Chapter Nine: Going down to the Bottom
Alec's Part of View
It has been days since he had seen Sara. He had tried to avoid her at all cost and it had seemed to work. Even though she had come by numerous times and knocked on his door, he never went to the door. He sat in his chair and looked out the window. Every one in the house thought he was by himself, but he knew that he wasn't. He had a bottle scotch that kept him company.
He knew that he look horrible, but he could care less. He was in love with a woman that would never feel the same way for him. He hadn't showered in days, he smelled of scotch and he hadn't fed in what seemed like a eternity.
Hearing a knock at the door he swallowed the rest of his drink and walked to the door. He expected it to be Sara at the other end of the door, but was surprised to see Aro standing there. Aro wasn't the tallest vampire but you knew not to push Aro.
"Alec we need to talk."
Knowing what Aro was going to say, he was in no big hurry to get talk to him. "I'll be down in a minute Aro."
"No! We talk now Alec."
Looking up at Aro's face, it was clear to Alec that Aro was not in a mood to be told what to do. But Alec could care less, he had nothing to live for anymore. He had found his love and she could care less about him. The sooner he pissed of Aro and was killed, the sooner he could end his nightmare.
"I know what you are trying to do Alec, and I want you to know that it is not going to work. I can never kill you. To me you are my son that I never had. You are dear to me, just as much as Jane and Felix are. So if you insist of trying to get yourself killed by me you might as well be a man and stop this nonsense. You smell repulsive and you need to eat."
Alec's heart swelled when he Alec's word had finally sunk in. Alec had something that cared about him enough to actually yell at him, to tell him what to do. But what did that matter, Aro was like a father. He didn't have another person to share with, or be with forever. For a nano of a second, Alec actually wished he was human. Humans forgot so easily, their scars could be healed. While Alec would always have a whole in chest from where Sara had dug her way into and had left it a empty shell. Angry that Aro had even let Felix change her and let alone keep her in the coven made him furious. If Aro had never let her in, the Alec would have never met her and he wouldn't feel this feeling, whatever this feeling was.
"Aro please get out of my room", asked Alec as calmly as possibly.
Aro looked up and then calmly walked back out of Alec's room. Alec could now go back to his friend. The friend that would never leave him, and when it got empty there was always a refill.
