Hunting?

"Damian, I really am fine, I don't feel thirsty at all!" I insisted as we came closer and closer to the local park. I pulled on his arm sharply, bringing him to a halt instantly. He glared at me briefly and opened his mouth to protest. "Really I'm not," I coaxed, as I turned around and headed back to the hotel before he could protest much more.

"Your funeral," he muttered behind me as he slung his arm around my shoulder casually. I giggled stupidly as Damian led me up the stairs. I pranced into the room to see Abi still holding the dress lovingly.

"What?" I asked as I plucked the fabric out of his grasp. "Don't you trust me with it?" I skipped into the bedroom as Damian leaned towards Abi and began whispering the events into his ear.

I shimmied out of my clothes and into the new dress, admiring at how the powder blue fabric clung to my figure. I raked a brush through my brush haphazardly and admired myself in the mirror. A wave of burning thirst washed over me painfully as I made my way to the door. Maybe I should have listened to Damian, I thought as I joined my two companions in the sitting room.

"Ready," I called in a shaky voice as I hooked my arms with Damian and Abi and led them out the door.

"Alice, we are telling you as your friends that you might want to consider really hunting, as in humans tonight." Abi suggested as we walked down the stairs and left the hotel. "We can go to a bar and I heard that there are a lot of single men who would do anything to get you alone. What they don't know is that you will have the upper hand this time." Abi hailed a taxi as I thought about this idea.

"Maybe it wouldn't hurt just this time," I agreed as I leaned against Damian and watched the passing city. "Just one though." I added as Abi paid the driver and helped me get out of the cab.

I grabbed both of their arms again and glided into the bar gracefully. As soon as we entered the half-lit room, Damian broke off to flirt with a young lady drinking alone at the bar. I saw his teeth flash brilliantly and smiled as Abi left to do the same with a young blonde sitting in the middle of a group of men. I stood there for a few minutes, watching my friends flirt and capture their next dinner.

"Excuse me miss?" A voice said from behind me, interrupting my thoughts. "Would you like a drink?" I turned to see a young man holding out what looked like a gin and tonic in his deep brown hand. His hair was a dark brown and his eyes flashed green in the light around us.

I looked around to see Damian and Abi both nodding at me encouragingly. I turned my eyes on the man and flashed my brightest smile dazzling him momentarily. "May I ask your name?" I asked, steering him lightly out the door, trying not to make too much contact with him. My cold skin would only scare him I reminded myself as Damian began to edge closer to me.

"Rodger," He supplied as we headed out the door. "Where do you want to go? There is a secluded garden next to the forest a half a block away, do you mind walking?" I shook my head as a light breeze blew his scent in my direction. I stiffened momentarily as the thirst reared in my throat, burning control out of my mind.

"Abi, why don't you take your date and meet me outside, I would like to show Julia the garden half a block away." I dragged the young brunette clinging to my sleeved arm out the door, leading her in the opposite direction than my Alice had led that insolent human to give her more time. Why am I so jealous? I thought to myself as I waited patiently for my brother. The girl, Julia, began to feel my arm, the steely muscles undoubtedly shocking her. I smiled at her, thinking of how lucky she probably thought she was right now. Ha, little does she know, I thought grimly as Abi headed towards us, his dinner in tow.

GET CONTROL OF YOURSELF, ALICE! I thought brutally as I jerked my head back from his throat. I can't kill him till we are in private. I smiled weakly as he began murmuring in what he must have thought a sexy, appealing voice.

"Don't be afraid, baby." He mumbled, his breath stinking of alcohol. "I know what I am doing." He leaned into the open air as I sidestepped him, leading him farther into the gardens.

"Come find me," I giggled, my voice sounding like bells. "I will be in the gazebo." I danced through the garden and appeared in the gazebo minutes before Rodger. He sidled up next to me, the thirst roaring in my throat, notifying me of his arrival as soon as my ears registered his footsteps.

He sat down next to me, and I leaned in caressing his throat with my ice cold hand. He shivered delightedly as I leaned in to smell the blood pulsing at his throat. I placed my lips gently at the base of his throat not biting but feeling the blood accelerate on my lips. Rodger grabbed my face, and reluctantly I pulled my head up to meet his. He leaned into me, his lips touching mine for a moment before I jerked my head to his throat.

My teeth sliced through his jugular cleanly before he could utter more than a moan. The taste sweeter than candy danced over my tongue as I drank deeper and more pleasurably than I could have thought possible. I can't believe I am doing this I thought dimly as I pulled my head away from the body. The dimming thirst pulled me back under the blanket of animal senses. My lips searched for blood still left in the body and it wasn't until every last drop was gone that I returned to my senses.

"Alice? Are you done?" Damian called quietly as I lit a match I had been carrying in my small clutch I had found back in the bedroom.

"Yes," I replied as I threw the lit match onto the bloodless body, wincing as the body went up in flames. I walked over to Damian and Abi, leading their dinners into the garden. I shook my head as I led them towards the garden.

"There is already a couple in there," I explained as the two girls glared at me with undisguised hate. "I assume that you gentlemen don't want to be disturbed when you are done I will be deeper in the forest. I cast a meaningful glance at the pathway leading in the opposite direction than the clearing that Damian and Abi were heading. "Finish up quick," I said, too low for human ears. "I want to go home soon." They nodded subtly as I disappeared into the darkened forest.

I had made it ten steps before a vision overcame me freezing me in my tracks.

I was running through the forest the sounds of the night rushing by me. Footsteps ahead began to slow as a young female began to sob.

"Please, don't hurt me!" She cried as I stopped in front of her.

"Why would I kill you?" I asked as casually as I could. "I just wanted to see if you are all right, you seemed frightened."

"I was," she gasped.

The picture faded from my mind bringing me back to the present. I just changed the future! I thought wildly as I sat down and curled up, waiting for my boys to come find me.

"Isn't that strange?" I exclaimed to a moth fluttering in front of me. "I can actually do some good even if I did kill that man, maybe I can avoid something like that all together next time." Isn't that strange…

A/N: Next chapter will be more about Abi's past and I might introduce another character…who knows. Until next time,
