Hey guys! Oh dear, I'm updating like crazy, but I think that's a good thing for you guys. I have a pretty good idea where I'm going with the plot and all, but if you have any scenarios or other plans for this story, let me know, because I'm sure I might be able to twist it in somehow, any random funny ideas would be cool, I could use it as a small break from all the serious stuff in a chapter. Thanks anyways, and have fun reading, Cheers.

Alena POV

I didn't get to drive it too school; Emmett wanted to take me in his Jeep saying that it'd been a while since he saw the school. We all knew that was a total lie, and we all knew he was the one responsible for blowing up the Mathematics department in the last holidays, lucky, the school had it rebuilt immediately. As I got out of the car I saw Melody waiting for me on the same bench I sat at yesterday. Sitting next to her was … Spencer Randall. He wasn't looking at her or talking to her, unlike she was… he was staring at me. I walked over receiving a quick cheek kiss from Melody and we sat back down.

"Hey sweets, I have reservations for a restaurant down in Port Angeles, come with?" Spencer's voice cut in with Melody's babbling, which immediately stopped.

I looked at him, "Um, I don't know. I might have plans tonight."
I saw Spencer's eyes immediately latch onto the huge figure of Emmett driving away.

"With him…?" He gave me a knowing look and I gasped.

"Oh gross! He's my BROTHER!"

"Adoptive, we all know… something could be going on."
I slapped his arm, not that it did anything, "So? We're so close that it's so gross!"

He grinned, "Whatever works. So, Port tonight?"

I looked at Melody who shot me an encouraging look.

"Hmm, still, I have plans tonight. But if you have a reservation, why don't you take Melody?"

I looked back at Melody whose expression was a mix of awe, amazement and gratification.

"Uh…? Who is Melody?" Spencer's voice asked. Melody waved from behind me and he gave her an undressing look over.

"Okay, Melody… it's a date." He shot her his killer smirk and it looked as though she'd faint as he walked away.

"O. M. G! Thanks so much!! I owe you one big time!"

I waved it off, "No, don't worry about it. At least you won't be talking about that other guy from Port Angeles.

"Oh man, that other guy is way, way, way hotter than Spencer!"

I gently patted her shoulder, "What ever floats your boat sweetheart."

As Melody started to talk about the latest show on the television last night, I relayed the events of last night and this morning.

Flashback

"What is he doing here!?" Rosalie growled in clipped tones as we stepped out of the car and walked our way into the house.

I sighed, "Rose, please, just calm down. Aro let him stay here, with me. He's still a Volturi guard, just one working outside of Italy. It's quite convenient, if there's a problem close to here, Demetri can deal with it easily and quickly, and by the way, he only got here, it hasn't even been five minutes and you're already harassing him!"

Rosalie's brow furrowed, "Aro let him stay here, what about Esme? What about Carlisle? It's not like Aro owns this house!"

I opened my mouth to say something, try to calm her down or give her a piece of my mind, she was probably just thinking for the best, for safety for the family. I couldn't blame her, even I knew in all my reverence for Demetri that he was one of the most dangerous vampires alive. As I started to say something, another voice beat me to it.

"Demetri, you're welcome here." A calm voice stated. I smiled; of course I could count on Carlisle to settle any disputes.

"Thank you Carlisle." He said with a faint smile on his lips.

"But only on one condition will I allow you to stay here."

Demetri narrowed his eyes the slightest bit, my hand was on his arm and I felt him tense up.

"Go on." He said with tone low and cautious.

"It is our territory here in Forks, so you must abide to our hunting rules, and it's simple: No Humans."

Demetri's eyes widened so big, "What?"

Rosalie smirked as Carlisle explained, "You know our way of life, we don't kill humans, if you want to survive by human blood, I suggest that you choose another city to feed on. Of course, you are welcomed to hunt with us in the forests, but you must control yourself and not feed on a human. You never know, they could be Alena's friends."

He ran a hand over his face, he looked paler, aghast but determined, "Alright, I'll try"
Carlisle smiled, "Good, if you accidently slip up, that will be understandable, but if you kill deliberately, there are no second chances. Understood?"

Demetri sighed, "Yes, understood."

I cringed quietly to myself, I could sympathize. Demetri had been drinking human blood all his life, now he would have to try to survive with animal blood. That was like asking a T-Rex to eat an eggplant.

Later that night Demetri was sitting on my bed, watching as I dutifully completed my homework. I wished there was ways I could make this more interesting for him, but he'd answer back that he was already amused.

"Aren't you bored?"

"No."

"Then come and help me."

"I just worked with you five minutes ago, surely you can't be stuck."

I smiled, "No, I'm not stuck, just annoyed about how much homework I have."

He grinned. I turned the chair around and gazed at him, "So how do you know all about this stuff." I motioned to the unhelpful heap of 'junk' also know as homework that was scattered around the desk.

He shrugged, "I've been alive for a few thousand years, that's a lot of time to be given the opportunity to take classes, study thing."
"Right, what's the latest thing you studied?"

He smiled, "Philosophy."

I nodded, "Yeah, you lost me."

"When we have all the time in the world, you'll take a class with me."

I groaned, "Do I have to?"

He laughed, "Only if you want to."
A knock on the door sounded and I quietly gave permission for the vampire to come in. It was Emmett.

"Demetri, Edward, Jasper and I are heading out to Alaska to hunt. Wanna come?"

I laughed inwardly, even though Rosalie wasn't a fan of Demetri living here, Emmett was. It meant another person to tackle, arm wrestle, tell perverted jokes with, hunt and be a guy.

Demetri looked back at me and pursed his lips. His eyes were a dark onyx, over the day they'd gradually turned black and the purple bruises under his eyes grew more prominent.

"You need to hunt." I encouraged, I wanted him to try the Cullens way of life, I mean, blood was blood, and it couldn't be that horrible.

He sighed and looked back at Emmett, "What are there?"

Emmett grinned, "If Edward's lucky, some lions, there might be some bears out of hibernation, and there was lots of wolves."

Demetri's eyebrows raised, "Wolves? That doesn't sound too bad. They do try to produce quite a fight."

Emmett grinned; he knew he'd won over Demetri.

"Alright, well, we're going, and we'll probably be gone all night, so see you in the morning sis." Emmett grinned.

Demetri kissed my forehead before he followed Emmett and jumped out the window effortlessly and soundless.

End Flashback

Suddenly Melody stood up and gasped.

"Oh, my god! That's him! That's him!"

"Who's him?" Chloe's voice wandered over.

"The guy from Port Angeles! LOOK!"

I laughed with Chloe but we both obliged to look at Melody's so-called gorgeous person. First thing I saw as I stood up was a gorgeous black car in the car park, my car! Everyone was looking at it, or the person nonchalantly leaning on it. My eyes widened as I took in the figure leaning on the car. He was tall, even from a distance. Dressed in low hanging dark black jeans, a white button up shirt with the first two buttons unbuttoned and the sleeves rolled about his elbows. His face was down, staring at something on the ground, his head was covered with frosted brown hair and his skin was strangely pale, even in the cold temperatures of Forks.

"Oh god." I breathed.

"What's wrong?" Melody asked as she and Chloe looked at me.

"Bastard." I smiled, Stupid flaunting idiot.

"You know him?" Melody cried out.

At that moment, as if he was waiting for his cue, he looked up slowly. First his head drew up giving everyone a good look at his perfectly chiseled face, and then his eyes flickered in our direction. They weren't red. They were a deep bass brown. Nice contacts.

"Yeah, I met him in Italy."

"Italy, huh… seems like you neglected to tell me something." Chloe whispered in my ear.

He looked directly into my eyes; unfortunately, his brown eyes didn't have as good affect on me as his crimson eyes did. But I stood up anyway and walked over to him. He started to smile and walked over to me, Melody looked as though she were about to faint, Chloe was looking back and forth with wide eyes. These reactions were only two of what other people around the school was doing. As I quickly scanned the school, it didn't take me long to realize that most of the population of the school had decided to stop and stay still in their tracks to looked at this 'god' that walked into our school. Even with the purple bruises under his eyes and chalky parlor, he looked every inch intimidating and dangerous. Boys were whispering to each other and girls, well, they were a totally different story. Some were pointing straight at him, others were giggling, fixing up their hair, adjusting their tops to reveal somewhat more cleavage. Some others were at the extreme- pulling out their phones and taking as many pictures as they could. I couldn't blame them though; he was what you would call…. Beyond beautiful… He was dazzling, gorgeous, handsome, stunning and elegant. Those words could even describe the way he walked. It was almost a strut by now, but his gait seemed to resemble the prowling of a cat. A definite mark of danger, yet to subtle and elegant, almost like he was floating rather than walking… everything about him was astoundingly beautiful.

"Oh my god, he's coming for me!" Melody squealed. It seemed she'd forgotten all about the morning's earlier events with Spencer Randall.

"Erm, Melody, I don't think he's coming for you." Chloe interrupted her squeals; she then looked meaningfully to me.

The second he was within my grasp, I wanted to slap him for coming to the school, now he was going to ruin my day! I wouldn't be able to concentrate if he was going to be on my mind. But that idea of hitting him went down the drain as he strode too close to me and with a sly smile on his face, he gently pulled my chin towards him and then placed a tender kiss on my lips. As he pulled way, I felt like my lips were on fire yet cold at the same time.

"Hmm, I've wanted to do that ever since you left." His slightly accented voice drawled huskily in my ear. I giggled and drew him in a tight hug.

"Silly vampire," I whispered so only he could hear, "You saw me before you went hunting."

"That was a little too long ago." He whispered seductively into my ear causing me to shiver.

"Not really." I rebutted back.

Still, he kept whispering into my ear, holding me tight by my waist, "That's too long." He repeated.

"Ahem." A voice coughed behind us. Oh dear, Melody.

I turned around, trying to hide behind my brunette curtain of hair.

"Hello, Alena, are these your friends?" Demetri spoke in his accented voice. It sounded like honey, he was literally purring.

Melody's mouth almost dropped open, but she composed herself and straightened up.

"Uh, I… yes, we are Alena's friends. I'm Melody and this is Chloe."

He smiled his breathtaking smile; momentarily breaking through Melody's composed façade...again.

"Ah yes, Alena has told me a lot of you two."

"Really?" Chloe's concerned voice broke through, "Because she never mentioned you."

Demetri raised an eyebrow at me, "Really? Because we've been in a relationship for a whole year, give or take."
My stomach heaved and I felt like dancers were doing the samba inside me. I could feel myself blushing as Melody and Chloe gave me aghast looks.

"A whole year, you've been dating him for a whole year and you never told us?" Melody practically yelled.

I stood there, Demetri staring at me intently and Chloe and Melody giving me interrogating looks.

"I uh…I … whoops?"
"'Whoops' doesn't cover it! It looks like you have a lot of explaining to do!" Chloe gasped.

Demetri stepped in, thankfully.

"Ladies, I truly hope you don't mind, but I haven't seen Alena in a whole year, is it okay if I take her out?"

I coughed… what a liar.

"Getting on the friend's good side, oh, this guy is good." Melody breathed out a laugh.

"Oh please, Chloe, Melody, can you please cover for me? Please?"

Chloe sighed and gave me a quick hug, "Only because I expect a full report after."
I laughed, "Oh you're the best Clo."
Demetri helped me in the car and then sped off; I glanced out the window, wincing under the lustful stares of the other girls. I mean, how often do you see an ordinary girl drive off with Audi R8 and an Italian god? I looked back at my two friends, both giving me happy waves off.

"Where do you want to go love?" He smiled happily.

"Anywhere's fine, how did hunting go?" I asked in curiosity.

He grimaced as he carefully took out his contacts. As I saw the color of his eyes I gasped. They were not the blazing red I'd remembered, even though they were somewhat a shade of red, they looked so different! They were a color of a pale ruby red. Still shining and bright but pale.

"Oh, my god." I breathed out.

He glanced at his eyes in the rear-view mirror and narrowed them, "I know." He muttered.

I smiled to myself, "No, it's not that bad! I was just a lot more used to your old color. But this is good, Carlisle would've been proud for the control you possessed."

He sighed, "The hunting itself wasn't that bad, it was nice to have a victim that tried to fight back, it made the game a little more fun. And the blood, not the best but it was better than nothing. It just, it doesn't have the rich flavor human blood has." He sighed.

I smiled, "See it's not that bad."

He laughed, "Yes, because you'd know." He teased. I pouted and stuck my tongue out at him.

"One day I will." I said softly.

He looked thoughtful for a moment, opened him mouth then closed his mouth as if he were about to say something. He looked at me, and I felt like I really needed to know what he was saying.

"What?"

"Nothing, it's just that… actually, no, don't worry."

"No! Tell me! I want to know what's bothering you! Tell me what's bothering you, I want to know."

He laughed, "Hmm, you seemed to have a knack to wanting to know others thoughts, even more so in telling them your thoughts."

I crossed my arms, "So what? Not that it really matters! I mean what's so bad about telling people my thoughts, it's good for them to know what I want them to know, I mean-"

"Shh, silly girl does want to people to know what she thinks so much that she's starting to babble." He chuckled, more to himself than me.

"I can hear you." I hissed, not as well as I vampire.

He looked back at me, "I know."

I groaned, "Whatever! Just tell me what you wanted to say before, I promise I won't get angry."

He pursed his lips, "Uh, I seriously of doubt that."

I raised an eyebrow and touched his arm, he shivered heavily and I laughed, even though I felt the same thing. For a second I realized again how much I loved him, I would happily die for him. Do anything.

"Ok." He sighed.

I smiled and composed my face.

"Alena, I don't want you to turn into vampire just yet, in fact, not even soon."

I felt aghast and shocked. He looked sideways and reached out to touch my but I flinched back.

"What? Why?" I hoped he had a reasonable reason.

"I just, one, I want you to enjoy the rest of your human life, but if you really do want to be a vampire, please wait! Because I am, physically, twenty one, and you, well you do look your age. Eighteen, I want to be able to be a couple, to go out in public, but I also don't want to go arrested because I look like a pedophile."

I pressed a fist to my mouth in an effort to stop laughing.

"WHAT?!" I choked out between breaths.

He looked at me shocked, "I don't understand? You're not mad?"

I stopped, "Of course I am! But come on, the only thing you are worried about is looking to old for me?"

He nodded tentatively.

I sighed, "Pull the car over."

He gave me a questioning look, but being the gentleman he was, he asked no questions and pulled over waiting silently.

I leaned over and held his face in my hands; he tilted his head and closed his eyes so he was resting his head on my palms. I smiled and shifted myself the slightest bit so I more comfortable. I tilted his head up so he could see into the clear rear-view mirror. I shuffled myself into the view so both of us were in the rear-view mirror. I smiled and he opened his eyes. He was looking directly into the mirror, I was smiling and even though his face was straight, I could see a smile threatening to twitch his lips.

"See, how do we look?" I asked.

He smiled and pressed a gently kiss to my cheek, "Perfect, absolutely perfect."

I smiled and looked into the mirror, I started to squirm inside, I didn't look good, my hair was slightly tangled and I need to pluck my eyebrows. Some of my eyeliner was smudged and my cheeks looked flushed. Demetri on the other hand, flawless and perfect, only his eyes seemed to give away his timeless age to those who knew. His eyes were a pale, but somehow still bright red. The purple bruises under his eyes gave some proof of his age and his tired look. But the rest of him, sparkling in the sun that was beginning to seep through the trees and his strong bones define his face. One glance could make a girl's heart stop beating. And that's what mine was going to do … soon.

I twisted my lips, "Me, meh. You, yes, you are perfect."

He sighed, "All your flaws are the things that make you perfect."

I smiled, he was too perfect.

He flicked the controls and turned the car so we were heading in the right direction home so smoothly all in the same second.

"Let's go." He smiled.

--

As soon as we reached home I saw Rosalie in the front yard, fixing her bright red convertible. Her perfect legs stuck out from under the car, glistening in the sun. I liked home, the one place my family didn't have to hide. As soon as my car purred into view she zoomed out, a fierce look on her face, I groaned, poor Demetri, I tried to will him with my mind in a way to tell him NOT to get out of the car. Too bad I wasn't telepathic.

"God Demetri, first you crash our home, now you take her out of school!" She hissed.

He sighed, "I haven't seen in her a year." He looked at her with a plea in his eyes

With a guttural growl she narrowed her eyes, "I don't care! You have no right to take her out of school, maybe not in your somewhat misguided world, but here, that's called kidnapping!"

He gasped in an obvious attempt to hold back a hiss, even in the presence of a woman like Rosalie who never made an effort to hold back her thoughts about him, he was too polite.

The wind changed course and faintly in my mind I vaguely saw that Rosalie was determined to keep on her argument. It happened all so quickly, Demetri gasped, his back straightening up. Rosalie stopped talking for a second and assessed his sudden movement.

"What are you…?" Rosalie wondered, but he didn't answer as he shot away leaving me and Rosalie completely dumbfounded.

The wind changed again and her eyes widened, she hissed, so loudly I cringed. Her back faced me and by instinct, I felt that I should move backwards…

She walked forward, her moves scaring me slightly; it was times like these that actually scared me, when they looked most like vampires, even though I found it slightly intriguing. The wind blew icily and shivers fell on my arms, goose bumps sparking. I bit my lip and held my breath in certain worry as I noticed that Rosalie was a little too far ahead of me than I hoped. She was stalking forward, her legs tense and prowling. Her fingers were extended.

Nothing happened.

She looked around and then slowly putting her arms down. She turned back to me with a confused look on her face. Then, suddenly! Out of nowhere, a flash appeared. Living with vampire slightly trained my eyes to look sharper. I gasped as I saw a vampire shoot out. It was head straight for Rosalie! It was dressed in faded jeans and a scruffy shirt. Teeth were bared, fingers clawed out. His eyes were so bright, with fury, anger and determination. His blonde, almost white hair was clawed by the wind as he ran forward with frightening speed. It was almost upon her, this all happening in less than two seconds. A scared look came upon her face and just as the terrible creature was upon her as she was trying to turn around.

Suddenly another flash appeared and a loud snarl erupted so loudly the trees shook slightly. I saw it was Demetri; he'd been hiding in wait! Just as the creature was upon Rose he shot a new burst of speed and pushed her safely out of the wait and then struck his hands out at the creature. It slammed loudly into his hands, the deafening sound of boulders smashing together sounding! The creature growled and leapt back. It fluttered its eyes to Demetri, immediately wary. He paced himself a safe distance and hissed, fingers extending. His movements backwards was a little clumsy, but he soon up-righted himself and faced Demetri.

Demetri was crouched low, his teeth curled frighteningly over his teeth, fingers mimicking the same as the rouge vampire. His hair was messed up by the wind and his legs were spread apart, bent. They circled, but not without Demetri stopping him from getting close to Rosalie or me. The vampire with the brilliant red eyes rolled its head back and gave a Roar. A lump was stuck in my throat, I reluctantly swallowed, fearing that every moment I made would cause me to miss something in this glorious yet inhumane fight. I watched in guilty interest and fear as the Newborn lashed out at Demetri, trying to find a plot hole and get past Demetri. Demetri wouldn't let him. At one point, the newborn almost got past Demetri, making Demetri loose his temper. The newborn might have had skills of speed and strength, but Demetri also had skill of speed and strength, and the centuries of experience behind it. The newborn pushed past Demetri in head in the direction of Rosalie. Demetri snarled again and let the newborn run past him. I gasped, the lump in my throat feeling more uncomfortable and it started to choke. What was Demetri doing? Letting him go? Wait! Don't worry, Demetri watched him go for a meter or so then a rumble can from his chest and he darted forward. Wow! He was fast, fast enough to catch up to the newborn! That was maybe faster than Edward! He leapt onto his back, sending the newborn spiraling on the floor. With fire in his eyes Demetri came and sunk his teeth into the creature's neck. The newborn yelled out in anger and pain as the razor sharp teeth bound to his neck. The immortal only stopped screaming when Demetri ripped his head clean off. It bounced away. Next came the arms, then the legs. Demetri stood up and looked at us. His mouth was dripping slightly, venom? His hair was wild and ligaments tense. My breathing was annoyingly heavy and deep. It took me a moment before I realized that I was actually hyperventilating! He spat something about and wiped his mouth. He came a little closer, his hands held up in a surrender position.

"It's okay. I won't hurt you." He called out.

I heaved a heavier breath and let it out; thankfully, my breathing evened out and became softer. I swallowed and sighed. I wasn't scared, I was actually intrigued with the fight, so sad it had to end so quickly.

"No, it's okay." I smiled.

He frowned, "I beg your pardon?"

I grinned, "Nice fight."

He was in front of me in an instant, "You weren't scared?"

I chuckled, "No, it was so interesting to see a fight firsthand."

He looked at me in utter surprise, "You are by far, the strangest, most unpredictable human ever!" He laughed as he hugged me in his chest. I smiled and leaned back wiping something of his chin that resembled saliva, though a little more diluted.

"What's this?" I asked with a slight laugh as I wiped it on his shirt sleeve.

His eyes opened a little wider and he had the decency to look somewhat embarrassed.

"Venom." Rosalie's voice rang out.

I studied the venom on his shirt. He huffed knowing what I was thinking.

"I'd rather you weren't so desperate to become a monster like me, desperate enough to lick my shirt." He said, sounding a little annoyed.

I looked back at Rosalie, with a tortured look on her face she walked forward.

"Demetri." She sighed out.

He turned around and looked back at her, "Yes?" Mm, ultra-sexy-polite-vampire, what was even better, he was all mine.

Her hands were shoved in her bottom pockets, "I just wanted to say, thank you. I never would have gotten around in time. I'm so fortunate you were there." She said with a tinge of regret in her voice.

He smiled, "That's not a problem Rosalie."

She smiled, "I owe you one."

I grinned, "Are you guys' friends now?"

They both looked back at me with wide and surprised eyes.

"No!" They both answered at the same time.

I laughed, and then added a rueful grin. They weren't friends yet, but we'd work on that.

"Oh one day you will be," I chided with a cheeky grin, "One day."
