Me: Oops… anyway, I better get started. Here's the recap and then the story! =)
Alice and Shun had decided to be friends… well for now.
Anubias gave Alice a love potion.
Now Alice doesn't remember Shun.
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN BAKUGAN, TWILIGHT OR INUYASHA!
Anubias' P.O.V.
"I did it… she's hypnotized. She really believes she loves me," I smirked. We were in that same dark room again. The jewel still sat in the same spot. No one dared touch it.
"Good then our plan will work out just fine," his smile mirrored mine. Soon there will be no more werewolves and we will be the most powerful race. People will listen to us and I will get the power I've always wanted… but what about Alice? Was I going to really hurt my best friend? Was I going to use her? It's too late to turn back…
The Next Morning…
Shun's P.O.V.
I stood next to the school door not believing what I was seeing… I knew Alice wanted to make her grandfather happy but I never knew she would take it that far… Anubias had his arms protectively around her body. She was blushing as he whispered something in her ear… he saw me staring at them and smirked. He kissed her on the cheek and gave me one last look before leaving. I didn't want to be jealous but I couldn't help it. Alice looked like she hadn't seen me there as she walked pass me soundlessly. I followed her to her locker and couldn't stand it anymore. Why wasn't she talking?
"You're with him now…" I said it bluntly and meaner than I meant to. She didn't answer me… I watched as she opened her locker and got some books out… still no answer. I took her wrist and spun her around so her back was against the locker. She stared at me shocked, "Why are you ignoring me?"
"I-I… I'm sorry I didn't know you were talking to me…" she sounded frightened as she stood there in front of me. I had a feeling Anubias wasn't good since the first day I saw him and even though I told her that we could still be friends didn't mean my feelings for her had left… I still really cared.
"You've decided to go out with Anubias, right?" I asked softly.
"Um I'm sorry if this sounds rude but do I know you…?" she stared at me confused. What was she talking about?
"Alice… what do you mean?" I questioned shocked. I released her wrist and stood there with confusion written all over my face… it must have been Anubias' doing! Who else would do something so cruel?
"I know you're a student here but I haven't seen you before," she stated honestly. She looked so innocent… what did Anubias do to her? I felt myself getting angrier and angrier by the moment. I felt a gentle hand touch my shoulder. I turned to the lost girl and gripped her on the shoulders. I pinned her against the lockers and made her look at me.
"Alice, wake up! What's happening? What did he do to you?" I asked panicking.
Alice's P.O.V.
What was going on? The boy had both of his hands on my shoulders and I was pinned to the lockers. His gripped tightened as he asked the questions. His nails felt sharp as he dug them into my shoulders. I gently touched his arm and tried to pull it away from me. Then I turned to his piercing golden orbs and gasped. They looked so familiar… I had seen him before… hadn't I? My head started to hurt as I forced myself to think harder. Pictures of the past flashed before my eyes… I saw a wolf… then the same boy… then a kiss between us. I cried in pain and clutched the side of my head.
"Alice! Alice!" his touch felt smooth and gentle now… he had his arms around me and was trying to support my weight.
"I-I…." I didn't know what to say. The pictures had disappeared and I was at school again. My friends Mira and Chan were there too… along with Ace and Joe. They looked at me worriedly. I felt myself being lifted off the floor and turned my head to face the boy.
"You should go home," he said bluntly.
"Yeah Alice, listen to Shun. You look kind of pale," Chan bit her lip... so his name is Shun… Joe had his arm around Chan and I knew something must have happened. I couldn't help but smile and that made her blush. Then I turned back to Shun.
"I'll be fine, can you put me down. I can walk," I looked at his expression carefully but he showed nothing… he just started to walk me to the office. I stopped trying to ask him to put me down. He didn't seem to want to. I laid my head on his chest… I felt like I could trust him even after what happened.
At the Café…
Anubias' P.O.V.
I sat alone watching both Alice and Shun. Alice was laughing and talking to Runo while Shun was constantly glancing at her and keeping an eye on me. He was on to me… I looked at Alice again. Did she know? I only gave her half the potion last time. That wasn't enough and the first time was supposedly the most crucial. The café was full with oblivious people laughing and just hanging out… I laughed to myself silently. Humans were imbeciles and so were werewolves. I took out the small bottle and squeezed a drop of it into the cup of water.
"What do you think you're doing?" I turned around and was definitely surprised… it wasn't Shun who stood before me… it was Spectra.
"Come to ask for help," I smirked.
"I only want half of the jewel," he sat down in front of me. He was wearing some sort of cape so no one would see him.
"That's half too many," I was tired of his games.
"We both know that you used to love Alice… but love has vanished hasn't it? All you want is power. You and I are the same Anubias," he stated smartly. He was right. Before I found out about the jewel, there was a time I truly loved Alice but now, all I wanted was her power…
"Fine, I'll think about it. What are you planning to do?" I questioned.
"How about you finish your job first before I start mine," he stood up before I could answer and left…
Alice's P.O.V.
"Oh no!" I panicked.
"What's wrong?" Dan asked as he approached Runo and hugged her. This time, she didn't push him away.
"Is it the twenty-ninth today?" I questioned. They both nodded. I had completely lost track of time. The skating competition was in a few days!
"Yeah why?" Runo asked.
"It's a few days until the competition. I need to go practice. I'll see you guys tomorrow," I smiled and then hurried to where Anubias was sitting.
"Here, have some water first," he handed me a glass of water and I took it gladly. I drank the whole cup and then left the café. We were done doing our steps but we still needed to perfect them. We got into his car and drove to the rink. He held my hand all the way and it reminded me of Shun and my flashback… did that really happen? Then my head started hurting again. I bit my lip and waited for it to end… I turned to Anubias and he didn't seem to notice. I looked out the window to continue my thinking… but I couldn't remember. What was I just thinking about?
"We're here," Anubias announced and then got out of the car. He opened the door for me and I thanked him. I kept thinking… thinking about nothing. I couldn't remember. Was I losing it? I tried to forget about it. I needed to focus on skating. I took a deep breath and walked into the arena with Anubias by my side.
After Skating…
(Still Alice's P.O.V.)
There was a red headed girl lying on the ground… she was covered in heavy chains that were weighing her down to the ground. There was a pool of blood under her. Her face was scratched repeatedly and she looked lifeless.
"No! Please don't leave me!" a boy with black hair tied back ran towards the girl. He kneels down beside her and the girl tries to lift herself up but falls in a matter of seconds. The boy pulls her body gently towards him until her head was on his lap. He strokes her hair gently. The girl looks up at him and smiles weakly.
"Promise me you'll be happy…" she whispered.
"I can't," the boy was crying… "Not unless you promise we'll meet each other again in another lifetime."
"I promise…" the girl smiles once more before her body went limp and her head hits his lap. The boy acted quickly. He got one of the chains off of her and jumps on to a tree. Then he ties one end on to a branch and the other around his neck.
"No matter what happens, I will always love you," he whispered before jumping off the branch. He didn't struggle even though he was losing air quickly. He just waited for his death to come…
I had only taken a nap on the couch… the boy looked so familiar. I knew I was the girl's reincarnation and it scared me but I kept thinking about the boy… to the tell truth I was more worried about him than me. I was after all partially vampire and it wouldn't make sense if I died… well it can happen but not as likely as being fully human. That boy might be human… I sighed and hit myself in the head. What had been going on today and yesterday?
Shun's P.O.V.
I couldn't stop worrying about Alice. She was human after all and Anubias was a vampire… what if he killed her? He probably knows about her shard… Knock Knock
"What do you want Dan?" I asked annoyed. I was sitting on my bed with a bunch of scrunched up pieces of paper around me. I was trying to make a perfect drawing of Alice but I couldn't get her eyes right… they didn't have the same love I had seen before.
"Buddy, come down for…" he started but I through a pillow at his face and he stepped back… nearly crashing into the wall, "What on earth was that for?"
"For bothering me for the past hour," I glared and got off my bed. He was going to throw the pillow back at me but I caught it.
"Okay fine. Don't let me hit you," he joked and turned to leave. I followed him down the stairs to the living room. Our whole pack including Billy and Marucho were there.
"So we all know the plan?" Runo questioned.
"What plan?" I asked. They all turned to look at me and Julie decided to explain.
"The plan to steal the shard… it's very simple actually. All we need to do is…" she sounded as if she didn't care about Alice.
"Why do we need to do this?" I interrupted. Everyone fell silent.
"Shun, that was our goal all along. You're not telling us you're backing out… are you?" Dan placed a hand on my shoulder. He was right… that was our goal. Key word was. It was different now though. I wouldn't hurt Alice in any way.
"No Dan. People change. I won't go through with whatever you are planning no matter what," I decided.
"Quit being so stubborn Shun," Runo shouted angrily, "Did you not see her with Anubias? She doesn't care about you. Do you know who we are? We're werewolves okay! Humans and werewolves don't go together!"
"Well neither do humans and vampires! Anubias is probably just using her," I said irritated. Why wasn't anyone agreeing with me? Was the shard worth so much more than the person herself?
"Would you stop being stupid? Fine go and follow her. Be a helpless lost puppy," Runo sighed and then started again in a calmer voice, "Shun, she's not worth it. Besides, how long has she known Anubias for? I bet he's her perfect match. Let's just get the shard and return to the forest."
"Come on Shun," Marucho begged.
"I told you already, I won't go through with it," I sighed and then turned to leave. The room was completely silent… I left the house and shut the door behind me. I needed a way to get Alice alone and away from Anubias. I felt someone behind me… I turned around a corner and knew he was following me. I stopped and turned around.
"Like all werewolves, you have good hearing," he laughed as he approached me.
"Anubias…" I glared at him as he threw something up in the air and then catching it again. He did it continuously while circling around me.
"I don't know what Alice sees in you, but it really doesn't matter anymore," he smirked as he held the item in front of me. It was a bottle with the words love potion written on it. I felt my blood boil. He was using Alice!
"You coward… Can't take the shard from her without her giving it to you?" I teased. I needed to keep my composure… I needed to stay calm.
"Perhaps you're right but who wouldn't be scared of the most powerful half-blood on the earth. She could kill you easily…" he smirked and then put the potion back in his pocket. Half-blood? What was he talking about?
"What do you mean?" I asked before I could stop myself.
"You mean Alice didn't tell you?" he pretended to gasp, "She's a vampire…"
"Wait… what? That's not possible," I wouldn't listen to his lies… but it would make sense wouldn't it? Anubias was a vampire and she trusted him… did she really lie to me?
"Think about it Shun… you only have a few days," he smirked and then disappeared. I stood there by myself thinking. Alice had lied to me… even without the love potion she had lied. Why though? I told her everything and she didn't trust me enough. Was she working with Anubias? If Alice is the most powerful person in the world then was she going to hurt the rest of us? I couldn't get the thought of Alice controlling humans in my mind. She had such a gentle nature… I didn't want to believe Anubias and decided to go ask Alice myself.
Me: Dun dun dun… I could imagine Shun being sweet =)
Dan: Well that was off topic…
Shun: … I don't want to know what's going on…
Me: And then he'll be hugging Alice and they'll be happy together.
Shun: yeah… like I said… *leaves blushing.
Me: Anyway, thanks so much for your time! Please review and comment! Thanks =) and I'll see you next time! =)
