They asked if they could see so we went outside. They stood back, as I phased. They all looked shocked. Edward and Jasper were nowhere to be found.

I went over to Alice, sitting next to her. She smiled down at me.

“You’re bigger than the wolves.”

I looked at Emmett, who was grinning.

“Yeah, she told me she’s faster and stronger to.”

Emmett laughed, looking at his sister.

“Really?”

I knew what was coming but Esme intervened.

“I’m sure Bella is tired. Not tonight Emmett.”

I left a little while later, Alice walked me home. I took her hand, and she smiled.

“What did Rosalie mean?”

She laughed, before she answered.

“Emmett came pretty close to murdering him. Rosalie stopped him. Now, she regrets it.”

I knew how what she meant, he tried to influence the imprint. We both felt it.

“Yeah, I’m sure she is.”

We reached my house. My parents were gone for the night, so we didn’t have to worry about them catching us. Alice went into my room and I went into the bathroom to get changed.

She smiled when she saw me. I sat down next to her, taking her hand.

“I’m glad you came back.”

Alice looked at me, smiling. But I could tell she was upset.

“I couldn’t not come back. When your future disappeared, I had to come back. I was convinced-”

“Hey, it’s OK. That’s stopped now, hasn’t it? You saw earlier on, when I was having trouble deciding something right?”

That made her smile.

“Yeah, but-”

“No, everything will be alright.”

I kissed her, wrapping my arm around her.

“It’s getting late, you should get some sleep.”

I looked down at her. It was late, she was right. I needed to get up early and go see Jake.

“Yeah, you’re right. You wanna stay?”

I know they just got back, but I was imprinted with her.

She must have felt it to.

“That’s the imprint, isn’t it?”

She smiled, and sat back down.

“Yeah, does that bother you?”

She shook her head.

“Of course not. I was afraid you would reject me, and you imprint with me?”

I took her hand, squeezing it.

“I’d never reject you, pixie.”

She looked at me.

“Pixie?”

“It’s cute.”

She shook her head.

“Just don’t call me shortie.”

I shook my head. Emmett knows she hates that, and he still does it.

“No, I don’t know why Emmett does that. You slapped him last time.”

That made her laugh, seeing her hit him was really something.

I yawned, and Alice let go of my hand.

“Come on, you need sleep.”

I lay down, and she lay beside me.

“Bella, are you purring?”

I blushed, looking at her.

“It’s a cat thing. Does it bother you?”

She shook her head, smiling.

“Of course not, just don’t be surprised if you hear it from me.”

I cuddled up beside her, falling asleep.
