I cannot wait until winter break. I'm am going to write every waking moment that I have, just for you! Also, if you haven't checked out my other story A New Beginning you should! Let's get to the story...

***

"Oh. My. God." I couldn't believe my eyes. Was I hallucinating? Was I delusional? Was this one of my dreams? "What are you doing here?"

"Oh, Bella," Alice rushed to me and threw her arms around my waist. She was as hard as a rock, and that was one thing that I had forgotten. Even if she was so small, it was like slamming into a brick wall at full force.

There was a sigh in front of us. "You see, Alice? I told you she was still alive. Look at her, she is perfectly fine." I looked up and saw Rosalie. She was gazing back at me with her golden eyes. "Bella, Alice thought that something terrible happened to you." Her tone suggested that she either doubted that something bad had happened to me or that she didn't care at all about. Maybe it was a combination of the two. Rosalie never really did like me; or if she did like me, she was good at acting as if she hated me.

This was really happening.

"I'm fine," I told her, then averting my eyes to Alice, who had gone back to her place next to Rosalie. I could hardly contain my excitement to see them. "Oh, I'm so glad you're here!"

Alice rushed forward again and hugged me. She was overjoyed to see me, too. "May we come inside?"

"Of course," I said, grabbing my keys out and unlocking the door. "Come in."

Alice danced right through the front door but Rosalie stayed on the porch, looking fairly out of her element. She looked the same as she did when I last saw her. Her blonde hair was curled around her face and she was wearing designer clothes, just like Alice was. She was tall, but that could be from the three inch black heels that she managed to walk in. Lucky her. She could wear those things and not end up falling down a flight of stairs. After a brief moment, she entered my house. She quickly found herself by Alice's side as I shut the door.

Alice smiled and looked around the house like it belonged to someone important. "It's been awhile since I've been here," she said, marveled.

"I've never stepped foot inside this house, let alone see it from the outside," Rosalie muttered.

Alice turned to face her sister. "Well, maybe if you had just put your differences aside then you could have tried to be friends with Bella. But, oh, no! You had to be the mean one and push her to the side. After all, she was Edward's—"

She stopped and turned to me. "I'm sorry," she apologized. "Forget I said anything."

I wished that Jacob were here right now. But, having a human, two vampires, and a werewolf under one roof was probably not the best idea. Someone would end up hurt, and it would most likely be me. "No, it's okay. I'm over that," I told her honestly. "I'm actually dating someone as of the moment."

I walked pasted Alice and Rosalie and into the kitchen. I was parched and desperately needed a drink. I was about to offer them a drink to when I remembered that the only thing they drink is blood. That meant I had to be very careful.

Alice rushed into a conversation. "Seriously? Who is it? Do I know him?" She was smiling, which meant she was happy for me. I sighed in relief.

Rosalie walked into the kitchen as well, overhearing, and wanting to interrupt. Her high heels clunked against the wooden floor. "Please tell me it's not Mike Newton," she said in disgust.

I laughed a little. "No, it's not him."

Alice squealed with joy. "This is amazing. We just got here a few minutes ago after being gone for so long and it feels like we never left…maybe we should go talk on the couch?" she suggested.

Another few minutes later, we were all in the living room. Alice and I were on the ends of the couch as Rosalie stood. Alice leaned in. "She just needs to hunt, that's all. I do to but, we'll get to that later. I have to tell you about my visions. They were the reason I came here in the first place, why we came here."

"Go ahead," I rushed her.

Alice situated herself against a pillow and begun. "It all started while ago but I didn't think anything of it. Futures change all the time, but yours would just disappear on me. Out of the blue…it was gone! I didn't know what to think of it because nothing like that had ever happened to me before. Your future would weave in and out, disappear and then come back."—she paused to take a breath—"I kept it to myself for awhile, I was actually starting to think that there was something wrong with me, but I knew something had to be up."

Rosalie interrupted before Alice could finish. "What is that horrid smell?" she wrinkled up her nose. "I don't think that I came even breathe in here anymore. It's disgusting" Rosalie turned to meet my eyes. "What is that?"

I opened my mouth but no words came out. It's probably just my boyfriend, no worries, I thought to myself. That would be another conversation.

"Oh, that doesn't matter," Alice snapped. "Let me finish. Where was I? Oh, I remember, your future. I was so worried when your future disappeared the last time because it never came back. I thought that you might be dead, or something bad had happened. I had come see if you were okay…and that's how we ended up here.

Rosalie huffed. "Yeah, and you dragged me all the way out here with you."

Alice rolled her eyes. "You did agree to come with me. I gave you an option. You act like I drugged you and strapped you to the roof of a car to get you here. You were all more than willing to come and you know that. Don't put on a show, Rosalie, we are not in a play," she said, then added, "If you were nice than maybe you wouldn't be so miserable."

"I'm not miserable. This town is miserable! I don't want to be here anymore, I'm already sick of it," Rosalie spat out.

Their bickering went of for sometime. I was in no place to interupt them, though. I was going to wait until they were done.

I would have preferred it if it was just Alice who had come. I didn't even know why Rosalie came with her sister since she practically hated me. "How long are you staying?" I asked Alice, trying to ignore Rosalie and her negativity.

"Well, now that I know that you are safe, I'm sure I can stay for a visit. A very long visit," she laughed. "We have a lot to catch up on. And, Plus, I don't have anywhere to be. Jasper and Emmett are in South America, so I have some tie on my hands. I'm sure Rosalie would love to stay as well."

Our eyes focused on Rosalie. "I guess I could do some shopping," she concluded. "There are a few shops around here that I liked, so I'm sure I can find something to do with my time."

Alice popped her head up. "That is if you don't mind us staying."

"Of course not! I'm glad you're here." It was the truth.

In the few moments that passed, there was a cold silence. Alice broke it with her bubbly voice. "I hope you don't mind if we stay at our place…what was our house…you know, before everything happened. We'll stay out of your hair." She leaned in and smiled. "Let you go back to a normal life."

I laughed out loud. "Normal? I wish things could be normal. Mythical creatures seem to pop up everywhere I go."

Her brows furrowed. "What do you mean by that?"

For a split second, I thought that I might be betraying Jacob if I told Alice and Rosalie what he was. Would I be betraying them? Telling them his secret. How would they view it? It hardly mattered at the moment. After all, Jacob was the one who told me about that Cullens when we first met at the beach. But, in his defense, he didn't know anything about vampires or werewolves at that specific time. He had thought they were only stories.

"Do you know Jacob Black? Ephraim Black? I suppose you don't, I don't believe you were with Carlisle at the time…I think Rosalie was, though."

"Yes, I remember," she acknowledged. "We had...have a treaty with them. Don't really need it now…"

"Oh, I know now. I've heard all of this from Carlisle. So you go on with what you were saying." Alice seemed interested in what I had to say.

I sighed at what would come next. I hoped Jacob wouldn't be mad at me. "Ephraim Black is Jacob's great-grandfather and Jacob is sort of a werewolf," I explained. I kept it simple.

Alice stood up with a horror stricken look on her face. I didn't bother looking over my shoulder to see what Rosalie's expression was. "Bella!" Alice shrieked. "No! Do you know how dangerous that is? This is crazy. We leave and you have to go find another monster to be around."

"Dangerous? I don't think they are any more dangerous than vampires are," I muttered. "At least I haven't almost died yet. Do you really think anything could be more dangerous than what happened with James? I could have died then…or worse."

She shook her head. "Okay, I guess I can't judge."

"Jacob and me are dating," I blurted out. "I love him."

Both girls' eyes bulged. Alice took a deep breath. "Not judging," she reminded herself. "Okay, so you are dating a werewolf. Is that everything?"

I thought for a moment. "There is one tiny detail that I left out," I hinted. She nodded for me to proceed. "Victoria is back and she wants to kill me. Jacob and the other werewolves are protecting me from her but, she keeps coming back. She's hunting me."

"Oh, dear, God!" Rosalie gasped. She turned to Alice and said, "What are we going to do?"

Alice's focus didn't leave me. "This is an unfortunate event. Goodness, why would she come back?"

"James was her mate. She got pissed when Edward killed him and now she wants revenge for his death. A mate for a mate. I don't think she has any clue about what happened though," I told them. "She's been here for awhile now, just waiting for the right time to get me alone." Her name made me cringe.

We all fell silent.

Alice spoke up. "Then we have to stay and help get rid of her," she decided, examining the situation I was in.

"I'd be grateful," I told her.

Rosalie groaned. "I suppose we have to meet these wolves then. Oh, goody!"

Her sarcasm was not appreciated. I did love the werewolves; I loved them for everything that they were doing for me. They were keeping me alive, protecting me. They didn't have to but they were willing to. I felt like I needed to defend them. "I'm sure they will be thrilled to meet you, too, Rosalie," I snapped.

"Rose, can't you be a little more respectful?" Alice asked.

She rolled her eyes. "I can try."

All of our eyes averted to the door when I came swinging open. Alice's stance became alerted, looking like she was about to pounce on the intruder. The weight was taken off my chest when I saw that it was only Jacob who walked through the door. Normally, I would have run over to him and hugged him like there was no tomorrow, but in this case, I didn't. I stood in my place and waited for him to speak. He would be mad, I knew it. He would wonder why I would be associating with a Cullen when they hurt me in the first place. There would be endless questions as to why they were here, but in the end, it wouldn't matter. As long as Jacob was by my side, there was nothing to worry about.

I needed to update so I whipped this one together over two days so I'm sorry if there is any mistakes. It is really hard to balance out writing and all my school work. I'm not even joking when I say that I get around seven to eight hours of homework each night. I hope the chapter is good. The next chapter will be more in depth, I promise! Our Jacob will be more involved!
