Alice told me about how things would work between us now, including a few things which...................... Well, lets just say I was glad I couldn't blush anymore. Along with a few other things. Apparently there was a pack of shape-shifters on the reservation, which Seth was part of. That explained the flash of fur I'd thought I'd seen. Seth had found out we were missing and wanted to help. He got into a Hell of a lot of trouble for it, but he wanted to do something.

"Hey, what is that you keep thinking about?"

I kept seeing the same place, and I wanted to know why she was thinking about that.

"Just something I wanted to talk to you about......................... You're right, you're memories are perfect."

I had been thinking about the first time I saw her, how she wouldn't stop until I spoke to her.

"Yeah, they are. What were you thinking about?"

"I was just thinking that we could get away for a while. What do you think?"

I thought that was a good idea, and she said she would sort everything out.

I found Angela, and we sat in the living room, talking. She was doing pretty well, although things were a bit harder for her. But, Bret was helping her.

"Where's Alice?"

"She thought it would be a good idea for us to get away for a while. Where I'm not sure. I'm not even allowed to pack, she's sorting everything now."

Angela nodded, and ran her hand through her dark hair.

"Yeah, Bret said something about that when I'm a bit................... Well, when I get used to this."

"Yeah, but Bret is there for you. Right?"

"Yeah."

I sat back, and could feel Alice's excitement, making me smile.

"What is it?"

I looked at her, and explained the connection between us. Angela understood, but she didn't share that with Bret. Bret joined us, and said something about Alice talking about going somewhere.

"Yeah, we're going................... Somewhere. I'm not even allowed to pack."

"That explains the suitcases. How are you feeling?"

I shrugged, and thought about my dad. Thinking about him upset me, but this time was different. I felt................... A little odd.

Alice appeared next to me, and took my hand.

I saw my dad in the living room, pacing, worried about me.

I blinked, looking at Alice.

"What was that?"

It turns out that I can see what people are doing at that exact moment, if I concentrate enough. Alice could see what people would do, based on what they decide, but I could see what they were doing at that exact moment.

I sat back on the couch, and looked at Alice. She grabbed my hand, and kissed me.

"Come on."

She dragged me upstairs, and I realised that I'd been talking to Bret and Angela for longer than I thought.

I saw a few bags packed, and she turned to me, looking excited.

"Where are we going?"

Alice explained everything about where we were going, Isle Esme.

I sat on the bed, watching her. She looked at me, and when she saw me smiling, she stopped.

"Is something wrong?"

I shook my head, and grabbed her hand. She sat on my lap, and I looked at her.

"Of course not, pixie. Why would you say that?"

she shrugged, and I could see that what she saw was bothering her. I sighed, and wrapped my arms around her.

"Alice, you have nothing to worry about. I love you, pixie, no one else."

"I know, kitty. Seeing that upset me and I just-"

"Mary Alice Brandon Cullen."

Cynthia had told me Alice's full name, which annoyed Alice.

She didnt like that, and I could see what she thought of that.

I'm going to get Cynthia for that.

"Dont hurt either of your sisters. Seriously though, I love you, Alice. I'm not sure why you saw that, but I know it will never happen."

Later on, we were downstairs with the others, getting ready to leave. Bret and Angela were gone out, and I was talking to Rosalie, Emmett, and Toni. Alice was doing.................. Something. I'd talked her out of getting Cynthia back.

"How are you feeling?"

"Pretty good. What about you?"

I looked at Toni, who shrugged.

"I'm fine, Bella. Where's Alice?"

"Upstairs. What about Cynthia?"

"She's.............. There she is."

She sat next to Toni, and Rosalie left with Emmett, going out.

"I was just talking to Alice, who is annoyed with me over............... Something."

OK, maybe I didn't. Toni looked at her, confused. Cynthia shook her head, and smiled at me.

"I told Bella her full name, and apparently you used it earlier."

I nodded, but didn't say anything. I didn't know how much she knew, and didn't want to tell her anything that Alice didn't want her to know.

"Yeah, I did."

Alice walked in, and sat next to me. I kissed her, and she leaned against me. I could feel her unease, but she seemed to relax being close to me.

I looked at the others, and Toni leaned against Cynthia. There was an odd look on Cynthia's face that I couldn't figure out. I thought about everything, and Alice suggested getting ready to go.

Toni went upstairs, and Alice grabbed the bags. I leaned against the couch, as Cynthia grabbed something.

She stood next to me, and looked at me.

"How are you feeling about everything?"

"Good. Did Alice tell you about the connection between us?"

She nodded, and looked away. She seemed.................... Upset?

"Yeah, she did. She was so worried about you."

"Yeah, but I'm fine now. What about you two?"

She shrugged, and looked at me.

"We're fine."

I kept getting the feeling there was more to this than she was telling me. It was like she didn't want to talk about Toni at all.

"She seemed pretty comfortable."

She smiled, running her hand through her hair.

"Yeah. So did Alice."

"Yeah. She's excited about this. So am I."

I noticed she'd moved a little closer, and in that moment, I realised why Alice had seen what she did.

Alice walked back down, and I walked over to her, kissing her. I knew she could tell I was uncomfortable. She grabbed my hand, and we left. I could see that she knew what I was thinking about.

"I knew there was a reason I saw that! She must have considered it, there's between tension between the two of them lately."

So, Cynthia had actually had actually been considering trying to get between us because things were a little rocky between her and Toni...................... Well, that's never going to happen.

I gasped, as I saw where we would be staying. Alice laughed, and pulled me toward her. She kissed me, and we walked in. I looked around, seeing everything. There were a few couches around the large room we were standing in, which was well lit, as it was quite late. Not that it really mattered to us.

I turned to Alice, who was watching me. She turned, walking down the hall. I followed her, grabbing our bag. She led me to a bedroom, and I put the bags in the corner. She had her back to me, standing next to the bed and I walked over to her, wrapping my arms around her. She leaned back against me, and I kissed her neck.

She turned around, kissing me.

I could feel exactly what she did, through our connection and I was having trouble figuring out where my feelings stopped and hers started.

I lay next to her, thinking. I could feel the bite on my left shoulder. She had one on her to, something I was nervous about. I trusted her, I was nervous about doing that myself. But she told me she trusted me, and now she was laying next to me, kissing my neck.

"Aliiiiice!"

She laughed, ignoring that, and kept kissing me.

"You weren't complaining earlier."

Well, earlier I couldn't form a coherent thought, never mind a coherent sentence. But, she didn't need to know that.

Wait..........................

"I don't need to know what exactly?"

She knew exactly what I was thinking, and wanted me to admit it.

I didn't answer her, and she stopped, looking up at me.

"You know what, come here."

She lay next to me, and I kissed her.

"Are you-"

"I'm fine, pixie. I'm more worried about you."

I could see how worried she was about how I felt about what had happened. But, I was more concerned about her, I didn't want to hurt her.

"Bella, you could never hurt me, you know that. And stop thinking about the hug, it wasn't your fault."

I was thinking about the hug I gave her when I woke up.

"I'll try relax, I promise."

A few hours later, we got up.

I got to see what she packed for me, and I could see why she wouldn't let me pack.......................

"Find something?"

Nothing I can leave the house in, no.

She laughed, and walked over to me.

"We don't have to go out."

Looks like I'm not going anywhere.........................
