I – Ice: When the one-hundred and seven-year-old vampire had first met Victoria, he'd thought she was cold as ice and not just physically. There was no emotion in her expression or her eyes and for a while he did not think she had the capacity to feel anything. Then Edward began to study her whenever they ran into each other. He soon realized that there was much more to the redheaded female than he had thought. They way she distanced herself from everyone, how she kept any and all facts about her past human life and her current life as a vampire secret as if she feared that someone would discover a big secret; it was obvious she needed someone who cared to show her that having emotions was not a bad thing. The mind reading vampire was going to melt the ice around her heart.
J – James: "Did you love him?"
Edward whispered the question after he had come home to find Victoria sitting outside on one of the highest branches in one of the tallest trees on the Cullen property. Whenever she got like this, Edward knew she was thinking of her creator, since she often went far away to think of James, knowing that the thought of him bothered Edward. "You can tell me, you know; I won't get angry. I know that, in some ways, you'll always care for him because he sired you."
His girlfriend looked over at him with a serious expression on her face. "The only thing James ever did for me that I'm grateful for was turning me, and only because it brought me you."
K – Kite: "Are you honestly telling me that you've never flown a kite before?" Edward could not believe she had never flown a kite as a child. In the few memories he still had of his human childhood, there were a few of his mother teaching him how to use a kite they had made together. "How is that even possible?"
She rolled her eyes dramatically. What did it matter if she had ever flown a kite before? It wasn't the end of the world, though he sure was acting like it. "We lived on a farm, and we had so many chores to do we hardly had time to do anything else. It's really not a big deal. If it bothers you that much, teach me to fly a damn kite. All I ask is that you shut up about it after."
L – Levitate: On a sunny day in Forks, Edward and Victoria were sitting on the couch in silence, unable to go outside. Victoria was the one to break the silence. "If you could have any power – other than the ability to read minds – what would it be and why?"
Edward shrugged and shifted his position so that he could look at her properly. "I would like to have the power to levitate. It's something I've always wanted to do, though sometimes I feel like I've done it since you make me feel like I can fly. Like I can soar to any height."
She laughed lightly at his comment. "You're a dork, but you're a romantic dork, so I can look past it. Plus, you picked a pretty cool power, so that gives you points. But I wouldn't gloat if I were you; you only passed the dork test by an inch."
M – Milk: "When I was human I hated milk." The comment came from the redheaded vampire out of nowhere when a milk commercial came on the television.
Intrigued by her confession, he wanted to know more. "Why is that?"
His fiancée sighed before giving him and answer. "Well, you know how I lived on a farm, right? On our farm we had some cows, and one year our best milker had a baby. It was my job to milk the mother and watch over the calf. One night I was milking the mother, Beth was her name, and the calf, Alvin, did not like the fact I had interrupted his meal and so he rammed in to the stool I was sitting. I tumbled to the ground and it just so happened that Beth had decided that was the moment she wanted to be milked. Before I even had the chance to move, I received a milk bath, which turned me off of the stuff forever. Even the sight of it sets me on edge."
Bursting in to bouts of loud laughter, her boyfriend smiled widely with a glint of humor in his eyes. "Don't you know that milk gives humans strong bones? It's no wonder you lost that arm wrestling match against Emmett. If you had drank milk as a child then this wouldn't have happened; you would've won and all of us wouldn't have to suffer through Emmett's gloating about what he calls his 'Big Win'. I bet you wish you could go back in time and fix your mistake. I love you, I really do, but I have to ask; don't you wish you 'Got Milk' now?"
N – North: "When I was a little girl, just after my mom got pregnant with my sister, I had decided that I was going to run away because I thought my parents didn't love me anymore since they were having another baby." Victoria paused as she and Edward stood in front of her home from when she was still human, when her family was still alive.
Edward had wanted to see where she had grown up, ad since she had seen his home where he'd grown up as a human it was only fair he got to see hers. Victoria had told Edward that it would be nice considering she had not been back there since she was turned. It was harder than she had thought it would be with so many emotions running through her body as memories of her past raced through her mind at an alarming rate.
Once the female vampire was sure she had her emotions under control, she continued with her story. Her bottom lip was quivering as she recalled what she could. "I walked a couple hours with no idea where I would go. It got dark fast and I decided to go home and try running away again in the morning when I could actually see two feet in front of me. Somewhere along the way, I must have gotten myself turned around because I had no idea where I was or how to get home. I was about to panic, but then I remembered something my father had taught me. I looked up to the sky and found the North Star. My father had said to find the North Star if I ever got lost and head towards it because it will always bring you home, and it worked. When James killed off my entire family, I felt like I had lost my North Star. But when I met you and knew I had found it again."
Edward wrapped his arms around her waist from behind and played a cold kiss on her collarbone. "You're my North Star too, Victoria; you will always be my home."
O – Orc: "Just admit that you're attracted to me and I swear I'll let the subject drop." Topaz-colored eyes bore into orange ones as the mind-reader waited for Victoria to reply.
A hiss escaped from between her lips. "You want me to lie? Aren't you Cullen's all about doing the right thing and telling the truth? As much as you may think I find you attractive, I must tell you that I think that you look like an Orc, which is sad considering that even a troll is more appealing than a weirdo like you."
P – Pose: Edward stood frozen in the doorway to Alice and Jasper's bedroom. He had come to talk to his sister, expecting that she'd be alone since Jasper was out hunting, but he found something else entirely. In the middle of the room, Victoria stood, completely void of clothing, while Alice stood behind a canvas sketching her. "What am I looking at right now?"
His seer of a sister looked up with a huge smile on her face. "It's for an art project at school. We had to take somebody that we know and turn them in to a Greek God or Goddess. I would have used Jasper or Rosalie, but I thought a change of pace would be good and Victoria offered. Don't you that she's stunning in this pose?"
The bronze-haired teen shot the love of his life a lopsided smile. "I think she's perfect all the time. Alice, next time you need a nude model, you should use someone else. I would rather that I'm the only one who gets to see my future wife in her birthday suit."
Q – Quamoclit: There had always been something about plants that fascinated the red-haired woman. She supposed she must have gotten it from her mother. When Victoria moved in with the Cullen family, she had taken to helping Esme in the garden. The motherly vampire had been impressed with her knowledge of rare plants as had everyone else, so when Christmas came around, each Cullen had decided to get her some kind of rare plant. Victoria had been stunned by their generosity, since it was something she had not yet gotten used to.
While she thought all of the plants were beautiful, the one she treasured the most had to be the Quamoclit Edward had gotten her. In all the years she had existed, Victoria had never seen a real Quamoclit before. The flowers were stunning, and the fact that it was a climbing plant made her adore it even more. Every day, she was outside taking care of her new plant, even talking to it like it understood her. Whenever they had to move to a new place, she would take a few seeds of the plant with her and plant them in a new garden. Sometimes her husband wondered if his wife loved the Quamoclit more than she loved him. Rosalie was always teasing him about the fact that his wife gave more attention to the garden than him.
R – Riddle: "Let me get this straight." Edward had his arms crossed against his chest and one eyebrow raised in disbelief. "In order to give my wife a kiss on our one year anniversary. I have to solve a riddle first?"
His wife smirked. "Your sisters informed that, according to all the magazines they read about relationships, we need to keep things interesting or we'll grow bored with each other. This is my way of keeping things interesting, and if you want to our happy marriage to stay that way, you'll play along without complaint."
S – Stake: Halloween was right around the corner and, much to the surprise of Edward Cullen, his girlfriend was more excited than he had ever seen her. Apparently, Halloween was her all-time favorite holiday and with the help of Alice, Esme, Rosalie, Carlisle, and Emmett, she planned a big party, and almost everyone in town was going to attend. Costumes were mandatory, and Victoria was working on hers, like she had been for the past week and half.
"Baby, why are you sharpening a piece of wood?" Edward asked, and even though he could pull the thoughts from her mind, he would rather hear the explanation out loud.
Annoyed by the interruption, Victoria stopped what she was doing and met his eyes. "I need it for my costume. I wouldn't be a very good slayer without a stake, now would I?"
"I love you!" he said happily, suddenly, which confused her. Seeing her puzzlement, he decided to clarify. "You know how I didn't want to dress up? Well, with you being a slayer, I won't need a costume because Alice demanded all the couples have to wear matching costumes; you're the slayer, so I get to be the vampire!"
