"Well.." I start.
How could I possibly tell Alice what I dreamt? I can't even believe it..
Tears roll down my cheeks again. Alice keeps wiping them away, smiling gently at me.
"You and I were in this room." I breathe, almost whispering to her.
My heart beats somewhere in my throat, embarrassed of my own dream.
"You can just tell me, Bella. I'm here for you.." Alice's hand lies in mine and for a moment she squeezes it, comfortingly.
I sigh loudly and look into her perfect, golden eyes.
So different than the red eyes that had looked at me in my dream.
"Your eyes, they were red. You looked at me. You were sitting on the bed, and I wanted to talk to you, but you wanted me to stay away.."
Alice looks at me sadly, understanding, and puts her other hand on my hand to.
"Why would I want that, Bella. You know I would never be like that to you."
I nod and smile weakly, staring at her hands on mine.
"You also said.." I blush and start sobbing again.
I just can't tell her this, can I? She'll laugh at me and never speak to me again after.. But we never keep things a secret. Not Alice and I.
"What did I say, Bella? It's okay.."
"Well.. you said.. You said that you were hungry for me.."
Alice's eyes open widely, in shock I guess, and she shakes her head at me.
"No! Bella! Did I hurt you? Poor girl! No wonder you are so scared! I would never hurt you, you know that, don't you!?" Alice rambles on.
"No, you didn't hurt me. At all," I whisper while she hugs me tightly.
I don't think Alice hears my words, she holds me close, pressed against her chest. I inhale deeply and decide to just stop thinking about it.
It was crazy anyway..
"You aren't scared of me now, are you..?" She whispers, sounding a little scared.
I shake my head against her chest and tears are streaming down now, for real.
"I'm not. Alice, I need you.."
For a second it feels as if Alice stiffens a little while holding me against her, and then relaxes again.
"I'm always here for you. Bella, you are way too dear to me. I'm glad you told me.." she sighs, her chin leaning on my head.
I close my eyes and just focus on Alice. Her cold skin touching my arms, the small of my back. A shiver runs down my spine.
If only she knew..
"You can tell me if you're scared, Bella. I won't be upset. It's not your fault. It's us, we are different, not you.. I won't ever hurt you."
I wrap my arms around her tightly.
"Oh, Alice," I sigh. "I'm never scared of you."

Softly I press my nose in Bella's hair.
How adorable. She used my shampoo.. It smells way better on her than on me..
"Sorry, I used your shampoo, Alice." Bella's voice sounds a little embarrassed. "But I didn't know it was yours, I just picked it because it smells so good.."
I smile and stroke her through her hair.
"It's fine, Bella. Don't worry. You can keep it as your own if you like."
She smells so good.
If only she knew what I am thinking. She would be out of my arms within seconds, running off to Edward, maybe not talking to me anymore for the rest of eternity.
Bella tries to sit up and I let go of her quickly.
"Feeling better?" I smile at her.
"Yes, thank you." Bella answers. "You always make me feel a lot better, Alice."
For a short moment we stare into each others eyes.
Why is she staring at me like that.. is she scared? I don't know. I wish I could tell her about my dreams, too. But I just simply can't..
"I think I should go back to Edward now," Bella sighs. It's almost as if she doesn't want to go.
Surely its just my imagination playing with me.
"Yes. I'm sure he's worried about you to. I'm here if you need me, Bella. No matter what, I'm always here for you.."
She smiles at me, shyly, almost blushing. Another thing I'm imagining?
"Night, Bella."
"Thank you, Alice. Goodnight.." Bella whispers.
She hugs me once more, then gets up from the bed quickly and walks out of the room. Before completely being out of sight, Bella turns around to stare at me, and then disappears into the hallway.
What is wrong with Bella? Is she not telling me something? She never stares at me like she is really scared of me.
Oh, I hope not. I can't bare the thought of having to be without her..
I take my diary out of the desk and look for a pen. I haven't felt like writing for a long time, but now I just want to write my feelings down. I open the tiny book and let my pen slide across the paper.
Dear Diary,
I know it has been a long time since I wrote. Now, I just really need to get rid of some emotions. My brother's girlfriend, Bella.. Since today things are heading in the wrong direction. I had a vision about her. It were just flashes, all including the both of us. Bella and me. I don't know what to do..
I close my eyes for a moment and hear Bella's voice. She's crying, really loud.
I thought things were okay, she looked fine when she left my room.. Maybe I am wrong again..
I get up and think of taking a shower. Maybe that would be nice, take a little time to turn my thoughts back to normal.
"Alice, what is wrong with Bella?" Edward's voice sounds in my head.
I sigh.
I should be more careful from now on. I keep forgetting that Edward could easily know what goes through my head.
"She had a nightmare, about me. Bella dreamt that I was telling her I was hungry for her.."
I hear Edward chuckle in my mind. I don't really see how this is funny.
"You? Hungry for Bella? Ha-ha, you are not dangerous at all.."
"Edward! This is not funny! What if she thinks I'm a monster. What if she's scared of me!?"
"Relax, Alice. I'm sure Bella would never be scared of you. Her dreams are just a little.. vivid."
How can my brother be laughing about this. He knows that Bella should be afraid of us. He knows it's not normal for a human to be around vampires all the time. It's not the way it's supposed to be.
"I'm sure Bella will be fine. Talk soon.."
With those words he leaves my mind. I'm sure he's holding her tight now.
Why do I suddenly feel so jealous? I've never been jealous, not about anything..
Quickly I close my diary and pick up a reading book. I should change my thoughts as soon as possible.

"What are you laughing about, Edward?"
I look at him and he looks serious again.
"Alice isn't dangerous, you know that don't you?" Edward stares into my eyes and I shiver. "She would never hurt you. Nor would I, or anyone else in this family.."
I nod and smile at him, weakly, through my crying.
"I know Edward. It was just a dream.."
I stare at my feet, slowly pressing my toes against the marble floor. Earlier I felt so cold, having to run barefoot across the hallway. Now I'm totally fine. It doesn't even feel cold anymore.
"Do you want to go back to bed, love? It is 3.15 am and I think you should try and get some more sleep." Edward whispers in my ear, while wrapping me tightly in his arms.
"Yes, that would be good.." I sigh, and take his hand in mine.
Together we walk through the house, up the staircase and back into his room. When I lie down on my side of the bed I feel that my pillow is a bit clammy.
Such an intense dream.. not a nightmare at all, but everyone else thinks it was..
I turn my pillow so I can lie on the dry side, and lie my head on it. It feels as if thousands of people are whispering inside my head. Every single one talking about Alice..
Edward lies down next to me under the sheets and pulls me to his chest.
"No more nightmares, ok, Bella?" he whispers, smiling gently at me.
I nod and smile back at him.
IT. WASN'T. A. FUCKING. NIGHTMARE.!!! Well.. not all of it..
Tears fill my eyes and I close them quickly. Edward doesn't notice, or if he does, he's not showing it.
"Edward.." I whisper, in the darkness of the room.
"Yes, love..?" he answers.
"Can I sleep in Alice's room tonight, please..?"
It's quiet for a moment.
I shouldn't have asked. How stupid am I? Would Edward think strangely about it..? FUCK
"Of course.. You know I'd rather have you in my arms every night, but the last thing I want is to have you feeling bad, and me keeping you from feeling better."
I see his white teeth while he smiles at me. His lips press a soft kiss on my forehead. Tears roll down on my pillow and I sit up quickly, stepping out of the bed.
"Think of me.." Edward whispers.
"I always do.." I answer him.
I lied..
I turn and walk towards Alice's room, closing Edward's bedroom door behind me. When I reach her room the door is already open. Alice is sitting on her bed, waiting for me, with a small bed prepared on the floor next to hers. As soon as I look into her eyes a tear escapes from mine.
Why do I feel this way?
Alice walks towards me, closes the door behind me and takes my hand to lead me to her bed.
"Sshh.. It's okay, Bella. It's all going to be okay.." Alice coos.
How could she know? Maybe.. maybe she had a vision of all this! Does she know..?
Alice has pressed my head against her shoulder and I keep still, still wondering if she already knows what's going to happen. If she knows what goes on inside my head..
"You should sleep, Bella. We can talk more in the morning, if you want. I'm not going anywhere.."
Alice has her arms around my waist.
"Can I sleep in your bed, please?" I ask, almost whispering.
"Sure, I'll sleep on the floor." Alice nods.
Before she can get up I take her arm in my hands.
"No, please stay here with me.."
Alice looks at me for a moment. Her eyes look questioning and her mouth is agape.
Great. Now she must think I'm stupid. Which sisters sleep in the same bed?
"Ok.." she whispers back at me, after a few seconds.
Tingles flow through my veins..
She pulls up the covers and lies down on one side. I quickly step in bed next to her, lying on my side, facing her. Alice places the covers back on top of us and we lie there for a moment, uncomfortable.
"If you want me to sleep on the other bed, you can tell me, Alice.." I whisper.
Without saying anything she takes my arm and places it around her body. I shiver for a second.
Her skin feels ice cold, but perfect..
I wait for a short moment, wondering if I could lie my head against her shoulder again, like the way she held me while sitting up.
"Are you comfortable like this?" Alice whispers, her voice erupting tingles through my body.
I take my head off the pillow and place it in between her shoulder and chest.
"Now I am.." I whisper back.
Am I dreaming again?
APOV
I still can't believe Edward let Bella sleep in my room this night. When Bella asked if I could sleep in the same bed with her I thought I was going insane.
Maybe I heard her wrong..
But now, she's lying here with her arm around my waist, her head on my chest.. Surely she just wants to be close to her sister.
Sister..
I let my fingers slide through her hair, still a little stiffened because I can't understand the way Bella thinks about me.
I thought she was scared of me..
"Look after Bella tonight," Edward's voice sounds in my mind.
"Sure, you know I will, Edward."
I sigh deeply. Bella shivers and I press her closer to me.
"Goodnight, sis."
"Night.."
I block my mind and look at Bella. Her eyes are closed. I can feel her heartbeat, it's fast and loud.
"Bella, are you still sca.." I start but Bella talks before I can end my sentence.
"I'm not scared of you, Alice. Never will be. You are the sweetest person I know.."
Bella sighs and warm air touches my skin. This time I shiver.
"Sweet dreams, Bella." I whisper in her hair.
"Night, Alice.." she whispers back at me, snuggling her head more towards the middle of my chest and closing her arm tighter around my waist.
I keep my fingers tangled in her hair and my free hand lies on her back, keeping her close. I keep reminding myself that I can't think of anything that would make Edward wonder. I let out a deep sigh.
This is going to be harder than I thought..
