In Her Arms.

Chapter Three.

"She's been smirking in the window of the door since you said that you love her." My mother commented smirking at a grinning Alice in the door. 

"What? No. Why didn't you say anything?" I mumbled trying not to let Alice hear. 

"Causse it's funny Bella." She retorted. Having no shame in flaunting my love for Alice.

"No, it's not!" I sighed and put my head in my hands. I felt my mum get off the bed and another person get on. I looked through a gap between my fingers and nearly died. Alice sat in front of me.

"Bella," Alice said softly and I looked up at her. "Do you really love me?"

"Yes. Of course. I've been in love with you for a long time, it just took me a while to realise it."

"When did you realise it?"

"Today. Before I phased. It was like all gravity shifted. I would do anything, be anyone you needed. A friend, a sister, anything. It wasn't gravity keeping me here anymore, it's you. I realised it's been like that for a long time. Ever since I first saw you. And I know you're with Jasper - " She cut me off by kissing me softly. I grinned and kissed her back.

"Jasper is just my friend. It's all he's ever been. He understands me. So we played the part, for schools and stuff." She said once she pulled away from me. "It's always been you." She whispered. I grinned and kissed her again, my hands wrapping themselves around her waist. Her hands entangled in my hair. I smiled and pulled away after a moment or three and joined our foreheads. I just looked into her eyes for a long time. Studying her face. Etching her into my memory. I rubbed my nose against her and we both giggled.

"Awe!! You guys are so adorable!" I heard Angela squeal. I looked at her. I smiled and pulled away from Alice so we were sat facing each other. Alice then moved to my side furthest away from the door and snuggled into me, wrapping her arms around my waist. 

"How long have you been there?"

"Since your mother left. I met her on the way out. I wasn't going to come in but your mothers all but shoved me through the door. I'm surprised you didn't hear me."

"Mothers?"

"Yeah. Mrs Cullen opened the door for me while your mum manhandled me into the room."

"Er... Alice?" I looked down to Alice and she was smiling, her eyes were glazed over and I knew she was having a vision. I motioned for Angela to sit on the bed in front of us as I waited to Alice to come back to us. This was a long one.

"Is she alright?" Angela asked concerned, I just smiled and nodded.

"Just give her a moment," I said smiling and Alice gasped and shook her head. "Are you okay Alice? What was it?"

"It's okay Bella." She smiled and I grinned and we both faced Angela. 

"Okay. Don't freak out okay? But we have some things to tell you that you can't tell anyone." Alice said and Angela nodded. She was so confused.

"I won't. You don't have to tell me."

"I know. And that's exactly why we're going to. I'm a vampire Angela. My whole family is. We are vegetarian vampires though. We only feed from animals. It's what makes our eyes golden. I can see the future. That's why my eyes glaze over and I stare off into space sometimes. Edward can read minds, except for Bella's. We still aren't sure why yet. Jasper is an Empath. He can influence emotions and he can feel what other people are feeling. Emmett is stronger than the regular vampire. Rosalie is more beautiful than other vampires."

"Except you." I butted in. Alice looked at me and rolled her eyes.

"Don't let Rose hear you say that. Esme kept her mother like instincts and is more caring than normal vampires. Carlisle has the ultimate self-control. He's always wanted to be a doctor. He cares for humans and has no desire to feed from them. Edward is also faster than normal vampire's."
