The Twilight Twenty-Five
Prompt: Patience
Pen name: starshinedown
Pairing: Alice
Rating: T

The girl is a tiny thing. Pretty, except for the dark circles under her eyes and the way she flinches when her father speaks of committing the girl to your care.

Soon you understand: she is more than simply appetizing. She has a Talent, this weak little human. Prophetic dreams. Your plans shift. Rather than feed from her, you will make her your companion.

Changing her right away will not do. You want to test her, pushing her limits now, so she will be even more powerful as a vampire. You can afford to wait. Immortals have nothing but time.
