Alec
The sun started to peak over the tops of the mountains. the higher it got, the more I started to sparkle and remember that I'm no longer human. I haven't been for over one thousand years but sometimes I still forget. I still fool myself into thinking that I'm the same Alec from back then. In truth, I'm nothing like my old self. At least not that anyone can see. I was nicer then, more hopeful and nurturing. However life, during my humanity, beat any feeling I had right out of me. It made me cruel and ruthless...it makes me cruel and ruthless. I have no remorse for killing, no second thought about it usually. The more fear in the blood the better, the more they struggle to get away...the better.
Renesmee was sparkling as well, but not as much. We'll have to go soon before people start to arrive. We've been on our adventure for three weeks and I must say that I chose right in getting her for a travel partner. Dare I say that I have fun when she's around? She's very playful, but also very inquisitive and curious. However, I think what I like most about her thus far is her ability to still be amazed and find wonder in everyday things like a sunrise, or a sunset, or a "good cup of joe" as she puts it.
"Are you satisfied now? You've cuddled Pandas, gotten pictures of the mountains, and we've watched the sun set and rise on the Great Wall. Shall we leave China for somewhere else?"
"Sure. Are you sure you didn't want to cuddle with the Pandas? They are so cute and it doesn't hurt when they swipe at you. Did rip my clothes though, that one panda was a total dickhead."
"I'll pass. I don't wallow with animals."
I saw her mock me from the side of my eye. I pushed her off the wall she landed in a crouch on her feet. I jumped down off the side of the wall as well and she just stood there scowling at me. It's not as if I haven't pushed her off of a tall surface before. I do it mostly to see if she will always land on her feet. Other times its to provoke her to attack. Something about her being angry is amusing. Maybe it's how quickly she becomes inclined to violence... of course that's why I do it.
We ran into each other, this time on purpose. Our bodies made a sound like thunder as they connected and we rolled down the side of the mountain and by a slight chance we managed not to leave a path of deforestation behind us. When we finally stopped rolling she lay on the ground out of breath, while I lay on the ground chuckling at the altercation.
"New ground rule... no pushing me off of stuff! I could have died."
"No you couldn't have. Come on, let's go."
"Ugh...fine."
She took a look at the map, and then at her compass and she just took off running, she does that often. For someone who has to stop for breath and to let her heart rest every few hours she sure has a lot of energy.
We don't have a set travel plan, we go where the wind takes us and since I chose China she gets to choose the next place. This should be very interesting.
It was and talking for a while, just moving, just the wind hitting my face. Running is sort of an absent minded activity for me. I don't have to put effort into it, I just move my legs and I don't get tired. I might as well be lying down or just standing. However, while I ran beside Renesmee I thought about Jane. Only one of us is allowed to leave at a time so she's back in Volterra. I can bet that she's probably feasting on some human right now, or perhaps using her mental fires on someone. That's Jane... I'll bet she's also been in my room, snooping through my things. She thinks I have a journal, and I do, but it's hidden within the walls and she will never find it. I've made sure of that. It's the same place where the ashes are.
Nessie walked back, panting hard. I'd stopped running and I didn't realize.
"What's wrong? Why'd you quit running? We've gotta make it down under."
"I just... thought about home. That's all. I didn't realize I'd stopped moving."
"Oh."
"Australia?"
"Yes. I want to see animals. Not the spiders though..."
"Spiders are fascinating."
"They are scary as hell! I hate spiders. I'd kill them all if I could."
"You'll live forever, make it your task."
"I just might do that."
We started to run again and I realized that thinking about home wouldn't be the best thing to do. It's not exactly home that makes me feel ill emotions though, it's what's buried in the walls. The sole reminder that my duty to my coven, and my job is supposed to come before everything else. When I was young I forgot that, and I paid dearly for it with someone else's life.
The hotel looked like it used to be a warehouse of some sort, or a factory. However, it was nicely decorated and it smelled clean. Well, as clean as any human establishment could went to the front desk and the lady there looked up. Her smile broadened when she saw me. I'm used to that response from human women when I go out. Usually they will give me their number, but I don't own a phone so its useless. Not that I'd want to call them anyway.
"Hi, what can I do for you and your sister," she asked, darting her eyes back and forth between Renesmee and I.
"Oh... we aren't related, just friends," said Renesmee, "and we'd like two rooms, both single beds."
"You're in luck. We happen to have two. May I have your card please?"
"Of course," she said... pulling it out.
"Allow me," I said. I was in the mood to have some fun with this woman. She kept looking to me, biting her painted lips, and twirling dirty blonde her hair. I pulled out my black card, knowing it would excite her, and I heard her heart flutter. Renesmee turned to look at me, a tiny smirk on her face. The woman at the desk flushed red.
"Okay Mr... Alecsander Volt. The rooms will be ready in thirty minutes. You two could have a seat at the bar if you like, until then."
"That sounds perfect... thank you Lizzy," said Rensmee.
We sat at the stools and Renesmee ordered some kind of slushy alcoholic drink. I'm sure her overprotective, worry wart of a father would not approve of her drinking it, but who cares? It's been a long day of running, island jumping, swimming and more running and it's made me quite thirsty.
"You know, Lizzy seems nice," said Renesmee.
"Yes, she seems delicious."
"Alec...geez. I mean you know, you could probably blow off some steam. Get a release."
"The only thing I want to do is take out these damn contact lenses."
"I'm glad I don't have that issue. So are you going out for 'dinner' tonight?"
"No. I think I might manage to find something here at the hotel."
"No... I think you should go out."
"Don't tell me what to do Renesmee," I could tell I'd put too much... nonchalance behind my words to make them seem like a weren't though, and I don't like being told what to do, but I do see her logic. I decided to change the topic to wipe away the tension. "What about you?"
"I'm ordering room service and going to sleep. My body needs rest, she said as she tucked her hair behind her ear, looked off into the distance, and drank her drink.
She was irritated with me. Usually we'd get into an argument but if she's not bickering with me that much mean she really is too tired.
"Spoil sport."
The rooms were ready just in time for me to take the contact lenses out before the venom dissolved the color completely. They were irritating. I hate them. I do envy the Cullens for that one thing. They don't have to wear the wretched things in their eyes with the animal blood diet.
"Goodnight Alec. Please wake me up to meet the sun."
"Okay. Sleep tight."
She gave me a very small smile and closed the door. I went into my room slung the backpack onto the bed before sitting down on it. The mattress is soft, if I did sleep this would be something I'd like to sleep on. I miss that aspect of being human. Going unconscious for hours every day. My power does that to people but I can't do it to myself. I've tried and it doesn't work. Though, I think it would be nice to not know if you're alive or dead for a good part of the night.
The clothes in my backpack were twice cleaned. Once when Renesmee and I went to a Chinese laundromat and again on the swim over here. Luckily, they were dry now, and not wrinkled. I showered, getting the dirt off me. When I was done I got dressed in jeans and a black shirt.I put on another pair of those damned contact lenses. My hair was still in decent shape, probably because of Renesme fixing it before we came into the hotel. She was afraid that if we looked too wild and nomadic, they just think we were vagrants and they wouldn't give us a room.
After I dressed I grabbed my wallet and the room key and I went downstairs. I went to the desk where the woman, Lizzy was sitting.
"Hello beautiful."
"Hi... Mr. Volt, right?"
"Yes. Do you know where I can go to have a good time around here?"
"There's a club about fifteen minutes away on foot. It's usually a good time. It's called Lucy's Loft."
"Excellent. Then I'll go there... Do you go there often?"
"Yeah. I was actually going there tonight. I was supposed to meet a friend, but she cancelled. Sometimes you're just in the mood to dance though, you know?"
"Indeed I do. Well... Hopefully I'll see you there."
She made up the part about going to the club. She wasn't... it was spur of the moment. The quiver in her voice said it. Though I expected her to go there because I said I was going. She's young, and stupid, and I'm not ugly...plus she thinks I'm rich. Inch by inch I'm drawing her in.
I got to the club and it was crowded. However, I didn't have to stand in line to get in. The bouncer, a woman in a dress that looked like tin foil, said that I was hot, so she let me in without even making me pay.
As soon as I entered the club I smelled sex and sweat and drugs and liquor. The music was so loud that it seemed to give the walls of the club a pulse, and the lights went along with the music. There were certainly good times being had, I almost wish Renesmee didn't have to miss this. She would probably enjoy something like this... a club. However, I'm not here to party, I'm here to hunt and she doesn't like to see me hunt. I happen to think she doesn't like to see it because she knows she doesn't have the control to keep herself to giving in. However, I could be wrong.
Thirty minutes after I was there I smelled the desk clerk from the hotel come through the entrance. She too, was wearing a dress that looked like tin foil, except it was pink. She looked attractive, many men would probably wish to take her to the bathroom for a quick fuck, or two, but she wasn't beautiful.
I started towards her. The swaying bodies seemed to move out of the way, or perhaps I navigated through them without noticing. Lizzy's eyes were going through the crowd, she was looking for any signs of me. If only she knew that in a few minutes, she'd wish she never met me. I was going to kill Lizzy. Venom was filling my mouth at the thought of her blood. It would be laced with fear and anxiety, making it sweeter than sweet.
"Hello Lizzy."
"Hi Mr. Volt."
"Please..Lizzy. Call me Alecsander."
"Okay, Alecsander. So what are you and your friend doing here in Sydney?"
"We travel a lot. We swore to do it when we were children and this is us carrying it out."
"And she won't be jealous that you're here... with me? She is so gorgeous."
"Lizzy envy doesn't befit you. My friend, is just that. In fact she encouraged me to talk to you."
"She did?"
"Yes. Don't take this as me being too forward, but would you like to go somewhere more private?"
"Yes... I would."
We ended up walking and talking... well she talked, for a little over an hour. Lizzy was desperate, so desperate that when I suggested getting a cheap hotel room she went and gave the man in the booth the money. He never even saw my face. She was about to crawl into bed with a stranger. If I were human I'd carry the risk of disease, but perhaps maybe if I was human she wouldn't want this destruction so badly.
She took off her dress, heels, bra, and panties and lay on the filthy motel comforter. I could smell remnants of cum from other bodies and even hints of blood.
I didn't bother fully undressing, instead I just unzipped my pants to give her what she wanted before I got what I needed. When I pushed into her she moaned out, clutching onto me for dear life. After a few seconds she was clenching around me and her heart was racing, post orgasm. I couldn't resist any longer. I covered her mouth lightly and I bit into her neck, still thrusting into her. She tried to scream but they never escaped her chest... the venom was paralyzing her. I kept going, I kept fucking her until I got my release, which happened to be when every ruby drop of blood from her veins was in me. Not a flicker on the sheets either. I licked the wound and it sealed closed. I put her in bed, as if she was just asleep. They'd think she died of a heart attack.
