N/A: OK, so, although I didn't have many reviews... at all... I've decided to give you another chapter. Aren't I lovely? Yes, would be the answer. Right, on with the show!
Chapter 5- No
No. No! That's not right! That's not how it's supposed to happen. I fell to the ground, screaming, tearing at my skin.
She couldn't be dead. It's not possible, I kept repeating. The fall wouldn't kill her, I thought. But, deep down, I knew it could.
There's a legend that, if a vampire is desperate enough, a fall bad enough can kill them. All vampires can put themselves back together after being shattered, but if a vampire doesn't want to badly enough, it just won't happen. I screamed again, almost senseless.
In my anxiety, I barely noticed the low whimper starting from below me. I stumbled to the side of the cliff, prepared to go with her. But then I heard it.
It was only faint at first, but gradually it grew in pitch, until it became a piercing howl. I covered my ears, suddenly desperate to get away from there, to not hear the sound. But I made myself look over the edge, down at the patchy grass, and sandy ground.
Then I saw it.
The sight made me physically sick. I retched.
Alice... lay on the ground, her remains scattered like pebbles on a beach. My face distorted with pain and rage. I screamed again, needing some outlet for this anger. I heard the whine again, almost in response to my howl. I stopped, shocked, and the whine stopped. I tried again. The whine started again. It seemed to be coming for Alice.
I shot down the cliff fast, even for a vampire. I was by her in a second. I tried again, and again the whine replied, coming for somewhere close. I searched frantically for her face. It pained me, but I knew if I had a chance...
I found it, and held her beautiful mouth close to my ear, terrified I would somehow damage her. Her beautiful, all-seeing eyes, were shut, as though she was dreaming peacefully. I gasped, the sudden realisation of the fact that I might not save her, hitting me like a wave on the shore.
Suddenly, I saw something. It was the faintest twitch of her left eyelid. Yes, I was sure I saw it. There it was again! Alice was... alive! Was that possible? Cold I still save her. I looked about me, desperate to find another part of her.
I searched for hours, until I was certain I had every piece of her, and laid her delicately on the ground. I had forgotten how beautiful she was. So tiny and perfect, every feature of her as refined and perfect as the next. Her skin was like porcelain.
Now, I just had to wait.
