Sorry it's taken me FOREVER to add on to any of my stories. With school and High School Musical, by life has just been chaotic! Well, here it is, and as always, please reveiw!
"Edward! Edward!" Alicia yelled, banging onto the door of the house she assumed was his. He had once given her his address so she could mail him something, so she had ran as quickly home as she could and grabbed his address. It was a few hours later, and she was worried out of her mind for Brandy. There was no telling what kind of terrifying things that man had done to her while she was gone. That was what had given the shy girl who was scared to even call someone on the phone because she may be interrupting something the power to drive to a house she had never been to, and demand a person she only assumed still lived there.
A few seconds later, a beautiful woman Alicia assume was in her early thirties came to the door.
"Yes my dear? What is it that you need?" she said with a voice as sweet as music, with an almost too excited smile on her face as she looked out into the darkness at Alicia.
"I need to see Edward soon. As quickly as I can," Alicia answered, looking at the woman with desperate eyes.
"My son? Fine then, come in," she said, motioning towards a comfy looking couch for Alicia to sit in. She walked towards the seat, but didn't take it. She wasn't in the mood to sit. Her best friend's very life was in danger and good time was being wasted while this woman took her time calling Edward to tell him someone was here to see him.
"Mother, send them away. Rosemary and I were about to discuss the wedding plans," Alicia heard a voice say. He stopped at the top of the stairs, and stared at her, at first pretending not to know who she was, but then something sparked in his eyes.
"Alicia! What are you doing here?" Edward asked, quickly dashing down the stairs, almost using his vampire speed, but stopping himself since his mother was watching him. If she saw him use his vampire powers in front of Alicia, she would assume he had done it in front of other humans, and then the annoying questioning would begin.
"Edward, it's-" she started, but another voice interrupted her.
"Edward, love, dear, send them away quickly so we can get back to discussing our future together," a blonde girl said as she appeared at the top of the stairs, wearing nothing but a bathrobe. That had to be that girl Brandy had been talking about… Rosemary, Alicia thought her name was.
"I'll be back in a minute," Edward said, looking up at her with a devious smile, "and you better be ready when I come back."
Rosemary let out a little squeal of little girlish excitement, though Alicia knew the way she would be getting ready would be nothing but little girlish.
"Mother, if you'd excuse us, I'd like to talk to Alicia in private," Edward said, nodding towards his mother.
"Of course," she said, leaving the room, her smile never leaving her face.
"Come this way. You never know when Jack is listening," Edward said, grabbing Alicia rather roughly on the arm and pulling her outside the door, almost slamming it as he went through it.
"Is Brandy ok?" were the first words out of Edward's mouth, as soon as the door was shut.
Alicia felt as she broke down in tears, despite trying to hold them back.
"I couldn't do anything… I tried… He was too strong for me," Alicia said through the sobs, trying to get at least some of the story through to Edward. Edward only stared back at her, an unreadable expression on his face that seems to have the slightest tinge of guilt and sorrow.
"It was McCaig," where the last words she was able to get out of her mouth before Edward broke into a terrifying fit of rage.
"I told that man to leave her alone!" he yelled, slamming his fist into the whitewash column of the house that was beside him, splintering the wood in his wake. Alicia jumped backwards off the porch, scared of what he would do next. Brandy was right… He was just as dangerous as that other vampire.
"How long as he had her? A few hours? A few minutes would have been long enough for him," Edward said, turning his glare towards Alicia.
"About four hours," Alicia mumbled, trying not to get Edward's wrath unleash on her. She hadn't thought about it, but it had gotten dark while she was running home. It was now probably eight or nine at night, and the full moon had already risen above them.
"That bastard. He better not have laid a hand on her," Edward growled still glaring at Alicia even though his comment was directed at her. The only time she had ever seen him this mad before was when this boy had flirted with Brandy and kept aggravating her to the point she was scared he was going to attack her. It was times like this when Brandy was in danger or threaten that Edward cussed. The rest of the time he used a more gentleman-like language.
"Come on," Edward said, grabbing Alicia and pulling her towards the garage that held his car.
"But we have no idea where he is! I realize you're upset since I am too, but we don't need to just rush into this," Alicia said as Edward dragged her across the yard by her arm.
"Look," Edward said, turning around to face Alicia suddenly. "Did Brandy not tell you about me being a vampire? I'm just as strong, if not stronger than that guy, but if you don't believe me, you can stay here where someone might make you into a snack."
"Well, I, err," Alicia said, not quite sure how to respond to that.
"See? Now come on," Edward said, as the garage door opened to reveal Edward's cars along with a few others.
"Get in," he demanded as he opened Alicia's door in what seemed like a flash of light, and quickly dashed to his a spilt second later. Alicia was about to shut her door when something caught it, preventing it from closing.
She looked up to see what was keeping her door from closing, but she was greeted by a pair of brown eyes.
"So where exactly are you running off to? Especially with Rose all up in your room, striping and then changing like there ain't no tomorrow. She said she was trying to find the prefect outfit for her 'first time.' I mean, it's not like she's going to be wearing them for very long, plus I know it's not her first time anyway. That girl is not a virgin three times over. It's amazing the kind of things servants will tell you," the girl who had caught my door said, rambling on and on.
"Heather, now is not the time," Edward growled at the girl. The girl in front of her was a lot shorter than Alicia since her head barely reached the top of the car, but Alicia still wasn't sure she would mess with her. She had a swimmer's build, with semi-muscular arms and legs. She was small and compact, but not that small that she wouldn't be able to hold her own in a fight of any kind.
"Why not? Are you scared Rose's gonna be mad as hell when she sees you're running off with some other girl?" Heather said, a devious smile on her face.
"Get in the back of the car. Now," Edward growled at her, revving up the rather noisy engine.
"Ok, ok, don't be so pushy!" she said, getting into the back seat and slamming the door behind her. Edward only made a growling noise as the garage door sprang up and he sped out the opening at over a hundred miles an hour.
"So why am I here exactly? So I won't tell Rose you're going somewhere with some other human girl I've never seen before? Is that it?" Heather asked, leaning forward with her head between Alicia and Edward. She apparently wasn't scared of Edward's driving since she wasn't sitting down on the actual seat and she didn't have on her seat belt which had been the first thing Alicia had grabbed when they'd sped out of the garage.
"I'm going to need help. We're going to rescue someone I should have never involved in this mess in the first place," Edward said in an almost incoherent mumble versus of the blaring of his car's engine.
"So a rescue mission. That could be kind of cool I guess. Rose's still gonna be pissed," Heather said, a smile on her face.
Edward didn't answer, but instead, went flying off the road and onto a path Alicia hadn't even seen until they were already racing down it.
"How do you know which way to go," Alicia managed to mumbled out, scared out of her mind for her own life now on top of her best friend's.
"I'm only guessing based on what I figure he wants her for," Edward said, his eyes on the road with determination on his face.
"And that would be her blood, I guess," Alicia said, the words coming out easier despite her fear this time.
"Yes, but that's not all. He's not the only one that's going to want her blood. He's going to take some for his own and then auction more of her blood off to the highest bidder," Edward said, sadness momentarily sweeping across his face before being replaced by determination again.
"Why not just go kidnap someone else? Why did it have to be Brandy?" Alicia said. She was shocked that she had resigned that fate to someone else, but she still didn't understand why it had to be Brandy, but then again, isn't it always like that? Don't we always wish the bad things would happen to other people even though we wished they never would have happened to us?
"Because she special…. Because…." Edward started, but for some reason he couldn't bring himself to say the last word. He knew it was true, but they would never believe him. No one would ever believe after what had happened, but he had to try. He had thought it was for the best, but it apparently hadn't been.
He was too busy thinking to pay attention to where he was going as he went around a curve and lost control.
"It's because I love her," he finished, right before the car slammed into a huge, ancient pine tree.
So what did you think of that? Introducing a new character just to have her get crashed into a tree at a hundrend miles an hour? XD More drama. I'm just a few dramatic person. Please reveiw!
