A/N Ok, so I still feel really bad for not updating for that long. So I tried to write another chapter to make up for it. My therapist will be proud, writing this stuff has finally given me something to do rather than hurt myself. I mean sure, art coursework distracted me a bit but I just couldn't focus on it anymore. But writing has always relaxed me. If this state continues as long as it normally does then I should be updating quite a bit from now on. Better than the alternative.

Anyway, hope you like this one, it's slightly different to the past two. Good different I hope.

Mrs TMR Potter-Snape - You crazy person... who the hell are you? XD **rawrss**

Hey to Eolian and Elphaba Cullen =]

Thanks to anyone who has favourited or alerted this fic =]

Disclaimer: **cries** Why can't Alice Cullen be my creation? Or real? That would be awesome...

Why is everything so dark?

And what is it with that incessant beeping? God! It's really not helping my headache, maybe I should try to stop it.

OW! Note to self, don't move body. Everything hurts and there's this uncomfortable pulling in my arm. There is something nice and cold along my left side and stomach though. Hmmm, that's very nice; it's like a massive ice pack. I should get closer.

I shuffled closer to the massive icepack, ignoring the pain that the movement caused just so that I could feel the benefits of the coldness.

That's strange; my icepack is vibrating and appears to be purring. A purring icepack? What type of icepack purrs?

I cracked open an eye to catch a glimpse of this mysterious cat-like icepack and came face to face with the most beautiful creature I have ever seen. She literally looked like she had fallen out of heaven. Her skin was so white and flawless that my mind instantly supplied me with images of crisp, untrodden snow. Black spiky hair was splayed all around her head, acting as a weird type of halo and looking slightly sexy? Her crimson pouty lips were just begging to be kissed, and were opened slightly as she let out a purring noise.

AHA! So that's where it was coming from! However, and this was odd, despite the happy purring noise, she had massive bags under her closed eyes and looked so distraught and worried that I couldn't help myself. A creature this perfect shouldn't be sad. My pounding head was telling me that her being sad was just wrong. So, without even realising what I was doing, I reached up my hand and brushed it against her petal-soft cheek in an attempt to comfort her.

Molten gold eyes shot open and looked at me with such intensity that I lost my breath. And then I remembered.

"ALICE! You have to run! You have to go! He's going to try and kill you! He's going to –" I was cut off by her gently placing a single finger against my lips. "Shh sweetie, if you don't calm down then Carlisle is going to hear your heart monitor going wild and come in here to check on you". Her eyes were filled with such love that I couldn't help but relax and laid there waiting for her to talk.

"And Bella, dear. He's not going to kill me. After what he did to you I'm afraid he left me no choice." The way that she spat out the references to him gave me an odd sense of relief.

"You killed him didn't you?"

She looked away, ashamed and nodded her head. It was such a minute movement that I only just caught it. Feeling that overwhelming need to comfort her again, I took my least painful arm, reached up and turned her face towards me. "Thank you, you saved my life".

She grimaced. "I wouldn't have needed to save you if I hadn't seduced you" she muttered, looking away again. I felt a jolt of pain in my chest at what she was implying.

"You regret what happened between us?" This time it was I who looked away, struggling not to cry. I struggled to regain some composure until I felt cold fingers brushing my chin and gently inclining my head to look at her.

"I could never regret what happened between us. I care for you so much Bella, more than you know. I just wish I had been more sensible about how I did it, and saved you from getting so badly hurt." The sincerity was obvious in her eyes and I had to force myself to look away before I started crying again. One question was constantly in the front of my mind though.

"What about Jasper?" Seriously? Can I never be smooth? I saw Alice attempt to quash a smirk at my little outburst, and then she sorted herself up and shrugged her shoulders. "We were never properly together. It was all just an act. We made each other happy but we both knew it wasn't the 'mate link'. Jasper especially, he could tell that our emotions weren't the genuine ones. They were nothing compared to what I feel for you Bella. Nothing."

She certainly has a way with words. Maybe it's something to do with when she was born. I mean, she is a lot older than me. But yay! I don't have to worry about Jasper. Alice was quirking an eyebrow at me by this point and I realised I should probably respond. Although, I guess the massive, Cheshire cat like smile on my face could've been a response in its own right.

"I had an epiphany of sorts while he was doing all of that" She tilted her head curiously, obviously confused by my change of topic and by doing so looked ridiculously cute. I continued, "I realised that I need you Alice. The reason why I was so screwed up when you guys left? That was because you weren't there. You're the thing that makes everything alright. When you came back, everything got better. And when he was doing all of that, thinking of you was the only thing that could keep me from screaming and giving up. I need you so much more than I ever thought was possible, and erm.." my voice dwindled off as I lost my confidence, but one look at the shocked but deliriously happy expression on my angel's face caused me to finish where I'd left off.

"Alice, I love you. I know it's sudden but-mph" Again she cut me off, but this time it wasn't with her finger. It was with her deliciously soft lips that she pressed against mine, gently at first. I could feel her smiling into the kiss and that caused me to push a bit more into the kiss. I had missed her and I needed this. I felt the smile slip as she started moving her lips against mine and soon our movements became desperate. My fear of almost dying and almost losing her was what I found myself putting into the kiss, and I could feel her doing the same.

I had to be closer to her, to actually taste her so I slipped my tongue out to probe her lips. A moan forced her lips open and I took the chance to slide my tongue into her mouth and start gently exploring. I moaned from the taste and this spurred her into action as she too started moving her tongue and soon we were engaged in a furious battle for dominance which neither of us wanted to win. Moans filled the room and I could hear my heart monitor picking up, as I slipped my hands into her hair to crush her closer to me..

I'm starting to think cliffies are my trademark. I mean, I think every chapter has one. Least it keeps you gripped, right?

And MAWHAHAHHAHAHA! You all thought she was dead or going to be changed, didn't you? I was going to change her, but I love Bellice when Bella is still human! Plus, if I leave Bella as a human, I can prove how much better human Bella x Alice is compared to human Bella x Edward =] Which, we all know, is no competition. BELLICE FTW
