“What did you find?”

Emmett looked at Alice, who seemed to know what he was going to say.

“He was with Victoria. He was saying something about the two of you.”

So, he was talking about to her because of all of this.

“What were they saying?”

Emmett looked at me.

“He wants you.” He looked at Alice. ”To be with him. No one else.”

Well, that wasn’t anything we didn’t already know.

“Well, that’s never going to happen. And him running to her isn’t going change things.”

So, he goes running to-

My train of though was derailed when Alice looked at me.

“Don’t worry about anything, OK?”

She looked at Emmett, who was standing next to Rosalie.

“Did he mention anything about Bella, being a werecat?”

Emmett nodded, putting his arm around Rosalie.

“Yeah, something about how the two of you are confused.”

I shook my head, this again.

“There’s more.”

The three of us looked at him, Alice looked angry. I think she’s cute when she’s angry, sue me.

“Edward was there.”

Well, that explains why those two are so close all of a sudden, doesn’t it?

“So, they want us dead because of something neither of us can control?”

They all looked at me, as I spoke.

“It looks that way. But, he’s not going to hurt either of my sisters.”

I smiled at Rosalie. We’d never been that close, and for her to say that meant a lot.

We left a little while later, going back to my house. My parents weren’t home, and we went up to my room.

“What do you think he’ll do?”

I shrugged, sitting down on my bed, and Alice sat next to me.

“I’m not sure. But, I think Rosalie is pretty close to ripping his head off.”

Alice nodded, looking at me.

“Yeah, are you OK?”

I looked at her.

“I’m more worried about you. If he tries anything-”

“Don’t worry, I can take care of myself.”

While I didn’t doubt that. I was still worried.

“I don’t doubt that, I’m just worried.”

She smiled at me, taking my hand. The thought of anyone hurting her, made me feel on edge, and I didn’t like it.

“I know, I feel the same way about someone hurting you.”

“Yeah, except you won’t turn into a giant cat if you lose your temper?”

She shook her head, looking out the window.

“No, I won’t. But, whoever messes with you will regret it.”

I looked at her, she wasn’t kidding.

“Hey, how come you always wear long sleeve shirts?”

I looked at Alice, my parents had just gotten home and I had to drag her away. I didn’t want her to see that scar on my chest.

“I like them. Why?”

She shook her head, she got up and where does she go? My closet.

“Bella, you do have other things you can wear. What’s wrong with this?”

She held up a shirt, which she’d had gotten me. It would show the top of the scar.

“I just like long sleeves.”

She shook her head, not believing me.

“Bella, it’s summer. And I know you have a higher temperature then the others. What’s going on?”

I had to remind myself how she knew all of this. I sighed, shaking my head.

Alice sat down next to me, taking my hand.

“Bella, what’s wrong?”

I looked at her, her face full of concern.

“It’s just ………………….”

She squeezed my hand, encouraging me to continue.

“I have a scar from training with Seth, and I didn’t want you to see it.”

“Bella, it’s just a scar. As long as it doesn’t hurt you, I don’t care. OK?”

I looked at her, why had I thought it would bother?

“It’s just-”

“Hey, it’s OK. Can I see?”

I looked at her, and stood up pulling of my top.

Her eyes widened, she’d seen me like this before so that wasn’t why I was nervous.

“Bella, what happened?”

“Training with Seth. He’s small for a wolf, but he’s fast.”

She just looked at it, it started at my collarbone and ended by my hip.

“Does it hurt?”

I shook my head, it wasn’t as bad as it used to be.

“Not anymore.”

I pulled my top back on, leaving the hoodie off. I sat back down, next to her. I don’t know why I was so nervous to show her, she obviously didn’t care.

She put her head on my shoulder, and I put my arm around her. She sat up, looking at the scar.

“Do you mind?”

She wanted to touch it, and I shook my head. She reached out, touching my collarbone lightly. Her touch was so light, it made me flinch.

“Did I hurt you?”

I shook my head. She could never hurt me.

“Of course not. You barely touched it.”

She smiled relieved that she hadn’t hurt me.

“Alice, you could never hurt me.”
