“And, then he-”

Alice had been telling about something silly Emmett had done, when she stopped talking. I looked at her, and her eyes were glazed over.

I took her hand, rubbing the back of it as I waited for it finish.

“What is it?”

She smiled, looking at me.

“It looks like Carlisle has found something about you being a werecat.”

I stood up, my parents were asleep, and we were sitting in my room.

“OK, should we go over or wait until tomorrow?”

“Now is OK, unless you want to get some rest.”

I shook my head, as she stood up.

“No, I’m OK. Come on.”

We walked to her house, and Alice called Carlisle.

“I seen you find something about Bella being a werecat.”

“Yes, from what you said and what I was able to find, it seems when James and Edward bit you it affected the wolf gene changing it.”

I looked at him, and at Alice.

“Really?”

He nodded, seeing I was confused.

“Yes, you would’ve been a wolf if that hadn’t happened.”

So, if that hadn’t happened I’d be a wolf, great. But, it made sense. Well, it did to me anyway.

“That makes sense. And it explains why you smell different to them.”

I looked at Alice, as she spoke. She was right, it explained the other differences as well.

“Yes, well I’m sure Bella is tired.”

We said good night, and I was dragged back to my house.

Alice was gone the next morning, and I quickly got ready, going downstairs. My mom was in the kitchen and smiled when she seen me.

“Morning, Bella. It’s nice Alice is back, isn’t it?”

I smiled at her, I knew they liked her, it was just her brother they had a problem with.

“Yeah, it’s good to see her again.”

“Did you tell her-”

“Of course not, she only got back. I’m not going to tell her that, just yet.”

Mom looked at me, she didn’t know everything and I wanted to keep it that way. Knowing about me, was one thing but I couldn’t tell her about them.

“Good, have you seen him?”

I sat down at the table, with my breakfast.

“Yeah, he understands that I don’t want to get back together with him.”

Mom nodded, she seemed pleased with that. I’d been a mess when they left.

“Good.”

I didn’t want to talk about the whole imprint thing with them. They knew, thanks to Jakes dad. He’d mentioned it to them and then I had to explain. That was awkward.

I went back up to my room, and who did I find there? Alice.

“Hey.”

I smiled, at her. Sitting next to her.

“Hey, I hope I didn’t scare you.”

I shook my head, I’d been distracted so I didn’t hear her.

“Of course not. Werecat remember?”

She shook her head.

“I know you weren’t expecting to see me, Bella.”

She shook her head, as I blushed. I should’ve expected that.

“Yeah, well, what do you want to do today?”

She smiled and I shook my head.

“No, how about we go back to your house for today?”

She nodded, and we left. By then my parents were gone to work so we didn’t have to worry about that.

“Hey, Bella!”

Emmett gave me his usual greeting and once he set me back on my feet, I sat next to Alice on the couch.

“Hey Emmett.”

We smiled at him, and Rosalie walked in.

“Hey.”

We smiled at her, as she sat down next to us.

“Hey, did Carlisle tell you what he found?”

“Yeah, he told us.”

We sat talking for a little while, before Jasper walked down the stairs and out the door. Emmett got up a few minutes after he left and followed him.

I looked at Rosalie after Emmett left.

“He’s been leaving and not telling anyone where he’s going. Emmett and I were talking and Emmett suggested, one of us follow him the next time he went out.”

That made sense, he kept disappearing.

“Where’s Edward?”

Rosalie looked at Alice, and back to me.

“He left after speaking to Jasper not long before you two arrived. I think the two of them are up to something.”

She had a point, even when they met with Jake and the others, they were standing together away from the rest of us.

“Yeah, that makes sense.”

“They know how to avoid my visions so that must be why I can’t see anything.”

We looked at Alice, who looked frustrated. She hated when that happened.

“Yeah, and with Jaspers ability…………”

We both knew what she meant, he’d already tried to influence the imprint.

“He better not try that again.”

Again, we looked at Alice. She was really pissed off about that.

Rosalie and I looked at one another.

Rosalie had to go out, so we went up to Alice’s room. I sat on the bed next to her, smiling at her.

“Do you think Emmett will find anything?”

I shrugged, whatever it was we’d deal with it.

“Whatever it is, we’ll deal with it.”

I put my arm around Alice, and she relaxed. I felt the cat perk up, and I started purring. Alice laughed, and looked up at me.

“What?”

She smiled at me, but didn’t move.

“I like that, that’s all.”

“Hey, can I ask you something?”

We were laying on her bed cuddling, and I wasn’t the only one purring now.

“Bella, you can ask me anything. Now, what is it you’re having trouble deciding?”

This was deliberate, so she wouldn’t see it.

“Well, how do you feel about the whole imprint?”

“Bella, I’ll admit I was shocked. But, I told you that I felt this was before you told me. You’ll only ever imprint on one person and I’m glad that person is me.”

I kissed her, and smiled.

We spent the day in her room, until Emmett got back.

He came up to us, Jasper wasn’t back but I knew he would be soon.

“Did you find anything?”

Emmett looked at Alice, as Rosalie walked in.

“Yes, I did. And we are going to have trouble”
