A Witch Thing

They got back to Forks after Bella was free to leave the hospital. Carlisle showed her to her new room, giving her a warm smile and a polite nod as he said, "Make yourself at home, Elizabet .

She smiled and thanked her as he closed the door behind her. She looked around the room, an open view to the woods surrounding the house provided by the window wall.

Elizabet sat on the bed that'd been placed in the room and looked around. Before she could enjoy her surroundings any further, the door opened and Alice came barging into the room.

"Hi! You don't have any clothes in your drawers because you didn't have any clothes with you. So we're going shopping!" She exclaimed, clapping her hands at that last part.

She walked further into the room, another person following her who you ended up eeing as Jasper. Elizabet raised her brows and asked, "Shopping?"

Alice nodded, "Yes! Shopping!" Her eyes widened suddenly as she asked, "Oh my gosh! Do you not know what shopping is? You poor thing!"

She shook her head with a chuckle, "I know what shopping is, Alice. I just...haven't been shopping in years."

She frowned, "That's worse, Elizabet. You do realize this, right?"

She chuckled, "Yeah, so...when?"

She bit her lip, "Well, I would say now, but you look exhausted. So you take a nap and we'll go shopping later. I would just get your sizes...but you need a good shopping trip."

Elizabet chuckled weakly and nodded, "Okay, will do."

She smiled, "Great! See you then!" She left, a few jumps in her steps. Jasper stayed behind, looking after her as she left.

He laughed a little and said, "Sorry about her. She can be very...enthusiastic."

Elizabet shrugged, "No need to apologize. It's nice having a positive energy." Jasper nodded, "Yeah, well, with my gift, I can confirm that. It's nice to be around her, she's always so happy."

She bit the inside of her lip and nodded. Jasper scratched the back of his head, "Well, I'll let you nap. See ya."

"Bye." She waved. Jasper nodded and turned, leaving her to her thoughts.

She sighed to herself and laid down, slowly falling asleep. It took a moment, but she was about to drift off into a peaceful rest.

Elizabet woke a while later, getting up to a wonderful smell. She cocked her head and got out of the bed, stretching before making her way to the kitchen. Esme was behind the counter whipping up some food for her to eat.

She smiled softly as Esme turned around, giving her the same, warm smile Elizabet had given her. "How did you sleep?" She asked.

Elizabet shrugged, "Great."

Esme nodded to the food, "I thought you might be hungry. It gives me an excuse to use the kitchen."

Elizabet sat at a stool and she pushed the plate of food over to her. She smiled and thanked her as she ate. Soon, Alice and Jasper had joined her, Rosalie being dragged in by Alice as well. "Are you ready?" Alice squeaked.

Elizabet nodded with a laugh, "Yes, I'm ready. Just let me wash my plate."

In a second, the plate had been snatched from the counter and cleaned, placed back in its place in the cabinet. Alice came back to stand next to her again, "There, clean, let's go!"

She dragged her from her stool and stuffed Elizabet in the car in the garage. It happened so fast her head began to spin. Rosalie and Alice were sitting in the front seat, Alice in the driver's side. Rosalie asked, "Why do you need me again?"

"More opinions. C'mon, Rose. Perk up. It'll be fun!" Alice told her. Rosalie sighed and shrugged, looking forward as Alice began driving, stomping on the gas pedal harder than she should have. In no time, the four ended up in the front of the mall.

Elizabet looked up with a smile. It had been ages since she'd been in a mall. "First time?" Jasper asked. Elizabet looked at him and shook her head, "No, I haven't been to a mall in forever."

Jasper smiled, "Well, then, we should have fun." She smiled and they both walked in, following the two ladies in front. Alice walked in, stars in her eyes as she looked around at all the shops she could shop from.

She walked over to Elizabet, hooking her arm with hers and dragging her off to a store. Alice dragged her around, showing off the clothes on the racks that could be hers. Alice showed her cardigans, flannels (that she actually approved of), a few sweaters, dresses, skirts, and even more. By the time they finally left the first store, Elizabet thought she was all set, but she was being pulled to another one in no time.

"Alice, is it really necessary to have more clothes?" Elizabet questioned her, "I mean, we have more clothes already than would usually necessary."

Alice chuckled, "You're funny. Let's go." Alice led them all back to the car and Elizabet smiled, "Okay, no more shopping then."

Alice laughed a little and said, "We're just putting the bags we already have in the car so we don't have to keep carrying them around, silly. There are way more shops to look at."

Elizabet sighed, already ready to get back to the Cullens house. Jasper felt the slight exasperation coming off of her and gave a small sympathizing chuckle before giving her a little more calm than she had. Elizabet silently thanked him with a smile as she was dragged away by Alice once again.
