It's getting closer and closer to the wedding day, and we could all hear Brigid trying to convince an unwilling Felix to change her before hand. Alec caught up to him one day while we were making the dress. I could hear them, but Brigid and Gianna couldn't.

"What do you want, Alec?" Felix was a little testy about the whole 'changing her' thing. Alec just stayed calm, trying to calm Felix into talking about was going to become one of us, whether he like it or not. Or she was going to die. And none of us wanted Felix moping for the rest of eternity. She was going to be one of us if I had anything to say about it.

"Felix, think about this for a minute. She has two options. One, she becomes one of us." Felix started to interrupt, but Alec cut him off angrily. "Or two, she dies. And none of us want to see you unhappy forever. So make your desicion." I was so shocked at Alec's tone of voice that I accidently pricked Brigid with a straight pin.

The wound bubbled up blood, and I apologized quickly, holding my breath. "Gianna! Take care of that," I barked sharply. "We're done for the day!" I was out the door in an instant, shutting it behind me.

Felix was upon me quickly, growling. He had me pinned against the wall, and I could barely move."What happened! I smelled her blood!" He was snarling, wait, maybe that was Alec. Alec was standing right behind him, glaring. Oveprotective fool.

"Felix. Put me down." I was set down, but still cornered. "Felix, just calm down. She's fine. I was listening to you two idiots, and poked her with a pin! It bled some, so I ran." He backed off. "Gianna is taking care of her. I really think you need to see the leaders about this. Soon."

He backed off more, leaving me room to get out of the corner and stand next to Alec. Felix sighed heavily, saying, "I guess you're right."

"Oh, I know I'm right. Go. Now." He sped off, leaving Alec and I alone in the hallway. I interlaced our fingers, and started walking to our room. "You know what this reminds me of, don't you?" We were in our room now. I sat down on the king size bed. (Which was mostly for show.) He sat next to me and pulled me into his lap.

"And what would that be?"

"The night I was changed." He fell quiet. That was still a touchy subject, even after all these years.

Being King, my father tried to please everyone. But when he learned that he couldn't, it was already too lat. The man had let the snake loose, and it had bitten me. The venom was instantly paralyzing. I couldn'tmove; couldn't scream. It was as if Alec was using his 'gift' on me, though I knew he wasn't.

Lucky for me, or unlucky, depending on how you look at it, the =venom worked slowly. Slow enough that Alec had time to find me. He burst into the room. And that's all I can remember, until the burning. The burning. It was horrible, dreadful, unbearing pain. There aren't even words to describe it. It was like a fire burning deep inside my soul. And from what Alec told me, there was nothing that I could do to stop it. THat it would stop on its own.

I knew screaming would do no good, though I did it anyway. The burn started to fade, and everything else became clearer by the second. Color flooded my eyes as I emerged victorious from the burning. I was thirsty. The raw feeling in my throat getting worse the more I thought about it.

Alec snapped me out of my thoughts by kissing the top of my ear. I giggled, turning to face him. His lips came over mine lightly. A bloodcurling scream filledd the castle, followed by the scent of human blood. Brigid's blood. I pulled away from him sharply, cursing.

"Felix!" I growled, knowing he could hear me. I was in Brigid's room in a split second, dragging Felix out by his ear. "Dammit, Felix! What the hell do you think you're doing?" I snarled, pinning him against the wall. "The wedding was supo=posed to be in three days!" By that time, the rest of the gurad showed up.

Alec put a restraining hand on my shoulder, and I let go of Felix, stepping back. Almost immiediatly, he was on the ground writhing in pain. Jane was smiling down on him cruelly. I called her name, causing her to break concentration.

Unfortunately, Aro was wating in our room when Alec and I returned. He wanted an explanation.
