I followed behind them closely, tiptoeing down the hallways quietly observing them. Demetri was walking camly whilst Alec walked rigidly and tense as if something was wrong. Yet,still they were so graceful it hurt to look, Alice had been that way always so graceful... Many boys used to look at her though she never noticed, i tended to stay in the corners a bit, away from ll of that. My father,once Alice was declared missing was convinced she was dead and told me to do the same, but i couldn't, never. My parents got angrier after that, all of Alice's good clothes were thrown away instead of given to me, for my father said she was a disgrace to this family and should be left as if she never existed. My mother was too depressed and angry to care, she never was there to tell me bedtime stories or tell me to say my prayers before bed, i had learnt to become independent and would cry on my own in the bathroom and mourn silently, missing her so much, she couldn't be dead. It was too strange,they would have had lots of security at the mental facility even then, something had happened.

I had been pondering my memories and thoughts,forgetting where i was and now stood staring back into Alec's red eyes which were laced with worry, i shrugged sheepishly. He blinked,something i didn't see many vampires do, he seemed to blink away the emotion in his eyes and were now cold and emotionless, he then placed a smirk on his lips a familiar thing to him my eyes trailed down to his hand which held my small teddy bear that before had been hung in my jacket's ocket. I lunged towards him angrily, he was still a great deal taller then me even though he was short for a male, he let out a soft chuckle holding the teddy bear above his head looking at me in triumph ''does the pixie want her little teddy bear''? He asked muffling chuckles tauntingly dangling it over my head,yes it was worn and faded,the purple colour turned into a grey one button eye ramained but i did not care.

It was the last thing i had left of my past, i had been going to a elite party the night i was bitten. I was wearing a purple party dress that poofed out and was stitched by my mother who put on her best fake smile for the party, my long hair was out and wavy a crystal hair clip tying a strand away. I was never one for parties unlike Alice and once she dissapeared i found them utterly boring and annoying. I stayed in the corner of the room, watching everyon laugh and dance around being spinned by thee partners like petals falling down from a flower. It was a masquerade styled party, most people wore masks of some sort like mine, though mine seemed to be different then everyone elses. It was purple and black,framed with intricit gold designs around the sides, all their masks covered what their smiles could not, all of these people that could laugh while people were out on the cold streets and in Mental Hospitals,their lives ruined.

A boy walked up to me, i knew him quite well and we used to go down to a special garden we found with red roses the size of our parents hands, or maybe it was our childish imagination. He was much richer then i, but unlike most he was kind and different though his mother and father made him feel shamed for the way he acted. His name was Xavier, though he was only 14 like me at the time he was already handsome enough. Behind his black and white mask was sparkling blue eyes and black tousled hair, and fair skin with a smile that made you feel all happy inside, ''butterflies'' my mother told me smiling at me once. He had a box in his hand, he placed it in mine slowly, i glared at it. He knew i didn't like gifts much, he smiled knowingly ''Pixel just open it, i promise you will love it'' ! he exclaiumed excitedly, 'pixel' was my nickname from him he knew how much i hated being called Pixie, so he called me that instead. I sighed, pulling the ribbon off of the bo so it opened up, i gasped as i looked at it. A small teddy bear sat, which would have cost lots back then, i smiled lovingly and held it running up to Xavier and hugging him he laughed loudly setting me down and looking at me ''thanks Xavier'' i gasped still looking down at the teddy bear i smiled. ''Your welcome pixel, now in your thanks let me give you a kiss on the cheek'' he said before i could respond he placed his lips against my cheek just for a second, those ''butterflies'' stired again i remembered me blushing afterwards. He promised me a dance later but he had to talk with his parents for a while, he didn't know i wouldn't be there when he came back and either did i.

I felt myself trembling as Alec eyed me carefully, ''Alec give it back to her'' Demetri said his voice laced with worry and something else, i started hissing as Alec started to smirk again but it broke and his smirk faltered replaced with a frown giving it back quickly. I shoved it into my pocket coming back to myself, he shook his head and suddenly both Demetri and Alec broke out in a run i followed behind again still mad at Alec for doing that. They ventured into a forest which i was completely used to, they both ran on the ground i prefered jumping and leaping from the trees it was much funner and easier to see that way i heard a snort ''Pixie you do realize we aren't monkeys of course,right'?''Alec asked in humour from below me, i stood on a branch looking down he stood looking up at me with a cheaky grin on his face i rolled my eyes. ''no?I thought we were, too bad. Who are we going to see anyway''? I said in complete sarcasm dripping off of my words, he growled lowly, ''how about you ask Demetri'' He said angirly, he obviously had bi polar or anger issues which is funny because i should still have been mad at him. I looked at Demetri who had stopped also a few meters away from Alec, his mouth into a frown pointed at Alec. ''Romanians'' Demetri murmered and then all hell broke lose.

A large animalistic snarl rang through Alec's body at hatred towards these Romanians, he threw his head back in anger then glared at Demetri pointing at me ''and Aro expects that the Pixie will be safe with only us towards the Romanians''!? He shouted, i frowned sitting onto the branch listening in intently, who were these Romanians? I heard a branch,no not just a branch the whole entire tree i was standing on was suddenly tumbling over, being the small skinny figure i was i didnt have time to react, i was probably one of the weakest vampires in history. Alec had kicked the damn tree overor pushed it, i was falling before i could think i really was bad at reacting properly. I fell into a pair of cold arms i looked up to see Alec the owner of them, his eyes rolling he held me for a second looking down at me frowning for some reason than put me on the ground ''Pixie's gotta be more careful, she's very fragile i see'' Alec murmers amused, holding my arms as i stumble out of shock, i looked up at him from my lashes confused.

I stumbled my way through a few dead leaves away from him, Demetri was giving Alec a strange eye too and he seemed confused ''there's only 2 of them Alec, and besides at least we know she runs well'' He muttered matter of factly, looking at his hand for a second then putting it back to rest his gaze on Alec. He spoke of me as if i was a freaking coke machine. Alec rolled his eyes folding his arms across his chest standing beside me, i felt so small and helpless ''yes, and thats going to help her so much once they twist her little neck with their bare hands and set her to ashes'' Alec seethed, pacing back and forth.

I froze as i heard a low growl and a dark chuckle from behind me ''How very right you are Alec''.
