Chapter 7: Heading out in the night...
DISCLAIMER: i DONT OWN TWILIGHT AND SERIOUSLY STOP HOUNDING ME PEOPLE ALEC WILL COME BACK!
Sunday night, the most boring day in a weekend. I finished all my homework in like five minute, so now I'm reduceed to sitting in Carlisle's study and reading while he works. I do this sometimes when I've run out of things to read, it's nice talking to Carlisle. I usually peer over at his work and see what he's doing as well, it's interesting to see the weird illness some people get. I sat on the floor crosslegged next to the bookshelf, reading an encyclopedia on frog related sicknesses. It was actually quite interesting, who am I kidding? It's boring as hell.
"Have you heard from Alec?" Carlisle asked from his desk. I shook my head.
"It's been a week, I'm really worried Carlisle." I said, getting up to sit next to him. Carlisle scratched his chin, seemingly thinking.
"Yes I will agree, it's not natural. I have a feeling Aro has something to do with it, he has been known to be very controlling." Carlisle informed.
"I just don't see why Jane or Alec doesn't just take over, they're so much powerful..." I said dejectedly.
"Aro is their saviour and father to them, it is out of respect more than anything else. They know many people want them dead because like you, they are extremely powerful for our kind. They know its the smart thing to do." Carlisle explained. I nodded I guess it makes sense but...
"Then why does Alec always take charge of things, like that time he suggested we all do a group training session for our powers?" I asked. Carlisle chuckled, as if remebering a fond memory.
"Let me tell you I've known Alec since he joined the volturi, even then the only people who really know him well are Jane and Aro. Of course now you as well. Alec is a mystery to all of us, Edward says his mind is very hard to read as he stores things away. The only thing I really know of Alec is that he has a quiet confidence which just makes people listen to him. I think it's very interesting when he speaks, seeing as he doesn't do a lot of talking. He was quite shy as a human apparently and when he was a newborn, it was only when he was one hundred that he started set himself apart." Carlisle said. I smiled slightly to myself, remembering the cold and emotionless Alec.
"It's hard to think of him like that..." I said sarcastically. Carlisle laughed heartily, making me giggle too.
"Yes you are a very special type of person, managing to annoy someone so much they literally fall in love with you. I've never seen that in mates in all my lifetime." Carlisle joked. " You two are perfectly fitted for each other..."
"What did you think of me when you first met me?" I asked genuinely curious. He smiled.
" Well when I saw you, I knew you had been through a rough time. Even before you're parents died. You looked so still but even then I could hear your heart fighting to have a few more beats. You looked like a little angel but I knew you were a fighter, you had determination written all over the way your system fought. When you woke up, you clearly were defensive and a joker. I could tell you would slot in perfectly with us, you would listen to Rosalie, you would tease Edward, learn with Jasper, be Alice's doll, joke with Emmett, help Esme and you would always be there for Renesmee. But above all I knew, you were a kind person. Someone with a good soul." Carlisle finished. I smiled and attacked Carlisle in a hug, causing him to laugh and hug me back.
"Thanks Carlisle, I love ya too!" I said. He chuckled and kissed my head, releasing me. " Hey can I go for a walk, I need to move around." He nodded and smiled, bidding me farewell as I exited his study. I skipped downstairs, feeling elated for the first time. I slipped through the back door and into the forest...
