I can't believe that me and Bella have been together for 4 months now. I feel the need to hide her from everyone. Bells is mine. She my love and my life.
I looked down at her as she was sleeping. She's so beautiful when she sleeps. I moved over to her bedroom window, getting ready to jump out and go for a hunt.
"Hmmm..." Bella was mumbling in her sleep. She always did this. I put my foot on the window ledge.
"Alice, when are we going hunting?" my head spun around. What the hell did she just say? I stared at her in shock.
Bella got out of bed and walked next to me looking out of the window. "You ready?" she went to go jump out of the window.
"Bella what are you doing?" she ignored me and carried out trying to climb out of the window. Shit!
I tried to guide her back to her bed. She must be sleepwalking. But how did she know about me going hunting? And to jump out of the window?

A couple of elks and a grizzly down I finally felt satisfied and made my way back to Bella's house. I had been hunting a lot more since I met Bella. Her blood called to me that much that it was taking everything in me not to attack her. But I knew deep down that I would never do anything to hurt my Bella.

I climbed back in through the window and noticed that Bella wasn't there. I listened harder and could only hear one heartbeat, and it wasn't Bella's. Panic rushed through my dead body. Look Alice, I thought to myself. I focused and looked to where Bella would be within the next few minutes. My eyes opened in shock. She would be in the woods in a matter of minutes facing off a bear. I ran as fast as my vampire body would and made it just in time. The bear had noticed Bella, but Bella was still sleepwalking. Could I take it down without Bella noticing? I had no choice. Within seconds the bear was disposed of and Bella was stood staring at me.
"Alice... Wh..what was that?"
I didn't know what to do. Run or tell her the truth. She moved closer to me and placed her hand on my arm.
"Alice." I held my head down. My families secret was out. Bella never seemed like the girl who would tell anyone but my family couldn't take that risk.
"Alice, please look at me" she placed a finger underneath my chin and pushed upwards so that my eyes met hers.
"Alice, I know that there's something different about you. That you're not like me or anyone else at school." I opened my mouth to speak but Bella wouldn't let me. "No, Alice. I need you to listen to me." both of her hands were clasped with mine. "I don't care that you're different. I don't care what you are. All I know is that I love you Alice, and I want to be with you. This.." she moved her hand around in the air "I'm not letting this come between us" my heart melted at that moment. I closed the space between us instantly and crashed my lips into hers. She was fully awake and she knew exactly what was happening. I love her so much that it hurts. We eventually parted and just stood holding each other for what seemed to be hours.
"You should be getting back home and getting your beauty sleep. Not that you need any, you're absolutely breath taking." Bella blushed and smiled at me.
"Yeah I suppose so. I know that you don't sleep, so I have a question to ask you.." I nodded at her to carry on, "Will you stay with me for the rest of the night? And be with me when I wake up? Please?" I couldn't deny Bella anything. No matter how much she would ever ask of me I would do everything in my power to do it.
"It would be my pleasure Miss Swan." I took her hand and placed a kiss upon her knuckles. The smile that was on Bella's face was priceless.
We began walking back towards Bella's house.
"Shit, Alice how are we going to get in? I don't have any keys." the window it is I thought to myself.
"Get on my back." Bella looked at me confused. "Trust me" I looked directly in her eyes.

"I trust you with my life" it wasn't just my life that I trusted Alice with. There was an endless list. When I woke up in the woods and I saw Alice, I was shocked but I knew that I wanted her and I never wanted to lose her. I don't care that she isn't a normal human. All I care about is the fact that she is my Alice.

I climbed onto Alice's back. I know that I'm a slim girl but I thought that I would snap Alice in half. Little did I fully understand her strength.
"Hold on tight beautiful" I wrapped my arms around her as she jumped up onto the wall then the tree. I blinked at then my bedroom was surrounding us. She placed me down on my feet so elegantly that I was speechless. We laid on my bed talking for a while. We spoke about my Mum and her husband Phil, my childhood and stuff that I'm interested in. It seems like Alice got to know everything about me but I didn't get any chance to know about her. I needed to make my move.
"Alice, what about your childhood? Your life? What you are?" her head went straight down. She took a deep breath.
"I'll explain what I am to you. But my childhood was good from what I can remember. I know that I'm originally from Paris, France. I'm guessing that explains my interest and passion for fashion." she made a slight smile at her comment. "I excelled in school and got straight A's. As you can expect I got bullied because of my grades. One night the bullies cornered me and they planned to do really bad things to me. They had knives." my hand covered my mouth. It didn't take a genius to predict what she was going to say next, but it needed to be confirmed in my head. "Then they started taunting me even more. Bringing the knife up to my neck. I can still feel the coldness of it running along my throat. After 20 minutes of them having their fun with me, the oldest male who was the group leader, he took the knife and pierced it into my abdomen." My eyes filled up with tears. How could someone do that to MY Alice? She's so fragile and delicate. "I can stop if you want me to?" I looked up at my love.
"No, please, I want to know." She simply nodded her head in reply.
"I was stabbed 6 times that night. After they had stabbed me, they just left me there. It was cold and raining. No one was around, which is why they did it I think. I was screaming out in pain and I honestly thought that I was going to die that night, until Carlisle passed me and noticed the blood. He asked me only a few questions. How old am I? Do I want to live? Even at the most tragic consequence, do I want to live that much? My answer was yes. I liked my life. I loved my life, baring the bullying of course. I had a fashion line awaiting me, a family who loved me and was proud of me. But I wasn't expecting the life that I got."
I pulled her over to me and she obliged. I wrapped her in my arms and stroked her hair.
"Carry on baby" I tried to stay calm and listen to her but inside I was hurting and pissed off to fuck to who did this to my girlfriend.
"Carlisle carried me to his house which was around a 2 minute walk. He made sure that I was warm and comfortable, that was when he bit me. I didn't know what was happening to me. The burning and the fire exploding throughout my body was horrendous. I screamed out in pain for hours. After a while, I gave in, my body couldn't handle it any more. My heart beat slowed down and I knew that I would be taking my last breath within the next 30 seconds. I remember hearing my last heart beat and taking my last breath then it's all blank."
A tear dropped down my face. "I'm so sorry that you had to go through that Alice."
She kissed my knuckles, "It's okay baby, luckily there's a happy ending to this story" I looked at her and she laughed a little bit that made me confused. "when I woke up, everything was different. My senses were heightened. It was strange. It was like I had opened my eyes for this first time. I could see every little detail, smell every aroma around me, hear things from an incredible distance. I walked over to a large mirror and was so startled by my reflection. My skin was flawless, my hair had life and beauty, my lips were plump and perfect then I noticed my eyes. My iris' had turned red. Carlisle came in and explained everything to me. That when he bit me the burning and pain was venom running through my body. My eyes were red because I was 'thirsty' but he showed me his way of life which is what you saw me doing. I'm a vampire Bells, but I survive off of the blood of animals." wow! I had a vegetarian vampire for a girlfriend. "Are you okay with this or?" I looked down at her immediately
"Of course I'm okay with this. Silly. I told you that I love you and I don't care what you are, I never want to lose you." her lips meeting mine confirmed it for both of us that we were both truly happy. "Alice, can I ask you something?"
"Of course you can"
"Have you ever craved human blood?" Her eyes froze. "I'm sorry, I'm out of order, you don't have to answer that" I didn't want to make her feel uncomfortable.
"No it's okay Bells, I just wasn't expecting it. But to answer your question, yes. I crave human blood every day. But it's not the way that I want to live. Animal blood keeps us going, but it's not as satisfying for a better word as human blood is"
"wow. Does some peoples blood feel more tempting than others?"
"More than you will ever know. Your blood, it calls to me. I have to fight so much with myself to stay in control when I'm around you. I could break you and kill you so easily, it kills me every time that I get so close to you and I get the feeling. I trust myself not to, but it's so hard Bella."

Her body started shaking and she held onto me like it was the last time that I was going to see her. "Hey, Ali come on babe. I trust you so much it's unbelievable. I know that you won't hurt me." I crashed my lips into hers and she responded with the same urgency that I was craving. "I love you Alice Cullen."
"I love you too Isabella Swan. You own my heart."
