"Hello class. Today we are going to have you in groups of four. So find your partners and then we will start the assignment." the teacher said.
I bit my lip, I should partner up with the boys. I have no idea what I'm supposed to do here.
"Alice, hey. Be in my group." Cade said.
"I'll join too." Dante said as he walked over here.
I looked at Ryan.
He had his headphones in again.
He caught me staring and stood up. He started walking out of the classroom and he turned to look at me again.
He mouthed, "Come. Now."
"I'll be right back guys. I need to go do something for another class."
"Oh, okay. See you later then." Cade mumbled sadly.
Dante looked at me with concern.
I gave him a small smile and left.
"Alice, are you remembering things? Like things about My brothers and I?"
"Yeah, it's none of your concern though."
"Alice, stop being like this. It isn't fair."
"Fair? My father and your father basically sold me of to you and the others! That isn't fair, Ryan." I snapped.
"Alice. You're right. I'm sorry. I just care a lot about you. Its hard enough when you're avoiding me."
I calmed down a bit.
"I'm not avoiding you. I swear I'm not."
"Then why are you keeping things from me?"
"I'm keeping things from everyone."
"Alice."
Flashback:
"Alice." Ryan sighed.
Fourteen year old me looked up at him.
"What? I'm sorry, okay? I didn't mean to get hurt. It just happened."
"Be more careful. You're still a young girl. You're delicate."
"I'm not delicate! I'm fourteen years old and I know how to stand up for myself."
"Yet you let this girl hurt you?"
"She wasn't worth it. I didn't want to fight her."
"Alice, get out of wonderland. You need to be able to take care of yourself. Don't take a beating next time."
"Fine. I don't like school though. They're all mean to me."
"That's because they're jealous."
"Of what?"
"Of everything you are."
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"You're a princess. You dress like a little punk and you look amazing. Of course they're jealous and confused."
"I don't like being a princess. Its no fun."
"It'll be okay. Maybe one day you'll be my wife and we can have fun all the time."
"That's true. Maybe one day."
"Still you can try to find love Alice. You'll need a good king one day."
"The king of fallen angels. I don't know about that."
"Well all of the fallen angels are vampires. So technically the king of vampires."
"Not all of them. I'm still human."
"That's true. Well when you're older you can transform."
He finished wrapping the scratches on my arm.
"Go see what Dante and Cade want. I bet they want you to help in the kitchen again."
I laughed, "Ryan, you really are a good guy. Stay out of trouble when I'm not around."
"I pormise," he crossed his heart, "Alice."
I'm the princess of fallen angels. No, I'm the queen now.
"Alice. Hey, look at me." Ryan said and lifted my chin so I would look at him.
"Ryan..I..I want to go home. I don't feel so well."
"Okay, I'll call our choffier."
"No, I'll just walk."
"Its far away Alice. Let me walk with you. You probably don't know the way."
I nodded and he grabbed my hand.
He walked with me outside of the school and he picked me up bridal style.
"I don't want you to walk." he whispered.
"Ryan, I remembered how you helped me after I got into that fight. Thank you. I'm really sorry for being mean to you before."
"Alice, shut up." He said.
I bit my lip.
"Alice, if you don't stop biting your lip I'm going to bite it for you." he growled in my ear playfully.
"Ryan!" I giggled.
He laughed and kissed my cheek.
"You know I wouldn't do that. Well without your permission."
"Do you read those romance books for women who are upset with their marriages?" I teased.
"No, okay maybe a few." He chuckled and set me down.
He grabbed me by my waist and pulled me to him.
"Is this what those women wish for?" he breathed against my neck.
"Y..yes..." My heart sped up.
He chuckled, "You're really cute like this Alice."
"Ryan, what if they come home early? Would you really risk getting in trouble with Carlisle?"
"He's a fun sucker."
"True." I laughed.
He kissed my neck then my cheek.
"Alice, I really do love you. I hope you make the right choice when the time comes."
"Well it's definitely not Carlisle."
He laughed, "Smart girl."
"He acts like a noble even though he is just a young boy."
"He's sixteen and ready to rule the world. He wouldn't pay attention to you one bit."
I sighed.
"Justin is too eager to be with you."
"Cade, he isn't exactly the type of guy for me. He's my best friend."
"So that leaves me and Dante."
"Yeah. You and Dante."
"Well then. We both love you, so it depends on who you love." he let go of me and looked at the night sky.
"Maybe the stars are in my favor." he mumbled.
"I..."
"Ryan." a deep voice interrupted.
"Father?" Ryan asked.
"So you've won her?"
"No, she still has a choice."
"Well I expect the choice to be made by the end of the week."
"Father, be nice to her. She isn't like mother."
The man walked over to Ryan and slapped him.
"Don't touch him! You can't treat your son this way! He is your blood!"
He grabbed me by my throat.
"Shut your mouth, princess. You have no say in the way I treat my sons."
"I will speak my mind. I don't care what you say."
He threw me.
"Alice!" Ryan called.
I got up and brushed the dirt off of my uniform.
"I will not make a decision unless you agree to treat the boys better."
"She is like your mother. Only younger. Fine, keep your end of the deal."
"Alice, are you okay?"
"I'm fine, are you?" I softly touched the red mark on his cheek.
He winced.
"Let's go get some medicine. That'll make it hurt less."
I started to go inside, but he grabbed my wrist.
"Be careful. Please Alice."
"I will." I promised.
He kissed me.
