Did I mention you guys are fucking amazing? Oh, I didn't? Well...YOU GUYS ARE AWESOME! Reviews are just pouring in and it's awesome! As a matter of fact, I'm making this chapter a bit longer to show my thanks. Now that there seems to be a lot of buzz about this I think I will raise the reviews a bit. 3 reviews=1 chapter. Should be easy right? Anyway, I just posted the outfits for the last chapter and this chapter on my profile so feel free to check it out. And enough of my babbling, Official Chapter 1 of Animal I Am Becoming starts now.

Alice grinned at the man in front of her. Her eyes were shining with love. "Where have you been? I've missed you." She said with a small playful pout. He chuckled while wrapping his arms around her waist pulling her closer to him, his eyes were dark as they stared down at her. "I was taking care of a few things, don't worry about it." He said, the last part coming out as a command but she didn't seem to hear the dark threat laced in his words. "I won't!" She agreed happily. His dark expression brightened. "Good. Now, it's your birthday and I've gained permission from your father to steal you away for a little while. After all, we are to be married soon." She was practically buzzing with excitement. "You are correct! And what is this gift you have for me?" She questioned curiously. His smile widened. "Well, first you have to close your eyes." She complied easily, putting complete trust in him. And that was her downfall.

All of a sudden there was a terrible pain in her chest causing her eyes to snap open. She locked eyes with him. His were full of triumph and hers were full of physical and mental pain. She then slowly looked down, her breath coming out in short bursts. His hand was buried in her chest, having torn through her dress. The white dress quickly and steadily turning a violent red. Then, in one movement, he jerked his hand out of her chest. Alice gasped loudly before she fell to her knees. She stared blankly in front of her, her vision darkening. In his hands, his bloody hands, was her heart. Still pulsing as if the heart still thought it was in a body.

He gave her a cocky smirk. "Goodnight Alice." He said and Alice's eyes fluttered closed as she fell to the cold ground. She blinked slowly before she stopped all movements. Her eyes were glazed over and staring at nothing. Alice was dead.

Alice gasped for breath as she awoke. Her hair clung to her forehead due to her sweating. She placed a hand over her chest where her heart used to be. Only to feel the scar that remained. It was a long pink line that wasn't too noticeable unless you looked close enough. She looked around her as if expecting him to jump out and attack. She sighed in relief, placing her head in her hands. The dream, the same fucking dream. Lately she's been having that dream a lot and it was bothering her somewhat. She used to have it a lot during the first 100 years or so but she got over it. Or...at least she thought she did. She glanced at her laptop resting on her desk and reached over and opened it one-handed. Before she jiggled the mouse causing the screen to brighten. It was 5 in the morning. She closed her laptop before getting off of her bed. She looked at the large window as she stretched out her limbs.

She then shuffled into the bathroom to start her daily routine.

~25 minutes later~

She took her time slightly and enjoyed her shower. She always felt it kind of comforting so she tried to take long showers and even baths on special occasions. She walked out of the bathroom with a black towel around her and in her hair. She then walked to her wardrobe before shifting through some of her clothes. She had a few more boxes of clothes in her living room so she'd bring them upstairs after school. After looking for a minute or so she then pulled out an outfit. She gave it a once-over before giving it a nod of approval. This would do quite nicely indeed. So, she dropped her towel and began getting dressed, doing her hair, makeup and all that jazz.

~35 minutes later~

She adjusted the hat on her head before giving herself a look over. She touched up on her red lip gloss before nodding. She then grabbed her TARDIS style book bag before leaving the room. Ever since 1963 she has been watching Doctor Who. Out of all the silly shows and movies from these years, Doctor Who is definitely her favorite. If she had to feel love, it would be for the show. Anyway, enough of that. Back to the story.

She walked to the kitchen before looking at a note pinned to the fridge. She snatched it before looking at the messy hand writing. It said:

Sorry to just burst in like that but I got you your food. Don't worry about paying me back. I still owe you for what happened in Russia. Call me sometime, let me know your still alive.

From,

Chris

She hummed in approval already feeling herself changing at the thought of food. She balled the paper up and threw it away before she opened the fridge. And in there was meat. Tons and tons of meat and even some human body parts. And a large container of blood. Now, if anyone saw this they would probably vomit on sight but this, to Alice, was heaven. She licked her lips before she tried to control herself. She looked down at her hand and sure enough she had changed. Every time she gets hungry or she is in battle she changes. Her skin, that is already pale and somewhat lifeless, turns into a grey color. And her veins become clearly visible. And her eyes turn pure black. Then, there is the whole teeth turning into razors thing but I believe that is pretty self-explanatory. Then, the nails turning into claws basically. Yeah, you get the point. She's freaking terrifying.

She closed her eyes and took a deep breath forcing herself to calm down. When she opened her eyes and looked down, her hand was back to normal. She sighed in relief before she turned back to the fridge. She would love to have a full meal. BUT, she wanted to get to school early. It was 5:19 after all and she had to get going. So, she just grabbed the pitcher of blood, got herself a glass full and then chugged it. After she was done she practically moaned in satisfaction as her hunger was somewhat handled. Should be enough to hold her until she got home from school. After licking her lips one more time, and giving herself a glance in the mirror to make sure her heavy mascara and hair was fine, she turned around on her heel and left the kitchen. After leaving the house and locking it she started her walk to her bike.

When she got there she almost hit herself in the head when she realized she'd forgotten her helmet. Oh well, it was fine. Her hair could get the whole 'sexy mess' thing going on. So, she swung her leg over her bike and took her keys out of the little holding spot on the bike. And with one movement of her wrist, the engine roared to life. She gave a small smirk before she took off. She had a bit of a drive before she'd get to school.

~7 minutes, and 34 seconds later~

Alice pulled up at the school a little while later. The parking lot was pretty empty except for the random person she'd see every once in a while. She parked her bike before getting off of it. She then placed her keys in her backpack before she walked into the school. It wasn't too hard to find the office. Luckily, there was a lady already there. Time to start acting. She stepped up the front desk and gave the woman a charming smile. "Excuse me ma'am but I'm here for my school schedule." The woman looked up at her and must've been able to tell she was new and a good person considering the bright smile she got in return. "You must be Alice. Yes, I have your schedule and everything somewhere." The woman muttered the last part under her breath as she began searching for the 'lost paperwork'.

Alice stood there patiently enough as she let her eyes wander around the school. And about 3 minutes later the woman handed her all the information. "And get this slip signed by all your teachers and returned at the end of the day okay?" Alice nodded with a small polite smile. "Yes ma'am, I will." Her manners, throughout the years, have still managed to stick with her. After leaving the office she set off to find her locker, go for a tour of the school and find her classes. She had time after all. "This should be awesome." She mumbled under her breath before beginning her hunt.

~1 Hour Later~

Students were officially showing up and the school was getting quite crowded, much to Alice's annoyance. Sure, she'd gone to school a few times in her years but 3 or 4 at the most. She mostly just pretended to be a writer and spent her time exploring different countries and such. It was always interesting and she'd only stay in 1 place just long enough so she could explore everything the city has to offer. Very exciting and dangerous at times. Ha! She even remembers that one time where she got her arm cut off. She re-attached it though so she wasn't worried. Any who, that is enough of her past. Let's get back to the present, shall we?

Alice had just placed her items in her locker when she smelt it. The blood of a witch? She turned her head in the direction only to see 2 beautiful girls. One of them was dark skinned and looked very familiar. The scent! She was a Bennett witch? Very interesting. And she let her eyes wander to the other one. Katherine? No, no, this girl was no Katherine. This girl had a certain innocent feel to her. And besides, she was human. She shook away any thoughts before she closed her locker. She then walked towards them. Well, technically she wasn't walking towards them. She was walking to somewhere that caused her to pass them. And she then had a brilliant idea. A way to have a bit of fun. When she walked past them she let her fingers just touch the witch's. She didn't look behind her but she heard the gasp.

She knew a lot about witches and she knew how they could get images or visions through touch. So, she let the witch into her mind a bit. Alice chuckled to herself. Was probably bloody. She glanced behind her only to see the witch staring after her. Yup, definitely bloody. And she also noticed the Katherine-look-alike walk into the men's bathroom. Well, she's seen weirder so she wouldn't question it. And when she wasn't looking she bumped into someone. She stumbled slightly but didn't fall. "I'm sorry, are you alright?" She heard a male voice ask. She looked up, only to see Stefan Salvatore. Yes, she knew him a long time ago in the 1800's when he was human. But, she doubted he would recognize her. She's changed a lot since then. So, she gave him a smile. "I'm fine, thank you for asking. How about you?"

He chuckled. "I'm fine." She nodded before giving him a bow of her head. "If you'll excuse me, I have to get to class." Stefan nodded quickly. "Yes, right. Well um, I'll see you around?" He questioned with a small smile and this caused her to nod. "Yes, well we'll see about that." She then walked past him hiding her smile. She was slowly getting to the witch and Stefan. And sure enough the clone. She didn't want to be friends with them unless she had to. She was just having fun now. She has a plan forming in her head and she sure as hell is going to make sure that that plan comes to be.

So, what do you think? I think this chapter went pretty well and I introduced a few characters. And I might be changing a few things around with the episodes progression in order to make sure everything fits together with Alice. And in the beginning of the chapter I revealed how Alice died. There will be more little flashbacks and everything so get hype for that. And that was that. Don't forget to review!
