8-When Things Go Right
Arianna stopped, turning to face Alan as she walked into the lounge area once again. He had the biggest, goofiest smile on his face. He kept his eyes on Arianna as she turned back to face him, sitting on the sofa that was at a ninety degree angle to the one he was sitting on.
"What are you so happy-smiley about?" The blonde asked. "You have to go back to academy later." Alan continued to smile and Arianna had to admit she was slightly creeped out by it.
"Yeah...You're right." Alan sighed, getting to his feet. He dragged his feet along the floor, falling onto the sofa right beside Arianna. "But do you know why I'm going back?"
"Yeah." Arianna replied. Of course she knew why he was going back. "To become a Tracker and come kill my people. But I shall beat you to it and kick your ass first before you have a chance at kicking mine."
Alan laughed, and turned his head down to look at Arianna. Her eyes were full of confusion. That was the reason, so why was he laughing? Arianna was never wrong. And she knew she was definitely not wrong about this one.
"Good guess, but no."
"No?" Arianna questioned. Maybe she had, for the very first time, been wrong. It seemed like a possibility, but it just was not something Arianna was going to ever admit to. "Then why are you going back?"
Alan leaned down, almost wrapping his lips around her tanned ear. It sent shivers down Arianna's spine, and she closed her eyes as Alan breathed heavily down her neck.
"To quit."
"What?" Arianna turned to face Alan, jumping out of her comfortable position with worry on her face. "Why?"
Arianna and Alan were meant to be enemies. Alan wanted to change that. He had now seen the other side; he wanted to stop trying to destroy so many innocent people's lives. Arianna was just shocked. She really now thought she had ruined Alan's life. After the conversation they had first had, she was now feeling very guilty.
"You said that before Courtney arrived here, all you cared about was being a Princess." Arianna nodded. Alan kept looking her straight in the eyes, but slowly moved his hand to hold onto Arianna's once again. "Well, now you've arrived in my life, I don't want to be a Tracker anymore."
Arianna, teary-eyed, leaned forward, wrapping her arms around Alan. He smiled, hugging her right back.
"Thank you." Alan whispered. "You have saved me from a life of misery." He gently kissed the top of Arianna's golden blonde hair, smiling into it as he refused to pull away.
Taylor pouted, sticking her bottom lip out in the sort of four-year-old manner. Courtney couldn't help but express a giggle at the sixteen-year-old vampire.
"How come Arianna gets to bag the hot guys before me?" She asked. Taylor had been moaning ever since she had discovered that Alan and Arianna were an unofficial couple now. She had really wanted to have tried her own chances with him.
"Your turn will come." Courtney assured Taylor, but she didn't stop the sulking.
"I know..." Taylor eventually sighed. "And don't worry, Courtney, so will yours."
"Oh, ha ha ha." Duncan replied sarcastically, picking up the nearest book and throwing it at his cousin. Luckily she was already dead; otherwise that blow to the head could have killed her.
"Mommy, where's Uncle Eric?" Belle asked, looking up from the TV as the commercials came on.
"He went home, sweetie." Courtney told her daughter. "Why?"
"He said he was going to show me how to use my powers the right way."
"Maybe next he comes for a visit." The brunette said, trying to not think about the next time Eric was going to come visit. It wasn't that she didn't want Eric to visit; it was more like she was worried. Eric always had a tendency to almost slip the secret out to Belle, and most of the time it was quite a close call.
"Why can't we go visit him?" Belle asked with big, hopeful blue eyes.
"Because he lives far, far away." Courtney replied, ending the conversation there.
"Guys!" Phoebe yelled as she entered the room. "Alan's quitting the Tracking Academy." She announced.
Phoebe had a knack for listening in on everyone else's conversations. She didn't do it purposely to spread gossip, she just liked being in the know when it came to important things. Such as Alan leaving the Tracking Academy.
"Yeah, so he can stay here." Courtney told everyone who was only now aware of the situation because of Phoebe.
Alan and Courtney had been up for most of the night discussing his options. It was Alan's decision to leave the Academy. He just saw himself having more of a life in Scarlatina now he had experienced a little taster.
"More like stay with Arianna." Taylor muttered. Everyone exchanged glances.
Of course everyone thought that was the real reason, and it was mostly part of the bigger reason. However, Alan did have his own mini-reasons. He may have been doing it to make his grandfather proud in the beginning, but now he was going to make his mother proud by quitting. She had never wanted him to become a Tracker, and he would have much rather satisfied her dreams for him than anyone else's.
"That's so sweet!" Bridgette cooed. It was a true romantic moment. Taylor only just gagged to show her opinion on it all.
