ALICE'S POV

I looked at Bella, thinking about whether I should tell her or not. She wanted to know, but I didn't want to upset her. She was waiting for me to tell her, smiling at me.

"Are you sure about this, Bella?"

Bella shook her head, and I knew she wanted to know.

"Alice, if you don't want to talk about it, I don't mind. I was just curious. If it's going to upset you, we don't need to talk about it."

"It's not me, that I'm worried about."

Bella sighed, and grabbed my hand. I was amazed that she was really OK with everything. She didn't say anything when I saw Bret trying to decide what to wear. She just said Angela would be doing the same.

"Don't worry about me, pixie."

Pixie?

I looked at her, and she blushed. She's so cute when she's embarrassed! I didn't mind the nickname, I would have to come up with one for her though. Hm.................

"Pixie? Better than munchkin. Emmett thinks it's funny to tease me."

Bella didn't say anything, and looked away. I tugged on her hand, and she looked at me.

"Sorry, I just-"

"Stop. I don't mind. Just don't call me shortie or munchkin. I don't mind, kitty."

I think it's cute, and .......... Yeah, she's embarrassed.

"I should've been expecting that."

I shook my head, trying not to laugh at the look on her face. She was so surprised when I kissed her, but I could see that she wanted to.

"Yes, you should. But, seriously Bella, are you sure? I'll tell you, but I ......... It's not a pleasant story."

We were side by side, and I could tell she wasn't going to back down.

"I'm sure, Alice. Will I get upset? If it involves you being hurt, then yes I will. But, if it's going to upset you we can talk about something else."

If that's the case, she's going to be more than upset ........... Oh boy, this is not going to end well.

"I was born in 1901. I had my ability when I was human and people didn't like it. They thought something wasn't right. So, my parents decided to do something about, I-"

"Please tell me that you don't mean what I think you do......."

I could see what she was considering, and nodded. Bella got upset, and I wrapped my arm around her. Being around her meant I was OK with this. She leaned in, and I got really see how upset she really was.

"B......... But, there's nothing wrong with what you can do. You can't control it."

"They didn't see it like that, kitty."

"I know, I just............."

I kissed the top of her head, and she sat up. This really upset her. Whoa, she must really care about me.

"I know. Are you OK?"

She nodded, and I continued.

"Now, I don't remember anything before I was changed. I don't know why, but I don't. Carlisle helped me find out more. A vampire, James, was after me. One of the doctors there knew he was after me, and changed me. James killed him for it. James was caught by the volturi for what he did and killed. They enforce the laws we have to live by. He had a few others with him, but they were never found."
