Chapter Three: The Sadness Will Never End-Alec's POV
Our legs begin to break
We've walked this path for far too long
My lungs, they start to ache
But still we carry on
I'm choking on my words like I got a noose around my neck
I can't believe it's come to this
I can't believe it's come to this
And dear, I fear
That this ship is sinking tonight
I won't give up one you
These scars won't tear us apart
So don't give up on me
It's not too late for us
And I'll save you from yourself
And I'll save you from yourself.
Pink tendrils of the sun snuck up from beneath the horizon; signaling the end of the Vampire day. I was already at the castle, waiting for something to happen. It was a typical boring day in hell I was forced to live through. I hated being immortal. I couldn't sleep or do any thing that would jeopardize our existence (our meaning vampires). I was under the control of someone I had to call "master" day and night; a puppet if you please. I guess I should be thankful that I was saved from being burned alive so many years ago, but in reality I wished I would have died like I was supposed to. The only thing that kept me going was my twin sister, Jane. She loved being a vampire and just loved to show off her powers. I tried to copy her so that no one would suspect anything was going on, but sometimes I slipped through the cracks of my façade.
I felt numb to this life; I had no emotions or feelings whatsoever. It was kind of ironic seeming as my power was to cut of anyone's senses and leave them a helpless pile of noodles on the floor. I was just waiting for something to end my life already; I was already to the point of thinking about doing something that would tell humans that vampires were real, just so Aro would kill me. Even though I was one of his most prized "possessions" I knew he'd kill me.
I sat in my library flipping through a book that held no interest to me whatsoever. I had a few windows open, so I could smell sweet scent of the rain just as it began. Dropping the book onto the ground, I jumped to the top window and peered out, the sun was covered by rain clouds. The first few raindrops already covered the pavement outside; the perfect time for a walk.
Jumping down from the window, I walked at vampire speed to the thrown room where my "master" and the two other people I was supposed to obey were. Aro looked at me with delight in his eyes; I was his second favorite next to Jane. "Alec, my boy, what do you desire?" Aro asked in delight, he was so fake. "I would like to take a walk around town, it's raining," I said back, bowing slightly as a sign of "respect". "Certainly," he replied, his wide-fake smile never leaving his papery-looking face. I thanked him and left, I hated having to ask anyone permission to do anything. As I walked down the long, stone corridors of the castle, I felt a presence to my right; I immediately knew it was Jane. "Brother, where are you going?" she asked, spinning in front of me, making me stop dead in my tracks. "I'm going for a walk," I said back, waiting for her to move. "But your eyes look so black. Aren't you afraid you'll attack one of the humans?" she said back. I knew she wasn't worried about the humans; she was worried about me exposing vampires and getting killed. "I'm ok. I'm seven hundred years old for goodness sake, no need to worry about me," I said back. She rolled her eyes and flounced away from me, no doubt going to find some poor animal she could torture.
As soon as I was out of castle grounds I started walking at a human pace so that no one would notice me. I mean come on; if you saw something flash by you faster than you could blink you'd be confused too. Soon, I made my way to St. Marcus Square; my favorite place in Volterra because of its beauty. Everything was beautiful from the buildings to the fountains to the plants. Why in the world the Vampire Mafia got to live here I'd never understand. I made my way over to the fountain at the center of the square, not really paying attention to anything. That's when I felt something fling itself onto my side, I had to remember to react how a human would by falling on the ground, the person on top of me. When the shock of it all wore off I breathed in a deep sigh and smelt the most wonderful scent I'd ever smelt. It was a combination of berries, mandarin, jasmine, vanilla, caramel, and amber-absolutely delicious. (A/N: Her blood smells like Viva la Juicy perfume by Juicy Couture. It's my favorite perfume, lol.) And no it wasn't some sort of perfume; it was the human that had landed on me's blood. I could feel my pupils dilate and I tried my best not to reach up and snap the human's neck and drink all of its delicious blood from its veins. My throat burned horribly; I muttered a cuss word and sighed in my head.
I jumped to my feet quickly, not really paying attention to the human because I feared I really would kill it. But then again, I would die too and then all of my misery would end. I had to be careful not to snap the human's arm off while I helped it up. That's when I saw the human's face and my breathing stopped; she was gorgeous, she could probably even compare to a vampire with her beauty. Before I could blink again she blurted out, "Damn, I'm sorry. Are you okay? I wasn't paying attention to where I was going so…" Her voice sounded like a million bells ringing, I felt a course of electricity run up my spine. What the hell was wrong with me? Before I could look like an idiot I replied, "I'm fine. Are you?" I had to struggle not to breathe because her scent was so powerful I knew I'd kill her. I gasped in a tiny breath of air and my throat burned like a million fires; but not worse than when I was changed. I could hear the faint music coming from her iPod and I smiled, it was playing Mr. Highway's Thinking About the End by A Day to Remember, my favorite band. "Yeah, I'm sorry. Uhh, see you later," the marvelous human said, turning away from me. Was she scared of me or something? But before she could leave, I saw her "I Heart Screamo" hoodie and decided we must have something in common so like the idiot I was, I grabbed her wrist lightly, her warm skin burned into mine-faint scars were present on her wrists. Was she a cutter like me? Every second I spent around her made my mind spin, in a good way, but my throat burned and ached worse than it ever had. Before I could think I blurted out, "Nice taste in music." Then I gestured to her hoodie and iPod and said, "A Day to Remember is my favorite band too." My throat was killing me but I was compelled to talk to this human, she was so fascinating. Her face flushed and I saw the blood creep beneath her veins, inviting me to drink from then. I had to catch myself or I would have killed her then and there. I let go of her wrist and turned around, I had to get out of there and think coherently. And of course, find something to drink before I died.
Running as fast as I possibly could (at a human pace, of course) I made my way into the woods of Volterra, from there I ran as fast as I could; trying to get out of the city's boundary so I could hunt. That human smelt better than anything I'd smelt in my whole seven hundred years of existence, it was maddening. I had to muster up all of my will power not to kill her right there. But she was gorgeous; agh my head was spinning! Before long I was in the country outside of Volterra, spotting a lone farmer I ran up to him and attacked him; he wouldn't know what hit him. I drank as much as I could but soon he went dry and my throat was still burning. I saw another human coming to investigate why the other human I had killed wasn't doing something and I pounced on it; drinking it's blood. It was sweet; definitely not as sweet as the marvelous human's. I longed to taste her blood; my throat flared even more. I sat up and sighed, looking at the sky in remorse.
The human had been so gorgeous and maddening. Her blood, oh her blood. Why did it have to smell so good, why did it have to taunt me? A phrase popped into my head; La tua Cantante. The way her blood sang to me reminded me of that. I knew I would have killed her if she would have been out of the city limits. But she was gorgeous, and I couldn't get over the way her voice had sounded; how she sent electricity down my spine. I had heard of soul mates and all that but I really didn't believe in all that crap, but was that what had happened? A thought popped into my head, about that Edward Cullen and Isabella girl. How she had become his soul mate and how his blood was maddening to her-his la tua cantante. Was that what was happening to me? Was I going crazy? I screamed in rage; picking up a tree and smashing it into another tree with all my might, they splintered against each other link toothpicks.
My head was spinning and I knew the only way to clear it was to open my skin up. I dug my razor-like claws into my skin as hard as I could, they penetrated my skin and I dragged them down my arm. My head cleared for a second and I was able to think clearly. The girl possibly couldn't be my soul mate, maybe my la tua cantante but certainly not that. But why was she so marvelous to me? I sighed inwardly and decided what I had to. I would observe the girl and see if she really dazzled me, or if it was just her blood singing to me. In the mean time I had to steer clear of Aro, he'd read my mind and I'd be done for. Falling for a human would be the most despicable thing a vampire could do. It couldn't happen to me.
I thought a little while longer and decided to bury the bodies of the humans I had killed, their lifeless eyes stared back at me and I smirked. Killing was something that I enjoyed; I was a hunter and I lived for it. After burying them I decided to go back to the castle to see if Heidi was back with lunch yet; my throat still burned. But I had to stay clear of Aro, and possibly Jane too because she could sense when something was wrong with me. No one could find out my secret, no one.
Finding my way back to the castle, I saw Heidi's little group of "tourists" make their way into the throne room; good. As soon as the door shut behind them, I pounced on the first one I could find. I did that four more times; draining my victims dry. Their blood no where near compared to the girl's blood but the burn in my throat had settled into a dull ache. I didn't wait to clean up the bodies; I never did, instead I hurried off to my room and shut the door securely behind me (not that it would help if someone really wanted to get me). I tried to focus on the task at hand; avoid Aro and my sister and find the girl to see if anything else happened while I was around her. But I knew she was at school so I had to occupy my time until I could go find her; so I turned my stereo up as loud as it would go; a song turning on at random. The Sadness Will Never End by Bring Me the Horizon came on, it kinda fit my mood. But I waited and waited and waited, until finally, it was dusk outside. Surely she was home by now. Absentmindedly I pulled on my cloak and walked to the wall.
Not wanting to ask for permission to leave, I jumped out of my window and made my way into the city. Volterra was only so big so I knew I'd find her before the end of the night. I ran around the city, smelling the breeze and even the ground; trying to find her scent so I could track her. Around midnight I finally smelt something on the breeze; it was her. As fast as I could, I turned to face the wind and followed her scent to a deserted park. Hiding in the bushes I watched her-she was listening to music; completely oblivious to the danger around her. She looked up, almost like she could sense someone was watching her; smart girl, I thought. Then the breeze picked up again and I smelt her scent; stronger than before. The monster inside of me turned on then; I was a hunter. I didn't care what the consequences were; I had to have her. Stepping out of the bushes I stared at her; trying to get my power to work on her. But she just sat there; staring back at me, completely terrified. She really was maddening, I had to have her. But why wasn't my power working on her? Well, I guess we wouldn't find out. Walking at a leisurely pace, I approached her. Her eyes widened in fright. I smiled; she wouldn't know what hit her…
A/N: OMG! What's gonna happen? Is he gonna eat her or what? You won't find out for another week because I'm going to the beach. But, please review! Thanks guys!
