Thank you for reviewing. I know that the first chapters have a lot of Edward/Bella in them, but this story is after all about Alice, Bella & Edward, so he won't fully leave the story. But, I can assure you, the coming chapters will have a lot more Alice/Bella in it. Hope you enjoy it!

I sit silently on my bed as I hear the sound of Bella's footsteps fade, off to Edward's bedroom. When his door closes I get up quickly and walk to the hallway. I can smell Bella all through the house.

Why am I focussing on Bella's smell? Why do I care..?

I shake my head and walk down the staircase, heading for the kitchen. I really enjoy the silence, it makes me feel calm. When I sit down at the breakfast bar I close my eyes, smiling as I remember this afternoon. Bella looked so beautiful in her new bikini.

ALICE! Stop this. Why am I thinking of Bella in her bikini!?

Suddenly I feel a strange tingle inside my stomach.

Huh..?

I get up and quickly put on some soft music. The music overflows my body and I twirl around the house. My eyes are closed and I let every note fill my head. Suddenly the music fades into the background and I see two perfect, brown eyes, staring at me. I open my eyes and search through the room. No. I'm all alone. Bella isn't here.
Slowly I close my eyes again and try to focus on the music again.

"Goodnight, Alice.."

Her voice echoes through my head. I keep dancing around the room and realize it won't work trying to block her out of my mind.

Why is Bella stuck in my mind..

I stop and stand still in the middle of the living room. A vision hits me.

Bella, laughing. Dark. Living room. Myself. Emotions. Tears. Laughter..

My mouth is agape and I have no idea what this vision means. I sink down on the sofa and close my eyes once more.

You know you want to be with her. You need more time with her.

I blink and try to stop all the nonsense going on in my head. What could all this mean? Of course, I know I love spending time with Bella. It's like she's always been in our family. I just love the way she laughs when we are having fun together..

"Alice..?"

I jump up from the sofa, surprised.

"Alice, we're you actually surprised?"

It's only Esme.

Actually, this is the first time I didn't see something coming. Wow.. I never ever had this before.. I always know.. everything..

"Yes, hmm.. I think so.. Why are you downstairs so late?"

Esme walks closer to me and hugs me for a short moment. She has always been my mother. Never does it feel strange, to have such a strong bond with someone who is not even real family.

"I just didn't feel like reading in the study anymore. Your dad is still busy with his work.."

I nod, silently, and realize the music is still playing.

"And you?"

The vision flashes through my mind.

"Oh. I was just.. uhm.. dancing and listening music, as I do most of the time." I wink at Esme and we both chuckle.

"You've always been so passionate about dancing. It's lovely to see you dance, so caught up in the music.."

I smile at Esme. I love the way we can be so close.

"Well, Alice, I think I'll go back up now. Hopefully your dad will be done too, soon."

We hug tightly and then Esme walks back upstairs. I decide I should better go up to my room again and turn off the music. Once upstairs I stop in front of Edward's room. I listen quietly and hear no voices.

"Goodnight, Alice."

Edward's voice in my head makes me jump, again.

Second time, damn it! How can this happen to me? And I totally forgot! Would Edward know what I was thinking..

"Just go to bed, Alice. I wasn't listening to your impure thoughts about hot guys.."

I sigh.

"Why would you think I'm listening to your thoughts when I have Bella next to me..? You know how I feel when she's here.."

I do know how he feels..

"Goodnight, Edward."

Quickly I block my thoughts, thinking of music, and walk to my own bedroom.

He can't know about my visions. He can't know that I feel strange around Bella..

I lie down on my bed and close my eyes. Edward is focussing on Bella again and I lie here, alone. If only I had someone to hold through the night. Someone who would hold me and I could hold back.. I take my headphones from my desk and put on soft music again. Immediately I see brown eyes again. Bella's eyes. Instead of wonder why, I just surrender to what I'm seeing and let my mind take it's course.

Bella smiles at me widely. Slowly she walks towards me and I reach out my arms.

"I want to hold you so bad.." she whispers.

I start walking to and meet her halfway. My arms quickly wrap around her body. She feels so warm against my cold skin.

"You smell delicious.." I moan in her ear.

"You more.." Bella answers, and I let my fingers slide through her hair.

"We can't do this, Bella.." I whisper while taking her face in my hands. "Think of Edward.."

Bella nods at me and her hands close around my face too.

"I know.. but I can't help it.. I can't help longing for you.. Alice.."

Bella leans towards me and I feel her breasts, underneath the tight pyjamas that she's wearing, touch mine. Then, she presses her lips against mine and I shiver. Her lips feel so soft, and warm. I press harder against her lips and answer her kiss. Softly I feel her hot tongue slide across my bottom lip.

"Oh, Bella.."

Our tongues meet and Bella wraps her arms around my neck.

"I need you, Bella.." I whisper.

Bella nods and we kiss deeper, more passionate. My fingers start caressing her soft skin. Her cheeks, her neck and shoulders, her upper arms..

"Not there.. Here.." Bella says and takes my hands, only to put them on top of her delicious curves. I moan softly and press my fingers into her perfect body.

"Please stay with me, Bella.."

Her longing eyes stare into mine, we kiss again..

I open my eyes widely and stare at the ceiling. This can't be right! Bella belongs to Edward.. right?

The darkness in Alice's room feels strangely good. I can't see everything in the room, but the light coming through the window makes me see her clearly. Her eyes are a bright red colour. Am I in danger..? I walk towards her, she's sitting on her bed.

"Stop, Bella," Alice says to me. I stop for a second and look into her red eyes.

"Why? I want to talk to you." I whisper, trembling.

"I'm hungry for you, Bella.." Alice keeps staring at me.

I feel a shiver run down my spine. Still, I step forward, reaching out for her.

"No, Bella, I'm dangerous, go back!" Alice says louder this time. "Can't you see!? I'm so hungry for you.. all of you.."

Before Alice can say more I jump towards her and wrap my arms around her.

"No.. no, NO..!" Alice whimpers, trying to struggle herself gently out of my hold, making sure I don't get hurt.

"Why, Alice, why are you like this? What's wrong?"

I try and calm her down in my arms. Suddenly, Alice stops struggling and looks at me. We stand there, pressed together in the dark, staring. Then, Alice leans forward. I freeze and assume she's going to bite me.

"No, ALICE!" I scream in shock, but before I can push her away I feel her lips pressing against my neck.

Huh? What did just happen?

"So hungry.." Alice whispers once more. Her lips trail kisses up and down my neck. All of a sudden she steps back. Her eyes wide open, in total horror. Before I can blink she's out the window. Quickly I run to the window.

"Alice, where are you going?" I shout.

In the distance I see Alice running away from me. I feel like screaming and try to run after her but my feet feel glued to the floor.

"Alice, come back, please!" I shout again. "I need you, come back.. ALICE!!"

..

"Bella, Bella! Wake up!" Edward calls.

I open my eyes quickly and see Edward close to me. His whole face shows signs of shock.

"Are you ok? Bella? You had a nightmare. You kept screaming Alice's name.."

I stare into his eyes and feel tears welling up.

"Is Alice ok? Where is she?" I ask, trying really hard not to cry.

"Alice is fine, Bella. She's in her room, probably listening music. Nothing's wrong."

I sigh and press myself against Edward's chest.

"You're safe here, Bella, I'm here now," Edward coos.

I hear sobs breaking out of my throat and I sit up for a moment.

"Can I go to Alice for a second, please. I know she's ok, like you say, but I think I would feel a lot better seeing her myself."

My sobs make it harder to talk. Edward looks into my eyes and smiles.

"Of course, love, if that makes you feel better. If you're looking for me later, I'll be downstairs. I really feel like playing piano."

I smile at Edward through my tears and softly he wipes them away. Quickly I take his hand and press a kiss on his cold skin.

"Thank you, Edward. I love you." I whisper.

"It's fine, of course. I love you too, Bella."

Edward smiles at me and kisses me on my lips. Then, he turns around and walks out of the room. I follow him but walk towards Alice's room. I knock but no one answers. Surely she must have heard me. And even if she didn't, she must have seen that I was coming to her room.. I open the door and see Alice lying on her bed. Her eyes are wide open and she has her headphones on again. Maybe that's why she didn't hear me. I walk closer to her bed, and suddenly she jumps up, looking wildly at me.

"Bella, what is wrong!? Why are you crying!? Where's Edward?"

She comes closer and wraps her arms around me tightly. I start sobbing again.

"Edward is downstairs. I just wanted to see you. I had a nightmare.. about you.." I answer slowly, trying not to break down more."Edward says I was screaming your name, Alice. I was so scared. You were here.. and then.. you left. You ran from me!"

More tears run down my cheeks and Alice presses me closer to her.

"Bella, I won't ever run from you, I promise.." she whispers in my ear, and I feel a tingle go through my veins.

If she only knew what my dream was about. I'm sure she would run as fast as she could..

I press Alice close to me and inhale her scent. The exact same scent as the shampoo I used in the shower. It's delicious. Alice takes my hand and makes me sit down on her bed.

"Do you want to talk to me about your nightmare, Bella?" Alice smiles at me and wipes away the escaped tears.

"You know you can tell me everything."

Shit..
