Shun: Can we just start already?
Me: Uhh yeah =) Once again, sorry for the short chapter but I hope you enjoy =).
Basically Shun now knows about the love potion because Anubias admitted it and he's also not willing to help the pack steal the jewel anymore. (sorry for the bad recap)
DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN BAKUGAN, TWILIGHT OR INUYASHA!
Shun's P.O.V.
I stood in front of her door unsure of my next move. I was angry and confused. Why did the person I trusted and loved the most have to lie to me? I didn't care that she was a vampire. I still loved her. Now that I'm here at her house, I wasn't whether to ask her or not. What was I suppose to say to her? I didn't want a repeat of last time… I kept trying to tell myself that last time was a completely different situation. I hadn't known about the love potion or who was behind it. Wait… but why would Anubias tell me?
"Can I help you with something?" I looked up to find Alice looking at me with a confused expression. She was wearing the light blue sweater with pretty patterns I had given to her last year. Maybe she does remember…
"I'll take that for you," I offered as I took my eyes off of her and looked at the trash in her hands. I reached for it but she stepped back.
"It's fine… umm are you looking for my grandfather?" she questioned. I knew it was too good to be true. She didn't remember me… should I just tell her about everything? It would make me sound crazy though… "Um excuse me sir…"
"Um no, I'm here to see you," I wasn't sure if that was a good idea but it didn't matter. I was going to have to tell her one way or another.
"Oh alright… do I know you from somewhere?" she wondered. I took a deep breath. I wasn't going to force her too hard but I needed her to remember. I needed to know what was going on and why she had lied. What else was she hiding from me?
"Yes, in fact, I need to talk to you privately, now," I demanded harsher than I meant to. It was night and I didn't blame her for not wanting to come out but her grandfather was in the house. After a few seconds of silence, I grabbed her wrist and pulled her out of the house. I made her drop the trash by accident but we could worry about that later.
"Stop, let me go," she tried to pull away from me but my grip only got stronger. I was tired of all the confusion and lies. First Anubias, then Spectra and Gus, and now Alice too? I let go of her when we were near the brick walls outside her garage. I placed both my hands on the wall, trapping her in between.
"I want to know the truth," I stated bluntly.
"I don't know what you're talking about," she replied frightened. The look in her eyes made my anger die down. She was scared of me… I couldn't believe it.
"Why are you scared? Shouldn't I be? I don't even know what on earth is happening!" I shouted.
"I don't even know who you are! Let me go or I'm going to call the police," she warned and took out her cell phone.
"You're a vampire, aren't you?" I asked even though I already knew the answer. She froze and I took the chance to take the phone in her hands. I threw the phone on to the pavement away from her reach. I could feel her body tense, "Tell me!"
"H-How did you know?" she stammered, "You're one of those scientists aren't you?"
"No! I'm not!"
"Stay away from me," she warned and for the first time, I noticed she had vampire teeth. They were smaller than usual vampire's teeth but they definitely belonged to a vampire.
"Alice, trust me," I begged and wrapped my arms around her, She kept trying to get away but I wasn't going to let her… that's when I felt something hard hit my head and I fell on to her incautious.
Alice's P.O.V.
I froze in shock as he collapsed into me. I touched his head and found blood dripping.
"Why did you do that?" I nearly yelled as Anubias stood there with a broken glass bottle. Sure the boy was scaring me and I really wanted him to stop, but hitting him was definitely not an option. I looked at the familiar boy's face… how did he know I'm a vampire? I was more confused than ever. I looked for the boy's pulse incase he did die… I shook that thought out of my mind.
"I'll take care of him, go in first," Anubias ordered.
"But…" I was interrupted by him.
"Go," he demanded and took the boy away from me. I really hoped he was okay… even though he did frighten me and seemed a bit crazy… I didn't know him but it seemed like he knew me… I took a deep breath and tried to forget about it. Anubias said he was going to take care it and I trusted him.
Anubias' P.O.V.
How pathetic… I couldn't believe he actually came to ask her. I threw Shun on to the lawn disgusted. I took out my cellphone and dialed the number.
"What do you want?" Spectra asked annoyed.
"Remember our deal? Come and pick him up now," I ordered and then hung up. It was almost time… just a few more days. I just need to wait until the ice skating competition… I glared at Shun's incautious body before going inside to join Alice. I wasn't backing out of our plan. We either do it soon or we don't do it at all.
The Next Day…
Alice's P.O.V.
"Uh Runo, table six is complaining about their coffee. Should I get them a new one?" I asked her. Runo was angrily tapping numbers into the cash register. It was a busy day at the Misaki Café and no one seemed to be in a good mood.
"Could someone please get me some new coffee?" the man glared at us.
"Shut up and just drink your coffee!" Runo yelled annoyed. Dan and she had an argument about an hour ago and Chan had called me half an hour ago about Joe. I sighed before putting down a tray.
"Order up!" Julie grinned happily. Everything was going well for Billy and her. They were even going to go to the mall together this afternoon.
"Has anyone seen Shun?" Dan questioned when I passed by his table. Shun?
"Who's Shun?" I asked.
"Alice, stop playing around. We need to work," Runo stated as she went to get some change for a table.
"Umm… is he a dog…?" I wondered since they didn't seem that concerned that he had disappeared. Some dogs could find their way home.
"You know?" Dan asked nervously.
"Know what?" I questioned confused. He grabbed my wrist and pulled into the kitchen. Runo and Julie followed us. What were they talking about? Who was Shun?
"Shun told you… didn't he?" Runo glanced at Dan worriedly.
"Umm… guys, she doesn't have it," Julie sighed. They both turned to look at me closely.
"What don't I have?" I asked.
"Alice, stop playing dumb with us. We know Shun was going to tell you," Runo stated annoyed.
"I don't know who Shun is and I don't know what any of you are talking about," I said honestly and then left the kitchen. I saw Mrs. Misaki near the cashier and asked if I could take a break. She gave me a quick nod before going back to work. Many odd things had been happening these few days… Who was Shun? For some odd reason, his name sounded familiar now…
"Alice!" I stopped looking at the ground and found myself at the park. Anubias was approaching me worriedly. He wrapped his arms around me and stroked my head lightly, "You're not worried about the boy yesterday, are you?"
"Well… now that you reminded me. What did you do to him?" I asked quietly incase there were people eavesdropping. Even though it was winter, there still were a lot of people in the park. Most of them were kids having snowball fights and building snowmen.
"It's nothing you have to worry about…" he whispered. Nothing I have to worry about? I didn't believe him…
"Why can't you tell me?" I wondered out loud as I broke away from his arms.
"It's complicated," he said soothingly, "Just trust me."
"I don't know who to trust anymore… last night the boy said he knew me and it seemed like he did… this morning Runo, Dan and Julie were talking about someone named Shun. I don't even know who he is!" I let everything out. Anubias showed no expression…
"You can trust me though," he gave me a small smile, "I'm your boyfriend. Everything's going to be fine, I promise."
"Thanks…" I smiled before letting him hug me again. He held me closely and I snuggled into his chest… I felt safe in his arms. Who wouldn't though? He was a strong and confident vampire but as I hugged him, I felt that he was tense… what was he hiding from me?
Me: I hope you all enjoyed it =) Sorry it's short. Anyway, I'm in a hurry to leave so I can't write much more. Please review and comment. Thanks so much for your time and patience. See you next time! =)
