Sorry guys it took me a bit longer to update but I've given you 3 chapters so I hop that makes up for it. I was just really busy with end of year exams and work and stuff. Thanx for waiting and I hope you like what I've written. Please review. Mwahz. xx.

"Ah, Bella. Nice to speak to you again." I recognised the voice instantly, it was my mystery caller.

Chapter 12:

BPOV

"What do you want?" I asked, not thinking.

"I believe I have already answered that question for you." His tone friendly yet disturbing.

"Why are you calling me? I already told you, i don't want anything to do with you." I replied, my voice shaky.

"Maybe you had a change of heart… Anyway, how come you didn't answer your mobile? I saw you going to reach for it, then you just stopped."

"How did you get my number?" I asked worry definitely showing now. Nobody had that number except my closest friends and my dad, no-one that would give a total stranger my number.

"I have my sources." he replied confidently.

As the worry started taking over, I felt the sudden urge that I shouldn't be afraid of this person. He was only making calls, for all I knew he could be 15 and pranking me. I had to let this guy know that I wasn't afraid of him, and that I knew he couldn't hurt me - I mean I had Jacob and my dad to protect me.

"Yeh? What sources might they be?" I asked confidently. He stuttered at first, not expecting my question, then he regained his evilness and spoke quietly, threateningly.

"Sources that went to high school with you. Sources that you trust, well you might not trust them anymore, but sources that you used to trust. That you were friends with all through you schooling years. Someone you may have gone out with, maybe it was an ex-boyfriend. Maybe, it was a girlfriend, but if I told you that, you may find out who I am. And we wouldn't want that would we?" A hypothetical question I assumed, but I felt the need to make him wish he hadn't have asked.

"Actually, we would. Well, I would, it wouldn't be very good for you if the Chief Charlie Swan found out I had a stalker." I answered.

"Yes. I overheard that conversation with Charlie. Though I do remember you referring to me as your 'mystery caller'." He retaliated.

"Well that was after only one phone call. Now it's two I'm starting to think you're a little desperate. How original, I mean stalking a small town girl, daughter of the Chief Police Officer, just found a boyfriend she actually likes and now a big bad man wants to take her a way. Sounds a little like a cheesy movie don't you think?" I spoke the words with confidence I knew I could back up. I really wasn't all that afraid of this pathetic looser.

Just then a customer walked in, "Well, Bella I'm sorry but you seem to have company so I'll let you go. But don't think this will be the last call from me. Goodbye Bells." He said then he hung up. He was using my dads nickname for me. How long had this weirdo been watching me? Unanswered questions were now racing through my head, though I was brought out of my trance by a young woman speaking to me.

"Um… excuse me?" the woman asked.

"Yes, how can I help you?" I replied.

"Well, my brother, Edward," I finally knew his name, "came in yesterday and bought this top for me," she pulled out the little white top that I had so reluctantly tried on yesterday for 'Edward', "and he grabbed a size too big I was just wondering if I could exchange it for a smaller one." she added.

"Yes, no problem I'll just grab it for you. What size did you need?" I asked her.

"A four please." She answered.

"It's a lovely top isn't it?" I asked, trying to make small talk.

"Yes, it's gorgeous." she added with little exaggeration.

"Your brother must really like you to pick out something you would actually where."

"Yes, Edward is a wonderful brother. He always knows what to get me, it's like he can read my mind sometimes." She told me. I was suddenly curious about this dashing, kind-hearted brother of hers. Edward. What a beautiful name. Older, yet modern in a way. It really suited him, all of him, those green eyes and that luscious bronze hair with his beautiful pale skin. Wait…What am I saying? I have Jacob, and I love every bit of him.

"Here you go." I said as I handed her the top.

"Thanks, by the way my names Alice. It was lovely to meet you." she told me as she hugged me and walked out the door into the cool, Monday morning air.

"Bye…" I said as the door closed behind her.

She walked only two paces and jumped into an awesome yellow Porsche. The she gave me a small wave and drove off. She was a… chirpy girl, just as Edward had said. "Definitely chirpy!" he had said yesterday, and she was very chirpy indeed.
