"If our predictions are true, he wanted to kill me." He says, slowly, "So in my eyes, and in defence of my life... Yes, I think he very much deserves to die. But I'll hold off... Unless he tries something, in which case, I can just blame it on the fact that I don't know how to control my newly bonded powers." He laughs a little and then begins to walk in the direction of the car.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice nods and follows him, "I don't want anyone to get hurt Fenton, end of. Whether he planned this or not, everyone deserves to live." She says, her human personality showing now. She brings a hand through her hair again and stifles a sigh.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"Well... Alright. I won't kill him just because you won't let me. But don't expect me to be happy about it, alright?" He says, slightly harshly, he pulls open the car door and holds it open for Alice. "But don't hold me accountable for if he gets any broken bones. Just because I'm a witch doesn't mean I can't use fists."

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice chuckles, "I didn't say he couldn't get hurt, just not dead." She comments, climbing into the car. She brings a hand through her hair and yawning again.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Fenton climbs in the car after Alice and shuts the door behind him, a devilish grin on his face. "Oh, well, in which case. I can magic him to the point of near death, then?" Amma turns around sharply, "Why are we talking about killing people? Jesus christ Fenton, just because our roots are blacker than midnight doesn't mean you have to be."

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice looks at Amma, "I've already said no to killing people." She says sharply, staring at them both. She brings a hand through her hair and grins, "I'll talk to Alex, he was my friend and I believe if anyone is to punish him, it'll he me. Though I bet he'll try to use his magic against me, in which case I'll need my witch companion." She winks at Fenton and a short laugh.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"Pfft... I think you'll find that you're my vampire companion, not the other way around. I'm batman, you're Robin." He says, and snaps his fingers in a sort of sassy way. He grins widely and leans back in his chair, so that he was comfortable. He was still tired, and in honesty, he was pretending to be happy. All he felt was a deep numb inside him. Probably the side effect of coming back from hell.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice chuckles, "No, I'm black widow, the leather jumpsuit and that would suit me." She says looking at him, "Are you okay?" She asks lightly, as if sensing something wrong.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"You probably would suit the jumpsuit, actually." He laughs a little and then covers his mouth, "that came out worse than it was supposed to, but I'm not going to defend myself. I'll just make things worse." He looks at Alice when she asks him if he's okay, he nods his head, "yeah, yeah I'm fine." He says matter of factly, "why?"

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice laughs, "Yeah, that came out a bit full on." She says amusedly before shrugging at him, "I just, I don't know how to explain what I just felt. It's like I could sense it but if you're fine that maybe it's just me being weird." She says.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"I think it's just you being weird," he laughs a little, lying. Then, a question came into his head and he leaned into the front of the car, towards Amma. "Does this mean she can feed from me now?" He asks her, and Amma sighs. "Yes, yes it does."

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice stares at them, "I'm not doing that. I think I might go on a blood free diet for a while. Eat pizza and burgers." She says lightly, "Plus, as nice as you blood is, it won't stop the thirst for human blood." She adds.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Amma almost stops the car, jolting in the road for a moment before continuing the drive. She turns and looks at Alice through the rear view mirror. "No. No blood free diets. You need blood to survive and Fenton needs you to survive." She almost said it sharply, but instead it came out like an instruction.


Fenton looks at Alice. "Yeah, see I think Amma could be quite right there." He raises his eyebrows. "Vampires need to drink blood to survive. Never said what kind, too. Animal blood, witch blood, human blood. It's like the same as vegetarians. They get their essentials in other places."

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice looks at Amma, "Wait so you're saying that Fenton needs me to live? I don't get how that works." She mumbles lightly, very confused now. She clenches her jaw at the mention on blood.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"You're bonded now. I thought I told you?" She furrows her eyebrows. "You both need each other to survive. If you die, Fenton has no source of power. He'll either die, or go into a coma that he will never wake up from. And if he dies... Well it's sort of to same, except you get the chance to save yourself by finding another witch within three days."

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice nods, "Looks like we'll have to keep eachother alive then." She mumbles before looking at Amma, "What's the chance that every werewolve hates me and every vampire wants to be friends?" She asks lightly, "I'm half human, won't the werewolves see this as a violation of the treaty. I read up on it last night. Yet I'm not accepting my the vampires either, not fully." She says.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Amma shakes her head and shrugs her shoulders. "It depends how said vampire or werewolf was raised. If they believe in the treaty, they may have a hard time being friends with you, but you weren't bitten a vampire, you were born one, which is out of your control. And as for the vampires, there is really no need to worry about them liking you. They only care about one thing, power. No offence."

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice nods, "But I'm no different from them?! In fact, if anything I'm weaker than the average vampire aren't i?" She asks looking at them. She brings a hand through her hair and looks around.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

Amma shakes her head, "Not anymore. You have vampire blood in your veins, and it's finally turned you into one. Just because you still have human blood in you, it is very minute. You're going to have all of the advantages of being a vampire, with most of the advantages of being a human. You can walk in the daylight without the ring of protection, for example. Added to the bond of the witch, you could say that you may end up being more powerful. Considering a bonding is rare, and I'm sorry to tell you this, but dangerous during the process, none of your little vampire classmates will have a companion. Or your witch ones."


Fenton was listening, but he kept his eyes on Alice so that he could watch her reaction.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice raises an eyebrow, thinking for a moment, "So, essentially, if the vampires are as power greedy as they seem. I- we could be turned into a weapon for either side?" She asks with slight amusement. She looks at Fenton, "As long as the bond doesn't involve things like if he hurts then I feel it to." She says before pausing, "Then I'll feel fine." She says.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"Well..." Amma trails off and thinks for a moment, turning into the long narrow pathway for their house, she soon parked the car and sat still for a moment. "Well I wouldn't say that one of you would feel pain if the other did. But... You would certainly know that something is wrong. You will be able to feel it." She explains, and then gets out of the car.


Fenton gets out of the car and then shuts the door, before walking around to the other side and opening the door for Alice, smiling slightly.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice smiles at him and climbs out of the car. She looks at him, "So I sense how he feels?" she says questioningly before looking at him and smiling.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"Not quite that way. It's like... If you were in immediate danger, or if one of you was in intense pain, then you would be able to sense it, but it doesn't quite work that way with regular emotions... Or at least... Not that much. You probably would be able to sense something slightly, but it would be easily overlooked." Amma explains and walks over to the front door and unlocks it, she walks inside. Fenton follows her, letting her speak. He didn't want to interrupt, as he wanted to learn just as much as Alice did.

 

[CrystalSmith]

Alice nods, "Okay, I think that I understand. I hope that it is okay I stay, I can't face my mother, I'm not nearly close to being in control," she says lightly. She takes a deep breath and looks around slowly.

 

[buildingaspaceship]

"Of course it is." She smiles and then looks down at Alice's clothing. "But unfortunately, being a guardian myself, I cannot and will not let you go to school in the clothes you wore for two days straight. Somehow we need to get you something to wear. Pyjamas too." She says and gestures to her outfit. "If Fenton were a girl you could have borrowed something of his. But... He isn't. So. And I'm two sizes too big, by estimate."
