Demetri's POV

The overwhelming stench of another man on the woman that is supposed to be my mate. I was frozen, she was...I can't even think of a word right now to describe her, but it isn't a good one. I know that much. As I finally come back to my senses I decide that enough is enough. But the bitch has the nerve to cut me off.

"Don't even think of blaming me for this. Everything is all your fault."

WHAT! Did she eat a stoned squirrel or something? Anger suddenly came over me.

"Oh really. Well my mind seems to be having a very dumb blond moment because I have no clue as to how this could possibly be my fault!"

Alice scowled at me.

"For your information Demetri, if you hadn't told Marcus about Bella, then I wouldn't have done..."

"HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND! Marcus is the only one of the brothers I can trust completely, and he knows the pain of being without his mate. He'd never dare wish for such pain on his worst enemy, let alone a stranger he's never laid eyes on. Further more since when does my confiding in a trusted friend give you the right to fuck someone else?"

Alice opens and closes her mouth like a fish. I see her turning, trying to leave. Not happening. I cheat, using my natural vampire speed to block her. Alice's eyes widen a little, I had purposefully kept my mind blank so she couldn't get one over on me, I am not proud by the action I took when she all but ran into me, and I am deeply remorseful for it, for I grabbed her. Harder than what I should, but considering how angry I am. Well let's just say that when my human father was this angry he'd hit us. Bastard.

"I will let you go under the condition that we talk about what the fuck it is that is running through your mind. Because I can promise you this much, I am not at fault for this fuck up of yours. I didn't force you into bedding another man, and let's face it he was a human so it's not like he could have much of a hold on you now is it. Do you agree?"

Alice nods. Fear clear in her eyes. Good. I have reached the end of my rope with her. Releasing her, Alice quickly takes a seat wisely knowing it wouldn't be clever to challenge me right now.

There was silence for several minutes.

"Well."

I couldn't suppress the snarl. Closing my eyes briefly, I forced myself to remember what little memories I held of my human mother. Despite his compulsive need to hit us, my mother always remained compassionate, loving, forgiving, patience. I will not be forgiving in the situation, but I can attempt to be patient. I will not become like him.

"You wouldn't understand."

My eyes snapped open. Do not turn into him. You are better than that. You've fucking scared her enough already, you have a right to be pissed, but do not become him. You become him then you will become a monster, and your mother's heart will break from the grave. Do not go down that road.

"You're right. I wouldn't understand, I could never understand why someone would claim that two people are mated only to be disloyal to what they are meant to stand for. You have been disloyal to not only myself, but to the fucking God of War, himself. Claiming that we are both your mates, keep the God of War from his true mate...is that what you are doing with me? Have you found some way to deceive my Master's gift?"

Surely she...yes. Going by that look of annoyance in her eyes, yes she fucking would. God damn it. Breathing deeply, I repeat my mantra in my head. How it would break my long belated mother's heart to turn into the monster that I was forced to call father, and she husband. Is this what the Seer does? Draws out the very worst qualities of a man to the point where he loathes himself with such extremes he will push away anyone that loves him until he is alone with nothing but her left? How could someone be so cold? So devious and cruel?

"Why? Why would you do this yet again?"

She was silent.

"ANSWER ME!"

I had startled myself with the shout coming from me. Alice literally jumped in her seat through being taken off guard. But then anger seemed to set in. Alice was a blur as she shot to her feet.

"Why shouldn't I? My parents did it to me. Throwing me away from everyone I love because I was born with the gift of sight even as a human. I may not remember much but there is such a thing as a paper trail. Took me a while but I eventually found what I was looking for, and what I found was that my parents loathed me because of my gift. They thought me insane and threw me into an asylum, they never visited. Nor would it surprise me if they forbade my own sister from visiting me, they had me declared DEAD for Christ's sake to save their own social necks. So whilst they were playing the mournful parents I was subjected to electric shock treatment. So tell me what I shouldn't make others suffer the way I have?"

Of all the explanations. I wasn't expecting that.

"Because, the Cullens, Major Whitlock, Isabella, myself we have done nothing to you to condone such cruelness. You could have risen above your parents Alice, as I have my father. Though barely through tooth and nail at this moment for me, because you are really testing my patience. Everyone has the ability to be cruel, but not all of them are...for Christ's sake Alice, Isabella has looked past the monsters we are made out to be through human imagination, thank you Bram Fucking Stoker, and sees what little humanity we have inside of us; and your response is to play her like some doll. Breaking her heart in the process and damn the chance that some dangerous and insane vampire rips her insides out for Christmas decorations."

I had to hunt. I have to do something constructive to release my anger in a way where I will not loose what little self I have. I may hunt humans but I do not play with my food, and in a way it looks to me like that is exactly what Alice has been doing. Playing with her food before leaving it to rot in a way.

"Your parents are gone Alice. Sorry to be a heartless bastard about the matter but it is a fact, stop directing your anger of them towards the innocent. Or you will loose everything, and eventually if you are not careful your immortality. Now if you will excuse me, I must hunt. Before I forget myself completely and do something I shall terribly regret."

Alice's eyes widen a little. Clearly she has just had a vision of my doing something just as I fear I might, with a nod to her I quickly take my leave. I need somewhere that is drowning in scum, if I take the life of a mindless thug, perhaps I can save someone a fate worse than what I endured.

A/N: Short, yes. I don't remember if we actually learn anything about Demetri's past so I simply mad it up. Hope you enjoyed it. Reviews welcome.
