Chapter 15: Changed

(Alec's POV)

I sat against the wall while holding Violet's hand. It's almost been three days since I bit her and I watched as she slowly changed. I was surprised at first when her hair changed to a dark red, but then I remembered that her mother had the same color hair in the pictures. I froze when her heart pick up in pace.

'This is it.' I thought and released her from my gift. I kneeled next to her and placed a hand on her shoulder. I closed my eyes and listened to the last beats of her heart.

"Violet?" I whispered when her heart had stopped. Her eyes opened and bright red eyes locked with my black ones. I braced myself for the newborn outrage that was common when vampires first wake up.

"Alec," she said softly in a beautiful voice, "why are you holding me down?" I looked at her confused and reluctantly released my hold on her. I watched her sit up and look around. After a few minutes she finally turned her gaze to me.

"What wrong?" she asked noticing my stiff posture.

"Well," I said watching her every move, "you're very tame for a new born, are you thirsty at all?" she looked at me confused for a moment then spoke.

"There's a slight burn in my throat." She said, "but it's easy to ignore." I stared blankly at her.

"You're exactly like Bella," I finally said and she raised her eyebrow.

"I mean," I continued, "you've skipped the newborn phase." She frowned a little.

"Is that a bad thing?" she asked and I smiled.

"Well, no," I replied then smirked, "I guess I was just looking forward to tackling you." Violet rolled her eyes and laughed a little.

"What now?" she asked and I slowly moved to sit by her.

"We find a way to get out of here." I said and she looked around.

"And how do you plan on doing that?" she asked and I smiled down at her.

"No idea." She rolled her eyes and we fell into silence. Suddenly the door opened and Riley appeared.

"Well you didn't kill her," he said, "what a shame." Violet quickly stood up and I followed placing a hand on her shoulder.

"This is no way to treat a woman," she hissed and I couldn't believe how much it turned me on.

"Deal with it." Riley said and walked away. I'm still trying to figure out why he's keeping us alive. I sighed and pulled Violet back to me wrapping my arms around her. She remained stiff for a moment then relaxed into my embrace. We sat against the back wall and Violet rested her head on my shoulder.

"How are you?" I asked and she looked up at me, "I mean how is the burn in your throat?"

"It's bothering me," she admitted, "but I can ignore it."

"Not for long though," I replied standing up and walking over to the bars, "you're going to need blood soon." I looked around the room trying to find a weakness in the bars and I found it. The bolts that held the door to the bars was made of a weak metal.

"Violet," I said quietly so only she could hear me, "come here." I heard her stand up and slowly walk over to me.

"What?" she asked then spoke in a soft tone when I shushed her, "what is it?"

"We can get out of here," I said, "so prepare to run." She nodded and grabbed onto my shirt while I undid the bolts. I quietly pulled the door away from the bars and set it aside. I quickly took Violet's hand and we walked up the stairs. I opened the door to find that the hall was empty. I tugged on Violet's hand and we ran down the hall stopping at every corner to check for people. Finally, we found an exit and ran out.

"Hurry," I said and we took off at full speed. I will admit that I got annoyed because Violet was a little faster than me. Being a guy, I tried to match her speed and noticed her smiling at me.

"Just run." I muttered and she laughed. We ran for miles and finally slowed down when Seattle came into view.

"Are they following us?" Violet asked as we stopped at the edge of the city. I looked behind us and listened.

"Not yet." I said, "but we have time now to get something to drink and get to the Cullens."

I led Violet to an alley way in the city near a night club. It was dark outside and the club had a constant flow of people coming and going. I wrapped an arm around Violet's waist watching two women walking towards the alley we were in.

"Alec," Violet said in a quiet voice, "I can't." I looked down at her and tightened my grip on her waist.

"You'll be fine," I said and she shook her head.

"I can't kill anyone," she said then thought for a minute, "or any animal."

"You need blood to survive." I said trying to hide my annoyance. She shook her head and looked up at me with pleading eyes. I looked back at the two women walking towards us, debating. After a minute I let out a frustrated growl and pulled Violet into the shadows. I wrapped my arms around her waist and pulled her closer to my chest. She grabbed my shirt in her hands and buried her face in my chest. I listened as the two women passed by the alley laughing and clearly drunk.

"I'm sorry." Violet muttered into my chest. I sighed and pulled away then grabbed her hand.

"We'll figure something out," I said, "now let's go." She nodded and followed me back to Forks. We were crossing into the La Push area when we were surrounded by wolves. I stood in front of Violet growing, but knew I didn't have enough strength to fight them. A large wolf with brown fur moved closer to us and I growled in warning.

"Jacob wait!" I heard a familiar voice said. Violet and I looked over to see Bella and Edward running towards us, "they're our friends." The wolves backed off and ran into the woods.

"Hurry," Edward said coming up to us, "we're not supposed to be here."

(Aro's POV)

I was sitting in Carlisle's living room with the others when the front door opened. Two familiar scents came into the room and a second later Alec and Violet showed up. My eyes landed on Violet and I couldn't keep the smile off my face.

"Alec!" Jane ran up to her brother and threw her arms around him. He stumbled and hugged her back looking exhausted.

"You look thirsty," she said pulling away, "why didn't you hunt on your way back."

"I tried," he said trialing off and looking at Violet who was looking at the ground. I held out my hand and he placed his fingers on my hand.

"So Violet skipped the new born phase like Bella," I said when I released his hand, "they must have similar gifts." Carlisle stepped forward then and looked at Violet.

"Are you thirsty?" he asked kindly and I noticed that Alec was glaring at him.

"A little," she admitted, "but I really don't want to kill anything." I sighed knowing that this was going to be a problem with her. I looked at Alec who was looking beyond thirsty.

"Alec," I said and he looked at me, "go out and hunt; Jane and Felix will go with you." He hesitated then nodded. Violet walked up to the guest room and I heard her close the door; Demetri followed her a minute later.

"She can't survive without blood," Carlisle said and I sighed.

"I agree with Alec though Carlisle," I said, "she needs to drink human blood to be strong; especially if she's going to be traveling on her own." He sighed then nodded.

"I can help then." He said then walked out.

(Demetri's POV)

I followed Violet up to the guest room and walked into the room while shutting the door behind me. She was laying on the couch looking out the window.

"Hay," I said walking over to her she looked up at me and smiled a little.

"Hi," she replied sitting up so I could sit by her.

"What's on your mind?" I asked and she sighed.

"I think Alec is mad at me because I couldn't kill those women earlier." She said looking at her hands.

"Alec is very complicated," I said, "it's hard to tell what he's feeling; he's very good at hiding his emotions."

"He's mad." She said again and I shook my head.

"No Violet," I said taking her hand, "I think he's more worried than mad."

"Why worried?" she asked looking up at me.

"Because vampires have to drink blood," I explained, "it's like humans and food; it gives us strength."

"But do I have to kill living creatures?"

"That's how vampires survive," I said, "you will learn to live with it." She laid back down resting her head in my lap. I leaned back into the couch and softly stroked her red hair.

"I thought you were a natural black," I said and she laughed.

"No. I dyed my hair to black when I was eleven because people kept saying I looked like my mom. It just bothered me because it was a constant reminder that she was gone."

"Well I like your hair red," I said and she smile dup at me.

"Don't get used to it," she said, "I'm going to dye it."

"What color?" I asked and she thought for a minute.

"Pink maybe." She said and I laughed.

"Alec can't stand the color pink." I replied, "it annoys him."

"Pint it is then." I laughed harder and she smiled up at me.

"Will you really do that?" I asked and she shrugged.

"Actually," she said, "I'm not sure what color I'm going to dye my hair." We fell into silence again as I continued to stroke her hair.

"You look very beautiful by the way," I said and she smiled.

"Thanks." She said sitting up to look at me.

"You're welcome." I said then kissed her on the cheek. We heard the door open and Alec was standing there with a cup in his hand.

"What are you doing?" he hissed glaring at me. Violet sighed and rolled her eyes while I stood up.

"Talking." I replied then walked out, shutting the door behind me.

(Alec's POV)

I was ready to kill Demetri when I saw how close he was to Violet. When he walked out and shut the door, I walked over to Violet.

"Here," I said handing her the glass of human blood while sitting next to her. She took the glass and stared at it.

"What now?" I groaned and she looked up at me.

"I don't know." She said, "It's just different and weird..." she trailed off and I sighed.

"It's good," I replied, "now drink." She looked back down at the glass and I held back a growl when she didn't drink. All she needed to do was taste it then she'll be ok. I grabbed the cup form her and set it on the side table. She looked up at me confused and I grabbed her waist and pulled her up to straddle me.

"You're infuriating you know that." I said wrapping my arms around her while she placed her hands on my shoulders. She smiled a little at my comment and sighed.

"I'm sorry," she said, "I just need time."

"Close your eyes." I said and she looked at me confused, but obliged. I quickly grabbed the glass and sipped some blood making sure the taste would linger in my mouth. I set the glass down and quickly kissed her. She gasped, surprised, and I slipped my tong into her mouth. She moaned loudly and tied to get closer to me. I broke the kiss and she pouted.

"Did that taste good?" I asked and she smiled.

"Yes, you taste good." I smiled and she raised an eyebrow.

"That was the taste of blood." I told her and she looked surprised. Violet glanced at the glass and I moved her off my lap and handed her the cup. She looked up at me and I smiled a little hoping she would finally give in. Violet took a deep breath then closed her eyes; she sipped the blood at first then quickly finished it. I breathe a sigh of relief when she finished. I grabbed the cup form her and placed it on the table.

"You ok now?" I asked and she turned and smiled at me. I quickly leaned forward and licked a small amount of blood off the corner of her mouth. She wrapped her arms around my neck and moved to straddle me again.

"I'll be ok," she said, "I'm sorry I worried you." I huffed and brought her lips to mine.

"Just don't do it again." I said breaking the kiss she smiled and I kissed her again. I slipped my tong into her mouth and we both moaned. I moved my hands to her thighs and pushed her back onto the couch. I broke the kiss and started to kiss down her neck.

"Paris." She said making me stop and look up at her confused.

"Huh?"

"My first destination is Paris," she explained, "I want to open that studio and live there for a few years." I pursed my lips together and sat up pulling her with me.

"I would feel better if you came back with me to Volterra." I said and she shook her head.

"We made a promise Alec," she said kissing me on the cheek, "I'm going to hold you to it."

"What do you want form me?" I asked looking at her, "why do I have to wait to tell you how I feel?" she was about to speak, but Aro walked into the room with Marcus and Caius.

"I understand that you want to leave for Paris soon," Aro said and I crossed my arms.

"Yes," Violet responded, "I've always wanted to live in Paris." Aro nodded and looked at me.

"Alec," he said, "go help the others kill that new born that kidnapped you. The Wolves are helping you since Riley can block your gifts." I nodded and quickly left the room.

(Aro's POV)

I waited until I heard Alec leave to speak.

"Violet come down stairs," I said, "I'd like a friend to meet you." She nodded and followed me and my brothers to the living room. Eleazar was already there talking with Carlisle.

"Violet," I smiled, "this is Eleazar."

"Nice to meet you." Violet smiled shaking his hand.

"Likewise." He responded with a smile then looked at me with his eye brows raised.

"She is a shield like Bella," Eleazar said, "she can also control the elements like the boy form the Egyptian coven." Violet blinked and looked at me.

"What's he saying?" she asked.

"Eleazar's gift is to tell what other vampires gifts are," I explained, "those are your gifts."

"What do you mean I can control the elements?" she asked Eleazar and he smiled.

"The elements," he said, "Earth, wind, fire, and water; maybe even the weather."

"How do I do that?" she asked and he shrugged.

"You just do." I thanked Eleazar while Violet talked with Bella. He also told me that Violet may have a gift similar to Kate's, the woman in his coven; but he couldn't be positive. After Eleazar left I returned to the living room to join the conversations. I watched Violet laugh and joke with Bella while I talked with Carlisle.

I knew Violet was going to be an amazing vampire and her gifts just added to how amazing she is.

(Alec's POV)

I sat down on the couch in my room happy to be home. We spent another month in Forks before returning to Volterra. It was easy to kill Riley and his followers with the wolves help, but I would never admit that. Violet left to Paris the same day we left Forks. I bought her a studio with an apartment above it in Paris.

I sighed and took off my jacked throwing it onto my bed. I stopped when a note fell out of the pocked. I picked up the small envelope and sat down on my bed. I opened it and pulled out a note written by Violet.

My reason for holding you to our promise is that distance makes the heart grow fonder. I look forward to seeing you in one year.

~Violet~

'One year.' I thought folding the paper.
