Why can't I remember anything? And why was I only wearing a guy's shirt? This is not something that Alice would've liked. No bra, no panties. Just a freaking shirt. I sat up and brushed my black hair out the way.
"What the hell am I wearing?" I asked no one in particular. I was in pajamas before I went to sleep. Or was I? I only remember being led down to a dark, heavy door and here I am now. Did I really go to sleep?
"Your clothes didn't look comfortable, so I adjusted them." I looked at Alec. All the breath left my left my lungs and I couldn't help but gape at him.
"You changed my clothes? What the heck? What time is it anyway?" I tried to move all of my glossy black hair out of the way.
"I apologize." He didn't sound like he was sorry.
"Whatever, I hope you didn't enjoy the show too much," I buttoned two more buttons, "But you never told me how long I've been here."
"About 5 minutes. I felt that before I get to introduce myself and talk to you, we should meet on fair terms."
"Really? Fair? Undressing me and knocking me unconscious is not fair. My name is JC for Jheneva Coraline Call. And you are Alec Volturi, twin brother of Jane. Aro and Carlisle arranged for me to come here because I have had the biggest crush on you ever since ever.
"You like me?" he asked, shocked.
"Why are you so surprised? You had to know how perfect you are."
"Outside I may be attractive, but my inside usually scares everyone away." I could totally relate.
"Same here."
"So you're just sent here in hopes that I fall in love with you and live happily ever after?" he was careful with his word choice. It sounded almost as if he was setting up a protective barrier around himself to keep the fakes out. He reminded me of my favorite sound; soft raindrops splashing on the sun roof of a parked car. I just rolled my eyes.
"Actually that didn't quite answer the question." I let out a deep breath. I laid back down on the soft pillows filled with his scent. When does he have time to lay here? My wavy hair cascaded around me. It was really becoming a problem being waist length. I picked up a strand, I should straighten it. I prefer my natural waves, more entertaining, when I straighten it, it's usually because I have nothing better to do with my life.
"So you're ignoring me now?" he asked. I nodded, covering my face in a totally sophisticated manner. That was a lie; I just picked up a pillow and smothered myself with it.
"That's really pissing me off." he sighed and left it at that. I got up.
"Pissing you off?" I warned. Silence. I wordlessly got off the bed and found some clothes in my luggage. Designer. Alice packed me a killer wardrobe, no doubt. Instead of rummaging through it in the presence of Alec, I decided to drag it into the bathroom with me.
"The bathroom is through that door." He pointed at a door next to what I assumed was a closet.
I looked at my stunning eyes in the mirror. Not trying to be conceited though. I found my brush and removed all of the tangles from my hair, perfect for the fishtail braid I was about to put in. When the water was hot enough, I finally stepped in.
While scrubbing my skin pink (like always), I remembered Alec. He liked me? I couldn't be too sure. But he was hurt when I didn't answer him... So yes? No? GAH! Who cares at this point? You do.Shut up. Whatever.
I finished blow drying my hair, rubbing mousse through it, and fishtailed it. I chose simple black footie pajamas; no that simple, they had skulls on them. Why did I choose this? Oh yeah, I'm freaking adorable!
I opened the door and tossed my things in the closet. I turned and Alec was less than a foot away from me. I held in the urge to yelp. I kicked him.
"Don't do that, you almost gave me a heart attack!" I said. He laughed at me. He was shirtless; I didn't mind. But I was supposed to be upset at him.
"Where are you going?" he asked.
"Anywhere, but here." I said. He didn't move.
"Do you like me?" I asked. I was proud my voice didn't break. He looked startled at my boldness.
"..." I sighed, rolling my eyes. I maneuvered around him, grabbing my phone off of the nightstand
"Please come back." he said, he wasn't begging, just a small request.
"You didn't answer the question." I said.
"What about my question?" he asked.
"What about it?" I said, no emotion at all. It was cold. I opened the door.
"This isn't over." he said. I paused and turned around. I didn't say a word, and for a moment, I wondered why I was being such a bitch. And then I remembered that I'm a girl, it's in my nature to make guys feel like they did everything wrong. I opened the door only to realize that I have no idea where to go. I've only been in this castle for two hours. You can't pussy out now. I let the door close and kept one palm flat of the stone wall at all times. It was cold down here, all of the valuable members have rooms here, five stories under the basement. Jane is close. Jane, the only one I know well enough to harass. I held my eyes close as I walked. I couldn't just walk blindly, even though that is exactly what I was doing. I had to sense her presence. She's synonymous with the sound of a crow rustling through in a silhouetted tree at midnight. That is what Jane 'looks' like in my mind. I stopped when I finally found what I was looking for. My palm was flat on a dark door; I knew it was hers. I knocked before wondering if she was inside.
"Here so soon? I thought you and my brother would hit it off." She reverted to something more comfortable as well.
"I felt suffocated. I needed air and you are the only one that I actually know here." I replied.
"Come on inside then." And to my surprise, Felix was sitting on her bed, no shirt.
