I looked at her.

“Yeah, just glad to see you.”

I could see she didn’t believe me. So, I decided to change the subject. She said she was here alone.

“Where’s Jasper?”

She looked away, not answering. Odd, they were always together.

“Alice, is something wrong?”

She wouldn’t answer me, which made me think something was wrong with him.

“Did something happen to him?”

She shook her head, turning to look at me.

“No, it’s nothing like that. He’s fine. It’s just that, we aren’t together anymore.”

Now, that I wasn’t expecting. They always seemed so happy.

“Oh. I’m sorry, Alice.”

She shook her head, looking away.

“It’s OK. You didn’t know. We got into an argument, and I ended it.”

I nodded, looking at her.

“Oh,-”

“Yeah, anyway, tell me more about how you became a werecat.”

I shrugged.

“I started feeling ill, when I was at Seth’s, and I went outside. Next thing I know, I have fur and a tail.”

She looked at me, listening to me.

“Well, you smell better than they do. I thought you’d gotten a cat or something.”

I looked at her, not understanding what she was saying.

“They smell horrible to us.”

I nodded, and she continued.

“So, are there any differences between you and the wolves?”

I smiled, thinking about training with Seth.

“Well, I’m bigger than they are, and as long as I keep phasing I wont age.”

I looked at Alice as she looked around.

She looked at me, catching me staring at her.

“Is everything OK, Bella?”

I looked away.

“Anyway, does the imprint apply to you?”

I looked at her, shocked that she had asked me that.

“What? How do you know about that?”

She shook her head, as if the answer was obvious.

“You know about what happened between us. And the reason we cant go out there.”

Oh yeah, that. I shook my head, how could I have forgotten about that?

I looked at her again.

“Oh yeah, sorry. Why do you ask?”

“You just told me you turn into a giant cat, I have a few questions.”

I just looked at her, not sure how to answer. Alice shook her head, when I didn’t answer.

“Well, does it?” You said there was no other differences.”

I nodded, not looking at her. She cant catch me staring.

“Yeah, it does.”

She didn’t seem surprised, and she took my hand. Something that wasn’t unusual before they left when we would sit together.

“So, how are the others?”

“They will be happy to hear you’re OK. And a little shocked to, but they’ll get over it.”

I nodded, and she squeezed my hand. I could feel the cat (yes I can feel her) relax as I sat next to Alice.

“Yeah.”

“Hey, can I ask you something?”

Alice looked at me.

“Bella, you can ask me anything. Although, it is odd, that I’m having trouble seeing exactly what you want to ask.”

“Well, what happened between you and-”

“I had feelings for someone else, and we argued about it. I ended it.”

She had feelings for someone else?

“Is it Em-”

“No, it is not either of my brothers. No, no one in the family. It doesn’t matter anyway, have you found you’re imprint yet?”

“Alice, of course it matters. Who is it?”

She sighed, shaking her head.

“It doesn’t matter, have you found your imprint?”

I looked away, blushing, not trusting myself to speak. I would have to tell her. I was afraid of how she would react though.

“You have. Who is it?”

I couldn’t lie to her. She would find out eventually, and be upset.

“Promise you wont freak out?”

She made me look at her.

“Bella, you never have to worry about that. I know we left, but that didn’t do anyone any good. I’m sure the others would say the same if they were hear. Who is your imprint?”

I took a deep breath. Strawberries. This made me relax a little.

“It’s you. When I saw you I felt it.”

She just looked at me, shocked.

“Well that explains why you kept staring at me.”

I just looked at her, not sure how to answer that. So, I blushed and looked away.

“It’s OK, Bella. It means I don’t have to worry how you’re going to react to what I’m about to tell you.”

Why would she be worried about how I would react? Sure I was worried about how she would react, but that was different.

“The person who I said I had feelings for. It’s you Bella.”

“Alice, I-”

“He wouldn’t accept how I felt. So, after I explained it, with Emmett’s help he understood.”

Now, I was worried.

“Emmett? Please tell me didn’t try to hurt you…..”

She shook her head.

“Of course not, he just wouldn’t accept it, and started an argument.”

I nodded, and felt the cat relax. Even thinking about someone hurting her, got me worked up.

“So, that’s why you were staring at me then?”

That made me blush.

“Yeah, I just wasn’t sure how you would react. But, I wasn’t expecting this.”

She hadn’t let go of my hand and squeezed it.

“Neither was I. So, how does the whole imprint work then?”

She already knew, but let me explain anyway.

“Well, I’ll be able to hear your thoughts eventually. I’ll be able to sense it you’re in trouble. And you should be able to do the same. But, I’m not sure how that will affect your visions. “

She nodded, smiling at me.

“Well, it seems I cant see you. Maybe that will change though.”

I nodded and I felt the urge to kiss her. I decided that wasn’t the best idea.

“OK, that has changed. Maybe telling me about it changed things.”

What? She saw that? OK, I needed to talk to Jake about this.

“What?”

She laughed, looking at me.

“It seems you are having trouble deciding on something?”

Yeah she saw it.

"Well, -”

She cut me of, kissing me.

“Did that help?”
