Nikkie

"No," I told him.

"Why not?"

"Because I said no."

"Why are you saying no?"

"Because. I said. No."

Alec sighed. "Just tell me why you have a problem with me killing humans and I'll shut up." I sighed and threw my hood over my head. "Because...just because." Alec sighed again and threw his hood over his head. He was pissed. I sighed heavily as well. "Just don't do it when I'm around, alright?"

He shrugged. "Whatever you say," He muttered.

We went through a tunnel, and I saw a huge festival going on. It was night time, so it might have just started or was ending. "Tomorrow is Saint Marcus day," Alec reminded me. "Oh yeah," I replied. "I'm gonna have to buy Elena some plastic fang's like I promised her." I rubbed my chin looking around. Alec grinned.

I thought for a moment. "So have you found anything about if some of...them are alive?" I shuttered a little. Alec caught it, and brushed his fingers over my face soothingly. "We haven't found anything," He muttered. "Don't worry, no one will hurt you." I nodded at him. "I feel kinda weak. You having to walk me to the air port every time I leave, and Elena and Ysabelle having to pick me up from there."

"It's only for a little while," He replied softly. "And you shouldn't feel weak. The fact that your standing here proves your not." I shrugged. "I guess so. But still." He shrugged as we both walked towards the streets.

"I really don't think that any of them are alive though Nikkie," He said quietly and seriously as a little girl ran passed us on the crowded street. "Well Ysabelle said that one lady got away, and so did that kid."

"That was Maddalena and Joanna," Alec said half laughing. "They won't do anything, or they would have done it by now."

"But Demetri can't even find her."

"Then that means she's long gone."

I sighed. I couldn't win an argument with him. A few teenage boys walked past us, and I saw their eyes all look over me where I did not want to be looked at. I glanced at Alec innocently, and he hissed, making the boys jump back. Literally. They all stuttered at Alec, who just smirked and they walked away, rather quickly.

"Protective little thing, aren't you?" I asked as I walked closer to him and kissed his cheek. He only chuckled a little.

Unknown character

"Will you be needing anything ma'am?"

I glanced up at my waiter. He was very attracted to me, it was for sure. My partner cleared his throat at him, and the waiter snapped back into real posture. "No," I said my eyes casting over my menu for cover. "Thank you."

"I'll take your menu?"

I looked at him for a long moment, then gave it to him. I looked at my partner. We had both changed our looks after what had happened a few months ago. He died his hair from black to blonde, and my hair went from white to brown, and I wore brown contacts consistently. It was very hard to cover up with something that made me look tan as well.

"What exactly are you looking for?" He asked softly. I shook my head, and kept my eyes down. He sighed, and leaned back in his chair.

I use to actually come here sometimes on Saint Marcus day. Not a lot, now though. I just wanted to see her, to see if she was actually alive now.

And I saw her.

Nickoletta walked side by side with that Volturi scum, talking softly. I laughed. The Alpha crooked his head at me. "She's really alive," I muttered. He glanced back at them and nodded. "I guess she is. So can we go now? I really don't like this place."

I turned my gaze to him. "Tense thing, aren't you?" He rolled his eyes, as we stood up. He put his dark shades back on as I put my own on.

Suddenly Joanna ran at a human speed right beside Nickoletta. My eyes got wide, and I felt the urge to scream, but I swallowed it down. She ran to me, and smiled. "Look Mom," She started calling me mom now, covering up my real name. She held up a necklace with a tooth hanging from it. "It's a shark tooth!"

A man came running through the crowd, and he looked like he was looking for something. Joanna hid behind me. The man looked at me. "Ma'am, have you seen a little girl around her? About this big," He held his hand up a few feet above the ground. "She stole a necklace from my booth!"

I grinned slightly. "Yes, I think she went that way," I pointed in an unknown direction. He nodded, and dashed that way. I glanced down at Joanna, who smiled sheepishly and clamped her necklace on. I sighed a little, and I took her hand in mine. "Let's go Hannah," I muttered. We all blended in with the crowd, being unseen by the two other creatures.

"Maddalena," He whispered. "What are we gonna get them or something?" Alpha muttered. I shot him a frantic look.

"Hell no," I whispered. "We'll get killed!"

"Then what are we doing here?"

I sighed again. "Listen to me," I said sternly. "I came for my own personal reasons. We're coming, and we're going. Never coming back, alright?"

He nodded. "Where we going?"

"I like Africa," Joanna cut in looking up smiling. I looked at Alpha, who had a look that said, 'are you serious?'

"Yes," I said smiling. "I think Africa would be perfect darling." She smiled and played with her Shark Tooth.

"So we're not going to do anything?"

"No," I told him. "We're not going to the States for those Bloodhound girls. We're not staying here for the Volturi. We're going far, far, away now. Never coming back. We can't do anything. We're dead, got it?"

He nodded. "Got it."

So in case you were wondering where Maddalena, the Alpha and Jonna, or 'Hannah' went, go look in Africa, maybe you'll get a little luck there:P
