Vampire Hunter (A Twilight Story) - Season 2 - Episode 21

I stiffened before responding. “What did you see?” I tried to ask casually but failed. She looked at me suspiciously before dropping her voice even lower.

“Not much. I just saw him kiss you, why is there more?”

“No!” I said quickly, too quickly. I was sure if I still could I would be blushing this moment. Alice’s face lit up but there was a mischievous glint in her eyes. Something deep down told me Alice was about to grill me for details and my suspicions were confirmed immediately.

“Omg, did you two…” she trailed off, giving me a knowing look.

“That’s none of your business.” I hissed.
“You’re my sister now! Of course I have a right to know.” She rolled her eyes. “Is he a good kisser, how ummm…was he?” She started giggling, her little frame shaking violently, and I thought I was about to have a heart attack. I glanced behind me quickly but Felix and Jasper seemed deep in conversation, sounded like military talk, not hearing what she just said. Thank you god!
“Alice! What has gotten into you?” I asked shocked. Alice, shopaholic pixi like Alice, was actually asking for details about my sex life. The times I thought about escaping back to the Cullen’s and seeing Alice again this was not what I had in mind.

“C’mon, I can’t talk about these things with Bella or Rose because they’re with my brothers.” She closed her eyes shuddered delicately at the thought. “But you and Felix, on the other hand, are fair game.” She had a devilish grin on her face that told me she wasn’t going to give up. “So spill, you and I are long overdue for some girl talk.”

I tried to make a joke out of it in an attempt to steer her away from this topic. “I would Alice, really, but then I would have to kill you.” I said seriously, flashing my teeth.

“Anna.” She growled, “You can make this easy or hard on yourself but either way…”
We were almost at the others now, only a few more seconds and they would be able to hear us no matter how quietly she whispered, so I decided to compromise. “Ok ok but later! Maybe in a place you know a little more private.” I inclined my head to the almost three dozen faces, vampire and wolf alike. She frowned but nodded her head in agreement. I let out a gush of air I had been holding and sighed in relief. “Evil pixi.” I mumbled under my breath.

I looked at the people before us and many had dispersed to smaller groups, other clearly preparing to leave. Edward and Bella were with the wild looking vampires while Carlisle was with the large red headed woman. I saw two sulking men, as old the Volturi borther’s, slink into the shadows. I noticed the Denali coven hovering together, their faces relieved but also grief stricken. I couldn’t decide whether or not to approach Kate and apologize for earlier but I didn’t want to interrupt their private mourning.
When we finally reached the group Esme was the first to greet us and pulled the two of us in simultaneously for a hug. She was sobbing but it I was certain it was out of happiness and she seemed beyond words for a moment. Though it was a little awkward Alice and I both managed to get our arms around her to embrace her back. When she pulled back she left a hand on each of our arms for a moment. She looked at Alice, “You are never to leave us like that again.” Her voice was gentle yet stern, maternal in every sense of the word.

“I promise.” Was all that Alice said, smiling. Esme returned it before looking at me.

“And I’m so glad to see you Anna and that you’re alright.” She paused and seemed to think over her words. “At least I hope you are alright, I can only imagine how this has been for you.” She said gently, her eyes sad but caring.

“I’m fine Esme, don’t worry about me. I’m a survivor, adaption is second nature to me and I’ll continue to do so like I always have.” Once the words left my mouth I was shocked at the truth of them. These last few months have been chaotic to say the least. The horrifying and wonderful, misery and happiness, confusion and clarity all mixed together and often simultaneously. Yet through it all I have adapted, survived and become stronger as a result. Do I still wish I was human? Yes, but there’s no going back and I’ve made the best of my situation though with a little help. I turned my head to the side and look at Felix, ok with a lot of help. I’ve lost a lot but also gained a great deal in return, I smiled a little and turned back to Esme. She had followed my gaze and smiled warmly at me.

“I’m so happy for you.” She said to me just as Felix came to my side. She smiled up at him, her face friendly and open. He returned it but his was a bit more timid, uncommon for him but I could tell he was a bit uncomfortable in the current setting and unsure of how he would be received. I rubbed comforting circles on the back of his hand and he nudged me back playfully.
