Oh yeah, and thanks to McKenzie8463 for the awesome idea!
And just before I forget it, I'm going to change the title of this story...Ideas and suggestions are a must. And if I like your suggested title, Alec will come to your house and watch you sleep. Hahahaha:)))
Alec POV
I drove the car faster. It was a dark blue Bugatti Veyron and I had it shipped from Italy three weeks before. Shayna sat beside me, looking terrified as Washington's terrain flew past by us. I wasn't really following the speed limit. More like the vampire's speed limit.
Taking my hand off the wheel for a second, I stroked Shayna's cheek. "I'm sorry, do you want me to slow down?"
She looked at me. "Obviously,"
I laughed and took my foot off the gas pedal for a little bit. As I did it, I held Shayna's hand, massaging it slowly to ease the tension away. We were nearing Forks, just a few more miles. I didn't really know where the Cullens' house was located but I could just follow their scent.
"Alec..." Shayna whispered
"Yes, love?"
"What if...they don't like me?"
I smiled at her. I had been smiling a lot lately, a lot more than my grins put together from the time I was born up to the day before I had seen Shayna. "Trust me Angel, they love humans. They don't drink human blood but animal blood. And one of them, Edward Cullen, married a human, Bella Swan. I told you about our encounter with them last winter, didn't I?"
She nodded. "But I didn't understand,"
I squeezed her hand gently. "Think of it this way, Edward got Bella pregnant when she was still human resulting in a half-vampire and half-human baby named Reenesme. She's a hybrid, meaning she inherited both vampire and human traits."
"But why did you want to kill her?"
"Let's just say that we thought she was a danger to our society. We can't really have the whole world on our backs." We passed a sign that read 'Welcome to Forks'. We were nearing the Cullen house, I could already smell their scent.
Shayna looked at me interestedly. "How come you're breathing deeply? You said that you didn't have to breathe."
I withdrew my hand from her and stroked her face. "I'm smelling their scent so that I could follow it up to their house,"
I turned a corner sharply and there we were, in front of the Cullens' mansion. It was nestled a couple of miles from a river, surrounded by tall trees and a number of plants. I knew why they wanted to be here, living too close with humans might tempt them so they lived near animals.
I killed the engine and got out of the car, opening the passenger door and helping Shayna get out. "Don't worry, it will be alright." I kissed her forehead and held her hand as we approached the front door. Before I could even knock, the door opened and Carlisle Cullen stood there. Damn, I forgot about Edward's ability.
"Alec Volturi? Um, yes...please come in and..." he looked speechless. I guess that mind-reader didn't tell them my reasons. That would make it harder to explain. But they had a little experience with Edward and Bella so I guess my request wouldn't be too hard to understand...I hope.
"Thank you Carlisle, and this is Shayna." I wrapped my arm around Shayna's shoulders as she smiled at Carlisle politely
Carlisle ushered us in and led us to the living room. The vampire with the caramel-colored hair, Esme, stood by the fireplace with a motherly smile. The one that could control emotions and the pixie who could see the future, Alice and Jasper, were sitting on the couch, staring at Shayna interestedly. Bella, Edward and Reneesme were on the floor, playing with what looked to be mangled spoons. The big one and the blonde one were hovering protectively over the hybrid.
"You know, Alec, you should really stop calling us names like that. Especially since you need us to do something for you," Edward said conversationally without even looking up from the spoon he was twisting into the shape of a dog.
"I'm sorry," I said politely, "I'm used to the Volturi calling you names like that."
"Alec? Would your friend like to sit down?" Esme was suddenly beside us, smiling at Shayna. "I'm Esme, by the way."
"Oh no, it's okay. Um, I'm Shayna."
"So," Carlisle cleared his throat, "What exactly are you here for, Alec?"
I bit my lip. "I know you probably don't want me here, but I need Shayna to be safe and this was the first place I could think of. I know that you don't really drink human blood and so does the Denali clan but they are a little anti-Volturi right now since that accident with Irina. I'll do anything so that you could keep her safe...please..."
I saw Alice raise her eyebrows and her facial expression suddenly blanked out.
"What is it, Alice?" Jasper asked urgently
Alice's features returned to normal and she gave a trilling laugh. "You won't believe me but Alec is in love with Shayna!"
"Yeah? So? What if I am?" I said defensively
"Calm down, dude. It's just that...it was a little bit unexpected," Emmett grinned at me
Carlisle stepped forward. "Of course you can stay here Alec but on one condition. You must change your diet from human to animal. We don't really entertain vampires with a taste for human blood in here."
I nodded. Well that was easy. "That was the plan all along,"
"Alec, I know that Shayna is very tired and we have an extra room upstairs. Here, I'll show you. And Shayna, Do you have any clothes with you?"
Shayna shook her head. "We had to leave Volterra very quickly,"
"Well no matter. I believe you are just right for Bella's size,"
Bella snorted from below. "Don't bother, Esme. Alice is going shopping in a minute and she'll probably but Shayna a whole new wardrobe. But if you want to give my clothes to the homeless people, I will raise no objections,"
Esme laughed and took hold of Shayna's arm, leading her to our room upstairs. I gulped, our room...
Carlisle sat down on the floor beside Reneesme. "Sit down, Alec. We aren't going to bite!"
I sat down obediently beside Jasper.
"You need us to do one more thing, huh?" Jasper asked quietly
"Yes," I muttered, "When the time comes, I want you to change her."
"Why won't you do it yourself?" Emmett demanded
"I won't be able to stop...I might...kill her," I whispered. I was horrified that I could even think that thought but I knew it was true. I could resist Shayna's blood for now but what would happen if I sank my fangs in her neck? Would I be able to stop long enough for her to transform?
"Alec, if you don't mind me asking...why is she so important to you?" Jasper asked curiously
I looked up, eyes blazing. "Have you ever wondered about living a life without anything. No food, no water, no family, nothing? I fear that without her, I would be like that. For 400 years, I lived like that in Italy. It was only when I met her that my life became more...meaningful..."
"Alec? She's asking for you?" Esme suddenly called from upstairs
Without another word to the Cullens, I ran upstairs, passing by Esme and following Shayna's scent to a big room. The room was huge, with a gold and red carpet and a four-poster bed. It already had an empty wardrobe, a couch, and even a television and computer.
Holy shit...one room...with me and Shayna...alone...Crap...she looked hot in sweats and an oversize shirt...fuck...
