Chapter 129
The hours passed faster than any of the ones that Alan had ever experienced in his life, it was like one moment he was still eating breakfast at the table inside of the Cullen mansion and in the very next moment, the sun was already starting to set down.
He had not done much throughout the day, in fact he had almost spent the entirety of the day sitting down in the living room with the television turned on to a random sports channel whilst he was deeply inside of his own thoughts, thoughts that went inside of his mind for a moment and then out of it, if someone even questioned him what he was thinking about, he would obviously tell them that he was thinking about the future, about what was going to happen, about what he was going to do from now on, however if they asked him what the conclusion he had come to was? He would not be able to reply.
He had no idea, none at all on what was going to happen, on what was going to be going on during or after the meeting with the Quileute and neither did he have any idea on what he was going to do. He had thought about it so much that it had cycled back to the point where he had thought so much about it that he was too conflicted, it was as if he had not thought about it at all.
'I wish I had not, atleast that way I wouldn't have spent all that damn time stressing about it and actually enjoyed my day inside of a fucking mansion. But no, I did all that for nothing and now the sun is setting and it's almost here and i dont know anything.' Alan thought to himself as he was on the balcony of the woodland mansion, staring out at the falling golden sun as it slowly but surely approached the top of the tree-line and then started disappearing behind it as the light slowly vanished and was replaced by the darkness of the night time.
"Are you ready Alan?" A voice said from behind him, turning around to look, he already knew who it was without having even fully turned, and there she was, Alice Cullen. She had stayed by his side throughout the entire day, unlike her usual self or the morning, she had not spoken much, letting him have time to deal with his own thoughts and process everything on his own, something that he was appreciative of. Sometimes silence was a bigger gift than any kind of talk could be.
"Yeah. As ready as I'll ever be. Are we going now?" Alan asked softly as he gave a nod of his head towards the pixie-like vampiress.
Alice gave a nod of her head in reply to his question, her expression was as serious as it had ever been, her eyes slightly narrowed and much darker than her usual amber as she looked towards him for a few moments in silence before finally replying as she turned her head to look behind him, staring at the falling sun through the tree line. The entire mansion was mostly in shadow and the sun never hit any part of it, however the sun could still be seen for just a slight second and then it disappeared after a few moments, the last rays of it disappearing.
"Yeah, we'll be heading over now. It's already almost seven, we will be heading there on foot. I'll carry you." Alice said softly as she turned her head to look towards Alan once more, her lips were in a flat line after she finished talking before she softly shook her head, clearly not at him but whatever thought had briefly passed through her mind.
"Carry me?" Alan asked in slight confusion as he lifted an eyebrow towards her.
'What does she mean by carrying me? As in literally carrying me in her arms? Why? What? Wait… are… are they going to be moving at the same speed that Edward moved at during his save of Bella on that day?' Alan thought to himself as his mind quickly found the memory of the day Edward Cullen had saved Bella Swan during the incident with the white van and then as soon as his mind went there, his eyes slowly widened slightly.
'Can… Can I even survive that? No… no way, hell no. I don't wanna do that shit. It was already scary enough when she was driving but doing that?... fuck. I don't have a choice do I?' Alan thought to himself as he felt a shiver slowly start from the base of his spine and then spread through the rest of his body.
Alice instantly caught the shiver in her sight as the flat line of her lips slowly started twitching as a slight playful look started twinkling inside of her eyes as she slowly walked towards Alan before stopping right before him and placing her hand on his shoulder.
"Oh come on Alan… it won't be that bad. In fact It's going to be really fun, all the scenery around us as we run, the sights, very beautiful… if you can even see them at that speed that is." Alice said as her smile finally widened enough to resemble a smirk as she looked at him with open playfulness in her eyes now.
"Damn you…" Alan muttered out loud unconsciously.
