Ok, so I totally let you down on the update front, don't hate me, real life is a bugger right now, between trying to sort out placements for my level two electrics and all the drama that my life enfolds, my plot bunny decided to take a vacation, but now it's back, and better than ever, I hope you enjoy the next chapter. Please review and let me know if it's rubbish, and there's a little mention of nudity at the end, but nothing explicit. Hope you enjoy.

"What was that back in the clearing, why did you kill that boy?" Alice is the first to break the awkward silence that's hung in the air since we arrived back at the Cullen home, a mixture of pure interest and hurt in her tone, I can only assume it's because of the fact that I just drank fresh human blood, from the source.
"They were attacking me, I didn't want to hurt them, but when I saw Pete go to attack Kia I just snapped", Kelly's voice rings out the answer they all wanted, she didn't do it on purpose. "And what was that, when you were feeding, as far as I can tell, your based of us, vampires I mean, and we only ever share our food with our most loved" I'm not surprised that's it Carlisle that asks that question, his voice calm and collected as always, and giving a look to Esme at that last part, the only emotion there other than love for Esme being genuine curiosity, at least that I can pick up on.
I ponder what Carlisle asked for a minute, thinking over all the possibilities in the time take a normal human to breath, but before I can answer, Kelly beats me to it, "I honestly don't know the answer to that, only that my instincts went haywire and told me to do it, I'm sorry" she says, the last part aimed more at me then the Cullen's, looking around I notice that me and Kelly are still holding hands, and Alice is abnormally close to Jasper, like, were a couple, sort of close, maybe she lied to me when I first arrived, that can sorted out later Kia, think about the present right now.
Shaking my head from my thoughts I prepare to explain my theory as to the feeding thing, absentmindedly stroking Lara's head with my free hand. "I have a theory about that, but it's only a theory mind you" Carlisle gives me a look that I think means he wants me carry on talking, so I do. "Well, whenever I used to feed I always had this thing were I only wanted to take what I needed, but whoever I fed of off would have died either way, we don't need a lot of blood to both survive and thrive, only around 6 pints a week, Monday, Wednesday and Friday for me, so can't drink a human dry on our own, not if we've fed recently" at this point I look to Kelly, who hangs her head a little bit, I give her a reassuring squeeze on her hand, still encased within my own, letting her know it's ok "but the thing is our instincts won't let us waste any of the blood, so we can't drink it all, but we can't waste it either, I think that Kelly's instincts found that I was the same as her, and did the only thing it could think of doing in order to not waste food". As I say all that the Cullen's, even Alice, are looking at me as if I have grown another head, "I had nothing to do for months on end other than ponder my instincts" I say with a blush, Carlisle is the first to recover, "so Kelly's instincts had her share the blood with you, as to not waste it, it does hold merit" he says, thinking it over in his head, "can twenty questions part two wait until morning please, unlike you guys, I have to sleep" I ask, while trying to hide a yawn, Esme smiles at me and Kelly and nods her head, "would you like to stay here until we sort everything dear, it would be no trouble at all" Esme asks, smiling at Kelly, honestly, if I was a few centuries older I would totally try a woo that woman, Kelly just nods her head and replies, in a shy voice. "If it won't be any trouble" "none at all dear" she can sleep in the spare room, I'll settle down here with Lara, I'm sure she won't mind will you girl" just as I finish my sentence I feel Lara snuggle into me, and, as Kelly stands up to go to bed, force me into a lying down position on the sofa, laughing at her proving my point, I continue, "see, no problem".
I see both Esme and Kelly go to protest at the thought of me sleeping on the couch, it's Kelly who speaks first, directly to Esme "is it all right if…that is to say…I don't really want to be alone tonight, would it be ok if I stayed with Kia, only for tonight, it's just that I'm shaken up a bit" surprisingly Esme agrees with Kelly, "well I don't see why not, if Kia doesn't protest to it", like I would, "if it's what you want" is my reply, all the while Alice is giving death glares to me and Kelly, what's gotten into her?, I snap out of my internal musings just in time for Kelly to drag me upstairs and lay me down on the bed.
"I really, really like you Kia, it's like we were made for each other" she purrs, slowly crawling up the bed to rest so that her is covering mine, her beautiful red hair forming a barrier around our heads, "and I really want to thank you properly for helping me". "I don't do casual sex, it has to a relationship, and don't think you want that" I say to her, try to sound like this isn't the sexiest thing I've had happen to me, and failing on an epic level. "I do want that, with you Kia, and I know this is fast but where kindred spirits, and at least let me thank you", and with that she starts removing her clothes, and then mine, leaving us both naked and panting as our instincts take over, as we kiss, I realise that she's right, she understands, on level no one else can, what it's like to be completely different, from both vampire and human. "We're going to be amazing together Kia, I can tell" Kelly whisper's as she kisses me again.
Unknown to me at that second in time, a certain pixie was sat, not two doors away, dry sobbing, whispering so low that I don't think vampires could hear, "please, don't Kia, please".
Ok so I got you a cliff hanger, what will Kia do, I know it looks bad but you don't need to worry, Kia will be with Alice, it's inevitable and I know what happens next, you'll like it, I hope.
Till next time my readers.
