Chapter 9 – The hunt

Edward and I agreed that he'll be at my house – at my freaking house – at 5 sharp. I had two hours, and I haven't hunted for two weeks.

I changed to sweatpants and a T-shirt and jogged from the back yard to the forest. As soon as nobody could've see me, I ran at vamp-speed toward north, seeking for a pray.

I ran and ran, till I smelled it – vampire smell. And not just any vampire…

Alice.

What should I do?!

I can't wait anymore – my throat was on fire! I couldn't starve like this. Not a second longer.

But I can't be caught.

I turned around to run, but it was too late. Alice stood in front of me, shocked. I looked at my hand-clock – I had an hour left.

"Hello." She said, eyeing me suspiciously.

"Hey." I murmured.

"Wha'cha doing here?" she asked, doesn't beating around the bush like she used to do.

"I'm going to my house." I tried to get passed her, but she didn't let me.

"What are you?" she demanded.

"What do you think I am?" I gave her a smirk.

"A vampire." I was shocked that se was so bold.

"OK. Its one Alice zero Lizzy. But if you're so smart answer this; who am I?" I crossed my arms, raising an eyebrow at her. There was no chance she knew... right?

She looked at me, confused. "I beg your pardon?"

I sighed. "I look human, don't I?" I asked. She nodded.

"How is that?" she was curios now.

"It's my power." In a flash I changed myself to her character. Alice gasped at me.

"Who are you?" her voice shook a bit.

"If you find out, come to me. But until then, would you keep this as a secret?" I asked. I couldn't believe she was in on the secret! My freaking secret!

She thought about it and nodded. "'K. but you will tell me the truth as soon as I find out, right?"

I shrugged. "We'll see 'bout that. Now, I have to go – don't tell anyone, especially not Edward – he's coming over to my house and I don't know how to kick him out." I sighed.

Alice looked like I insulted her. "Why would you do this?"

"'Cause I don't want him in my life so he could hurt me. He hurt enough people in this place." I run from Alice like my life depended on it after that, afraid I just gave her her answer.

I got out of the shower and in three minutes I was ready. I was about to dry my air as I heard the knock. I looked at the clock that hung in my room – it was ten to five.

Huh?

I walked down the stairs, two at a time, and opened the door.

I wish I had closed it right back on his gorgeous face.

"Hello." He said to me, getting me out of my shock. "May I come in?" he lifted his shoulder a little to show me his backpack.

"Sure." I let him in – stupid me! - and he looked at the house for a few seconds. Only God knows why.

"Where do you want to do it? In the kitchen?" I asked, my voice trembling a little.

"Do you have a computer in your kitchen?" he tilted his head, pain available in his topaz eyes. Pain? What in hell…?!

"No – but I have a laptop. I'll bring it." I run up the stairs and in a few seconds I got my laptop. I walked down and found Edward in the kitchen.

"It's a small house, so I allowed myself in the kitchen." He explained as I checked-out his V-neck T-shirt, which showed his body like he was wearing a Lycra shirt.

"I didn't ask." I said as I sat next to him, putting my laptop on the table and opening it.

Fuck!

There was a mail from Laurent. I closed it quickly, hoping Edward was too busy at looking at me – as he did – then reading my mail.

"So, the paper is about…?" I asked, looking strait ahead on the laptop.

"It's about the Big War, at 1914." I nodded. He was born near this time – he wanted to be a soldier. He was born at… at…

I couldn't remember.

And it scared the crap out of me.

"In which direction – " I started to ask, to distract both myself and him.

"The Recruits." He answered before I could've finished my question.

I took the paper from his hands – careful not to touch him – and looked at the paper. It was written in his hand writing, so carefully and gracefully and perfectly written on the white paper.

I gulped in pain.

"Do you want to add anything?" he asked, almost uninterested.

"No. it looks perfect." I put the paper on the table and he took it from the table and put it into his bag.

"Do you have something to do, or am I permitted to stay here for a while?" he asked me very fast – for a human, of course - like he was almost… nervous.

"Um… I don't have anything to do." I admitted.

"Cool." He smiled at me his crooked smile. My heart broke into billion pieces in the God-only-knows-how-many time of my life.

"What do you want to do? I can make something to eat." I offered though all I had in the fringe was a milk cartoon, a few eggs, two apples and jam – I didn't need more, 'cause everything was part of my role – to act like mere human.

"No, thank you." He said. "I don't understand something," he said abruptly.

"And what is that?" I asked.

"It looks like you don't like your new friends – why is that so?"

I sighed. Here's the time for some truth…. And more lies.
