The next morning, Prince Alec was out in the town square. He walked into the bakery to see Mrs. Whitlock working the counter. She was the owner and her son, Jasper, always helped her around the store.

"Good morning Mrs. Whitlock." Alec said.

"Good morning Alec." Mrs. Whitlock said.

"How are you doing this morning?" Alec asked.

"I'm doing quite well this morning." Mrs. Whitlock said.

Just then, Jasper came out of the kitchen in blue jeans and a black T-shirt. He was carrying a pan of fresh cinnamon rolls. He put the pan down behind the glass display panel before putting four of them in a small pink box. He gave it to a teenage girl around Alec's age.

"Here you go darlin'" Jasper said.

"Thank you." She said.

Alec noticed that she wore a white shirt that went off the shoulder and a purple skirt with white ruffles under it. She wore her long dark hair in a high ponytail with a red ribbon. He also noticed that she wasn't wearing any shoes and had gold anklets on her ankles. She gave Jasper some gold coins from her pouch and turned to leave. Alec saw the pendent around her neck and saw the same pendent that the girl from last night was wearing. She walked past him and walked out of the bakery.

"Wasup Alec?" Jasper said.

"Nothing much Jazz." Alec said. "Can I get one of those éclairs?" Alec asked.

"Sure." Jasper said. "You want chocolate, vanilla or strawberry?" He asked.

"Chocolate please." Alec said.

Jasper got one out of the display tray and put it in a piece of wax paper. He gave it to Alec and got the money for it from him.

"Thanks Jazz." Alec said.

"Welcome. So did anything happen last night?" Jasper asked.

"Not really, but I did see something strange." Alec said.

"What did you see?" Jasper asked.

"Well there was this girl walking down the street in a black cloak. All of sudden, she stops." Alec said. "She turned around and saw this dark guy following her. She takes off running and the man chases after her. He chases her all the way to the cathedral where the pastor lets her in to safety."

After he finished talking to Jasper, he left the bakery as he took a bite of the éclair. As he walked past the water fountain, he saw the girl from the bakery giving away one of her cinnamon rolls to a little five year old boy. She patted him on the head and put the box in the basket on her arm. Alec walked over to her and bumped into her. The girl dropped her basket and a few apples bounced out.

"Oh gosh." She said stooping down to pick up the apples.

Alec stooped down and helped her pick up the apples.

"I'm so sorry." Alec said.

"It's alright." She said. "Accidents happen all the time."

Alec picked up the last apple and held it out to her. She took it from him as she looked at him. She looked into his silver gray eyes and got a little lost in them. He helped her up onto her feet as she looked at him. She noticed that he wore a red button shirt and black jeans with white G-Nikes.

"Thank you." She said.

"You're welcome." Alec said.

She looked on the side of his mouth and saw some chocolate on the side of his mouth. She covered her mouth with her hand and started giggling.

"What?" Alec asked.

"You have some chocolate on the side of your mouth." She said taking out a white handkerchief from out of her bra.

She wiped the chocolate from the side of his mouth as he looked into her sky blue eyes. As she took her hand from his mouth, he grabbed her hand.

"Might I know your name?" Alec asked.

"I'm Delilah Ambrose." Delilah said, "And you are?" She asked.

"I'm Alec Volturi." Alec said.

"You mean…" Delilah started to say but was interrupted by Alec putting his hand over her mouth.

"No offence, but I would rather not be trampled today." Alec said as he removed his hand from her mouth.

"Sorry." Delilah said. "I better go." She said.

She started to walk away when Alec pulled her into his arms.

"Please stay." Alec said. "How about you and I go for a walk?" He asked.

"Okay." Delilah said.

She linked onto his arm and they went walking through the town square. Alec helped her with some of her shopping. Later on around lunch, Alec and Delilah were at a small café in town. Delilah was eating spaghetti Bolognese and Alec was eating ravioli.

"You know, you have more manners than any other gypsy I've met." Alec said.

"Well my father was a nobleman and my mother always said that manners are important." Delilah said.

"Take that ribbon out of your hair." Alec said.

Delilah took the ribbon out of hair and shook her hair. Her hair came down like a flowing river. Alec couldn't take his eyes off of her.

"You look better with your hair down." Alec said.

"Thank you." Delilah said.

After eating lunch, Delilah went to get a dress from one of the gypsy clerks. Alec went over to the flower stand and brought a full blossomed pink rose. He walked over to her as she was paying for her dress.

"Thanks Esmeralda." Delilah said as she gave her a big white box.

Alec put the flower in her hair before he kissed her hand. Just then, Alec's cell phone went off in his pocket. He took out his cell and answered it to hear his sister's voice.

"Yes Jane." Alec said.

"Daddy said to come home." Jane said.

"Alright. I'll be home in a while." Alec said.

He hung up his phone and looked at Delilah.

"Delilah? I have to go but, I would like to see you again." Alec said.

Delilah reached into the pocket inside her cloak and pulled out a small white card.

"Take this." Delilah said giving him the card. "If you send a message to me and they can't find me in the town square, send it to this address." She said.

Delilah kissed his cheek before she walked away from him. She looked at him over her shoulder and smiled at him. Alec went back to the palace and went up to his father's study. He opened the door to see Jane and his father arguing.

"But daddy, I don't want to go to the festival." Jane whined.

"Jane. You know you have to go. As a member of the royal family you must go." Aro said.

Jane crossed her arms and pouted.

"I don't know why you argue Jane." Alec said making himself known. "You know you'll never win."

"Oh! Shut up Alec!" Jane said before she stuck her tongue out at him.

"Love you too sis." Alec said.
