"Alec! Let's go." I shouted and whispered at the same time. Alec waved at me in an I'll-be-right-there motion. He hopped on one foot trying to get the soda box off his foot. He knocked over a trash can and fell on top of it. He popped up and ran over to the rest of us. One splurge in all my time and I get stuck with him. Why couldn't he just die like the rest of them?

"How did I do?"

"Well let's see. You let one girl go. You made too much noise. And you made a mess."

"So I did better."

"Yes. At least no one got staked this time."

"Hey, Jonathan was not that important."

"He was our only mind reader. Now we must get Edward Cullen. He is currently with Tanya and his family. And we will go to him. Once you are trained. On to the next city." We are currently in Wisconsin. We are on our way to our 3rd town today. Glenwood City has gone down in population by one person. Sloppy work from Alec. Roberts lost no people. Blair lost 17 people. But that was our breakfast so no props for Alec.

When we arrived in Maiden Rock there was a large celebration going on. Marcus asked a child what day it was and she replied that it was the anniversary of the mayor. Alec picked out a man to attack and I lured him into an alley. That is the best part about being a female vampire. My name is Jane. I have blond hair and red eyes. The red eyes because of my nature. Alec walked by me and walked over to the man. Mr. Victim went to lunge at Alec but Alec grabbed his arm and swung him around his body so the man landed face down on the ground. Alec lunged for the man's neck and hit an artery cleanly. Alec drank until the man was dead and he stood up. I handed him a towel for the blood that was dripping down his face.

"Thanks."

"You did much better Alec. I am very proud of you." I walked over to Alec and hugged him. Alec pulled back but left his arms around my waist.

"Where are the others," he asked as he looked over my shoulder.

"They went back to Utah. They didn't want to wait." Utah is where we are staying until Alec is ready and we can go get Edward in Alaska.

"Oh really," Alec said as he pulled me closer. Alec leaned his head down because he stands only a good 2 inches over me. He leaned down one inch and I went on my toes to close the distance between us. Our lips touched in the slightest way. I pulled back but Alec came down lower and put his lips back on my lips. I pulled away again and backed up.

"Why do you always give me a tiny kiss and then walk away," Alec asked and his lower lip thrust out.

"It is too dangerous for us to be together until after you are trained."

"But you just saw how good I did. Aren't I trained yet? And how would anyone know?"

"You need to kill perfectly more than once to be trained. And do you forget Aro and Marcus' gifts. Aro will know if I touch him once. And Marcus detects relationships."

"Why is it dangerous though?"

"Well, uh…. Um…..because…..it is."

"That reason sucks. It isn't dangerous. You are just afraid of disappointing me huh?"

"Alec! Can you read minds and cut off senses?"

"No I can't read minds. I just know you. You won't disappoint me. It is highly impossible for someone as adorable as you to disappoint anyone." Alec took a step towards me and I looked at the alley wall. Alec bent down and kissed my neck. He moved up my neck and got to my jaw. I was still unresponsive and he sighed and moved back.

"I am going to keep kissing you until you respond," he said as he laughed. He kissed me on the mouth lightly and his lips just lingered there. He wants responsive? Okay. Today is a day for doing whatever you want apparently so I am going to do something I have wanted to do or a week.

I wrapped my arms tightly around his neck and crushed my lips to his. His eyes flew open in shock and he took his mouth away form mine.

"I don't want you to do what you don't want to. If you don't want to kiss me you don't have to."

"First rule, I never do anything I don't want to do." I pulled his mouth back to mine and I went up on my toes so that he wouldn't hurt his back. He put his hands on the small of my back and pulled me as close to him as I could go. Alec kissed my nose and neck before returning to reality. And in reality, there was a police officer standing in the entry way to the alley shining a flashlight at us. The light went down to the man on the ground and Alec and I ran. We knocked the police officer down and ran to Michigan.

We rented a room there and called Aro. We told him that we almost got caught and we were staying here for further 'training' because Alec did badly. As soon as I got off the phone Alec asked me where we left off and then kissed me on the lips. He obviously knew exactly where we left off. I led Alec over to the couch and we sat closely. I turned on the television and relaxed to watch some discovery channel crap about lions and gazelles. The lion was just about to attack the smaller animal when Alec turned my head toward him. His lips landed on mine with a firm confidence that I have to say I admired. I kissed Alec back and turned the firm kiss into a sweet kiss. His tongue traced my lower lip, politely asking for entrance. He was just so cute I couldn't deny him entrance. His tongue entered my mouth and I didn't know what to do because I had never kissed anyone like this before. I was only in my teen years when I was changed. Alec kissed my nose once more and pulled me towards him. I rested my head on his shoulder and I watched the gazelle escape the lion.
