Story Notes: sooo yeah, changed the pairing. I started writing this story over 2 years ago and just wasn't feeling the original paring ya know? I find this a better fit for how i'm thinking things will progress.

T/W some non-con kissing but its very brief.

also, marked in story is a short and pretty non descriptive smut scene like barley anything described.

Upstate New York - 1986

Sophie didn't think she'd come across another vampire so soon, it had taken her 3 years before she encountered her first fellow nomad.

While running through the forests of New York, she picked up the scent of other vampires. She stopped on a dime and changed directions to meet them. They seemed to have the same idea, as both parties stopped in a clearing. It was another woman, and a man, a couple maybe? The woman was tall with a straight blonde bob, the man, had cropped black hair and was average height. Like every vampire, they both had an alluring beauty.

"Oh, hello, who are you?" the female asked, a little snobbishly

"I'm Sophie, didn't think I'd run into anyone out here."

The man cut in "oh, well, I'm Johnny, and this is Blaire. We just got into the area, we came up from florida."

"Ah, well I'll move further north then, so we dont step on each other's toes."

"Oh that's no worry, we like meeting new people."

I'd been traveling alone for a while now, maybe it would be nice to spend some time with others.

Over the next few weeks, we traveled together as a group. Mostly staying within the Appalachian region. Johnny was friendly; was a bit of an idiot though. Blaire and I never seemed to get off on the right foot, though she never confronted me over anything, the constant glares behind Johnny's back said enough. It all came to a head one night in the forests of Maine. Blaire had headed close to town to get some new clothes for all of us as we usually took turns. She'd probably not get me anything if Johnny didn't make her. But, instead of enjoying the night, Johnny seemed to think this was his shot and looked over at me, he strolled over;

"Hey Sophie," he said, leaning into my personal space a little too closely.

"Ugh, hi Johnny, what's up?" I said trying to make my annoyance known

"I've seen how you look at me and wanted to let you know, I felt the same. Now that Blaire's not here, we can do whatever we want." He said with a leer

"Fuck off Johnny, I dont know what you think, but I dont feel any way about you"

I tried to move away, but he'd gripped my arm. Johnny had an enhanced strength, even higher than the usual vampires. Now, I was more worried he'd rip my arm off, and that was always a bitch to fix.

"Come on now, don't be a bitch, I know you want me" and with that he leaned in with an open mouthed kiss. I tried to turn my head before he connected but was unable. He mouthed at my closed lips and tried to bite to get me to open. Thankfully, things couldn't continue further when an unnatural screech shook him enough that I could kick him away.

"I KNEW IT, YOU LITTLE SLUT! You've been waiting for your moment to steal Johnny away from me!"

"Chill out Blaire, he came onto ME, like I'd ever want anything to do with that moron"

This seemed to spur her on more, and before I could react, she'd launched herself at me. Her nails and teeth latched onto my arms and neck. I was able to throw her off, and running on instinct got closer to Johnny before I snared him into a nightmare. Thinking of only the rage and annoyance that these two had caused me, I set Johnny into thinking Blaire was me, and that I'd actually killed her.

"Sophie how could you!" Johnny screamed with a growl, prowling around Blaire.

"Johnny, what are you talking about, It's me, Blaire."

"Shut up, I knew we should have gotten rid of you the minute we ran into each other, Blaire said you looked like trouble."

Now, Blaire turned too look at me, "what did you do to him?!'' Before she could continue on, Johnny lunged at her, ripping a chunk out of her shoulder. Tearing her limb from limb, with his enhanced strength and the shock of her mate attacking her, she didn't stand a chance.

He piled up her body parts before using some rocks to strike a fire. As Johnny stood near the fire, mourning the suppoised loss of his mate, I used the moment to launch an attack from behind, to rip his head off and toss it into the fire. The body collapsed without the head, and was next to burn. I understood why Alistair preferred his solitude.

I traveled and went down to South America for a time. Keeping to myself but practicing my power when I happened upon unfriendly vampires, even instigating fights on some occasions. I was lost with what to do in my immortal life. I didn't like being near the humans and I barely tolerated other vampires. For the first time in years, I opened my sire bond, feeling like I needed to see the only person I'd ever found comfort with in the last decade. The bond almost worked like a compass, as I slowly worked my way back up through North America, moving in whichever direction the bond pulled. It took me the better part of 6 months but I was finally able to catch up to Alistair in Nova Scotia.

"Mm, I thought I felt you poking around the bond, see you finally caught up with me. How have you been, little one?"

"Alistair" was all I said before wrapping my arms around him in a tight hug, overcome with the feeling of comfort being with my sire brought. After what was only a moment, I stepped back, a little embarrassed by my overt display of affection.

"Hmm, no need to be embarrassed Sophie, I know how overwhelmingly strong the bond can be, how've you been? Not causing too much trouble?"

"No Alistair, I've been good. Just exploring the continents. Still haven't explored Europe yet."

"Well, you're better off staying away from there anyways, no need to stir up anything accidentally."

I was excited to share the progress of my power with my only friend, "I've made some improvements with my power, do you want to see?" he raised his eyebrow, "sure, lets see what you can do."

"Well, we need to find some people first and you can see it in action."

We traveled through the night till we found a group of men coming home from the pub. Staying out of sight, I whispered to Alistar "watch this" and I activated my power. Over my years of solitude, I'd managed to improve my power greatly. While it was strongest when used on one person, I eventually practiced enough to control groups, usually up to 4 people. The more people I attempted to control, the more visible my net of power became, it created almost a light fog in the area I used it. The area around half the group of men became denser, as they succumbed to my power. Before the other half realized what was happening to their friends, the group under my control was attacking them, punching, kicking, biting, grabbing anything they could. I pushed some more into it, and eventually one of the men pulled a knife, wildly stabbing at the friends on the ground. As the men died I eased back the power onto the single man with the knife, he attacked the other men left, before passing out when I let the control go.

"See, I've really been practicing, I can get up to 4 at once, and don't even get me started when I've done it to other vampires. If they have a power I can even get them to use it too….." I trailed off as I looked at Alistair's face. He looked spooked, his eyes wide, mouth slightly open. I didn't understand why he would react like that, until he gripped my shoulders.

"Sophie, you need to listen to me, know one can know about your powers! If others find out, then eventually the Volturi will. They'll take you and lock you away, make you work for them for eternity. And if you don't, they'll kill you."

I was stunned, I couldn't respond, only nod that I understood.

"Now, you said something about other vampires, none of them know right?"

"No no, the only ones who've seen are dead."

"Good, good. Okay, we're okay. Let's clean up that mess and we can head back to where I'm staying."

After a quick clean up, and a little snack, we headed back to the cabin Alistair had procured for himself. I stayed with Alistair for just shy of 6 months, traveling around when he felt paranoid. It was during our travels that I finally learned a little more about my elusive sire. We were on the outskirts of a bird sanctuary and Alistair had stopped. He was staring longingly at a falcon.

"Hm, looks like a falcon, it's quite beautiful" I spoke quietly so the birds wouldn't spook.

"Yes, it is, very beautiful indeed. Reminds me of the falcons I had as a boy."

"Oh, I don't think I ever had any pets as a human."

"My..father..gave them to me, I adored spending time with them. Even as a human I never liked people much."

"Do you remember much of your human life?"

"Oh yes, I remember quite a lot."

That seemed to be all he wanted to say, before sprinting off in the direction we were headed. He never brought up what was said after that. And if I happened to carve a small falcon charm from wood and it went missing the next day, I never said anything either.

December 31 1989 - The shores of France

I headed to Europe as my New Year's resolution. I had an eternity on this earth and couldn't spend that time avoiding a whole continent. I traveled across the atlantic in the hull of a cargo ship, I'd raided a blood bank to get me through before jumping ship and swimming the rest as we neared. Though I'd been a vampire almost 15 years now, being in enclosed spaces was still a struggle. I walked up the sandy beach in my wet clothes. It was just after midnight and I could hear people all around celebrating the new year. At a distance I followed a young woman home, rushing into the door as she entered. I drained her quickly, my main objective was getting to raid her closet as we looked to be similar sizes.

I hadn't been able to indulge much in fashion as I usually stayed in the woods. But, I wanted to spend the new decade exploring Europe and having the trip so many humans seemed to desire. I found a cute pleated skirt and blouse, showering off the sea and sand, I finally felt presentable. I raided the closet and packed what I liked in a backpack, taking all the cash I could find as well. After disposing of the body in the same ocean I'd come out of just hours earlier, I headed into the night for my next adventure.

France was lovely, I cherished my time there. I explored the museums countless times and discovered a love for fashion. I started to settle, I'd even rented an apartment. Money meant nothing to me, and I wasn't against getting it however I could so I paid enough for a place that would overlook the lack of any ID. Apparently, vampires had quite an advantage when it came to learning things. Maybe it was the lack of needing sleep, or the enhanced eyesight but I'd picked up French with alarming ease. After so many years away from any civilization, I was finally starting to relax. Starting to find out how to enjoy this immortal life. But then I ran into the most annoying idiot I'd ever met.

I had just finished disposing of a delicious couple I'd drained when I smelt something intriguing. It smelled like pine and clove, no smell had ever stuck out like this to me before. I followed my nose back into town. I stopped 50 feet away from a vampire who was mid-meal. He had a hulking frame, shooting past 6 feet easily with broad shoulders. Though it was dark I could see he had cropped black hair, he didn't have his eyes open, probably seeing nothing as a threat. I knew I should run, this vampire could easily kill me, but I couldn't move, I didn't want to. Once he finished, he tossed the body into a dumpster next to him, then he looked up.

"Oho, who do we have here?" he said with a smirk. I struggled to keep my face neutral.

"Sophie"

"Sweet sweet Sophie, with the sweetest smell." I'd never thought I smelled like much before, let alone sweet. I wonder what I smelled like to him?

"I'm Felix, now what's a pretty little American vamp doing here in france, don't you all usually stay home?"

"I didn't think nationalities meant much in the afterlife" I shot back with my own smirk this time.

"Hm, a little sass, I like that. I'd like it even more if you wanted to spend some time with me." His smirk had a little something to it now. This wasn't the first time I'd been propositioned before, especially by other vampires. I mostly said no, only indulging them on rare occasions. But, looking into his ruby eyes, I felt compelled to say yes, I felt desired. I felt true want for the first time since I'd awoken as a vampire.

"Sureee Felix, I got a place around here we can go."

He grinned at that "Lead the way doll."

Smut start-

Once we got back to my place he slammed me against the wall, sucking on my neck. I moaned loudly at that. I had a hunger I hadn't felt before and didn't want to wait long. I hooked a leg around his waist, causing the dress I was wearing to ride up. He didn't seem to have much patience either. He hooked my other leg around his waist and carried me to the bed I had. He leaned over me with my legs still hooked around him.

"We can always take more time later, yeah?" I nodded to agree. He ripped our clothes off and was in me before I could blink. He really was big everywhere, but while as a human it might have hurt, it felt delicious as a vampire. I was tiny compared to him, he maneuvered my body any way he pleased, and I reveled in the feeling. Round after round we went, extensively figuring out each other's bodies.

- Smut end

We had arrived at my apartment before dawn, but with all the ravenous fucking, didnt stop until almost dusk. I'd never felt this carnal need before, I'd also in between some moments of rest, learned more about Felix. All together, he was an idiot. A flirtatious, humorous, and very attractive idiot. He was dressing in some spare clothes he apparently had, before topping it with a gray cloak.

"My sweet Sophie, I have to be going yeah? Need to meet up with a friend I'm traveling with."

"Hm, well this was fun, goodbye Felix." my smile not reaching my eyes, not wanting this to be over truly.

He pulled me close, nipping at my neck, "don't think this is a one time thing, I'll be back when I'm in France again, I know where to find you." He left with a wink and a smirk, my unbeating heart fluttering.
