Chapter 125
The headache that he was feeling coming towards him almost as soon as Alice had started speaking in what felt like a hundred miles a second was not going away any time soon as it seemed as he released another exhausted sigh before slightly shaking his head as he walked towards the door.
"Alright, let's go get some food or rather I'll go? Since you don't even have to eat… you get what I mean, whatever." Alan muttered as he walked out of the room, leaving it and the deathly cannibalistic paintings behind as he walked out into the long hall with the dozens of photos and paintings of the Cullens through the ages once more.
Walking down the hall with Alice at his side, Alan was once more thinking about what he could do to deal with the situation once more, now only mere hours likely separated him and the meeting with the Quileute tribe, he would have to either make a plan soon or come up with some kind of idea because if he did not, he would simply have to go with the flow of events and as he had learned the flow of events never truly went in a direction that Alan wanted it to go in.
'Just what can I do… what the hell can I do?' He thought as his mind wandered to his abilities, he wasn't weak, he wasn't anywhere near as weak as he had been when he had first gained the system, in fact he was quite confident in his fighting ability, however the big problem that he had right now was that he didn't know exactly what that fighting ability measured against when fighting vampires or whatever kinds of wolves the Quileute were.
'The level that is shown in the observation when looking at Alice is high but that could be for other reasons and not just physical strength though the vampires have shown me otherwise and proved it that they do have much higher physical powers than me, but what im thinking is that maybe… the Quileute have some kind of other power? Something similar to whatever that Bella Swan has, she seems weak physically yet her level is much higher than it should be for a regular human like her.' Alan thought inwardly as he kept following behind Alice in silence. It was at that moment that he noticed someone touching his shoulder.
Lifting his head from where he was gazing at the ground suddenly in confusion, Alan looked to see that they had stopped and Alice had been shaking him for a bit.
"Uh… what is it?" He asked awkwardly confused as he raised an eyebrow towards the pixie-like vampire whilst scratching the back of his neck in embarrassment. It had been happening quite often, where he would focus so much onto something inside of his mind that he would lose sight of all the outside surroundings.
Alice looked at him for a moment before pinching her nose as she released a sigh and shook her head.
"Was I just talking for minutes… for nothing? Really Alan?" She asked in what felt like the first time showing annoyance towards Alan since he had met her.
Alan's lips slowly lifted up in one of the awkwardest smiles of his life before he raised his shoulders silently into a shrug.
"Sorry?" He said softly as he couldn't bear to look at her for a moment longer as his eyes swerved to the left, looking at the wall behind her.
"Look, it's fine, I'll just repeat it again, this is actually important so listen okay? The meeting with the Quileute Tribe that's happening today." Alice said and as soon as the words left her mouth, Alan's stance changed entirely in what felt like a fraction of a second as his eyes swerved back towards her face in an instant and his eyebrows narrowed, there was no more time for awkwardness or embarrassment, there was no more time for him to be complaining about his headache, his entire focus was placed on her and the next words that would be uttered out of her mouth.
"Carlisle sent a message to the tribe yesterday night, they responded and… agreed to a meeting however that doesn't mean that all is fixed. They didn't really give us any information besides the fact that they were indeed the ones that broke your place and that they would need explanations as well about certain matters, these are likely related to the disappearance of your friends and the fact that they smelled the blood in your apartment." Alice said at first as she took a step back and leaned against the left hallway wall, putting one foot on it whilst the other leg remained straight.
"Right, so what does Carlisle want me to do and also what time is the meeting?" Alan asked, his tone of voice was clear and there was not a single sway in it, his eyes remained cold, unmoving and unfeeling almost.
"Around seven in the afternoon we will meet with them at the border between our two territories, its in the middle of the forest, there's a small water creek that separates us. Now as for what you should do… Carlisle will tell you that himself, he's in the living room right now and he can talk to you about it whilst you finish eating your breakfast. Sound good?" Alice asked as she lifted an eyebrow.
"Sounds perfect."
