"Nothing." Alice said softly and slowly. She didn`t want to tell Seth, but he really wanted and deserved to know.

Seth Lockhart · January 3, 2009, 12:23:57 PM

Seth sighed and then stood up.
"Fine." He said in the same quiet tone.
"When you decide if you want to tell me, come find me."
He turned and started walking towards the school, his hands shoved in his pockets.

Alice sighed and stood up. She followed him, at his side in a second. "The problem is that I`m going to live for a very long time and you aren`t." She thought her statement was rather bold, they hadn`t known each other for very long, but it had been what she was thinking.

Seth looked at her, stopping in place. He felt awkward and a little sad. He didn't love her yet, but he really liked Alice already. He put his arms on her shoulders.

"Alice..." He said.

"Quit now. Before we get hurt..." He whispered the last sentence.

Alice deliberatly locked eyes with Seth. Her eyes were glassy, even though she would never actually cry. "I don`t want to, Seth. Like I said the other night, you surprised me. I haven`t been surprised in over two-hundred years." She swallowed, a lump forming in her throat.

"I don't want you to get hurt." He said.

"It would kill me."

Alice`s lower lip trembled slightly. "Okay, I know how this is going to sound, but your blood smells... wonderful, okay? And I`m not talking about eating you, I would never do that, but it would cause me physical pain to be separated from you right now. It`s like... your blood was meant for me." She said, her voice lowering slowly.

Seth's stomach felted knotted up. He looked at the ground then back at her. He was at a loss for words.

Alice looked away, her eyes burning. "I`m sorry." She whispered. "I shouldn`t have told you."

Seth Lockhart · January 3, 2009, 01:11:51 PM

"No...I'm glad you did." He said. He pulled her close to him in a warm embrace.

Alice bit her lip as she hugged Seth. "But it makes things... worse." She closed her eyes, afriad of his response.

Seth Lockhart · January 3, 2009, 01:27:38 PM

He pulled away enough to look into her eyes.
"We'll make it work.
He pushed some of her bangs out of her eyes and smiled reassuringly.

potter_fan122 · January 3, 2009, 01:29:39 PM

Alice nodded, ignoring the fact that the sun was reflecting off of her eyes now that Seth moved her bangs. "I know that." She said softly.
