Everyone had warned you about the twins, the 'witch twins'.
They were described as pure evil incarnate yet when you met them, their sadistic side was apparent, even their standoffish nature but nothing came across as pure evil.
You were warned that they looked innocent but it was an act.
Everyone you had ever known told you to stay away from them, no matter what they say or do.

You tried to remember the advice, keeping it in the back of your mind as the two introduced themselves to you and even grew to befriend you. Still the advice rang in your head but you couldn't help but feel sorry for them. That perhaps they were a little misunderstood or just wanted someone.
You couldn't explain how Alec drew you in.
If anything he seemed to influence your friendship with Jane.
Everyone had told you to stay away yet the twins were encouraging. They didn't recoil when you told them your gift as many did.

You were honest, your gift made you do terrible things. It wasn't exactly enamoring. Perhaps that made you drawn to them more, outcasts meeting outcasts. They seemed to enjoy your ability and more specifically, the dark things you had done with it during your past. You weren't proud of those times and they didn't lecture you or encourage you to do worse.
Instead they accepted it, they had done some pretty wicked things and anyone who didn't was associated with someone who had.
Seemingly that's just how it is in the vampire world.

Somehow, the friendship naturally progressed to Alec wanted to stay behind to spend more time with you. It was always talking in the most secluded areas where no one would find you. The forest, against a particular large tree, moss acting as a seat. In fields and meadows where you both would be hidden sitting among the grass. The two of you would just roam, finding the perfect spot to sit and enjoy the moment.
Neither of you brought up the progression of the friendship. It came natural when you both began to sit that little more closer than before. Lingering touches, like Alec running his finger along the side of your jaw absentmindedly. It was easy to be around Alec. You didn't always have to talk, explain yourself. He already knew.
The atmosphere was intense but never uncomfortable.
The world continued on but you and Alec were stuck in your own bubble.

You turned your head and suddenly jerked back with yelp.
Alec turned his own head quickly to you. "What did you do? I looked away for two seconds!"
"That bit of grass went up my nose." You heaved, covering your face.
"Wait... seriously?" Alec's eyes widened slightly.
"Yeah. I literally moved into it." You replied, still cradling your nose.
"Are you being dramatic? Surely you-"
You cut Alec off. "No, trust me. It went straight up there. It went so far up my nose that I think it could reach some distant childhood memories."
Alec couldn't help but laugh. "You're an idiot! Are you okay?"
"Yeah, think so." You nodded, grabbing the specific blade of grass, tearing it from the roots and tossing it behind you. "Now I've had vengeance."
Alec shook his head with an amused smile. "I can't believe you did that. Pay attention to your surroundings! What had you so distracted?"

That was a tricky question, because you had been thinking about him at the time. However you couldn't tell him that.
"I don't know." You shrugged, looking down at the ground.
"That's a lie." Alec pointed out.
You knew you couldn't lie to Alec, but it had been worth the try. "If I tell you, you can't freak out." You began.
"That's concerning. Should I be worried?" Alec asked.
"No, it's not bad but it's a secret. If I tell you, you can't freak out." Alec nodded in response. You stared at him momentarily, clearly very nervous. Quickly, you leaned in, meetings Alec's lips with your own.
He stayed very still and you decided it was best if you pulled back. Although when you did, Alec immediately chased after your lips, this time kissing you.
His hand moving to pull your face closer to him.
