"Oh, hello," Alice said, surprised but still polite. "Scarlett, who's this?"
Dakota's face turned angrier as her body trembled with antagonism, and she instantly began approaching her unwelcomingly.
"So, you're the bloodsucker I smelt!" Dakota bit.
Alice's eyes widened with confusion and fret as she slowly backed up in defense from Dakota, who was fiercely looking down at Alice's shorter stature.
"Kota, stop! I pleaded.
I rushed to put myself between the two girls as if I were a strong shield that could defend a shatterproof, marble-skinned vampire such as Alice.
"Please, Kota!" I held up my hands. "Don't hurt her!"
"You're defending one of them?" She questioned angrily. "After being vigorously hunted by one?"
"She's not like her!" I tried telling her. "Alice would never hurt me like that!"
Shock flitted across her face, now realizing who the vampire was that I was protecting — provoking her even more than before.
"This is Alice?" She inquired, gesturing to the vampire guarded behind me. "Alice Cullen?"
I timidly nodded once. "Yes."
"As in your ex-bloodsucker who left you?" She probed curtly.
"Kota, please don't start anything," I begged, not wanting any more conflict to transpire.
"Why the hell is she here?" She nearly shouted.
Alice suddenly moved in front of me, still keeping a safe distance between her and Dakota, and I warily stood off to the side when Alice advanced past my shielded position.
"I'm sorry, but may I ask who you are?" Alice chimed in, slightly miffed in her tone.
"Don't speak to me, you leech!" Dakota asserted. "You've put her through nothing but danger and hell — you and your whole family of bloodsuckers!"
"What did you call me?" Alice's voice tensed, still calm.
"You heard me," Dakota retorted. "That's all that your kind is!"
"Kota, enough!" I interrupted. "If you're just here to argue and throw out insults, I think it's best you just leave."
"Scarlett, why is she here?" Dakota demanded. "I thought she was gone for good."
"Can we please just talk about this later?" I begged. "Right now is not a good time."
"Scarlett, if she's here, then I can't protect you here anymore," she sternly told me. "We can only protect our own territory with a Cullen here."
