I DO NOT OWN THE TWILIGHT SAGA.
Alec's P.O.V.
"Alright, have a nice day, everyone! Okay, bye!" I say as I shut the door behind the last tourist. I sigh in relief as I start walking towards the throne room when I hear thunder strike throughout the place. I frown. What the fuck? When I had opened the door to let the tourists out, there hadn't been a cloud in the sky. It's probably a couple of vampires fighting or something. I think I might know who the vampires are: Lilly and Marta. They hate each other. I quickly follow the sound of fighting, hoping that I can see part of the show.
But when I do get to where the fight is, I don't see Lilly and Marta. I see a bunch of vampires that I barely know surrounding Demetri on top of a blonde woman, holding her down by her neck, her struggling to break free. And then I fucking see her face. Max. Demetri is struggling to rip her head off, but with the struggle that Max is putting up, the closest he can get is his hands slightly around her neck; not enough to actually decapitate her.
That's when an anger I didn't even know existed fills my entire body. I push through the crowd—which consists of people I don't know and a few I do such as Heidi, Caius, Marcus, Aro, the wives, Renata—roughly and run up to Max and Demetri and tackle Demetri to the ground. But my advantage doesn't last long, however, as Demetri quickly gets the upper hand and throws me off of him. I am thrown back a dozen feet or so and I quickly go to attack Demetri again, but that's when Aro finally steps in. I don't know what the fuck he was waiting for, I mean, his interference was needed long before I showed up. He should have helped Max. And that's when I remember that the only person who cares that much about Max—besides her brother—is me.
"Alright lady and gentlemen, I think that's enough," Aro says as he glides up to us. I turn to him angrily.
"What the hell, Aro?" I yell at him. "Why didn't you step in earlier? Demetri could have killed Max."
"I don't think it would have gone that far." I know that he's lying. He knows that Demetri would have killed Max if he wasn't stopped. "Besides, it's done and over with now. We can all go back to what we were doing. Play time is over." Everyone starts to disperse, but a few familiar faces stick around. That's when Jane happens to walk into the room, seeming oblivious to what is going on.
"Thanks for abandoning me in Portugal, you guys," she says, her voice dripping in sarcasm. "I really appreciate it." That's when she notices the crowd, and Max still on the floor, looking shaken but still beautiful. "Did I miss something?"
I ignore her and turn back to Demetri. My anger flares up again and I start to walk towards him. I don't know what my face looks like, but it must be pretty terrifying, because Demetri actually looks scared for a fraction of a second. A fraction of a second is all that I need, though, and then I have pinned up against the wall, with my face so close to his that we are almost touching. The room is as silent as a stone as everyone watches. Maybe they think Demetri deserves this. Maybe they don't want to cross me. Maybe they don't want to do anything until Aro does, but whatever the cause, no one stops me.
"I'm warning you," I say, though it sounds like someone else's voice. "If you ever touch Max again, I don't fucking care if you're passing her in the hallway and you accidently graze hands. If I ever see you in the same room as her or if I ever see you looking at her the wrong way again, I will find you, and I will fucking destroy you. Do you understand?" He stares into my eyes for a long time. After two minutes go by with no answer, I decide that he hasn't learned his lesson, and decide to take it a step further.
I wrap my arm around his neck and at the same time I turn around and flip him over my shoulder and slam him to the ground, smashing up pieces of cement in the process. I then get on top of him and again get really close to his face. "Do you understand!" I demand. He quickly nods.
"Yes," he says. I hold him for a second longer before letting him go and standing up straight. I look around the room and spot Max, who is now standing up, looking at me. Okay. I really messed up. Now there will be no doubt in Aro, Caius, and Marcus' minds that there's something going on between Max and I. I gave it away the second I yelled at Aro for not stopping Demetri. But you know what? Right now, I don't care if they know. I'm pissed at all of them for just standing there while Demetri almost killed Max. They're making it too easy for me to leave them in June.
And since the cat is pretty much out of the bag now, I figure that I might as well go all the way. So I walk over to Max, put my arm around her, and kiss her on the forehead. Then I steer her in the opposite direction of everybody. As we are walking out of the room, I sneak a peak at Max's face, and I find that she's surprised. I don't blame her, I'm surprised too.
And I know that I'll later come to regret all of this; but for right now, I honestly don't give a damn.
