Due to the many promptings of PM's and revies over the past two years, I've decided to give you guys a break and update. I'm afraid it isn't much though because i
only have half an hour to write this, ENJOY!!
Prince Alex
I knew I would regret letting Edward dive my car the moment I got in the passenger's seat. Edward had convinced me to let him use my car to participate in race that his entire family was having. Even Carlisle and Esme were participating in this event. Everyone had paired off into groups of two and had chosen what car they wanted to drive. Everyone was going to meet at the road where Forks ended then gun it all the way to Phoenix so they could see the Guys.
As soon as I buckled my seat belt we were off. It wasn't that bad, he was only going fifty when we reached the meeting point. I saw that everyone was already there and waiting for us. We lined up and had a countdown. The very second we reached zero Edward pushed my poor Jaguar to the max, going from zero to two-hundred in a matter of seconds. I clutched my seat in terror. Over the years, while my like for going fast had increased due to my ability not to trip over air—my interest had drawn the line at one hundred mph, unless certain circumstances were applied.
"Edward, if you damage this car David is going to kill you. This is his baby." I never quite understood the obsession with cars that the male species seem to have. I could come home from a fight completely banged up and David would worry about me for like a day. But heaven forbid his precious baby gets the tiniest microscopic scratch on it. I got the whole Vampyre equal speed thing, living males I don't think I will ever understand them.
"Relax Alex, I do have a baby of my own, I wouldn't do that to someone else's baby." I turned to look at Edward, my eyebrows raised.
"Then why on earth did you want to take my car?"
"Because yours is faster." Of course. It all comes down to the speed factor. It took me about three seconds to realize that as Edward said this he was looking straight at me. He was looking at me while David's car was going over two hundred mph. Even worse, he was looking at me while David's car was going over two hundred mph in the middle of a Vampyre speed race to go see David.
"Keep your eyes on the frickin' road before I make you keep them there, Edward! Weren't you listening to me when I said this was David's baby!" I practically screamed at him. "Keep this up and David will chew me out for letting you run his car like this, and when that happens I'll send you a migraine headache so bad you'll wish human medicine worked on you!"
He chuckled "Calm down, Alex. It's not like I can't fix anything that happens to this car, and besides, it's not like I can't buy him a new one if I total this one," his eyes were alight with laughter, and he was smirking slightly. "Not to worry, my dear Alex. I have never once gotten into a car crash. I have a spotless record, after all I've been around since cars were invented I think that after all these years I'll know how to recklessly drive one without killing myself or those around me on accident.
I turned to look out the window and a car zoomed by. I caught a glimpse of what I thought was Rosalie and Emmet. I heard Edward swear and mutter under his breath about "stupid girls who play with cars," I was slightly offended by this. After all, I didn't know crap about anything with wheels and a motor, besides the obvious driving that is. Another car zoomed by. This time it was Carlisle and Esme. It was then that I remembered something very important about David's car: because he rarely used it for fear of getting it scratched, he'd never once replaced the oil or water in his car since he bought it. The gas must've been pretty ancient too. I must've had a look on my face, because the next thing I knew, Edward asked the golden question.
"What haven't you told me about this car?" he asked curiously. Damn, I must've let part of my thoughts slip through. I had to tell him now.
"Don't be angry, but I just remembered something about David's car," I said with a resigned sigh.
"What is it? Is it something bad?" he wanted to know. 'It's gotta be that guy-car thing, that girls just don't pick up on' I thought
"Because this car is David's baby he;s afraid of getting it scratched, and because he was so afraid of getting it scratched it's only been used a few times here and there. I don't think he's changed the water or the oil since he bought this thing. The gas in this car must be pretty ancient too."
He groaned despairingly. "We're definitely going to lose now." Just then an idea popped into my head. Nowhere in the rules did it say we had to play fair. I knew the Guy's place well enough that I could transport Edward, myself, and the car there and still have time to spare before the others managed to locate the house.
"Edward, stop the car," I said slowly. He looked at me like I was crazy, a look I've been getting used to receiving.
"Are you crazy? If what you told ,me was true then we'll be hitting some problems soon and I don't know what I'll be able to do when that happens."
"Edward, if you don't wish for me to force you to stop the car then do it of your own free will. NOW!" The car skidded to a halt. "Good, now close your eyes, and whatever you do don't open them if you want to stay in the condition you are currently in." He did as he was told, and I closed my eyes and focused on picturing my home, exactly where I wanted us to land. I hoped no one would be in that area currently because I'm sure that neither David, Sean, Zach, Jason, or Brendon would appreciate being squished by a car—especially David's car, even if it wouldn't do any damage that wouldn't heal in a couple of days.
Yes I am aware that there are grammer and spelling errors in this chapter!!
