"Oh shush Edward! No one's gonna harm her" Alice suddenly broke the tension as she bounced up from where she was sitting and we stood shocked when she sat on the bed beside her.

"Sorry Bella. My family, especially my brother here, is just being over dramatic. You're perfectly safe here. My name is Alice by the way" She held her hand out. I saw her look of surprise when she touched Alice's cold hard hands but she didn't seem to mind.

How could she say that Bella was safe here when I've already tried killing her, twice for that matter.

"She's not safe here" I tried to argue.

"If it's not safe then why bring me here in the first place?" Bella was the one to answer.

"We couldn't just leave you in the woods!" I almost shouted.

"I meant you could have brought me to a hospital or something but you brought me here"

I ran my hands thru my hair and sighed.

"Good question. I was wondering about that myself" I looked at Carlisle for an answer.

Carlisle was apologetic as he reasoned out "The circumstances that led us to you were quite unusual and I figured that because of that, you may have your own secret to keep. Now I guess we wouldn't be able to know what secret that is because of your lost memories."

Our secret was very important for us so I understood what Carlisle meant. It would be so hard if our secret would be exposed because of something that was uncontrollable like what happened to her.

"Oh don't worry Bella. You can stay here as long as you want" Alice cheerfully announced.

"What?!" Almost everyone in the room exclaimed.

I could feel the monster almost shouting in glee at the opportunity. So many opportunities.... I tried to tone down my mind and focus on the situation.

"Oh come on Edward. Give yourself some credit! You're stronger than you think. You're not going to do anything to harm Bella" The way Alice spoke of her name sounded like they were already best buddies. Then I saw it, the reason why Alice was so confident. I wasn't able to catch this vision earlier. Bella and me lying side by side in the middle of my favorite meadow while the sun casting rainbows in my glittering skin. Bella was looking at me without any fear but such wonder in her eyes and something else that I couldn't seem to grasp. Then the scene changed. Alice had her arms around her and Bella was laughing. She didn't seem to be bothered by Alice's closeness.

"See"

I stood open mouthed as this vision kept playing in my head. The one image that stuck was the one of me and Bella. It was something that I never would have anticipated. How could I even let it lead to something like that? Even if that might be true, how could she choose to be with someone like me? Someone who wants to suck the life out of her?

"C'mon guys! Not again with that silent stuff!" Emmett grumbled. He always hated it when Alice and I had our silent exchange.

"Alright, that's enough. Everybody get out. Bella needs to get some rest." Alice stood up and was gesturing for all of us to go outside.

"Wait! I...uhmm... I appreciate you all doing this for me but... I don't want to be a burden to all of you. I can find someplace to stay..." Bella finally spoke.

"And where do you think you'll be going? You don't have any money." Alice pointed out.

"I can find a way..." she said uncertainly.
