I’m really worried about Faine. I know I only know her a short time, but I believed she was always so strong and able and not the type to fall apart just because some angel said a battle was coming our way. Does she forget how strong we are as a family? Does she forget that we now have the Cullen’s with us too. I don’t know what the problem is. Plus our brother Gabriel is coming back and he’s as strong as two men. I know Faine hasn’t been in battles for a long time other that our leaving from Volterra but really, that was just manipulation of talents and very little violence on our part. Maybe she’s afraid for another reason, something she’s not telling me. I felt bad leaving her to go and join the other guys for the stag night, particularly when she seems so vulnerable but she said she was fine. I’ll have to take her word for it.
I really enjoyed the stag night we had for Josh. He’s a funny guy and surprisingly so is Edward Cullen. I thought he was going to be a stiff, but once he realised we weren’t try to kill him or his precious Bella he relaxed. I like him. He’s like a big brother, ha well younger I suppose as I’m older than him. We played paintball. I’d never heard of it before and we played in during the night, which should have made it harder but it didn’t because well you know already why. I missed Faine a lot but really enjoyed spending the night with the guys only. I love my new life. Away from Italy, the master’s rule, not having an opinion, always obeying orders, having to go on missions, well no, that bit was fun, it got me out of the palace. Since meeting Faine I finally feel like my eternity has a focus. When I think of her I also wonder how I ever thought I was gay. Sheesh! (As Lottie would say), I must have been mad. Lottie is a sweet girl who had a terrible life. Her mother hated her. That must have been tough, her boyfriend dumping her when he found out she was pregnant (or as she would say ‘up the duff’) and leaving her mom and all she’d known, only to come here and meet us. Well at least that part of her life was an improvement. Then when she lost the babe and became a vampire she kinda lost the plot. I don’t blame her. I remember when I was changed. I was so angry, but I was angry at Jane who’d insisted on me being changed too. I didn’t forgive her until recently. Faine has done so much for me and brought out so much of me that was hidden. She even got rid of Jane. Well technically, but sure you know that story. I can honestly say I’m finally free. She was like a ball and chain and I’m finally free of Jane.
Jasper came up to me and put his arm around my shoulder and said
“Alec, I’m glad you’re one of us at last. You’re alright! I thought you were way too young to be stuck on babysitting duty. Your sister was strange though if you’ll pardon me, but I sense you don’t mind me saying it, nor miss her.”
“Wow, are you a mind reader?” I laughed.
“I was just thinking the same thing. Can I ask you something?”
“Sure, shoot.”
“When you met Alice did you know she was meant for you or did you have to think about it?”
“Man, she told me I was meant for her and she was waiting for me.”
“Wow, really, because Faine said the same thing to me.” We both looked at each other and smirked.
“Guess we were marked huh!” laughed jasper. I laughed too.
“Yeah!” How cool was that. We split up into teams of three and the ‘war’ began! I never enjoyed a game like this before. I got a thrill from the nervous energy growing inside me between trying to hide and dodge the paintballs and actually aiming and shooting my ‘victims’. I smirked to myself.
“Booya!” I shouted at Edward as I got him squarely on the shoulder and then ducked as three balls came flying towards my head.
“Missed me” I giggled and sprinted away. Wasn’t so much hide and seek because I could smell who was hiding nearby but it was fun dodging. It should be named dodge ball. We played all night, no women equals loads of energy. Ha! I was blown away, what a night. Haven’t had this much fun in ages.
When the girls got home from New York I made sure to be near Faine as much as possible. She was worried even though she tried to hide it. With all the commotion of the wedding going on she tried to keep the fear deadened. No-one but me picked up on it. I brought her up to Paddy’s now renovated cottage as often as possible, it gave her the opportunity to discuss her fears about Hazel’s predictions in peace, out of range of the others. She managed to manipulate my gifts so that anyone approaching us would simply think we were staring into each other’s eyes, but we were having a conversation. We spent any free time there that we could get in the lead up to the wedding. Thank God Faine wasn’t as fussy and liked the simpler things in life. I pitied josh marrying such a fusspot. Ha ha and told him as much. He laughed at me said it was all part of Jordan’s charm. Being on our own was great, intimacy in peace. It’s like we were living in our own bubble. Faine had bought some interesting pieces of lingerie that just had to explored! Of course our bubble had to burst at some stage. Alice rang Faine to tell us we had to be going to the church. For the actual wedding. You mean as opposed the one they had last night? Rehearsal? What the hell did they need to rehearse? Go up aisle, priest talks....bla bla bla….i pronounce you man and wife you may kiss her and off you go on your honeymoon…..ta da, all done in a nutshell. But nooooooooooooooooooo flitter flatter, flub-a-dub and bla bla bla, yeah whatever you say. Yes…..that’s my sentiments on a wedding. Too much nonsense I thought but then I’m old fashioned I guess ha ha. Faine commented on the church as being pretty like walking in on Cinderella’s ball. WHO? Oh the fairy-tale. Ok I thought moving on to other thoughts. Too many humans here, feel like I’ve just walked into a deli. This will be a real test on all us normal vampires…the human blood sucker type, never mind Lottie who has no control. I spotted her walking off with some men and women. I wondered where the hell she was going with them but Faine told me to let her have her fun. They were just free loaders. What does that mean? Faine answered me again in my head which still freaks me out a little. It’s bad enough having my own thoughts in there without anyone else’s too! It means people who aren’t invited to the wedding and who just invite themselves for free food. OH! I thought and she smiled. Faine was beginning to get nervous now and I don’t blame her, she had to make a speech in front of all of the humans about how happy she is for josh and Jordan to join our little family. Her being the maid of honour and all. She’s normally such a reserved person, great in a crisis, can get things done, but shy in front of strangers. Very human of her. She looked at me, reading my thoughts and punched my arm affectionately. I laughed and pulled her too me, kissing her lips. She snaked her arms around my neck and I pulled her closer to me, not quite ready to let her go after our intimate couple of days together. Edward walked by and passed a side comment from behind his hand
“Get a room you two!” and went off with his arm around Bella. We ignored them but stopped kissing, standing nose to nose smiling at each other and still holding each other tightly and went to watch our sister and brother become husband and wife. Soon that will be me marrying Faine, officially that is, in front of our friends. But I hope it will be a lot tamer affair! Faine looked at me, smiled and nodded and blessed herself. I think she is thinking along the same lines as me. She nodded again. I smiled. Everyone else looked very happy. Lottie was up to mischief as Hazel had predicted, but when I saw her going to a van with that young vampire I was immediately protective. Faine put her hand on my arm and said
“Let her go. She has to learn for herself.”
“But who’ll protect her from him?”
“Alec she’s a new-born!” True, I still felt suspicious of him. But I let her go.
I was standing with Faine on my arm chatting to Valentina and Demitri when the new vampire’s van screeched to a halt in front of us. I immediately went in front of Faine but she pushed me aside saying
“She’s okay, she just had an incident with a child. She’s just missing Ruby.” I backed down immediately trusting her judgement. Sure enough the guy carefully picked up Lottie who looked lost again and so sad. She said she was going home, that Bastien would mind her. Valentina, like me was a bit anxious, but Lottie said he would mind her. He’s not dangerous. So we let them go.
Faine and I spent the rest of the day chatting and socialising until it came to the speeches. Faine did me proud. She welcomed Jordan and Josh into our family with loving arms. There wasn’t a dry eye in the house by the time she had finished. She even discussed what it would be like having the patter of tiny feet running around the house and how lovely and spoiled he or she would be with so many aunts and uncles as willing babysitters. It made me wonder how Faine feels about having no children of her own. Something I must discuss with her down the line. All in all it was a fantastic wedding. Our gang, the Cullen’s and the humans all had a fantastic day. On the way home Alice and Bella went on ahead with Jordan and Katy, Jasper and Edward and I kind of hung back a bit. Chelsea threaded her arm through faine’s and they stopped every now and again picking flowers. HUMANS! I thought in my head and laughed when Faine looked back and stuck out her tongue at me.
“We’re leaving when we get home Alec, just wanted to say that it was a pleasure getting to know you and now that I do I count you as a brother!” said jasper. Edward nodded too and smiled. I was delighted to feel like my family had just increased and I was filled with a happy feeling. Faine looked around again at me and winked at me. I ran ahead of her sticking my tongue out at her and she tore after me. We both got home at the same time and were laughing our heads off. Jordan and Alice were hugging each other tightly when we walked in and sobbing that they were gonna miss each other. I looked at Jasper and Edward and rolled my eyes up to the sky. It’s not like they’re never gonna see each other again.! WOMEN!!!!! Faine looked at me and smirked and pointed a thumb at her chest. I shook my head, no my love, not you, you’re perfect and with that I giggled and ran off outside to chat to the other guys, let the women get on with their goodbyes. Too human for me. Ha. I shook hands with Edward and Jasper as did the others and thanked them for coming and teaching us paintball, a game we’d have to repeat sometime soon. We giggled at how human the women were being. There were general comments and swopping phone numbers etc. and we promised to keep in touch and all that bla bla bla human stuff. Ha. When they were all packed and in their car they left and we stood at our home waving them off. Next thing Jordan and Josh decided they better be leaving too as they would miss their flight if they didn’t get a move on. We all found this hysterical then, as if a vampire could miss a flight. When they had left I grabbed Faine’s hand and we left to go to Paddy’s house for a bit of R & R to ourselves.
