Wrote this chap on the same day as chap 17, although I might post it later on….. dunno, you might get them around the same time :D
Suddenly, I felt a blow to the stomach. I turned, to see Lily giving me a look with a smirk. I grinned.
"Thanks."
"No problem." She replied. Then, Ghost woke up, FINALLY. He yawned, then stood up and stretched.
"What's up, guys?"
"Not much. Actually, that's what we know, not what's actually happening." Lily said. Then, Ghost disappeared into thin air. It was like he'd never been there. Gradually, I felt like all my time with him was a dream. Odd. It probably was. I looked around, then shook my head. Best to just forget about it. I was probably insane, yeah, just insanity. Then, we went downstairs. Alice was sitting at the table, obviously expecting us.
"You've got some explaining to do." Max said.
"I know. You should all take a seat, we'll start at the beginning with mine and Jasper's story. Then, we'll describe what you are and everything, then questions. Ok?" she said. We nodded and sat down. Once we were all seated, Alice started to explain.
"Well, me and Jasper aren't exactly normal. We lived with a family of our own kind, until our house was burned to the ground by some townsfolk who found out what we where. Vampires that had grown wings. When we found Fang's blog, we started heading towards your location. I had no idea of Jasper's malicious intents. But, we emailed Nudge and Gazzy, and continued talking with them. I began to really like Gazzy, but Jasper was my real love. He wasn't my brother, he was my boyfriend. I loved him, but I knew he couldn't go on and keep turning or killing people, it wasn't safe or right. So, he's now a pile of ashes blowing in the wind. And our name really WAS Schmidt, by the way." Alice said, crying by the end. Most of us tried to express our sympathy.
"Wait, what?! We're VAMPIRES?!" Max shouted.
"Yeah…." Alice said faintly.
"Wait, so what does that mean, exactly?" Max asked.
"Well, you guys seem to have a very odd vampirism, I think it's because of the bird DNA. I'm fairly certain you could live on regular food, you seem an awful lot like my niece, Renesmee, who survived the fire thanks to Jake and her grandfather. She was 50 percent human. I think the reason you imprinted, or found your soul mate, is because the spirit in the 2 percent tried to over rule the other 98 percent, but failed, leaving you with only that one characteristic. Also, if you really are like Renesmee, then Angel, Gazzy, and Nudge should continue aging and growing until age 16. Or, at least until they look like adults." Alice replied.
This…. This was so weird, even for us. I wonder what advantages this would give us.
"Excuse me? What advantages will this give us?" Fang asked, right as I was thinking it.
"Well, you'll be stronger, faster, and more attractive." Alice said, smiling.
And that's when Nudge passed out.
