. an alice in wonderland i be .
Alice thinks that Bella is too soft for the cold world of vampires, but the little human is much stronger then Alice ever gives her credit for. The human world, after all, isn't too perfect either and it's plagued with dangers and monsters too. But Alice would much rather spend a limited number of days in that then in the damned eternity she's stuck with.
She wishes that Bella didn't want to become a monster. To become a beauty, a deadly beauty, but one who's only there to play in the world of humans and never reveal that the imaginations of authors and teenage girls with fantasies are true. That can't ever happen, or the 'make-believe' would have to come to an end. Or at least, for Alice it would.
She knows that Bella will be one of them, and she can't stop it from happening. Every time she presses her cold, hard lips to the soft and delicate ones which mark Bella as being the fragile human that she is, Alice is constantly remind that time is slowly, oh so slowly, ticking away for her. Time is the enemy, an enemy Alice is almost terrified to fight against it, just because she knows that there's the slightest chance that she won't win.
Bella gets into too much trouble.
Whether it's vampires or werewolves, Bella is at the heart of the monsters' den. She's always there, playing around with creatures that aren't supposed to exist outside of the imagination, as though it's an every day occurance. Bella always toes the line between safety and danger; she's proven this time and time again.
Alice's allowed courtship of her is an example of that. A normal human would probably cut off all ties the moment that Alice revealed what she was, most likely because they thought she was crazy (or worse, they actually believed her), but Bella isn't like other humans.
Bella is... different, and that's the best explanation that Alice has ever been able to come up with. Of course, she wouldn't change anything about Bella, not ever, because then she wouldn't be Bella anymore.
FIN.
