"Choice?!? The hell you don't have a choice!?!" Alice yelled. "You have a choice! LET ME GO HOME!"

She was started to panic inside, the fear running through her veins like icewater. She honestly couldn't move and it frightened her more then anything. If he could do this, how was she suppose to protect herself from him?

**Peeker** · May 26th, 2007, 02:32 PM

"Dear girl.... I repeat, I - can - not - let - you - go - home. This is home. My home. ...and as long as your are my student, yours as well. I will do everything I can to make you comfortable, so long as you obey the rules of my house This is the only thing I ask, chlid." Alek shook his head. "It'd probably be better if you slept on it... you need time to get yourself used to being here."

**Kira_Wolf_Cub** · May 26th, 2007, 02:52 PM

Alice forced herself to calm down on the inside. She was thinking of a plan to get out and maybe if she played her cards right, she could convince him to leave her alone long enough for her to open a window and sneak out.

"Maybe... maybe you're right," Alice sighed and looked kindly at him. "I just... need some time alone... if that's alright?"

**Peeker** · May 27th, 2007, 03:05 AM

Aleksandr nodded, kindly. "Yes, of course. I'm two doors down on the right, if you need me - just knock, alright?"

The man stood, looking at her neutrally. "I... I am sorry, Alice. I promise, you'll find your life ahead to be far more wonderful than you could imagine... and I will do everything in my power to make it so for you."

The vampire left her room, leaving the door open - she could close it herself, after all, and then went down the hall to his study.

**Kira_Wolf_Cub** · May 27th, 2007, 07:37 PM

Alice watched and waited until Aleks was out of sight then closed the door. She looked wildly about the room and neared the window. Even if it was the second floor, she figured she could use the nearby tree to climb down to a safe landing. Gently touching the window, Alice realized that Aleks had ment she couldn't break the windows but she could crawl out of them.

Waisting little time, Alice hopped from the edge of her window and onto the tree, sliding down slowly so that she wouldn't be noticed. She then high tailed it across the yard and scaled the wall with alarming easy before landing on the other side.

"What the hell is happening to me?" Alice gapped as she looked at the 9 foot wall behind her. "That... that isn't even humanly possible."

>>>>>>> Pause in flash back <<<<<<<<

"Janus will you stop gapping," Alice groaned as she knocked over Klonoa again as the pup was still very active. "I know it was stupid, but it seemed like a good idea at the time. Now let me finish."

She eyed the clock wanting to be sure that she didn't stay up too late. Aleks usually wasn't fond of her going to bed late as she was difficult to awaken in the mornings.

"So after I jumped the wall I found myself wondering into town....."

>>>>>> Flash back continue<<<<<<<<<<

Alice found herslef walking about blindly in the streets for what felt like hours. Aleks had been rigtht, she didn't know where she was and it was making her more and more nervous every minute. To make matters worse, someone was following her.

"Hey sweetie thing," The voice slurred. Alice nearly gagged on the smell of alcohol on the drunkard's breath. "Wait up, I just want to talk to you..."

Alice speed up to get away when found herself in an alleyway. She was about to back track when the man cornered her.

"Get off me!" Alice yelpped and pushed at the man. He slurred several words to her as he leaned closer. As Alice started to panic more, her fangs began to grow. "GET OFF ME!!"

The man was suddenly tossed off her and someone pulled her close.

"Cover your mouth and stay close," The strange ordered in a calm voice with a strong british accent. "I'll take you some place safe, little one."

She followed him, blinded by her fear and tears as she desperatly trying to cover her elongated fangs behind a quivering hand.

**Peeker** · May 28th, 2007, 01:30 AM

The mirror in Alice's room chimed softly, and Aleksandr's face appeared in it - a little trick he hadn't performed for quite some time, as he wanted to respect the girl's privacy. He knew, however, that they were simply talking, and thought it a good idea for both of them to know what he had to say.

"My apologies for interrupting, Alice - but you do need to go to sleep eventually... just don't want you to stay up too late, alright?"

"Our apologies, Lord Aleksandr." Janus said, respectfully. "Alice was telling me about her first night as a fledgling..."

Alek's reflection smiled. "Really? Would you mind continuing, Alice? I've always been curious as to what happened after you ran off, you know..."

Janus laughed. "Perfect timing!"

**Kira_Wolf_Cub** · May 28th, 2007, 01:51 AM

"Argh! You're both horrible." she whinned and made herself comfy. "Well, so other then disobey the first rule of never follow a strange..."

>>>>>Flash Back<<<<<<

Alice glanced about as the strange lead her to a place that was dimmly light by neon lights. As they moved to past, the bouncer blocked their path.

"21 or no entery, sweetheart." The guy stated only to looked at her oddly. "Is she alright?"

"She's with me, John. Let us pass," The strange stated as he pulled her close to him. "She's one of us...."

Alice didn't really hear the last part of the conversation between the two as they entered a very noise bar. She found herself being lead until they got to where the private booths were and was forced to sit down.

"She'll need blood and I'll need paper," The man stated to a hostest before looking at Alice. "What is your name and who is your Sire?"

Alice sat silently, taking deep breaths as she felt her fangs return to normal.

"A-Alice.... Alice Harker," She answered and looked at him. "Who are you and where am I?"

He looked at her and smiled appologeticly. "My name is Mikeal Dornell, I'm a vampire like yourself or rather sort off. You're at the Red water Bar. Now who is your Sire?"

"Why would I have one?" Alice eyed him nervously.

"My dear, your actions and fangs give you away," Mikeal scolded her lightly. "And trust me it's for the better that you are returned soon. He or she is probably worried for you're well fair as we speak, so please..."

Alice looked at her hands unhappy. She didn't like where this was going but this Mikeal wasn't letting her go either.

"I'm not sure. Alexsander. But it was spelled different...." She muttered but Mikeal roconized the name. He wrote a quick note before sending it. "What.... what will happen now?"

"That is up to Lord Aleksandr, not me." He stated and looked at his watch. "It will be a while before he gets here. What do you say to we get to know each other better?"

"And what? Wait until some crazy vampire shows up to kick me ass?" Alice looked at the ground and groaned. "I wish I was dead..."

Mikeal laughed to himself. the girl had no idea that she had struck gold having Aleks as a Sire. The man was known for being the most free with his fledglings and the kindest.

"It's not so bad. You're lucky to have him," Mikeal explained. "My sire broke my back once you know...."

>>>>>Flash back end<<<<<<<<<<

"And that's what you missed Aleks, happy?" Alice looked at him, hoping he would questionit more then that.

**Peeker** · May 28th, 2007, 01:57 AM

"Not completely... I'd like to know if he said anything else nice about me." Alek laughed softly, and Janus grinned. "Seriously, though - I know you were at the Red Waters, but more had to happen than you just sitting there, hm? I mean... it was Mikeal, wasn't it? He's not exactly the quietest vampire you'll ever meet..."

Janus smiled. "I liked him... all things considered, I mean. He was... He reminded me a little of you, Lord Aleksandr."

Alek's eyes sparkled. "I believe we'd both consider that a compliment. Well, Alice? What did he say?"

**Kira_Wolf_Cub** · May 28th, 2007, 02:39 AM

Alice stuck her tougne out at Aleks and made herself comfy.

"You just want your ego strocked don't you?" she sighed and thought back.

>>>>>>>>>> Flash Back<<<<<<<<<<<<<

"They can do that?!?" Alice yelped and made to get up. "I've got to get out of here!"

"Hold on a moment!" Mikeal quickly grabbed her hand and forced her to sit back down. "I said my Sire. Lord Rastline was not my Sire. Mine was a man called Razziel. Aleksander is more understanding then that, I've know the man a bit."

"How so, he won't even let me go home..." Alice whispered feeling down hearted.

"My dear you must understand. To the human world you are dead. Most of us are given off as being murdered..." He stopped and looked at her calmly. Now was nota time to going into that. "The point is Aleks is the best choice you could have gotten my dear. He's a very pleasent man. He's well known for his abilities with magic as well as his ability to raise fine Fledglings. He's very understand from what I re..."

>>>> End of Flash back<<<<

"And that's as far as he got because then you showed up and grabbed me by the neck," Alice growled and rubbed her own throat as if it was resent when she felt the chocker she wore. "Which reminds me. Why do I have to keep wearing this? And it's your turn to tell me what you were doing while I was gone."

She got under the covers of her bed, offering Janus some aswell if He wanted to join.

**Peeker** · May 28th, 2007, 03:22 AM

Janus grinned, and tucked himself in on the edge of the bed, not wanting to be presumptuous or improper.

"Well, while you were gone, dear, I was simply working in my study... my... ah... lesson plan for the first few weeks, you might say. You know, all the wonderful things I tried to teach you while you were busy being... an absolute terror." Aleksandr's reflection shook its head disapprovingly. "I mean, really. Talk about a child without self-control.... You were awful, even as far as fledglings go, Alice." Alek smiled, not unkindly. "You even made me into a dictator... I was quoting my sire left and right that first year..."
