Disclaimer: We – that is, Jess and I – do not own Twilight or any of its characters. Unfortunately. So yeah, this is our first fan fic together, though Jess has already submitted some of her own, while I haven't. Yay, this is my first submission ever!
Tiny bitty problem: Jess doesn't know I'm uploading this. Sowwy Jeeess – doggy face – but I just couldn't resist the temptation. I had to show the world our awesome fan fic. So world, enjoy.
'What do you think about this one?' Alice asked while handing her a blue tight shirt into the dressing room. Bella took hold of the shirt and examined it. She gasped.
'I can't wear this!' she exclaimed drawing the curtains open to face her. Alice snorted.
'Of course you can, silly,' she replied closing the curtains again, 'You're a vampire, any thing looks great on you.'
'Shh!' Bella snapped angrily, popping her head out, 'Do you really want everyone to hear you?'
Alice's laugh chimed through the shop, drawing every man's attention. Jasper, who was talking with Edward at the shop's front, glanced at her quizzically, and nudged Edward's ribs, as Bella stepped out of the dressing room, wearing the tight shirt Alice had given her and a short black skirt. Edward gasped.
Oh… my… god… She's so goddamn hot.
Look at that ass!
The thoughts the men in the shop were having about her girlfriend made Edward furious. A growl raised in his chest as he strode angrily to Bella's side but before he could say anything two scandalous images of Bella naked in someone else's bed flashed in front of his eyes. He put a protective arm around Bella and the girl looked up at him, confused. He shook his head and glared at the two men from over his shoulder. This time they got the hint and hurried to the other end of the aisle.
He turned his attention back to Bella, who looked down at her clothes with disgust.
'I can't wear these,' she wailed, pouting with her hands on her hips. He looked at her up and down and realized he had never seen her looking so…sexy.
He pressed his lips against hers and took her cold face between his hands, forcing her to look into his eyes.
'You look absolutely…' He glanced down once more before finding the right word, 'Breathtaking.'
Bella giggled and gently pushed him away. Edward sighed and examined her one last time before whispering softly into her ear.
'If you are not taking those I'm gonna have to buy them for you,' he paused before adding, 'You'd better get changed before I see myself forced to kill those men'. He gestured to the two men staring at Bella with pure desire in their eyes and she ducked quickly into the dressing room. Alice followed with a pile of clothes in her arms.
'There is no way I'm trying all of those on,' Bella warned her, but Alice ignored her and started trying on clothes at human speed. That was why it took a moment for Bella to realize Alice had frozen. Her eyes were glazed and her expression absent - she was having a vision. She started trembling violently and made a terrifying display of all her teeth before snapping back to reality. She nearly fell but Bella was quicker and held her up, hugging her.
'What was that all about?' she asked her softly. Alice turned her face and didn't meet her gaze.
'Nothing, nothing at all.'
'Oh, no,' Bella moaned. She knew what this meant.
'What did you see Alice? Tell me,' she said firmly, but when she didn't get any response she added softly 'Please?'
Alice looked up and sighed. She had lost this battle.
'I saw Edward, and – this girl, I don't know who she was, but I'm dead sure she was a vampire,' she paused and made a face as if remembering something terribly disgusting, 'They were… kissing,'
The last word came out in a bare whisper, low enough for only Bella to hear. Bella froze, and she tightened her grip around Alice's wrists.
Alice shook her head emphatically.
'It's probably nothing Bella, we don't even know who she is, and I'm sure Edward doesn't know her either.'
But Bella wasn't listening. She was shaking slightly.
'Who did the move?' she asked hoarsely.
'She did,' Alice answered reassuringly. She closed her eyes and a tiny smile played with her lips, 'And he pushed her away,' she added. Bella relaxed a bit, and let go of Alice. She finished dressing slowly and waited for Alice to put on her clothes again. Neither of them was in the shopping mood any longer.
Alice drew the curtains open and moved aside so Bella could get out first. She thanked her with a smile, but her thoughts were somewhere else. Could Edward possibly betray her? He had always been faithful to her, honest, true... But maybe, since she became a vampire only some months ago, she had been transformed in front of his eyes. She was no longer warm and soft as she had once been, but hard and cold as the frozen streets in winter. And most important – she had no blood inside her anymore. Her sweet, human smell had been swept away by the wind as soon as the vampire venom stopped her heart. Edward had assured her, though, her vampire smell was still sweet and delicious, but in another way. Terror sprang in Bella's inside. Had he lied to her? Had he stopped loving her that terrible day in which her human life had ended?
But he pushed her away, the thought appeared in Bella's mind as the savior of her passionate love, he chose me over... her.
Now the question was different. Who was this new vampire?
'Alice?' Bella asked as her friend took out her credit card and handed it to the cashier. Alice hummed as a sign of attention, 'Are there... vampires, here in Port Angeles? Or new vampires visiting Forks these days?'
Alice caught the double meaning of her words.
'Bella,' she called sweetly as she tilted her head to one side and smiled empathically, 'you have nothing to worry. As far as I know, no new vampires have arrived at Forks, and the only vampires in Port Angeles are us and the boys.'
'As far as you know?' Bella repeated incredulously. Alice sighed and placed her hand on her forehead.
'Don't worry, Bella,' Alice said, exasperated. She shook her head slightly and smiled, 'You know Edward would never do that, just as I do. I've known him for around ninety years.'
Bella stared at the floor, giving up.
'Cheer up,' Alice said as she took the handful of bags with Bella's brand new clothes inside, 'Not all of my visions come true. Remember when I saw Rosalie hugging you in your graduation?'
How could she ever forget that episode? When she finally thought things between her and Rosalie were improving, she messed everything up. In Alice's vision, Bella had been standing so shocked to see Rosalie getting near to hug her she couldn't move. But once she was informed by Alice of what would come, Bella gave a step forward to Rosalie, tripping over and spilling her glass of wine on her new dress. Since that moment, Bella had the impression Rosalie hated her even much more than what she had when Edward transformed her.
Bella snorted. She realized Alice was trying to cheer her up and make her think of something happier than her boyfriend betraying her.
Smiling, she took one of the bags and walked to the exit with Alice on her heels, trying to see over the bags and packages in her arms.
Edward and Jasper joined them as they walked to the stairs. Jasper chuckled as he saw Alice and hurried to her side to help her, while Edward surrounded Bella with his arms and kissed her. His girlfriend rested her head on his cold, hard chest, and immediately discarded the idea that her precious angel would absolutely ever cause her such pain.
'So?' Edward said after a moment, 'Which of these beautiful clothes are you going to wear tomorrow night?'
'Tomorrow night?' Bella repeated, dazzled by his sweet breath and velvet voice.
'Yeah. Do you have any plans made that you cannot undo, or can I take you to Port Angeles for dinner?'
'No plans,' she assured him quickly, 'you can take me to dinner.'
So excited she was that she didn't even ask him why he was taking her to dinner if they didn't even eat human food.
Edward smiled warmly at her and pressed his cold lips against hers once again. If she still had a heart, Bella thought, it would have been hammering at top speed from the nerves. Only once Edward had taken her to dinner formally somewhere, and it had been the night in which he had told her he would, though against his will, transform her into a vampire. What would Edward tell her now?
As she day-dreamed and created numerous fantasies about her boyfriend and her in a luxurious restaurant in Paris, Alice coughed significantly and looked at both of them with her eyebrow raised.
Edward chuckled and took Bella by her hand to lead her through the crowd of people struggling to move. Alice and Jasper followed them silently.
Are you planning to do what I think you'll do, Edward?
I approve of her and you know it, but I think you're making a rash decision.
Edward glanced at them over his shoulder and narrowed his eyes, not in anger but in a way that his sister and brother understood he wouldn't change his mind. Bella was the right woman for him. He loved her more than anything, and more than anything he wanted her to be with him the rest of his life.
Alice, on the other hand, was concerned. She loved Bella too, and she would be more than happy to take her as a sister, but something about Edward's decision was troubling her. She couldn't well tell him about her vision – but it wouldn't be right if her vision happened while Edward and Bella were engaged. It could end their relationship forever, and Bella would regret ever having been transformed into a vampire.
She stared at Jasper pleadingly, but said nothing.
'It's fine,' he whispered in her ear, 'Bella and Edward are deeply in love with each other.'
Alice gazed at the floor. They might be in love, but the strange vampire in her vision would certainly be a catastrophe. All of a sudden a wave of calmness swept into her body and mind, and worried no more. After all, Edward had pushed the vampire apart. Sighing, she surrounded Jasper's back with her arm and replaced the thought of the vision with a new dress in a store which would absolutely fit her dearest sister-to-be.
Jasper smiled.
A/n (Vickii) : For the less intelligent, Jasper thought Alice was worried about Bells and Eddy getting married, so he calmed her down and that's why he smiled, because he knew nothing about the terrifying vision (mwahah). And for the more intelligent, REVIEW. Pwease:3
