RUN DON’T WALK THE SKY IS FALLING THROUGH
DON’T TALK TONIGHT I’M SO CONFUSED
I’M LOST, I’M LOST WITH YOU

Alice was taking a relaxing walk through the streets of Forks. She was bored so she had decided to just walk for a while. With no one around she was just taking a stroll, no one knew why but it was just to get out of the house. That’s what Alice wanted. Things were a lot more tense lately in the house. So Alice had decided that she might as well just get away from the craziness and just relax for a bit. It was something she hadn’t been able to do properly for a while, so it was nice to just walk and ignore everything else.

As she walked through the streets she noticed that it was pretty quiet, which wasn’t something she was used to. In fact she was used to Forks being pretty busy, not crazy busy that you couldn’t walk, but there was always a little hustle and bustle. But today, nothing. Everything was silent, everything was still. It was slightly unnerving, but Alice just relaxed, a smile on her face as she hummed. Alice was always happy go lucky, even if there was nothing to be happy go lucky about. That was just how Alice was. Happy happy happy.

After a while Alice found a bench, she relaxed a bit and sat down on the bench, kicking her legs like a child would as she hummed lightly. She’d had a song stuck in her head for a while but she just continued to hum it happily. At least she wasn’t singing, then she’d definitely be seen as a bit of a crazy. She’d already been through that once, though she couldn’t remember it. She smiled as she realised how good her life really was, she was probably one of the only vampires who completely and utterly loved her vampire life and didn’t think about her human one. But because she couldn’t remember her human life that was pretty obvious.

Hearing a noise Alice frowned, glancing around herself she sniffed the air lightly. “Who’s there?” She asked curiously.

Alice instantly was drawn to look at the scar for less than a micro second. She knew that she shouldn’t but she couldn’t help it. Alice looked at the kids and smiled lightly, she had heard about Emily from Bella, and knew that she was like a mother to all of the wolves. She smiled and laughed slightly when she saw the hand come towards her. “Pleased to meet you Emily.” Alice sighed. “But I don’t think I should shake your hand, because…well your husband could get angry, and I don’t want you to get into trouble for having vampire scent on you, you know?” Alice said. Alice didn’t want to get Emily into trouble, Alice knew from what Bella said that Emily was a very gentle soul and a very nice person.

She smiled and laughed as she moved on the bench. “Why don’t you sit down, I mean it seems like you’ve got your hands full and if you’ve got a way of walking it may be a bit easier if you have a break between.” Alice said, wondering slightly why Emily didn’t have another push chair for the other child. She didn’t really keep up to speed on the wolf pack, since she couldn’t see them, but still she didn’t like seeing humans in pain. She looked at Emily. “I’m sorry I don’t mean to pry but, don’t you have another stroller?” She asked slowly as she pushed her hair back.

It was obvious from what Alice could see that Emily was finding it hard with the shopping and the children to carry everything. Alice smiled lightly. “Your children are beautiful.” Alice commented. “I bet the house is a lot calmer when they’re asleep.” Alice laughed, she didn’t want to comment that it never would be because of the shifters, but she didn’t want to start anything up with Emily since it really wasn’t her fault that Sam had imprinted on her, it wasn’t fair since she really hadn’t done anything.

Alice smiled back at Emily, so far she could see why Bella liked Emily. She was so understanding and very calm. It was different to the wolf pack. Alice knew Jacob was very angry and protective, but Emily seemed a lot more trusting of Alice, which was a huge surprise to her. She thought that she’d be just a little more wary of her because of her husband’s views about the Cullen family.

Nodding Alice smiled. “Ah, I thought that Sam would have had them running around and stuff, I bet they have a lot of energy.” Though Alice wasn’t always the nicest to the wolf pack, she could see that the kids had had a good upbringing. She really had to admire Emily, it must be hard to be the wife of the pack leader, to bring up children in what she knew was obviously a very complicated and dangerous world. But she seemed like she had no problem coping with it all. Smiling as she saw the child smile in his sleep she couldn’t help but giggle at how cute it was. “Ah, well that makes sense.” Alice said nodding.

Alice laughed. “Yeah I know all about loudness, my brother and husband tend to fight a lot, it drives Esme crazy because they’re always breaking stuff. It’s funny to watch though, until it starts getting serious and you have to break them up.” Alice added slightly hesitantly. It was always fun to watch Emmett and Jasper fight though. Then she got to help Jasper get over it later…which was even more fun.

Alice laughed as she heard the howling. She was surprised that it seemed that Emily was classing the wolf pack as ‘the boys’ as if they were her children too. “Wow, that is loud.” Alice laughed. It didn’t surprise Alice that Emily was asking after Nessie to be honest, she knew that Emily was very motherly and probably loved it when she used to go over. “Nessie’s good, she’s a little upset, which I don’t blame her for, but you know, she could be worse.” Alice laughed as Emily said about the growing fast. “Yeah she’s just the best thing in the family right now.” Alice laughed slightly nodding. “She’s five but looks double her age.” Alice couldn’t help but get lost in the memories of how Nessie had helped her family to come together completely, taking away the divide between Rosalie and Bella and everything else.

Alice smiled and laughed. “Ah well, I bet you don’t have a dull day with them though.” Alice said. Alice laughed more as Emily said about running off with the pack. “Well maybe that could be a game for them, run like the pack, you give them space in the garden or something, watch them at all times and let them run around pretending they’re wolves.” Alice laughed. “It probably would tire them out quicker.” Alice glanced down at the little girl and smiled more. “She is adorable.” Alice commented. She didn’t know where the gooey girly feelings were coming from, but she couldn’t help them, she just thought the two kids were some of the cutest things she’d seen.

Alice was trying her hardest not to smell the air, she knew that if she did she may get thirsty. Alice found it harder to be around kids. She knew it was because they were so active their blood smelled more prominent, pounding through their little bodies, it always made it just that much harder to resist. But Alice’s will power was a lot better than people gave her credit for. She was good at keeping her thirst in check, especially because she had to hang out with Bella and Bella’s human friends, it made her a bit stronger.

A smile grew on the pixie’s face as Emily said about the pony rides. “Is that on the wolf back or his own back?” Alice asked curiously. It wasn’t in a cruel way, she was just curious as to if it was ‘pony’ rides or wolf rides. Either way she knew it would probably be adorable to see. She couldn’t deny that in any shape way or form.

“Does Paul start it out of anger or out of jest? Like Emmett will tease Jasper until Jasper can’t take it, but they never do it out of anger. Well, most of the time they don’t do it out of anger.” Smiling lightly she remembered the last argument. “And then there are the bets, which are often funnier, it’s either, who will win, who will give up first, or how long it’ll take Esme to break it up.” Alice laughed lightly, her laugh sounding like very high ringing bells. Alice nodded along with Emily. “Definitely, boys either think about their stomachs or who they’re going to fight with next…or sex of course.” Alice said slightly offhandedly.

It had never occurred to Alice that the pack would have been going through the same things. In hindsight she shoulda thought about it. “It’s always made me think about the humans who don’t know about the vampires and the wolf packs, what do they think about all the strange stuff that goes on? I mean, do they notice and just ignore it, or do they just not notice at all?” Alice always tried not to think about this, it just didn’t seem to be a huge thing that she had to think about all the time, but every so often it came into her head and she had to wonder what they thought. Sighing as Alice heard Jake’s name she shook her head. “This is stupid, they shouldn’t all be fighting like this. I don’t understand why Edward will easily ban Jacob from seeing Renesmee when he knows how much he hated being away from Bella.” Alice said in a rather angry tone. She loved her brother of course, and could understand that it was because of Bella’s heart break, but she thought he was being selfish and wasn’t thinking about his daughter at all.

Alice sighed and put her hands on her forehead. “Sorry, outburst, I feel like I can’t talk about it in the house. You shouldn’t be burdened with troubles that aren’t your own.” Alice said as she rubbed her temples lightly.

She smiled lightly at Emily as she spoke about Renesmee. “Yeah, she’s really sweet and stuff, way too old for her age but you know. She’s still a kid at heart and a lot of the time you can see that through whatever she’s doing. But sometimes I wonder if her parents are being just a little too protective of her.”

Alice glanced down as the bag tipped over. She smiled. “Ah, you’re really the mother figure for the pack aren’t you?” Alice smiled lightly as she listened to Emily talking. Alice frowned lightly. “But it must be pretty expensive, I mean you’re paying for your own clothes, your children’s clothes, your husband’s clothes and the packs clothes as well as food and drinks and other things? That’s a pretty big job, how do you keep on top of it all?” She asked curiously.

Alice kinda knew that money would be hard, so she felt pretty bad though it was completely out of her hand. She knew that if anyone in her family found out that she’d been talking to Emily, she’d be seen as the bad person, and she knew it would be the same for Emily and the pack. It wasn’t fair that this feud had gone on for so long, it made no sense. Granted she understood the treaty and stuff, but shouldn’t it have all changed? Renesmee’s birth should have changed things to go a different way. It was obvious that Emily was willing to look over the ‘dangers’ of the golden eyed vampires, why couldn’t the others see that it was safe?

Just after Alice had finished speaking she felt a vision coming. She let it take her over, and she went slightly rigid. She saw a very spiky haired vampire coming near them. Coming back out of the vision she looked at Emily. “There’s another vampire coming.” Alice said in a very low voice. “I want you to stay where you are and trust me when I tell you that whether or not he’s a threat I will not let him harm you or your children, I give you my word.” Alice said with honesty in her eyes.

Glancing around, she smelled his scent, she glanced back to Emily and held her hand up slightly. “Don’t move, and don’t be scared.” Alice said as she stood up slowly and sniffed the air lightly. He was close, Alice could smell it, and it definitely wasn’t someone she knew. Glancing over to where she smelled him she saw a crimson eyed vampire. She looked back to Emily. “Stay here, I won’t let anyone hurt you.” She promised Emily before she broke into a run, vampire pace over to the vampire and glared at him.

Alice was well fed and her eyes were a very nice golden colour. She looked at him. “You better have a very good reason for being here and you better not be thinking about killing them or else I will have to rip you into a thousand pieces.” She snarled at him. Though she couldn’t say that Emily was her friend, she knew that if something did happen to her, her family was in trouble, more trouble than usual. She wasn’t going to let that happen, and though she was pretty small she could still take the vampire. Glancing back to Emily to make sure Emily was ok and so were the children, Alice sniffed the air again. “You’re here alone, or has someone else hidden their own scent?” She asked him slowly and cautiously.

There weren’t often vampires in the area, but lately things had been turned on it’s head and she didn’t know what to think about anything. There were many new faces in Forks and a lot of them she was worried weren’t too peaceful and they’d be facing another Victoria style vampire.

Notes??? - Yeah me and Kitty spoke and we thought it was easier to get you into the thread if Alice noticed you first

Even if Richard wasn't the social butterfly he knew most teenage boys to be, his open mind and rapid pace of thought was something to note. Despite his quasi-precognitive chain of thought, his predictions about the woman being a vampire were true. Her speed gave her away immediately, but it was going to be to her disadvantage. The display of speed triggered Richard's own ability, to sense any immediate danger in the area to himself or others, and knowing it was there gave him time to act accordingly. His own vampiric speed allowed him to put a bit of distance, not much though (a couple of feet maybe, just to stave off a hit if it came), between him and where his oppressor came to stand, leaving Richard out of any immediate danger, but in the process Richard had dropped his cigarette which wasn't even half-way burnt yet. Sometimes that ability came in mighty handy, but what a waste...

Her words were vulgar but appropriate, lacking any foul language. Richard returned her glare with a hint of confusion, wondering why she was so hostile. Richard's only thought on her motive was that the three humans he'd sniffed were close to this vampiric girl, much like a vicious dog protecting her mate or pups. In this case, it was drastically similar. His reply was simple, but it served as a foundation for an explanation he had waiting in the wings.

"I ran out of cigarettes."

As to why a vampire would need cigarettes was probably a silly notion to ponder. Tobacco smoke dulled the sense of smell, one of a vampire's most important senses. Consequently, it also disguised the smoker's scent to a degree. But why? Richard's case was simple; he liked to smoke. It was a force of habit, something he was used to doing when he was working on cars, passing it off as a normal human addiction so that he might blend in somewhat better. Still, it was more or less a 'smoke screen' to disguise who he really was.

"And I've never killed anyone, except for the one who turned me into what I am today."

Richard spoke the truth; the only time he'd dismembered somebody was the time he became a vampire, back in Colorado several years ago. A vampire, much like the one that stood before Richard now except exchanging the golden eyes for crimson ones, bit into Richard's shoulder and turned his life upside-down from that moment on. Rage was the only thing Richard felt after the transformation, and it was his chainsaw that dismembered the fiendish leech and a nearby burning slash pile took care of the rest. That was the first and only time Richard ever felt the desire to kill, and hopefully it would be the last.

Her next question was a little curious, but Richard wrote it off as her erring on the side of caution. As far as he knew they were the only two vampires in the area; he would've known if there were any others since he was working in the auto shop all day. So far the day had been pretty quiet... up until now.

"Last I checked, I should be the only one besides you here."

Introductions were a little stodgy for Richard; he wasn't used to talking much. Smoking, working on cars, and pretty much talking with his hands were his forte; carrying on a conversation, on the other hand, was not, depending on the topic. He didn't like to talk about himself, but in this case it was probably better to spill the beans than risk making an enemy out of the only other vampire he'd seen in a while. Richard did see a couple others, but they usually never stuck around.

"I'm Richard, automechanic from the shop a couple blocks away. And you are?"

Alice glanced over to where she saw something he’d dropped. Of course it was a half burned cigarette. “Why does a vampire smoke?” She asked slowly. “Sorry for all the questions on the cigarettes, I’m just, you know, surprised.” She shrugged lightly. Trying to be as nice as possible whilst still not trying to show how worried for Emily’s life she was.

Watching as he touched his head, she didn’t move, just waited. She could tell that he didn’t talk much with anyone, that was fair enough, she just relaxed and waited patiently for him to speak again. Alice wasn’t usually on edge like this but with two children who could potentially be in danger, she found it just a little bit daunting. Alice hadn’t been this tense for a while, and she didn’t like feeling it either.

When he pulled out the syringe, she instantly smelled the blood and had to hold her breath. Though Alice’s restrain when it came to human blood was very good, exceptional really, when it came to spilt blood, free blood, she wasn’t that good at it. Looking away she just nodded to show she believed him, moving and turning away as she closed her eyes, trying her hardest not to smell the human blood. There was still the lingering smell in her nostrils from when she’s smelt it before. When she opened her eyes again, her eyes were coal black. She glanced over to the vampire and tried to keep her cool.

“Ok, I believe you.” She said quicker than she’d ever spoken.

Nodding slightly she looked over at him. “Well if you ever need company or something my family would welcome you probably.” She said slowly. She was still not breathing properly. She didn’t think she could, she was terrified she’d get too much lust for the blood.

She nodded slowly as he promised not to hurt Emily. “Good, if anything hurts to her, my family will be in a lot of trouble.” She said slowly as she stepped back. “I’m sorry I can’t be so near to that blood.” She couldn’t help it the blood was potent and she desperately needed to feed now.
