got to close to the edge of dispare. I can't tell him everything about Edward but he has been supportive, almost like he knows more than hes letting on. He was even more than happy to help redo my room. Lately I've been catching him staring at me and he seems more distant, lost in thought. And a couple of times it seems he wants to tell me something, but he just walks away. I don't ask him. I figure he'll tell me when he's ready. And I'm not sure I going to like it.
