How you doin'? So…yeah this is gonna get a little hot for you Claude and Alexandra fans. Be warned ye virgin eyes! Lol, jk. It won't get that hot and heavy. The story is rated T remember? :P
-Fallon-
I wanted nothing more than to help kill that son of a bitch. Alex was curled up against her father's body while crying silently to herself. Her face was hidden within his chest so that no one could see her weakness. She hated when she cried in front of people. To her it showed weakness, to us it showed that she was still human. I knew the family would kill for the ability to show emotion like that. I looked over at Gabriel who was staring daggers at his fists with a set jaw. Claude was standing against the wall with Anna; both of them had hooded eyes. They were angry, although I didn't know if it was with William or themselves. Hannah and Lance were holding each other in a corner of the room, angry as well. Everyone was angry, but the most of who I could see was Bella. She was staring out the window with clenched fists and her powers were taking full affect. The ground would rumble every now and then, the downpour became more violent, and lightening struck closer to the house with every moment that passed by. Rosalie and Alice were trying to calm her, saying everything was over. Bella was a stubborn one though.
"Stop it Jasper," croaked Alex from Edward's chest. I looked over at my father who I knew was trying to send her waves of calm. Alex hated that as well, being controlled. Maybe that's why she shoved her father into that wall a few weeks back. She didn't want to be controlled by him or anyone else in the family. She had dealt with too much control in her life. I'm guessing this time she wanted it to stop, now.
"Aunt Bella, please calm down," I pleaded my aunt as the house started to shake. "You're probably scaring the townspeople right now. And you don't want the house falling in."
The rumbling ceased along with the lightening. The rain didn't let up though. Well at least she was getting out anger out on something less dangerous.
Bella walked over to her daughter, leaning her head on her shoulder. She stroked her hair with a motherly expression while Edward kissed the top of his daughter's head. "Everything will be okay," he whispered. "It's all over."
I knew his words didn't comfort her. I looked over at my father who looked back at me with a mixture of emotions in his eyes. Shock, anger, and pure hatred. All the emotions that were now present in Alexandra's eyes. She looked at a wall with pure concentration. Her eyes averted to the door, then back again. Emmett stood up, standing next to his wife who was as if guarding the door. We all knew that Alex wanted to run and escape her problems. It was too dangerous for her to go out there and it would worry her parents to death. If it were possible of course.
Ally got up from her spot on the couch, walking into the kitchen without a backwards glance. Moon followed her with small meows that seemed to annoy the crap out of her.
"Yeah, well if you were fast enough none of this would've happened," I heard Alex say to the cat. I looked at my family, all of them puzzled. The Rayne's were looking at each other with wide eyes, except Claude. He had his eyes closed and seemed to be concentrating hard on something. I watched him as he opened his eyes with a sort of growl/sigh coming from deep within his chest. I looked at him for a second, him matching my stare.
Alex came out of the kitchen with teary eyes, but they were starting to dry. Her makeup was runny while her eyes were sort of…vacant looking. Moon was draped around her shoulders purring. "I'm gonna go meditate for a while. Please don't disturb me." her voice wasn't really hers. It was too professional, too blank. She walked up the stairs without a backwards glance. She only meditated when a lot was on her mind or she needed to just relax. Esme walked up to the stairs, but didn't ascend them. She just looked after her granddaughter in worry. Carlisle put his arms around her, bringing her close.
"I should've watched William more closely," whispered Anna. She looked of at Edward and Bella. "I swear, if I could've stopped him I would've."
Lance went over to Anna, giving her a tight hug. "This wasn't your fault Anna. William did this on his own." If Anna could cry, she'd be doing it right now. I felt sorry for the girl. She was blaming herself for what happened. It kind of remembered me of Edward towards Bella. Whenever something bad happened, he'd turn it around so that blame was on him.
"Thankfully Claude was there to stop him," sighed Carlisle while he glanced upstairs. We all could hear Alexandra's headphones being turned to full blast as the song Shut Up And Drive traveled through the air. I could imagine her with her eyes closed trying to reconnect with her thoughts.
"How long will she meditate for?" asked Hannah.
"It all depends on her," I answered. "She's been known to meditate for days on end."
-Gabriel-
It had been two days since she started to meditate. Two freaking days! Anna, Hannah, and Lance were all at their house while Claude and I were watching TV. Both covens missed school because well, obvious reasons. I faintly heard Edward knocking on his daughter's door. He sighed in failure, walking down the stairs and sitting with us. He kept on glancing upstairs. Claude didn't even seem to be paying attention to the TV. He was just spacing out into the abyss of his mind. He was probably thinking about Alex. He hadn't really spoken much since the whole William thing and that worried his coven. They'd call to ask if he said anything. He never did. He'd only nod and shake his head when answered a question. And his eyes, they'd always stay the same pissed off black color. Fallon was similar, only we at least got a few words out of him.
"How long was the longest time you've meditated Gabriel?" asked Edward with worry.
"A day," I answered as Bella and Carlisle walked down talking in hushed tones. They were talking vampire gibberish so I didn't have a freaking clue what they were saying. Edward joined in and I just glared at the TV screen. It's like you know what they're talking about and you don't at the same time. It sucks!
"Gabriel? Could you talk to Fallon for us?" asked Carlisle.
"Sure," I said, getting up from the couch. I trudged upstairs, passing my dad who had a huge stack of magazines in hand. I held back a laugh. It was probably porn no doubt. I walked up to Fallon's door, knocking loudly. "Assface! Let me in!" I called. The door opened, Fallon looking at me with the same vacant eyes as Alexandra. He stepped aside. I walked in, plopping myself in his computer chair. "Okay, what's the deal? You haven't talked much in about two days. Tell me what's the matter."
"I'm just pissed that's all," he said while sitting on his bed. "I should've been there to stop William once he walked into the house."
"Yeah, but nothing happened. He didn't…enter her and she's still a virgin and now William is dead. You shouldn't be sulking around like a prissy girl who didn't get a car for her birthday."
"Yeah, well I'm just mad why aren't you?"
"Fallon, I'm pissed off beyond belief right now!" I yelled. I had never yelled like this to a person. "If you think I don't care about Alex, then you're entirely wrong. I'm pissed that I wasn't there to protect her when she needed protection! I love Alexandra just as this entire family does. We are all pissed, but at least we aren't sulking around like it's the end of the world. The only person who should be acting like this is Alex. She was nearly raped, not you. She could've been turned for all we know." Fallon's eyes were wide in disbelief. I stared daggers at him. He was scared of me right now. And I realized I was standing at this point. "Alex needs us to be strong for her. She's having a hard time as it is. She's having more nightmares, she fears being changed, and she's going through bloodlust. We are too and don't looked at me like you aren't. I saw her eyeing that girl last Friday at school. Bloodlust was in your eyes even if you don't want to believe it."
Fallon looked down in shame. I couldn't hear one sound in the house. Even Alexandra's music was turned off, listening to what was going on. Good, she should know that I care for her just like everyone else. I might've not shown it as much as the rest of the family, but Alex was my reason to live until my future mate came along. She was always there for me in the bad times and I loved her to it.
"Now be strong for her Fallon. You're the one she relates to the most so please, for her sake, be strong."
Fallon nodded, not meeting my gaze. "You're right…" he whispered.
I gave him a nod, one nod people. That's all I needed to do before walking out of the room with a satisfied smile. Only I didn't expect Fallon to follow. He followed me downstairs and into the living room. Claude wasn't present, but the rest of the family was. They were all heading out the door. The guys looked pissed while the girls were all smiles. We looked at each other, then back at them.
"Come on guys, we're going to the mall to get some clothes." said Esme with a small giggle. Carlisle glared at his wife before walking out the door with the rest of the guys. "We'll tell you when we get in the car." Puzzled, both Fallon and I went down the stairs and to the care.
"What about Alex?" asked Fallon.
"Don't worry Claude will be watching her while we're gone," smiled Bella. She glanced up at her daughter's room before getting into the Mercedes with a fuming Edward. Oh dear…now I got it…
-Alexandra-
My eyes were closed as I pressed play on my ipod yet again. What Gabriel said really touched my heart. He really did care for me and didn't just drool at me. I was glad that he kicked Fallon into gear because now I was in a little bit of a happier mood. I even changed to a happier song, Too Young to Fight by Young Love. It was a little old, but it was awesome. It was also one of Gabriel's favorite songs. He'd always dance to get or at least try. He wasn't a good dancer, but you had to give him credit for his effort. He tried, that's all that counts.
I was thinking about what happened with William. A lot of emotions were let out when I killed him. One was anger. I was angry at him. He tried to rape me and I was really angry. Second was hate. I hated William. I hated him so much that I killed him without a second thought. Third was fear. I feared for my soul. I actually killed someone! That whole time I was killing him I was praying to God for forgiveness. And the fourth and final emotion…was relief. He was gone. Claude had given me relief when he shoved him through the window. He was a lifesaver.
A cold hand caressed my cheek and I shiver. I opened my eyes to see Claude staring at me with a small smile. I smiled back at him, being dazzled by his butterscotch eyes. He took out my headphones, turning off my ipod. "How are you? I haven't seen you in two days…"
"I'm coping," I answered in a whisper. We sat there in silence for a while, not feeling the need to talk. "I wanted to thank you…for saving me…" I whispered. He looked up at me with a small smile. "But…how did you know?"
"I had a feeling something was up with William. He was acting weird that day so I followed him." He took my hand in his, giving it a comforting squeeze. "When he did that…" he trailed trying to control his voice. I watched him for a few seconds. He was angry and sad. I gave his hand a comforting squeeze, making him look up at me with caring eyes. "If I wasn't there in time and he did that to you…I don't know what I would've done."
"You were there in time though," I said, trying to reassure him. "You saved me from being raped by a guy that I disgusted. I basically owe you my virginity." Oh jeez! Did I just say that? Claude looked up at me with wide eyes. Oh jeez, I did! But…what about that masked guy? Wasn't I supposed to be with him? "Uh…"
"Don't worry Alex; I won't do that unless you want me to."
I giggled and he did too. That was possibly the most embarrassing thing I've ever said, but at least I could laugh about it along with Claude. We stopped after a while, looking into each other's eyes. We didn't smile, we didn't even frown. We just looked at each other with lustful stares. He leaned in, hesitating slightly before pressing his lips to mine. It was the best thing I've ever felt in my whole life. His icy lips against my fiery ones. It was like a combination that not many could enjoy. Now I knew why my mother loved kissing my father when she was human. Wait! Get the image out of my head; I'm trying to enjoy this. He ran his fingers through my hair just as I put my arms around him and pulled him down on the bed. He was now on top of me, caressing my body. His tongue licked my bottom lip, just begging to enter my mouth. I teased him a little before letting him enter and now he was massaging my tongue with his. He pulled away, both of us catching our breath.
"Do you know how long I've been waiting to do that?" he breathed as he brushed a few strands of my hair out of my eyes.
"Do you know how long I've been waiting to do that?" I repeated with a smile. I leaned up, kissing him fully on the lips as he turned on his back. I was now on top of him, kneading my fingers into his tone muscles. He moved his lips to my neck, making me moan as tingles rippled through my upper body. He sat up with me still on top of him, making his way across my collarbone before his hands went up my shirt. I shivered at how cold they were, but it felt all too good. He stopped, feeling my shiver. I looked down at him, his eyes holding so much lust that it almost scared me, almost. "Don't stop," I breathed as I started pulling off his shirt. He tore off my shirt, revealing a Victoria Secret black lace bra. Thank you Alice.
"Are you sure?" he asked.
I smiled. "Positive…"
Ello!!
Tell me what you thought. :P I really hoped you like it. The first draft wasn't really rated T so I had to do some editing.
Well, now you know why all the guys were angry. The girls weren't since, well…they're girls and knew that Alex wouldn't get pregnant. Plus, the women talk about sex and give her tips all the time. I'll give you a little embarrassing flashback soon enough so you know how awkward it was for poor Alex. Lol.
Missa.
