Thanks everyone.

A/N: A little background on Alice and so forth. Thanks everyone

To my surprise the small island that Issac had chosen was rather nice. The replicators had quickly built a sizable house to accommodate us. It was a nice two story that had almost every convenience that one could think of. Including a miniaturized version of the Asgard Core. I lay stretched out on the lawn chair as I gazed out into the blue waters of the ocean. It was beautiful. I tilted my head so that I could see Emma and Sarah playing in the sand. The duo appeared to be building a sandcastle. My memories of Alice and my time at the beach resurfaced and I quickly averted my eyes as Jean sat down in the chair next to me.

"Is everything ok?" Jean asked.

I nodded, I didn't want to betray my emotions at the moment. After a moment I turned to Jean "Where's Alice at by the way?" I asked.

Jean smiled "She's over there sunning herself, I for one think its kinda odd. I mean she has an aversion to water unless its been treated with special herbs but the sunlight doesn't bother her at all."

"True, but you have to realize that not all vampire myths are true." I said.

Jean was looking around for something and I raised an eyebrow "Is something wrong dear?" I asked.

"Nothings wrong, I was just wondering what happened to Issac." Jean said.

"I sent him back to the palace, he will be going on a mission for me." I said as I closed my eyes.

"I won't ask what kind, I know this is our time for relaxing." She said as she lay back. My gaze drifted over her choice of outfits.

"I see your rather enjoying my bikini." Jean said smirking at me. I simply nodded as I turned my attention back to our two girls.

"Their growing up aren't they?" Jean asked. I nodded "That they are indeed"

"They will live a life that no other has lived. They will be heirs to our vast empire my husband." Jean said as she watched our daughters play.

A replicator appeared in between us carrying two drinks. Jean and I both took our drinks and drained them quickly.

"I think I rather like it here, perhaps we can have a permanent house here for vacation" Jean stated as relaxed. I took the hint and sent word to the replicators to begin building a permanent home.

I closed my eyes as I tried to relax and not think about things.

….

((Alice's POV))

I shifted in the chair slightly and sighed. I was trying to enjoy myself but it was difficult. My brother was over there with his wife and I was over here. I didn't want to intrude on him, god knows he needs a break. She sighed as she recalled back to when all of this started.. when her life changed forever.

Flashback...

I opened my eyes and looked around. I was on a bed of some kind in the center of a room. I tried to lift my arms but I noticed my wrists were bound with thick straps. My legs were in a similar fashion.

The door opened and for the first time in my life I was seeing an alien. He appeared to be pushing some kind of cart that had various instruments on it.

"I see your admiring my tools." The alien said. He smiled showing a row of razor sharp teeth.

"What do you want with me? Where's my family?" She asked. He picked up a metal tool and she started straining against her restraints.

"That won't do you any good my dear, now I have a special treat for you." He said.

He waved his hand and the light lowered almost to total darkness. Suddenly an image appeared above her. Her heart leapt at the sight of her brother. I watched as a blue haired woman kissed him and to my horror I could literally see the life force being drained out of him.

"You've got to stop her" I screamed as I struggled against the restraints. To my surprise the alien chuckled "We will in a moment, we want him to know that everything's hopeless now."

Sure enough the blue haired woman screamed and was dragged out of the room. The image disappeared and the lights came back up in the room.

"Why did you show me that?" I growled. I would find some way to get free.

The alien smiled and held up a needle "To show you that its hopeless to struggle." I saw the needle and quickly panicked. Seconds later he jammed the needle into my arm rather forcefully causing me to scream in pain and anger.

"Now now.. that won't hurt for much longer." He said removing the needle.

I felt my heart racing faster suddenly, my body started to get very hot.. I turned my head towards the alien "What... what have you done to me?" I cried weakly.

He smiled "you'll see soon enough" And with that he turned and left the room.

My body started to spasm violently and I found myself straining hard against the restraints. Something was happening inside me and I didn't know what.

I let out a scream as I was suddenly overcome with an intense pain. I fell back against the bed and felt my world dissolve into darkness.

When I awoke I was in a small room on a bed. The room had the most basic functions. It had a toilet and a sink. I immediately went to the sink and started to splash water on my face. When I looked up however, everything in me came to a stand still.

The Alice I was looking at was not the Alice I remembered seeing every morning in the mirror. Gone was the long honey blond hair, now there was long silvery white hair. Her once green eyes were gone replaced by blood red eyes. Her mouth opened to speak and she saw canine like teeth.

"What's happened to me?" I gasped loudly.

"We injected you with the blood of a vampire that we had on board." A voice said suddenly. I looked around trying to find the origin of the voice.

"You can keep looking as long as you like but you won't find me in the room. We've taken precautions." The voice said.

"Why did you do this to me?" I cried. I was a monster.. and it was their fault.

"That will take a bit of explaining.. but that is for another day, for now however, These are for you." The voice said. A tray in the door slid open and two glasses appeared. I picked up one of the glasses and to my horror it had blood in it.

"What is this?" I asked even though I knew the answer.

"Your body needs blood to survive now. I suggest you drink it if you don't want to die a horrible death." The voice said.

I took the cup and took a sip. My eyes widened as I quickly drained the cup and started on the other one.

"Good, I see your enjoying it. I'm going to leave you for now. I will be back to check with you later." The voice said.

I dropped the cup onto the floor and walked over to the sink. I noticed a trail of blood running down my face. I wiped it away and leaned on the sink as I stared at my reflection. I had become a monster.

Present time...

That's what I had thought then, but not anymore. I was with my family now.. even though mom and dad were gone. I had my brother back, and he had a family of his own now. I smiled as I watched the two girls play. Those two were really something.

…..

I brought up my omni-tool as to check on the status of my empires first ship. My family had been here for three days now and I thought I should at least check in. My omni-tool glowed to life as it downloaded the various results and tests from the ship so far. Excellent, the ship was 52% complete so far. I frowned as I noticed a slight error on my part. The replicators had started mining materials from one of the nearby mountains. I wasn't to upset at this though. But my original plan had been to bring the materials in, not use what precious materials Earth had left. So far all the ship was coming along nicely. Though I added a few modifications. I replaced the captains chair with a throne made out of replicator blocks. The throne could easily adjust to my position as I saw fit. The only major problem I was having was getting enough Naquadah to power the ship. Hopefully my generals would take care of that while I was gone. I closed my omni-tool and relaxed.

I lay stretched out on the couch watching an old vid from when I was a kid. The vid screen was based off of the design I got from the Mass Effect universe.

Jean walked into the room and stopped. "Why do you have your feet on the arm of the couch" Jean snapped.

"Sorry dear" I said quickly moving my feet. Jean smiled and headed into the kitchen.

My omni-tool beeped and I opened it up. "My Emperor, were about to go retrieve some Naquadah as you commanded." Kurumu said.

"Excellent, but make sure your discrete about it. I don't want them aware of us yet." I said. Kurumu acknowledged and signed off.

I sighed as I lay back against the couch arm and slowly I drifted off to sleep.

Stargate Universe: Location: Pegasus Galaxy...

((Kurumu's POV))

I was glad to be here finally. I along with Issac, Washu, and Tali were aboard the Daedalus above a uninhabited planet.

"According to the data from Atlantis, this planet is rich in Naquadah. Well begin sending replicators down immediately to the surface." I said.

I opened a portal and replicators started pouring into the ship. I directed them to the hanger bay to board several of the 302's. They immediately departed for the planet below.

My attention was drawn to the bridge suddenly as a loud beep was heard.

"What's going on?" I asked Caldwell.

"Radar has picked up two hive ships heading for us, we need to leave now." He said as he sat down in his chair.

I frowned but nodded. I sent word to the replicators to burrow into the mountain side and wait for the Wraith's to pass. Once done they were to start mining. I ordered the Daedalus to return to Atlantis for the time being.

As the ship jumped to hyperspace I let out a short growl of frustration. I had to think of a way to insure that those Wraith didn't interfere again.

After telling Caldwell to call me if anything happened I retreated to my quarters as I awaited our arrival. I just hoped my Emperor wouldn't be too upset about this setback.
