Michelle smiled at him as he kept looking at her. It might have been creepy to some the way he was focusing on her and not letting go of her sight, but not to Michelle. It was kinda pleasing, cause she felt like he might be interested in her, without her using her seduction powers, but she couldn’t tell for sure since she wasn’t all too good at reading people.
“As a true gentleman would do… walking a girl home.” She pointed out and smiled. “Girlfriend?” She wondered. If he was taken then Michelle had to watch it and not give in to the feeling of a possible crush growing inside her. But it surely would be a shame if he was already taken.
She would most probably blush at his compliment about her age was she still human, but her skin just continued pale as a vampire’s. “Thanks.” She said and thought for a moment about how she could tell her story on how she became a vampire. Then finally she had the start for her story. “He was my film partner, a fellow actor I worked with in some movies in LA. I was an actress just starting her career when he seduced me and turned me.” She answered Alex’s question, remembering how she felt after she was turned. She felt like a stranger to herself, not feeling comfortable in her own skin. All she wanted was to die and she even refused to feed herself until she just couldn’t handle it anymore.
Alex seemed away of his surroundings while Michelle was mostly focused on him, still never letting her guard down.

Alexander smiled at her comment about walking Jane home that night, then she asked if she was his girlfriend. Alexander looked her in the eye again."Not at the moment my lady, no." He simply said as his eyes moved over their surroundings. His guard was not in need to be up, if Michelle or anything made a move on him, he simply had to move it with his gift and get it out of the way. Alexander had many years to perfect this ability, so he was deadly with it. Heck, he could lift Michelle right off the ground without even moving a muscle in his body. His attention returned to her as she spoke about how she became turned. So a male vampire, an actor turned her while she was an actor, interesting, the arts were. He was quite the fan of the Arts. Acting, music, singing, painting, drawing, etc. He could do it all with ease.
Especially the acting, since he was a hit man, he had to act certain roles to gain access to some of his targets. Music was always a favorite to him, he had more of a classical taste however, you could blame his age for that. Singing was entertaining, but he wasn't to fond of doing it, he could paint and draw very well when he wanted to. Though he never stayed in one place for too long to do either so it was a wasted talent really. He broke his heavenly gaze into her eyes and stood up quickly looking around. He turned to her. "Do you have a mate?" He asked looking to the direction leading deeper into the forest. Something or someone was coming, Alexander could smell him...them, three vampires by the smell, one male two females.
"We have company." He said looking at his watch and checking the time. For no real reason other then to keep track of the time he supposed. A few moments later, a single male vampire exited the tree line with a wicked smile. Seconds later two females showed themselves, all spread apart and on the opposite side of the lake. Alexander stood calmly for a moment, examining the strays. "Are you lost? This territory has been claimed." Alexander spoke, Italian accent but with more anger and intensity in it. the male looked left and then right to the female and the male.
Then back to Alexander. The male was tall and had tanned skin, he wore no shirt and holy faded blue jeans. His hair was black and short. both females were lightly covered, not very decent for a women really. One had short red hair, the other long blond hair. Alexander stayed his ground, not moving an inch. He crossed his arms, his eyes staying focused on the male, who seemed the leader of the small coven. There was a strange hatred between the male and alexander, they both just sorta ticked the other off.

Not at the moment… these words could mean but so much to Michelle. It could mean that the female vampire and Alex were taking a break or that they just broke up, although to Michelle it sounded more like they did take a break but would most probably get back together. What a shame; but there was nothing Michelle could do about it, although she did hope that there would be a chance for them to be.
However, Alexander did hit Michelle by surprise when he asked her if she had a mate. She focused her brown eyes on his blue ones as she studied him and his question. “No… not at the moment.” She replied to him the same way he did reply to her. If he liked to be the mysterious guy then so did Michelle. Usually she’d flirt and ask why and if he was interested, but she had decided not to flirt anymore today with him and just be Michelle, the non seductive vampire.
Michelle caught a scent of three approaching vampires and quickly got her feet, taking a defensive posture. She didn’t know the intruders and she was a little pissed they showed up now that she was warming up to Alex and they were getting to know each other.
For her surprise Alexander’s expression did change some and he sounded angry and not like the nice gentleman Michelle got to know a few moments ago. However, it was turning her on some and she did think it was sexy the way he was defending his territory, as he had mentioned when he spoke to the male vampire.
The two female vampires looked like very *friendly* persons to Michelle and the male one… well, what was it with showing up there shirtless? He had a nice body, that Michelle had to admit, but there was no attraction whatsoever. “Know him?” She whispered to Alexander when she had reached him and saw the hatred between him and the, to her unknown male vampire.

Alexanders arms crossed over his chest as he stared the lead vampire down. He knew him from somewhere. He couldn't quite remember though. Over the years, faces begin to blend together and one forgets. "Ahhh, after all tese years, i was beginning to forget about you old friend." The lead vampire spoke, with a spanish accent, but not an ancient one. Alexander's eyes stayed angry. Michelle asked if he knew him. "I vaguely remember other vampires who didn't mean anything to me." He said not turning around, still watching the three vampire intruders. Then it hit him like a ton of bricks. together Alexander and the lead vampire said it, at the same exact time. "Ezio." Alexanders eyes went from angry to condescending.
Alexander let down his guard a little. Ezio now looked angry. "Now that you remember me, do you remember what you did to me twenty years ago?" ezio roared across the lake. Alexander frowned in anger now. as he looked at the lake and how disturbed it had become due to the intruders. "Quiet your temper boy, you disturb my forest, you shall know my wrath...again." He said with a smug grin on his lips. Ezio leapt from rock to rock running over the lake, stepping on stones so he didnt hit the water, the females followed. they stopped at the shoreline, just twenty feet in front of Alexander.
Alexander stayed his ground, not giving up a single inch. "You humiliated me in front of my coven. You made the mistake of letting me live, cause now, your going to pay with your life old vampire!" Ezio said taking a few steps closer to Alexander. Alexander moved his hand up like he was going to grab Ezio and Ezio began to be choked by the air, he was being lifted up as well. Alexander's eyes were fixed on him. The females both made a move for Alexander to stop him. He used his free hand to toss one of them aside, the red head flew and hit a nearby tree.

Michelle was getting confused. What was it that these vampires had against the other? None of them were vegetarian to fight the other, like it used to happen between carnivorous vampires and vegetarians. Michelle looked from one to the other and then Alexander answered her question.
The once relaxed and quiet lake wasn’t as silent anymore, but filled with hate and anger. Even the few animals who dared to get closer to the lake and Alexander and Michelle herself, fled now into the deep woods to save themselves from the upcoming fight that probably would come. Michelle could feel the adrenaline inside her that was starting to take over her body.
So that new male vampire’s name was Ezio, and he had Spanish roots. It looked like Alexander had been all over the world already, no wonder with his four hundred years of life.
Michelle was ready to fight when Ezio moved closer to her and Alexander but had to fight back the urge to smirk when Ezio mentioned that Alex had humiliated him in front of his coven but then she got serious. “If your problem is that he let you live then we can make up for that mistake right away.” Michelle hissed at Ezio and was ready to attack him but then Alex moved his hand and Ezio looked like he was being choked by the air. She looked surprised at Alex, realizing he was using his special power which, by the way, was pretty cool. This old vampire just kept surprising Michelle minute by minute.
Michelle saw the two female vampires make their way to Alex and just as Michelle wanted to help, Alex did help himself again with his free hand. Telekinesis surely was a cool and useful special ability. But maybe she should use hers to have an easier move on Ezio and also confirm if it was still working.
As the red head hit a nearby tree Michelle made her move on the blond one before she reached Alexander. Michelle kicked the blond female vampire on her stomach and forced her to back off. The blond vampire moved fast though and didn’t stay away for all too long, showing her teeth at Michelle. “That was a big mistake” She hissed at Michelle and with a jump she threw Michelle and herself to the ground and punched Michelle in the face. Michelle was feeling the adrenaline now more than before and it was her turn now to show her teeth. She grabbed the blond vampire by her neck with one of her hands and pushed her off of her before she faced her again standing. She twisted herself to have enough impact on her kick once her foot met her target’s chest and threw her a few feet into the lake.
“Need some help with him?” She offered her help to Alex as she looked from Ezio to Alex. “I could distract him some if you know what I mean.” She hinted and hoped Alexander would by now know that her special ability was the so called Extreme Seduction she kinda named it herself.

The red head fled as soon as she got back up and showing her teeth. Alexander smirked. Michelle and the blond one got into a scuffle now. Michelle being the victor after a short fight. Alexander still held Ezio by his neck with his power in the air. Michelle came up to him and asked if he required her to distract him. Alexander had nothing but pure malice in his eyes. "That wont be necessary lady Michelle." He said letting go of Ezio as he fell to the ground landing on his chest. A loud crash sounded throughout the forest. Alexander used his power to lift him to his knees. Alexander had no problem with killing Ezio this time. He wanted to rip his head off, he stayed his hand though. "Ezio, I only put you down as I just did, because you were showing off to your coven." Alexander said to him.
"Do you know what we did with boastful fools in my day Ezio?" Alexander asked with conviction in his tone. "We sewed their lips together so they couldn't continue to boast falsely." Alexander spoke. Of course such a punishment meant nothing to a vampire. "But you are a cold one. The only punishment that would befit you, would be decided by the Volturi." Alexander said turning away from him and walking a few steps away. Ezio was on his knees, bleeding from his nose and mouth. The blond girl came back and made an attempt to jump on Michelle's back.
At the same time, Ezio sprang to his feet and made a move for Alexander. Alexander spun around gracefully and with his power, threw him backwards into the lake before he came close. Ezio crashed into the lake and sank to the bottom. Alexander turned to see how Michelle had faired against the blond girl.

Seeing the red haired one flee, Michelle could only shake her head. “Coward…” She hissed under her breath. She hated cowards with a passion. If it was for her then cowards should be rightfully punished, but unfortunately she did not have that power… not yet anyway.
She saw Alex’s eyes and they were so different from what she knew before. They weren’t showing any kindness now but Michelle wasn’t scared by his malice look. She curiously listened to Alex’s speech as she watched Ezio. Alex didn’t need her help and she was ok with, but she couldn’t understand why he would turn is back on Ezio, knowing he surely wouldn’t just stay there and take this humiliation again.
The blond vampire apparently didn’t have enough already and wished to get her ass kicked by Michelle once more, or she would have left like her fellow red head. Michelle turned around but she was too slow cause once she was ready to face the blonde girl, she had already grabbed Michelle and dig her teeth into Michelle’s neck. Michelle let out a cry as she felt the pain on her neck. She grabbed the blond female by her hair and pushed her away from her. Once she was free she grabbed her neck with her hand and felt the blood as she touched the wound. Furious about this, and also about not knowing if her special ability was still working or not, she went off on the blonde enemy. It was a feisty fight between the two female vampires until Michelle was forced was forced to the ground. But she reacted faster this time and with one hand leaned on the ground she hit her opponent with her other hand so hard she flew back and hit a small branch that pierced her through her chest.

Alexander watched as the blond was sent flying through the air. Alexander rushed over to Michelle and helped her up, holding her by her waist and arm to lift her off the ground. He saw her bleeding, his eyes went softer now, apologetic. "Forgive me Lady Michelle, I didn't mean for you to get hurt." He said in a soft soothing tone. He never intended for her to get hurt. "I'm sorry this is completely my fault. Forgive me lady Michelle." He said her still in his arms. He looked her in the eyes. A few emotions ran through him at that time, sorrow, regret, anger, sadness, many others he couldn't name at the time. He moved the hair from her face gently and still had a sorry look on his face.
He had completely forgotten about Tiberius, evidently, Tiberius was a little busy at the moment, that was fine by him though. He had to take care of Michelle now. He carried her in his arms, lifted her off the ground and carried her to the lake side."Michelle, I am so sorry." He said leaving one arm wrapped around her waist and the other cupped some water to clean her wound.

Michelle was taking her time to get up, mainly because she knew her opponent wouldn’t get back that fast. But to her surprise she heard some footsteps rushing over to her and identified them as being Alexander’s. His gentleman tone was in his voice again when he spoke to Michelle and he apologized to her for getting hurt. Before she could realize what was happening to her, she was already in Alex’s arms as he lifted her off the ground, begging for forgiveness.
Michelle wasn’t mad at Alex for getting hurt; she did fight on her own choice, so he wasn’t to blame. But it surely was a change to her boring few weeks earlier. She hasn’t felt this alive in a while and noticed she was getting slow. She needed to start training again or next time she might not be this lucky again.
She surely did like the time and made use of the fact from being in his arms and carried by him to the lake side. Leaning her head at his chest she wondered what all went through him when he focused his eyes on hers. He then started to clean her wound, but even though it was supposed to burn, his touch kinda made the pain go away on its own.
It was cute though the way he continued apologizing to Michelle while he did bring her to the lake side. She looked at him and smiled softly. “This was the first time you said my name without the lady.” She pointed out softly and added with the same tone: “It’s ok Alex. You didn’t make me fight. I chose to.” She tried to calm him and showed it by offering him a sincere smile. “I’m ok, really.” She said and rested her hand softly on his pale cheek. A few moments later she looked over to the blond vampire, trying to get out. “We should be careful though.” She added.

Alexander felt terrible, Michelle only got hurt because Alexander attacked Ezio. She mentioned him not saying lady this time when he said her name. He paused for a moment. In his haste to apologize to her, he must have forgotten his manners. "Forgive me lady Michelle." He said with a humble apology once again Then she spoke of it being ok, she wanted to fight and she was ok. She then gave him a beautiful smile and placed one hand on his cheek. He smiled and lightly grabbed her hand on his cheek and kissed it delicately. Though he may have kissed her on the lips a few moments later, the blond vampire ruined the moment by trying to get free.
Alexander turned to the blond one then back to Michelle. He stood up, her still in his arms. "Forgive me my lady." He said softly putting her down. He looked at the blond vampire and she froze solid. "If I catch you anywhere near here again, I'll kill you myself. Now be gone!" He said the last part with disdain in his voice. The blond freed herself and ran off the way she had come. Alexander looked toward the lake, Ezio surfaced and gave Alexander a long hard glare before running off into the woods again.
Alexander turned back to Michelle. "That was certainly entertaining." He said in a calm manner. He began wondering about Michelle now, he was worried about her now, her wound was cleaned now, he made sure of that, it just needed to heal. "Lady Michelle, would you care to sit?" He said walking over to a tree beside the lake, there was a generous amount of shade under the tree. He sat with his back up against the trunk of the tree. He waited to see if she would sit with him or not.

“No, no… I didn’t mean it as a bad thing.” Michelle wanted to assure Alex for not having called her lady. Actually she thought it was cute that he had left the lady out for once. She just wasn’t used to such manners that it was different when he didn’t call her lady Michelle.
His lips felt so sweet on her hand that she could only wonder how they would feel if he happened to kiss her on her lips. He was getting protective over her and she kinda liked it. However, he might be protective over all females, considering the gentleman he was.
Michelle watched both the blond vampire and Ezio leaving and then rested her eyes on Alex as he talked to her and invited her to sit down next to him. She smiled and walked over to him, placing herself next to him on the ground. “Yeah, it surely was entertaining.” She agreed and looked over to the lake which was calming down again and turning into the silent and calm place it was before the intruders came by.
“What exactly is your business Alexander? It looks pretty dangerous, yet interesting to me.” She pointed out, keeping her eyes fixed on his.

He wasn't sure if his growing feelings for her were a good thing or a bad thing. He hadn't forgot how she tried to seduce him in the beginning and failed horribly. He also learned that was her gift, and he was curious as to why it didn't work on him. Could have been his ancient blood that flowed through his icy veins. He never heard of such a strange gift before though, the ability to seduce others beyond reason. Could be useful, but not in his line of work, which Michelle was asking about again. Alexander looked her in the eye as she asked, he turned to look at the lake and surrounding trees, animals were returning to it, he smiled at them. Serenity always made him serene himself. He looked back to Michelle with a calm and at peace smile.
"My business is a dangerous one, especially when you have to hide the fact that your really a cold one." He said as he looked to the floor in shame. He hated hiding the fact of who and what he was, though he didn't fear the volturi, he respected them enough to honor their "request" at remaining hidden. She had sat beside him, he could feel a true attraction to her. He knew it couldn't be her gift, cause if his assumptions were right, as they usually were, he would have been all over her in a lust if it was working. He held out his hand for her to place hers in his. A smile on his face as he did so. "I am a contract killer for an Italian mafia family in New York city." He said to her with a shameful expression.
He wasn't proud of what he did, though he had to admit to himself, he loved to kill, and he loved even more the money he received for every kill he made. It was the planning, the anticipation, the adaptations, everything that went into planning a successful assassination that made it worth doing. He wondered what she was thinking, if she was afraid of him, interested even more in him, ashamed of him, excited, anything really. He waited for her to reply, he hoped she didn't judge him too harshly.

He was talking so mysteriously Michelle couldn’t help herself but feel even more curious about Alexander. Hide… Michelle knew all too well what it meant having to hide. Not being able to show her true self to anyone. Why should she anyway? She would end up alone cause humans were passive, they’d grow old and end up dying. And she wasn’t one to go out there and turn humans into vampires and having a hive behind her.
“Sometimes it’s good to hide…” She started talking with a low voice. “Sometimes I think us vampires were made to stay hidden in the shadows of the night.” She confessed, somehow wishing she had never been turned into a vampire, she did miss her little brother Gabriel too much.
She looked at his hand he had held out for her to place hers in his and so she did. His next few words caught Michelle by surprise but she didn’t back off, however, she noticed his shameful expression. This little fact about him was dangerous, yet interesting. She did love adrenaline and fighting… and killing. As a vampire she came to like this, plus, she needed these skills to survive.
She placed her head on his shoulder as her hand slowly closed around his. “You look like you don’t like what you do.” She started carefully. She needed to know him better before she opened up to him. These feelings were just too confusing right now and she couldn’t figure them out yet. “Stay… stay with me here in Forks for a while.” She slowly asked him and before she realized it the words had been said. But she felt like she could learn to trust Alex, all it would take was time.

Her hand was icy hot, he didn't know how she could be so warm, yet cold. Well the cold he could explain, she was a vampire, but the heat that was distant yet known, was inexplainable. She rested her head on his shoulder after taking his hand. She said he didn't look like he enjoyed it, truth was he did, and thats why he was so ashamed of it. Her hand closed around his, he held hers softly. Something about Michelle, just felt right, he couldn't explain it, due to the fact he wasn't fooling around with love for a long while. He never went out looking for love, it always had a way of finding him though.
Then she said something he didn't expect to hear from her. She asked him to stay, stay here in forks with her for awhile. She said it slowly, softly and with a beautiful voice. He leaned his head on top of hers and smiled. "If it is your wish my lady." He said in a soothing tone. It had been almost four hundred years since he met a female vampire he wanted for anything other then lust. Michelle was a beautiful girl, she was so young compared to him. He didn't really have a problem with that, there was much he could teach her. Maybe he would even show her the ropes and bring her into the contract killing business.
He laughed on the inside at that. He wouldn't do that though, he didn't want to drag her into that kind of life. Wouldn't he be doing that anyway if he stayed? He would put her in danger, she wouldn't be safe if he was with her. He had enemies, people, humans and vampires who wanted him dead. As long as she was with him, she would be hunted as well. He couldn't have that though. He'd never forgive himself if she got hurt again because of him. Maybe it was almost time for him to leave.
If he left, Michelle would be sad, but she'd get over it wouldn't she? He didn't want to go, but he felt it would keep her safe. He would have to leave and be gone by morning though, or else he could be tracked back to Michelle. Tiberius still hadn't shown up, Alexander began to grow worried about him. Though he knew better then to worry about Tiberius, he was a big boy, maybe a whole hundred years younger, but still a wise vampire. Alexander figured he could take care of himself though. He turned his head slowly and kissed Michelle gently on the forehead.

“Thank you.” She whispered when he said he’d stay in Forks. Why was it that she felt so attracted to him? Asides by her powers telling her he might be the one mate she was looking for. Why did she feel safe with him? Why was the fear of never seeing him again suddenly growing inside Michelle? These and much more questions she could not answer. “You really don’t like killing?” She asked him carefully since she actually did enjoy it. But if he wouldn’t then she was ok with that.
She started to play with his fingers after he had kissed her forehead gently. She was enjoying his soft touch that felt anything but cold. Snuggling a little bit closer to him for protection it was almost looking like she didn’t want to let him go. However, their ages were just too different. He was too old and she was so young, but it still felt right somehow. But right now, Michelle was getting a little scared about her feelings.
“I’m sorry.” She apologized to him. She felt bad now for having tried to seduce him. What if he would have been seduced? Then she probably would have never gotten the chance to get to know Alexander and she wouldn’t have gotten the chance to start being herself again, something she thought wouldn’t be possible ever again.
