These things I've never faced
Scratch out, but won't erase

To say the least, I was stunned. V-Vampire? Are you kidding me? There's no such thing... There can't be... but how do I explain this?

I looked down at my hands once more, marveling at the glitter they gave off. It was so weird. I wasn't ready for this in the least bit, but there couldn't be much of another way to understand this. I was a killer... These people made me into something that could kill all my friends... Something that probably would... A Monster...

The next few minutes were spent in silence between me and Alice. I was debating the pros and cons of this new life, while Alice looked extremely guilty and also deep in thought. Her eyebrows were pushed together as she thought, and I couldn't help but notice how... ugh... sexy she looked. I may be a monster, I thought. But I am still a man. Besides, I may be able to help my friends. After all, we are half bloods and they might need help eventually. Besides, I was going to die and end up in Hades' realm anyways. A half life is better than no life. My thoughts, as jumbled as they were, still couldn't help to draw back to Alice occasionally.

Is she okay? Why does she look guilty? What is she thinking about so hard?

My thoughts were interrupted by a barely there whisper, so soft, if not for my now excellent hearing, I doubt I would have heard it. "Im sorry."

She was sorry? What was she sorry for?... saving my life? I voiced my opinions aloud and she looked back at me, pure guilt and confusion written on her face. "Im sorry for... Condeming you to this life... For doing this to you, all of this," She said as she waved her hands around, motionin to everything around us. "I know you'll probably hate me for it and I feel worthless for doing this to you without your permission. But when I heard you say, "Help me" I did the first thing I could. anyway I just wanted to apologize... I'm sorry."

I looked at her, anger seeping into me. I hate it when people brought themselves down; it was a waste of time and energy. "Alice, I don't hate you. There is no reason for me to. And your not worthless. You saved me from the brink of death, and brought me back into a new life, a second life. As far as I can see, you saved me. Who else could or would have... I don't know, but as far as I can tell, you did and I'm forever indebted to you for it... So thank you."

At my sentence, her face dispayed pure happiness. She jumped up and down, and started clappin her hands. I chuckled slightly at the look of joy on her face. It suited her well. Her eyes were bright, and her pale lips were pulled up into a smile. Not a fake smile like most Aphrodite girls that I knew wore. In fact, most of those girls would probably take a hit on their self esteem if she walked by.

"Then can we be friends... Oh. I don't even know your name," She asked in a high pitched voice that sounded like wind chimes in a soft breeze.

"Nico," I said as I held a hand out to her.

She giggled slightly. "Hmmm... Exotic..." She then ignored my outstretched hand and wrapped her tiny arms around me. Her head only came up to my mid-chest, which was laughable. I was anything but, as I tensed under her touch. It wasn't unwelcome, but when she touched me, I felt as if I had been lit on fire... in a good way. Like an electric shock through my whole body. I tentatively put my hands on her shoulders.

"Alice?" Came a soft call from the doorway. We both looked over and saw a woman who appeared to be in her thirties. Her hair was a soft caramel color and flowed down to her shoulders. Her eyes were a deep and rich golden color. As she stared at us for a moment, I remembered that Alice and I were still entertwined. Alice slowly pulled away, as if to savor the moment.

"Oh, hey Esme. This is Nico," Alice pointed out as she pointed at me. "Nico, this is my mother, Esme." I looked at Esme, trying to figure out how these two could be related.

They must have saw my confused looks. "Adopted mom, but still your mother all the same." She looked at me sweetly. "Since Carlisle and I couldn't have children, we decided to adopt. First Edward, then Rosalie, then Emmet, Rosalie's mate, then Alice, Jasper, Bella, who is Edward's mate, Renesmee, Edward and Bella's daughter, and lastly, Angel, Jasper's mate."

All this information was too much to handle at once. There is more of them? The only thing I could croak out was, "Mate?"

"Oh, yes, dear. Mates. Your other half. Half of your soul. The person you will fall in love with for an eternity. Alice is the only one of our family without a mate though."

Sensory overload was way too much. I could barely hear them talk as everything around me darkened until I could see nothing. I could hear Alice scream my name as I let myself just fall asleep from too much... Information... Vampires... Mates... Diamond skin... And the last thoughts.

Alice is single.

Alright, I just finished this chapter and decided to upload it. Review.
