Enjoy! :D
"I'll be right back." Alec whispered into my ear, jumping off the bed faster than you can say Okeechobee.
You could hear two sets of footsteps in the halls as Alec went after Jane.
Honestly, I don't know what happened. I mean, I know she was pissed that he kissed me, but that had happened yesterday too. Or I had kissed him, whatever. Had she been holding in alll the anger all this time? How could she do that? If I tried to keep in anger, I would fail miserably, I mean, miserably for everyone else. And then I would be miserable with embarrassment.
I got up and walked towards the door and looked down the hall. Alec gave me one last glance before turning the corner. A look that read Don't follow -this could be dangerous.
So I stayed put. Just as I turned to go back into my room, Felix charged out of his room with a frantic expression.
"What happened?" He asked, eyes so full of concern that I felt bad for not giving him much of an answer.
"I'm not really sure." I lied.
"Well, where's Alec? Wasn't he in there with you or something?"
Great. Another question I'll have to lie for. "I don't know the answer to that either." I said, shaking my head. Well, I'm not expected to know everything, am I?
Felix sighed and slowly turned to go back into his room. Slowly, as if expecting or waiting for some answers. I shut my door before Demetri could bust out and plague me with questions.
I waited patiently for Alec to return. We needed to talk since we haven't talk almost all day, being at the hospital and all. I lost patience after almost an hour and went to bed.
When I awoke, Alec still wasn't there. Instead, sitting in a chair across the room, Jane was staring out the window with a blank expression. I was surprised that she was here, I was expecting Alec instead.
I sat up and ran my fingers through my hair. I wiped the drool off my face. I felt gross with Jane in the room.
Jane wouldn't even make eye contact with me. Instead she plainly said, "You broke your arm."
"Yesterday..." I muttered, rubbing the sleep out of my eyes.
She ignored my response completely, cutting the crap and jumping to her point. "You're in love with my brother." The words came out sharp, tainted with hate; cutting through the silence. "And he's in love with you..."
So it seems, Sherlock. I thought, holding my tongue. There was no need to piss her off anymore than she already is.
"You know in seven hundred years, he's the only one I've been close to?" She asked, though it was a statement more than a question."Besides Aro, of course."
I sat silent, waiting on her to continue. I already knew Jane was close to Alec and vice versa.
"And then you, a mere human, comes here as food," I cringed at the word 'food'. "And you get the both of them wrapped around your fingers. Fingers that I can easily and happily snap."
I opened my mouth to say something smartass but shut it. I was kind of hurt, I didn't know Jane hated me this much.
"Now Alec rarely speaks to me. Aro still talks to me- to give orders. I have to prompt them to talk." For the first time there was pain in Jane's voice." You don't know how it feels to be..."
"To be what?" I spoke up, my voice croaky.
"Trapped in a young body when your mind is years beyond. Forgotten. Betrayed. So many words can go there."
For the first time I actually had a little bit of sympathy for Jane. Even though she called me food. I just didn't think she would turn this situation into a soap oprah.
"I'm sorry." I murmured. She was right about not knowing how she feels.
"What are you sorry for?" She retorted. "You didn't betray me like the people I thought to be nieghbors."
I braved up, "What do you want me to say? "
"I don't know..." She muttered. She looked in her lap."I think I should give you the warning I never had: they've been discussing turning you younger since it's obvious you and Alec are mates. You'll get a taste of being stuck as a child for eternity."
"I'll take your word for it."
"Alec told me to apoligize."
Okay then...get on with it. I thought bitterly even though I didn't say anything, I just looked at her.
As if she read my mind, she spat," That was it."
"Alright..." I replied. Would it have killed a tree to actually say 'sorry'?
We were both quiet for a few minutes, marinating in our thoughts till she finally said, "Alec gave you that locket."
What the hell? That was out of the blue. I didn't expect her to bring that up. "Yes, he did." I replied. I grabbed the chain that had been hanging around my neck; the locket hanging between my breast.
"I haven't seen that in years." She said, her voice a bit softer this time though.
"Alec said it belonged to-"
She cut me off, " Yes, it belonged to our mother. She used to wear it everyday."
"It's pretty." I said stupidly.
She acted as if I hadn't said anything, though I knew she heard. "And by 'years' I mean since I was human. Which was seven hundred years ago." She said sharply, almost a hiss.
I was quiet, once again.
"Look at you, bitch. You are vunerable. Human. Why the hell would you fall for someone who can snap your bones, much like yesterday and in addition cut off all your senses and never have to turn them back on?" She said, waiting for an answer.
"I don't know."
"It doesn't matter though, does it? Because you would have been one of us anyway."
I looked away, out the window. I sure wished Alec would come and cut her senses off. Where was he when I need him lately?
"I can't blame you for liking him. He can be so nice when he wants to be."
Was she trying to make me feel better? I highly doubt it.
"He spoke to me first. And yes, your brother is a charmer." I said, gaining confidence.
She looked at me and smiled a little.
"As a person, you're not that bad. I just wish Alec wouldn't care so much for a human. It weakens his reputation."
That took me off guard." Um, thanks." I swallowed, "I guess..."
And sometimes you're not that bad either. Just a bitch sometimes. I thought. I was about to say it, but bit my tongue- I would end up ripped in pieces.
I wonder if Alec told her to say that or if she said it out of the kindness of her heart.
"I must get going." She said, suddenly. She jumped up and without turning to me she said, "Good day."
"You too." I muttered.
The door shut, leaving me by myself.
No hard feelings, no hard feelings...
I know what you're thinking: "Finally an update!" or "What took her so long?" or something along the lines of that- and I apoligize, I forgot about it. But the next chapter should be up soon! Also thanks to any reviewers/favoriters/alerters. I love you all!
Make my day and review! ~Kayti :DD
