12 1+2 = What?

Two days later I find myself parting way with Chloe and Candice. I cant say I am not thrilled because I am. Chloe glared as she leaned against the limo, she had whined to Carter that she would help him, but Carter said no he had to work it was not safe for her. She had scoffed but made sure I was present when she had kissed him in a frenzy.

I ignored them watching Candice and Steven she was kind of sweet she just kissed him thanking him for the break. She didn't ask for more and he didn't offer it. Which was sad I thought they looked cute together she was everything he was not. Candice was small and petite to his tall and broad, dark to his fair, but most was that she appeared weak and helpless to his radiating strength. Don't get me wrong she was a killer and 10 times more powerful then a human.

Steven called me to the car opened the back door. I didn't get in but eye the boot. 'Get in Alice.' Steven said. I sat and he closes the door.

'I can understand why Chloe doesn't like her, she is pretty and smells lovely, but she couldn't handle it the way that Carter is so possessive of her, jealousy she thinks as Carter is her's, Chloe does not wont any one to have him, even though over the years he's told her she's nothing but a booty call. Especially after what she did to him I am surprised he even talks to her.' Candice said, 'Bye Steven.' Candice looked to me and smiled giving a small wave. 'See you around Alice.' She walked off to the waiting limo. I sat there dumbfounded she had known I could hear her then smiled, waved like she was my friend. Yer I suppose she was in a way. Similar to Steven helping me in subtile ways. I made a mental note to be nicer to her next time.

I sat in the back glad to watch the boring trees and paddocks. I smile but get tired and lie down on the backseat to sleep. When I woke up next it was dark Steven was driving Carter was in the passenger seat the seat reclined. Steven talks. 'Well well look who's awake finally.'

'Good morning or should I say night to you Steven.' I stretch and yawn wide. Looking out the window.

'Do you need to stop.' Steven enquires.

'Yes please.' I answer.

'Can you hold on for 5 minutes?' Steven asks the oncoming light from the other cars light up his profile, beautiful no handsome.

I smile. 'Yes I can hold thank you, Steven.' It was probably the most I had spoken in the past few weeks at one time.

'So since we are on a roll do you wont something to eat.' Steven asked. 'If so it will have to be simple as we need to keep a good pace so you can eat it in the car.'

'I'm fine for now thanks Steven plus I have a few thing in my bag that can tie me over for awhile.' I finish looking out the window. Steven pulls up into a car park where you could see a toilet block a little way away.

'I'll be back soon.' I opened the door taking a step and plowed straight into Carter. 'Um sorry.' his hand on my arm holding me steady. I step away moving towards the toilet I can feel him walking behind me. I duck into the entry way but he holds my wrist. I stop he looks inside then come back out sweeping his hand for me to go in.

It's hard to pee knowing someone is listening and that someone is Carter. I wash up the best I can in the sink my teeth gleaming and minty. As I turn the corner Carter is blocking the way his eye watching me, closely. 'So your finished now.'

I nod

He took a step towards me. 'So you'll talk to Steven but not me.' he said taking another step forward. I take another back we do this until my backs at the wall. My heart races his hand go either side of my head. Locking me in I avoid looking at him so I gaze at his chest. 'Look at me.' he growls.

My eyes slowly travel up to meet his they are dark, I swallow loudly. He leans in smelling me. 'Alice.' he says deep and throaty. Before I could react he was on me pinning me against the wall his hand pulling my thigh up to his hip, his other hand pulling my hair back hard opening my neck to him. I watch as his fangs grow large he moves to my neck. I tense waiting for the bite expecting it to hurt, but his kisses my neck softy sucking without breaking the skin.
