Ok, so I was bored and decided to update. I know most of you who read this story really enjoy it. In fact, I haven't gotten one flame yet so high fives all around! (High fives everyone.) I just wanna thank SuperDani aka VioletFairchild, because she's commented about EVERY chapter and she's just really cool. She actually commented my Cirque Du freak fic too so that's pretty cool. Thanks, Superdani!
Anyways, I want to thank GinnyMastraniCullen too for her love of Alec. I really enjoy your reviews and the one you left for chapter 6 had me laughing. "It's freaking great!" she wrote and I could almost picture myself saying that for someone else. Thanks.
Of course, thank you to anyone else who has reviewed this story or added it to their favorites. You guys are awesome and the stuff you write about this story really boost my confidence and ego (right word?). You guys/gals rock!!!
I hope you enjoy this chapter update.
Now, some of you think Alec running is chicken-ish of him and I admit that running was not planned. Anything I write just simply comes to me and is what actors would call improvisation, I think. Anyways, actually, none of the endings for any chapters so far have been planned or intended. I'm actually thinking of maybe writing another version just to see how it'd turn out. Ok, so I really hope you'll like this update.
Enjoi!!!
Amara's POV (After Alec fled):
Did that seriously just happen? Did me asking my Alec a question and him running seriously JUST happen? Did I just call him MY Alec?!
Ok, get a grip on yourself, Amara…he's your best friend. He's been in your life since before you could even remember and you're going to keep him in your life, I thought, nodding to myself in agreement. Ok, I think I've gone crazy…
I'll admit, I've obtained feelings for my strangely red-eyed best friend. I mean, have you SEEN him?! He's absolutely luscious! With that perfect physique and those mysteriously intense eyes that seem to stare right into your very soul, he was like a fallen angel. MY fallen angel…
Amara, enough! I mentally screamed at myself. Alec couldn't possibly like you! You're too…normal and he's…a GOD! An Italian god! Oh, but how I wish he was mine…
I looked at my digital clock that Demetri, for SOME reason, got me. Perhaps it was a joke of some sort but it DID come in handy when I didn't feel like looking at a real clock and doing the math. But still, WHY did he get me it? Oh well…
It's about 8:00PM right now and I'm usually instructed to stay in my room until about 8:30 or 9:00. I never understood or questioned "why." You never question Daddy or Uncle Caius. Uncle Caius gets VERY angry. I think he has, like, guy-Menopause or something. Who knows…
I always wondered why I had to stay in my room. I also wondered why the entire Volturi members had red eyes. I don't mean, like, red eyes as if their eyes are always itchy or something, but they're eyes are RED as in RED irises. It's creepy and awesome at the same time.
I rose from my bed and walked out to the throne room, hoping to find some company but finding the most horrifying sight in front of me. Red. EVERYWHERE. And I didn't mean their eyes, well, that too but red as in blood…
"Am-ie…" came Alec's shocked voice, the red scarlet liquid dripping from the corners of his lips.
Then I, just like him, ran.
Alec's POV:
We all sat in the throne room as we waited for Heidi to return with "dinner." Yes, even after Amara coming into my life, I still drank human blood. It was my nature. It was my life source. I had no choice. Plus, if it sustained my thirsts when I was around my love, so be it.
I fidgeted in my chair impatiently as I waited to feed. I could feel everyone's questioning gaze on my back. I probably looked like I should be in an insane asylum. Who knows, maybe I should…
I began to think of Amara, my love, in her room. Ok, not what you think I'm thinking of…I was thinking of how we had kept her in her room for an hour almost every night so we could feed. I wondered what would happen if she ever left her room…I wondered what would happen if she knew what I did while she spent time in her room doing Who-knows-what.
Finally, the door swung open and in walked Heidi in a tight red dress that any man would kill to know what's underneath. She strode in, head held high, with a group of young partiers behind her. they all looked around with confusion and wonderment as we all stood and walked slowly, menacingly towards them.
Then the screams began.
We all lunged at them, jumping and clawing at them. I opened my mouth widely and bit into a girl's neck, the blood flowing down my throat like a sweet river. I moaned at the taste and bit down harder. Her screams were a little buzzing in the back of my head as I drank her precious blood. Jane, next to me, was finishing off who could've been the girl's boyfriend or something. Oh well, at least they died together.
Then the door swung open AGAIN and we all stopped. There stood Amara, shock evident on her face as she stared at mine. Her eyes settled on my lips, stained with red-scarlet liquid. She looked terrified. Of the scene. Of us. Of ME.
"Am-ie…" I breathed in surprise and shock.
Then she ran like there was no tomorrow. And she took my heart with her as I dropped my meal and ran after her, but her bedroom door slammed in my face and I stood there, motionless. If my heart were to beat, it would've stopped at this moment because it was just torn in two…
Cliffie!!!! Hope you guys liked it. I'll admit, her finding out was maybe a little earlier than I expected but, hey, what happens, happens. Comment and review!!!
