Er... what?

[ballerina_envy]

Alice Cullen had only just kissed Jasper goodbye and shut the door to the clan's house when she remembered she’d forgotten her keys. Letting out an impatient huff, she turned about with grace that would make a ballerina jealous and came face-to-face with a door that was not her own.

For a moment, she stood in silence, wondering what this abrupt flip

Bella is walking through the entrance hall on her way to the kitchen. Two words had been monopolizing her mind for the last hour: "very" and "hungry." But on her way there, out of the corner of her eye, she spots a very pale person standing just inside the door.

A very familliar person.

Whirling around, Bella's jaw drops and she lets out an excited squeal, "Alice!"

The sound of Bella's voice is sweeter than any music in the world to Alice's ears. She runs to her friend and envelops her in a close hug. When she's pulled away, Alice holds Bella at arms length, allowing her confusion and fear to show through.

"Bella...what's going on? I was just leaving the house and then I was here...?"

Now that she has seen that Bella is ok, Alice allows herself to worry about the bigger picture, namely her random teleportation to...wherever this place is.

"I know, I know!" Bella said just as exctiedly, but in a more happier way, "It happened to Edward, Jacob, and I, too. No one knows why or how."

She shrugged, trying to seem optimistic. Maybe if she was upbeat, Alice would not worry so much, "It's a mystery!"

Sadly, she couldn't help but feel sorry for her friend. It was really a crime that Jasper hadn't show up with her.

"Someone said my name?" Jacob follows the sound of Bella's voice and smiles, then frowns in confusion. Edward's sister is here. Shit, what's her name, what's her name. Damnit, he should really pay better attention to these things -- Alice! That's the one. Rosalie's the scary blonde one. Right. He smiles again, though still rather obviously confused.

With the arrival of Jacob, Alice takes several graceful steps back from the doorway, pulling away from the werewolf's stench.

"Hello, Jacob." Alice says coldly, trying very hard to remain civil for Bella's sake. This was not the place or time to get into something with the young werewolf.

"...hi." Okay, so, apparently, being human again doesn't change the fact that he and vampires don't mix. Alright then, we'll just stand behind Bella and not do much. "Have you seen Edward yet? He's here, too." And he can't help but grin at the thought of Edward. Damn you, imprints, you suck.

Alice narrows her eyes with confusion regarding Jacob's strange reaction to her. Of course...perhaps it's not so much that his reaction is strange...most likely it's simply her natural aversion to the Black kid. Still, that didn't explain the fact that Jacob had smiled when he mentioned Edward's name. Somehow that just didn't seem right.

Totally bewildered, Alice glances from Bella to Jacob and back to Bella once more.

"Would somebody tell me what's going on?"

[cereal_suits_me]

Bella watched the wannabe-conversation pass between her two friends and then shakes her head, "Could you be any more specific about what you want to know about, Alice?"

Running a hand through her hair, Bella chuckled, "A lots happened here without you."

Taking a step foward, she reaches for Alice's hand to lead her in to the mansion. Maybe they can chat in the kitchen, or the living room. Bella'd have to get something to snack on first, but then she'd be up for any questions that the girl could possibly throw at her.

Before she could respond, Bella had grabbed her hand and was leading her into the large house before her. All she could really do was follow, and she did, making a conscious effort not to breathe when she got close to Jacob. His mere present caused the hairs on the back of her neck to stand on end and she had to fight the urge to express her distaste more vocally. She might as well be civil for the time being, until she had a better grasp of what was going on, and just what sort of things had occurred in her absence.
