Clark Kent sobbed as he looked down at the pale, seemingly lifeless figure before him. It was hard to believe that he had met her only yesterday, he felt like he had known her all his life. He sobbed again as he realized that her eyes would never open again, that he would never see her smile, or grimace as the ever present rain ruined her spiky hair. He pulled her into his arms and cradled her body to his chest, wishing he could join her in death.
"I love you Alice" he said, and that's when the eyes of Alice Cullen sprang open.
Flashback
Clark Kent's foul mood evaporated as soon as he saw his cousin Bella Swan coming to greet him. He didn't need to be picked up from the airport as Bella well knew, but she had insisted on picking him up from the airport anyway, saying they didn't need Charlie asking awkward questions, so here he was walking toward her, a smile breaking out on his face as he embraced his cousin.
"How's my favorite little cousin been?" he asked, and she glared playfully at him; he knew she didn't enjoy being called little, especially seeing as she was six months older than he was, but he just couldn't help teasing his cousin every chance he got.
"I've been good, how've things been in Smallville? Are Aunt Martha and Uncle John alright?"
"Well, let's see⦠Chloe was attacked by a football star that couldn't stay warm, Pete found out my secret, and Lex was almost killed by a jealous ex-girlfriend, so yeah everything's great" he said, and Bella laughed at his tone, because she knew it was just another ordinary few months in Smallville.
They walked to a silver Volvo which was being driven by a guy that looked to be about seventeen with reddish-blonde hair and golden eyes.
"Clark, this is my boyfriend Edward, Edward, my cousin Clark" Bella said, and they shook hands.
"Nice to meet you Clark, Bella's told me a lot about you" Edward said after they had thrown his trunk into the car.
"Not too much I hope" Clark said and Edward laughed.
"Only that you have more plaid than any man on earth. I have a feeling Alice is going to love you, provided she doesn't kill you for your lack of fashion" he said, and Clark laughed; the thought of anyone being able to kill him was hilarious, seeing as only meteor rock can hurt him.
Edward dropped them off at Bella's, saying he had to go meet his family and Clark and Bella walked inside to be greeted by Clark's Uncle, Charlie.
"How are you Clark?" he asked as they sat down to watch a ballgame. Bella had said she had homework to do, so Clark had been left with Charlie.
"I'm good Uncle Charlie, and thanks for letting me stay here"
"No problem you're always welcome here Clark. Besides, I wouldn't want you to be stuck in an empty house for a month" he said.
Clark's parents had decided to spend the next month with Martha's father, seeing as he didn't have long to live due to the cancer that was slowly killing him. Even though Clark's father and grandfather didn't get along very well, Martha still wanted to be there with him, so she and Jonathan had gone, while Clark had decided to go to Forks to spend some time with Bella, since they were both on winter break.
He and Charlie watched the game for a while, before Bella came downstairs, saying they needed to leave. She and Clark were going to have dinner with the Cullen's, since Charlie was going to be over at Billy's and they didn't want to be in the house bored out of their minds and Bella didn't want to have to see Jacob, as things had been strained between them lately.
They took Bella's truck (Clark complained that it was too slow), and they were at the Cullen's house in no time, although it seemed like forever to Clark.
The door was answered by a pale brunette that looked to be about twenty-seven, who introduced herself as Esme. They followed her into an ornate living room where Clark met a large, burly boy named Emmet, a blond-haired girl called Rosalie, a blonde boy named Jasper, an older blonde man named Carlisle, and a little, spiky-haired girl named Alice.
They sat and talked for a bit until dinner was ready. Clark and Bella ate, although he wondered why they were the only ones. However, he didn't press the issue, since he didn't want to appear rude.
"Thanks for dinner Esme, it was great"
"You're welcome Clark, I'm glad you liked it"
They went back into the living room and talked some more before Bella said they had to go, since it was getting late. Clark was a little annoyed with this, as he was enjoying talking with all the Cullen's especially Alice, who had been continuously teasing him about his clothes. If anyone else had he might've been annoyed but he couldn't get upset with Alice. She just had such a bubbly personality that he found infectious, and even when she was teasing him, he knew it was all in fun.
"Clark, clear your schedule for tomorrow. I'm taking you shopping!" she said, and Clark rolled his eyes, but smiled all the same.
"So what did you think of them?" Bella asked as they were on their way home.
"They seemed very nice, well except Rosalie" he said, and she laughed.
"She never has been all that nice, but I guess that's just the way she is. Enough about Rosalie, what's going on between you and Alice?" she asked, pleased to see Clark blush.
"What do you mean, I just met her!"
"Yeah, and you couldn't keep your eyes off her, and I'd say that the feeling was mutual" Bella said smirking.
"I barely know her and besides isn't she with Jasper? Nothing's going to happen"
"You never know" Bella replied, and they sat in silence for the rest of the way home.
Clark didn't sleep very much that night. His thoughts kept returning to the spikey-haired pixie he had met earlier. He remembered the sound of her laugh when he told a joke, and her smile and her honey-colored eyes. As he finally fell asleep, his last thought was how he couldn't wait for the next day.
"Alice, slow down!" Clark said, as she pulled him through the mall, and into a store.
"I guess you'll just have to keep up" she replied with a wink.
She finally let him go after she found, what seemed to Clark to be the entire contents of the store, to try on.
"Is all this really necessary Alice?" he asked, but she just smirked and told him to stop whining.
Seeing that she wasn't going to budge, he went and tried on all the outfits. Clark felt like he was on a runway with Alice making him try on everything, but in the end he couldn't complain. He got a complete new wardrobe and he got to spend time with Alice, although he'd still miss his plaid, dress shirts weren't too bad either. They decided to go to lunch, and were on their way to a restraint on the other side of town, Alice grumbling as she attempted to fix her spiky hair, when they were surrounded by six burly teenagers covered in tattoos.
"Hey girl, how about you ditch the kid and come have some fun with us" the teen in front said, showing a gold tooth as he talked.
"No thank you" Alice replied, and began to attempt to pass them when two of the teens grabbed her arms, and pushed her into a wall while the other four surrounded Clark. Alice could've easily broken their hold, but she didn't want Clark to know about vampires.
"I'll give you three seconds to let her go or I swear you'll end up in a hospital" he said, and the teens laughed while Alice's eyes shot up to Clark's face. The look on his face convinced her that he was capable of doing what he threatened.
"I don't think you will do anything kid, unless you want your girlfriend's brains to end up splattered on the wall" he said, pulling out a gun a placing it against Alice's forehead. Clark was surprised to see Alice didn't look the least bit scared, and he had to admire that. However, he knew he had to save her, secret be dammed. He punched two of the teens holding him simultaneously, and hit the third, just as he heard the gun go off. He broke the hold of the other two teens, and ran, but he was too late, watching in slow motion as the bullet hit Alice's forehead. Her eyes closed, and she slumped to the street, dead.
"Oh well, sorry about the bitch" the leader said, and Clark felt a rage he had never felt before, not even when Alicia died. He punched the leader as hard as he could, and was satisfied when he heard his head snap back. He was dead, but Clark felt no remorse, only rage, and he turned on the other two thugs, breaking both their arms and legs, as easily as he would snap a twig. He then broke both their necks, his rage only abating when he looked behind him to Alice's still form, lying slumped against the wall. He rushed over to her, but felt no pulse, only the cold stillness of death. He picked up her small form, crying as he realized he loved her. He wasn't sure when or how, but he knew he had fallen in love with Alice Cullen. He sobbed again as he realized that her eyes would never open again, that he would never see her smile, or grimace as the ever present rain ruined her spiky hair. He wished there was kryptonite, so he could join her in death.
"I love you Alice" he said, hoping that wherever she was, she would know how he felt about her, and that was when the eyes of Alice Cullen sprang open. She looked up to see Clark sobbing, and she felt herself cradled in his arms.
"Clark?" she whispered, and he looked into her eyes, wondering how she was alive.
"Alice? How, how are you alive? You had no pulse, your skin was ice-cold" he said, and she put a finger to his lips.
"I promise, I'll explain everything later, but for now I need to talk to Carlisle" she said, and he nodded, setting her on her feet.
"What happened?" she asked, surveying the mass of bodies around them.
"I... dealt with them" Clark replied, and she heard the hollowness in his voice, as he looked on the two dead bodies.
"Looks like we both have some explaining to do" she said, and he nodded.
"I'll see you later" Clark said, suddenly feeling the urge to run. Alice gave him a hug, trying to take away his pain, and then he was gone, running back to Bella's house while Alice went back to her house, both wondering how they were going to explain what had just happened to each other.
