It was humid outside, and late. I had forgotten dates and times weeks ago, or maybe just a week ago. I had been down here searching for Victoria, because my love deserved that. It hurt to think of her, for so long I've been numb, and when I found her I was alive again. Now, knowing how my life could be, it seemed more of a blow, living without her.
Alexandra, for the meanwhile, was walking ahead of me. I was trying to think why she'd want to see me. Because I was good looking? To humans at least, I knew I was considered attractive, but she was so confident, which is odd. Humans seemed to unconsciously fear me, which is probably better for them. If they knew what I was capable of…
"So, do you like Rio?" She asked, she was walking a little faster than me, and she turned to face me. "It's a great place to live, really. I consider it my second home."
I tried to get a grasp on what she was thinking, but all I could get was her thinking of Rio. I followed a few paces behind, and saw that she was heading towards a red Jeep. "Where do you plan on taking me?"
"But you didn't answer my question." She huffed, and for the first time I got a small glimpse of her character. Something like Alice, always wanting to have her own way. Maybe she was obsessive?
"Rio is…nice." I hesitated before jumping into the Jeep. I didn't know anything about her, not even her real name. I don't think she could do much to me, but she just seemed so familiar.
Alexandra nodded, and started the car, she hit the accelerator hard and starting driving west. She was driving fast, very fast. I thought my driving was reasonably well paced, but she was going way past the odometer's 120 mph on her Jeep.
Everything flew by then, the landscape; the lights were far behind us. We were passing a small village, and then driving on a dirt road and…BAM! She braked the car suddenly, and my body flew forward from the inertia. Thankfully I had my seat belt on or I would've broken her windshield.
"What the hell was that?" I asked, annoyed that I actually let this stranger take me somewhere.
"Oh well, the car could use some revving up. I don't think I was over 160." She smiled at me, her white, devilish…toothy…
"WHAT are you?" I asked, it didn't make sense, I knew colored contacts could change eye color of vampires, but she was tan. Not a fake tan, but she drove so quickly. Something didn't match up.
"Oh, well I thought you would guess. I'm just like you. Except I don't look like a vamp for some reason. No glitter in the sun, so red eyes…not that I eat humans, and no scent for that matter. At least I think so, I've never been close enough to a werewolf to ask."
I relaxed a little; maybe she knew Carlisle or someone else. There had to be a reason why she just wanted to abduct me.
"I've been staying in the Amazon for a while now. There are some of us in there, usually veggies, but sometimes…anyway, I go in to Rio when I get bored. I saw you there, and I was amazed. It explains everything so perfectly."
"Everything what?" I asked, glancing at her car, which was now smoking from the engine.
Alexandra shrugged, got a match out, and promptly lit her car on fire. "Hello? You don't remember me at all? I knew memory loss is a factor but was I think insignificant?"
"Your car…" I was about to ask if she was crazy but she interrupted.
"Is on fire, yeah, got that. But you don't remember me!? Edward, this is obscene." Alexandra looked angry, and it was sort of comical to watch. It was kind of like Bella when she looked offended at me.
"Remember what?" I asked, thinking that Alexandra must be one of those crazy vampires I've heard about.
"We were engaged. Obviously not anymore, I figured that out when you died. Then your body went missing, I was almost went crazy looking for it. I searched everywhere, and then that doctor left. I seemed weird at the time, and I saw that he was practicing again, by accident when I traveled to Kenya, I met up with your sister Rosalie and she was talking about your coven, and I was shocked. She said you were in Brazil, which was so ironic because I live here now and then I saw you at the bar, I was trying to find you for three days and there you were. And you really don't remember me?"
She said this all fast, and if I had any doubt she was a vampire, I knew she definitely was one now. The speed of her talking was reaching fast for vampire talk, and looking at her eyes, it hit me.
She wasn't lying.
