Chapter 91
The sound of the air being shredded rang out as the spear was accelerated further at almost blurring speeds.



*Shclk*



The resistance of the gelatine like substance of the humanoid slime appeared, for only but a slight moment in time, before it was completely bypassed by the sheer kinetic energy that the spear carried, as it tore into its left torso and directly pierced through the dark glass core of the slime.



*Shatter*



With a glass shattering sound, the spear continued forawrds and hit the wall behind the slime, with another sound ringing out, this time the sound of metal bending until it could no further before shattering apart.



Looking down at the monster that had stood before him and had now turned into nothing more but slime remnants and liquid onto the ground that were slowly but surely disintegrating into white motes of light. Alan felt his heart rate slowly start to stabilse once more.



Taking a few slow steps until he was standing before what remained of his enemy, he took a deep calming breath, closing his eyes behind the night vision goggles for a moment before reopening them. In those brief close eyed moments, the scenery around him had changed to his apartment, to the fight, to the three dead bodies that wouldn't leave his mind alone.



'Damned…' Alan thought to himself and in a split second later, a notification like bell sound rang inside his mind, the system notifying him of his successful kill of the monster.



[ Ding! ]



[ User has defeated a Cardinal Pink Slime. ]



[ User has gained 1000 Experience Points. ]







..



'Alright… let's let's just continue, I have to be more careful from now on. I have enough mana to shoot around four of those wind gusts before I run out, that means I can defeat around four of these things in a row if all the conditions are perfect, ofcourse, that's just an optimistic thought, in actual battle, I won't always have the perfect distance or shot directly to its core. I should atleast lower it to one third, one in every three uses of the wind gusts would equal one kill.' Alan thought as he walked and grabbed the combat spear that he had previously discarded onto the ground and hoisted it up with one arm.



Turning his gaze towards the broken fragments of his other combat spear, he quickly noticed how it was similarly to the monster getting disintegrated into white motes of light.



'I see… so if it breaks, it's just gone. I don't get to use its materials for anything else…. That's a bit annoying, I could have used the steel fragments or pieces of the wood to create something out of them… but I guess it is.. What it is.' Alan thought before releasing another sigh and starting to walk down the dark alley once more, heading towards his next opponent, towards the next battle, his mind already having calmed down. His heartrate finally back to normal and his palms firmly gripping the combat spear.



The hardest fight of the alley was now over, the first one was always the hardest, it was the fight where he had the least amount of information and knew nothing about his opponent, each fight after the first would only get easier and easier, both as he leveled up and as he learned how to counter the specific slimes moves more and more.



'Though… predicting this one will be harder, they posses actual intelligence in comparison to the other slimes that only used their given skills in the most basic ways possible.' He thought, shaking his head slightly as his figure disappeared into the darkness.



Meanwhile, on the outside world, on the complete other direction of the Cullen Mansion, deep inside the forest, stood a reservation.



The quileute Tribe reservation.



It was a native tribe that had stood and withstood the ages for centuries, they had been here before the town of Forks had even been created, before any other being had come to live in these rainy forests.



The reservation was large and at its edges was in parts surrounded by a barbed fence, however in many spots, the fence had deteriorated to the point that it was nothing more than rusted metal at this point.



There were a dozen houses at the center of the reservation, most of them made out of wood and materials that were found around in the woods, tech hadn't managed to quite get into and change the area much. The number of cars in the entire reservation even now wasn't large, barely a few of the reservation members had a car, and even the ones that did have one didn't use it as often as any other person would have.



They worked jobs in forks, some of them atleast, whilst some others merely farmed and cultivated their own crops and raised their own livestock so that they could maintain their lives, merely selling the amount they didn't need so that they could get the other daily amenities that they couldn't create by themselves like clothes, soap and the like.



Inside one of the largest houses in this reservation, two people were currently talking, the first was a man of small stature that was sitting in a wheelchair whilst the other was an equally aged man sitting on the couch infront of him.



"Have you heard about the disappearance of those kids?" The old man on the couch asked as he leaned back slightly, a smoke pipe in his mouth as he took a long deep puff of grinded tobacco.
 
Chapter 92
"I have, you think 'they' broke the treaty? I don't believe 'they' would do it." Billy Black, the man on the wheel chair replied as he was holding a glass of water in his hand, taking a slow sip before placing it back onto a table.



"You're right, I also don't think that they did it. And from what I heard, they were kids messing with drugs, could just be that they overdosed somewhere or left the city." The other man replied as he took out his pipe and placed it on the table.



"It's likely… but we can't be too on guard with 'them' still being around. Have to raise them border patrols for a few weeks atleast. Just in case." Billy replied as he shook his head, a tired exhausted sigh escaping his lips, his voice turning more gravelly from exhaustion as he turned his head to face the window on his right.



"I just hope that everything goes well. The new generation… they still aren't ready, but I guess… they have to be. Jacob has started showing signs of awakening aswell recently. It's likely because of the close proximity to them." Billy muttered, his exhaustion clearly showing, as his eyes seemed to not be seeing what was infront of him for a moment, instead replaying a moment from a time long past.



"That's good, means the boy can protect himself and those around him." The other old man replied, in a way trying to reassure Billy, that this wasn't a bad thing, it was to them afterall, merely natural, an honour even.

"I know… but as you know… Sam and the others, there's been a lot going on these days, I miss the days where we had nothing more to worry but the baseball games." Billy muttered as he turned to face the other man once more.



"Speaking of, heard your friends daughter came back. How's Charlie feelin about it? He happy?" The other man said as he tried to lighten up the conversation once more.

At the mention of Charlie Swan, Billie's expression changed almost instantly to a more light hearted one as his eyes seemed to light up, he released a low chuckle as he shook his head for a moment.

"He doin good. Sold him my old truck to give to her as a gift, and the girl seemed to really like it too. He's been talking about her coming over for months, and when she finally did, he looked as awkward as ever, can't even talk to his own kid, he certainly hasn't changed much. But it shows, the care… he's a good man as always." Billy replied as his lips slowly formed a smile at the memory of the day he had handed the old orange truck over and the sight of the hidden joy in Charlies eyes at seeing his little girl actually happy about a gift that he had given her.



It was at that moment that another presence arrived inside the house as the front door was practically slammed open.

"Dad, heard Bella got almost hit by a van today. She survived thankfully."



A voice said, it was a young man with dark brown hair and tanned skin, he seemed slightly higher than average in height and his body overall semeed to be atleast vaguely fit, not muscly yet but it gave a sight that looked like the man had atleast been training for a few months.



This was Jacob Black, son of Billy Black and childhood friend of Bella Swan.



Billy's and the other man's eyes widened as they turned to face Jacob.



"She almost got hit by a van? What happened? She's okay? That's that's good but tell me everything, your basically skipping to the end son." Billy said as his voice shook slightly at the start before Jacobs words about Bella being fine registered and he slowly calmed down.



Jacob nodded as he walked and sat down next to the other old man, who was an elder of the Quileute Tribe.

Finally after settling down on the couch, Jacob started speaking once more.

"Yeah, from what I heard from other people, she was outside at the parking lot before Forks High and this kid who was driving lost control of his van in the snow and the car swerved but before it could hit Bella, Edward Cullen saved her." Jacob replied, his voice losing its excitement slightly as he arrived at the end of his sentence, Edward Cullen wasn't particularly one of his favourite people on the planet. Infact, if Jacob had to be honest with himself, he was most probably one of the most hated people in his mind.

'That damned… bastard.' Jacob thought inside his mind, as his teenage mind already started forming images of Bella and the bastard together before he shook his head as quickly as he could and focused back on the conversation at hand.



Unlike Jacob who only had a slight cold expression at the mention of Edward, Billy Black and the other elder had a much worse reaction, their faces souring almost instantly.

"The Cullen boy… that… that is good I suppose… but if he exposed himself… that would be quite the offence." Billy muttered to himself as he looked out the window once more at the falling sun, his expression showing clearly that he had once more retreated deeply inside his thoughts at this new piece of information.

Chapter 93
Meanwhile as that very same conversation was happening inside the Quileute reservation, another conversation was occuring in the complete opposite direction of the town, inside a location that was just as deep inside the forests as the reservation itself.

But in comparison to the reservations naturally built houses, this place was a mansion.

It was the Cullen Coven household mansion.

Inside of which, the entire Cullen Coven had gathered together, all the members either already sat on the couches in the living room or standing around.

Edward Cullen had just returned from the hospital where he and Bella Swan had been sent, during the entire drive back home, Rosalie Hale had been staring daggers at him and she finally couldn't hold back once they had sat down in the living room.

"Do you even understand what you've done? Do you have even an smudge of thought in that brain of yours?" She asked, her voice carrying rage that before might have been unjustified, before it might have just been the fear speaking, the fear for the humans, the horror at what she herself was, but this time it was different.

Edward din't reply, not vocally atleast as he simply nodded his head, his gaze lowered to the ground, thoughts running through his mind however he voice none of them as he remained unnaturally still.

"Why are you not talking? You've put all of us in danger and for what? Because you decided to somehow become obsessed with a human? A human girl? Is she worth our heads Edward? IS SHE?" Rosalie spoke once more, her tone rising until she was practically almost screaming as she walked closer to him, her hands that had been limp at her sides slowly curling and uncurling into what resembled clawing motions.

It was at that moment that Esme Cullen, the so called step mother of the entier family walked and stood inbetween the two of them.

"Calm down Rosie… I'm sure, Edward… he did the right thing, he saved a life." Esme said softly, her expression gentle as she tried to calm down the people that she genuinely considered as her own children.

"Calm down? Why doesn't he explain exactly what he did. He ran, infront of the entire student body, to save a human girl." Rosalie replied, the words practically being spat out in distaste.

Around the room, the rest of the Cullens didn't interviene.

Jasper Hale wasn't the type who would intervene in matters like this, Emmet Cullen felt like backing up Rosalie and Carlisle was simply listening for the moment, similarly deep in thought just like Edward seemed to be.

And lastly, Alice, Alice hadn't said a thing since the entire incident had occured, not to any of them atleast, her face was blank.

'I can't really… tell him that he shouldn't have done it considering the fact that I… I would have done the same thing if Bella had been replaced by Alan.' Alice thought to herself, as he turned her gaze away from her brother.

"I… I am not going to apologise for saving someones life." Edward finally spoke as he lifted his head, his pupils had slowly darkened, turning from the colour that resembled amber or gold, into something that resembled more of a dark brownish mud and it was quickly darkening further and further.

"You're not going to apologise for saving a life? Do tell me Edward, are you going to apologise when the Volturi find out and It's mine, or Esme's or everyone elses head in this family? Tell me." Rosalie replied, as she took another step, her arms were practically vibrating by this point, itching to claw their way into his body. His words had done nothing more than make the situation worse than it had been.

"I… I realise that, but even then… I would do it again. And… no one else noticed, the situation wasn't wasn't that bad." Edward replied as he shook his head and slowly stood up from his seated position on the living room couch.

"That's funny. Didn't Bella Swan ask to talk to you alone? We heard." Emmet speaks up for the first time as he released a deep low chuckle whilst shaking his head in amusement at Edwards words.

"She's… she doesn't know anything yet, even if she does, who would believe her, they'd just tell her that she was in shock and her mind hallucinated it. Carlisle could even further help cover this up by telling her that it was indeed something that could occur and it's a known medical phenomenon." Edward replied almost instantly as he turned his gaze towards his much larger brother who was standing by the wall next to the door.

"Right… so you're planning to tell her that what she saw was wrong and that she just hallucinated it and went kinda mentally insane for a moment because of the car crash shock. Right, and didn't you also spy on her whilst she slept? Really… selling the creepy vampire vibes Edward." Alice interjected, her voice clearly showing her amusement as Alan's words about Edward being weird returned to her mind for a moment.

Edward turned towards her and if a glare could kill, Alice would have been already six feet deep, over a dozen times over.

Alice simply raised her hands in surrender as she chuckled and took a step back.

Chapter 94
"Alright… let's just calm down for a moment. Edward is right, it isn't the end of the world and he wasn't wrong in wanting to save someones life. I'll help deal with the coverup and incase she asks anything more, you can just tell her to come to the hospital for another check up. At that point, I'll do as you said and tell her it was just her mind playing games on her. But you have to be more careful next time Edward." Carlisle Cullen finally spoke as he got out of the deep thoughts that he had been in. His golden amber eyes meeting Edward's darkening ones as he stood up and walked towards the boy that he treated as his very own son.

"Carlisle… thank you." Edward replied simply, his voice lowering slightly in both gratitude and respect towards the older man who had always treated him so well and tried his best to help him under any circumstances that he found himself in.

"With that, we should go hunting tonight, Alice and Edward especially have been… rather unstable as of late, I need you two atleast to always be highly fed just so the chances of any accidents happening are as low as possible. Jasper, you can follow them tonight aswell since It's been a while since your last feeding hunt." Carlisle said as he motioned with his head to the three of them.



Jasper Hale nodded his head as he slowly got up from his seated position and walked to stand inbetween Alice and Edward who had both already given their agreement to the suggestion with a nod.



'He's right, especially with Alan around, the slightest thing he does is making me emotional in ways that I have never been before in. If he got accidentally wounded, or I saw his blood… that could be very very bad if I wasn't satiated enough.' Alice thought to herself as she turned to walk out of the Cullen Coven Mansion.



Edward following behind her, he had agreed almost instantly, even now, he could feel the thirst, the undying thirst for blood that every vampire experienced, especially the ones like the Cullens who were voluntary vegetarians in a way. They only fed on Animal blood, however that in and of itself had side effects.



One of the visual ones was the fact that theyr eye colour wasn't the usual vampiric red bur rather a golden amber like colour that Alan had noticed so many times before.



The big side effect however wasn't a simply change in visual eye colour, it was the fact that none of them could ever truly be satiated by Animal blood.



They would be able to curb their animalistic rage for it, and they would be able to survive off of Animal blood, however the thirst for blood, that feeling as if your throat was on fire, that would never truly be gotten rid of by simply drinking Animal blood.



The only way to get rid of that disgusting feeling in the back of their throats was by consuming human blood, something that all of them had sworn themselves off of.



As the group of three vampires walked to the front door, at one moment they were walking normally, just like any other human and then in the very next second, their figures blurred as they reached supernatural speeds in an instant, running towards the forests outside in the search of prey that they could drain.



That prey usually consisted of Deer, mountain lions, bears and the like. Each of them had their own favourites, an example would be Emmet Cullen who almost always preferred to drink blood out of bears or how Edward Cullen had a taste for mountain lions.



'Still… I can't wait to see Alan again tomorrow. I wonder what he's doing?' Alice thought to herself as she dodged the tens of trees in her path, even whilst she ran at supernatural speeds, her reflexes and reaction time were similarly supernatural, she had complete control over her direction, speed and mobility.



To her, running at this blurring speed was the same as for other humans running at human speeds, if not easier, the chances of her not being able to react to something were practically nill whilst the chances of Humans being unable to react to something in time whilst they were running were much much higher.



"Still thinking about that kid? He's… strange, doens't exactly feel normal." Edward muttered as he followed behind her, running just as fast as Alice Cullen, infact he was running at her speed and he was doing it even more easily than she was. Edward was known as one of the fastest vampires around. Each vampire had their gifts and their special traits, Edward was known for his thought reading, telepathic ability aswell as for his trait being speed. Alice Cullen was known for the future sight and her trait which was greater reflexes and dexterity.



Jasper who was following behind them had the gift of empathy and emotional control, aswell as the trait that increased his ability to read into peoples movements, a trait that was almost completely related to combat, something that was closely tied to his past and the way that he had been transformed into a vampire and what he had been used for after his transformation into one.



"Yeah… just like you're thinking about her. Atleast I'm not as creepy about it." Alice muttered as she ran.

"You do know that I know about you spying on him whilst he slept last week right?" Edward muttered as he ran after her, his face showing a complicated emotion.



The three of them finally increased their speed even further as they disappeared deeper inside the forest, having already caught the scent of their prey waiting unknowingly for them.

Chapter 95
Hours passed, the date changing as it became tomorrow, the sun rising slowly over the horizon though it remained utterly hidden from eyesight by the large heavy clouds that were almost always present in the town of Forks.



It was at that moment that a body appeared inside one of the apartments in Forks.



It was Alan, he had spent the entire night inside of the dungeon, having fought for hours on end until he had finally decided that it was enough. This wasn't the first time that he had reappeared inside his room during the night, he had done it multiple times, there was no real way to check the time inside of the dungeon and so he had to leave and rejoin just to check what the time outside was. He didn't want another incident with him having missed multiple days though that time hadn't exactly been because of his own volition.



Taking a deep breath, Alan released a sigh slowly as his breath started to calm down, he had just finished another fight inside of his dungeon, the last one that he had done for the night, having pushed himself as hard as he could in order to level up as fast as he could however the experience gain wasn't anywhere near as fast as it had previously been.



'Still… Level thirty seven, it's not bad, not bad at all for now. Just thirteen more levels for me to reach the next dungeon, which I'm guessing is going to be the next threshold.' Alan thought to himself as he took a deep breath and took off his clothes that had already turned almost completely sweaty in mere seconds since he had returned from the dungeon.



Looking down at them, he felt a slight amount of irritation.



'I should have changed out into my underwear before going inside the dungeon, the fact that I can't choose what clothes I want to wear after I'm done with the dungeon and just straight up teleport into what I had is both a sort of blessing aswell as an annoyance once your not in any actual danger.' Alan thought as he slowly took off his clothes before heading inside his bathroom to take a shower.



Finishing his daily morning routine of showering, brushing his teeth and eating a few protein nutrition bars from the systems shop, he quickly got dressed into his school clothes and headed outside, walking down the side walk towards Forks Highschool.



It was at that moment however that something caught his eyes, with his enhanced perception, he could see quite a lot farther than most regular humans.



Out there, on the left side of him, near the tree line, something was watching.



Alan didn't turn his head, doing so felt like putting himself in danger and at the moment whatever was watching him, wasn't making any sudden moves that he could or needed to react to.



'What… is that thing?' Alan thought as his brows furrowed as he kept walking, whilst trying to see as much as he could with the side of his eye.



Right there at the tree line, though the sight was slightly blurry, he could see a tall dark figure, if it had been just that, Alan wouldn't have been concerned, it could have just been a regular human however he was more than certain that it wasn't a human. For a very simple fact.



His mana perception had been turned on, and the thing was surrounded, basically drenched in a large quantity of mana that almost reached the same level as what he had seen from Alice Cullen and the rest of her family.



But the colour, it was almost the complete opposite of the vampires, which had a bloody crimson aura that surrounded them, this thing had a dark emerald coloured aura that surrounded it almost completely, almost helping it blend better with the forest around it.



And for a split second, Alan felt almost like an instinctive… warmth towards the thing, not exactly an emotion of kindness but something closer to familiarity.



And the other difference that clearly put it away from a regular human was the fact that it's eyes were… piercing yellow and staring directly at him, even from this far away, he could see them almost clearly.



If Alan had been a human, if it had just been last week, he wouldn't have noticed the creature at all, atleast not before his evolution into a quarter elf, but now he could, and as he was walking towards his school whilst making sure that on the outside it looked like he was just gazing ahead of him, another thought struck him.



'Those eyes… they're a bit weird… not in just colour, its the spacing… a regular… person doesn't have that wide of a… that thing… is it not humanoid?' Alan thought as a shiver started from the back of his neck and went all the way down to the base of his spine.



He had already tried using Observation however he had found out that the distance between him and it was too large for the observation to work in any way at all.



'Damned it, just as soon as one problem is gone, another problem comes and it comes looking for me. Why? Did it find out that I'm… I'm not human? What reason does it have to be monitoring me? Is it… a friend of her?' Alan questioned himself however as much as he tried, he couldn't come up with a reason as to why, no, it was more like he could however he had no idea on which one was actually the case and if any of the thoughts he had were even correct.

Chapter 96
As minutes passed, Alan's figure disappeared into the distance, the morning fog of Forks hiding him from the view of the thing that had been watching him as he disappeared into a blur.

Meanwhile… the thing that had been watching him slowly started to straighten up, as the sound of bones being rearranged and broken rang out, the sound of tearing flesh and if one had the ability to hear what humans couldn't they would even hear the sound of organs being rearranged.

What had before been a hulking wolf, a monster that was practically gigantic in comparison to any other wolf that humankind knew, had turned into a naked male human with tanned skin and short dark brown hair. His body was built and filled with muscle yet at the same time not to the point where it would harm his mobility or athletic ability.

It was at that moment that another man appeared behind him, a few meters away hidden behind a tree and threw him a pair of clothes. It was another dark skinned man with middle length hair.

"So, did you find anything Sam?" The man asked as Sam, the man who had just turned from a gigantic wolf and back into a human was dressing himself back up in a pair of jeans and a white shirt that had clearly seen much better days.

"No… there's nothing. He doesn't smell like the cold ones, he smells slightly different but its only a slight difference, could just be a perfume or something similar… if anything, he smells closer to how we do than them." Sam Uley replied as he shook his head, his voice was gruff, almost as if he was using it for the first time, something that happened every time that he transformed back from his wolf form and back into his human form.

"I see, then I guess there really wasn't anything… still, we could go and check his apartment whilst he's away, see if you can smell anything there." The other man said as he shrugged his shoulders, walking closer to Sam now that he was fully clothed.

"Right… let's go get it done with." Sam replied, as he turned and the two of them walked out from the edge of the tree line and into the streets, heading towards Alan Walkers apartment whilst Alan himself was heading towards Forks Highschool.

Around twenty minutes later, Alan arrived before the highschool parking lot, he walked inside, deep inside his own mind as he kept walking on the outside, even whilst he was deeply in his thoughts, he perception over the surroundings hadn't slipped even for a slight second, it was something that he had learned how to do by being in battle so constantly with the slimes, sometimes he had to think of strategies on the fly however when one was in the middle of battle, he couldn't hope to stop and ask the opponent to stop so that they could come up with some kind of strategy, he had to do it whilst fighting them.

It was at that moment that his mind noticed something at the other end of the parking lot. Alice Cullen was currently waving at him as she practically started skipping towards his direction.

Stopping for a moment and shaking his head slightly to get himself out of his thoughts and more ready, he turned to face the woman that had almost already reached him.

'Let's… not think about whatever that was for a bit. It's not like I can do anything more than be more on guard, but I already am, I'm already doing everything that I can by leveling up as much as I can. Perhaps… I should start heading to a different location when I enter the dungeon, somewhere that nobody knows and then entering the dungeon, if i keep doing it inside of my bedroom, I could teleport back and find myself already inside of a trap or something similar. That… that's a good idea.' Alan thought as his mind finally came back to the surface as he gazed at Alice who had already spoken.

"Sorry, can you repeat that? I was thinking about something just now." Alan muttered as he lifted his hand and rubbed the back of his neck awkwardly as he made an almost shy smile, apologising.

Alice looked at him for a moment before releasing a soft giggle as she patted his back.

"I was just asking if you got a dog or something, you smell like one. So, any cute puppies? You smell like wet dog, and honestly It's a pretty bad smell on you, I thought you'd be more of a cat person." Alice replied as she wrinkled her nose and made and exaggerated motion by shaking her head as if to show him just how much he smelled.

The question confused Alan for a moment as he looked at her, his eyes widening slightly as he instantly connected or atleast made another theory.

'Wet dog… could it be because of that thing?' Alan thought to himself in confusion before he shook his head on the outside.

"No, I don't have a dog and I don't plan on getting one anytime soon, I don't have the time to properly care for it and if your not taking good care of your pets, its not even worth getting them in the first place." Alan replied, and the instant he did, Alice's expression changed, her amber eyes that had appeared to almost be shining more than usual darkened almost instantly.

"I… I see, maybe you just touched a random stray or something. Who knows… you have to be careful though. Forks really… should get rid of those dogs from the streets." Alice said with a tight smile on her face.
 
Chapter 97
"I… I see, maybe you just touched a random stray or something. Who knows… you have to be careful though. Forks really… should get rid of those dogs from the streets." Alice said with a tight smile on her face as she looked at Alan, her eyes having almost fully darkened before they slowly started to regain their amber colouring once more as her smily turned from tight and looking utterly forced to anyone that was watching to something much more real.

"So, I was thinking, you already told me that you couldn't come by last week since you were going out with your friends, you wanna go out together tonight? I know this good pizza place in port angeles and we could take my car. Have some fun y'know?" Alice said as she walked closer until the point where she was practically chest to chest with Alan.

Looking down at the shorter woman, Alan felt confusion slowly spread in his mind for a brief moment before he remembered what she was talking about. Alice had indeed invited him last week, before all of the stuff had occurred, before he had encountered all of the shit that had gone on to scar his possibly for life.

'Right… I totally forgot about that, It slipped my mind entirely, that did happen… before I went with those guys to check out the weed, or atleast I think it was around that time. Not quite exactly sure with the timing… that part, and that day isn't really something that I want to even remember… damn it.' Alan thought to himself, almost feeling the need to sigh right then and there however he held himself back, he couldn't just sigh at this moment, to others who couldn't read his thoughts, it would be like he was sighing in exasperation that she had even asked him to go out.

'Still… I want as much time to train as possible, especially with whatever that thing that was watching me was… but on the other hand, fostering an even better relationship with the Cullens will only do me good. I guess I can… it would just be a few hours and then I can head back into the dungeon when I return.' Alan thought quickly inside his mind as he put the value of training for a few more hours against the value of his current relationship and future relationship with the cullens against eachother and weighed them.

Lifting his hand to rub the base of his neck, a motion that he had started doing a lot more often these days without even noticing, he gave a slow nod towards her.

"Alright, when do you want to meet up? And what time." Alan asked, his voice soft and slightly tinged with a tone of curiosity as he looked down at the pixie-like woman before him that was looking at him as if he had just given her the world simply by agreeing to what was most certainly a date in her eyes even if Alan himself didn't particularly think so.

"Hell yeah! Finally! Do you know how many times you've dodged me. Getting you to go anywhere is like basically impossible y'know? I barely got you to sit with me in the cafeteria. I'm winning, slowly but surely!" Alice said with that giddy excited tone of hers as she raised a fist up towards the air, in what Alan thought was… a frankly cute expression and pose if one didn't consider the fact that this small and quite frankly tiny woman could likely snap his body in half or straight up take his head and spine off with a simple arm movement.

'Still… when you just look at her like this, she really is just an excited teenager sometimes. But… I wonder what her actual age is… and isn't it kinda creepy if she's like… hundreds of years old and still acting like this? Food for later thought.' Alan thought to himself before he shook his head outwardly, his lips slightly lifting upwards, it was almost impossible not to smile when watching how Alice acted sometimes, atleast now that he didn't have that almost everpresent instinctual fear sense that she had been giving him when he was entirely human.

"So? Time and place? Or are you just going to keep celebrating, almost makes me want to turn around and not show up y'know?" Alan said, his voice teasing as he looked into her eyes.

In an isntant, Alice's eyes widened comically as she released a clearly exaggerated gasp towards him.

"No way, you wouldn't dare. With how you act sometimes, I'm starting to think you might be gay or something. Not that I would judge, just sayin." Alice said in turn, her voice carrying an equally if not higher teasing voice than his had just been.

Alan felt his eyebrow twitch in slight annoyance before he released a soft chuckle.

"No, I'm straight, so give me the answer already." He replied, slightly serious before turning his gaze to look past her towards the rest of the cullens, directly at Jasper.

"Or am I?" Alan said teasingly.

"Ah you, stop looking over there. Anyways, I'll come pick you up at your place, like two hours after classes end. Is that okay?" Alice asked as she practically started grabbing his shirt to forcefully turn him around so he faced her.

"Fine, that work's just fine for me. I'll see you then. I gotta head inside now, get my books and get ready for class." Alan replied as he gave a nod as he lifted his arm and patted her shoulder for a moment before taking his hand away.

"Alright, It's a promise, don't you dare take your word back Alan. Don't want you disappearing on me again for days got it?" Alice said as she raised her hand, making it into a fist and shaking it infront of his face.

"Alright, Alright. Calm down." Alan said back, raising his hands up in surrender before turning to walk towards the front of the school, lifting one arm in a wave without even looking back.

"See you later then."

"Sure… see you later Alan." Alice replied as she waved back even though he wasn't looking, her voice having grown softer as he watched his figure get smaller and smaller as he walked away.

Chapter 98 New
As soon as Alan's figure disappeared inside of the front doors of the highschool, the soft almost gentle expression on Alice's face disappeared as if it hadn't even been there in the first place, her body turning towards the rest of her family as she started walking quickly towards them.



Arriving before them in seconds, she stopped right infront of the two cars, the silver volvo and the red jeep.

Emmet Cullen and Rosalie Hale were standing together as they usually did, backs to the Jeep doors whilst Jasper Hale was standing a few feet away by himself, a small book in his hand that he seemed to be reading, it looked like something that had been written a long time ago, simply by the fact that the leather on the book itself looked extremely dated.



Edward Cullen meanwhile was by his silver volvo, his gaze seemed absent as if he was still deeply inside his own thoughts, or maybe he was trying to simply try and ignore the thoughts of the hundreds of students that were buzzing around in the parking lot.



Alice made a soft coughing noise, and instantly the attention of all of them focused on her, Edward getting out of his daze and turning to gaze at her questioningly for a moment before his eyes narrowed and his expression turned almost sour. Meanwhile Jasper had already lowered his book, having sensed her tumultuous emotions already before she had even coughed. Emmet and Rosalie were the only ones that didn't sense the aggression in Alice for a moment however they realised almost just as quickly with one simple look into her eyes that had become the colour of dark obsidian.



"What is it?" Rosalie asked, her voice both curious and yet guarded, she didn't see Alice this affected often, but it seemed to happen more and more since she had started talking with this Alan, and she already had an inclination to believe that it was somehow related to him.

"Alan's… being watched by some of the Quileute… I think they're pushing a bit too far with this aren't they?" Alice said softly, slowly, her voice didn't carry any aggression, it was casual, as if she was talking about the weather today and yet that very tone which would have been normal on any other person, was completely abnormal on the usual giddy and excited and warm Alice Cullen.



"The dogs… they don't know about your relationship with him or what he is to you, they just see you getting close to a human and that he might be something, All of us already suspect something about him, his changes are too drastic, not to mention the fact that the friends he made just last week are now gone, as if they have vanished into thin air. This could just be them controlling to check if anything… suspicious is going on." Edward replied as he walked to stand closer to her, the rest of the Cullens following through as they made an almost semicircle around eachother.



"That could be the case, but I don't particularly care Edward. I don't want them anywhere near him." Alice replied, her tone soft and casual as she shook her head.

"They're likely to disappear and leave him alone if they find nothing." Edward answered back, trying to get her to calm down slightly, unlike from before, this could become a major incident really quickly, and it would more than likely end up in bloodshed if it did and in a treaty that had lasted centuries being broken.



"But they can find something Edward, that's what your not understanding. He isn't normal. He clearly isn't. And they could find something and if they do, those mutts will attack, because they for some reason think that only they are safe and any other supernatural creature or thing besides them is an enemy to be killed. Those damned dogs. I don't care Edward, I want him safe, and I want him mine and I do not want anyone to even touch him." Alice replied, her voice soft as she slowly and carefully pronounced each and every word as she looked him directly into the eyes.



"That… are you saying that you don't care even if he is the reason that those kids disappeared?" Jasper asked slowly as he looked at Alice, his ability was already working on overdrive to calm the tsunami of emotions that were happening inside of the small body of Alice Cullen.

Alice slowly turned her head as she gazed at Jasper Hale, before her lips slowly lifted up into a smile that each and every other cullen would remember for days to pass. It was beautiful, undeniably a beautiful smile, every vampire was extremely charismatic afterall, however it wasn't just beautiful, it was similarly harrowing in an uncanny way that only they who knew the secret behind their existence and what they were could truly comprehend.



"I am. I am saying exactly that Jasper. When I was first turned, I didn't know what I was doing, I didn't care about human life, I was a mindless beast before Carlisle found me. And I do believe in the new ways that Carlisle taught me, I truly do. But there are certain lines that should not be crossed with me Jasper. And the biggest red… fucking line Jasper. Is touching my mate. Is snooping around list a fucking dog where you should not be. And as for Alan… even if he is the cause of that disappearance... He is ultimately mine. If anyone were to punish him, it would be me. I am the only one who gets to decide and the only one who gets to punish him in any way or regard." Alice replied, her voice almost carefree, almost giddy, the tone only adding to the overall weirdness… and horror of the conversation that was happening, it wasn't the words themselves that represented horror, it was the implication of what she was saying that was horrific.

Chapter 99 New
The hours slowly passed, the students heading from one classroom to the other as they carried on with their classes for the day. Bell ring after bell ring until the final bell rang and the students were finally released once more from the gates of academic hell as most would call it.



Getting up from his seat near the window, Alan stretched his arms above as he released a soft tired yawn before turning and starting to walk out of the class.



The rest of the classes hadn't truly been anything exciting, the talk about what had occurred yesterday was still ongoing and there really wasn't any other gossip that he could partake in that he found particularly interesting, it wasn't like he had any friends left currently, the ones he used to have were… dead and the only other so called friend was Alice Cullen, and he had already made plans with her after school.



Walking down the winding halls of the highschool building, Alan quickly arrived at the front door as he exited out of the building and headed down the parking lot. Noticing Alice and the rest of the Cullens at the side, already at their cars, he didn't stop as he simply lifted his hand in a wave towards Alice before walking off, towards his apartment.



The walk home didn't take a while, not more than twenty minutes of a bit of a quicker pace than usual before he was standing infront of his apartment building once more.



Alan stopped, right at the entrance of the building as he turned his head slightly towards the right and then left, however he couldn't see anything or anyone even with his enhanced vision.



'Mana Perception.' Alan thought to himself and in an instant the ability was activated, showing him an entirely different world than the one, humans saw regularly on a day to day basis.



However even with the mana perception activated and him looking around as he slowly started walking up the stairs of the building towards his apartment, he didn't notice anything out of the ordinary.



Slowly taking out his key from his pocket and putting it inside the keyhole, he turned it and with a loud clicking noise, the front door of his apartment was unlocked.



Slowly pushing the door, he entered inside and froze, his eyes slowly widening as he gazed at the insides of his… what had been his apartment atleast.



There were scratch marks, all around the room, and his bed was amost completely destroyed, the white cotton stuffing having spread everywhere after the pillows and the mattress had been utterly dismantled, looking as if they had been thrown inside of a meat grinder.



His desk, the desk that he had owned for years by this point was broken, it hadn't been broken even during his fight with Johana and yet here it was, broken into pieces that were now scattered all around the room. But that, that wasn't the worst part.



'My… my fucking clothes.' Alan thought to himself as he stared at the completely ripped jeans and shirts and even the damned underwear that had just been ripped apart and then thrown to the middle of the room, right there on the floor where he could see it as soon as he walked inside.



'Who… did this. No, what did this? That's claw marks. That's most definitely claw marks.' Alan thought as he slowly tensed his jaw to the point where his teeth could be heard audibly grinding against eachother as he slowly took a step forward and then another before crouching down infront of the ripped clothing pile in the middle of the room.



'You… You absolute shit heads, I don't… I don't even have the money to buy new clothes, I don't have the fucking time to go shopping, why did you even do this? Why the fuck… you… haaah…' Alan thought as he released a long winded sigh, slowly attempting to calm himself down, it was one thing to enter inside of his apartment without his consent, it was another thing entirely to enter his apartment and then proceed to practically ruin everything that he owned for reasons that Alan still couldn't figure out.



'I don't know what they're or what it is after, but I know one thing from sure, just from this. It's either got anger problems, or it very very clearly does not like me. Fuck… well alright then you fucker. You wanna play like this?' Alan thought as he slowly stood up from his crouched position where he had been crouched at, holding a pair of his underwear that he threw away to the ground as soon as he stood up.



Slowly his hand moved towards his right pocket as he took out the his flip phone and flipped the upper part open before starting to type out a number inside as he navigated to the call menu of the phone.



*Ring*



*Ring*



*Ring*



The phone rang thrice before the phone was picked up on the other side of the line.



The contact name showing on the caller id finally as Alan held the phone and slowly brought it up to his ear, his expression having changed from furious to something much colder, it was pure hatred, it was in a way a petty hatred, if that thing wanted to mess with him… well then, he wasn't about to play fair. Not anymore.



[ Alice Cullen. ]



That was the name of the contact he had just called.

[ Alice Cullen. ]

That was the name of the contact that he had just called on his phone.

"Alan? What's up? Why are you calling me this early… oh wait, don't tell me… you couldn't wait for me to show up and got the jitters?" Alice said from the other side of the line, her voice slowly turning teasing by the end of her sentence however Alan didn't respond, not instantly, not for a few seconds as the call turned silent after Alice had spoken her teasing line.

A few seconds later, Alice spoke once more, her voice slowly losing that teasing giddy edge that it had before as it turned softer, more concerned.

"Alan? You there?" She asked from the other side of the phone call.

Finally, Alan spoke, his voice colder than it had been in a while, it didn't shake and neither did it carry any kind of emotion, not the anger and neither did it carry the hate and pettyness that he was currently feeling towards whatever had done this to him.

"There's been a problem. My apartment, someone came inside and kind of basically just destroyed all of my shit. So… I don't know If I'll be able to come with you tonight for the date thing." Alan said, calmly into the phone, coldly, he didn't ask for her help, he didn't need to, he knew that the best way to ask for help sometimes wasn't to ask for it, it was to simply take away something that the other person wanted because of something that had happened, and if the other person could fix the situation, than they naturally would because they would want their prize and in this case, the date itself was the prize that Alice had been vying over.

"It was… your place was destroyed?" Alice asked, her voice still maintained that concerned edge however it had somehow turned into a deeper lower pitch than before, for a moment Alan almost felt like it wasn't Alice on the line at all, the voice was simply too different from the one that he usually heard.

"Yeah, it's pretty much ruined, and the fucker even got all of my clothes and ripped them before just dropping them in the middle of the room, they didn't even take anything, not like I had anything of value, they just ruined my apartment and left, the weird thing is that I dont even know how they managed to get inside, the door was locked with my key and the lock wasn't broken when i came inside just now." Alan replied as he slowly walked and sat down, his back sliding along the wall until he was flat on his ass on the ground.

"I see… I'll come right over, you can't stay there, what if they're still somewhere nearby. It's dangerous, did you call the police yet?" Alice asked, her voice carrying over the line together with the sound of fast footsteps and the rushing wind that could be heard from over the line, she was clearly running somewhere and fast.

"No, havn't called anyone besides you yet, I was just kind of in shock and called you first, maybe instinct." Alan replied as he held the phone close to his ear, his voice slowly turning slightly afraid on the line at her mention of the attacker being possibly nearby however that was all an act, Alan's face proved his true emotions much better than his voice ever did, there wasn't a speck of fear on his expression, his expression was a complete and utterly emotionless deadpan, the emotions were inside him, not showing and they most certainly weren't fear.

"You… by instinct… good. Just… I'll be right there in a few minutes. Don't move." Alice replied, her voice softening and almost turning breathy for a moment, the words almost being stuttered out of her mouth from over the phone call as the sound of the rushing wind similarly stopped for an instant, it was clear that his words had done their intended effect on her.

'Like hell I'd call the police on this, my apartment already was a crime scene, and If I add this on top of it, It'll just get weirder and more suspicious… besides that's not even the biggest reason, this clearly wasn't done by something human. It was likely done by that thing that was looking at me from the woods in the morning, whatever that thing was… wait… Alice did say that I smelled like a dog… a wolf? Some kind of werewolf?' Alan thought to himself as he suddenly remembered Alice's expression when she had smelled him earlier in the day aswell as the mysterious figure that he could only see the shining eyes of from the edge of his vision earlier in the day.

'That… werewolf? Is that it? Fuck… first vampires, and then skin walkers or whatever and now fucking werewolfs.' Alan thought as he slowly released a sigh of pure unadulterated exhaustion, the phone call was still on however thankfully it hadn't managed to pick up his sigh.

"Yeah, I'll stay put, right here in my room. Ain't got anywhere else to be anyways, still… I wonder who did this, you got any idea? They must have used some kind of special tool or something, it looks like something basically clawed the entire room, it's like they released a bear or a wolf or something inside here." Alan said outloud, trying to subtly gain information on whether his theory of a werewolf was correct without actually saying it oudloud but merely telling Alice of the marks and waiting for her reaction over the phone line.

"Claw marks?" Alice's voice was heard from over the line… and somehow, impossibly… it had become even darker, it was to the point where it almost resembled a growl more than it did human speech.

Chapter 101 New
"Claw marks?" Alice's voice was heard from over the line… and somehow, impossibly… it had become even darker, it was to the point where it almost resembled a growl more than it did human speech.

"Yeah, It's like someone put a wild animal inside here. No idea what happened… I think they got in through a window or something. Anyways, you know where I live right?" Alan asked over the phone as he released a sigh, slightly exaggerated however with the current situation that was occurring at the moment, it wasn't like she would notice anything about it.

"Wild Animal… Yeah… I guess that would be a way to describe them. I mean… however attacked and destroyed your home." Alice said, the first words that left her mouth and were transferred over the phone were said with such venom that i clearly carried through the line, the tone itself held what could only be called pure hate, it felt even worse than what Alan himself was feeling at the current moment and the situation had happened to him. Not Alice in the first place.

'She… sure does sound… over protective… and in a way, it seems like she does have some kind of information on who this could possible be. Could it be that the Cullens and these guys actually know eachother? Unlike with Johana who was from another city… these guys or this thing could be based on or around Forks.' Alan thought as an idea instantly formed inside of his mind as he tried to piece together whatever he could from the information that he was trying to glean from his conversation with Alice over the phone.

"Alright, I'm already in my car, I'll be there in a bit, just hold the line if you need to." Alice said over the phone, her voice having grown softer, losing its previous edge, turning into something that almost resembled words of comfort directed towards Alan.

"No… It's fine, I'll see you when you're here, just come up the stairs, the doors open so you should be able to see which apartments mine." Alan replied, he had no need to keep her on the call when he had other thoughts inside his mind, acting with her was tiring especially if he had to start thinking about what he actually had to do. He had a great ally in the Cullens however at the same time, whilst the danger wasn't inherently from them anymore as he had learned, it was from the system itself, the thing had warned him, if he told the Cullens about its existence, the penalty would be death, a penalty that he didn't want to test or try even slightly, he did not know for sure if he would still get the penalty even if he accidentally exposed himself. And so he was still in danger, however he had chosen to at least do the danger that he could somewhat prevent and try to avoid, which in this case was indeed the system.

Meanwhile the other danger was the thing that had attacked his apartment, he couldn't control that danger in any way, he couldn't even predict when it would occur again either, so he had chosen the lesser of the two dangers to deal with in a way.

"Alright. I'll be right there." Alice replied over the phone before the call ended as the phone showed the call ending screen before Alan flipped it closed once more and slowly stood up from his seated position where he had been with his back against the wall.

Standing up to his full height, he slowly walked to his window and with a single look, it was clear that the attacker had chosen this as his entrance, the window itself wasn't shattered, if one looked from the outside they wouldn't have noticed anything however as soon as Alan lifted his hand and grasped the handle, it was clear that it was broken and barely handing on, the hinges having completely broken as well.

'It just jammed the window back in… thats why It looks normal. There's no fuckin hinges at all, he just crammed it shut.' Alan thought as the entire window just came together with the broken handle, falling down onto the floor besides him.

*Shatter*

As soon as it fell, the glass shattered as well and Alan was left there, looking down at his shattered and completely broken window, his deadpan expression slowly cracking as his eyebrows twitched, a vein starting to bulge on his forehead as he his hands slowly curled up into fists.

'I have to pay for this shit too huh…' Alan thought to himself as he slowly walked closer to what had once been his window and was now just an opening in the wall to look outside, leaning against it, he put his head out as he felt the evening wind softly blowing against his face.

'I wonder… why am I so angry?' Alan thought to himself suddenly, it was a sudden unexpected thought that had just occurred to him as he was leaning out from the window sill.

'I've faced worse odds and I've been angry before, but never… quite this explosively. It… It almost feels like I was betrayed… why?' Alan questioned himself inside his own mind as he tried to find a reason and yet he wasn't coming up with anything that made sense.

Here's the chapter of the day

Chapter 102 New
The more he thought about it, the more his emotions became weirder to him in a way, it was as if they were enhanced, no more like they were the emotions of another person entirely. Sure, Alan knew that he was a teenager, that he did get angry quite often, but not to this extent and most certainly not when inside what could potentially be a danger zone where the attacker could hit him at any second.



And it was at that moment as he was thinking about it, that something occurred to him, it was a small detail that had flied past him and he had almost forgotten about it entirely throughout the entire day.



When he had seen that thing, and those shining yellow eyes in the darkness of the treeline together with that green emerald aura that had surrounded the being, Alan had felt a sort of warmth or connection towards it, almost instinctively.



'Is my mind processing this as a betrayal instead of just an attacker?' Alan thought finally as the pieces slowly fell into place, it was the only reason that he could find however it was a reason that was even more unexplainable than him simply not knowing the reason for his emotions at all. That way, he could have simply explained it away as him losing his cool today a bit more than usual, but this detail added… something that didn't make sense at all, in any sort or shape of way.



'Why would I feel warmth towards that thing that was very much clearly inhuman, and something that I have never met before in my life? Was it some sort of ability that the thing had? Some kind of magic?' Alan thought for a moment as confusion slowly rippled through his mind before he shook his head.



'Even if I think about it now, I can't really find a reason, I dont have any real information on what that thing was, but atleast I can form some assumptions and possible reasons. Number one would most certainly be that it has some kind of magic that can influence my mind and emotions, that is the worst one, I just finished dealing with that fucking mind possesion bitch. The other reason would be that It's a creature that inherently has an extremely high charisma, this would be better than the magic as it would mean that it's not a controller effect but rather just its aura. That's basically the only two ways that I can think of at the moment with my current knowledge…. Damned it, I still know so little about this world.' Alan thought in frustration as he shook his head, he desperately hoped that it wasn't his first assumption, that would be a massive headache, however even if it was the second option, it wouldn't be much better but it would at least be less dangerous.



'Alright, let's… let's just get ready for Alice to come, after talking with her… I could potentially start… trying to get her to tell me stuff… whilst trying to maintain my secrecy. Though after my transformation, she clearly knows I'm… not normal but it doesn't matter if she suspects… and if worst comes to worst…. I can simply tell a lie to cover up the system, something believable…' Alan thought to himself before nodding to himself and turning to head back inside.



Once inside, he looked around the room, his mana perception still activated however he couldn't see any mana or residue that could have been left behind.



'I'd likely need a higher level of the skill to be able to see the residue or mana that has been around here. Or another evolution that would put me closer to a more complete elf. That would be… useful. I Imagine that's likely going to be at either level sixty or maybe fifty since that's the next dungeon?' Alan thought as circled around his room, trying to find anything and then he stopped. He finally found something.



Slowly he crouched down to the floor, it was right there, near the corner of the room, almost right next to his completely and fully ruined desk.



'Is that… a hair?' Alan thought as he took the hair follicle with two fingers and slowly lifted it up and towards the light so that he could have a better look at it.



It was tall, black and almost completely straight, and unlike any other human hair that he had seen before because it most certainly wasn't human, and he could tell with a simple glance.



The hair follicle was too thick to belong to any regular human being.



'It's… similar to the hair… or rather fur of a dog? And with what Alice said previously… wolves… werewolves… It's practically confirmed by this point isn't it?' Alan thought to himself before shaking his head as he slowly stood up.



It was at that moment that he heard the roaring of a car engine pushed to its limits coming from a few streets away.



'That's… most definitely a sports car.' Alan thought to himself before he shook his head for what felt like the hundredth time.



'Here I am, getting mad over old pairs of fuckin jeans and she pulls up in….' Alan thought as he finally turned his head to the window and set his gaze on the sports car that had just practically done a perfect drift through the corner of the street and was coming towards his apartment building at speeds that were more than definitely illegal.



'In a yellow porsche 911…'

Chapter 103 New
The yellow porsche pulled up at speeds that far surpassed what the legal street limit was, drifting through the corner before pulling up before the building at lightning fast speeds.

As soon as the car stopped, the driver side door was pushed open so fast that It almost sounded like it would break completely off of its hinges.

And out came Alice Cullen, her eyes had almost completely darkened, to the point where there was no pupils and iris anymore, both of them had turned almost the exact same shade of darkness.

Looking down at her from the window in his apartment, Alan felt a shiver slowly course through his body, the only reason as to why he wasn't completely frozen at the moment was because the current Alice wasn't releasing her killing intent towards him, that much Alan was sure of. And so, just the intent that was rolling off of her body, had reached the point where it was affecting him, someone that was above a regular human being, simply because he was in a range with her and could see her.

'Just… how the… if this is what she can do when she's truly mad… what would happen to me if she was mad at me instead of for me.' Alan thought and the more he did the less he wanted to think about it. The current Alice and the Current him were clearly not even in the same category yet alone league.

For a while, he had thought that he had somewhat caught up to the Cullens, he had never been delusional enough to think that he had truly completely caught up to them, however he had thought that he had atleast made some meaningful progress. But now that he thought about all that he knew about them, the more he realised that 'that' wasn't the case at all. Infact, if he put in together, their speed that Edward had showed, the strength that he had similarly shown by being able to stop a moving van, and the durability aswell as the sheer amount of pressure just the killing intent that they could creaete gave off, it was no doubt at this point in time.

'Hundreds… theyr in the hundreds in levels, that… that's the only way.' Alan thought before noticing as Alice quickly headed to his apartment buildings front door and went inside, the sound of footsteps practically running up the stairs being heard and then a mere moment later, Alice appeared into view again, this time through the open front door, and merely a few feet away from him.

Her pupiless-like eyes locking onto him with an intensity that almost felt insane, that however thankfully only lasted for a moment as her eyes seemed to calm down somewhat after they roamed over his body quickly for any injuries that were showing or that Alan could be hiding, after finding none. She turned her gaze towards the room, it was at that point that her eyes slightly widened once more as she took in the devastation that had occurred around here.

For a bit, she hadn't, she had been to focused on checking on Alan to even care what happened to his room or his possession, however now that she had atleast determined that he wasn't injured or atleast wasn't injured to the point where it showed, she had the time to check on the room, on the ripped clothes in the middle of it, on the broken furniture, on the complete and absolute mess that had become of Alan's apartment, the apartment where he had spent so many long years, trying his best to maintain it as well as he could, however now, all those efforts at preservation had completely gone down the drain.

Finally after what felt like ages, Alice Cullen spoke for the first time since she had come inside.


"It… looks like a real mess inside here… is this even… a liveable enough apartment now?" Alice muttered softly, her voice gentle yet despite the gentleness and softness that was used, Alan felt his jaw clench whilst his eyebrows twitched.

"What do you mean is it even liveable? Ofcourse it is. It is… okay fine, it isn't perfect but who cares about a bedframe, I can just use… what remains of the mattress and who cares about clothes, I got a good enough body that people wont think is weird… probably, hopefully." Alan says in turn, however each reply he gives, he simply falls deeper and deeper into his own well dug grave, he couldn't truly protect his rooms reputation much when it was currently in what could only be called Absolute shambles.

"Look… just… I need a bit of help with cleaning the bad stuff thats been broken around the room and then besides that, I would really appreciate it if you could tell me if you have any way to find this damned person who did this. The cultprit must be absolute evil, I swear." Alan replied as he releaased a long winded sigh, his upper body lifting up as he took as deep of a breath as he could before slowly releasing it up, calming his nerves as much as he could before his jaw unclenched and his eyebrows stopped twitching, finally since he had come into this room and since Alice had come whilst feeling like she was the devil itself. Alan Walker was once more calm however that didn't mean that he wasn't thirsty…. Thirsty for revenge.

"No, there is no way that im going to allow you to do that." Alice replied as she turned her gaze towards him once more, looking away from the mess that was currently Alan's apartment room, her pitch black eyes had narrowed as she looked Alan directly into the eyes, it was clear that she wasn't going to be taking her excuse that he was fine at all, infact It was quite clear that she would not be taking any other answer besides the one she wanted.

"You aren't… going to allow that? And what am I going to do then?" Alan asked as he lifted an eyebrow however he had already realized what was happening and that there was no way in hell he was going to be escaping the predicament that he truly hadn't wanted.

'Damned it… I completely forgot to think about this as a possible outcome when I called Alice… and now…' Alan thought inwardly to himself, he felt like hitting himself in the head however the more he thought about it at the moment, the more he realized, there really wasn't any other way for him to figure out who his attacker had been meanwhile Alice had already seemed to have an inkling of doubt about who it could have been.

"What are you going to do? You're simply going to come with me and live at my place until we can figure something else out of course." Alice replied without missing a single beat as she nodded her head, to her it was clear as day what should be done, and thus Alan's thought was confirmed almost as instantly as he had it inside of his mind.

"At your place? You're saying that as if it's normal. You have to ask your parents first, your family. I don't want to be a bother and look, it really isn't that bad. I can like make up something on the floor and sleep until I figure shit out and all." Alan replied almost just as quickly as she had, he truly desperately wanted to not head into the Cullen home and live there for whoever knows how long.

'It would make entering the system dungeons… a really really large hassle, and then theres the issue about the death penalty if they somehow found out which would be a lot easier for them to when im living inside of their damn house.' Alan thought to himself as he felt a headache slowly start coming, his head slowly starting to pound as he released a deep long winded sigh.

"My parents? You mean Carlisle and Esme? They wouldn't say anything, infact they would be glad to meet my friend, they would infact be mad if I didn't take you and give you hospitality when this just happened to you. The fact that you called me first… it really means a lot to me, as a friend." Alice said as she looked at him, her gaze had yet to leave his eyes, just as he had assumed, there was no winning this argument, he had done it because he had needed to and there would be cons either way if he hadn't called her and if he called her and he had simply chosen the lesser one.

Looking at her for a moment in complete and utter silence, Alan nodded his head finally as he looked away from her piercing gaze and towards the window.

"Alright, I'll come, this is just… a lot to taken in for one day. I come to school and you say that I smell like wet dog, which wasn't nice by the way. And then I come back home and my home is broken and now I have to come to your house, which is going to be such an awkward situation. Do you even have an extra room available for me?" Alan asked slowly as he released another last sigh at the end of his speech as he finally stopped shaking his head slowly at the situation.

"Another room? Why would we need that? You can just sleep with me in my room, we can like do full on sleepovers and have so much fun talking and everything all night!" Alice replied almost as soon as he finished talking himself.

Her words stopped him for a moment as slowly stiffly turned his head until he was facing her, his eyes widening slightly at what she had just suggested.

'Is… she right in the head? Like hell I'll do that. Sleep in the same damn room as a vampire. No, that isn't even that hard part about that arrangement, it's the fact that, I'll have to tell her god damned dad or father or whatever vampires have, that I'm going to sleep… in the same damn room as his daughter, inside his own house. Oh hell no.' Alan thought to himself, the mere thought of it slowly sending shivers down his spine as his imagination, a fearsome enemy of his as always reared its head with all the different ways, very…. Extremely gory was about how exactly he could be decapitated, gutted, hooked like a fish and left to dry on the sun outside wherever the hell her house was.

"I… I don't think that's something I'm comfterable with Alice. You know… you're a girl and all that." Alan said slowly as he instantly switched tactics from straight refusal to something else.

'Play the shy boy card, play the damn shy boy card.' Alan thought as he tried to make himself look as pitifully shy as he could, his expression thankfully seemed to switch almost perfectly, even a slightly rose blush appearing on his face almost as if on command. Something that he didn't realise yet he was even capable of doing.

Alice stopped for a moment as she had been raising her hand towards his shoulder, her arm freezing as her pupils widened as she looked at the scene before her before she slowly retracted her hand, a small smile appearing on her face as she slowly shook her head, the pitch black pupils slowly regaining their amber coloring once more.

Chapter 105 New
"Alright…" Alice said softly, finally, after a couple seconds of pure silence that was more awkward than a lot of situations Alan had been in before.

"Alright? So… I'll stay… here?" Alan said slowly softly, trying to see if he had just accidentally done the best possible action and received the best possible outcome.

Alice shook her head before she released a soft chuckle and slapped his back lightly with her hand, the color in the eyes had almost fully reverted back to its original amber state.

"No, of course not dummy, You're still going to come with me just that I'll find you a room in the house, we got quite a few of them that are free and that no one is using in any way.

So you'll be fine. Still we are so totally going to do that overnight sleepover idea thing now that you're staying at my place for a while." Alice replied with a light airy giggle as she took his hand and practically started dragging him towards the front door of his apartment room.

"Hey… hey! Wait, you havn't even told your father anything!" Alan said as he raised his voice in shock as he was slowly but surely dragged towards the front door, there was nothing he could do, Alice's grip appeared light and didn't harm him in any way, however at the same time it was just as unbreakable as any of the hardest rocks on the world.

'Damned, stop, stop! I am not ready yet.' Alan thought inwardly to himself as he tried to shake her off lightly however there was no stopping an Alice who had clearly already hit her excitement era about him living inside of her mansion. It almost seemed like she had completely forgotten what had just happened to Alan simply for the fact that he would now be living with her for the foreseeable future.

"Ah! It doesn't mantter, he'll say yes anyways and we have a lot of room so its not like we would need to prepare just to have one more person living with us." Alice replied as she giggled that same airy damn giggle that Alan usually found quite adorable but was now slowly becoming the bane of his existence.


'I liked it when that giggle was directed towards others, not when it feels like she's calling me a dummy whilst pulling me towards a god damned vampire coven.' Alan thought to himself, still he knew deep down that he had to get serious now better than later.


As soon as that final thought passed through his mind, the fear and anxiety that he had been feeling over the situation, didn't disappear however they were instantly compartamentalized and swiftly turned and boxed away into the recesses of his mind where they wouldn't be a problem until a later date. His expression of shock and emberrasment slowly fading as he focused on the situation at hand.

'Alright, I'm going with Alice Cullen to her house where the rest of the Cullens and the two Hales live. It is likely that Carlisle as she said will not have… no I can't say that for sure, I don't really have much if at all experience with Carlisle. If I'm being honest than the only Cullen that I truly know is Alice. The rest besides Rosalie Hale who used to glare at me like she wanted to kill me are almost a complete unknown. So what do I do? Stick to Alice almost at a all times, hope to god that she doesn't intend to kill me and if worst comes to worst and I feel even the slightlest inkling that something is wrong… I slowly tell them that I'm going to the bathroom or something like that, a momentary excuse and then I simply teleport to the dungeon.' Alan thought to himself as quickly as he could, trying to form a plan that would allow him to atleast have some kind of idea on what to do.

He didn't know the Cullens well and so he didn't make a detailed plan, he had simply one rule that he would be keeping in mind at the moment and that was that if something smelled wrong, if something felt wrong, he left, without hesitating even for a single second, he would have to consider his time at the Cullen's, the same way as he considered his time inside of the Slime Alleys in the Slime System Dungeon.

All of these thoughts happened quickly, much more quickly than any human thought had any right to be at, they happened in the span of barely three seconds, by the time, Alice had dragged him over his apartment door step, he had already thought of everything.

Looking down, Alice quickly started dragging him down the emergency stairs of his aparmtnet until they reached the base floor and she practically slammed the front door of the apartment building open with so much strength that Alan felt like she would tear the metallic door straight out of its hinges.

'That thing weighs atleast…. Haah… vampires shit huh.' Alan thought for a moment as his eyes went to the door before he had to return his focuse infront of him once more as Alice pulled him towards the yellow Porsche that was parked right infront of his apartment building.

Taking out her key, Alice pressed the button on it and the Porsche lights lit up almost instantly as the car was unlocked.

"Head in." Alice said simply as she finally let go of his hand and walked to the other side of the car to get on the driver seat.

Looking down at the car before him, Alan felt… slight amusement, if this had been him of merely two weeks ago? He would have been quite excited to get into a Porsche, it wasn't that he wasn't excited now, but the difference between the him of back then and the him of now… was simply too major.

'I… I've really changed huh.'

Chapter 106 New
'I've really changed huh…' Alan thought to himself as he slowly opened the passenger side of the car door open and lowered himself as he got seated inside the sports car.

Looking around at the interior, he once more felt the complete and utter disparity between what he was, how he lived and what Alice was and how she lived.

'Immortal damn rich vampires, does she have some kind of castle in Transylvania too or something?' Alan thought to himself amusedly as he took the seatbelt and secured himself in before turning to face Alice, who had stopped once she had sat down and had an expression that Alan desperately did not want to see on her face.

Her small smile was slowly widening into one that could only be called the peak of mischievousness.

Slowly, he opened his mouth as he was gazing at her, now wide toothy smile.

"Alice… why are you smiling like that." Alan asked slowly, his voice tense despite the fact that even now it was slightly tinged with confusion, had it been any other supernatural creature besides Alice, Alan would have already jumped out of the car and summoned his spear and thrust it towards its head, however for some reason, the more time he spent with Alice Cullen… the more he trusted her instinctively, it was a sensation that he was still trying to pinpoint the reason behind however he had yet to find anything that would give him a satisfying enough answer.

"Why am I smiling like what? I'm just happy that you're coming with me… to my house… whilst I…. will be driving." Alice said, her voice sounded teasing and it was clear that she was about to do something as soon as he saw her lean further up in the car seat, closer to the steering wheel and then turn on the key ignition.

'Ah… It won't be that bad. I thought she had something else in mind.' Alan thought as he slowly realized she would simply be doing a bit of speeding, nothing to insane, and so with those damning thoughts in mind, he leaned back into his passanger side seat and put his head back against the headrest.

It was merely a moment later however that he soon realized that it would not be something as easy as that especially when dealing with someone like Alice who clearly and most definetly was not human, to her something mischevious wasn't simply speeding like a regular human on the street, no it was slamming down onto the gas pedal until it hit the bottom and it couldn't go any more and then never lifting her foot off of the gas pedal ever again until they reached their destination.

As soon as she slammed her foot onto the gas pedal, the car lurched forward at frankly frightening speeds as Alan felt his head slam back against the headrest harder than he had ever had it slam even when he had been with friends or in a speeding car.

His vision that had improved beyond any human limits, wasn't doing him any favors at the moment, no in fact it was simply making things far worse, there was no blur of sight, nothing like that all all, he could see each and every single corner and tree and everything they were barely missing, he could see exactly how close to his death he was with each and every second.

"ALICE!" Alan shouted a his entired body swung towards the driver side of the car after a particularly nasty corner that Alice had somehow managed to take at maximum speed on the Porsche.

"What is it!" Alice replied as she laughed out loud, her eyes seemed to be twinkingly with light a complete opposite to Alan's whose eyes had widened with what could only be called surprise and a good dose of fear.

'I do not want to die like this you crazy bitch! If we crash, you survive, I get turned into damned meat paste. No, no way. I survived everything, I survived getting a system, going into a dungeon, defeating monstrous slimes, defeating damned Johana and this is how I'm going to die.' Alan thought to himself, he almost felt like crying right there and then, and yet he knew that there was nothing he could do to stop the madwoman that was currently sitting besides him whilst she laughed her ass off and drove them towards the Cullen Mansion.

'I don't care… I am telling her parent that he should educate this child of his more.' Alan thought as he slowly lifted his hand and grabbed the handle that was on the door and then onto the middle parting between the two seats with his other hand and held on for what felt like dear life and it wasn't just feeling, it was quite exactly that.

'You have super senses, you have all of that for sure Alice, but the car doesn't have super natural handling damned it, what if something unexpected shows up on the road, what if some rock is on there and you can't avoid it even if you do see it, what then? I just die.' Alan thought to himself as his hands that were holding onto the car shook slightly. It was at that moment that Alice turned her head towards him, whilst still driving at frankly insane speeds and giggled.

"STOP GIGGLING AND LOOK AT THE ROAD!" Alan shouted almost instantly right back in her face as soon as she had turned to face towards him, feeling like his life was finally starting to flash before his eyes.

'I can see it, I can see my parents waving at me from the other side of the river.' Alan thought to himself in despair.

Chapter 107 New
Thankfully the rest of the drive towards the Cullen mansion didn't take long at all or it could be called unfortunately considering the reason for it being so quick was Alan feeling like he was going to die during the entire drive towards the destination.



The large woodland mansion of the Cullens rolled into sight after a corner that Alice took just as harshly before she slammed on the breaks and the porsche swerved left and right for a moment, seemingly about to lose control before she took it under control once more and drifted it slightly to the side causing the car wheels to make a loud screeching noise on the drivethrough before the porsche came to a stop right before the entrance, stopping right before it would hit anything.



Alan who was seated on the passenger side of the car had his hand firmly placed onto the sides, where he had been holding on for dear life through the entire journey there, as soon as the car stopped, he took a deep breath before slamming his door open and practically jumping out of the car.



"I am, never and i mean it, ever, letting you drive me somewhere again Alice. No, no thanks." He said with a tone of utter seriousness that he tried to convey as clearly as he possibly could, he meant every single word.



'There is no way in hell, that that drive was scarier than the damned humanoid slimes ever managed to be.' Alan thought to himself as he felt a slight shiver run through his back as the memory of certain moments during the drive resourfaced in his mind once more.



Alice simply looked at him from her spot where she was still seated on the driver side of the car before she started outright laughing, to his face, without a drop of shame or embarrassment on her face.



"Awh come on, It was fun, you have to agree that it was fun right Alan? Come on, don't be such a wuss. You're not a wuss are you?" Alice asked, her voice light and teasing as she still had her arms lazily on the steering wheel as she looked up towards Alan who was standing right next to the porsche still.



"Wuss? I am not a wuss, I just have brain cells that are still working inside of my brain unlike a certain someone." Alan replied almost instantly as he shook his head.



"Are you saying that I'm a dumbass? Wow, and here I thought you were good with women." Alice replied with a giggle, her eyes seeming to sparkle.



"I am, I think, maybe, either way that doesn't matter at all and yes, I am calling you brainless, we can ask your father or mother, I'm sure they would agree in a heartbeat if they saw what you just put me through." Alan replied as he released a long winded sigh, shaking his head slowly as he turned to face the mansion.



"Pulling the parent card now? That's just cheating and you know it." Alice said as she turned and got out of the car, opening her door before stepping out of the car and walking to stand next to Alan before similarly to him turning his gaze towards the entrance of the Cullen mansion.



"I'm sure they already know something is up though, that loud screeching tire entrance didn't do you any real favours." Alan muttered almost to himself, yet he knew that she could hear him clearly.



"Right, yeah, I'll just tell them that I let you drive the car here." Alice replied as soon as Alan finished his soft mutter, her smily slowly widening until she was practically doing a toothy grin towards him.



Alan slowly clenched his fists as he released yet another sigh of pure exhaustion.



'Why do I have to deal with this bullshit right after my apartment was just broken into.' He thought to himself, feeling more tired than he had in a while before he shook his head as that thought entered his mind.



'No, I've definitely been more tired than this recently, I keep almost forgetting just exactly what I've been doing these past weeks.' Alan thought and it was at that moment as that thought was passing through his mind that the front door, up the front staircase that was before the two of them opened and out came a woman with long dark brown hair and a heartshaped face with warm amber eyes.



"Ah, Alan? You must be Alan right? Alice's friend?" The woman asked as her entire face seemed to light up at the sight of him, giving her an even softer look and feel than before as she slowly descended down the short staircase and arrived to stand before Alan for a moment before she leaned in and gave him a hug.



Leaning into it and reciprocating the endearing motion for a moment and then backing away, Alan took another closer look at the woman.



She appeared to be in her early thirties at most and was just like the rest of the Cullens that he had seen, undoubtably beautiful, unlike Alice who had a younger kind of beauty or Rosalie who was like some kind of scandinavian supermodel, this woman instead had a sort of warm beauty, like a mother of sorts.



"Ah yes, I'm Alan, Alan Walker, a friend of Alices. Recent friend, but uh yeah. And you are ma'am?" Alan asked as he gave a nod, replying to her earlier question as he looked towards her with curiosity clearly showing in his eyes.



The woman's smile widened just slightly, as her eyes seemed to sparkle in delight before she gave a nod of her head.

Chapter 108 New
"I'm Esme Cullen, Alice's mom. And recent friend or old friend, its still a friend no? I wasn't expecting a visit but it's great to have you here Alan, Alice hasn't really brought any friends home before." Esme said as her eyes roamed over Alan, his features were almost as striking as her own and her families, it was clear that everyone standing here at the stairs was… different than a regular person. In human terms, Alan himself and the two vampires looked closer to movie characters than actual people, something that Alan still hadn't completely realised himself.



"Uh yeah." Alan replied to her almost awkwardly as he gave a nod of his head, he wasn't sure what to say or talk to her about and so he decided almost instantaneously that the best course of action would be to simply stay silent and let the woman lead the conversation.



"Allright then, let's get inside, it's impolite to leave the guests standing outside for this long. Follow along Alan. We can talk more inside." Esme said with that soft almost motherly tone of hers as she gave one final smile towards Alan before she turned and started heading up the small staircase and towards the front door of the mansion.



Alice didn't hesitate even slightly as she instantly started following her adoptive mother, however a mere few steps later, she stopped for a moment as she turned her head back towards Alan who had yet to take a single step.



"What are you waiting for slowpoke? You want me to carry you too? Are you still… too scared to walk?" Alice asked teasingly as her expression swiftly changed into a teasing smirk that was practically goading Alan.



'That… annoying face.' Alan thought to himself, however with or without him truly noticing it, Alice had managed to do what she had been trying to since they had left Alan's apartment.



She had been trying to get his mind off of what had happened and towards something more light hearted, even if that light hearted emotion was annoyance instead of the revenged fueled anger that Alan had been feeling before.



Walking behind the two woman, Alan kept looking around as he took in the sights, there was a terrace around the staircase that went on one side and on the other side, the garage that held multiple cars stood, each car was practically brand new, a complete difference from the cars that one would usually see being driven about around Forks.



On the terrace on the other side of the staircase, there was a frankly almost uncountable number of flowers inside of large pots, each and every single one of them looked to be placed perfectly so that they wouldn't be cluttered and create a mess but would rather enhance the overall aesthetic of the woodland mansion. The flowers besides the seemingly perfect placing were also perfectly healthy.



'I don't know if i've ever seen flowers like this before if I'm being honest.' Alan thought to himself before he shook his head as he regathered his scattered thoughts once more and finally walked inside of the building together with the two other women.



Entering inside, Alan first arrived at a small hallway, at the sides of which were two long drawers with countless shoes perfectly lined up on each row and side.



'That's… a lot.' He thought to himself as he kept following the two women further inside of the mansion.



The deeper he walked inside, the crazier the home became, it wasn't just the countless shoes, it was the fact that every single part of the building seemed to have been meticulously and perfectly planned ahead of time for the best and most aesthetically pleasing combination possible.



That however was just one of the shocks, the other was the large canvas paintings that lined on the walls, they weren't the classical paintings that he had seen in books or thought that rich folks liked, instead they were more modern, some of them being abstract or created with a more interesting art style than ones that he would usually find in picture books or in tv shows.



"The paintings… look pretty good." Alan said softly as he followed Alice and Esme Cullen.



"Oh, thank you, I worked on most of them, besides a select few that I just bought from my favourite artists." Alice replied, her voice light.



"You worked on them? You can paint?" Alan asked as his eyes widened slightly, that hadn't been something he was expecting, especially not from someone like Alice.



'Someone like her… that clearly has some kind of hyperactivity thing going on, actually sat down for hours and worked on a painting?' Alan thought to himself in complete disbelief, he couldn't even imagine it, no matter how much he tried, the image of Alice sitting in the same spot for hours simply didn't compute inside of his brain, it was something that he would have never believed if it wasn't for the fact that Esme who was walking just slightly ahead of Alice nodded her head.



'I guess… she is multi-facated? Don't judge a book by its cover and all that. Guess it's true.' Alan thought as he lightly shook his head.



It was at that moment that the three of them finally arrived, the hall ended and the room expanded into a large living room with an open kitchen at the far side of it and there they were.



Seated around the large leather couches. The rest of the Cullen Coven.

Here's the chapter of the day.

Chapter 109 New
Seated around the white leather couches in the living room of the mansion were the rest of the Cullen Coven.



Esme walked towards them and then swiftly stopped as soon as she reached Carlisle Cullen who was seated on the right side of the living room.



Opposite to the two of them were Rosalie Hale, Jasper Hale and Emmet Cullen whilst Edward was seated on a single person couch next to the three seater where they were.



Alan took a gulp as his hands tightened for a moment, his heartrate increasing just barely for a brief second before it returned back to normal and then he gathered his breath before slowly raising his hand in a small wave.



"Hi there, I uh, It's a pleasure to meet you all more formally? Though I uh have seen most of you in school before, sorry for the interruption." Alan said softly almost awkwardly as he tried to maintain as steady of a tone as he could, something that wasn't qutie so easy especially when he considered the fact that he was currently standing infront of an entire coven of vampires, even if they hadn't ever done anything against him, it wasn't exactly the ideal situation that he wanted to be in.



Alice who had remained by his side, merely two feet away from him gave a nod towards the rest of the Cullens and it was at that moment that Carlisle Cullen slowly stood up.



His expression changing to a soft welcoming warm smile as he walked towards Alan and lifted his arm, offering his hand for a handshake towards him.



Alan hesitated merely for a fraction of a moment before he moved his own arm and grabbed his hand, shaking it as firmly as he could.



"Carlisle Cullen, Alice has talked quite a bit about you Alan, It's a pleasure to finally meet you aswell, someone that my daughter's been talking about so much." Carlisle spoke, similarly to his expression, his voice was calming and almost soft, it wasn't light, it was a deeper voice than Alan had expected to come out of the man however it was still undoubtably meant to calm him instead of anything else.



"She did? I hope she didn't say anything embarrassing." Alan replied as he released a soft chuckle, though it almost sounded forced especially in this enviorment where the rest of the Cullens hadn't even bothered to stand up.



It was at that moment as the silence started extending however that Emmet Cullen and Jasper Hale stood up aswell and walked closer, Emmet's expression had changed from what could be called a poker face of sorts into what was a wide toothy grin whilst Jasper's own expression hadn't changed much, merely becoming slightly softer, and perhaps less forced than the poker face that he had on his face when Alan had first walked into the room.



"Alan huh? Alice really wouldn't shut up about you. Talking all about Alan did this or Alan said that, it was quite annoying yknow? But yeah man, nice too meet you too." Emmet said in a friendly voice though it was a voice that was unnecessarily too loud for the almost eerily quiet mansion living room that they were currently in.



He lifted his hand and slapped Alans right shoulder with enough force that it shook his entire body yet didn't cause any real harm to him, it was clear that it was just a shoulder pat and nothing more, the fact that his entire body was shaken was simply because of how Emmet was.



Jasper meanwhile who had remained silent for a moment extended his hand for a handshake towards Alan who swiftly took his hand aswell and shook it.

"Yes, It's nice to see you aswell Alan, I did see you sometimes around the highschool." Jasper muttered in a low voice that clearly held a southern accent to it that was unmistakable.



Alan gave a nod towards both of them as a small awkward smile appeared on his face.

"Right, well uh It's not like I was actually planning to show up here tonight but well, something kind of happened and Alice thought that the best option possible was draggin me here. I'd appreciate it if she helped me explain instead of just standing there grinning at my awkwardness however." Alan said as he first talked towards Carlisle, Emmet and Jasper before he turned his head towards Alice as he spoke his last words, his annoyance clearly showing through slightly at the end as his left eyebrow slightly twitched and his eyes narrowed almost imperceptibly.



Alice raised her hands in what could only be called a motion of defeat however her expression showed that she clearly wasn't sorry at all and was infact enjoying, quite a lot, just exactly how awkwardly Alan was standing there infront of her family.


That however lasted only for a brief moment as the rest of his words registered and the moment shattered, the memory of his apartment and the reason as to why he was actually here came up again.



Alice turned her gaze towards the entire Cullen Coven, her amber coloured eyes quickly starting to dim as the amber glow swiftly retreated back and was replaced by those frightening dark eyes that seemed to stare directly into the soul of whoever peered into them.



"His apartment was destroyed, entire room, his clothes, everything, someone came inside and destroyed everything, He doesn't really have a place anymore and I thought that I could bring him here to live whilst he gets that fixed." Alice said as her eyes narrowed slightly further, her gaze was fixed onto Rosalie and Edward specifically, the two of them were the ones that she was expecting to have the most disagreements about her decision, however this wasn't something that she was willing to back out of.

Chapter 110 New
And just as she had expected, Rosalie stood up on her feet from her seated position on the couch almost instantly, her eyes narrowing and the amber glow similarly fading from her eyes almost instantly, her hands clenching into fists as she stared towards Alice, with what could only be called rage, this wasn't simple anger, it was something more. It was a mirriad of emotions and reasons that caused a complete and utter distaste to the mere idea of Alan living anywhere near close.

"No, you know that we cannot allow that. We can help him with money or help him find another apartment but he is not sleeping here." Rosalie said, her voice was cold as ice and sharp as a blade, offering just as little compromise as Alice's own voice had offered.

And yet, despite clearly looking at eachother like they wanted to rip eachothers throats apart, neither of the two women moved even an inch.

The silence descending around the living room of the mansion.

'They're not moving because I'm here. They still have some rationality to them it seems even if they are… quite…. Emotional about this. What I truly don't understand is why Alice is willing to go this far for me. To even fight with her family on this point so hard… just why would she do this for a 'human' kid that she just met less than a month ago.' Alan thought to himself, the question itself had been doing its rounds around his mind for a while now, and it almost came back every time that he had any interaction with the small pixie like woman, it was completely confusing to him and it didn't have any sort of explanation that he could find.

It was at that moment that Alice turned towards Alan, her gaze still that black abyss like stare that offered no compromise and when she spoke, her voice wasn't gentle, it wasn't asking or requesting him, it was an order.

"Alan, head up those stairs on the left, the last door on the left hall when you reach the top. Go inside, I'll deal with this and be there in a few minutes." Alice said, her voice commanding and colder than Alan had ever heard it atleast when she had been talking towards him.

Alan looked towards her as his eyes widened slightly and then his eyes moved towards the rest of the Cullen's, the entire situation was awkward, what was he supposed to do? Listen to Alice and ignore the rest of the Cullens, especially Carlisle Cullen and head up the stairs in a house that wasn't even his? Just how much control did Alice even have in this place, there were a lot of questions and thus he couldn't even move as he just stood there in silence.

"You can go Alan, we can talk together later and I'm sure Esme can make you some food aswell, we just have to talk a bit with Alice and Rosalie, I'm sorry that you had to see this." Carlisle finally spoke once more as he turned his gaze back from the two vampire woman that looked ready to kill eachother and back onto Alan once more, his eyes just as soft as before and the amber colour only making them appear even warmer than they would have.

Alan didn't hesitate even for a moment, he really didn't want to be in the situation that he was currently in and thus without a moment to waste, he turned towards the left and headed up the stairs as quietly and as swiftly as he could. His figure vanishing up the stairs and onto the second floor in mere seconds.

Arriving at the second floor of the Cullen Mansion, Alan looked around, his gaze catching on the dozen or so paintings and pictures lined up on the halls.

There were three hallways around him, one that went directly from the front of the stairs, another that went to the right and another that went to the left.

Remembering Alice's command, Alan turned towards the left and started walking down the hall, his eyes focused onto the pictures and paintings.

Most of the paintings were either still nature or abstract arts of sorts and thus he didn't truly pay them any real mind and instead his eyes were caught onto the pictures. There were less pictures than there were paintings however most of them were in black and white, and only showed the Cullen family. To someone from the outside it may have appeared… like they were just pictures of the ancestors of the family, perhaps the grandparents and the great grandparents and some of the more distant family, however Alan knew better.

The quality of the pictures themselves wasn't great and some of them were quite blurry however if one knew what the Cullens truly were, they would realise it instantly.

The people in the black and white pictures were none other than the present Cullens themselves. In some of the older pictures, only photos of Carlisle, Edward and Esme showed, whilst a bit later, Rosalie, Emmet and Alice started getting shown and finally on some of the newest ones, Jasper Hale had also started showing up.

'So… I'm guessing thats the order in how they joined the coven thing?' Alan thought to himself and before he realised it, he had to stop, he had arrived at the last door on the hallway, his destination.

Chapter 111 New
Arriving at the last door in the hallway, Alan slowly lifted his hand and grabbed the door handle before slowly pulling it down and opening the door.



Taking a step into the room, his eyes were instantly filled with the sight of tens if not more paintings and drawings, ranging from oil paintings, to acrylics to black and white pencil and charcoal sketches. Each of them done with an insane attention to detail and a level of skill that far surpassed anything Alan had seen in real life.



The room wasn't small, infact it was about as big as his entire apartment had been. A large window with a balcony on the left side of the room, a king sized bed in the middle and the dozens of painting on the right aswell as another door which was slightly ajar, letting Alan look into what was the biggest walk in closet that he had ever seen in his life or even in the small amount of movies that he had seen in his lifetime.



'What… just how rich are these guys?' Alan thought to himself in pure shock, almost being instantly engulfed by a sense of envy before he stopped himself as he shook his head and walked towards the bed before sitting down at the foot of it.



Looking more closely at the paintings on the right side of the room, Alan quickly noticed… a pattern that he hadn't really wanted to notice however it was really apparent.



The paintings were all of Alice herself… though they showed different versions of her, ones with longer hair or ones that looked like a younger or older version of the current Alice, yet they all had one disturbing similarity.



The scenes that the Alice's were portrayed in were almost always bloody scenes of massacre or carnage. The backgrounds of the paintings involving themes of death, be it corpses, bloody roses or some of them even having small maggots crawling up alices face.



Alan's eyebrows slowly rose up as the more he looked, the more his shock increased, until his eyes finally landed on a painting that was almost all the way to the back, as if it had been hidden though it likely wasnt, it was likely just one of the oldest paintings that were here and had thus been hidden as more and more were created after it had.



The painting was simple in a way and yet still uttery disturbing. It showed Alice, her current verision, an exact replica of how she looked with the exception of her hair which wasn't a small pixie cut but was rather a complete buzz cut.



The Alice in the painting was in the middle of what looked like small white room, with decaying old walls and only a single door. At the door stood a single nurse, who appeared to be standing and yet at the same time, looked like she was a zombie, rotting on her feet.



That wasn't what had disturbed Alan however, it was what the Alice in the painting was doing, she was crouched down on the floor and was eating what looked like a disgusting maggot and flee infested mangled body whilst smiling, a wide grinning smile as blood and guts spewed through claw like fingers. Looking like she was having the best time of her life.



A shiver slowly spread through Alan's body, starting from the base of his spine and reaching all around his entire body.



'Alice… what the fuck… as soon as i start feeling better around her, as soon as i start feeling safer around her… I see something like this.' Alan thought to himself as his attention instantly was drawn back to the entrance of the room, his hands slowly clenching and unclenching at his sides as he became rigid, his body entering a state of combat readiness almost instantly.



He had almost forgotten in a way, what exactly the Cullens were, that despite how they had protected a human, how despite the fact that they had, or atleast Alice had only ever been kind and nice towards him. They were still vampires. And Vampires in Alan's book were most definitely monsters who preyed on humans.



It was at that moment as these thoughts were coursing through his mind that the door opened, causing him to flinch as his arms raised up instinctively before his torso for a moment before he slowly willed them back down so that he was gripping the sheets of the bed under him.



Alice had come inside the room, her face had a smile as she looked at him before she stopped as she saw him and then her gaze moved towards the right… where all the paintings were and then slowly returned back towards him and then back to the paintings.



Rotating between him on the bed and the paintings to his right for what felt like a dozen times as her body seemed to become more rigid than before and her smile having frozen on her face.



After a few moments, she finally released a long winded sigh as she walked closer to the bed and sat about as far as she could from him whilst still on the bed and then proceeded to put her elbows on her knees and look down at the ground, not speaking a word for a while.



"So…. you going to explain those?" Alan asked slowly, his voice still sounding as calm as ever for anyone who might have heard it, anyone that wasn't Alice that is. Anyone that was Alice who had been almost completely obsessed with him since her eyes had landed on him.



"Yeah… I guess I have to now. I didn't really want to have this conversation… and I didn't want you to see those either." Alice replied softly after a moment of silence that felt longer than it had any right to be.

Chapter 112 New
"Yeah… I guess I have to now. I didn't really want to have this conversation… and I didn't want you to see those either." Alice replied softly after a moment of silence that felt longer than it had any right to be.

"Yeah… I'd appreciate knowing why you have those… uh cool paintings just a bit.. Weird don't you think?" Alan asked as he turned his head slightly to gaze at that one particular painting once more before turning his head to gaze back towards Alice once more.

The woman before him looked different than usual, maybe it was because of how much had happened today, neither of them were exactly in the right state of mind, neither Alan and neither Alice. One had just had his house completely ruined and then had to come live with literal vampires and then proceeded to find paintings of the person he had slowly started to trust literally eating people.

Whilst the other had just had to fight her family to keep said person that had lost his home here, had to fight the people who were her family and loved her so that she could keep the one she wanted safe and sound.

"Should we stop pretending Alan?" Alice asked softly, her voice more gentle than Alan had ever heard it before, it was barely a whisper and Alan doubted that he would have even heard it if he had been fully human as he had been.

"Stop… pretending?" Alan asked softly, equally as soft as Alice had been just now, though it was more that he was shocked she wasn't trying to make an excuse rather than the fact that he wanted to reply to her gently.

His thoughts were in complete and utter disarray, he hadn't expected that today would be the day that the masks would be finally falling down, though he had known that the mask and cover wouldn't be kept for much longer, a lot of stuff had already happened and his own actions hadn't exactly been hidden perfectly and neither had the actions of Edward Cullen who had straight up simply ousted himself in front of everyone simply to save a single human girl from her death.

'What… what do I do? No matter what, I must keep the system a secret, I just have to tell her that I awakened my powers slowly and normally, I dont have to mention the system in any way at all, so thats fine. It's not that hard, just make up a lie about not knowing, the less information that i give, the more i pretend that I dont actually know anything about my powers, the easier the lie will be to believe, I dont have to form some kind of complicated lie. I can simply tell her that I don't know whats going on with me at all, and in a way… it wouldn't even be a complete lie. I don't really know what the system really even is in the first place.' Alan thought to himself, his thoughts moving at speeds faster than they ever had before as he found a way to get out of his situation without having to face the death penalty that the system had enforced upon him.

"Yeah Alan… we both know that things aren't really exactly… normal don't we? You have your own secrets and I have mine, and I… you don't need to tell me yours, that's okay though I would appreciate it if you did. But… I can't really hide my own secrets after this or you could just y'know pretend that you saw nothing?" Alice said softly, as she turned her body fully so that she was facing Alan completely as she looked towards him, her eyes were a light amber colour, nowhere near dark, for a second it almost looked like they were glistening with tears though a split second later, they appeared completely normal once more.

Alice's own mind was filled with dozens of thoughts, thoughts that were entangled with fear, fear that the one person she wanted to keep safe, the one person that she wanted to keep close to herself would reject her being, would reject what she was and most of all… that he would be afraid of her. And that last thought, it was the most prevalent one, in her mind… there really was no other way that this could end, afterall she knew what she was. She knew what her kind were known for.

"I… I don't know exactly about myself, but I can tell you what I know, as little as I do, if you want to share your own first." Alan replied, as he shook his head before releasing a slow long winded sigh that carried through both his exhaustion of the situations that had happened today aswell as the exhaustion of the secret that he had been unable to share with anyone, even now he wouldn't be able to tell everything but still… he could tell a part of it and hope that the system wouldnt penalise him for it.

Alice sat silent for a moment, her gaze fixed onto his own eyes and after a long moment, that felt longer than it had any right to be, her lips finally parted as she spoke once again.

"I'm a vampire." Alice said simply, with a voice so soft that it was practically a whisper, and yet the way she said it clearly carried through the meaning that this was not a joke, that this wasn't something she was making up. She said it simply, as a fact, because that was what it was. A fact, a secret spoken aloud to the one person she was most afraid of hearing it.

Chapter 113 New
"I'm a vampire"



The words resonated inside of Alan's mind, he had known, he had known and yet hearing it directly coming out of her mouth in such a blunt statement still did its rounds on his thoughts, he hadn't expected it to be stated so simply, so factually.



'I thought… I thought that she would atleast talk around it for a moment… not just say it but at the end of the day, the way how she says it doesn't matter, there really is no need to beat around the bush anymore is there.' Alan thought to himself for a brief moment before his outward expression finally changed, turning into something more serious than it had been before as he slowly lowered his head and nodded towards her.



"I see… That… that's certainly something, I don't really know how to respond to that." Alan said towards her, his voice slightly awkward, he truly had no idea on how to follow up on such a statement.



Alice remained still for a moment before her eyes slowly widened slightly as she gazed at Alan who was seated before her on the bed, so close to her that she could hear his heart, it was beating fast, faster than normal and yet it wasn't the frantic beating that she had expected to hear from someone.



"Do you… not believe me?" She asked slowly, her voice clearly tinged with confusion at his quite lackluster reaction from what she had imagined inside of her mind. She had been thinking about the reveal for a while now, her mind and imagination had blown it higher and higher to the point that she had almost started to believe that as soon as she told the truth to him, he would start screaming, cursing at her or even raising pitchforks, reality however seemed to be much less dramatic in comparison to what her mind had conjured up.



Alan shook his head as he responded in an even tone.



"No, I believe you. As you said, I have my own secrets that are equally as unbelievable." Alan said as he lifted his right arm and brought it up to his neck and rubbed it slowly before looking back towards the paintings and then back towards her once more.


"I guess that explains… the cannibalistic paintings? That… those are quite gruesome to say the least." Alan said slowly, his voice still slightly maintaining that awkwardness however it was quickly disappearing with each word as he regained his bearings once more, much more quickly than any regular human would have whilst sitting on the same bed as a vampire after just discovering her true nature aswell as the fact that she painted about macabre scenes featuring herself eating others.



"That… Yeah. Those… those are paintings of the past… not of the current. I… I don't eat humans anymore, I promise." Alice responded as her voice lowered once more, the slight fear that had been momentarily overlapped by her shock at his reaction swiftly returning once more.

"You don't eat humans? But you're… a vampire?" Alan said in confusion, his tone slightly tinged with disbelief and a good bit of suspicion.



'Don't eat humans? What? Is that even possible?' Alan thought to himself in confusion, he had never heard of vampires that didn't feed on human blood, on every single story that he had ever read or heard about, vampires were creatures of the night that feasted upon humanity. But it was as these thoughts were coursing through his mind that his thoughts wandered back to what he had seen of the cullens.



'Though… they most certainly dont act like vampires in the stories, they go out during the day, though I havn't seen them ever go out into the direct sunlight, its still quite a bit different.' Alan thought before his gaze refocused onto the small pixie like vampire infront of him.



Alice nodded her head as quickly as she could, words spilling out of her mouth almost instantly, almost seemingly frantic in her denial about his assumption.



"No, no we don't. We drink Animal blood, only animals, it's why our eyes are amber and not red, a vampire that feeds on human blood has red eyes. Y'know like the ones in the stories and movies." Alice replied.



"Animal blood? And that works? If that works why dont all vampires just… do that?" Alan muttered out loud in confusion, the question getting out of his mouth before he could stop it, his curiosity, already peaked.



Alice froze for a moment, her body becoming slightly rigid for but a fraction of a second before it relaxed once more as her head turned away, her gaze looking out of the window to the left of the room.



"Because it doesn't work as well. It… doesn't taste the same and the effect isn't the same either. If a vampire drinks human blood, they're satisfied, there's no hunger left after a feeding. Animal blood… never truly removes the hunger, it lowers it, makes it more manageable, but its still there, a burning feeling in your throat, like you're thirsty and no matter how much you drink… it doesn't go away. It's present… almost all of the time." Alice said softly, her voice tinged with an emotion that Alan could only presume was… sadness.



"That, that must suck." Alan mumbled softly as his imagination instantly got to work, his mind putting him in her position almost instantly.



'Being unable to ever be truly fine unless you drink human blood, needing it to live normally… and the alternative is feeling like your dying of thirst all of the time if you dont want to kill someone. What… how hard must a life like that be?' Alan thought to himself, almost shivering at the mere thought of him having to experience anything like that himself.

Chapter 114 New
"It… It does suck… it sucks a lot actually." Alice replied as her tone of voice completely changed for but a moment as she lowered her gaze back towards the ground, her expression had turned even more somber than it had before, it was clearly… not something that she had managed to admit lightly.

The usual Alice was cheery, someone that skipped around and giggled almost at everything whilst smiling at everyone. To admit something like this, it was not something Alice had ever done with many people, with perhaps the only exception being Carlisle Cullen who had helped her since finding her acting like a monster in the forests, decades ago.

"I… I'm not exactly normal either… but I don't… I don't know what I am or what's happening to me." Alan said softly at that moment, his voice tight and small, as he similarly to her wasn't even looking at her as he admitted his own secret.

'Keep it vague… as vague as possible.' Alan thought to himself as his hands that were hidden inbetween his knees slowly clenched into fists that shook just slightly.

"You… don't know?" Alice asked in pure confusion as she gazed towards him, lifting her gaze from the ground, her eyes had widened slightly in confusion as she gazed at him, her eyes swerving over him from top to bottom before landing on his clenched lower lip.

After a few moments of silence, she finally spoke once more as she gave a nod of her head.

"I… believe you aswell. Just… can you explain? Or I guess, we both have explaining to do, don't we?" Alice murmured slowly as she gave another nod, more to herself than it was directed towards him.

"Yeah… I guess we do have quite a bit of explaining to do… do you want me to start first or you?" Alan asked carefully, truth be told, he wanted to go last, he could just end it more quickly and he would make sure that whilst Alice told her story, he could interact with her as much as possible whilst at the same time learning more information on just how much he could exactly trust her and how much of his secret he could potentially reveal.

"Alright, yeah… I'll go first, I don't mind… just give me a moment to gather my thoughts please." Alice replied as she slowly took a deep breath, her chest expanding, she didn't need to, vampires had no need to breathe however it was a motion that she had done so many times before that it had become a sort of calming move for her nerves, something to pull her back and calm and center herself back into the current situation.

The next few seconds were calm… silent, it wasn't an empty silence, it was a silence that was filled with everything that was about to be said, with a sort of tension that wasn't exactly scary anymore, the greatest secrets had already been revealed, now all that was left was the ones that were related to them, that explained them, their pasts and their situations.

"I don't have many memories of my life as a human… right before that, Vampires are immortal but we were never born as vampires, vampire's can't be born, we can only be turned from humans. I was turned a long time ago… but I think i was part of a mental institution before I was turned and my memories as a human are far and few between, I don't truly remember much besides my own name which was Alice. I don't even remember how I ended up in that institution and neither do i remember the reason as to why." Alice said softly, her voice slightly shaking for a moment as her mind wandered back towards the start of what she remembered as her life, to the foggy memories that had never truly returned to her, to memories that were so broken that they were merely fragments.

'She… doesn't remember her human life at all… I guess that would explain why she does act a bit… less human than the rest of the Cullens, she was never truly a human, if she doens't have the memories than she is only trying to pretend to be a human as her act without actually knowing what being one is like whilst the rest of the Cullens most likely still have their memories as humans and thus acting is far less difficult in their positions.' Alan thoughts instantly, whilst his mind had felt bad for her for a brief moment, his curiosity was already far too big to be left stuck on such an emotion as he started theorising about her behaviour patterns aswell as past situations that he had been in with her and then looking at them through an entirely different lens… and in a way it explained a lot.

"So… you don't even remember who your mother or father was? Or your family or anything at all?" Alan asked curiously as he tilted his head slightly to the side as he looked at the vampire sitting before him.

"No, nothing. After I was turned, and I had no memories, for a while I acted like a wild animal, just going through forests, eating anything that came in my way… yes humans. Thats the images that you saw in the paintings, It's not like I even knew what I was doing was wrong in the first place, I had no memories of my humanity and a vampire lacks the well morals that certain humans instinctively have about not harming or eating another human… to vampires all there is… is hunger." Alice said as she released a long winded sigh.

Chapter 115 New
'She… doesn't remember anything at all, what must that feel like? What must knowing nothing feel like? I already… suffer so much from knowing nothing about the system, and thats only a part of my life, a large part of my life now but still… I know who I am, I know what I want, I know what I want to be… she knew none of those… none of them at all.' Alan thought to himself as the emotion of pity remerged once more, it was an emotion that somewhat combined with empathy, he could somewhat understand what she felt like, atleast a part of it, the system had taken over his life one morning and offered practically no answers, it had thrust him into a world that he wasn't ready to enter at all.



But even then… he knew that the comparison wasn't even close, Alice had been thrust into the supernatural world with no memories at all, she had become a monster and had no idea of what she had even been before.



'In a way… maybe that was easier for her. Maybe having her human memories would have actually made it harder for her, by not knowing anything at all about her past and who she had been, she atleast didn't know what she lost though from the look on her face now… it seems like she learned of it. Or maybe she didn't… maybe she's just envious of humans, and truly… who am i to tell her to not be envious, in her position, I would be too.' Alan thought before his outward expression slowly changed into a softer one as he released a soft long winded sigh that matched the one Alice had just released moments ago.



"I'm in a bit of a different position, I just woke up one day, like two weeks ago and suddenly nothing was the same anymore, my entire life was flipped upside down." Alan said softly as he shook his head as his mind wandered back to her… to the one person that he still hated with a dire passion, the person he had to face, his first real challenge and his first time experiencing true loss.



"Just… woke up and changed? What? What do you mean Alan?" Alice asked as her somber tired expression changed almost instantly, her eyes narrowing, not in suspicion, not in aggression… but in concern for the boy that sat before her.



"Exactly what I said. I woke up and suddenly, I was changing, it was like I could start to see better each day, I could walk more silently which was weird and then my face started changing too, I'm sure everyones noticed by now. There havn't really been any other changes besides those until now and they've started to slow down but yeah thats basically the essentials of it. Thankfully though, I didn't wake up suddenly and have any craving to harm or y'know… eat people." Alan said as his eyes met hers, his tone of voice was perfect, there was no flucutaions in it, no change in his pulse, it was all perfect even as he told half truths that hid the complete reality of what had happened to him.



For a moment after speaking out, Alan stopped, waiting for it, waiting for that damned notification from the system that would spell his doom, however thankfully, it didn't come, he was fine, completely fine.



'So… as long as the system isn't known about, I can talk about the changes that came from it, I just can't tell the truth on how those changes came to be.' Alan thought inside of his mind, nodding to himself inwardly.



This had been a risk, a major one that directly involved his life as its stakes however it was one that had to be done, it had to be done for what Alan wanted to achieve atleast, he could have continued to hide it or atleast refuse to talk about it, however if he wanted to increase his reputation and relationship status with Alice, he had to atleast speak a little about the secret that was not really one, not after everyone in Forks had seen what he looked like now.



"That… okay, so you woke up and slowly day by day, you were getting stronger and seeing better? And then your face also changed… which yeah, everyone's seen that. Thankfully no humans really thought much about it besides plastic surgery, well I guess regular people dont go around thinking of anything supernatural instantly, that's kind of a last resort and even if they did think of it, they'd be called crazy by everyone else." Alice said as her eyes slowly returned back to normal as she released another sigh, for what felt like the the thousandth time in mere minutes and then she leaned backwards, getting in a more comfortable position.



"Yeah, that's basically it. And you're right, no human in their sane mind would think of anything supernatural, but… well your not human and my fear currently is that something else has learned that I'm not exactly normal… my house seems to be the doing of one of those people" Alan said as he ran a hand through his hair before standing up as he started walking around the room in a slow circle, his eyebrows scrunched together as he thought back to the sight of the eyes in the forest.

Chapter 116 New
"There's something that I didn't tell you before about this morning, since well I couldn't really tell you about the supernatural stuff. I actually saw something as I was heading towards the school." Alan said as he stopped walking around and looked back towards Alice once more, having made up his mind.


'I can atleast be honest about this now, with this, it should be a lot easier to catch whoever that fucker is.' Alan thought in his mind as he looked towards Alice.



"You saw something? What was it? Was… it a wolf?" Alice asked almost instantly as she stood up onto her feet from where she was seated on the edge of the bed, her eyes slowly changing colour from that beautiful amber into what could only be called two pits of the abyss that seemed to be staring back directly into Alan's soul.



"I… am not sure, but I think so, I saw a pair of yellow slitted eys, clearly wolf like. As for whether it was actually a wolf, I can't be one hundred percent sure but it's more than likely. You said that I smelled like a wet dog in the morning so, the clues all point towards that. Do you know anything about it?" Alan asked seriously as he thought back to what he had seen during the morning at the edge of the forest.



"Yeah, Yeah. I most definitely know what that thing your talking about could have been. Infact I'm almost completely sure in my assumption already." Alice said, her voice having gone lower than usual, turning almost into a growl.



Looking at the almost feral woman that had been acting completely normally merely moments before, Alan slowly raised his hands up in a calming gesture.



"Okay… calm down for a bit. I really don't want a feral vampire to be in the same room as me right now." Alan said, his voice slightly tight as he gazed at her, whilst he knew that she wasn't angry or growling towards him or at him, it was still an unnerving sight seeing Alice acting so… inhumanly infront of him when she had been hiding this side of her from him before.



For a moment, his words didn't seem to register in her mind at all, too lost in her own emotions that semeed to be momentarily overwhelming her mind.



In that single moment, Alan's hands had already lowered down, his eyes slowly started narrowing as his fingers twitched just slightly, his hands slowly forming a motion as if he was about to drag something out of nowhere at the sight of any movement.



That moment that seemed to last almost forever however passed and in the very next moment, Alice's eyes changed once more, turning more amber-like in colour though never fully returning to their previous radiance as she took another calming breath before turning towards him.



"Right… sorry about that. I just… what happened to you and who did it… now that I know who did it, it makes me even angerer than before. Because it means the problem is even bigger than i thought. I had a suspicion before but this confirms it completely and this… could lead to a war that… I don't think any of us want." Alice said, her words somehow both explaining her reaction aswell as causing a dozen more questions to appear inside of Alan's own mind, it was both cryptic and confusing.



'What does she mean by that? What more problems? Shouldn't there be less problems now that we know who it was, or is it that the identity of the person who did that to me is someone with either power or influence in the region… that's most likely the case if this problem as she says could lead to a war between the vampires and these… wolves.' Alan thought to himself, his mind instantly linking the information together as his hands slowly lowered down completely once more and a frown appeared on his expression.



"I'd like an explanation on that, as I said, I'm quite new to this supernatural stuff and I don't really know any of the… factions or whatever you guys call them." Alan said as he walked back towards the bed and sat down slowly, his voice having regained its calm once more almost as easily as flipping a switch.



Alice nodded before sitting down once more before him and then finally speaking, her own expression was a matching frown as the one that was currently on Alans.



"The wolf that attacked your apartment is most definitely a part of the Quileute Tribe, the reservation. Im sure you've heard of them." Alice said at first as she waited for a moment until Alan gave a nod in confirmation.



'Ofcourse I know about them, everyone in Forks does.' Alan thought to himself instantly before his mind came to a screeching halt almost as soon as that thought had passed through his mind and his eyes slowly widened as he looked at Alice.



"You… you're not about to tell me that the entirety of the Quileute… are that. And that… I've somehow managed to make an enemy of them…" Alan asked slowly, his voice completely and utterly losing its previous calm, his mind overwhelmed by so many emotions so quickly about the situation that he didn't even know how to react.



Alice slowly gave a nod of her head.



"Not… the entirety of them are wolves, but yeah… there's quite a few."



'Ah… fuck me.'
