A.N. Thanks for all the review to thoughs of you that do; and to thoughs of you that don't would it kill you to put a smiley face or something.
"What did you do to the dress?" Hector asked.
"Um, it's really hard to walk in it so I made a few adjustments, you like it?" I asked.
"It's– cute. Really, really cute." He said looking away.
"If you don't like it you can just say 'I don't like it'." I said trying to mock his voice, failing terribly. Kind of sad that he didn't.
"I don't sound like that and really I do like it."
"Okay." I smiled; happy that he did like it. I cut off the sleeves and cut the dress right at the knee. I liked it, it was pretty.
"Well, come on."
"Okay, I'll just go get Susie…Oh my gosh I forgot Susie!"
"Don't worry I got her for you while you bathed."
"Oh okay."
"Why do you still have her?" He asked, walking.
"I don't know I guess I'm too attached. She's the only thing I had for the last three years the only thing I have from when I was a little girl." I said, following after him.
"I get it, I guess."
"So…what are we going?" I asked.
"I'm going to tell you about vampires."
"Okay…"
"First of all we drink blood. Human blood is preferred and I don't even think many vampires know we can drink animal blood. But we can it just hard though to control the bloodlust though. I just by chance found a group that just drank animal blood and started to drink animal blood. It turned my eyes gold, which lets me go out in public with out much of a problem. The darker our eyes are the thirstier are. Originally our eyes are red though.
"With the bloodlust I'm…beautiful." He said the word with disgust and hate. "My skin, my face, just me; it's to lure people in; along with my smell. I smell good, and that just gets people's attention. All that brings them to me. I am fast, and strong; making it a real miracle if they get away, Alice. And the worst part is when I'm in the sun; because when I'm in there– when any of us are in there –we're, God I sound conceded, but we're dazzling. The reason I look so you still is because I stopped aging when Victoria bit me.
"The only thing that can kill us is to rip us apart and burn us. But that's hard because we're strong and could probably kill a human who tried in seconds. Only vampires can kill vampires; which is still pretty hard to do." And he went on telling me about clans and newborns and the immortal children. They scared me the most. I mean little baby's all cute and beautiful so evil? It was just scary. He told me about the southern newborn wars. It was kind of inhuman to me and I remembered they weren't human, they didn't care. Hector cared though. He cared a lot and he wasn't human anymore. For the last couple of years he was going to be my savoir. Now he is and he makes my heart pound and it's hard not to look at him. And he told me about the Voltri. A court of vampires that made sure the existents of vampires were kept secret. That was the second thing that scared me the most.
"What would happen if they found out you told me?" I asked.
"They'd kill us or turn you. I think they would turn you."
"Why?"
"Because of your gift." He said.
"My dreams?"
He nodded. "Your visions, yes."
"What would they do to me?"
"Nothing, just ask you to join them if you don't they'll just let you go. If you do then you'll just be telling them the future I guess. But they won't find out so don't worry about it."
"Okay."
"They're not out to get random vampires though, Alice. They just want us as a kept secret."
"Oooh." I said nodding my head.
"Okay so I think I've told you everything I know." He said.
"Okay, but… are you?"
"Going to turn you?" He asked.
"Yes…" I said.
"I-I don't know, Alice. It is you choice." He said.
"I don't know if I want it or not."
"Its okay you don't have to think about it right now."
"Thank you." I said.
We walked kept on walking and I was just looking at Hector. His skin began to…sparkle like a person with diamonds all over them.
We stop in that patch of light and I couldn't take my eyes off of him. "You…you're dazzling." I said giggling.
He smiled. "You are too."
My face got hot.
"Alice?" he asked.
"Yes?"
"If-" he hesitated. "If I kissed you… what would you do?"
I hesitated wanting him but scared. "I-I don't know. I've never been kissed."
Slowly he leaned toward me. He put a hand on my waist and under my chin and slowly brought his lips to mine. His lips were cold and smooth but brought electricity inside me. He gently pulled my lower lip sending shivers down my back. Too soon he let me go and I was out of breath…
"That…"I whispered.
"is the greatest thing I felt in my life." He finished for me.
I nodded. He kissed me again without hesitation. This one was faster and rawer; he held me tight but was gentle. I had to pull apart this time. My head was spinning and I was out of breath. I started to giggle. He chuckled. "Maybe we should calm down a bit."
"You really want to?"
"No." he said kissing me again.
Then Hector pulled away looking behind me. "Oh no." He whispered. "Alice, um, just act dazed okay. Don't say another word."
"Why?" I whispered.
"Just do it."
I nodded. He kissed me again; but this was different more forced. He slowly started to kiss my neck; it felt like cold heat. My nerves were on high alert.
"Oh Hector you sly dog."
So swiftly, so fast Hector put me behind him, growling at the familiar voice. I knew who it was before I saw her. Victoria. She looked exactly the same as she did in my vision; except she was sparkling.
"Woo calm down, Hector. Sorry I interrupted lunch but didn't your mommy and daddy ever tell you not to play with your food?"
"What are you doing here Victoria?"
Then James was just there just out of thin air.
"James." Hector acknowledged.
"Hector." James said.
"Oh, we just wanted to visit." Victoria said.
"I thought you were on the animal diet." said James staring at me with hungry red eyes.
"Humans are mammals remember?"
"Hm your right…I guess." James said not looking away from me.
"You are a pretty little thing aren't you?" said Victoria; her eyes were darker red then James, hungrier and they were looking right at me.
"Yes, she is, and she is mine."
"Really? Why don't you take a little bite?"
"I like eating my food in private. I like making it last long." He said putting his hand on the small of my back.
"Fine." said James. "We'll come back when you're done."
"Okay, fine by me." said Hector pulling me closer to him.
Then James and Victoria disappeared.
Hector just stared after them. "We have to go." He said picking me up.
"Where?" I asked a rush of fear seeping in me.
"Away from them."
