"I am starting to get use to life without my visions" Alice mentioned as the train pulled up to a station in Eugene, Oregon.
"Don't, you won't have to go for long." Adam responded as he gave Alice and Jasper two black large umbrellas. "Good thing it's windy out, I belive Esme packed your swim suits."
"She did" Jasper checked the trunks. "Why?"
"We are going to the beach." Adam answered. "We are going to swim to our destination. Adam than grabbed his suitcase, and led them out to the train deck.
"How are we going to swim with our stuff?" Alice asked. "I got good clothes in some of these."
"Don't worry" Adam explained to them. "They will be taken care of. Come on lets go, I need to find a place to look at the map."
"He's taking forever" Alice whispered to Jasper as they watched him struggle with the maps. Adam looked to be around twenty, and he was not blending in with humans at all. He was having the hardest time reading the map, he kept turning it, it kept blowing in his face. It was quite comical to watch. This was their chance to escape, as Adam struggled, they kept walking in till they where out of his sight.
"When do you think he will notice?" Alice asked.
"By the time he figures with the map, we should be on a flight back home." Jasper answered. "I am never going on a train again."
"Let's call a cab so we can get to the air port, figure out the next flight to Seattle." Alice said as she raised her hand, then a bright yellow cab came over at a fast speed letting them in.
"Air port, please" Jasper told him. Then the cab driver turned, he was an Asian vampire with black hair that was tied in a bun over his pale skin, along with his swirling blue eyes. "You aren't going anywhere?" as he looked at Alice. "And it is nice to finally meet you."
"Haruto" Adam smiled greeting his vampire friend. "Caught them just on time."
"That is what comes with being a tracker." Haruto smiled at Alice and Jasper. "I am a member of his coven. I warned him you might exscape, of course most people don't leave him after he uses his gift. You haven't changed much, have you Alice."
Adam then looked at Alice firmly. "Haruto, don't bring that up now." Adam ordered. "I thought you liked being able to know the future."
"I had visions again, once you left" Alice pointed out. "So you have not effected me with your power permit."
"I have Alice" Adam said sadly. "You don't know it. I am afraid I will have to do it again."
"What are you talking about?" Alice asked.
"I been searching you for too long now" Adam explained. "I fear I may have to take the one person's memory for you to stay with me."
"Jasper" Alice said scared shaking his arm. "He is starting to scare me."
Jasper then looked at her with an eye brow raise and asked "What are you talking about lady?"
AT THE BEACH
"Now we will listen to the next part of our story." Adam smiled as he open the journal at an abandon cloudy beach.
"Make it quick" Alice demanded, she didn't know she was capable of being this angry.
"Before I continue, I need to explain, when a human much like Edna, they get confused with what love is" Adam explained. "People take advantage of their desperation. Now let me began."
1900
Don Walker was a handsome man, with sleek brown hair, and brown eyes. He had a smooth face with a cunning smiled. He walked into the bar that Edna, now seventeen was working. She came down where a bright shiny skirt, and a low cut top. It was considered provocative at that time, but Edna made more tips that way.
"Can I help you" Edna asked when she saw Don Walker for the first time.
"I would like a drink" He smiled lovingly. "Shot of whiskey."
"It will take a minute" Edna answered the poured it for him quickly. "Anything else"
"Yourself" Done answered.
"Sorry, not for sale" Edna answered blushing.
"Not enough money in the world" Done said happily. "You are too beautiful."
"I tell you what" Edna smiled. "I get off work at sunrise, we can meet then."
"Fine with me" Done answered.
ONE MONTH LATER
"Why do you seem so happy?" Mary asked as Edna headed downstairs.
"Meeting Done" Edna answered.
"Have fun" Mary smiled "But not too much fun"
"I will" Edna answered and headed out.
"You look lovely as always" Don said happily.
"You do too" Edna blushed again.
"Edna, I have something to tell you" Don sighed. "I'm in love with you"
"Me" Edna smiled. "You love me"
"I have to leave and head out to Atlanta and before I do that, we should get married." Done pointed out bluntly.
"I do too" Edna agreed happily. They did get married, it was a simple wedding, it took place in the bar Edna once worked. Mary was the maid of honor, and that very afternoon they were headed to Atlanta.
PRESENT DAY
"What happened when she got to Mississippi" Alice asked.
"We will save that for another time." Adam closed the book. "Right now, we need to go hunting."
"How, nothing out here." Alice pointed out.
"We are swimming form this next point" Adam answered. "You know how to swim"
"I do" Alice looked up as Adam looked back. A picture came to Alice's mine at that moment, she was near a creek in the water and swimming. She was smaller then, a child. "Yes, I can swim"
