Three weeks later and I sit in my new throne, my eyes absorbing the script on the faded pages of the journal's Theo gave me. I am entranced by the vivid description of the young child Elisha describes. I wish I could actually talk to Elisha, she is such a fascinating person. I mean, was a fascinating person.
Alec walked in then, smiling and looking overall joyous. That radiant smile slipped when he saw what I was doing though. He groaned.
"Des, please tell me you aren't still reading those treacherous things?" He sighed, coming to sit next to me, resting his hand on mine.
"I want one." I muttered, not taking my eyes off the entrancing words.
"You what?" He asked incredulously. I lifted my eyes up to his face.
"I want an immortal child." I stated plain as day. He stared at me as if he thought I am clinically insane.
"No you don't. That Theo kid made them sound adorable and harmless. But that is not a bit true. That may be beautiful on the outside, but they are actually blood-crazy and in no control of themselves." He looked away from me, his butterscotch eyes lost in memories.
"Elisha had found the key to it all, Alec! We thought Carlisle was the first to try animal blood but that is no true! Elisha started her child out on animal blood and it made a world of difference!" I tried to make him look at him by drilling holes in the side of his head with my eyes, but it was no use. He knew if he looked he would give in to my begging smile.
"They are dangerous, Des. I would never put you in harm's way on purpose."
"But they can be controlled! I know they can be! And you also said you would always give me what I wanted.. This is what I want, more than anything." I wished Renesmee was here instead of back in New York with Jacob and the rest of the Cullens. I miss them all so much, and I know Nes would back me up! I'm glad Jane is out with Dustin taking care of some small immortal-overcrowding (they must take care of this while we rebuild our army here because so many left since their only ties here were to Aro) in a small town in Switzerland, though. She is even more against the children than Alec.
"Don't do this to me, Destiny." Alec said with an exasperated sigh. I flew up out of my throne, and in the blink of a vampire eye, took a seat on his lap, staring into his eyes.
"I have always wanted to be a mother, Alec. Always. I want to have someone to take care of instead of someone taking care of me. I want to be responsible for someone. I want this more than you could ever imagine. Please.." I made my eyes wide, staring straight through his, and by adding a little quiver of my bottom lip, he gave in.
"This will be top-secret. NO ONE will know, other than Jane, Dustin, Dragon, and Devlin. Not even the Cullens can know. Do you understand me?" His voice was so serious and his posture so rigid. Excitement coarsed through me. I nodded eagerly.
"Pick a good one." Was the last thing he said before placing a delicate kiss on my lips, and strolling out of the room. I let out a delighted squeal, and ran to get Dragon so we could plan a date to go searching for the perfect child.
