Stephenie Meyer owns Twilight, not me. The Carpathian universe and everything within it belongs to Christine Feehan. I do not own their sagas. Note: To all readers of my story. I am a bad speller, for that I am sorry. I write my story to help my spelling and reading. I would like to thank you for reading.

If you have some ideas for my story please contact me through the private mail box. I have a very good Beta Dita5000!

Thank you

Chapter 7: shopping and money.

Alice P.O.V

Hi. I am Alice Dubinsky. (Maiden name is Breaded.) I am married to Jasper Dubinsky. He is 2nd in line to the throne of the Carpathian Empire. I am 25 years old and the best friend of Bella Swan now Bella Dubinsky. I was once her roommate and told her all about the Carpathians. For I saw that she would be a life mate to a Carpathian male, but she was not going to be the life mate of just any Carpathian male. No Bella was going to and is the life mate of my brother-in-law, the Crown Prince of all the Carpathian people, Edward Dubinsky.

Oh I forgot to tell you, that I can see the future. But the future I see is only based on acts/actions and sometimes destiny. With Bella it was destiny. For a life mate is your only one mate for all time. There is no one else for them. Where the men of the Carpathian people lose the ability to see color over time and by the time 1000 years pass have lost the ability to feel; people like Bella see too much color and feel too much. She has always been a feminist but she's been a feminist with a big heart. Covering people's shifts when she was dead tired and dodging men like Mike Newton at work.

While people like Bella, the life mate's, narrow life looking for their soul mate, we Carpathians expand our horizons looking for and believing that our Carpathian males will find their life mate for all that leads a Carpathian male's life before meeting their life mate is their principle and/or their honor. They have to constantly fight the best in side them a.k.a. their VAMPIRE from within themselves.

But it is hard for them for without the light / life mate to show them the way of good or all that is right. They will let the drinker/ vampire within take over their body. At that time the Carpathian man will kill any one regardless of whether they are man, woman or child to get to one thing. That one thing is their blood. At that time we call that Carpathian a vampire. This is what we call tuning. As you can see it is a bad thing. At this time, there is no going back for the vampire. For the newly turned vampire has lost their entire honor.

Also by kill others the vampire has lost the right to have a life mate. For 99% of vampires kill their life mates. Then the vampire out of the madness of losing his life mate will try to steal the life mate of other Carpathian males. They steal other male's life mates in an attempt to be happy and to find love. Another way to look at that situation is that the vampire thinks that the life mate they are stealing is theirs when in fact they are not.

A vampire is like a human who is mad/ insane. However, unlike humans the only way to deal with a vampire is to kill them. (an. I am not trying to put insane people down nor is this my view on insane people. I apologize if anyone is offended by this sentence. It is the view of the people Christine Feehan's Dark series. Theist people are not real. est.)

Ring… ring… Ring… My cell went off distracting me from my deep thoughts about us Carpathians.

"Hello, Bella, how are you doing tonight? Are you and Edward up for some shopping with me and Jasper?" I asked her with a smile as I imagined her sitting on her new bed or maybe a chair at her new dining table oohing and awing at her new life style and its perks.

"Hello, Alice. I am fine. Yes Edward and I are up for shopping. With you and Jasper, if he shops like you I'm not too sure. Why dose our life mate need to be whit us 24 hours a night Alice?" Bella asked and I tried to fight back my laughter at her obvious annoyance.

"Oh, I forgot to tell that huh? If we are away from our life mate for some time, like 2 hours or more we will begin to feel pain. Also, if we can't mind speak with them for a period of time it can get bad. If we cannot get to them in 5 hours we can die from the pain of not being with them. How are you?" I inquired knowing that for a feminist like Bella this life style would be very hard but, once she learned to make it work for her she was going to enjoy this life.

"Thank for the inform Alice," Bella replied with a tone that did nothing to help hid her agitation with me. "How am I? You throw a bomb on me like that and all you can ask is how I am?" Bella exploded but I had the phone away from my ear thanks to my little gift.

"Did you need any more information?" I asked Bella as if she hadn't just screamed into my ear.

"No, Edward is helping me through all the Carpathian things. Thanks Alice. What time are you and Jasper coming by the house?" Bella asked with a very exhausted and agitated sigh.

"We will be there at 8:00 pm. It is 7:00 pm now so we'll be there in an hour. Dress appropriately, by my standards, or I'll just dress you up when I get there." I said leaving no room for her to bitch about how she can dress herself and what not.

"Alice, are you flying and talking on your cell phone? You know you shouldn't be doing that. What if you end up flying into someone else?" Bella inquired causing both of us to laugh.

"Calm down Bella. A) Jasper would never let me fly in to someone else, B) I would see if anyone wound up in my path with my gift, and C) I am on Jasper's back so he is flying not me." I said as I rolled my eyes at her.

"Ok see you in a few, bye Alice." Bella said quickly before hanging up the phone.

"Bye Bella." I replied ending the phone call and putting my cell into my purse.

Jasper can you go faster? - Alice

I'll try my best love.-Jasper

You know. We, Carpathian, don't need human necessities such as food or clothes. We only need blood. So, shopping for clothes is a bit pointless. We can make anything especially clothes. -Jasper

Can we pleas just buy our clothes please.-Alice.

Yes love. Whatever, you wish. I have a lot of money in the bank.-Jasper

Thank you, Jazz. I love, love, love, lo~ove you -Alice

Ha-ha ha-ha-ha ha- ha- ha. I love you to. My life mate.-Jasper
