Hey People, I have a few things to say to you... first: I only got FOUR FIVE reviews! FourFive! I am very annoyed at you all ., second: thank you to those who did review – I really appreciate it! And third, the plot bunny that sits with a gun at my head had a couple of different ideas on where to go with this chapter so I hope you all like this idea (please like it the bunny is serious)! Please please please with toffee caramel and sugar strands on top review my story! Seriously you have no idea how happy I get when I receive a review from a stranger! (Not that the reviews from my friends aren't just as appreciated!)

Disclaimer- I have written SEVERAL letters to Miss Meyer and her lawyers and yet, Twilight and all its wonderful characters are STILL NOT MINE!

She leapt at her...

Alice didn't know what had come over her, the blood lust had become totally unbearable, and it was almost as if she was a wooden marionette with the overwhelming bloodlust as her master. Steph's blood was pounding through the hundreds of miles of veins and arteries at such a fast pace... the sweet smell was even stronger as Alice got closer, how had she not seen this coming? Why didn't Jasper come after her? Why did the stupid human girl have enough decency to check on her when so many others wouldn't have bat an eyelid at her?

Alice landed on the girl's chest and knocked her to the ground, she was straddled across her, pinning the terrified human to the floor, and she lowered her face to Stephs neck. Alice paused, she wanted to enjoy this moment however short it may seem, she inhaled the intoxicating scent of blood, Alice traced the line of the neck with her tongue, starting at the hollow below her ear all the way down to the concave of the throat just mere millimetres above the jugular vein that would deliver the syrupy ambrosia to her, the taste was so much more satisfying than wild deer and mountain lion. Alice looked up, into Stephs eyes, the girl was pale and her eyes wide with fear, tear-tracks ran the length of her face and glistened in the weak light. Steph's eyelids fluttered shut as Alice looked back down to the exposed flesh, she could see the pulse jumping, just underneath the creamy skin... She wanted it so bad; the scent screamed at her to give herself up to her primeval instincts and just hurry up and rip the girl's throat out already. Alice drew a deep, slightly shuddery breath, and bit...

Alice's teeth sliced through the skin of the crying girl and sank straight into the soft, pulsing flesh underneath, Alice drank the blood down, she forgot to be neat and to stay clean, she was vaguely aware that the skin around her mouth was being stained crimson with the blood, she didn't care though, she was completely enveloped in the overwhelming taste of it the rich blood and how it made her feel, she had given herself over entirely to the feelings of bloodlust. She took her time, trying her hardest to savour her first taste of human blood in several decades. She hardly noticed that the girl had stopped fighting back and making choked gurgling noises as the life blood was drained from her, the only noise now were the dry sucking sounds she made against the girls , thethroat.

The thought of her families reaction to her 'slip up' stopped her temporarily abruptly, how would Jasper react when he saw that she had scarlet eyes and stained lips? She'd been gone for less than ten minutes but he'd come looking for her soon and he'd be so upset with her, after all his years of trying so hard to stick to their families strict 'vegetarian' diet she had gone and made the most basic mistake a 'vegetarian' vampire could make, she had lost herself entirely...

Alice looked down at herself; her blouse was blood stained and slightly torn where the poor girl had attempted to pull the tiny vampire off of her, her grey jeans had grass stains worked into the denim, she looked a mess and, although she had only just drained a woman- the burning thirst raged in the back of her throat once more; stronger than she had known it for years. Alice pulled her knees to her chest and started to dry sob, she looked over at the body of the poor, innocent shop girl, her throat was a mess, and it looked like a wild beast had torn it out, blood was everywhere and Alice knew she had a maximum of 10 minutes before someone decided to check upon the whereabouts of a shop girl who had appeared to have vanished whilst on duty. She had to move the body of the poor girl away from behind the store. She stood up and moved to pick the body up when she heard it; "Alice? Allie why are you back here?" she dropped the body, and looked up wide eyed at the sound of Jaspers voice, the voice was so close, there was no possible way to conceal what she had done. "Alice?" the voice was behind her now, she took an unnecessary but deep breath and slowly she turned to face her husband.
