Alex headed home, finding that Charlie and Bella had already come and were eating dinner at the table.
"Hey guys, I'm back!" Alex said as he walked towards the dining table.
"Welcome home, Alex," Charlie said as he lifted his head and looked at his son.
"How did it go? Did you have fun with your friends?" Charlie asked as he looked at Alex, who grabbed a chair and sat next to the table.
"Yeah, was super nice. I haven't gone to anyone's house since I came here to Forks and it brought back memories of Phoenix." Alex said as he smiled at the man who was still in his police outfit.
"What about you, Dad? Is there anything interesting at work?" Alex asked Charlie.
Charlie shook his head and replied, his tone was somber but you could detect hints of anger throughout his voice.
"No, we are still investigating the fire case that happened a few days ago downtown. We still haven't found anything, and from the looks of it, even the hospital was unable to find any traces of DNA, so it seems like the criminal is going to go scot-free."
The longer he talked, the more angry Charlie seemed to be with the entire situation.
Alex stood there frozen for a moment and then gave a twitching smile as he tried to comfort his father.
"It's ok Dad, no need to get so pent up over it," Alex said though in his head he was thinking something else.
'Could you not try too hard now, Dad? I don't really want to be caught.'
The rest of the night went by peacefully as Alex, Charlie, and Bella made small talk with each other.
Unlike the first night, they had together in Forks, they had gotten used to each other's presence already and the conversation flowed much more easily.
Alex mainly started the conversations, but once that was done, Bella and Charlie had no problem expressing their own thoughts.
Finally, it was night time and Alex was in his room, looking outside the window as he watched the clouds converge and pass by.
'Even though it's nighttime, I can see the cloud shapes as clearly as day. Even the stars which I was almost never able to see when I lived in a large city, both in Phoenix and in my past life' Alex thought.
'The next part of the plot only begins a month from now in the books at least, so I don't have any idea if anything happens during this month though nothing did happen during the books, I still need to be on guard.' Alex thought as he opened the window and hopped out onto the roof of the house.
'I've made quite a lot of mistakes since I was transmigrated here. It doesn't really feel correct to call it a reincarnation anymore, considering all the memory bullshit going on,' Alex thought as he looked at the moon.
*Prshttt*
Hearing the sound of bushes and leaves being disturbed, Alex turned his head quickly towards the side, only to see Alice and Edward.
"What the, what are you guys doing here at one in the morning?" Alex whispered, knowing they could hear him perfectly with their enhanced senses.
Alice and Edward quickly and effortlessly climbed onto the roof.
Alice sat next to Alex while Edward stood to the side.
"So you also don't need sleep huh, we're different but also quite the same" Alice whispered as she sat next to Alex and faced him.
"Yes, I don't need sleep, now would you please explain what you're both doing here? In the middle of the night?" Alex whispered back as he motioned to Edward and back to Alice.
Alice smiled awkwardly as she finally told her reason.
"So, I know that you know about the mate thing and Edward really wanted to see Bella but I decided to accompany him here in case you decided that he should rather see the back of a tree trunk," Alice said as she motioned to Edward who was behind her.
Edward just stood there frozen as he didn't move or breathe.
Alex just looked at the two disco vampires.
His thoughts froze as he looked at the two until a second later when he finally responded.
"So you came here because you thought it was a good idea to let your brother come here and spy on my sister's sleep? Is what I'm hearing correct? Because it really isn't making a lot of sense in my head right now, Alice."
Alice maintained that awkward smile, though it seemed to twitch as she nodded wordlessly.
"Right, and you saw me punch him through a tree in your visions, right?" Alex asked Alice, who nodded once more.
"Ok, first of all, there is no way I'm allowing it to happen, Edward. You need to know your limits and watching someone sleep is way over the line. You can just talk to her in the morning at school." Alex said to Edward and then turned to Alice.
'How the hell was she able to see me in her visions if I'm another race entirely? She should only be able to see people who had at one point shared the same race as her, so humans and cold ones only. This was also the reason she couldn't see Bella's future when she went to La Push' Alex thought as he stared at Alice for a moment.
"You're able to see me in your visions?" Alex decided that the best way to find out was to ask and so he did just that.
Alice stood still for a moment and then shook her head.
"No, I just saw Edward at your house, or at least near your house with about ten trees broken around him. And so I simply deducted that the only one capable of that was you." Alice said as she faced Alex who nodded and then froze once more.
"Your vision doesn't allow you to see me, so how were you able to know about the event where Bella gets stabbed?" Alex asked once more.
Alice just shrugged her shoulders and replied to him.
"I just read Edward's lips, he said your name so I figured the white mist killing people should be you," Alice said once more.
