7 Chapter 7

( Alexander POV):

As I intently observed the Cullens family, my observation haki picked up on something intriguing. It turns out that the person known as Edythe, who will be my brother's future partner, has expressed a desire to establish a connection with me in order to strengthen her bond with him. Even possible, wanting to turn me a long with him. However, I can't help but feel a little disgusted for being taken advantage of in this situation.

Contemplating my next move, I find myself torn. Should I disrupt her plans or make it more challenging for her? Perhaps I should confide in Arthur and let him handle the situation. Should I just call her out on it? The best one yet, should I just throw hands at her even if she becomes my sister in law? My hands are all about gender equality.

Another note, jealousy, begins to creep in. Where is my destined partner, someone who would go to great lengths to be near me or do anything for me?! In my previous life, I was single. Will I face the same fate in this new existence? Shouldn't I be the main male character to get my own women first before my brother?

Now that I've vented my frustrations in my mind, I realize that I can't entirely blame her. From what I've gathered, she doesn't engage in much conversation with others, indicating a lack of social skills. On the other hand, it's not uncommon for guys to engage in similar deceitful behavior. Many play the waiting game with a girl they're interested in, even if she's already in a relationship, only to swoop in and take her away when an opportunity arises. Some may even engage in casual encounters and then move on without a second thought after that event.

While the idea of immortality does hold some allure, the thought of relinquishing the pleasure of food and having a family doesn't quite resonate with me. Moreover, there's a lingering sense that becoming a vampire would somehow be beneath my true potential. I can't quite pinpoint if it's due to the uncertainties of my human existence, but I have this deep-seated belief that there is something greater awaiting me. It feels as though there is a hidden key that can unlock my true potential, but I'm left wondering what exactly I need to obtain it.

I'll take some time to reflect on these thoughts until tomorrow when Alice comes to speak with me. She appears to be a kind-hearted girl, though it's unfortunate that she's already involved with someone else. I should go easy on Alice as she is just going to do it for her family, but Edythe is a different story. For now, let's focus on getting through the rest of the day and allowing it to come to a close.

.....

Tomorrow morning came, and the first gym class started. I am sitting out in a corner again after normal exercises. I wonder what music should I play next.

As my observation haki stayed active, I wanted to see how Alice slowly walked towards me. As she approached, I couldn't help but think what should I say. Should I be mean or nice?

Alice took a seat beside me, I bet if I could see her eyes are probably sparkling with curiosity. "Hey," she greeted me with out a doubt like a warm smile because how warm her arua was. "Mind if I join you?"

I'll just go with the flow with her. "Course not," I replied, trying to hide any feelings.

"It's nice to have some company."

We sat there for a moment, enjoying the brief respite from the intense physical activity happening around us. The sound of sneakers squeaking on the gym floor and the rhythmic thumping of basketballs filled the air. It was in this moment of tranquility that Alice decided to speak first.

Alice: "My name is Alice Cullen. I heard you are new here. How are you liking Folk, Washington so far?"

"Nice to meet you, Alice. Yes, I'm new here with my twin brother Arthur. I'm enjoying it so far. It is a little too quiet here from where I'm from."

Alice: "You will get used to it. I notice you have your iPod out. What music are going to play next?"

"Well, I was thinking of something upbeat and catchy, maybe a mix of pop and dance music to help wake me up more."

Alice nodded in agreement. "That sounds perfect! Music really helps wake up better in the morning."

As we continued our conversation, I couldn't help but notice it was mostly about me, then my brother. Is she really trying to know me? I thought there would be more questions about Arthur, for she can tell Edythe. Surprisly, Alice and I shared interests and genuine conversations, which made me realize that there was a possibility of being friends if things worked out but I already knew what I will do with Edythe when introduced to her. That being friends probably won't happen after what im going to do.Then she asked a question about my scars on my face.

I told told her it happened when my

family was camping in the woods during a

the summer time when i was 12 years old. A blind person and the woods are not a great idea. It was the middle of the night, and people were sleeping. I had to use the restroom. Tried to go out as my father said, "Just go pee outside a bit away from the tent and remember your steps to turn around to come back."

While I was doing my business. I heard a bear noise, and then I guess I was too close to it as it was coming closer. Then I felt a big pressure by me. I was terrified as then I felt the bear's claws grazed my face, leaving a small but painful wounds. The adrenaline rushed through my veins as I screamed for help, desperately hoping that my family would wake up in time. My father, always prepared for any situation, had his gun nearby and quickly reacted to the danger.

Without hesitation, he aimed and fired at the bear, the sound of the gunshot echoing through the silent woods. The bear let out a roar of pain and retreated, startled by the sudden attack. My family, now fully awake and alarmed, rushed to my side, heard how worried they were.

My mother, with tears streaming down her cheeks, as they fell on my face, held me tightly, relieved that I was safe. My father inspected my face, assessing the damage caused by the bear's claws. Although the wound was shallow, it served as a stark reminder of how close I had come to a much more severe injury.

We quickly packed up our belongings, deciding it was best to leave the campsite and seek medical attention for my injuries. As we drove away, the events of that night replayed in my mind, leaving me with a newfound respect for the power and unpredictability of nature.

In the days that followed, I received medical treatment for my facial wounds, which gradually healed over time. The incident served as a constant reminder of the importance of caution and preparedness when venturing into the wilderness, especially being blind. From that day forward, I never took my safety for granted, always mindful of the potential dangers that lurked in the great outdoors and the world around me.

As the conversation unfolded, Alice's emotions resembled a shifting sky. At first, her aura turned a somber shade of blue, mirroring her sadness over my recent misfortune. However, like a skilled painter, I deftly changed the subject, transforming the canvas of our discussion. As we continued to converse, her curiosity bloomed like a budding flower, and she began to inquire about Arthur, her questions sprinkling the remainder of our class time.

Alice:" Bye Alexander, let's talk again."

"Goodbye, Alice, it was nice talking to you."

She must be on her way to Edythe to tell her what we talked about. I decided to call Edythe out when she introduced herself to me from Alice.
