By the time Eleanor woke up, she was forty-one thousand feet in the air and resting on a chair beside her best friend in a private airplane. Frowning, she sat up, ignoring the pounding sensation inside her head and tried to figure out where she was and where she was going. Placing her fingertips on the side of her head, she closed her eyes for a moment to try to piece together what had happened over the past several hours. But all that came back to her was Alec's face, the mysterious man she had felt imprint on her non beating heart filled her every thought, it infuriated her but at the same time she couldn't help but smile softly to herself at the simple thought of him, if she was able to blush, her cheeks would've been as red as roses.

Moving off her seat, she noticed Alec and Jane staring at her as if she had killed their mother right in front of them, a look that she later understood as their normal stares. Rolling her eyes, she focused on Jane first. "Oh look, its vampire Regina George. And here's me hoping you were just a nightmare."

Jane's eyes narrowed, her hands gripping the arm rests as one leg folded over the other. "I'm just going to pretend I understand your teenage culture reference and act offended by telling you to fuck off... Fuck off."

The pair then exchanged a sarcastic smirk at each other before Eleanor moved over towards Allison, who had woken up by that time. Sitting down on the floor beside her, Eleanor rested her head on the seat, giving her best friend a soft smile. "Hey, Allie. You okay?"

Allison gave Eleanor a smile back, nodding her head as she sat up and moved her legs over the side of her chair, completely ignoring the pounding inside her head. "I will be once I've had a drink."

Eleanor chuckled a little, her arm resting on the seat as she looked around the cabin, noticing several bottles of untouched champagne in front of her. "Can vampires get drunk?"

Allison followed Eleanor's gaze at the bottles, a sly smirk coming onto her lips as she raises an eyebrow. "I dunno, can they?"

"Shall we find out?" Eleanor picked up a bottle of champagne while Allison did the same, both of them trying to suppress their laughter as they looked at each other.

Allison nodded, removing the cork from her champagne bottle. "We shall. CHUG, CHUG, CHUG, CHUG!"

Jane and Alec watched as Eleanor and Allison drank champagne as if their lives depended upon it, giving each other side glances as they tried to keep their voices low to make sure the girls didn't hear them.

"No offence, but did your mate have to be such an idiot?" Jane muttered to her brother, her eyebrows rose as she looked at Eleanor who was giggling like a baby in a bubble bath.

"None taken and believe me, if I had a choice, I would've picked someone with a slightly higher IQ than her." Alec muttered back, giving his sister a sideways glace.

"I think I'm losing some IQ just by looking at them," Jane muttered to nobody in particular, but certainly wasn't directed towards Eleanor and Allison.

Back with Allison and Eleanor, the pair had finished drinking and were now surrounded by empty bottles of champagne. "Do you feel anything?" Eleanor asked, playing with the label on one of the bottles.

Allison shook her head, leaning on one of the chairs. "No… you?"

"Nothing. I guess vampires can't get drunk. This is such bullshit."

"This is serious shit to the bull."

"We've just wasted six bottles of champagne on this and it's all for nothing, now what?"

"Now, we wait for something to happen."

Almost an hour later of waiting for something to happen, the high the pair had from the alcohol had long since worn off; they were both sat on the floor, their arms wrapped around each other's shoulders. "I remember my last night as a human," Eleanor started, her eyes fixed on the floor. "It was the last party of the summer, I think it was Sunny's but I can't remember. We were all there, except Becky – she was too young to go. So you, Charlie and I went and danced for hours until I saw Alex with some random girl, I got mad and left the party. I started walking home then our creator found me and brought me into the woods. I was drunk, but not drunk enough to not understand what was going on. I remember the news would say about guys picking up drunken girls and bringing them into the woods to rape and kill them – somehow, I thought that would be me so I tried to run but I couldn't. That's when it happened. And I wasn't the same after that."

Allison hugged Eleanor tighter, in hopes it would make her feel better although it probably wouldn't do anything. "He's gone now, okay? He's gone. He'll never hurt you again."

"He'll always be in my head… he manipulated me; he manipulated all of us and we didn't even know it." Things fell silent after that until Eleanor spoke up again, getting her phone out of her bag and opening up the photos. "I miss Sunny; she was a lot of fun to have around. Hey, remember that one time you, me and Sunny got so drunk we called your mom up and asked her if we were pregnant with triplets would we be pregnant for 21 months?"

A smile came on Allison's face, nodding her head. "And that time we thought we were superheroes on Sunny's trampoline so we jumped off it and we all landed in her neighbour's backyard?"

The pair kept on making each other laugh for some time after that, bringing up old memories of their human life to perhaps make sure they remember them, before those memories get forgotten forever.

"Ladies, I hate to interrupt your 'girly time' but we're here and for the love of god, don't start your sarcastic shit again." Alec's voice brought them out of their talk, his face completely serious as he threw them their bags, not caring if some items fell out before following after his sister out of the now parked plane.

Author's Note: Ugh, this is so shit and I'm sorry for leaving you guys hanging for over a month – believe it or not, I got a bit caught up with writing Love Me to Pieces and also playing (and completing) Alice: Madness Returns. But something to look forward to in the next chapter – Eleanor and Allison finally meet Aro, Caius and Marcus so expect sass and bubblegum to come into play once more.

This goes out to mah gurl Hannah who is an active member of the sqwad where we talk about very important issues facing our fanfic filled lives… She'll understand what I'm babbling about, don't worry about it if you don't get it.

Plus, I've made a social media post on my Tumblr for you guys to see – just go to inourtownofpanem (that's my Tumblr) and it should be one of the first things you see.

Until next time;

Lorna.
